Episode 124
Si-hyeon herself was dumped by her ex-lover so harshly that she thought it was too much.
Maybe that’s why the word “abandoned” caught my ear.
But I still didn’t know if what she said was true.
I thought I would have to watch the situation a little further to find out.
Sihyeon opened his eyes wide and his ears.
The relationship between Hiris and Delagardi.
It’s natural to feel curious, but for some reason, it bothered me.
It seemed like it wasn’t just because they were people not related to Poachim.
“Hiris, you seem a little too excited right now. It would be best to talk about it later when your emotions have calmed down.”
Delagardi spoke calmly, as if persuading her.
Hyris smiled with that cold smile.
But in that coldness, I felt a deep sadness.
“That’s right. I’m excited. But what can I do? How could I not be excited about my situation right now?”
“I’m sorry, Hyris. I really have nothing to say for hurting you so much.”
Delagardi apologized.
It was not an apology to avoid the situation.
There was sincerity in those words.
However, it was not a situation that could be calmed down with such an apology.
“I don’t want to hear you say sorry anymore!”
Hyris covered his ears, shook his head vigorously, and shouted.
“Every time I hear that from you, it makes me feel like I’m a bad bitch and she’s a good bitch!”
“….”
Delagardi was silent with a heavy face.
“Tell me! Why did you abandon me and choose that bitch?”
“that….”
Before Delagardi could reply, countless ice arrows appeared in the air.
It was a magic that even Vision had seen before.
So I knew that its power was enormous.
Miriam, the female knight who was watching from behind, saw this and her expression momentarily stiffened, but did not move.
No one knew better than her how strong her master was.
“Don’t do this, Hiris.”
Delagardi said with a bitter expression, and the woman hid behind him with a scared look on her face.
“why!”
As Hyris let out a passionate cry, hundreds of ice arrows rained down on the woman like a downpour.
At that moment, the Acurelust was pulled out of its own accord and placed in Delagardi’s hand.
And he swung it sideways once.
It seemed like a simple cut without much force.
However, with that slash, all of the ice arrows were shattered without leaving a single one.
Sihyeon’s expression became dumbfounded.
I have used the sword of the Sword Emperor several times.
My life was saved twice because of that sword.
Because it was such a good sword, I naturally wondered just how skilled its owner was.
But when I saw it in person, I was speechless.
To destroy that incredible magic with just one cut… .
It was not for nothing that the crazy murderer, the Human Butcher, cowered in surprise when he saw the sword of the Geomje.
“Again! Again! Does that bitch trigger your protective instincts like that? Do you want to protect her that much?”
Hyris shouted with a pained face.
I pulled out my hair with my hands.
Then he suddenly collapsed and threw himself on the floor.
He kneeled down.
“Please… Deli, I was wrong. I was so wrong. Tell me what I did wrong. I will fix it. I will fix it right away, so come back to me. Please….”
She pleaded in a sorrowful voice.
Sihyeon felt bad when she saw that.
Looking at the current situation, what Hyris said about being abandoned may be true.
Her work didn’t feel like anything else.
How distressed was he when his former lover, Sujin, suddenly stopped responding to him and continued to avoid meeting him.
The moment she was informed of the breakup from her lover, she must have felt tremendous shock and extreme pain.
She is an archmage.
Even if I didn’t know much about this world, I could guess that her social status was enormous.
She is like that, throwing away everything, including her pride, and getting down on her knees and begging in front of others.
It was something I could never have done if I didn’t truly love passionately.
“Please calm down and wake up, Hyris. You didn’t do anything wrong. Nothing….”
Delagardi didn’t seem comfortable seeing his former lover like that.
He wanted to go up to her and help her up, but he seemed to be holding back because he was worried about the safety of the woman behind him if Hyris attacked again during that time.
“Wrong…. You didn’t do anything wrong? Then why?”
Eventually, tears began to flow from Hyris’ red, bloodshot eyes.
“You said you loved me! You said you loved me… You told me you loved me! But why!”

Delagardi bit his lip with shaking eyes.
Then he spoke in a voice full of complex emotions.
“I’m so sorry. I thought I loved you too, but I realized I was mistaken.”
“Illusion…? What do you mean? It’s not an illusion! You love me! You love me!”
‘Whoa, this is so… .’
Sihyeon slowly walked away because it was no longer awkward and uncomfortable to watch the ex-lovers having a passionate conversation.
Delagardi also did not say anything about his friend’s behavior this time.
It wasn’t a worthy situation.
He walked to the garden gate where Hyris had entered earlier.
Miriam, the royal palace, was standing there.
I was just passing by when she spoke to me.
“Lord Seong, today’s promise remains the same…?”
‘what?’
Sihyeon looked puzzled.
I felt her face turn a little red.
… Does this woman have feelings for Poachim?
It was natural to think that way because his face was completely different from the expressionless expression he had when dealing with Hiris.
Anyway, I thought there was such a thing as a promise and just passed it on.
But you’re not a jailer but a castle lord?
He was calling himself by a title that did not suit Poahim.
Sihyeon was curious about what that meant and was about to ask.
My body suddenly felt like it was floating.
Along with that, I became dizzy and lost consciousness.
