"strength……"

Theresa stared blankly at Lord Herbert, who was so close to her, and for a moment she had no mind to pay attention to his beautiful face.

Herbert's words echoed repeatedly in her mind.

Do you crave power?

power?

What would I do with power?
That's a really strange question from Lord Herbert.

I'm just an ordinary village girl. Even if I had the power, what could I possibly do?

Seriously, don't joke around with people like that...

She instinctively wanted to escape, to say something like that to refuse.

But just as she was about to utter those words, she saw those beautiful, crystal-like eyes before her.

Those pale gray eyes held no teasing or joking, but rather a reassuring gentleness and certainty.

He seemed to know exactly what kind of answer he would give.

In Lord Herbert's heart, it seemed that he had already given the answer.

The answer—certainly—is not such a denial.

In his eyes, was I actually craving power?
But, why is this?

Why would he think that way about me?
I'm just a...

Just before the girl was about to answer, Herbert asked again in a soft voice:

"Theresa, are you really sure about this?"

The gentle words were not harsh, but when they reached my ears, they were like a boulder falling into the water, stirring up waves and turbulent waves, creating a huge storm on the calm lake of my heart.

"I……"

The girl's expression was blank, but her eyes trembled slightly, as if she was gradually remembering something. Her body trembled slightly, and her hands slowly clenched.

Herbert raised his right hand, gently stroking the girl's cheek with the back of his hand, his eyes lowered, and asked with affection:
What kind of person do you want to become?

!!!

Theresa's expression showed more hesitation, but after the confusion, she couldn't come up with a real answer and could only lower her head in escape once again.

"I...I think...I don't know."

she does not know.

I really don't know how to answer.

This question came too suddenly, without any preparation, and I didn't have time to think about it or figure out the answer in my mind.

After all, she was just a poor, ignorant, and foolish village girl who had not received much education.

Even with superhuman strength and the gift of her bloodline, she didn't know how to use it, let alone have any ambition or ideas.

Teresa just wants to escape now.

As she had done countless times before, by covering her head and hiding under the covers, she was able to forget the pain and difficulties she faced.

Simply close your eyes, and you can roam freely in a world of beautiful dreams, briefly escaping that miserable reality.

But this time, Herbert didn't intend to let her continue to run away.

While temporary escapism may offer a false sense of security, it cannot provide a permanent escape.

Since we'll have to face it eventually, we might as well do it right now.

The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, and the second best time is right now.

Herbert's gaze softened as he looked at the girl, his tone becoming gentler, and he said softly:
"I see, I understand. Can we ask it another way... Theresa, what is your wish?"

If you don't like power and feel that power has no meaning for you, then you must have had dreams, right?

What is your wish?

"A wish? My wish..."

Perhaps because the person in front of her spoke so gently, Teresa's mind and body gradually relaxed and she began to think along with his words.

Wish?
I must have had a wish; I definitely did have a wish.

But I am a greedy child, and my wishes are constantly changing.

People's wishes change over time.

In the beginning, all Teresa had was a small, very ordinary and mundane wish.

At that time, Teresa wished her mother had never died and her father hadn't been away from home so often.

She only hoped to have a happy and fulfilling home, just like everyone else's, even if it wasn't wealthy.

She just wanted to have a home.

But this small wish ultimately did not come true.

The mother did not return because of her devout prayers, as the story says, nor did she appear in her dreams.

My mother is a heartless person.

My father is always away, I don't know what he's busy with, and I only see him a few times a year.

Although each time he came back, he tried to build a stronger bond with himself, but for a small child, a tall stranger was still too difficult to approach.

My father is a stranger.

At that time, she hoped that a knight would appear and bring her father back to his side, so that the two of them could resist their longing for their mother.

Although he gradually came to understand his father's predicament as he grew older, the missing childhood and the trauma it left behind would not easily disappear with understanding.

Later, the father finally stopped walking.

He seemed to have finally given up on continuing his journey, leaving behind a letter directing her to their true family.

By that time, Theresa was old enough to understand the meaning of family and the significance of noble status.

