In the end, she pulled her neck back, raised her eyes slightly, and tentatively asked Herbert, "Um... do you still need to go with you?"
Miss Hungry Dragon rarely showed such obedience.
She didn't say she wouldn't go.
If Herbert needed Valentina to accompany him, she would risk everything to go along and wouldn't hesitate to attack the Sun Pope when necessary.
She did not fear death.
Not in the past, not now, and not in the future.
If there was anything that could worry her, it would probably be the possibility of "being separated from Herbert."
But, fear or not, she still didn't want to linger in front of such terrifying existences.
It's not fear!
It's, uh, well... unease, yes, discomfort!
It's not necessary, so there's no need to make herself so uncomfortable.
Herbert looked at Valentina's obedient manner and couldn't help but laugh, raising his hand to rub her head.
"Hehe, you don't need to co with , there won't be any danger. You just stay here and keep watch over the place."
"Mhm, mhm!" Valentina sighed with relief, nodding repeatedly.
Great.
Hooray!
"Just make sure not to run around before I co back, and help protect everyone, okay?"
"Rest assured! I definitely won't run around!" Valentina patted her chest, loudly ensuring with a serious expression.
"I definitely, definitely won't run around! No one will leave! I will... um!!?"
As Valentina was clamoring, the remaining dry yoghurt in the pot was swiftly stuffed into her mouth by Herbert.
Herbert carefully adhered it perfectly to the roof of her mouth, seamlessly.
"Alright, you've said enough, no need to say more."
"Mmph mph!"
Valentina rolled her eyes at Herbert in dissatisfaction, but she wasn't angry. She happily began chewing, chewing, chewing...
After all, this dry yoghurt was tough to eat, but its taste was right up her alley.
"Heh."
Miss Devil snorted directly when Herbert looked her way, and actively spoke, "I have no issues, go wherever you want."
Kreti rudely pointed out—it has nothing to do with !
Since being forcibly brought to this place that made Kreti uncomfortable everywhere, she had always been in this huffy Thorny-backed Dragon state towards Herbert.
And Herbert, looking at her impotent and furious deanor, was not angry at all, but instead showed a delighted smile.
"Hehe."
Seeing Kreti's bristling look cheered up his sowhat anxious mood, and he took a deep, satisfied breath.
Exactly, exactly.
This is the attitude, this is the expression.
I just want to see you looking at like you can't stand but can't do anything about it~
Herbert's beaming expression made Kreti's heart sink—What's wrong with this guy again?
Sure enough.
Just as Kreti sensed the crisis, Herbert spoke.
"I didn't plan to ask if you had any problems. I ant to say, why don't you co along with ?"
Herbert gave a playful wink to Miss Devil, whose expression was gradually turning dazed, "I think his holiness wouldn't mind having one more person to chat with."
Co on!
Let's have fun together!
Co face the old man in the Holy Light with ~
"Huh???"
Just staying in the Holy City of Radiance was hard enough, and facing the Saint... that would be worse than death!
"I don't want to!"
But just as Kreti was about to flee, she suddenly noticed the smile at the corner of Herbert's mouth.
!!?
Wait, this guy is tricking !
"You're tricking !!?"
"Yes indeed."
Herbert admitted imdiately, nodding, leisurely saying, "After all, I'm no Demon, how could I really do such a terribly excessive thing~"
Mr. Herbert has always been kind-hearted, never crossing the line from words into actions.
"...Tch!"
Kreti frowned tightly, slowly asking, "Are you mocking ? Looking down on ?"
"If you insist on thinking that way... then yes, I'm mocking you, my timid Miss Devil, haha!" Herbert winked at her teasingly.
Then, waving to Valentina and the others, he turned and left laughing, pushing open the door and nodding to the patiently waiting Evelyn.
"Let's go."
Kreti: !!?
"Wait!"
Miss Devil, feeling rattled, dashed to the door, shouting to Herbert, "Co back! Explain yourself! How am I timid?"
"Co back here!"
Hearing her, Herbert paused, turned his head, and smiled at the exasperated Miss Devil, "Should I really co back?"
His answer was the sudden slam of the door.
Bam!
Behind the door, Miss Devil clenched her teeth, bracing the door with her shoulder.
Damn it!
You, Paladin, are so wicked!
Why aren't you playing by the rules!!?
...
...
"We're here."
After walking quietly for so ti, Evelyn, who was leading in front, finally stopped.
She halted in front of an ordinary-looking cabin, turned back, and softly asked Herbert, "His Holiness is just ahead. You can go in directly. Do you need any more preparation?"
Herbert shook his head, casually stepped forward, easily crossing past Evelyn, and nodded in thanks to her.
"No need. Thank you for guiding the way."
Boom boom.
He gently knocked, then pushed open the wooden door. As the wood creaked, he softly said, "I've been ready for this for a long ti."
Facing a Saint who was almost like a deity was a big deal for anyone, making it hard to keep a calm heart.
