After a short silence in Planai's special cell, the poet of Great Love still did not give any response to Planai's question, "Why did you choose me?"

The black-haired green-eyed figure just smiled softly.

"Why are you laughing?"

"I remembered something very happy."

The Great Love Poet replied that Pranai had never seen a truly useless and shameful demon.

"Did I make you laugh like this?"

"It may have something to do with what you just said, but it's only ten percent."

“……”

Pranay was puzzled by the poet's answer, but he felt that the king was not really laughing at him, but as if he had somehow negated his words, making him understand that he was not a useless demon.

Finally.

"Wang, I only have one question, can we escape directly to the Southern Continent, wait a hundred years and come back, don't get entangled in the whirlpool of this Protos Empire, this is an opportunity to quickly realize our long-cherished wish right now, but the risk is too great."

Pranay did not raise his head for a long time, and said in a deep voice to the poet of great love.

"No, I can't promise you this alone, and I can't lie to you."

The poet of great love answered his question quickly and quickly.

As a result, Pranay fell silent again.

Pranay was given a moment to think, and the poet spoke again.

"Pranai, the more calculating, the more you will find that you can't win changes, even if you have the future, even the goddess of fate can't control it, otherwise there will be no resurrection church in this world, you should know this truth better than me."

The poet sat in front of Planai, his hands lightly on his knees, and muttered to himself.

"Sometimes, the closer you get to 100 percent safety, the more scary it is, doesn't it? However, you also know very well that there is no such thing as a safe place in this world, so please think about it, can you really find peace of mind by staying in this prison? ”

The figure of the poet of great love exudes a gentle and resolute temperament, and the eyes can discern the turmoil and pain in Pranai's heart.

“……”

Pranay still bowed his head and fell silent.

"Pain and challenges are inevitable in your world, but the more you cling to it, the more it deepens that uneasiness. By my side, you can lay down all your burdens, rely on me, and enjoy the sheer peace of mind of the moment. ”

The Great Love Poet continued.

"But...... If I want peace of mind, I have to let go of this attachment, but my anxiety also makes me unable to let go of this attachment. ”

Pranay's inner conflict, talking to the new king.

By the new king's side, he seemed to feel a peace that he had never felt before.

But if he agreed to the new king's words, he would also violate his own common sense, and he was afraid that too unknown theories and attempts would lead him to real despair.

"Then Pranay, tell me first what peace of mind is. When do you often experience peace of mind? ”

The poet of great love said softly.

“……”

Pranay was confused.

"I'm not sure, maybe I've never really experienced inner peace."

Pranay replied in a low voice.

"After the fall of the Demon Realm, you have been trying to find inner peace."

The poet of great love put his hands together gently, as if he had found the problem, and preached to Pranais,

"You're trying to ban desires, I can see that. The demon clan forbids their own desires, which at first glance sounds like an anti-natural behavior, but unfortunately many times it is caused by desire, isn't it precisely because of the destruction of the demon world? ”

"You want your mind to be unmoved by feelings and desires, to have a calm mind, to reach an ideal state of security."

“……”

Seeing that Pranay didn't want to speak at the moment, but wanted to listen more, the poet of great love went on again.

"Or hedonism that returns to its origins is not to hope for excessive pleasure, but to keep fed and clothed, or to maintain the most basic living conditions, to reject excessive luxury and vanity, to obtain great satisfaction from the simple life, and to obtain inner peace."

"For now, you've managed to reach both of these realms in this Helrom prison, so what? Have you ever wondered if you really feel peace of mind? ”

At this point, the poet of great love finally stopped his voice and waited for Pranay to respond.

"I can't feel it."

Pranay admitted, with a slight weakness in his voice,

"I've been miserable every day for the past 100 years, and to be honest, today is the happiest day I've ever happier."

He waited for his words to make the new king laugh again.

However, the poet of great love did not laugh this time.

He just nodded very seriously.

"It's a great thing that you can make so much effort into inner peace, and for me, what is inner peace is actually a difficult proposition, because different identities, different statuses, different things to face, inner peace will be different."

The voice of the poet of great love is gentle and powerful, and every word is full of encouragement.

"Although I have told you so much on my own initiative, I'm sorry that I also want to know what peace of mind is for you."

Even when the words stopped, Pranay seemed to hear the next sentence—

That's exactly what I want to help you achieve.

"Pranai, if you don't want to leave today, I still want to be friends with you, maybe one day we will meet again, but if you are willing to go with me, I will put you in the safest place to protect you, try not to let you fight and kill, even if you make a move, it will only make you win the situation."

The poet of great love has a very soft voice, and does not want to put a little pressure on Pranay,

"By my side, if one day there is an enemy who wants to threaten your inner peace, I must die first, and then you will come."

This time, Pranay finally looked up, looking at the figure of the black-haired and green-eyed with extremely complicated eyes.

In this endless darkness, there is always a ray of light.

He wanted to say something, to ask why the new king had done this to him, but he realized that he had already asked that question.

In the other party's emerald green pupils, his own expression was reflected, full of regret and remorse.

"You still want to ask me again, why am I obsessed with a 'useless' 'shameful' demon like you, right?"

The poet of great love was full of smiles and asked Pranay.

"Right...... I want a positive answer from you, not to comfort me again. ”

Pranai's voice was rarely resolute, as if he wanted to figure out whether he could respond to the expectations of the new king.

"Mo's desire for what you don't have, and the missing out on what you have, Pranai."

The poet of great love said earnestly,

"It's commendable that you're aware of your own crisis and want to try to fix it, but it's also important to put the same effort on a new look at what you have. You will find that finding your strengths is far more valuable than staring at your biggest shortcomings. ”

After these words, Pranay's eyes finally brightened.
