"Um?"
Herbert was a little confused.
He can understand that he likes the shape of the accessories, but why does he like an accessory that makes a sound
"Herbert, have you forgotten my singing?"
"In the past, only those who heard my singing were affected, but what about the future? What if the curse becomes stronger in the future? What if it reaches the point where anyone who hears my voice will be affected?"
"I don't wish to hurt anyone, especially those close to you."
"When there are outsiders around, I will keep my mouth shut and not make any sound."
There was no sadness in her voice, as if she was just talking about something very ordinary.
“So I needed something that could make a sound.”
"When I can't speak, as long as it rings, you will know that I am already by your side."
Herbert frowned in silence.
He didn't want Freme to be so pessimistic, and her ability was definitely not a curse.
But now, he really had no way to completely solve this problem for her.
At least if he relies on himself, there is no way to guarantee that there will be no accidents.
"Nenasha...
[“Don’t worry, I know what you want to ask.”]
The God of Harmony whispered softly in his ear: [“There is a way. It can be solved. Trust me.”]
After receiving an affirmative answer, Herbert nodded slightly.
""..Thanks."
[“Haha, between you and me, no need to thank me.”]
[“Even if it’s for her, for them… You don’t have to thank me.”]
Nenasha smiled softly, and then continued to remain silent.
"Um.
After a moment of silence, Herbert silently expressed his gratitude to Nenasha in his heart.
He looked up at Freme and nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, it will be resolved sooner or later."
I'll help you--... .No, we'll help you out.
As for this unfounded promise, Freme still chose to believe it and nodded with a smile.
"Well, I believe you."
"Um."
Herbert pressed the ring and closed his eyes. He thought of an ornament that would meet Freme's needs.
As Yu followed his thoughts, the ring emitted a white light and instantly changed its original appearance, turning into an earring like a wind chime.
Herbert gently put the earrings on Freme and nodded with satisfaction.
“It’s beautiful.”
"Haha, thank you."
Freme raised her hand and gently fiddled with the silver wind chime earrings, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.
She had thought Herbert would get her a whistle.
This is much better looking than a whistle.
Herbert smiled at her satisfied look and said softly, "Thank you for waiting for me."
Thank you for being willing to be my family.
Freme looked at Herbert's serious expression and laughed, and suddenly a layer of mist flashed over her body.
She hid her fishtail, put on a gorgeous long dress, activated her alchemical legs, and saluted Herbert gently like an elegant noble girl.
"Thank you for accepting me, too."
To other humans, they are a dangerous alien race and a heretic who needs to be purified.
Although Herbert ignored this, she would not forget it completely.
The relationship between him and me is an absolute taboo in the eyes of others.
This is true not only for humans, but also for sirens.
As a paladin, it must not be easy for Herbert to overcome the taboos and combine with himself.
She could guess how much risk he took and how much suffering he endured behind the scenes.
This was also the reason why she was so moved when she knew that Herbert was going to propose to her.
"Oh, I forgot to ask you before."
"Hmm? What's up?"
At this time, Freme suddenly thought of something that she had been concerned about for a long time, and asked casually:
Between you...
!!!
Here it comes.
Here comes the real point!
"Between Valentina and I—"
Herbert's spirit suddenly shook, and he took a deep breath. He was about to explain when he found that Freme nodded slightly.
"So her name is Valentina. You guys seem to be very close to each other by calling her by her name."
At this moment, the legendary siren revealed her experience gained from living for hundreds of years.
"After I mentioned him, your heartbeat became much faster, which proves that your relationship is probably not ordinary close. I understand..
Herbert blinked and suddenly realized the difference in the situation.
It's broken.
Unlike Valentina, who only relies on her intuition to solve problems, this one is a princess who has received a serious royal education.
There is a huge difference in IQ between the two and they cannot be treated in the same way.
Not easy to cheat!
"Well, listen to me."
Herbert tried to remedy the situation in a panic, but was interrupted by Freme's wave of her hand.
"No, you don't have to explain anything, and I don't intend to ask any more questions."
"that-.."
Herbert hesitated how to explain.
How do I say this
"Herbert, I just want to ask you one question."
Freyme touched the earring gently and asked, "Does she have this too?"
"..—.Ahem."
Herbert was silent for a moment, knowing that he could not hide it, and that this day would come sooner or later.
Fleme's expression was not as angry or jealous as Herbert had imagined, and could even be described as calm.
She just said calmly: "We'll talk about other things when I have a chance to meet her."
Among the Sirens, females are much stronger than males in all aspects, and it is also a matriarchal society.
Freme's mother also had multiple partners, so she didn't have much objection to the fact that Herbert and Valentina were unclear.
And the key is actually just as she said.
She had never met Valentina and didn't even know what kind of person she was. There was really no need to show jealousy at this time.
Even if I really want to compete with Valentina, I have to make sure of her attitude.
Otherwise, she would appear to be extremely jealous.
After raising the matter high and then gently putting it down, Freyme smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about that. I'm not angry."
She hugged Herbert and whispered, "I will forgive you as long as you treat me the same way you treated her."
"She's going outside with you, and I want to go too."
"You must keep your promise and take me away from here."
After the relationship was completely confirmed, she was no longer satisfied to stay here forever.
It's not bad, but it's not great at all.
She hoped to have the opportunity to stay with Herbert forever, instead of waiting for his return here like a resentful woman.
Especially don't let that Valentina stay around him all the time.
Instead, she could accompany Herbert away from here and let that guy wait here.
This is not jealousy.
That's only fair!
"Okay, let's get going now without further ado."
"-.Um?""
Freme:
"ah?"
I looked up blankly and saw Herbert's bright smile.
"Now?"
She felt as if she was dreaming.
"Yes, right now!"
She originally thought that Herbert came today just to establish a relationship with her.
I never expected that he would really take her out of this prison.
You are really serious! !
Isn't it so sudden!
"Haha, it's nothing. I'm just going out temporarily this time."
Herbert patted Freme's back gently and promised softly:
"But sooner or later, just as promised, I will take you away from here completely."
Go to where we belong.
