Seeing Valentina's eyes regain their sparkle, Herbert breathed a sigh of relief, still not letting her go, as he held her seemingly slender yet strong waist and softly said:
"First of all, this hasn't really happened yet; Elda is still perfectly fine, and no one has been harmed."
He gestured around, except for the scorched grass that had been soaked with water, everything remained peaceful, as usual.
"Secondly, even if you impulsively get into trouble next time, I'll still be here to help you sort it out."
"Although I'll still punish you afterward, I will never leave you."
This isn't indulgence, but a promise.
It's the assurance that no matter how big the trouble she gets into, he will always be there to back her up.
Of course, the necessary education and "punishment" afterward will not be lacking either.
Herbert held Valentina tightly, looking into her eyes, seriously saying, "Don't worry, I'll always be by your side."
