Chapter 276: Hyrk’s Decision
Nurvey stood up and went to pass Revgen’s orders to the elders leaving the other four alone in her bedroom.
Those orders were far too important, and she didn’t dare to tell them by using any kind of token.
“Hyrk, I have something important to tell you, but before that, tell me if you are feeling anything wrong with your body.”
Yale felt that Hyrk had the right to know about the state of his soul, but he also wondered about if Hyrk was able to notice that he lacked a part of his soul or not.
“Nothing wrong besides being tired. However, although it isn’t something related to my body, I felt like if I had lost something important, but probably it is just my imagination.”
Yale was surprised that Hyrk was able to notice that he had lost something, that was good as showed that his soul was still stable despite the damage. After all, someone with an unstable soul would just feel like turning crazy at any moment, but that person wouldn’t be able to detect that there was something missing.
“Listen to me and try to not alter yourself. You are indeed missing something, a part of your soul.”
Hyrk wasn’t too knowledgeable about the soul, but he knew that having lost a part couldn’t be something good. However, he remained calm as Yale had asked him.
“You lost that part when resisting the enslavement; you are already lucky because despite having lost a part of your soul, the soul is still stable and being able to feel that you lost something is a good signal. However, that missing part of your soul will make that your training will be limited, and you can be considered half-crippled right now.”
Hyrk’s face turned gloomy, but he didn’t feel any sadness after hearing Yale’s words, his own emotions were acting quite weird since he had been healed.
“I also feel like if my emotions are acting strange, is that also due to my soul?”
Yale nodded to Hyrk’s question.
“It is related. Your consciousness comes from your soul, losing a part of your soul is losing a part of yourself; it will be impossible for you to be exactly like before. Moreover, maybe the changes are good for you in your case because if you were to lose your temper too much with a harmed soul, there is a risk that the soul would lose balance and it would dissipate at the end.”
It wasn’t a secret that Hyrk was someone short-tempered, which was something that wasn’t good for someone with a harmed soul, so the effects of losing that part of his soul were helping him.
“If you want to live a normal life, I will help you to avoid that you would be bullied by others despite your power and your background.”
Hyrk was at a good level for his age, but his training wouldn’t be smooth in the future, and he would be doomed to be looked down by others unless he had some fortuitous encounter.
Moreover, the Hyeran Clan had already been marked as a traitor, so if the Revgen Empire won the war, there wouldn’t be any Hyeran Clan among the noble clans. Not only would Hyrk lose his status as a noble, but he might also be pursued because he shared blood with the enemies of the empire.
Despite Hyrk being someone who hadn’t betrayed the Revgen Empire, it was difficult to explain for the masses because when the war would have started, they would only think that everything related to the Hyeran Clan was bad.
That was the narrow-mindedness of commoners as they would only generalize everything and couldn’t think that in the same group maybe not everyone was the same.
“What if I don’t want a normal life?”
Hyrk understood the problems he would have with a lack of power and a background that would only bring harm to him. His situation was dire because if the True Empire won, he had no future, but if the Revgen Empire won, he would have a very difficult future even if Yale helped him.
“I can help you to reincarnate; that is the only way to heal your soul. Probably you will recover all your memories after reaching the Novice Rank in your next life.”
Sadly, healing a soul was far too difficult, and even Yale and Revgen couldn’t do anything to help Hyrk without making him reincarnate.
“I will also help if you wanted to reincarnate. I can control your reincarnation a bit to ensure that you will reincarnate in a good family.”
Revgen felt that Hyrk was worth to be considered a hero for the great contribution he had made to the Revgen Empire due to avoiding being enslaved and transmitting all the information to him, allowing the Imperial Family to be prepared for the betrayal of the Hyeran Clan.
However, he couldn’t heal his soul, so helping in the reincarnation process to ensure that he would have a good next life was all he could do for him.
“Let’s forget about reincarnation for now. I want to see the end of the war with my own eyes before deciding if I want to reincarnate or live a normal life.”
Hyrk was really tempted to reincarnate, but he decided to wait until the end of the war before deciding about his future. After all, there wouldn’t be any future if they were to lose the war.
Moreover, the damage of his soul was already done, but it isn’t worsening since Yale and Revgen had given him the option of living a normal life, so he believed that there was no problem if he decided to reincarnate later on.
It was just as Hyrk had thought; since there wasn’t any risk of dissipation as long as he didn’t go crazy, Yale and Revgen didn’t mind about waiting until the end of the war before deciding his next action.
“Revgen, prepare a room for Hyrk, he will be living in the Imperial Palace from now on. Everyone should respect him; if anyone dared to mock about him, don’t blame me if I kill someone.”
Yale valued Hyrk far more than any fool of the Imperial Family who could offend him. Moreover, Revgen thought the same as Yale because Hyrk had made a great contribution to the war, so he would be extremely angry towards anyone who mocked him.
Revgen valued the Imperial Family because they were his descendants, but as an emperor, he valued more the people like Hyrk, who suffered for the sake of the Revgen Empire. Revgen had too many descendants, but there weren’t many people capable of resisting an enslavement attempt and reach the Imperial Palace to explain the plans of the enemy.
“I will order for a luxurious room to him. Moreover, I will issue an order that he would have the status of my guest, so offending him will be the same to disregarding my authority.”
Hyrk didn’t expect that Revgen would value him so much. Even in the Hyeran Clan, he was always looked down by others due to his personality, that was the first time someone of the older generation valued him that much.
“Prepare also a room for Ange and me. We will rest here today, and tomorrow we will use the portal to teleport to the Kurk Clan.”
Yale didn’t want to delay the matter of the Kurk Clan for more time, but it was already late, and Ange had awakened just a few hours ago, so he wanted to let her rest a bit more before going to the Kurk Clan.
Of course, Yale didn’t dare to leave Ange alone after she had been kidnaped and almost enslaved because given her personality, if the Imperial Family were to face any calamity while Yale wasn’t there, she would sacrifice herself to save others.
“Don’t worry; I have a room specially designed for you. The only bad point is that it hasn’t been cleaned since the day it was created because others can’t enter. However, the formations in that room are top class, even if there is some dust, I can ensure that the room will look like new after cleaning it.”
Any furniture in the rooms from important people was made timeproof, and there wasn’t any need to worry about their state after the pass of the years, but after so much time, there would be a lot of dust in the room.
“I want to see father’s room. It has been a lot of time since we sleep together and at that time, we both had all our memories sealed.”
Ange was very happy when she heard that they would sleep in Yale’s room in the Imperial Palace. She had slept together with Yale when he was just a child, but she wanted to sleep with him like his daughter like in her previous life, so it was important for her that both of them knowing the identity of the other’s past life.
Originally, Yale asked for one room for himself and another to Ange, but both Ange and Revgen misunderstood. However, since he saw that Ange looked happy, he didn’t mind sleeping with her because he was already used to that thanks to Aiwai.
