What are you looking at, Nier?
Ah, Your Majesty!
Nier quickly went to stand up, but the Empress waved her hand then pressed it on Niers shoulder and said, You dont need to get up, Nier. Your well-being is more important right now. Are you feeling all right? If there are any problems, you must notify the doctor. If you cant handle it, Ill, personally, send you back.
I am all right. I am well. You do not need to worry, Your Majesty. Nier shook her head, and then sat down to the side before gently stroking her tummy. The Empress sat down next to her and stroked Niers hand with an affectionate smile. She asked, You just looked in the Princes direction, didnt you? Whats wrong? Do you miss him?
Uhm Tonight is a full-moon night so I am slightly worried for him
Itll be all right. Luna is with him. I dont like that elf, but she can help him on full-moon nights.
Elizabeth stroked Niers head, and then gave her a kiss on her forehead. In an affectionate tone, she said, I am most worried about you right now, Nier. You are pregnant with my sons child, who is also my grandchild. I never experienced raising a child. Im eagerly waiting for the day your child is born. You must let have a good look when your child is born.
Uhm, but I will definitely give birth later than that woman by a bit.
That doesnt matter. I dont care about that sort of stuff. I believe my son wont mind either. Take care of yourself, Nier. I rember you ca with for the last hunting event, right? You ca as my bodyguard that ti, though. This ti youre here as a mber of the royal family. How do you feel?
Nier shyly smiled. She then looked at Her Majesty and replied, I am very grateful to you for giving an opportunity to be by His Majestys side. Honestly, I do not feel a certain way about money or status As a matter of fact, I do not know what to buy nor do I know how my life will be different. Instead, of saying that I am a mber of the royal family, I consider myself His Majestys wife
That makes sense. You were a Valkyrie in the past, after all. Elizabeth gave her a pat on her shoulder then sighed and looked outside. She lanted, Perhaps it was wrong for to refuse to let you be with my son back then. You wouldnt have had to go through that if I wasnt selfish and prejudiced against you and had let you be with my son.
It does not matter, Your Majesty. I never felt I was suffering. After all, that was also the most important phase His Majesty and I had to go through to be together. If His Majesty did not put his life on the line to rescue that ti, I would not be aware of His Majestys love for . It was precisely because I saw His Majestys expression that I had the courage to confess my feelings.
Hehe, Im surprised to hear that my fearless Nier was once afraid. Love can truly make one happy. I experienced it back then and understand that heart throbbing feeling. I dared to fight with anyone back then, but didnt even dare to give my husband a biscuit. Elizabeth chuckled softly as she recalled her mories. She then stood up, Its getting late now. I wont torture your ears with my old stories. Nier, rest up early. My son is definitely safest in the royal capital so you dont need to worry.
Uhm, goodnight Your Majesty.
Goodnight.
Nier didnt know why the Empress shared her past with her. The Empress had always kept a lid on her past. She never once brought up her past, nor did she ever talk about her and Inard, but she took the initiative to share it this ti. Maybe it was because Elizabeth had that feeling like she was in love again.
===============
Freya looked at the beauties in front of her, frowned and asked, Did you find out anything?
She doesnt actually think well of the won, probably because they reminded her of her past. Wherever avoidable, she never wanted to recall her past. While it wasnt as dark as Lunas, it wasnt a happy mory, thats for sure.
She was very reluctant to know these people, but it was her Onii-samas order so she had to complete the task.
This is all we have found out.
The woman handed Freya a bag. Freya opened it. Inside were all random things that gave her a headache. The won were uneducated, and they were idiots. Freya assud that there wasnt anything useful. Ninety percent of the items were likely to be pointless things.
Freya took the items out one by one. They were all random things. Though there was a docunt, it was a pointless docunt. Everything else was chest crests and the sort. Other than being able to prove their identities, they were otherwise useless items. There were even gold coins you could find anywhere. The items were truly useless.
Freya soon realised how foolish her idea was. If the Shadow Squad or the monarchs spies were the ones who investigated it, theyd have sothing to work with. Unfortunately, trusting these won, who probably dont know how to read, was futile. The bag wasnt filled with ninety percent trash. One-hundred percent of the contents were trash.
Freya passed back the bag. She let out a heavy sigh, The things you found are completely useless. Three days and you didnt find a single thing worth anything. You didnt even manage to get anything out of them. I need to report back today. Are you expecting to return empty handed?
Actually, we still have one more thing
One of the won hesitated for a mont. She then took out an item from the pouch that she always had on her. It was a small golden box. She hesitated for a mont and explained, I was actually planning to sell this, so if you are willing to offer a better price, Ill give it to you.
Freya hesitated for a mont. Her expression suddenly changed when she saw the small box. There was a wing print on the box.
Thats the Valkyries small box. A Valkyries small box would never be found outside, so why was it with those vassal states?!
Deal! Ill buy it from you at three-tis the price, but you must give the box right now!!
Freya placed her wallet into the womans hands and quickly took the box to open it. The powder inside suddenly burst into the air. Before Freya could react, her legs went limp, knocking her out on the ground.
Dont bla us. They offered us a higher price
The won looked at Freya, who was lying on the ground. They giggled amongst each other before searching her to take all of her valuables. They then stripped her, dragged over to dump her in a bin and finally put the lid on.
=========
I looked at the red sun going down. I placed my cup down and said, It seems that Freya hasnt returned.
It will be all right. Miss Freya will be fine. Your Majesty, it is night ti now so you should return to your room first.
Uhm, all right. I nodded then stood up. My body was aching. I walked to my room. I looked at Alice by the door and thanked her, Thank you, Alice.
You need not thank . It is my duty.
