Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 490 - 303 A "request" (Happy Valentine’s Day!)_3

"And I equally cannot understand your anger."

She lowered her eyes, indifferently looking at the subtly changing expression of Eliza, and spoke lightly:

"This foolish clanswoman of mine sneaked into my room and attempted to assassinate me... She wanted to kill me, isn’t it normal for me to kill her in return?"

"Did I do something wrong by doing so?"

Eliza: ?

These words, why do they sound perfectly reasonable?

"This..."

While Eliza was at a loss for words, Herbert, on the other side, kept observing Stella’s subtle expressions. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Herbert’s eyebrows slightly twitched, and he restrained the vampire lady who was about to argue, staring at Stella as he slowly said, "Stella, do you recognize me?"

Stella’s expression was rather cold when speaking to Eliza, but upon seeing Herbert, she smiled, showing a stark double standard.

"Recognize? Haha, of course, I recognize you, Herbert Albert, am I right?"

She squinted slightly, appraising the young paladin who appeared particularly radiant amidst evil and darkness, and said softly, "Young and proud son of a noble, I didn’t expect you to be so bold as to actually dare to come here."

"I not only know your identity in the Mist Monastery, as the only one with a chance to contact my sister."

"Yet I am also aware of all your actions in the Frost Crystal Kingdom; you’ve killed a few old patrons of the Moore Clan with great difficulty."

Stella’s words cast a shadow over Herbert’s mood—this Mist Monastery is really like a sieve, anyone can come to take a look.

And indeed, Stella, just as Svanni had once said, really followed him like a snake in the shadows.

Stella perceived Herbert’s silence as tension, continuing to smile and said, "I’m curious, do you so readily believe the words of my clanspeople? Are you truly willing to risk coming here with her to assassinate me?"

"Herbert, are you unaware of what Moore signifies? They’re betrayers!"

"Now, Vilamay has already betrayed your expectations and trust, do you still not know what needs to be done?"

Eliza: ?

What do you mean, what do you plan to do to him?

"What are you planning to do? I’m asking you, you... hmm?"

Herbert grabbed Eliza’s hand and squeezed it tightly, signaling her to remain calm.

He frowned, staring at Stella and said slowly, "So what do you mean? Do you now expect us to give up resisting?"

"Do you think I, as a Paladin, would surrender to evil?"

Upon hearing Herbert’s words, Stella’s smile became even more bewitching and radiant. She saw through the boy’s bravado and gently shook her head.

"Surrender? No, this isn’t about bowing to evil, but rather wanting to make a deal with you."

"The ritual has already begun, according to my original plan, all beings in the city would become sacrifices to our lord—but now that you’re here, I can give you an opportunity."

"Herbert, as long as you agree to one of my requests, I’ll spare the rest of them. Doesn’t that sound like a wonderful deal? Haha~"

On the tower, Stella laughed joyously, her golden vertical pupils stared at the completely tense boy, savoring his anxiety.

So now you finally show unease ~

"Young Paladin, you surely don’t wish to see everyone die, do you?"

Herbert pursed his lips, his expression slightly twisted. After a long silence, he asked in a deep voice, "...What request?"

The devotee of the Evil God looked down from the tower, smiling as she gazed at the pure and immaculate paladin, laughing quietly as she issued her invitation.

She said:

"Would you like to become my companion?"

"Become a follower of our lord, just like me!!!"
