276 Hyrks Decision (1/2)

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.”
