Ill go with you, stated Nier.
I turned around to look at Nier, who was behind . I hesitated for a mont before replying, Nier, Ill be fine on my own. This is my own business. I dont know what Ill have to go through, and I dont know what Ill have to face. I dont even know what I should go do, so its pointless for you to follow .
Lucia surrendered on her own accord in the contest. She couldnt physically match Nier, after all. Nier didnt go too crazy, however. Instead, she wasnt willing to go for round two. She just wanted to hug tightly. She didnt kick Lucia out, either, so the two woke up in each others embrace just as in the Imperial Palace of Duargana, except soone else replaced Mommy Vyvyans position.
I told Nier about my body and my uncertain future. She was very calm about it as though she had predicted the possibility a long ti ago. She didnt cry or make a scene. She rely tightened her arms around and breathed gently. After she woke up, and I told her I was going to search for a way to live, she stood behind and declared, Im still going with you!!
Nier quickly walked up to and grabbed hold of my hand. In an anxious, yet resolute, voice, she continued, Youre my husband and my Prince. Im your wife and your bodyguard. Your life is currently at risk, so its a given that I stay by your side to protect you. I dont want to leave you no matter where you go or what we have to face. I want to be by your side, Your Majesty, Troy, Dear I dont want to experience this again. I dont want to search for you in tears again. Ive been living in nightmares these last few days that Ive been without you. I dont know what I should do. To you, Im Nier, but to , youre my entire world, Dear!
Nier held my hand, and suppressed her hoarse voice and tears with her determined voice. I hugged her. I stroked her long black hair behind her. She gently trembled in my arms. She bit down on her lip to hold back her tears. I whispered over her shoulder, The sa applies for , Nier. Youre an irreplaceable part of my world, as well. Im very sorry about leaving without a word these last few days, Nier. I really wanted to be by your sides. I dreamt of you all every night when I was out there. I dont want to separate from you again, not even for a second
Then
Thats precisely why I must leave alone. I cut Nier off and explained, Nier, I honestly dont know what exactly will happen. I want to live on for you all, but I dont know what I must do, nor do I know what exactly Ill have to face. Therefore, you cant accompany . What are we going to do if sothing happens to you? Im supposed to be a dying man, so its no big deal if I fall, but not you.
Im your bodyguard; I must protect you if you are in danger.
Youre not just my bodyguard. Youre also Daisys mom.
I cupped Niers face in my hands. I looked at her slightly emotional and anxious face. Nier pressed her hands on mine. I felt her shaky unease and despair. Nier looked awe-inspiring and invincible when she held a sword. When she held my hand, she seed lost as an ordinary girl.
Daisy is pitiful, Nier. When you left to search for , she basically had no mom or dad. Shes still a kid. She needs her parents with her right now, but neither of us was there. Lucia may be able to look after her and have the company of Vera and Nona, but its not the sa. Nier, Daisy is still young. She needs her parents to take care of her. I fail as a father, so you must be an excellent mom. You should know that a child cant be without her mother, right? You should be aware of how pitiful a child without parents is.
Niers gaze changed. Despair surfaced in her anxious and tense eyes. I didnt know if she regretted leaving her child behind without any hesitation to search for . If it wasnt for Lucia, who wouldve taken care of Daisy? Niers mother never bothered with her and always wanted to get rid of her. Nier hated her mother to the very core. That was also why she absolutely detested her female gender. I didnt know if shed feel guilty and agony as a result of what I said, for she beca exactly what she despised most.
Sorry Your Majesty
I mustve hit where it hurt most. Nier instantly lost control of her tears as they coursed down her face. Her tears were filled with panic and self-loathing for her mistake. She hated her mother most for the way that she treated her, yet she, too, abandoned her child without any hesitation and left. Daisy was in the sa position she was in back then. Fortunately, Daisy still had lots of others around her that loved her.
You shouldnt be apologising to , Nier. You should be apologising to Daisy. Daisy would surely be very happy to see you now. Nier, your entire world shouldnt consist of , alone. It should also include our cutest daughter. You dont need to co with . Ill be sure to return to your side for your sake and our daughters sake. You just need to wait for . Didnt I co back this ti?
Nier gradually lowered her head and sobbed. I gently caressed her hair. I then pulled her into my arms and stopped talking. I figured it was enough to calm her down. She tightly gripped onto my clothes and buried her head on my chest, which she used to wipe her tears. She ground her teeth so hard that I could hear it. She did so, because of her agony and regret. She bit the clothing material in front of her with bitterness. I tightly hugged her and waited for her to calm down.
A mont later, Nier raised her head filled with tears. Due to her tears, her eyes didnt look violent and bloody as usual. She held my hand tightly: Dear please please make sure to return We need you. I need you. Daisy also needs you Youre right. Daisy needs to family a complete family. Ive been through that, so I dont want her to suffer the sa misery Still, Daisy must definitely have a qualified father, as well!
I know. Ill do my best. Ill give it everything I have this ti. Ill do my best to live for your sakes, as youre the people I love most.
I wanted to live on for Mommy Elizabeths sake, too. I was too foolish in the past. I mustve deeply hurt Mommy Vyvyan, but I didnt have ti to go back to see her. I was confident shed forgive once she saw I had undergone a full recovery, nevertheless
I held Niers hand back. With a smile, I said, Lets go. Lets go see Daisy. Daisy hasnt seen the two of us for days. She should be happy to see us, I said with a smile and her hand in mine. Nier wiped her tears. I reached out to touch her wet eyelashes. I looked at her beautiful pear-shaped face that had tears on it and quietly laughed: Nier, right now, youre different to how you were when I first t you back then. I never saw you cry when I was at Hilles City.
NIer blushed then turned her head away. She sounded as though she was sowhat pleading when she said, Dear at the ti I admit I did pretty poorly At the ti, I felt that youd steal Her Majesty from , and I also felt that you were very weak and very powerless I was still ignorant back then
With a firm hold on her hand, I responded, Its fine, Nier. I liked you back then, too. I really liked you back then. You dont need to feel apologetic about it. You were you; that was also Nier, the Nier I deeply love. You were also very charming back then. The heroic and suave way you wield your sword is srising. I still frequently dream of you in your white uniform, for the beauty of my dreams is right here next to . Nier, I will never forget the scene of when you first welcod . That scene lit up my entire month.
Nier turned back to look at my sincere gaze. Surprisingly, she blushed, If you can return this ti, I will definitely welco you as I did in the past! Ill welco you at the Imperial City entrance. Ill welco you ho, but this ti itll be back to our own ho.
Mm, thats right. Back to our ho!
I held Niers hand tighter than ever. Her hand wasnt delicate and smooth, since she had lots of calluses and bumps from her training and prolonged sword wielding. Despite that, her hands were still very warm. We went over to Daisys crib and watched her sleep. Nier picked Daisy up and gave her a gentle kiss on her face. Nier looked at Daisys face that was almost identical to her own. Nier had guilt and anguish written all over her eyes. Perhaps she was suffering even more, since it reminded her of her own past.
Nier kissed her face again and sorrowfully murmured, Sorry Daisy Sorry Mommy was wrong Mommy was wrong Mommy will never leave you My dear child My most beloved child Youre His Majestys daughter and my most beloved child Mommy will take care of you by your side and protect you forever Daisy I hope you can live a life of bliss and gentleness I hope you dont live a life like mine Your father will be back. Im absolutely positive that he will be back!
Youre right. I will be back. I definitely will be back, I told myself.
