His voice slightly trembled for the first time as the Purge King, for in front of him was an individual that could make him feel anything other than animosity.

"I'm relieved, Subaru...it turned out I can meet you properly."

"..." The Purge King was left silent if not dumbfounded. He was confused on why she was acting all nice to him considering that she is out, most likely because of the other Subaru's actions. He got up with her help while he also said:

"Why..."

Deep in his thoughts he pondered:

'Why are you being nice to me! Do you have Stockholm Syndrome or something? Are you daft, or just dumb. Why don't YOU HATE ME?!'

"Hm? Why what?" Emilia asked as she wasn't sure what the Purge King was trying to ask.

"Why are you here?" The Purge King said in a calm and gentle voice, not wanting to harm someone he can see the colors of, yet his inner thoughts went wild as to what was happening. Not wanting to relinquish the feelings he still possesses, of a chance encounter and a girl with a heart of gold.

Emilia could only smile at him while giving a calm and happy response:

"I came to see you, of course, you dunderhead."

His eyes briefly shook as he analyzes the situation, then replies:

"...what is Puck up to?"

"Puck is...Mm-hmm, that story is, well..." Emilia was hesitant since she herself can't explain what Puck is up to, she honestly isn't sure and she doesn't want to trouble the person she is obsessed with in such a trivial manner. The Purge King took notice of this yet he didn't really care at this point. He knew that it was a matter of time until Puck turned on him. He briefly thought:

'Another enemy to consider for the brief future.'

Once upon his feet, he was prepared to go back to his office until he heard something that he never expected from Emilia.

"Subaru, let's run away together. If it's now or never, nobody will be chasing after us."

"...run away, with...me?" The Purge King spoke in a dumbfounded manner, he was troubled by the course of events transpiring. This never should've happened. He was disturbed by the idea that the woman he kept as a bird in a gilded cage said something Emilia was a bit annoyed by.

"Yes! There is someone outside. I am not saying something strange, you know."

After letting out a little anger, Emilia poked the Purge King's nose with a finger. This bizarre act caused the Purge King to question everything. He had expected Emilia to hate him after having forced her into being locked up or harbor some kind of resentment towards him.
