I Tamed a Tyrant and Ran Away

Dylan thought fiercely to own Charlize.

‘I should not judge Master with common sense.’

And one conclusion was reached.

Charlize’s behavior. It was that it was far from behavior that was likely in the world or had a realistic basis.

‘I was judging by common sense, but I missed Master.’

Charlize’s sword, Charlize’s existence. Even the thought of Charlize. It was always out of Dylan’s point of view.

In the first place, Charlize should not be judged by standards or frames.

Then, how should Charlize be judged?

‘Now that I think about it. Master’s existence itself made no sense.’

Dylan’s eyes narrowed.

Charlize is. She was a genius who had all the unrealistic talents of the world.

Even if it is said that the blood of the Grand Duchess runs through her overwhelming beauty.

A perfect swordsmanship that easily crossed the boundaries of the master. A knowledgeable aspect in all fields. An insight that penetrates information that is not written in the book.

The more he thought about it, the more it didn’t make sense.

“Don’t you think there are other people like the prince?”

Charlize said so when she broke down the boundaries of Dylan, who was a boy.

“A genius like a prince who can understand the prince.”

At that time, he was young and persuaded by Charlize’s words.

Looking back now.

‘There is no genius like me.’

Originally, it would have been like that.

It was not arrogance, but natural self-objectification.

Dylan excelled in any field he did for the first time. The fact that he is good in all fields is already far beyond the human level.

However, Charlize was out of the question.

Why? And how can she be out of the question?

‘Something important is missing.’

That’s why Dylan doesn’t understand Charlize.

This was not the only strange thing about Charlize.

First, why did Charlize decide to become Dylan’s teacher, who was thoroughly hiding his existence?

‘It was as if she already knew me well.’

Second, Charlize became the boy’s teacher just before the 7th concubine died. There was no better time to break down the boy’s vigilance and win his heart. So is that a calculation or a coincidence?

‘Since Charlize participated in the swordsmanship competition and wished Heelu-herb as a wish to win.’

Perhaps she should have been thoroughly scrutinized and questioned.

What are you thinking?

Perhaps, the death of the 7th concubine. Did you know that beforehand?

‘Charlize’s anger towards the Empire was also strange.’

As if she hated the empire itself. In particular, a clear sense of revenge was read for the late Emperor. Therefore, Dylan broke his promise with Charlize on the day of the rebellion.

He offered to execute the late Emperor at the hands of Charlize. He was afraid that Charlize would lose the purpose of her life.

That’s why he loves Charlize. He was proud to think that he had fed the late Emperor a ‘piece of Ehyrit’ and made him pay the same price.

‘Why did I unconsciously think that the act of feeding the Emperor of Ehyrit’s sculpture was equal?’

Now, the hatred for the Empire that Charlize had was fading.

If only hatred was still read. It’s not that Dylan takes Alperier hostage and threatens Charlize. He must have threatened to say, ‘I will not live as a tyrant any longer if you are not by my side.’

But Charlize showed no interest in Dylan’s reign.

Whether Dylan is a tyrant or a wise king, whether the empire is destroyed or not. In fact, interest is gone.

Now, all of Charlize’s hatred was directed at the magic tower.

‘Why do you hate the magic tower so much?’

Why should Charlize hate the magic tower?

Dylan was nowhere to be seen.

He heard Alperier’s Death Knight’s performance over the past three years.

If it was the wizard of the magic tower, when they faced Charlize. They all said that everyone would die on the spot.

Charlize, whom Dylan knew, was not that extreme. The justice of the world must not have been the motive.

Morals? That’s not it either.

‘Why are you taking revenge?’

What grudge do you hold?

The biggest and most representative evil that the magic tower did was the Kiera Project.

Kiera.

<Ki-e-ra>

‘The Kiera Project.’

It was also the only topic that Charlize was obsessed with.

It was also the title of the only document she had burned in his office before she left Dylan.

Payne’s hatred towards the magic tower. Payne himself was also a victim of the Kiera project, and his sister was a victim, so he understood.

But why Charlize?

If Charlize’s family was not involved, and she wasn’t the victim, then why…

“You’ll die at a young age, because you couldn’t stand the magic of the pieces. Charlize Ronan came to you at the age of 15, and if she had been tested before that, she would already be dead.”

