Miss Gilliante. Nier turned to look at Luna who brought up a hot cup of tea for her and held it up to her. Nier ignored her while continuing to look forward with her hand on her sword handle as if Luna didnt exist. Luna didnt panic or get mad. She just stood there in front of Nier holding up the tea cup while looking at her.
The sky finally lost out to the heavy cold. Although it shouldve still been winter, snow had begun to fall. Nier wore her thick cape as she stood outside. A layer of snow had already ford on her cape. Luna was just wearing a simple maid uniform which offered very little in terms of warmth. Further, elves naturally dislike the cold so she was shivering due to the cold. However, she didnt drink the hot tea in her hand despite that.
Miss Gilliante This is tea his majesty told to bring to you
Luna felt like her mouth had frozen. Nier sighed and then called another Valkyrie over. She shook off the snow on her and then took the cup of tea before drinking the now cold cup of tea. Luna smiled as she looked at Nier and said: If you do this I think his majesty might not look at you
His majesty?
Nier looked at the cup of tea and frowned a little. She then took the cup and returned it to Luna. Nier then turned around and walked to the inner court. Luna followed her back to the warm small room and let out a sigh of relief. Nier pulled open the entrance to the small room to the side and went in. This place was the rest room for Valkyries on duty. Luna looked inside with a slight feeling of concern.
Although Nier didnt invite her in, she didnt close the door. Luna hesitated for a mont before saying: Please excuse . and then entered the room.
The room was very small with only one bed, one desk and one chair. Nier sat on the bed with her back against the wall and closed her eyes to rest. Luna sat on the wooden chair to the side and looked at Nier. She asked: Miss Gilliante If you do not mind, could I ask you a question? Umm
Nier didnt spare her a look. She kept her eyes closed and Luna wasnt sure if she was indeed asleep. Luna smiled bitterly. Nier truly doesnt like her. They two of them had never exchanged a single sentence between them before even when they lived together. Luna usually speaks to Nier, but Nier never replied.
I will consider it as you having agreed then. I want to know why you and his majesty are angry with each other You two were a great match You looked amazing when you walked together. Why did you two get angry with each other? His majesty has always looked down recently. I think he probably wants to apologise to you.
Nier opened her eyes and looked at Luna. Her gaze showed annoyance and anger. Luna smiled helplessly. She then looked at Nier and said: Miss Gilliante, you care about his majesty, dont you? You react at the very ntion of his majesty Whatever the case I feel that you and his majesty are very
The tip of a sharp sword was pointed at Lunas neck the next second. Nier was still sitting just a second before, and yet her sword was already at Lunas neck. Niers gaze was very close up to her. Anger spurred her up. She looked at Luna and in a cold tone said: Say one more word of nonsense and Ill kill you where you sit.
Threatening with a blade is pointless, Miss Gilliante. Luna still had her friendly smile on. She wasnt the least bit afraid of Niers sword. She looked at Nier and in relaxed tone said: Ive seen many things which were more frightening. If I was the past version of myself, I would step forward into your blade without any hesitation to escape. But I am now worried about his majesty, just like you are, Miss Gilliante. You cannot stop the call of your heart with a blade.
Nier looked at her and violently said: Quit with the nonsense. Get out right now.
She didnt dare to slit open Lunas throat because Luna was now the princes personal servant. In terms of status, they were on equal footing now. However, since the empress doted on the prince, Lunas status in the palace was slightly higher than even her own.
The first ti you spoke to was because of his majesty. Luna didnt budge. She looked at Luna and spoke in a tone like she was pleading her, Miss Gilliante, there are so things that only you can help his majesty with. I cannot protect his majesty. All I can do is sacrifice my life for him. I cannot actually protect him. Miss Gilliante, regardless of what happened between the both of you, his majesty needs you right now.
It has nothing to do with !
It does have to do with you!
His majestys life has got nothing to do with . I am her majestys Valkyrie. I only care about her majestys safety.
It is aningless to lie to yourself like this, Miss Gilliante.
Luna stood up, looked at Nier, smiled helplessly and continued, Miss Gilliante, you care about his majesty, thats why you try to convince yourself otherwise with your identity as a Valkyrie. Otherwise, you wouldnt have left, given her majestys previous order was for you to guard him.
What do you know? His majesty
What about ?
I stood outside the door and looked at the both of them.
Nier reacted surprised. She rolled her wrist and sheathed her sword. She then looked at , bowed and greeted : Your majesty.
Nier.
I looked at her and then smiled helplessly while saying, Nier, are you still not willing to forgive ? What happened previously was my fault. I hope that you will be able to continue protecting .
Nier raised her head. In a polite and firm tone, she said: I never got angry because of you. I dont dare to. I am her majestys Valkyrie. Only her majesty can give orders, not you.
I thought so.
I smiled helplessly. I then looked at Nier and continued, Im not ordering you. Im begging you, Nier. Im not ordering you to help , but begging you to help , because I cant complete the next step alone. I need your help. Thats right, I need you. I require your strength to make it a success.
Nier looked at and nonchalantly replied: I cant agree even if you beg . I am a Valkyrie.
Nier didnt look angry or proud. She looked expressionless as usual, as if nothing happened between us, like we had never t before. I looked at Nier, clenched my fist and said: Her majestys orders are she ordered you to drop all your upcoming jobs and gave you a three day vacation. You can do as you please during these three days. So Im begging you to help for these three days.
What? This this
Nier gave a shocked reaction as she looked at . It was the first ti she wore a look of shock on her face. She looked at without knowing what to do. It looks like shes never thought about vacations. It was the first ti she had thoughts about acting on her own accord.
I looked at her, extended my hand out and said: Dont let down, Nier. I pleaded mom to get you your freedom. I hope you can help during these three days, not as a Valkyrie, but as Nier, my bodyguard. Help make this a success.
So you are no longer a Valkyrie, Miss Gilliante. What are you going to do now that you are not a Valkyrie? Luna looked at Nier and pleaded, Miss Gilliante, do what you want to do. Do not lie to yourself. You really want to help his majesty, dont you? You care about his majesty, dont you?!
Nier.
I
I looked at Nier and she looked at like she was in a dilemma. She bit down on her lips. It was the first ti she was hesitant. She swept her eyes over the two of us. I didnt move or press her. I just waited for her.
Nier looked at and I was still looking at her. I then softly said: Sorry, Nier.
Nier shivered and then lowered her head. She slowly removed her long sword and placed it on the table. Afterwards, she took in a deep breath and raised her head to look at again. She sternly said: Your majesty, I, Nier Gilliante shall follow your orders temporarily. However, please grant a sword!
