After hearing this, Valentina subconsciously loosened her hand and successfully let Herbert escape from her clutches.
"You...are you serious?"
"Ahem! Ahem, you really tried hard."
Herbert, who had escaped death, sighed softly, shook his head, and chuckled in his heart with some self-mockery: "I must be crazy."
He didn't let Valentina wait any longer, he took the initiative to pass through the railing and walked into the cage resolutely.
Then…
He was grabbed by the ferocious beast and held tightly!
Click, click, click…
There were unpleasant crisp sounds coming from the bones all over his body, and Herbert felt as if he had been hit by a heavy truck.
Strictly speaking, it's not that exaggerated. It's still slightly weaker than the one with the push on the back.
But it’s really not far off.
If Herbert had not soaked his feet in the lava hell for a while to strengthen his body, he would probably have fallen apart by now.
But when he turned his head and looked at Valentina's uneasy face, as if she was afraid of losing something, he couldn't get angry.
The two didn't say anything and just hugged each other quietly for a while.
"Valentina."
"Shut up."
"Are you scared?"
"Humph, I'm not afraid."
"What's the truth?"
“… Shut up.”
Herbert shook his head and did not ask any more questions.
No need to ask anymore.
Her reaction said it all and no further explanation was needed.
Some things need no further explanation.
After being held for a while, Herbert suddenly felt Valentina sniffing and sniffing him.
"I see you are really hungry."
Gulp…
"I am indeed hungry."
After joking for a while, Herbert shook his head and finally whispered: "Valentina, I won't die."
!!!
Herbert no longer hesitated, raised his arms and gently hugged back.
Valentina's body trembled, and she subconsciously wanted to push him away, but she withdrew her hand as soon as she made the move and let him hold her.
Herbert embraced this terrifying being that could destroy the kingdom and made a promise: "Although I am still very weak to you now, I will not die so easily."
No matter what you have lost in the past.
I won't leave you as easily as they do.
Herbert didn't say this directly, but he believed that Valentina could understand what he meant.
Click, click, click.
After releasing his arms, Valentina hugged him tighter and muttered doubtfully, "…promise."
"I promise."
Herbert noticed that Miss Hungry Dragon's ears twitched sensitively when he spoke, and he laughed secretly in his heart. He put his lips close to her ear and whispered in the most gentle tone:
"Valentina, I promise you..."
"I will live a very long time."
.
.
When Herbert finally got rid of the dragon's claws and walked out of the alien prison, two figures were already waiting for him at the door.
"Your Excellency the Knight Commander."
Herbert did not panic. He nodded to Bishop Rusty Nail first, then walked to Bishop Thorn, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Your Excellency the Presiding Judge."
The tall judge did not nod, but stood in front of him like a wall, looked down at him, and said coldly: "... Do you know what you did?"
"I know."
Herbert straightened up, looked at him calmly, and said calmly: "I forcibly used my authority to allow the prisoners in the first area to cross into the fourth area, and let the two fight."
The matter would definitely be exposed. Herbert had already considered this when he asked Valentina to move across regions. He knew that this matter could not be concealed.
Rather, he was surprised to see only two bishops.
The attitude of the monastery's higher-ups seemed... better than he thought.
Seeing that he admitted it frankly, the presiding judge's attitude improved a little. He nodded slowly and asked in a muffled voice: "Why do you do this?"
Herbert calmly replied: "This is part of my education of prisoners... The fact that the furious man did this is a sign that I have successfully educated him."
"She took the initiative to protect me when my life was in danger, which was totally unthinkable in the past."
After he finished his explanation, the two bishops were silent, and it was unclear whether they were doubting or thinking.
Herbert did not take the initiative to explain and just stood there quietly.
After a moment of silence, Bishop Rusty Nail broke the silence:
"Let's go."
"His Excellency the Archbishop wishes to see you."
Chapter 82 Contraband (1/4)
"Your Highness!"
"I want to see His Highness!"
When the three of them passed the central square of the monastery, Herbert heard Blake's shouting, or screaming...
At this moment, Blake was being pinned to the ground by two disciplinary nuns who were stronger than him. He wanted to struggle but was afraid of angering others, so he could only let them pin him down and shout loudly with his head held high.
Herbert subconsciously turned his head to take a look, then immediately retracted his gaze, looking at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, pretending that he saw nothing.
"Blake? Um... I don't know him."
What is that embarrassing thing on the ground
I don’t know him anyway.
"Your Highness Herbert—"
However, Herbert tried to ignore it, but Blake noticed him with sharp eyes and screamed even more miserably.
He looked so excited and trembling as if he had just been pinned to the ground and severely abused - especially considering his posture at the moment, it really made people imagine a lot.
Since the other party had called out his name, Herbert could no longer pretend that nothing had happened. He frowned and looked at the presiding judge behind him.
"Your Excellency the Presiding Judge, can you allow me to handle this?"
“… Go ahead.”
After getting permission from Bishop Thorn, Herbert walked up to Blake and, ignoring his excited gaze, asked the two nuns directly:
"Two monks, what happened? Did my retainer do anything?"
"Brother Herbert... is he your retainer?"
One of the nuns stood up, frowned at Herbert, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know what he did?"
"Please let me know."
"They actually brought blasphemous things into the monastery!"
Um
Blasphemy
Contraband
When Herbert heard this word, a word popped up uncontrollably in his mind.
...pornographic books
But seeing how angry these two nuns were, the things they brought in were probably quite outrageous, not just books.
Could it be fake...
But this is not right. Aren’t all guards men
Oh, and it can be used by men, too.
"Is this true?"
Herbert blinked and looked at Blake in surprise. He didn't expect that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes was actually such a kind-hearted man.
Blake saw Herbert's strange look and didn't know what he was thinking about. He shook his head vigorously and said repeatedly:
"No, no! We really didn't! We don't know anything! We don't know how that thing got into our package!"
In response, Herbert nodded gently.
Yeah, keep talking, I'm listening.
I understand.
Every patient who comes to our department says it was an accident, some slipped and sat in it while taking a shower, eating, or sleeping... We understand all of this.
We believe in you!
We have all been professionally trained and we won't laugh unless we can't help it.
Just as Herbert was thinking about the anorectal joke, the second nun spoke up and said angrily: "They hid the amulet of the North Witch and wanted to use it to spy on the monastery!"
Um
Really not!
Then the interest and abstractness of this matter suddenly decreases.
But... the Witch of the North
Herbert frowned, stared into Blake's eyes, and asked slowly: "Did you know about this?"
"Of course I don't know!"
Blake answered firmly: "Your Highness, please believe me, I really don't know! I can swear to God! That thing is definitely not on the list of goods!"
"so… "
Herbert stared at him for a while, then said to the Punishment Sister, "I don't sense any lies from him. What about you two?"
“… No.” The Punishment Sister hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully: “But even so, we can’t let him go so easily.”
"I understand. I don't expect you to make an exception and let me off."
Herbert smiled, but did not plead for them. Instead, he said, “I hope you can interrogate them with the highest standards for the sake of Albert’s family.”
"If you think it's necessary, it doesn't matter if you send them all to the court. I can promise here that the Albert family will not raise any protests because of this matter."
His eyes were full of sincerity, and he bowed to the two of them sincerely, saying respectfully: "Please enforce the law impartially and safeguard the honor of the Albert family."
Blake:
I originally thought that His Highness Herbert came to plead for me, but I didn't expect that he would sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice and push them directly into the fire pit.
