"Then why did you say such things back then..." I had previously mentioned to the Grim Reaper about helping the Demon Emperor awaken the demon race.
"It was Purple Seal; he never gave up, yet still couldn't see through it."
"I don't know why, but I always feel that Purple Seal's aura is strange." Although Purple Seal had already disappeared, I still thought it necessary to clarify things with Ink Seal.
"…Purple Seal was poisoned by the King," Ink Seal said calmly.
"Poison? What kind of poison?"
"It's not the kind of poison you understand; it's a belief that implants itself deep within the soul like a nerve."
"What does that mean?"
"Most of the demon race has already succumbed to their demonic nature."
"Ah?" I was completely thrown off by Ink Seal.
"It means our race has been thoroughly demonized and has lost all those initial beauties. Now we are despised and rejected by the three realms, even sealed away in a dark and filthy corner. Yet they cannot change; that ugliness cannot be hidden behind any beautiful facade."
"Does your King really intend to let the demon race continue down this path? There will be no way out."
"…The reason the demon race has become what it is now is because of the King," Ink Seal sighed, as if he had expended a great deal of effort convincing himself to accept this truth.
"Does she still not give up on her delusion of conquering the three realms?!"
"…" Ink Seal shook his head, his gaze drifting to the side, but it was very hollow.
"Are you and Purple Seal the key to her awakening the demon race this time?"
"Not really, we are just expendable pawns, but Purple Seal took it seriously, ha ha."
"How do you know that? Why don't you persuade Purple Seal?!"
"Xi Meng, you are thinking too simply. Perhaps, Purple Seal and I are not without value. We are merely pawns meant to mislead, while the one who can truly help the king is not here."
"What? Is there someone else helping the Demon Emperor awaken?!"
"Then what you said earlier about opening a breach here to join forces with the Demon Emperor was also a lie?"
"No, there is indeed a weak point here, and doing so wouldn't be detrimental to the king. However, if the person I mentioned earlier is truly helping the king, then everything would be much simpler for him."
"So, does the Grim Reaper know about this?"
"Maybe soon."
"Who is the person you mentioned earlier?"
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you, but he is an anomaly. I know his heart must be wavering at this moment..."
"So, he might not necessarily help the Demon Emperor?"
"Ha ha, that depends on you."
"Depends on me?"
"Be careful of those around you; that's all I can say."
"Ink Seal, are you content with this and doing nothing?" I probed, still uncertain about his choice.
"No, I have one final mission. Once I complete it, perhaps I will finally be free."
"Finally, answer me one question: do you still pledge your loyalty to the Demon Emperor?" I looked sincerely at Ink Seal; this question was both useful and useless.
"I just hope the demon race can return to its original state. I don't want to carry those unbearable words and live forever in darkness. As a member of the demon race, I will always be loyal to the king, but I do not agree with her ideas, so I can only stay here."
"Alright, I understand. Ink Seal, we will be eternal friends."
Ink Seal shook his head and said softly, "Let's go. There are missions waiting for you."
"Goodbye." I waved my hand and smiled.
...
Alone, Ink Seal gazed into the distance, as if recalling something, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, his expression calm.
"Child, I never wanted to hurt you." A voice came from behind, carrying a rare gentleness.
"I understand, Grim Reaper."
"Sigh, you still need to help her complete the path ahead."
"I will."
"Are you not regretful? Her wishes have nothing to do with you?"
"Heh, isn't that the real her? I will respect every choice she makes..."
"Now everything is slowly coming to light; the three realms are no longer peaceful."
"I will do my best to stop her."
"What? Even now you still can't see the true face of the Demon Emperor?"
"Only by seeing clearly can I stop it, but she is still our queen."
"If you are truly determined, I cannot save you."
"I envy Purple Seal for choosing to stay that way."
"Yeah, hahaha, who would have thought that in the end, he was the one who thought it through the most."
"Sigh, but he left me with a big problem."
"Hah, what can you expect? You are brothers after all! Overthinking everything!"
"However, Xi Meng is really outstanding."
"Of course, just look at who she is related to."
"Hahahahaha..."
...
How long can this temporary tranquility last? The real battlefield is about to emerge.
