Her voice was shrill and sharp, carrying across the courtyard.

Hering what the lady just said, Tyler’s eyes darkened instantly, but before he could react, the guards moved.

Without waiting for an explanation, they marched aggressively toward them.

The ground trembled slightly under their heavy boots.

Tyler instinctively stepped in front of his mother, shielding her, but the guards were already reaching out.

Rough hands grabbed his mother’s thin arms, yanking her away from him.

“Hey!” Tyler barked, fury exploding in his voice. “What do you think you're doing?! Let go of my mother now!”

But they didn’t listen.

Two of the guards shoved Tyler aside roughly while the others manhandled his mother as if she were some worthless criminal.

His mother whimpered in pain, struggling weakly in their iron grips, her frail body was no match for their strength.

Tyler's blood boiled to the point of snapping.

The guards sneered at them as they dragged his mother across the floor, their faces wrinkled i

  • Chapter 24

    Upon hearing what Tyler just said, the room remained still, Tyler’s final words echoed quietly through the golden chamber, lingering in the minds of everyone present like a weight dropped into still water.No one spoke.Then the king leaned back slowly in his throne, eyes fixed on Tylernot with anger, not with confusion, but with something deeper.He was thinking, Deeply.This wasn’t something he came across every day not in court, not in war, not in politics.A man… who had just rejected the throne.Who turned his back on royalty, power, and glory.All for the sake of a mother, It wasn’t ambition that drove Tyler. It wasn’t greed. It wasn’t pride.It was principle.And that made him different from every other man the king had seen crawl through the palace doors in pursuit of position and privilege.Tyler wasn’t trying to prove anything, he wasn’t here to win hearts or impress nobles.He had his own truth, and he followed it without hesitation.At that moment the king slowly narrowed

    The king’s words echoed loudly across the chamber, sealing a promise that none could challenge.The weight of his declaration settled heavily in the room, and all eyes instinctively shifted toward Tyler, awaiting his choice.However, before Tyler could speak, a sharp movement caught everyone's attention.The first daughter’s face twisted ever so slightly, unable to hide the sheer disgust simmering inside her.Even though she kept her chin high, and her handkerchief still pressed delicately against her nose, the disdain in her eyes spoke louder than any words.To her, Tyler was still nothing more than a filthy commoner, a man born from dirt, who didn’t deserve to walk the same halls she graced, let alone touch her hand in marriage.Even now, even after witnessing the miracle he performed, she could not bring herself to feel anything but contempt.Healing her father? So what? In her heart, Tyler was unworthy too lowly, too disgraceful to ever be considered part of her noble bloodline.A

    At that moment the heavy silence inside the royal chamber lingered like mist, The smell of expelled poison still hung faintly in the air, but Tyler showed no signs of concern.Calmly, he wiped his hands clean on a simple cloth he carried with him, then turned to Edda without hesitation.“The king is fine now,” Tyler said quietly but firmly, his voice cutting through the stunned stillness.“He will be alright.”Hearing what Tyler just said, Edda could barely breathe.He looked from Tyler to the king, then back again, struggling to process what had just happened right in front of his eyes.However the first daughter, still standing stiffly with a stunned expression, clutched her fallen handkerchief but made no move to pick it up.The second daughter, hands clasped tightly at her chest, could only stare at the king with wide, trembling eyes.No one dared to speak, no one dared to move, all they could do was watch.And then a soft, low groan echoed from the bed.The king stirred, slowly,

    However On the other hand, the second daughter reacted differently, She had been watching quietly from the moment Tyler entered, her bright, clear eyes, so different from her sister’s sharpness, softened slightly.When Tyler stepped a little closer, the second daughter—gentle and kind-hearted—nodded politely at him, It was a small, encouraging gesture.Not a grand welcome, not a dramatic acceptance, Just a simple, human, acknowledgment.Tyler noticed, But he said nothing.His focus stayed where it needed to be, On the king.The elder, seeing Tyler’s determined gaze, cleared his throat and spoke again.“My name is Edda,” he said calmly, introducing himself formally, even though Tyler hadn’t asked.He gestured slightly toward the king’s frail body.“I believe you already know the reward that awaits,” Edda continued. “If you are able to heal the king... everything has been promised to you.”His voice was steady, his words clear, but his eyes stayed fixed on Tyler, searching, weighing it

