Episode 168
finished.
Everything.
When I thought that, I felt connected to my body again.
“Huh….”
Sihyeon let out a rough breath and fell to her knees on the floor.
The pain in my body from being severely beaten by Arthur was clearly conveyed.
In addition, I felt a tremendous pain, as if someone was strongly grabbing and squeezing my heart.
In pain, my chest felt tight and I couldn’t breathe.
It was difficult to maintain even slight breathing.
Sihyeon was barely able to support her falling body with both hands on the floor.
My whole body was shaking.
My mind became increasingly blurry.
As my consciousness rose, my sense of reality disappeared.
Everything that had happened so far felt like a dream.
I heard the footsteps of someone approaching quickly from the other side.
-Please take good care of Poahim.
The Geomje’s intention was heard.
It didn’t sound like he was talking to himself.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Miriam’s answer was heard.
‘… Right… .’
Sihyeon felt the strength in his hands go away.
thud!
Immediately, the sharp pain of my head colliding with the ground hit me.
However, despite the pain, his mind did not awaken.
In fact, it became more disheveled.
“Castle Lord!”
As he felt Miriam’s hand approaching, Si-hyeon finally let go of his consciousness.
◈ ◈ ◈
Suddenly I came to my senses.
what… ?
There was no way I could suddenly come to my senses in that state.
Sihyeon blinked and quietly looked at the ceiling.
It’s not a hospital ceiling. It was a ceiling I had seen somewhere before.
This place… .
Sihyeon sat up with his eyes wide open.
As expected, I saw the man in front of me. He is a large man who looks more vicious and vicious than any other violent criminal.
“You worked hard.”
Poahim said softly.
“Poahim….”
Sihyeon stared at Poahim with an ambiguous expression.
I even felt a feeling of resentment earlier.
But when I actually met him, I was speechless, as if I didn’t know what to say.
Sihyeon stayed silent for a moment and eventually opened her mouth again.
“No way… I’m not dead, right?”
It was difficult when the Sword Emperor was first summoned, but this time, he summoned him into his body and used all his strength.
Naturally, the burden felt on his body after his soul left was on a different level.
Sihyeon felt the pain of death almost before losing consciousness.
“He’s not dead.”
“Phew… that’s a good thing.”
Sihyeon sighed in relief after hearing Poahim’s answer.
To be honest, it was a risky adventure, but luckily it seemed to have a happy ending.
Si-hyeon, who had calmed down his worries, looked at Poahim and opened his mouth again.
“But why didn’t you help me when I was in danger of dying?”
“Eagles raise their young strong.”
“….”
Sihyeon looked dumbfounded at Poahim’s answer without hesitation.
So something.
… Are you saying that you are growing strong now?
I felt like I wouldn’t be able to get the bones out of it if I raised it stronger just twice.
“No… But shouldn’t you give me some life-saving technology?”
“Every single skill I gave you is a great skill.”
“…yes?”
Of course, it’s useful, but I don’t think it’s worth praising yourself that much… .
“but.”
Poahim cried out with an unknown face. Sihyeon stared at Poahim.
Poahim continued.

“No matter what means I used, I was very satisfied with defeating the Little King this time.”
“yes….”
He said he liked it very much, but his face was expressionless. So it seemed as if she was saying something she didn’t even mean to say.
The vision I heard gave me a somewhat uneasy feeling.
Poahim continued to say what he wanted to say without paying any attention to Sihyeon’s reaction.
“So, I’ll give you something special. My secret skill.”
“Um… yes?”
Contrary to what he said, he said with an expression and voice that there was nothing special about it, and Si-hyeon belatedly realized what he meant and reacted.
I opened my eyes wide and stared at Poachim as if I couldn’t believe it.
“…Secret technique?”
“That’s right. If you have this skill, you won’t get hit by someone in a one-on-one fight.”
No, simply not getting hit is not enough.
We should be able to beat it from here.
Plus, it’s not a majority, it’s limited to one to one… ?
Sihyeon stared at Poahim with eyes that seemed somewhat distrustful.
Then suddenly he opened his mouth.
“Hey, senior Poahim.”
“Something?”
“Senior, are you strong?”
Without realizing it, I asked that directly.
Poahim began to answer again without hesitation.
“I am….”
uh?
Suddenly Poachim’s voice was no longer heard.
Oh my, what else?
Are you regaining consciousness again in the part you want to hear?
Sihyeon wanted to hold on to his mind somehow, but his consciousness slipped away again.
◈ ◈ ◈
… here is?
Sihyeon, who came to his senses, rolled his eyes and looked around.
It seemed like a hospital room.
That too, solitary confinement.
However, it seemed like he was still American, as there was a notice written in English on the wall of the hospital room.
Crash.
At that time, there was the sound of the hospital room door opening.
Sihyeon’s gaze turned towards that direction.
What came in was a tall woman, Miriam.
Sihyeon and Miriam’s eyes met.
“You’re awake.”
Miriam approached Sihyeon with a bright face.
Sihyeon also smiled and nodded.
“How are you feeling?”
“hmm….”
In response to her question, Sihyeon began to check the condition of her body.
