Valentina didn't consult Herbert about her actions at this moment.
She actually couldn't quite understand why she wanted to do this.
But the instinct in her blood told her she should make such a declaration!
If there's a treasure that not only you like, but others covet as well... eat it first, and then announce it to the world.
Valentina wasn't sure what Philia thought of Herbert, but the intimacy between the two in the dance hall that day gave her a great sense of crisis.
She felt that the treasure about to fall into her lap was about to be snatched away.
Sound the alarm!
Someone's trying to raid my home!
So Valentina decisively took action.
With a tough and bold stance, she directly reversed the roles and devoured Herbert first—and then ate him for ten days straight.
Delicious, love it, eat more!
After her "appetite" was completely satisfied, she reluctantly released Herbert and brought him back to the Frost Crystal.