She is a village girl, but she doesn't seem to be just a simple country girl. Instead, she is a descendant of a noble family with a special secret.

Although I don't feel a sense of identity or authenticity with this identity, life seems to be getting better.

At that time, Theresa made a new wish.

She hoped she could adapt well to her new identity and become a noblewoman in the eyes of outsiders.

Theresa did not crave a life of luxury and wealth; she simply wished to avoid experiencing any more suffering.

She even hoped, if possible, to meet a knight who would admire her, marry her, and then have a harmonious and happy family together.

And this wish did not come true.

After boarding the caravan's carriage, she experienced an even more tragic ordeal.

Theresa became a slave, a special commodity that was avoided by others because of a curse, yet was also highly sought after.

The noblewoman's future was gone, leaving her only with the tragic end of becoming a slave.

At that moment, the girl truly understood what despair felt like.

With absolutely no hope in sight, one can only watch oneself gradually sink into the abyss, without any means of struggle or escape.

Those who say they can't see the future are the ones who have truly seen it.

During that most desperate and darkest time, Teresa made a wish.

Perhaps it cannot be called a wish, but merely the helpless plea of ​​a dying person.

She prayed to all the gods, bowed to her pitiful and hateful fate, hoping to find a glimmer of hope in despair and avoid such a tragic end.

At that time, she hoped that she could be saved.

She no longer yearned for those non-existent knights, nor did she believe in the absurd plots of stories.

Theresa didn't pray to any specific person; she just hoped someone could save her.

Anyone can do it.

Whether they are gods or not, it doesn't matter.

But ironically, this wish, which she had absolutely no hope for, became the only one that came true.

Yes.

This wish... has come true.

The knight she had dreamed of countless times since childhood finally stepped out of the story and into reality without any warning.

In her despair, the great man appeared before her, severing the evil that reached out to her and pulling her out of the abyss.

He was like a ray of light tearing through the darkness, and that brilliance is forever etched into her soul.

Although Theresa knew perfectly well that she was just an ordinary person among the countless people saved by Lord Herbert, and just a pitiful little animal that he had rescued on a whim.

But what's the problem with that?

Regardless of how Herbert viewed himself, she was saved by his own hands.

The truth is, she was saved by the knight she had always hoped for and was given a new life.

It was at that moment that Teresa greedily made a wish that was almost impossible to fulfill.

She wished she could stand beside him.

No matter what her status is, as long as she can stay by his side, that's enough.

After a moment of confusion, Theresa seemed to finally understand what her wish was.

"My wish is..."

But just as she was about to open her mouth to answer, she suddenly fell silent when she saw Herbert's eyes.

And now, what is her wish?

Is that my true wish?
Is that really the only expectation in my heart?

She longed for more, to be fortunate enough to become his partner, and then, like in the ending of the story, to bear him children and become a gentle mother.

If she could, Theresa would certainly not refuse such a wonderful future.

but……

If, if there really is another possibility.

Will this greedy village girl want even more?

Instead of treating him as a caged pet, I stand by his side with dignity and strength, able to offer him help.

But in truth, Teresa always knew deep down what she lacked to shed the image of a mere pretty face.

It's strength.

She has always lacked strength.

Theresa knew.

Ultimately, all the tragedies she suffered had only one reason—she lacked power.

She is too weak.

Faced with that cruel and tragic fate, she had no power to resist!
They could only endure the capricious manipulation of fate, drifting along helplessly.

If she wants to get rid of all this, she must have her own power.

Yes.

She needs strength.

She... craved power.

what.

After figuring this out and understanding the ambition she had been suppressing, Teresa felt as if she had broken free of shackles, freeing herself from a heavy chain that had bound her soul for an unknown amount of time.

"call……"

Finally, after a long yet brief period of self-analysis, the girl loosened her clenched hands and exhaled a long breath of stale air from her lungs.

"Lord Herbert."

Theresa raised her head and looked at the knight who still had the same smile as before. Her eyes no longer held any evasion or unease, but only the firmness that came from understanding.

"I crave power."

she says:

"I wish I had the power to overcome all difficulties and to take control of my own destiny."

