Book 6: Chapter 45


    Wedding ceremony? Nier ced her fork down and looked at me, a little surprised. She then wiped her mouth with her hand and excitedly eximed, Your Majesty, are you finally free?!


    For the moment, I guess. Mainly because M- Her Majesty nned it. I was clueless. I smiled, chuckling. I looked at Nier, who was so excited that her hands and feet were twitching, and continued, But I must admit that I had actually pretty much had forgotten about it. Ive honestly been flooded with too much work recently and our rtionship how do I put it? Its like weve been married for a long time already.


    Nier nodded with a soft giggle. She then sped her face gently and smiled withplete infatuation, looking somewhat silly. She mumbled to herself, Ah Im so looking forward to my wedding dress ehehe Itll be my first time seeing one. Ive never seen one before I keep getting to see new things after getting married to His Majesty. I never thought Id be able to get married in the past, but Im the princess now Nier smiled blissfully and spaced out.


    Her change was actually quite significant. Just two months ago, she wore a stern look and kept saying to me Please kill yourself, and always remarking Im Her Majestys Valkyrie. But now shespletely transformed into a young housewife who waits for my return every night with a bright smile.


    <em>Nier didnt see herself as a woman in the past. She treated herself as Her Majestys tool. When did she begin to change?</em>


    <em>I dont know, but isnt it good enough that we have a happy ending? </em>I picked up my cup of tea with a smile and scanned Nier.


    I suddenly noticed that Nier hadnt really touched the food on her te.


    <em>Come to think of it; Niers appetite has decreased a fair bit. When I first asked her, she just said she didnt have an appetite. I didnt think too much of it, either since Nier is a lot healthier, and stronger physically, than Lucia.</em>


    <em>But its been a number of days now. Nier has to instruct my guards in swordy every day. Will she be okay like this?</em>


    I looked at Nier and said, Nier, are you alright? I noticed that you were eating less and less. You have to teach every day, as well. How about giving them a few days off? Dont get sick before our wedding.


    Nier paused for a moment, then revealed a smile intended to put me at ease and replied, Im alright, Your Majesty. Im feeling fine Its just that my body recently erm its not my bodys fault Its that the things I consumed recently put me off from eating.


    Niers expression turned a little imposing when she said  the things that I consumed like she wanted to vomit. I frowned and asked, What did you consume thest two days, Nier?


    The drugs that can speed up pregnancy Her Majesty gave them to me Nier paused and then went on, It tasted terrible. After I ate it, my lower abdomen kept feeling hot and I wanted to see you even more. I kept having the urge to do that


    <em>Yeah? Cause I think you were the same before you had that stuff Thats definitely not because of the drug. Its just that your instincts are now different.</em>


    I looked at her silently, let out a heavy sigh and said, Nier, didnt I tell you not to rush that? Well definitely have our own child. Theres no point for you to be like that. Youre harming your body like this. Nier, youre not to consume those types of drugs again. Eat properly. If you consume them again, Ill go sleep with Her Majesty at night.


    Dont! Dont! Dont! Im sorry, Your Majesty! You muste back at night I can only sleep if I get to hold you Nier was so frightened she turned pale and nearly cried.


    I sighed and stroked her head. I then said, Dont do things that will harm your health again. Ill be sad if you do that.


    Nier looked at me and nodded gently. I told her, Well definitely have our own child, so you dont need to worry.


    Uhm Your Majesty. Nier nodded and then grabbed my hand. After a soft giggle, she said, Your Majesty, Im really looking forward to our wedding. Honest. Im honestly really looking forward to it.


    I am too. I nodded and then stood up.


    After waiting for two seconds, I suddenly realised the Luna was not here anymore. I didnt have another personal servant, so I had to wear my cape myself.


    Though there were maids around, none of them dared toe over.


    No one was allowed to touch His Majestys things other than his personal servant.


    I randomly missed Luna when I picked up my cape.


    <em>I wonder how she is doing.</em>


    Luna doesnt have enough mana, so she cant set up amunicationwork with me. As such, she had no choice but to send letters back. I believe that Luna will be fine, though. That group isnt our enemy.


    Your Majesty, is something the matter?


    Yeah. Im going to go and see Her Majesty now. Ive rarely seen her recently. I bet shes been cooped up in her room preparing for the wedding. Oh, right, Nier, when Freya gets back from the Earth Dragons ce, remember to tell her to go and see if Castell he needs any help.


    Nier stood up. She took my cape off my hands and draped it onto my shoulders from in front of me. She then carefully did up the buttons.


    I watched her white hands gently move about in front of me.


    She then looked up and kissed my lips. She smiled and said, Take care, Your Majesty Ive wanted to try this and as I thought, it really does give me the feeling of being a wife.


    Thank you, Nier.


    I cupped Niers face in my hands and kissed her lips. Our tongues entwined for a while, not wanting to let go of each other. We embraced before I exited the dining hall and headed out.


    I dont have any other work today, but I should go and see Mommy Elizabeth since shes done so much for me.


    I really want to go and see Lucia, but Lucia has only just gotten pregnant so you cant notice any visible difference. Im really looking forward to it, though. In fact, Im looking forward to the birth of our child so much that I dont want to do anything.


    <em>A cosy family is certainly what causes a man to lose his fighting spirit, after all. I definitely cant go and do dangerous things on whims after my child is born. I probably wouldnt even be willing to leave this ce.</em>


    <em>Though I never had any n to conquer the world, it would be too ordinary if my dimensional travel story were to end at this small city. There are ces I have yet to go to on this continent. Ill feel like I have wasted an opportunity if I stop here.</em>


    <em>After Lucias child is born, I need to give him a settled environment, a cosy home and then wait for Nier to give birth to her own child.</em>


    <em>Then Im going to take my guard unit and Earth Dragon cavalry unit north of the continent. I want to see what its like there.</em>


    <em>Thats my n. I want to have a n. I dont want to lose my fighting spirit here. Luckily, both of my mothers are still young. If I put their grandchildren in their care, they wont fight and I can live a carefree life outside. I dont want to return to the other world either because Im just a pile of ashes there. Im going to enjoy my second life here to the fullest</em>


    <em>Though this isnt my life</em>
