Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 669 - 370 Serve Me (8K, Additional - s 211, 212)_3

Like a devoted follower of the God of Love, he mingled daily among the noble masquerades, entangled with nobles of all ages and ranks...

And he did this in hopes of catching the eye of the Church of the Goddess of Love and Joy, to become one of them.

He imagined hitching a ride with the God of Love, thus altering his fate.

But the problem was, his every move and little schemes were already exposed beneath the goddess's watchful eye.

The gods see all, the gods express doubt, the gods fall into silence.

Ultimately, the goddess still rejected him and did not agree to his membership application.

By the way, the pronoun was not mistaken.

It wasn't "her," but "him."

That burly man with bear ancestry, standing three meters tall and weighing over half a ton, transformed his appearance through special magic from the Dark Territory.

He changed into a petite, golden-haired, twin-tailed, cat-eared girl, who would revert to his original form after midnight...

No one understood what he was thinking.

Nor did anyone know what he was trying to achieve...

He could have put on a mere act, just to get by, but he insisted on personally going down the field and committed himself fully.

Perhaps, he had awakened the femininity within him.

However, in some sense, he was successful.

Because in the end, the Goddess of Love couldn't help herself and descended to ask him... Why did you choose the Church of Love, not another like the War Church?

With his superior innate conditions, he could easily stand out in those churches, attracting the notice of the gods.

Why go far for something nearby?

Why, what exactly are you after?

The goddess expressed her confusion.

And his answer left the God of Love silent.

He said:

"I just wanted to be loved, meow."

The goddess said:

"Stop messing around and speak properly."

The God of Love rarely cursed, but it was understandable.

After all, not everyone could accept a burly man with a full beard whispering such words in a high-pitched voice.

Even the well-traveled goddess couldn't handle it... she truly hadn't seen this before.

Ultimately, this abstract Otherworld man successfully changed his destiny, advancing to Legendary the following year.

However, shortly after changing his fate, he fell gravely ill and died due to the side effects of the Transformation Magic.

His age at death due to illness was even earlier than the age when he was predicted to die a normal death... It was unclear whether he had escaped one fate only to fall into another.

In Joanna's eyes, Herbert was such a lucky one.

He was influenced by the gods behind him, thus changing his destiny.

Although Joanna couldn't feel the presence of the gods on Herbert, he hid it well in that regard.

But she believed Herbert must have the gods' profound favor!

Without a doubt, he was yet another Divine Favorer.

And coincidentally, Joanna's thoughts weren't entirely wrong.

You could say the process of inference was completely wrong, but the result was not far off.

Indeed, Herbert had the gods' favor, and his ability to change fate was related to the gods... Hey, it truly was a coincidence.

Joanna held no animosity towards Herbert, only filled with envy for his fortunate experiences.

Sour grapes.

"When will I become a Divine Favorer too? Ah, never mind."

But when she thought of her own goddess's character, she couldn't help but silently sigh in her heart.

Her own goddess was wonderful in every way, except for her rather unhinged personality, loving to travel (wander) everywhere, with blessings bestowed whimsically.

Moreover, limited by Hecayas's own power, the Divine Power he could distribute wasn't much, so there were even fewer blessed Devotees.

"However, if the goddess doesn't work, then... what about that lady?"

Joanna, after leaving the Ice and Snow Divine Hall, continued to ponder secretly in her heart.

Neither she nor many from the Ice and Snow Church believed this was betraying their own gods.

We didn't defect to others, we simply returned to our origins. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

After all, our goddess was just a plaything in that lady's hands, so it made no difference... cough cough.

"Alright, they've all left, can you speak now?"

After Meister and another left, the atmosphere in the space quietly changed.

Herbert smiled, no longer looking so imposing but instead casual and relaxed like before.

He leisurely sat in a chair made of ice, patted his leg, and smiled towards Sofia, gesturing: "What are you spacing out over there for? Hurry up and come over."

When outsiders were present, as a superior, he had to maintain his dignity.

No matter the reason Sofia violated his orders, he had to make a stance.

But when there were no others around, it was a confidential discussion with his trusted ones, no need for posturing.

When facing outsiders, be firm.

When facing those close, be gentle.

Combining firmness and gentleness is the art of governance.

"..."

Sofia was still somewhat hesitant, but under Herbert's gaze, she obediently nodded.

She paced in front of Herbert and then bent her knees, about to respectfully prostrate herself before him.

"My lord..."

Yet midway, Herbert stopped her, letting her cross her arms over his lap and rest her chin on them.

Sofia: ???

The centaur lady was somewhat confused about the situation but dared not struggle, slightly raising her head to look at Herbert with bewilderment.