    To the right, seated in an ornate golden chair, was an older man in a deep crimson robe.His hair was streaked with gray, his posture straight despite his age.His sharp eyes, filled with calculation and weariness, locked onto Tyler the moment he entered.Without being told, Tyler could tell, he was an elder to the king’s.A man who had seen wars, betrayals, and endless power struggles, a man not easily fooled.Tyler offered the briefest respectful nod but did not pause.His gaze moved to the left—and for a moment, even he couldn't help but feel a slight jolt of surprise.Sitting a little distance away was a young woman so breathtakingly beautiful that even the somberness of the room could not dim her glow.Her skin was pale and flawless, like porcelain.Her eyes, sharp and intelligent, sparkled like cold gems.Her royal blue gown, embroidered with golden threads, flowed elegantly around her like waves of the ocean.The air around her seemed to shimmer slightly, as if even the light w

    At that moment the crowd was still buzzing with low laughter when Damien Steel arrogantly turned toward the king's chamber, intending to push Tyler aside like he was nothing.But before Damien could take another step, a calm, unhurried voice broke the tension.“Stop right there.”Everyone froze, Even Damien paused mid-step, glancing sideways with a sneer, It was Tyler.Standing tall, his clothes torn and dusty, but his presence steady, sharp, unmovable cut through the air like a blade.There was no anger in Tyler's voice.No desperation, no shouting.no need to prove anything.“I don't have time to waste with you,” Tyler said flatly, his eyes cold and unshaken.Upon hearing what Tyler just said, The crowd blinked, stunned by his calmness.Damien turned fully now, facing him, a mocking grin playing on his lips.But Tyler didn’t flinch. He didn't even seem interested in the reaction he caused.“You can talk all you want about the Supreme Forest,” Tyler continued, his voice firm, steady,

    The word was sharp, cold, and carried the weight of undeniable authority.Instantly, the mocking voices fell silent, then immediately all heads turned.Standing near the entrance, arms crossed over his chest, was a young man in elegant robes embroidered with the symbol of the Miraculous Doctor Sect.His presence commanded attention.He was tall, confident, and carried the unmistakable air of someone used to being respected—and feared.Immediately whispers started spreading quickly among the gathered healers.“That's... that's Lennox,” someone whispered in awe. “One of the top five apprentices under the Miraculous Doctor himself.”“He survived the Supreme Forest trial,” another added quickly. “He’s one of the strongest of their generation.”Lennox’s sharp gaze swept across the room, silencing even the most arrogant among them, Without sparing Tyler even a glance, he stepped forward, his voice calm but full of strength.“I will heal the king,” Lennox declared, his tone leaving no room f

    For a moment, there was silence.And then—the board pulsed with a soft, steady glow, the light wasn’t violent or overwhelming, but it was there. Strong. Stable and Pure.At that moment the official’s lips curled in disbelief.He had to fight the urge to smack Tyler’s hand away in disgust.He couldn't believe what had just happened, how could a dirty, common boy like this have healing energy?It was insulting, he glared at Tyler like he was something that needed to be swept off the street, disgusted by the fact that the rules forced him to accept this.The board had judged, the board had spoken.And no matter how much he despised it, he couldn’t deny Tyler entry without breaking the sacred rules that even he, a palace official, was bound to obey.With a sneer twisting his mouth, the official waved his hand lazily, signaling Tyler to move along.“Pass,” he muttered through his gritted teeth, as if the word itself poisoned him.However Tyler said nothing.He simply nodded and walked forw

    At that moment Tyler stood there, frozen, as his mother's tearful words echoed again and again in his mind.He could see it clearly in her eyes—the fear, the love, the desperation. She thought he was still the same helpless boy, unaware of the dangers that lurked in the shadows of this brutal world.She didn’t know, she didn’t know how much he had changed.She didn’t know the storm he was holding back behind the calmness of his eyes.But Tyler understood now, she wasn’t trying to stop him because she didn’t believe in him.She was trying to protect him.Protect him from bringing the wrath of a ruthless king upon his head.And even if it tore him apart inside, he couldn't cause her any more pain.Not today, So, slowly, Tyler exhaled and forced his body to relax.He dropped his hands to his sides and quietly took a step back.Backing away, showing no resistance, pretending, pretending to surrender, pretending to be powerless.His mother’s eyes widened slightly, and then a shaky, relieve
