Herbert ultimately ended up acting like a human.
Though he felt somewhat regretful, he didn't push the coffin lid back to clamp down on Eliza's tongue.
Instead, he extended his finger forward slightly, just enough for the blood to drip onto Eliza's tongue.
Seeing how hard she had tried, he decided to accommodate her.
After all, Eliza's essence blood indeed provided him with some abilities, so there's no need to default on this agreement.
Drip.
When the first drop of essence blood landed on her tongue, Eliza's body shook entirely.
This taste...
This taste!!?
Eliza could no longer care about anything else. She almost stuck herself to the gap, stretching her tongue desperately, trying to wrap around Herbert's finger.
But the distance was too far, she couldn't reach it no matter how hard she tried.
After several failures, her excitement turned into complete indifference to her image, as she started pleading:
"Give...me! Give it to me!!!"
"I'm begging you!"
"Give me it!"
