"Ophidia."

Herbert abruptly interrupted Ophidia's words.

"Do you think this will make me back down? How lightly do you regard my determination?"

At this moment, his expression calmed down, no longer angry or anxious.

"Won't you try trusting me for once?"

Herbert looked at Ophidia and said softly, "Set aside your doubts and choose to trust me. I promise I won't disappoint you."

"What will it take for you to trust me?"

"Do you need me to sign a contract? Or make a vow? Or do you need to confront my soul to know whether I am truthful?"

He spoke the words once uttered before Ophidia, once again revealing a bleak smile.

"Is there really no hope at all?"

Perhaps having heard such words before, Ophidia's heart shook fiercely after listening.

She felt... as if she had heard these words somewhere before!!?

It really seemed as Herbert said, she had known him, heard these words, but ultimately, she had forgotten these like a heartless person.

Initially, she was doubtful, but with more and more "details," she gradually began to trust Herbert's claim.

Could it be that I really hurt him once?

Ophidia wasn't very confident about her own memories.

After choosing to bear the secret, she had a long period of confusion, taking a long time to finally sort out the sequence of her memories.

Then... what did he truly mean in my heart once upon a time?

Though it was only a faint sensation, when Ophidia looked at Herbert, her heart would naturally flutter with a trace of shyness.

As if there was some bashful memory between the two that caused one's cheeks to blush.

Meanwhile, after Herbert asked with a bleak smile, he lowered his head, exuding a strong aura of despair.

"..."

Ophidia couldn't bear to see Herbert so despondent, and after a brief silence, she sighed helplessly.

"Sigh..."

Had she hurt him once before, must she hurt him a second time now?

She looked at the white-haired boy with complex emotions, his mood low, gently saying:

"Herbert, I still stand by my thoughts, hoping that you can abandon this idea. That would be the best outcome for you."

"But if you are determined to seek a method, it's not entirely impossible either."

Upon hearing this, the boy raised his head abruptly, gazing at her with eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

Feeling uncomfortable under such burning eyes, Ophidia slightly turned her head, and her body slid backward a little."

She had grown accustomed to solitude and coldness, uncomfortable with such enthusiasm and heat."

But Ophidia made a miscalculation—he intended to escape, but Herbert wouldn't allow it.

Whenever Ophidia moved, Herbert immediately followed."

One move, one follow, one move, one follow."

Neither spoke, but they moved farther and farther from their original spot."

"..."

After the two silently sidled more than ten meters, Ophidia's mind was completely set, no longer moving."

She hesitated slightly and said slowly, "As long as you can become a Secret Keeper, then you possess the qualification to share my burden."

"Then..."

Before Herbert could speak excitedly, Ophidia quickly said, "But! To become a Secret Keeper, you must pass a rigorous test."

"In this regard, I will not provide any help; you must rely entirely on yourself."

"Find the way of the test, prepare the ceremony yourself."

Ophelia's attitude was firm—I can point you in the direction, but how to walk it, how to arrive at it, depends on yourself."

If you can do it, then I accept you."

But if you can't, then don't mention this matter again."

Herbert's delighted expression became slightly restrained as he pursed his lips."

"..."

After staying silent for a long moment, he sighed, his voice deep as he asked, "So you're saying as long as I pass the test, you won't hinder me?"

Ophidia nodded lightly, speaking softly, "If you truly can pass the test, then you naturally become a new Secret Keeper, and I have no reason or qualification to obstruct you."

However, although Ophidia said this, she had already prepared herself."

She did not intend to give Herbert any opportunity for a test."

This seemed to offer hope, but in truth, there was no possibility of realization."

To become a Secret Keeper, one must first pass the test, but the test...is not something that can be casually conducted, there are many preparations and necessary resources."

Because those tests require core potions, which she would never give to him."

Just like Ophidia always saying—there is no need for more sacrifices here."

But just when she thought everything was seamless, the boy across suddenly revealed a bright smile."

"Good, very good! This is what you personally said!"

"Haha!"

The boy who had been gloomy before cleared away the gloomy aura after receiving the promise and laughed heartily."

Ophidia: ???

Did he go completely mad after knowing he couldn't do it?

This...

In her confusion, Herbert stopped laughing and winked at her, "Rest assured, I will definitely pass the test! When that time comes, don't deny your words."

He stepped forward, somewhat rudely wrapping his arm around Ophidia's waist, whispering teasingly to her, "Alright, it's time to wake up from the dream."
