Episode 211
Hyris exhaled a long puff of cigarette smoke with a thoughtful look on his face.
The only thing that filled her mind now was prison.
It must have been a prison castle.
I’ve only seen it in pictures, but there’s no way I can see it wrong.
The Intelligence Bureau also determined that it was clearly a prison.
She frowned slightly and sat with her legs crossed.
The appearance of the prison itself was not something that bothered me.
Poahim’s awakened person deserved to have such abilities.
What bothered me was the location where the prison castle appeared.
Ganghwa Island.
The moment I confirmed it, a bad feeling swept over my entire body.
Why is it there?
That was where he was.
“ha.”
Heiris sighed briefly and extinguished his cigarette by stubbing it in the ashtray.
I felt like I wanted to go check it out for myself right away.
However, it did not move easily.
It was because of an ominous premonition.
It was a hesitation that did not suit her at all.
Normally, she would have dismissed such premonitions as useless thoughts and not paid any attention to them.
She thought quietly for a moment, as if she had frozen.
Then, as if he had made up his mind, he bit his lower lip and stood up.
“What are you doing that isn’t like me?”
Hyris muttered.
It’s definitely not like you to be caught up in a feeling of uselessness and tremble.
Yes, it feels useless.
He is definitely Dela Gardi.
He activated the magic of Acurelust that he personally imprinted several times.
I saw it clearly with my own two eyes.
There is no clearer evidence than that. So there is nothing to worry about.
You can go check out the prison castle with a light heart.
Because that wouldn’t have anything to do with him.

“How do you bury a dead prisoner?”
Sihyeon asked.
“Those who are connected notify the bereaved family and take over. Those who are not connected are basically cremated.”
Sihyeon nodded as if she understood Chuck’s answer.
It’s makeup.
Since it is not possible to bury each person who dies, that would be an appropriate treatment.
“I hope you take care of your makeup.”
The church that housed the Heavenly Demon had already been completely destroyed.
So there was no connection.
“I understand, Lord Seong.”
Chuck answered.
Sihyeon paused for a moment and glanced at the view of the prison castle.
A huge prison where incomparably cruel prisoners are imprisoned.
And that place was not a place that had nothing to do with him, both as a party to the summons and as the lord of the castle.
No, it wasn’t that much, there was an obligation to take responsibility.
At least while the prison castle is here.
Sihyeon’s eyes turned again to Chuck and Marie standing in front.
Still, I was lucky to have these two competent and trustworthy wardens.
Sihyeon opened her mouth.
“Aren’t you asking about the former castle lord?”
“I know you went north. I was wondering why you didn’t come back, but after seeing the new lord of the castle, I think I know why.”
Marie answered.
Chuck looked like he was thinking the same thing.
As expected, it was clear that they were excellent subordinates.
Therefore, even when Poachim was away, he would have been able to lead the prison castle without any major problems.
“As I said earlier, we will provide food and water quickly.”
“Thank you, Lord Seong.”
“And I’m sorry, but as I’ve said repeatedly, I’m too busy to focus on the prison. Your role is important.”
“…Yes, Lord Seong.”
Chuck and Marie looked a little disappointed.
I understood what the situation was because Sihyeon had explained the situation sufficiently earlier, but there was still a clear difference between the prison castle where Seongju was at the center and the prison castle where the castle owner was not.
“I trust you. Please continue to do your best to manage the prison castle. Of course, I will also stop by periodically. In any case, I will spare no effort in providing all the support I can, so if you need anything, please let me know at any time.”
“I understand, Lord Seong.”
After speaking like that, Sihyeon was about to leave the prison castle.

It was right then.
“Seongju? What do you mean?”
A familiar female voice came to my ears.
It was Hiris.
For a moment, my heart sank.
My heart was beating fast and my mind became confused.
I ran into her at an unexpected time. She didn’t expect it to come to the prison castle so soon.
Sihyeon swallowed nervously and tried to find composure.
Anyway, I had some idea of how to talk to her.
However, I was just taken aback by meeting him so suddenly.
Sihyeon slowly turned around and turned his gaze to Hyris.
“Answer me. Why are you the lord of the prison castle?”
Hiris urged.
Her voice was different from usual.
I could feel the emotional tremors.
It wasn’t just the tone.
The complex emotions were clearly visible on the face.
Seeing that, Sihyeon was truly embarrassed.
It’s not that I haven’t simulated this situation in my head.
However, when I found myself in that situation, my mind was confused and I could not speak properly.
“…Let’s go to a quiet place first and talk.”
Sihyeon barely said that.
The place was not good.
First, it seemed necessary to go to a quiet place and have a calm conversation alone.
“I asked you to answer, I did.”
Hyris stared straight at Sihyeon and demanded an answer.
Sihyeon bit her lip bitterly.
“Let’s move the location first.”
“Answer me.”
“let’s go.”
“Let go of this!”
When Sihyeon held her hand, Hyris shook her hand away.
Si-Hyeon stopped like a stone for a moment due to his stubborn resistance.
he felt
That her hands were shaking.
In that trembling, her emotions came across and caused a turbulent wave in Sihyeon’s heart.
At that moment, my mind came to me.
She always treated herself with sincerity. Anytime, any time, even at this moment.
But he couldn’t do that.