The moment I placed my hand on the wall next to me to support my body, darkness enveloped my eyes.
◈ ◈ ◈
“Huh… what, what?!”
Sihyeon opened her eyes and screamed.
An unfamiliar ceiling appeared in my field of vision.
When I came to, the first thing I felt was that it was so cold.
I felt extremely cold and my body trembled.
“I finally came to my senses.”
A deep male voice was heard.
Sihyeon struggled to get up, shaking from the cold.
A large man was sitting in front of me.
“Huh….”
Si-hyeon, seeing the man’s face, moaned involuntarily.
The face of a vicious murderer was there.
I have seen many violent criminals so far, but this was the first time I saw a face as cruel and vicious as that man.
It seemed like most people would be so scared that they wouldn’t even make eye contact.
But that scary face somehow felt familiar and friendly.
… Are you crazy? Have you finally gone crazy?
Sihyeon shook her head with a puzzled look on her face.
“I wanted to meet you.”
said the man.
“…Do you know me?”
“Prison guard Lee Si-hyeon. And my awakened person.”
Upon hearing those words, Sihyeon’s eyes opened wide in surprise.
no way?
Sihyeon quickly lowered his head to check his body.
I’m back.
It had returned to its original body.
Sihyeon’s gaze turned towards the man again.
That body… .
Okay, I understand.
This is the body he was using until now.
then.
“Poahim?”
Sihyeon spoke out the thoughts that came to her mind.
“Yes, I am Poahim.”
The man said yes.
Sihyeon was speechless.
I felt like I had a lot to say, but perhaps because I was suddenly in this situation, I couldn’t think of what to say.
There was silence for a moment because Poachim didn’t speak up first either.
“…Am I dead?”
Only after some time had passed did Sihyeon break the awkward silence.
That was the first thought that came to mind.
Since I woke up, I have never faced Poahim like this, not even in my dreams.
So, I felt like something was not normal right now.
“No, I almost died, but I didn’t die.”
Sihyeon sighed in relief after hearing Poahim’s answer.
“I’m so glad you didn’t die.”
“I’d like to know.”
“yes?”
“You want to know what happened after you lost consciousness.”
Anyone who knows Poachim will be shocked to see him talking now.
He was rumored to be a very quiet man.
But everyone who knew him knew that it was more than just a rumor.
The only time he spoke at length was when dealing with a prisoner or when conversing with his close friend Delagardi.
“I want to know.”
“Okay. I’ll show you what I see.”
As soon as Poahim said that, a message window appeared in front of him.
[Poahim delivered you an image from his memory.]
What is this… ?
It looked like a screen from a frozen video.
Inside, he was covered in blood, having been pierced through the chest by a man’s hand.
It stopped in that state.
Looking at that image sent goosebumps down my spine, even though I knew he wasn’t dead.
… How can I see it?
The moment Sihyeon touched the screen, time passed in the video.
◈ ◈ ◈
“This is what happened….”
Sihyeon muttered, biting her lip with an expression of disbelief.
He was almost dead. He was almost on the verge of death.
But at that moment, a woman intervened.
It was Hiris.
If it weren’t for her, I would definitely have died. He had already saved her life twice.
At this level, it really wasn’t an ordinary relationship.
“What… did she feed me?”
Sihyeon asked with a slightly embarrassed expression.
While I was unconscious, she kissed me and gave me what she chewed with my tongue.
I know it was an act to save my life, but I couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
“It’s the fruit of the World Tree.”
Poahim answered.
“The fruit of the World Tree?”
“It is a treasure that cannot be duplicated in the world. It is a fruit that can save the life of anyone other than the dead. That saved your life.”
“I can’t believe there was such a thing in this world….”
“Do you know what it means to use such a treasure on you?”
Poahim asked a question.
“That… mistook me for Geomje….”
Coincidentally, at that time, he was not holding Poahim’s guard but rather Acurerats.
It was basic common sense that what was brought to the inventory upon awakening were items used by the original owner in the other world.
So, Hiris could have been mistaken after seeing Acureluts.
“Yes, she was mistaken. So what do we do now?”
“I think I should tell you the truth.”
He is a benefactor who saved my life twice. He wouldn’t be able to keep deceiving him anyway, but deceiving someone like that wasn’t a human thing to do.
“Whatever you do is up to you, but I have one piece of advice.”
“What advice?”
“Hiris hates me to death.”
“yes?”
Sihyeon made a puzzled face.
Hyris, whom we met in Poahim’s body earlier, did not seem to have any special hostility towards Poahim.
“I think I know why she’s making that expression. You met her in my memory earlier, right?”
“…Did you know? The girl I met there didn’t seem to have any hostility towards you…”
The title ‘Senior’ came out naturally from Sihyeon’s mouth.
“It was like that at the time. But Hyris found out later. It was because of me that he met her for the first time.”
“What is that?”
“She was a prisoner under my care. A very exemplary prisoner. And then her friend came to visit….”
uh?
Suddenly Poachim’s words sounded distant.
The world was spinning.
I was listening to something important, but suddenly… .
◈ ◈ ◈
“omg…!”
Sihyeon opened his eyes for the third time.
The white ceiling that looked like a hospital room caught my eye.
