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 the the mysterious young man truly have the ability to do what none of the others could? Would he be the miracle this kingdom so desperately needed? there was a heavy pause.
The first daughter lowered her gaze disdainfully, still hiding behind her handkerchief.
The second daughter watched Tyler with cautious hope. Edda waited, his heart unconsciously

But Tyler…Tyler said nothing, he didn’t answer, didn’t ask a single question, he simply turned his gaze back toward the king.
Looked at him long and hard, and then… very quietly…Tyler shook his head, the heavy silence inside the royal chamber deepened as Tyler stood quietly by the king’s bedside, the elder, Edda, the two princesses–all watched him closely.
Without showing any nervousness or hesitation, Tyler reached out slowly and placed his right hand gently on the king’s forehead.
The moment his skin touched the king’s cold, clammy flesh, Tyler’s eyes sharpened.
In an instant, he understood, he could feel it clearly now, the sickness ravaging the king’s body wasn’t just physical.
It was a complex, malicious poisoning of both flesh and spirit–layered curses woven deeply into the king’s life force, hiding beneath the symptoms of disease.
It wasn’t something any ordinary medicine or pill could cure.
It required precise intervention–down to the finest strand of energy within the body.
Still Tyler didn’t speak, there was no need for words.
Without wasting any more time, he moved his left hand swiftly, forming a series of intricate hand symbols in midair, each one faster and more precise than the last.
The elder, Edda, leaned forward unconsciously, his eyes narrowing with intense focus.
And then a soft, radiant glow began to shine from Tyler’s hands.
Brilliant blue lights calm yet powerful poured out from his fingers like flowing rivers of pure
energy.
The room was bathed in a soft, ethereal glow, gasps echoed faintly through the chamber.
Even the first daughter, despite herself, lowered her handkerchief slightly to see more clearly, a flicker of uncertainty passing through her icy gaze.
The second daughter’s eyes widened with awe, with a small, hopeful breath escaping her lips. Edda, however, was the one most stunned, Blue energy lights? he thought, his heart pounding. Such pure healing energy… But what happened next shook him even deeper.
Tyler, still calm and collected, moved his fingers with effortless grace, and right before their eyes, the glowing blue light gathered together, compressing and forming into distinct, solid shapes.
Five slender, gleaming acupuncture needles made entirely of energy.
Seeing what was in front of him. Edda’s mouth fell slightly open in shock.

He gripped the arms of his chair tightly, struggling to comprehend what he was witnessing.
This… this is impossible…In all his years of study, he knew that true healing acupuncture techniques required physical needles infused carefully with energy.
It was already considered an extremely difficult art, Infusing energy into metal needles demanded enormous control and stamina.
It was one of the highest marks of a top–level healer, but what Tyler had just done…..he hadn’t even needed the physical needles.
He had directly condensed his spiritual energy into needle form without a medium, It was a feat that demanded not only colossal energy reserves but also terrifying precision, far beyond the reach of ordinary healers.
At that moment Edda could hardly breathe, ‘From everything I know… he thought frantically, to perform something like this… someone would have to be at least… at least at the level of a master!‘
And not just any master–a healer of rare, extraordinary skill.
Although Edda was not a master in the healing arts himself, from the little knowledge he did have, it was enough to tell him one undeniable truth:
With what he just saw… Tyler…should already be at the level of a master by now.
Before anyone could even blink, Tyler moved, with a smooth, almost fluid motion, he directed the five glowing energy acupuncture needles straight into the king’s body.
Each needle struck a precise, hidden meridian point places only a true master would even know existed.
The energy didn’t hesitate, the moment the needles touched the king’s skin, they sank in effortlessly, as if welcomed by the body itself, then Tyler pressed two fingers together and unleashed the hidden energy inside the needles directly into the king’s meridians.
Immediately a powerful shockwave rippled through the king’s body.
Then the reaction was immediate, the king’s body jerked violently, spasming on the golden bed as if struck by lightning.
At that moment Gasps echoed through the room, The second daughter jumped to her feet in fright, her hands clutching her gown tightly.
The elder Edda rose halfway out of his chair, his mouth open in shock.
And the first daughter who had so far kept her royal calm couldn’t hold it anymore, she sprang to her feet, her silk handkerchief falling to the ground unnoticed.
Her face was pale with panic, she thought the king was dying.

“He’s-!” she tried to scream, but before she could finish her words
The king’s eyes shot wide open, and then—A violent gush of dark, foul blood burst from his mouth, It sprayed out in thick streams, staining the pristine sheets and spilling onto the golden floor below.
The sound of the blood hitting the floor echoed around the chamber like hammer strikes.
At the moment another violent cough wracked the king’s body, and even more black, poisonous blood spewed forth.
The royal daughters gasped loudly Several guards outside the door pressed closer, alarmed, It was a terrifying sight–watching the once–mighty king, now frail and weak, vomiting out poison like a broken vessel.
But Tyler remained perfectly calm, he stood by the king’s side, his eyes sharp, his breathing steady, he knew exactly what was happening, The poison must be expelled before true healing can begin.
And he wasn’t finished yet, as the blood flow finally began to slow, Tyler made a quick series of hand signs once again.
The blue glowing acupuncture needles, still embedded in the king’s vital points, vibrated lightly almost like they were alive, then, with a graceful pull of his fingers, Tyler summoned them back.
One by one, the energy needles dissolved into thin air, vanishing without a trace as they retreated from the king’s body.
