"Of course I figured it out, I’m not an idiot." Herbert huffed sarcastically.
"So, are you angry?" Svanni chuckled lightly.
"Yeah, I’m really angry, feels like you’ve been playing like Eliza does."
"Eliza? You don’t need anything complex with her."
"Oh, you’re right."
...
In the distance, Eliza, who was about to greet Teresa, sneezed, blinking in confusion.
Huh?
Why did I sneeze?
"Um, Lady Eliza?"
The innocent girl across from Eliza, who got sneezed on, looked aggrieved, her mouth pursed.
"Oh, sorry, I didn’t an to!" Eliza rushed forward, trying to wipe her off.
As a result, she didn’t watch her step and accidentally stepped on the tip of Teresa’s snake tail.
"Hiss!"
"Oh no! I’m so sorry!"
...
anwhile, Herbert and Svanni were whispering behind the absent Vampire lady, exchanged glances, and burst into laughter.
"Haha, you’re her good sister, aren’t you? How can you say such things?"
"Precisely because we’re good sisters that this evaluation can only be shared with you."
Svanni smiled softly, elegantly rose, and then bent down slightly, offering Herbert a respectful salute:
"I, Svanni Moore, the last descendant of the Moore Clan’s bloodline, current matriarch, extend my highest regard to you."
"As I ntioned before, I intend to pursue you now."
Herbert had already accepted this, unable to refuse, nor did he have any particular reason to reject.
He habitually asked her, driven by curiosity: "Speaking of which, in pursuing , do you want to help you with anything?"
Herbert rely asked casually, not expecting Svanni to respond, yet she ca prepared with an answer.
"Well, if possible, I hope you can help bear enough offspring to revive the Moore Clan."
?
Herbert froze for a mont, then his mind was filled with question marks.
"You say, ’enough’? No, wait a minute... do you intend to rebuild the Moore Clan?"
Compared to the abstract notion before, Herbert was surprised by Svanni’s intention.
"I really didn’t anticipate that you’d have such feelings for this clan."
This truly astonished Herbert.
But Svanni shook her head, denying his guess, explaining:
"No, you’re right, I’ve never liked this traitor’s bloodline, feel genuine disdain for this destiny of betrayal."
"Then what’s your purpose?" Herbert was even more baffled.
If you don’t like it, why do this... are you a fool?
Hmm, that’s not correct, it’s the opposite.
A fool does things because they like it.
After all, if one didn’t like it, who would willingly act like a fool?
Svanni didn’t notice Herbert’s thoughts, turned to look toward the city’s ruins, and softly said, "I don’t like it, but Stella did."
"She always cherished the Moore Clan, was proud of it, wanted to beco the matriarch... though she eventually achieved that, only to personally bury it."
"In the end, her soul conveyed to one thing — she regretted, genuinely repented destroying the clan."
Herbert raised an eyebrow, asked: "So, you want to make ands for her regrets?"
Honestly speaking, Svanni’s reason seed plausible, but he didn’t think it was aningful.
Once loved ones are gone, they are gone; what’s owed during life can’t be repaid after death.
Moreover, between the sisters, it’s hard to say who owes whom.
Yet Svanni shook her head, denied: "No, I’m not doing this for Stella; she’s deceased, her soul returned to the Sea of Chaos, I understand this better than anyone."
She’s a rational Legendary Mage, not a child who only knows how to weep, realizing her half-sister is gone.
"Please trust , everything I do is for myself."
"I want to walk a diatrically opposite path, proving Stella’s idea was wrong."
Svanni earnestly gazed into Herbert’s eyes, resolutely said: "What I want to establish is a new Moore Clan."
"A clan no longer hiding in dark and dreary corners, able to live under the sunlight."
"Since Surface Elves ca from the surface to the underground, the Dark Elf can return from the depths to the surface."
"Once, the Moore Clan had no choice, but now I want it to walk in the light."
She softly said to the one who personally extinguished the Evil God’s plot and completely destroyed the Moore Clan: "Since it was destroyed under the sun, let it be reborn in the sunlight."
The embodint of the blazing sun destroyed everything, then let it restart under the sun’s radiance.
"A new Moore Clan? Hmm..."
Feeling Svanni’s emotions, Herbert silently nodded: "If that’s the case, I won’t stand in your way, but be prepared, you’ll need to put in a lot of effort."
"For instance, first, you’ll need to change the clan motto."
[The bloodline of traitors never ends.]
As a Paladin, Herbert could not allow such a motto to continue.
Must cease operations for restructuring!
Otherwise, I will conduct inspections! Every day, inspections!
"Certainly, ’traitor’ has already entered history, never to ascend the historical stage again."
Svanni was prepared, asked: "Contrary to betrayal, the new Moore Clan will always be loyal."
