"I am afraid?"
Freya subconsciously asked back: "But didn't you just say that I was very happy?"
"Happiness and fear are emotions that can exist at the same time," Adela said. "I've seen a lot of people like this in head-to-head games in casinos - they get a great hand, so they're excited and happy that they can win, but they're also worried that their opponent has a better hand, so they can't get rid of the worry and fear in their hearts."
"Happiness comes from what you already have, and fear comes from the fact that your opponent can take away what you have at any time. Freya, who are you betting with, and what are you betting on?"
"This class is boring anyway. Instead of talking to a therapist, why not talk to me? I don't charge you any money."
Freya hesitated and said, "Generally speaking, if you want to undergo psychotherapy, you should find a psychotherapist who has nothing to do with your life..."
"Yes." Adela supported her chin and looked at Freya's beautiful face: "But you are so happy, but your eyes are full of distress signals of 'save me'. I really can't just stand by and watch."
Freya gently stroked her face, slightly absent-minded for a moment.
Adela did not urge him and waited quietly by the side.
The sun is shining brightly today and the teacher’s lecture is very hypnotic.
In such a peaceful daily life, Freya seemed out of place.
Because she exuded an aura of happiness that Adela had never seen before.
Even if Adela saw a gambler in the casino turn the tables and pay off all his gambling debts, thus avoiding the fate of being forced to be transformed into a mechanical miner to dig for the rest of his life, she would not be as happy as Freya.
Even if there are students who are admitted to the Red Mist Research Institute as graduate students, it is not as easy as Freya;
Even successful entrepreneurs, magicians, professors, and scholars are not as at ease as Freya.
This is really... too dazzling.
It even made Adela feel a little disgusted, even to the point of wanting to vomit.
After a long silence, Freya finally spoke: "I know a Veela..."
"Oh, hahaha, okay, keep talking." Adela could hardly hold it back anymore.
Freya rolled her eyes at Adela angrily and continued, "She recently met a man for some special reasons..."
Because of the contract, Freya cannot reveal Ash's identity, appearance, and the fact that he lives in her apartment, but she can still reveal the information to others after blurring it out. For example, if they spend the night together, they can say that they stayed in a hotel outside; if they eat together every night, they can say that Freya went to Ash's house for dinner; for example, Freya scared Ash so much that he didn't dare to go to bed...
After talking about their interactions over the past few days, Freya finally revealed the inexplicable emotions in her heart: "I like and hate him now. I want to get close to him but also want to stay away from him. I even feel like I'm sick..."
"Isn't this easy to understand?" Adela smiled: "The Veela fell in love with him."
"No, absolutely not." Freya shook her head: "It's not like I haven't loved before. Love is about approaching, embracing, greed, and demanding. How can I hate or stay away from it?"
Adela said: "Love also has many forms, or in other words, love has many purposes. The kind of love you are used to, Freya, is only born out of appearance, and it is only passionate to satisfy desire. When you meet a better appearance, your love will also shift. For you, this kind of love is replaceable."
"And what that man brought to the Veela was not a momentary desire, but the joy of knowing each other, daily companionship, and the harmony of souls. You may meet more beautiful appearances in the past and in the future, but this is the only interesting soul you have."
"This is why the Veela feel disgusted with this love and even try to stay away from it - he is irreplaceable. What's more terrifying is that he has gradually integrated into the lives of the Veela, like a poison that penetrates deep into their bones and cannot be removed by any means."
"What an evil man! He allowed the Veela to join his life, so he also stepped into the lives of the Veela; he wanted to understand the Veela, so the Veela would also want to understand him; he relied on the Veela, so the Veela would also rely on him."
"Perhaps only a man who has completely abandoned his self-esteem, independent life, and privacy would do such a thing. Even if he has received the most basic moral education in the orphanage, he would not do such a despicable thing." Adela shook her head: "There are actually such shameless men these days, and they have successfully seduced the Veela. The Veela is really unlucky."
Freya was confused and asked subconsciously: "Then what should I do?"
"Follow your instincts, hate him, and stay away from him." Adela said softly: "If you continue like this, you will only sink into the increasingly deep love and become a different person. By then, what will lock you up is not only the man, but also all the past you have spent on him."
"You've heard this many times in the orphanage, right? 'Any relationship that makes you worried will pollute you', 'Any relationship that makes you feel wronged will hurt you', 'Any relationship that changes you will dominate you'. Everything that man did was to pollute you, hurt you, and dominate you."
Adela grabbed Freya's hand and said, "We have received so much education, but not to lose ourselves. We are born for ourselves and only for ourselves. There is no room for others."
"Do you still remember the main content of the Bloodline Prohibition Law?"
Freya murmured: "Yes... Personality freedom..."
"Yes, personal freedom, because after the bloodline is banned, the family no longer exists, and family affection and love no longer have a foundation. Everyone has cut off all the shackles in the social sense, so they can gain personal freedom."
"Maybe you value him very much in your heart now, but that is just an illusion now. Next year, next month, tomorrow, or even the next second, you may have new ideas at any time, fall in love with new people, and want to live a new life."
"This is not only for yourself, but also for the other party. After all, humans can transform more than Veela."
"Think about it, if the other person suddenly has a new idea and chooses to leave you, how would you feel?"
Thinking that the shelf life was only a few days away, Freya suddenly felt breathless and said with difficulty: "... It will be uncomfortable."
"It makes you feel uncomfortable after just knowing him for a short time. If you had known him for a few months or years, would you have twisted yourself and flattered him in order to keep him?"
"You yourself anticipated this possibility, and you yourself were worried about this future, that's why you were so uneasy and wanted to stay away from him."
"Because you want to protect yourself. You know he's a marshmallow now, but you're still afraid of getting stabbed."
Seeing Freya's increasingly pitiful expression, Adela whispered softly in her ear: "We don't need irreplaceable love."
