189、Crash
"What did you say? Human Boy!" The Demon King was furious, but he held his own identity as a Demon King, so naturally he would not be able to beat and kill a child for a word, but he would still be unable to help but act in a deterrent manner.
The boy stood up against the devil's pressure without any retreat and looked at his angry face: "You don't even know that she has social phobia, do you still dare to say you know her?!"
"Social phobia, what is that?" the devil was stunned and asked at his daughter.
Ania lowered her head and said nothing.
"Have you not noticed that Ainia never talked to others and never walked out of the house alone?!" There was a kind of power surging inside the boy's body. He couldn't tell whether it was the power belonging to Ainia or the indignation that he felt unfairly. But this power supported him to keep back and say loudly under the majesty of the Demon King, "No, maybe you noticed it, but you never cared, because you didn't know what that meant at all. Maybe you were still very happy that she wouldn't cause trouble for you, right?"
The devil was silent. The boy was right. He actually noticed these things, but he never cared about them. He always believed that his daughter was not quarreling or making noise. He was a sign of being obedient and obedient and not causing trouble for adults. He didn't go out just because she liked to study quietly alone. He never thought that all children were the same. They all looked too energetic and liked to play around with their peers. No child would want to play with his peers. This is the nature of a child. If anyone violated this nature, there must be any reason to be hidden.
"It is precisely because of fear of communicating with people that Ainia finally suffered from the mental illness of social phobia. Now she finally took the first step by herself, trying to communicate with people and making friends. Now you ask her to give up all the attempts and efforts she has made and return to this turtle shell to hide?" The boy felt that he overwhelmed the Demon King in his momentum, but in fact his simple voice was just getting louder and louder.
"Is it...really, Ailee?" The devil's eyes flashed at Ania.
Ania nodded, looking a little dazed. Just like all the children in the world faced their parents, she did not want to tell them bad things to make them worry more - although she was dissatisfied with her father, she could still realize that her father was not completely ruthless to her, and naturally she could not have no feelings for her.
"Why don't you go to see a doctor?" The demons' attainments in magic are recognized worldwide. They have also achieved great achievements in spiritual-related magic. Most spiritual magicians will choose to engage in professions such as psychologists. The Demon King has a special private doctor here.
"Because I'm very scared." Ania lowered her head and whispered. Her voice was very soft. As long as there was a little other noise, it would be hard to hear. "I saw my mother being killed by a servant who had been with her for several years. At that time, I was really scared. I always felt that everyone around me would suddenly show my weapons and slash at me like the killer... Even if I knew that this idea was abnormal, how dare I go to see a doctor alone?"
Most of the time, patients with this phobia have a sense of their own situation. They clearly know that their nervousness, panic and anxiety are unnecessary emotions, but they cannot stop these emotions from appearing in any case. This is how Ania is. After the first few days of panic, Ania realized that she was wrong. She knew very well that it was impossible for everyone to be like that, but at that time, she was less than ten years old, and she could not control her feelings at will.
Of course, the most important reason is that she is insecurity. Her mother, who has always served as the protective umbrella of her entire world, died in front of her. From then on, she has to face this cruel world by herself. When she was young, she was not prepared at all, had no strength or wisdom, and no matter how talented Ania is, she cannot surpass the limitations of her age and knowledge.
"Then why don't you tell me and let me accompany you?" Demon King Kru asked a little hateful to the child.
"You..." Ania looked up at her father, shook her head and laughed disappointedly, "Sure enough, I don't remember."
"Varied--"
"Of course I have looked for you and wanted to ask you to go to the doctor with me. After all, you are my only family member after my mother was killed. Even if you never like me, I can only rely on you. Even if I am afraid that you don't like me at all, I can only choose to ask you for help... That night, after the servants fell asleep, I dared to go out of the room to find you. You have been very busy in those days, busy dealing with your mother's funeral and various government affairs, so I will go to bed until the second half of the night every day. I searched alone in the empty palace for a long time before finally finding you in your office.
The devil King Cru listened silently, trying to recall when what Ainia said happened.
"It was very windy that day. When I found you, I was already trembling with cold. When I opened the door of your office, the wind blew the documents on your desk. You looked up at me and before I could speak, you were very angry and asked me to go out. I stood at the door for a while and you let me go out again. No, I should say you asked me to get out. My mind was blank. I walked out of the door stupidly and then stood there for a long time... I can't remember how I went back to my room. I only remember the next day I had a high fever, and I had been lying in the room for three days, and cried for three days, and finally I slowly recovered from the disease."
Ainia just told the matter like a diary, but compared to the language that has been modified by many words, this kind of words without any modification are even more shocking at this time.
"Aniya..." The boy finally couldn't help it. He held Ania's hand with heartache. In fact, he wanted to hug Ania directly, but the presence of Ania's demon father made him feel jealous and his courage greatly reduced.
Ainia's words made the devil's body shake a few times. He wanted to walk forward closer to his daughter, but his feet were actually retreating.
"Since then, I have never been able to communicate with anyone normally. Everyone I see will make me feel hurt. I am afraid of leaving the room, afraid of going to crowded places, and I can't even communicate with my last relatives normally. At most, I can only be by your side without being afraid to escape. Apart from that, I don't even have the courage to speak... But you always think that I am introverted and shy, haha..."
The more Ania said the Demon King, the more she felt that she had an impression of what she said, and the more she was, the more uncomfortable he felt, because it meant that the things he had done that had a profound impact on Ania were just small things that were not worth mentioning for him, but such small things that could not even remember made Ania eventually become what she is now.
"My mother said that girls only have their own quilts and their parents' arms. But I don't have the arms of my parents to rely on. I can only hide in my room every day, crying alone in the quilt. When I was tired of crying, I could only read books, read the books related to magic that my mother left behind, and immersed in the world of one person. Gradually, I read more and more books and became more and more extensive. I learned a lot of things without realizing it. Now that I think about it, I was actually very happy during that period. Now that I can talk to people normally, it all depends on the magic that I learned to control emotions at that time."
"Sorry, Ailee." The Demon King, who had never said apologized for the first time, so it was a bit difficult to say this.
"It's okay, I'm fine anymore. Although social phobia is still there, it's at least much better than before." Ania, who said the words buried in her heart, felt as if she had taken off some burden. She breathed a long sigh and smiled at the devil.
"...Ailey, it was me before, you... If you have any grievances in the future, you can come at any time..." The devil who wanted to make up for the past, who encountered his daughter in the past still chose to say something that would make him lose his majesty when there was an outsider present, but before he finished speaking, Ainia spoke again.
"No, no need." Ania's smile was different from the past. She used to smile more like a smile than she was happy. Her face seemed to be a layer of fog and made people unable to see clearly. Now she is over the rain and the sky is clear with a bright smile. "I am no longer a child. I have passed the age of needing parents to cry and complain about grievances. No one will always be a child hiding in their parents' arms to hide from the wind and rain. I have grown up. What I need more now is my like-minded friends."
The past will never come back, and many things will never be repeated if you miss them.
The Demon King realized this again, and his great regret bit his heart like a beast, but he had no choice. He shook his body and retreated out of the room. He took a last look at the boy and understood that it was the "friend" that Ania needed now, so he opened his mouth and made a dry and hoarse voice: "Boy, be friends with Aili. If I knew that you betrayed him, I would not let you go even at the end of the world."
"Ah? Yes! I will never betray Ania." The young man was stunned. Although he didn't understand why he said that, he still answered subconsciously.
The devil closed the door and slowly penetrated into the darkness with heavy steps.
