Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 660 - 368 The baby feels bitter.jpg (6.2K, seeking subscription)_2

"..." The young girl quietly pursed her lips.

...Indeed, there was no reason for him to always care about me.

After all, I was just one of the countless unfortunate people rescued by Lord Herbert, a girl without any special traits.

Just staying by his side was already the greatest happiness, I shouldn't want more.

The girl thought self-pityingly, knowing in her heart, yet still bit her lip in slight reluctance.

Unwilling.

It's truly frustrating!

"...Phew!"

A moment later, the grievances and bitterness in Teresa's heart gradually faded, and her gaze turned determined.

"I have to work harder!"

I need to continue striving so that Lord Herbert will notice me.

I will definitely make him see me.

He will definitely notice me!

"...Hehe, indeed~"

Beside her, Yunier observed her micro-expressions, a peculiar admiration flashing through her eyes.

Her temperament is not bad.

Although the Cold Winter Goddess had possessed Yunier, she did not strip Yunier of her will, and she was usually a naïve girl with a normal disposition.

But how many can truly be pure, clueless children worthy of becoming a Divine Favorer?

Innocence does not mean stupidity.

A pure heart often indicates sharper intuition.

Yunier wanted to be friends with Teresa, partly because they were close in age, and partly because of their similar personalities.

Two people who seemed completely different in personality were actually of the same kind.

The first time they met, Yunier could sense a familiar aura emanating from Teresa!

This seemingly weak, shy, and timid girl was actually incredibly brave and determined at heart.

All Teresa needed was more time for her gradual transformation.

Once she adapted to everything now and broke free from past constraints, she would eventually reveal her true nature.

Yunier looked at the calm, yet more resolute girl, smiled quietly, and suddenly asked, "Hey~ did you misunderstand something?"

"...Eh?"

The emotions building up in Teresa's heart were interrupted, she turned her head to look and saw Yunier winking at her playfully.

"I don't know what you're thinking about, but you seem to be overthinking!"

"Lord Herbert doesn't know you fainted not because he doesn't care about you, but because he was captured~"

Upon hearing Yunier's words, Teresa suddenly felt relieved.

"Oh, so that's it, he was just captured. I thought he didn't care about me… um?"

Something seemed off?

He, captured, by…

Teresa's still-drowsy mind took a moment to grasp the logic of the sentence—and then she was even more confused.

Teresa's eyes widened, her small head instantly filled with question marks.

Ah???

"Wait! What did you say? He was captured?"

Teresa didn't understand.

"With that fearsome Giant Dragon there, how could Lord Herbert be taken by a Chimera?"

Even though that three-headed Chimera seemed terrifying, it was unbeatable even if she tried her hardest, making her want to flee several times.

But compared to the terrifying giant beast that obscured the sky, it was simply incomparable!

Besides, hadn't Lord Herbert already returned by then?

What happened afterward?

"By whom was he captured!? And why… no, we have to rescue him now!"

Forget about what exactly happened, the most important thing now was to rescue Lord Herbert!

She turned and was about to rush out of the room, but Yunier caught her arm midway—though she wasn't held back.

"Hey hey hey, wait, hold on! Let me finish!"

Yunier grabbed Teresa's arm with both hands, pulling with all her might, yet was easily dragged out of the room.

In terms of strength, she was definitely no match. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Realizing it was impossible to stop her, Yunier could only quickly say, "No, you're wrong again! It wasn't the Chimera that captured him, it was that Giant Dragon!"

Tap.

Teresa froze in her tracks, stiffly turning her head back.

"That Giant Dragon?"

"Yes! That Giant Dragon, after you fainted, came back and took Lord Herbert away directly!"

At that time, they all witnessed the scene of Herbert gently kissing the dragon—a handsome white-haired knight, leaning upwards to kiss his ferocious crimson mount.

It was like a scene from a mythical legend, reflected in reality.

In that moment, some thought the relationship between Herbert and the dragon was merely that of master and servant, but Teresa didn't think so.

She instantly caught the gentle affection in Herbert's eyes; their relationship wasn't that simple.

Once she realized this, Teresa understood what Herbert being captured by the dragon truly meant.

"So that's how it is, this is how it is..."

Lord Herbert being safe and sound eased Teresa's mind.

But at the same time, she felt even worse.

She felt a faint bitterness rise in her throat—the anguish of a defeated loser.

The child's heart was bitter, but the baby wouldn't speak.

Right now, they must be… enjoying some happy moments together, right?

Even knowing she wasn't deserving now, she couldn't help but think so, feeling envious and even slightly jealous.

Yunier noticed her friend's emotions and realized she was feeling down, so she refrained from teasing further, saying softly, "If you're feeling upset, you can whisper it to me, it might make you feel better."
