"Hmm?"
Eliza was taken aback for a mont, then suspiciously scrutinized Herbert, scoffing in disbelief, "I don’t believe you. You’re definitely lying to again."
"No, I’m really not this ti."
Herbert was helpless, why is it that when he tells the truth, no one believes him?
Miss Xie Shen, who was watching the drama, also didn’t drop the ball and tily offered a helping hand.
["Tsk tsk tsk, my dear ally, you’re really pitiful now. You finally told the truth once, but the other party doesn’t believe you~"]
["So~ pitiful~"]
Tsk!
Herbert rolled his eyes internally, feeling sowhat speechless.
Yes, what he just said was indeed the truth.
Compared to the mysterious and uncontrollable factor Svanni, Herbert actually preferred to trust Eliza, whose personality he had figured out.
At the very least, he knew how to slowly manipulate her with words... ahem, no, he knew how to move her with sincerity.
He’s definitely not doing anything bad, oh!
Herbert shook his head, his expression turned serious, and he looked earnestly into Eliza’s blood-red eyes, holding her hand under the table.
!!?
Eliza instinctively wanted to shy away, but Herbert held her tightly, feeling the warmth from his palm.
Under that warmth, which she hadn’t felt for years, Eliza hesitated, gradually giving up resistance and letting him hold her delicate hand.
This...
Feeling that Eliza was no longer resisting, Herbert gained more confidence and gently said, "Because I can entrust all safety into your hands."
Unlike when he previously went out alone with Valentina and Fremay, the strategy progress with the two Monster Girls out now wasn’t particularly high.
They had physical control but hadn’t completely won over their hearts.
Such Monster Girls actually pose a certain danger and might retaliate anyti.
Herbert took the risk of bringing them both out to secretly use them to balance each other.
If Eliza went berserk, he would use Svanni to suppress her, and vice versa.
This is the so-called "using barbarian against barbarian," hmm... "using aunt against aunt"?
"Do you really... trust more?" Eliza looked into Herbert’s earnest eyes and gradually beca dazed.
Initially, there was a slight suspicion, subconsciously feeling that Herbert was lying again.
But soon, she felt Herbert’s sincere emotions and believed in his claim.
Hmm... he really isn’t lying to this ti.
He truly trusts more.
"Ha ha, you’re lucky you didn’t... hmm!!?"
Eliza was smugly expressing her thoughts when she suddenly felt sothing strange.
The hand that was transmitting warmth was now quietly moving to a rather dangerous place!
The Vampire Lady was instantly alert!!!
Hmm!!?
Eliza reacted swiftly, before Herbert could act, reached under the table, and grabbed his wrist.
"You!?"
Wait!
Eliza widened her eyes, nervously looking at Herbert, question marks all over her eyes.
Wait a minute, what are you doing?
According to the previous developnt, aren’t we supposed to deepen our relationship now?!
Not deepen like this!
This isn’t right!!?
"Shh, quiet."
Herbert’s expression remained unchanged, showing no signs of abnormality, smilingly winking at her, and whispered, "My dear Lady Eliza, just be good and listen."
"After all, you don’t want to be found out by others, right?"
"Found out that we’re holding hands under the table in front of everyone."
"You... hmm?" Eliza blinked blankly.
Holding hands?
Herbert smiled, silently holding Eliza’s small hand, gently squeezing it, and teasingly said, "Though I don’t know what you thought I was going to do, I’ve decided to be understanding and not ask."
"You!!?"
Eliza: Hmm!??
Oh no!
Tricked by him again!
