"Feeling good?"
"...Hehe."
Herbert lowered his head, gently patting the Centaur lady's crown, signaling her to let go and get up.
"Get up, don't keep on acting spoiled."
Under Sofia's persistent and devout pursuit of knowledge, Herbert reluctantly agreed to her request—to teach her how to serve, and he demonstrated it personally.
Indeed, Herbert personally showed what a lap pillow was, letting her rest her head on his lap.
"...Oh."
Reminded, Sofia hazily opened her eyes, sowhat perplexed.
She didn't rise imdiately, instead remaining in the previous position, lazily resting on Herbert's lap, almost falling asleep.
"Ah, ha..."
Although a Spirit Body doesn't need sleep, she couldn't help but let out a massive yawn at this mont.
She felt a bit sleepy.
This was truly rare.
A bit of sleepiness was nothing to a Legendary Heroic Spirit; they could fight tirelessly to the last mont.
However, this slight drowsiness quickly faded, her spirit suddenly beca full.
As if having been injected with... chicken blood!
After recovering for a while, Sofia reluctantly got up from Herbert's lap but did not fully stand.
Instead, she directly knelt down before Herbert again, bowed her head, and earnestly said:
"I already know what to do!"
"Thank you for your guidance! Next ti, let do it!"
She could vaguely sense that after being soothed by her lord, a subtle change happened in her spirit!
Though she didn't yet understand what this change ant, it was undoubtedly Herbert's generous gift to her.
"Hehe, are you satisfied?"
"Yes!"
Herbert opened his eyes, smiling and nodding at her.
"Then it's fine, that's good."
While giving Sofia the lap pillow, although he was soothing her, he himself rarely entered into a daze.
In soothing others, he also soothed himself.
Especially the special touch of a Spirit Body's surface, different from other Monster Girls' skin, was a rare and novel experience.
Herbert raised his hand to stroke the Centaur lady's ponytail, encouragingly smiled and said, "This ti was just a try, try more in the future."
Though rely having completed the initial step, he already began anticipating future progress.
In every aspect, this was a promising talent, expecting future developnt.
"Yes! I will definitely work hard henceforth!"
Encouraged, Sofia felt even more delighted, believing that her efforts were recognized.
Go, Sofia!
You must make Lord Herbert satisfied!
With no understanding of the true aning of "servitude," Sofia didn't find the current atmosphere awkward or shy, quickly adjusting her emotions and returning to the main topic.
"My lord, how do you intend to summon other heroic spirits?"
She fully accepted the arrangent to increase the number of Heroic Spirits and began wholeheartedly advising Herbert.
"Do you plan to directly recruit those guys?"
Joanna and Miser were unclear about the source of Heroic Spirits and wondered how Herbert would gather more.
But Sofia knew, deep within the Misty Mountains, there were many Heroic Spirits like her.
Not to ntion those actively wandering Heroic Spirits on the road into the depths of Misty Mountains.
They are lost lambs needing guidance from the lord.
Their strength is not considerable; the strongest are at most similar to her, even inferior.
"My lord! Please allow to convey your will and let them follow you!"
Sofia volunteered but was declined by Herbert waving his hand.
"Don't rush, I know you're eager, but let's not hurry."
Herbert gently patted Sofia's head, leisurely saying: "This ti I'm not summoning that group. While they can be directly recruited, they require more effort to control."
If intending to recruit those wandering Heroic Spirits, Herbert could have done so from the start, without waiting until now.
Although usable directly, they still possess will and pose certain backlash risks, unfavorable for control.
What Herbert needs now is a completely pure new slate, allowing him free reign—like Sofia.
Compared to imdiate combat power, he needs loyalty more now.
Loyalty! Loyalty!
To make it through, one must at least hold to loyalty while being talkative and humorous.
["So, are those guys just left unattended?"]
Miss Xie Shen suddenly interjected: ["You're so heartless! That's too excessive!"]
Herbert: ?
Am I heartless?
Herbert couldn't help but roll his eyes, internally retorting: "Hmm? Adults talking, kids shouldn't interrupt."
Nenasha: ?
["...Huh?"]
Miss Xie Shen was dumbfounded.
Never did she expect such a reply.
Kids?
? Myself?
"Yes, talking about you, stop interrupting."
["...Fine, you win."]
Nenasha conceded.
She expressed her respect for Herbert's shalessness.
At most, I might bend the truth a bit.
You, you don't even touch facts!
You're the real deal! (Thumbs up)
"Humph, if anyone must interrupt, it has to be ."
Herbert proudly stated: "I only interrupt others, they don't interrupt ."
