Something's not right.
Herbert suddenly becoming so gentle—something is definitely off.
There's absolutely something wrong here, ah ah ah!
Eliza looked at Herbert's bright and gentle smile, but felt her entire body tense up, with even goosebumps rising on her skin.
Having been "cruelly" treated by Herbert all this time, she suddenly found the sight of his smile a bit unsettling.
No, it's extremely unsettling!
Rather than believe Herbert had suddenly become kind, she preferred to believe there was some earth-shattering conspiracy behind it!
He must be plotting against me again, I absolutely cannot fall for his ruse...
She stiffened her body, allowing Herbert to carry her in a princess carry as he moved forward.
Her mind raced, afraid of falling into Herbert's trap.
But this time, Eliza was indeed overthinking it.
Herbert was simply in a good mood, and on a whim decided to reward her a little, without any intent of trapping her.
