<h4>Chapter 274: Hyrk’s Story</h4>
“Dispelling the poison will need about four hours. Nurvey you can go back to the Imperial Pce there is no reason to wait here while I treat Hyrk.”
Nurvey had already waited two hours while Yale healed Hyrk’s body and Yale already felt bad for making her wait for such a long time, so he didn’t want to make her wait more time while he dispelled the poison.
However, Nurvey shook her head and remained in the same position; she was determined to wait until the poison was dispelled before returning to the Imperial Pce with Yale and Hyrk.
There were some guards that wanted to close the gates and rest, but there was no way that they would leave Nurvey outside and close the gates unless they wanted to lose their puny lives.
Moreover, although they still didn’t know why Yale should be treated with the same respect as Nurvey or Revgen, they were truly amazed by his healing skills. Most healers would have just given up on Hyrk given the state of his injuries and the poison inside of him, and that was only in the case that they recognized the poison inside Hyrk’s body which was already difficult.
After seeing that Nurvey didn’t n to leave, Yale started to work on dispelling the poison inside Hyrk’s body.
Hyrk was conscious and could speak without problems after being healed, but he remained in silence for fear of disturbing Yale.
Four hourster, Yale sighed in relief as he used the Divine Life Eyes to confirm that Hyrk’s body was in a good state.
“You are already healed. However, you may feel a bit weak for some time.”
Hearing that Yale had ended the process of dispelling the poison, Nurvey ordered some guards to help Hyrk go into the Imperial Pce because just as Yale had said, Hyrk’s body was weak after all the pain, he had experienced.
Although Hyrk’s body didn’t have any injury, his soul had been damaged and the extreme pain he had felt made difficult for him to adapt to his healed body immediately.
Yale also returned to the Imperial Pce following Nurvey, Hyrk and the guards.
“Nurvey, I think that we should bring Hyrk to your bedroom. We need to hear what happened to him as soon as possible.”
Nurvey nodded, and then Yale immediately teleported Nurvey and Hyrk with him towards Nurvey’s bedroom where Revgen and Ange were waiting.
Revgen had heard about what had happened at the gates; if Revgen wanted it was impossible for anything that happened inside the Imperial Pce to be hidden from him.
“Sit him on this chair. We need to hear what happened to him. This has been an attempt to destroy our Imperial Family; I must learn everything about this matter.”
Revgen spoke immediately after Yale’s group appeared in the room.
“Hyrk, this person in Nurvey’s grandfather, Revgen.”
Hyrk was shocked by that because he had always imagined Revgen as an old man and the man in front of him only seemed to be around his thirties. However, he didn’t dare to say anything about that to Revgen for fear to offend him.
“Hyrk, tell us what happened to you? Who did that to you?”
After sitting Hyrk in a chair, Yale finally asked to him. In fact, Hyrk already knew that they were going to ask that because he had heard their conversation, and since telling everything to Nurvey was his original, he didn’t have any problem in reply that question.
As for the presence of Yale and Revgen, Yale had saved his life, and Revgen was someone Hyrk had always admired despite had never met him before, so he didn’t have any problem in exining everything in front of them.
“The one who did this to me is the n Head of the Hyeran n. He wanted to put a mark on my soul to make me join an organization called True Empire, but I refused. Then, they tortured me, but I still refused to let them mark my soul.”
The expressions of Revgen, Yale, and Nurvey were all cold when they heard that the n Head of the Hyeran n asked Hyrk to join the True Empire.
“After that, they tried to enve me, that was too painful, but I resisted with all my effort no matter how they tortured me.”
Yale guessed that at that point was when Hyrk’s soul got damaged.
“I am very stubborn, but when I felt that I couldn’t endure more, some men under the orders of the n head brought my little sister… she was already enved by them and obeyed every one of theirmands; they even tarnished her body…”
When he said that, Hyrk felt Yale’s cold killing intent. After all, the True Empire almost did that to Ange; if Yale had been slower, he might have experienced that same as Hyrk when meeting his sister.
“They brought her to weaken my will, but that only strengthened me, and I made an oath that the True Empire would never enve me. If I were to be enved by them, my soul would disperse. They can kill me, but they can’t control me!”
That was the reason for Hyrk wanting to die after learning that the True Empire was using him; he didn’t want to be used as a pawn for them.
An oath made by someone weak as Hyrk didn’t have any binding power, but that determination enhanced his will force to endure the torture.
In fact, when the n head noticed that Hyrk would rather die than submit, he started to beat him to death and put that poison into his body before letting him flee.
The n head decided that the worst torture for Hyrk would be dying being a pawn of the True Empire while betraying Nurvey and the Revgen Empire, even with Hyrk himself not knowing anything about the poison inside his own body.
“I was beaten until I was almost dead, you already saw how I was when I reached the Imperial Pce. At the start, I thought that they neglected me because my injuries and then I managed to escape undiscovered, but now I understand that everything was within the ns of the n Head.”
Revgen looked towards Hyrk before asking a question to him.
“How did you reach the pce. How many people walked near to you before reaching the Imperial Pce.”
Revgen was worried for the casualties provoked to the innocent people that walked near to Hyrk. On the other hand, Yale felt that Revgen’s question was stupid because anyone who had crossed paths with Hyrk had also ignored his injuries, which wasn’t different than sending him to his death due to his state, so Yale didn’t pity those people.
If someone had helped Hyrk to reach the Imperial Pce, then Yale would have also healed that person in thanks, but for the people who ignored him, he didn’t have any time to spare.
That was the main reason for Yale avoiding making that question when he healed Hyrk before.
“I didn’t meet anyone after escaping until I reached the gates of the Imperial Pce. There is a hidden passage in the headquarters of the Hyeran n leading to near the gates of Imperial Pce. I used it to reach the Imperial Pce in secret.”
Thinking about it at that moment, the fact that the hidden passage was without any guards also seemed nned to let him use it. After all, with his injuries, he would have never been able to reach the Imperial Pce by normal means.
“Impossible. There shouldn’t be any hidden passage leading to any ce near the Imperial Pce, creating one is something punished with death.”
At that moment, Revgen was sure that the Hyeran n had betrayed the Revgen Empire from a long time ago; there wasn’t any other way that they could have prepared a hidden passage that could be used to attack the gates of Imperial Pce without advice.
“I only heard that from some guards when the n Head was beating me.”
At that moment, Hyrk felt that he was truly a fool, even that conversation between guards had been nned to guide him to the Imperial Pce.
“Hyrk, how about the other members of the Hyeran n, everyone epted that mark on the soul or some people refused?”
Yale felt that it was an important point because depending on the answer there wasn’t any Hyeran n, only a True Hyeran n belonging to the True Empire.
“The n Head said that epting the mark was mandatory for every one of the members of the n. It seemed that some of the core members had already epted that mark from before, but the rest of the people only needed to have their souls marked recently. I don’t know if someone also refused to ept the mark, but they wouldn’t be better than me if they refused to ept the mark.”