Theresa didn't want to feel so helpless and miserable anymore. She didn't want to hide in bed and escape reality anymore, and she didn't want to rely on the future fantasies given to her by others.

Although she had already been saved once.

But this time, she wanted to live a little more greedily.

Theresa... wanted to take her destiny into her own hands.

Although it was somewhat greedy, it was indeed a true wish that she had kept hidden in her heart for who knows how long.

After hearing this answer, Herbert finally smiled with satisfaction.

"very good."

He was quite pleased with the girl's "greed".

Herbert could help Theresa, provide her with all sorts of resources, and even unleash the power within her bloodline to transform her into a legendary, peak-level powerhouse in a very short time.

But that was nothing more than a reflection in a mirror or a flower in the water—a dilapidated building with no foundation, floating in the sky, teetering on the verge of collapse.

He couldn't give her the true heart of a strong person.

The true heart of a strong person can only be understood by oneself.

Although Theresa's current thoughts cannot be described as a strong mentality, having this greed has already taken the first and most crucial step.

Once she had this greed, she could continue to grow until she finally filled the void in her heart.

"..."

Theresa looked at Herbert with a determined gaze, but after a moment, she hurriedly came to her senses.

Huh?!?
What did I just say?
I think I said something really important!

She felt incredibly embarrassed by her boastful words and instinctively tried to cover them up.

But the words caught in his throat. He took a deep breath, bit his tongue hard, and forcefully suppressed the urge to back down, forcing himself to look into Herbert's eyes.

I finally mustered up the courage, how can I back down here?
hold onto!
"Lord Herbert!"

She forced herself to stop thinking about those embarrassing ideas and mustered her courage to ask, "How...how can I gain power?"

"method?"

Herbert suddenly raised an eyebrow with amusement, smiled, and whispered meaningfully, "Didn't I tell you? I'll give it to you little by little."

!!!

wrong.

and many more!

Something seems off?
This feeling……

Feeling the strange atmosphere, the girl's hard-won courage suddenly wavered again, and she began to want to back down.

"Uh, I, you, ah..."

Theresa hesitated for a moment, biting her lip with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness, and asked with a forced smile, "Then how are you going to give it to me?"

She was indeed a young girl, but not an innocent child who knew nothing.

In this world, someone her age could have gotten married and had children long ago!
Looking into Herbert's deep eyes, Theresa couldn't help but start thinking inappropriately...

Ah!
If, if he intends to teach me using some special method, then I… no, no, no, how could Lord Herbert do such a thing!
But what if he actually did it in a moment of impulse?
How can I get him to stop and continue?
I……

Herbert looked at the girl's constantly shifting eyes and flushed cheeks, and smiled to himself, guessing what inappropriate images she was thinking about.

"Heh, it seems you're expecting something?"

! ! ?

He saw through it?

Theresa wavered even more completely, her eyes darting around.

"Uh! I, I..."

She wanted to back away, but Herbert's gaze stopped her, and she stood obediently in place.

"are you ready?"

what to prepare?
What do I need to prepare?
What exactly do I need to prepare?!?
I--

"I'm ready!"

In her confusion, Teresa bit her lip lightly, then resignedly closed her eyes, her lips slightly pursed.

She didn't know why she was doing it.

But the girl's intuition told her that doing so was definitely okay!
"..."

Herbert couldn't help but laugh and shake his head as he looked at the girl's adorable, easily pampered appearance.

They're really cute.

Since the other party has already assumed such a good posture, he has no reason not to cooperate.

So Herbert took action.

His fingers moved slightly, gently moving from the girl's blushing cheeks, past her moist red lips, and then lightly touching the tip of her nose.

Finally, sensing her trembling and anticipation... it landed on her brow.

"Eh?"

Theresa felt the touch between her eyebrows, and her tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, filled with question marks.

Why the space between the eyebrows?

"Of course—this is how I'll give it to you."

With a light laugh, Herbert pointed his finger, infusing a complex stream of information into the girl's soul.

"what--"

A torrent of spiritual energy surged into her soul, leaving the girl, who had never experienced anything like it, momentarily stunned, and she let out a strange, guttural sound.

