She had read about amnesia in some of the books Tein read, but as someone without an academy degree or any certifications, Sharti wasn’t well-versed in complex matters like brain functions.
As Sharti cast a skeptical look at the man, he retorted as if he had read her thoughts.
“……It’s true.”
He appeared almost aggrieved.
“That’s why I couldn’t speak for a while, even after regaining consciousness.”
“…….?”
“I was scared that the moment I opened my eyes, I would be put to sleep again or be attacked.”
The man shrugged his uninjured shoulder.
His remark made Sharti wince a bit.
“I’m not blaming you.”
He glanced at Sharti before settling comfortably. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, the man looked downcast.
‘The atmosphere seems different.’
The man she first met, who brandished a sword and exuded a murderous aura, was starkly different from the one in front of her now.
‘Initially, he seemed like a huge predator.’
But now, he appeared languid, more like a large herbivore.
Of course, the man was putting on an act, doing his best to allay Sharti’s fears.
His clumsy act had somewhat eased her vigilance.
‘No. He might still be lying about his memory loss.’
While she felt pity for the man, her distrust towards people hadn’t faded.
Sharti narrowed her eyes at him from under the hood, and the man calmly breathed, sensing her defensive stance.
He knew she wouldn’t be easily fooled.
“The only one I can communicate with now is you.”
He looked up, his confession honest. Without trying to close the gap or showing any intent to attack, he just lay there.
His calm turquoise eyes held Sharti.
“So, I’d like to talk. Peacefully, this time.”
“…….?”
A pitiful and injured patient with a head injury.
The man knew well how to present himself as either a threat or an object of sympathy.
“I know my attitude hasn’t been favorable.”
Muttering to himself, he suddenly stood up.
Sharti flinched.
‘What is he doing?’
Contrary to her expectation that he was preparing for a fight from a vantage point, the man stepped down from the bed and moved a couple of steps away. Then, to her surprise, he prostrated himself on the cold cave floor in front of the bed.
“……!”
Sharti blinked in astonishment as his well-defined back muscles came into view.
The man, with his forehead pressed against the cold ground, spoke in a small, low voice.
“Help me.”
The plea echoed softly throughout the cave.
Sharti stared at the man’s head, prostrated at her feet.
“I don’t want to be here alone. Knowing nothing, it’s suffocating, scary, and lonely.”
“…….?”
“I’ve tried venturing outside the cave a few days ago. But I couldn’t leave. As much as I wanted to meet someone who knows me, I gave up seeing myself in this state. I can’t even distinguish friend from foe right now. This cave was the only place. The only place where I felt I could keep myself safe.”
The man’s earnest and heartfelt plea shook Sharti’s heart.
The anxiety and fear he was feeling were fears Sharti herself had experienced.
‘But I had Bireta Grandma, Birena, and Tein.’
Five years ago, she closed her eyes, expecting to die in a fire. When she opened them, she wasn’t in the flames but under a thick blanket.
At first, she thought everything that happened in the Criannet Kingdom was a dream.
Until she found indelible marks and disabilities on her body as reminders of that day.
The thought that someone might come to take her away again tormented her every day.
Back then, she was broken.
‘I lost my voice, and he lost his memory. I guess it’s not the same, but…’
A sense of empathy rooted in pity.
That’s why Sharti couldn’t help but be swayed.
“You’re the only one I can ask for help now.”
The man continued speaking with his head still pressed to the ground.
“Just help me a bit more. Please.”
He had found Sharti’s weak spot, her inability to refuse a plea for help.
Slowly, the man lifted his head to gauge Sharti’s reaction.
“Wild animals might come here, the temperature drops at night. And if a big storm hits, this place might collapse.”
He was making sense.
The man didn’t give her time to settle her wavering heart.
“If you find me threatening, you can tie my arms or legs. You can blindfold me too.”
The man looked up at Sharti with a pitiful smile.
“Take me with you. Please.”
“…….?”
Sharti admitted to herself.
‘I want to help this person.’
But she couldn’t readily extend her hand to him.
‘Is it even right for me?’
She, too, was hiding in the mountains.
How could she hide and help someone in her situation?
Perhaps it would be better to go down to the village and entrust him to someone.
‘Wouldn’t it be best for both of us if I ask Grandma Bireta to protect his identity?’
Sharti’s inner conflict deepened as the man watched her indecision. Even his emotional appeal wasn’t breaking through her hesitation.
He needed a different approach.
The man dropped his pitiful act.
“Wouldn’t it be better, at least until I regain my memory, to keep me with you? For the sake of our safety.”
His low, cool voice now sounded pragmatic, instilling a sense of urgency.

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
