"Then why would you do such a thing..." Noel stopped breathing mid-sentence.

Nia's eyes looking back at her unwaveringly struck a chord in Noel's heart: "We are scholars. For the sake of curiosity, we can even use our own lives as experimental subjects."

"That's stupid. What if Keping dies?"

Nia glanced at Kepin first, and then slowly turned her gaze back to Noel: "At that time, I will die with him."

"Not even Raila?"

Nia nodded: "If we die, Raila will be free. Although we will feel lonely, in exchange, my property will be given to Raila, and the procedures have been completed."

Noel looked at Raila hesitantly. Raila's expression didn't change, but there seemed to be a hint of sadness in her eyes as she stared at Nia.

Noel bit his lip and slowly looked at Kaiping: "I don't want to. I hope Kaiping can always be with you. By your side. Because he is my benefactor."

Nia cast a surprised look at Keping, who looked at Noel silently. Nia thought for a moment, "In that case", and held Noel's hand.

"Please protect him. Protect Kaiping. I also hope to be with Kaiping forever. To this end, I will try my best to minimize the risk. I also plan to consider countermeasures with Kaiping for this matter."

Noel lowered her head, and Ryan, who had been silent, patted her shoulder.

What caught Noel's eyes as he watched was Leoso's face, which was smiling despite being disgusted.

"Despite what scholars think, we too sacrifice our lives for commissions or assignments. Something like that. And—"

Ryan looked at Nia and Kepin.

"-No matter how much I say to these two guys, they won't change."

Nia smiled at that.

"You're so understanding, Ryan."

Ryan deliberately avoided looking, and Noel sighed: "No matter what you say, it's useless." She lowered her head, but finally smiled.

At this time Kaiping spoke: "When it comes to the soul, it is indeed very difficult. It goes against scientific principles."

"There are many things that make research subjects unstable." Nya replied, crossing their arms with Kepin and whispering.

“Is anyone studying the soul and publishing a paper?”

"...By the way, Mr. Lantz doesn't seem to have conducted such research." Nia suddenly raised her head in surprise.

"Yes, that's right! At that time-"

While speaking, she suddenly lowered her head.

"That's gone. I still remember it, but it's not a very good thing."

Noel was confused when he suddenly switched to the topic of research when he had been talking about a completely different topic.

At the same time, Ryan raised his head: "I heard from Renault that Grimm published a paper on monster souls in the past."

Nia and Keping looked at Ryan at the same time.

"What!? This is something I don't know about!?"

"Can you elaborate on that matter!?"

Ryan flinched slightly: "Well, I'm not sure. It seems to be a servant of the past 'Devil King' or something like that."

"Besides," Ryan continued, "he's right here. Ask him."

Nia and Keping looked at each other and hurriedly prepared to leave. In an instant, Kaiping tried to stand up, but Noel held down his shoulders.

"Mr. Kaiping hasn't recovered yet."

"No, but—"

Noel tried to push him away, but couldn't resist the force. He looked up and saw Noel's smile.

"No, that..."

Smiling and getting stronger. A strange pressure loomed.

"...Okay." Kaiping could only nod.

Nia smiled bitterly when she said to Kepin, "I'm going to find Grim."

"Please," Keping replied.

An, who was present, could only smile and observe, turning his gaze to Aoun, with a real sadness welling up in his heart.

The house is very noisy. Not only that, but the voices of people working hard for the village's revitalization came from all directions. Leonardo sat on one side, dozing off slightly with a noisy lullaby.

"If you want to rest, you must take a good rest. It is not good for your health." The voice sounded, and Leonardo suddenly woke up and found that Ruth was already sitting next to him.

"Ah, I'm sorry. It's hard to recover from fatigue." Leonardo said, and Ruth handed him a cup of hot tea.

Leonardo took the cup: "Thank you."

"Both of us are old enough to retire."

"Yes." Leonardo tasted the tea and muttered softly, "It tastes good."

Ruth looked at him and smiled: "Is that stupid son okay?"

"Please call him King."

"A stupid son is a stupid son. He didn't even inherit the merits of the former king."

"What are you talking about-" Leonardo wanted to retort, but stopped midway and sighed: "The castle is currently busy preparing for the princess's announcement."

"Oh, finally."

"In a situation like this. The country is going through tremendous turmoil."

Ruth was silent.

After finishing speaking, Leonardo also remained silent, and silence flowed among the noise.

"We're not retiring anytime soon."

"Yes." Leonardo smiled bitterly and tasted the tea again.

At this time, Ruth gently touched Leonardo's left hand on his knee. Leonardo looked over, and Ruth's eyes scanned the surroundings.

"Yesterday, I forgot to say." Ruth whispered, "I'm so glad you came."

"Why, have you become frank today?"

Ruth glared at him. Leonardo quickly looked away.

However, "Of course." He whispered, "For the woman you fall in love with, you will not be afraid to sacrifice your life."

Ruth said nothing and gently held Leonardo's hand. Leonardo looked up at the sky and listened to the commotion around him. The sound is vibrant and warm.

"A peaceful world is really difficult to achieve."

Ruth sneered: "Of course. Human beings like to fight, and history has proven this."

"Yeah..." Leonardo whispered sadly, turning his gaze downwards.

Even without fighting the current monsters, there is still conflict and fire all over the world. It is a product of human desire, and history has spoken of it.

If the world really ushered in a moment of true peace, it might be when human beings lost their desires.

Suddenly, Leonardo raised his head.

"Ruth, what exactly is 'The Devil'?"

Ruth replied, "Well, I don't know that."
