Why function doesn't return after else statement in nested functions?

def test1():
    def test2():
        if False:
            return 1
        else: return 2
    test2()

I don't know why, but this function isn't returning the 2 it should return. But when we do that:

def test1():
    def test2():
        if False:
            return 1
        else: print(2)
    test2()

It prints the 2 on the screen. Why this is happening?

ps: I know we don't need this else to return 2 if the if condition is false. But I'm curious because if we use this test2 as not being a nested function, it returns 2 without a problem.
