"Why are you staying silent?"
Under Joanna’s anxious gaze, Herbert kept probing, while Yunier remained silent.
"Oh, you don’t like being called a lady? That’s my faux pas then."
"Miss, why do you seem so unhappy? Did I make you uncomfortable?"
Herbert smiled playfully at the silent Yunier, amusent in his expression.
He chuckled softly, then turned to the other priests with a gentle smile.
"It’s not just this lady, if any of you feel uncomfortable, please don’t hold back."
"Just tell directly, I’ll do my best to and and won’t let you suffer any grievances."
Herbert passionately promised, speaking words of unbounded assurance.
re verbal promises lack much credibility, hardly anyone would believe them.
However, due to his looks and previous aura, Herbert’s credibility among these priests was quite high.
They surprisingly believed in his promise; everyone’s face showed a smile and appeared much more relaxed.
Feeling the shift in atmosphere, Herbert’s lips curled slightly, ready to wield his Sea King power—until the skin on his back was pinched and twisted.
"Hmph."
The rmaid lady grunted discontentedly.
Fremay, expressing her displeasure, tightened her tail around Herbert’s waist.
That’s enough now!
Be mindful of others!
I’m still here watching!
She didn’t care if Herbert had other partners, but they shouldn’t flaunt in front of her!
Don’t be so bold!
"Haha."
Herbert chuckled while shaking his head, lightly patting the waist-bound fish tail, feeling quite sentintal.
That’s it?
That alone is too much?
Are you already overwheld?
Your resolve is lacking!
Keep practicing, sister.
Look, Nenasha isn’t saying anything!
She’s seen far more than you!
What she’s seen is far more sensational!
She didn’t react defensively, so why are you so protective?
"Hmm?"
A particular Harmonious God, initially enjoying the spectacle, suddenly felt uncomfortable, feeling gravely offended again.
"I feel like you’re thinking so rude things again."
Wait, again?
Why did I say "again"?
"No, definitely not! That must be your illusion."
Herbert flatly denied, even so hurt in his rebuttal: "Look, are you sensitive again lately? Don’t always doubt your dear ally."
Whether the other believes it or not.
He wholeheartedly believed it first!
Before deceiving others, one must first deceive oneself.
Nenasha was made hesitant by his attitude, and after a brief pause humd: "...Hm, whether you thought it, you know yourself!"
Know? Haha.
I’m certainly too aware.
But can I tell you the truth?
Herbert’s lips curled up as he continued to exchange pleasantries with the few priests:
"Trust , during your ti in the Elda Territory, feel free to treat this place as your ho!"
"I definitely won’t let you down."
He calmly and adeptly endeavored to win over the priests, slowly breaking down their psychological defenses.
On the other side, Joanna kept nervously rubbing her hands, her gaze shifting between Herbert and Yunier.
Herbert... what does he an now?
Did he intentionally bring it up after discovering Yunier’s true identity?
Yet, if that’s the case, why did he stop paying attention after bringing it up?
Raised high, then gently set down...
Suddenly, a possible idea flashed in Joanna’s mind, her eyes lit up.
Could it be!
Herbert is showing his stance?
The more she thought about it, the more it seed that way.
Joanna didn’t understand matters on the Divine Spirit level, but she believed these two figures had a way of recognizing each other.
With that thought, things beca clear.
In other words, Herbert’s earlier actions were actually indicating he discovered the identity of the Cold Winter Goddess but had no intention of revealing it!
Don’t hide, I have found you.
However, as long as you behave, I won’t deliberately expose your identity.
Everyone minds their own business and stays harmonious.
And since the Cold Winter Goddess remained silent, it was evident she acquiesced to the situation, reaching so tacit understanding between two great beings.
"...Gulp."
After realizing this, Joanna couldn’t help but swallow, feeling a shiver down her spine.
Isn’t it terrifying?
Yes, it’s very terrifying!
Is this the level of divine beings’ strategy?
Several moves exchanged silently, yet we re mortals didn’t notice anything.
Look at those sisters who are bewitched!
Unaware of the impending crisis, completely bewitched by Herbert’s words!
Only due to my exceptional intelligence and always being alert did I glimpse a bit of it.
"..."
And after figuring all of this out, Joanna fell silent again, shaking her head privately.
Even knowing it, what’s the use?
I’m just a weak priest without the qualifications to interfere with the godly.
Once she understood this, she relaxed again.
Forget it!
Their overt or covert struggles have nothing to do with .
As the priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess, just accomplish her task and fulfill my duties.
Don’t ddle in anything else.