Her eyes rolled back, she made incoherent sounds, and she fell straight backward, fainting.

Fortunately, Herbert was prepared and reached out to catch Theresa around the waist, preventing her from falling miserably.

"..."

Eunice, who had witnessed the whole thing, stared wide-eyed at Herbert as he pulled Theresa into his arms, her expression a mixture of shock and confusion.

What did I just see?
Eunil witnessed firsthand how Herbert subtly aroused Theresa's desires and guided her to express her greatest wish.

Father, like son.

Yuni, who was standing nearby, witnessed everything.

While those answers may seem to be Teresa's own thoughts, each step was actually completed under Herbert's invisible guidance.

Those favored by God witnessed firsthand how Herbert manipulated people's hearts like toys.

That posture... yes, it was like that of a god.

He is truly transforming into a mythical creature.

But just when Eunil thought Herbert was full of divinity, he suddenly changed his attitude and revealed his vibrant humanity.

He was not a lofty, divine being, but an ordinary mortal with all sorts of desires.

She thought she was about to witness a thrilling scene, and indeed she did see a thrilling moment, but in a different way.

Her heart was pounding, thinking she was about to witness something romantic—but this is what she got!

Yunier felt her girlish heart had been deceived; this was blatant cruelty.

fraud!

Didn't you see how excited Teresa was?
Her lips were pouting so high, how could you... how could you do that?
Are you even a man?!?

My Goddess!
Please punish this despicable person who toyed with the pure hearts of young girls!

Unfortunately, the goddess of winter did not respond to her previous call, nor did she turn her gaze here, nor did she hear her prayers.

Herbert then noticed Eunice's resentful gaze, turned around, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Yunier's lips twitched twice, as if she wanted to say something, but she knew that if she said anything, it would probably not end well.

Finally, she suppressed her urge to complain and asked, feigning ignorance, "Uh, is this what you meant by...giving it to her little by little?"

"Yes, this power should be given to her little by little."

Herbert smiled slightly, then naturally handed the unconscious girl to her best friend, shaking his head with a sigh.

"Theresa's soul is too weak to fully bear this inheritance. If I give it to her all at once, she will either go insane or fall into a long slumber."

"Alright, since you're here, I'll be leaving now. You can take care of her."

After saying that, Herbert raised his hand and gently patted Eunice's head, then strode away without looking back.

"I thought you'd use that method~"

"Ha, how can you talk like that? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"What? Aren't you one?"

"Indeed I am."

Faced with Nenasha's question, Herbert gave the most truthful answer without hesitation.

Okay, you're right.

You have a good eye for people. (JPG)
Since her true nature had already been completely exposed to Miss Harmony, Herbert didn't bother to hide it and casually said:

"However, even if we were to use that method, we should wait until our relationship with her has progressed further. Using it now would be too early."

"After all, I'm not a lecherous person."

?

【"you……"】

Nenasha was so angry she laughed. She really wanted to kick this clueless guy in the butt.

If you're not a womanizer, do you think I am?
"No, I'm not!"

But Herbert remained steadfast in his conviction, firmly repeating, "I am not lustful at all!"

Absolutely not.

They were the ones who were lusting after me.

"I simply admire their beautiful souls!"

【"they?"】

"Well, I just admire your beautiful souls!"

Behind her, Eunice stared blankly as Herbert's dashing figure gradually disappeared.

"Oh, alright."

After a long while, the girl lowered her head in a daze, looking at her best friend's sleeping face and muttering to herself, "Theresa, Lord Herbert, he really, um..."

She hesitated for a moment, carefully choosing her words, and then softly remarked, "She really is a very special person."

It's a very special kind of existence.

"correct……"

The girl favored by the gods suddenly remembered something and tilted her head strangely.

"Why hasn't the goddess answered my prayers?"

……

……

Meanwhile, within the Sacred Realm of Nature, a dialogue is taking place that could very well influence the balance of power among the gods.

Under the watchful eyes of the gods, a deity spoke solemnly.

He said:

"I'm here to end this pantheon."
