Chapter 996 - 483: Let Me See Your Desire
"As a genius once targeted by the God of Sinful Desire, is this all your desire?"
Herbert stared at Svanni, his tone rather playful.
Is this all you can aspire to?
A Loyal Dog?
Is that enough?
I don’t believe it.
Herbert didn’t think that Svanni could truly be satisfied just by becoming the Loyal Dog she wished to be.
It’s not enough.
To be regarded by the God of Sinful Desire as a rare talent, Svanni must possess certain qualities that attract Him, beyond her talents in the ways of flesh.
Like... the desire hidden under a cold exterior.
"Are you really so humble?"
"I..."
Svanni, staring into Herbert’s gray eyes, felt as if she had been completely seen through.
In front of him, it was as though she stood bare, without any secrets.
How much had he seen through?
How much did he know?
After knowing all the "truth," could he really accept it?
This "naked feeling" filled Svanni with genuine fear.
Instinctively, she wanted to run away, to hide in a place where she couldn’t be peered at, to find a momentary peace through avoidance.
But now, Herbert wouldn’t allow her to escape.
At this point, you still want to run?
No way!
"Don’t run."
Herbert laughed softly, applying slight force with his arm, holding her snugly against his chest, questioning, "Even if you run now, where can you hide?"
"I already gave you time, didn’t I?"
He had given her enough time and space to adapt, to process, and to think things through.
And now, though urged by a couple of close sisters, making the situation a bit like herding ducks onto a shelf, it wasn’t far off from what was expected.
The net could now be pulled in.
It was time for him to inspect the results.
Herbert looked at the somewhat flustered Dark Elf, feeling an interesting contrast.
When she was secretly tempting him behind Eliza’s back, she was quite open, with all kinds of seductive gestures, not shy at all.
But now, in his arms, her whole body froze, not daring to move.
Heh~
Miss, were you an online pervert friend from my past life chat group?
Online, everyone is obscene like a devil, with chat records that can’t even go through review.
But offline, they’re all shy as maidens, like bashful young brides.
One and all, they were just mouthy champions.
Feeling the stiffness of Svanni’s body, Herbert’s lips curled slightly upwards, not forcing her to give a direct answer, instead asking, "Svanni, are you underestimating me?"
"...What?"
Lost in the warmth of Herbert’s chest, Svanni felt a bit disoriented, not understanding Herbert’s meaning for a moment, looking up with a bit of confusion.
Underestimate?
Underestimate what?
"Do you think I’ll be scared? Or that I’ll be disgusted by your thoughts?"
The white-haired Paladin lowered his gaze, looking tenderly at the Dark Elf in his arms, leaning down, speaking softly as if brushing against her ear, "Svanni, there’s no need to pretend anymore."
"In front of me, you don’t need to hide, or pretend to fit in."
"Be bold, let me see your desire."
Desire?
Svanni snapped back, blankly looking up.
Did he say... desire?
In the depths of the treehouse, in the endless flesh, another Svanni, who looked asleep, slowly moved her fingers.
She looked much like the outer clone, except appearing slightly younger, her skin a lighter shade, different from the typical dark skin of a Dark Elf, more of a healthy wheat color.
Wearing a long white dress and with hair flowing down to her waist, she appeared softer than the outer clone.
Thud!
A sudden, intense heartbeat echoed from her once calm chest.
Thud thud thud!
Soon, that heartbeat grew faster, and faster!
Svanni’s true self abruptly opened her eyes, similarly gazing up, joining her clone in looking at Herbert.
"You want to see my desire?"
Herbert, seeing her shocked expression, laughed with pleasure, nodding.
"That’s right."
"Svanni, you can be a bit more greedy!"
Be a bit more greedy!
"A bit more... greedy?"
"Yes!"
Svanni bit her lip, staying silent for a moment, her expression flickering, her gaze changing constantly.
The two merely stared at each other, neither speaking for a time.
Just as Herbert thought to add more fuel to the fire, he heard the sound of swallowing.
Gulp.
It was very light, but it indicated that Svanni was moved.
Consequently, his smile became even more radiant, and the arm around her waist tightened further.
Consequently, he unleashed his ultimate move.
"You can be a bit... crazier."
!!!
Svanni could no longer stay calm, completely unable to hold on any longer.
"Herbert, you..."
In the gradually widening eyes of the Dark Elf, a pair of beautiful gray eyes was reflected.
In those tranquil gray eyes, something different from the usual was flickering.
It was madness.
She actually saw "madness" in the Paladin’s eyes?
Moreover, it was a purer kind of madness than that feigned by many villains from the Evil Faction!
In the depths of those abyss-like eyes flickered a fearsome madness, of which just the tip of the iceberg was enough to make countless souls tremble.