Because it was a relationship that started from the beginning due to a misconception that felt like a twist of fate.
It was a relationship I had no choice but to continue because I felt like the worst would happen if the truth was revealed.
And because I didn’t know her very well.
But the closer I got to her, the more my feelings changed.
she was a good person
He was a really good person.
I felt it.
Gradually, her importance in my heart grew.
More than just a friend.
I knew it.
I definitely knew it.
I knew… .
I couldn’t express those feelings carelessly.
Because I was afraid.
I was afraid that if the relationship progressed further, something irreparable would happen.
however.
But not anymore.
Sihyeon made a decision.
It was that moment.
“How dare you be so rude to the Lord of the castle?”
Chuck, who was watching with a displeased expression as Hyris coldly shook off Sihyeon’s hand, shouted that.
As a loyal prison guard assisting Seongju, his thoughts always revolved around Seongju.
So it was natural for such words to come out.
But the problem was that Hyris’ mental state was now unstable.
In that situation, when someone he didn’t care about interrupted the conversation with Si-hyeon by saying something uncomfortable, his anger rose.
“shut up!”
She distorted her eyes and moved her left hand.
And Sihyeon sensed that her movements were unusual.
I felt a very dangerous energy for a moment.
Can not be done.
You can’t have someone you don’t have a relationship with lose their life.
As soon as he thought about it, Sihyeon’s body reacted quickly.
His body blocked the thunderbolt that was reaching out to her hand.
Cheesy!
“Ugh….”
Sihyeon gritted his teeth and barely endured the pain.
It was excruciating pain, as if every muscle in my body was torn.
I was dizzy and my vision was blurry.
Into the blurred vision came the face of Hyris, frozen in a daze as if he had been greatly shocked.
“Stand, Lord!”
“Castle Lord!”
From behind, he heard Chuck and Marie calling out to him in great panic.
Sihyeon forced himself to speak amidst the pain.
“I’m…I’m okay, so calm down and stay still….”
“….”
Only then did they become quiet.
Sihyeon’s eyes slowly moved to stare straight at Hyris.
Her eyes were shaking in a pitiful way.
“I… I….”
she muttered.
Her voice was completely dry and cracked.
“Hi… Reese….”
The moment Sihyeon opened his mouth, a thin stream of blood flowed out.
Hiris flinched when he saw that.
I reached out my hand and tried to wipe away the blood.
But Sihyeon held her hand.
Then he continued.
“I… love you. I think… no, I definitely… do….”
When I finally succeeded in saying what I wanted to say, did I feel relieved?
After saying those words, Sihyeon lost consciousness.
◈ ◈ ◈
-Thank you.
This… .
Poahim’s voice?
Sihyeon tried to open his eyes, but they wouldn’t open.
I couldn’t even open my mouth.
I had no choice but to just listen.
-Originally, her attack this time wasn’t one that could hurt you that much.
then?
-But I momentarily lowered the strength of my body. It was a very quick decision. I think that will create a situation where a dramatic atmosphere can be created.
Is that so?
Sihyeon thought to herself as if it were absurd.
-Wasn’t it helpful in the end? Now that we’re alone in a quiet place, just like you wanted, let’s finish this off.
◈ ◈ ◈
My eyes opened.
What I heard from Poachim felt like a dream, but it probably wasn’t.
Sihyeon slowly got up.
I didn’t feel the same pain as before.
“…Woke up?”
I heard Hyris’ voice.
Sihyeon’s gaze turned towards that direction.
Soon I met her eyes.
The eyes are filled with complex emotions.
Maybe his eyes were like that too.
“here is?”
“hotel.”
Hyris answered briefly and then asked.
“are you okay?”
“yes I’m fine.”
After those words, there was a moment of silence.
It was an awkward silence.
Sihyeon, embarrassed, looked away for a moment. Almost at the same time, her gaze seemed to move.
“Sorry.”
Her mouth opened again.
Sihyeon shook his head.
“No, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”
“No, it’s because of me. Because of me….”
Sihyeon got up from the bed and approached Hiris, who was mumbling to himself.
closely.
As close as possible.
“Hiris.”
Sihyeon called her.
Slowly her gaze returned to him.
“I’m sorry. I was scared. I was really scared. I was scared that you would find out the truth.”
Sihyeon revealed her honest feelings.
I was shaking.
My voice came out trembling.
Although I was trembling, my heart felt lighter than ever.
Every time I dealt with her, I felt like the shackles that were tightening my heart were being lifted.
“The truth? What truth? Stop it. I don’t want to hear it anymore.”
Hyris closed his eyes tightly, covered his ears, and stepped back.
I was afraid that something I shouldn’t say would come out.
If only I could just stay like this as if I didn’t know anything.
If I could go back to that time, it would be okay to be an idiot who was fooled by a scammer.
“Please listen.”
Even though I didn’t want to hear it, I could hear him speaking earnestly.
My heart was shaking violently with a variety of emotions.
It was so confusing.
Meanwhile, he came again and grabbed her hands that were covering her ears.
she felt
His hands were shaking slightly.
Slowly, his hand took her hand and lowered it.
Her ears opened again.
“I am….”
Sihyeon paused for a moment.
My heart was pounding harder than ever.
He continued speaking again.
“…It’s half-hearted.”