I tried lifting the arm that didn’t have an IV in it and turning it around.
There was no special pain, as if the tremendous pain at that time was a lie.
“It’s a lot better.”
“Fortunately, the.”
Miriam said that and sat down on the chair next to the hospital bed where Sihyeon was lying.
She continued.
“It’s been a week.”
“Is that so?”
Sihyeon looked a little surprised.
When he suffered fatal injuries in the Ganghwado disaster, he only lost consciousness for two days.
Of course, at that time, there was help from a rare spirit called the fruit of the World Tree.
Anyway, it seemed like his condition was worse than I thought since he was unconscious for a week.
“What happened to my group?”
Sihyeon asked as if an idea suddenly occurred to her.
“I went back.”
Miriam answered.
I was already scheduled to return in a week.
However, an unexpected situation occurred where one of the group members lost consciousness and was in the hospital.
In such a situation, there was no way he would just go back without anything happening.
Miriam seemed to have read Sihyeon’s thoughts and continued to explain.
“It is said that Lord Seong was injured in an unexpected accident while taking a walk. I spoke directly to the Director of Corrections and the people there took care of it well, so there will be no suspicion.”
“…okay.”
It seems that Miriam took care to clean up after him while he was unconscious.
Well, he seems to be an unusually strong person among the S-class, so he’s probably in a position to handle that much.
“But… what about the Sowang and his men?”
Sihyeon asked, frowning slightly.
I felt a little better when I killed the king begging for his life by blowing off his head.
Still, that dirty feeling from when I got hit still remained.
“Moving secretly was actually poisonous to them.”
Miriam answered with a cold smile.
“What do you mean?”
“They’re missing, they.”
“Good.”
Sihyeon nodded as if he understood what I meant.
They approached secretly, even using teleportation, to secretly eliminate themselves and Miriam.
In addition, he was completely blocked from the attention of those around him using illusion magic.
So what happened there, no one knows except those involved.
If Miriam had completely destroyed not only their bodies but all traces of them, their whereabouts would have been up in the sky.
Anyway, it was just a good thing that I wouldn’t have to worry about them in the future.
“The Lord of the castle will have nothing to worry about.”
Miriam said.
“Ah, but is it true that I am Poahim…?”
Sihyeon asked as if remembering something that bothered him.
“I’m the only one who knows. If I knew, there’s no way it would be this quiet.”
She answered right away.
“Thank goodness.”
This time, with Arthur, Miriam, and Max finding out that he was Poahim, I thought that his identity would inevitably spread throughout the United States.
Even if you verbally asked to keep it a secret, that is just a promise that cannot be completely trusted.
However, things turned out in an unexpected direction, and all those who knew that they were Poahim lost their lives.
Except for one person.
And that one person was more trustworthy than anyone else.
So much so that the Geomje asked her directly to ask for him.
“…Thank you, Lord Seong.”
Miriam, who was quietly staring at Sihyeon, suddenly spoke.
“yes?”
“Thanks to the Lord of the castle, my wish came true.”
Even though I was a soul, I met Geomje and even had a short conversation.
That was what it said.
“ah.”
Si-hyeon realized what he was saying and his face became a little bitter.
Because her expression looked somehow sad.
But that expression quickly disappeared.
She got up from her seat.
“His Majesty Kaiel has asked me to take care of the Lord of the Seonglord. So, I would like to serve the Lord of the Seonglord by his side. However, the situation is not conducive. If I serve the Lord of the Seonglord, the Lord of the Seong will definitely receive attention from the United States. Lord of the Seong.” “I think you should avoid that for the sake of your peaceful daily life.”
“What you have already done is overwhelming. I am just grateful.”
Sihyeon slightly lowered her head with a smile on her face.
“What are you saying?”
Miriam knelt down on one knee and offered a knightly salute to Sihyeon.
The sight wasn’t strange at all, and rather, it felt like the nobility of a high-class knight.
Sihyeon didn’t know how to react, so he just looked at her awkwardly.
She got up again.
“If you feel you have fully recovered, please contact us at any time. We will book a flight for you right away.”
“thank you.”
“Then take a good rest.”
she went out
The hospital room became quiet again.
Sihyeon stared blankly at the ceiling for a moment. It still didn’t feel real.
I couldn’t believe that I came to the United States for training and experienced so much in such a short period of time.
As Sihyeon shook his head, the refrigerator appeared in his eyes.
Sihyeon slowly got up from the hospital bed, opened the refrigerator, took out some cold bottled water, and drank it.
Only then did I feel like I was coming back to my senses.
And because Miriam suddenly came in, I remembered one thing I had forgotten.
“It’s a secret technique….”
Poachim himself said so, so it can’t be a trivial technique.
Sihyeon opened the skill window with deep anticipation.
“what?”
Sihyeon widened his eyes as if he had discovered something.
One inactive skill marked with ‘???’ has disappeared. No, it didn’t disappear, but seeing that the skill had increased by one, it seemed like the inactivity had been lifted.
‘Prisoner’s Brand?’
Sihyeon tilted her head and pressed the skill to bring up a detailed explanation.
“This….”
Sihyeon’s eyes widened.