Payne had said so while confiding in Dylan.

However, Dylan thought.

‘I will no longer approach Master’s true identity with common sense.’

When Dylan was a boy.

He looked at Charlize and thought, ‘she’s like a magic sword.’

Not a rose with thorns.

It’s like a sword that burns cold and blue.

Dylan’s ability to read essence.

Sometimes it was demonstrated by intuition before logic.

‘Why did I, as a boy, feel a magic sword when I saw Master?’

Look realistically. Everything was questionable.

But once one empty piece is fitted.

Dylan seemed to understand the whole flow. No, if it is the last possibility remaining after erasing all hypotheses. No matter how much it deviated from the laws of the world, it was right to see it as a fact.

He suddenly realized a clear fact.

‘Charlize.’

Perhaps.

‘She had an experience in the future that didn’t happen.’

It’s absurd enough to make him goosebumps. It’s impossible to even imagine.

If Charlize was the victim of the Kiera Project project. She suffered thoroughly because of that, and if she had the insight to get ahead of time with the benefits she got from knowing the future.

Charlize’s hatred for the Empire, which was particularly strong for the late Emperor, her revenge for the magic tower, her overly detached attitude toward the Grand Duke Ronan’s family, and her discernment for recognizing Dylan, who was hiding at once.

All in all, he understood.

“…Is this too much of a thought?”

“Yes?”

Asked Shadow back.

Dylan tapped lightly on the table as if playing the piano.

White smoke leaked from Dylan’s lips.

He started smoking cigarettes after Charlize disappeared. Because the ingredients of the cigarette made the mind sharper and more sensitive. It was good when he was lost in thought.

‘It seems like you’ve come back from the future.’

Did he go completely crazy because he was obsessed with his Master?

‘Or is this a high-possibility guess?’

One of them, Dylan thought.

“From your point of view, do you think I’m completely crazy about Master?”

“…Yes?”

Hugo was hardened by an unexpected question.

He bowed his head without daring to look Dylan in the eye.

Hugo was sent by Charlize directly to Dylan. Hugo was a high-ranking knight, who is also considered one of Dylan’s closest aides in Shadow.

Dylan sluggishly bit the end of the cigarette.

The smell of cigarettes, resembling the smell of the devil, spread all around.

‘Your Majesty, now he’s a different person.’

Hugo realized this every time Dylan smoked.

Not the cool emperor Dylan was with Charlize.

Hugo stiffened and tensed.

“The lower ones do not dare judge the mind of the upper ones. I don’t think about anything, Your Majesty. Please understand my loyalty.”

“…Do you think I’m crazy, I.”

But Dylan didn’t listen.

The tyrant’s voice was low and threatening, like the growl of a beast.

The inside of the office was engulfed in silence.

Hugo and other Shadows bowed their heads in silence.

“…”

The emperor is the absolute ruler.

No judgment should be made of the emperor’s actions.

Knowing Shadow’s rules of conduct, Dylan’s eyes were cold.

“…I can’t answer anything. Forgive me, Your Majesty.”

Hugo knelt in front of Dylan and said.

Dylan smoked a cigarette and looked at Hugo leisurely. But Hugo couldn’t relax. Because the ghastly murderous intent emanating from the emperor was real.

‘I might die like this.’

The next moment he thought.

The Emperor. He laughed briefly.

The murderous intent was scattered cleanly.

It was a sudden change of emotion that his subordinates couldn’t read at all.

“What is Master doing?”

“…She’s spending all day in the Empress’s palace.”

Hugo fell down, shaking his back weakly, and replied.

Dylan was lost in thought with an indifferent look on his face, then asked again.

“Charlize is in the Empress’s palace?”

“…Yes.”

Dylan’s lips wriggled.

Because he had a strange intuition.

He thought that he should go see Charlize right away.

Dylan turned off the cigarette. The tyrant rose from the darkness.

Meanwhile,

The forest of monsters.

Charlize’s sword was perfection itself.

“Ugh…!”

As if the god of death had descended from heaven. A noble yet certain sword play.

The wizard who encountered Charlize died with his eyes wide open.

The wizard said, ‘Why is there a Lady here?’ or ‘The witness must be killed.’ He would have thought of something like that.

By the time Charlize’s eyes met his, he was already late.

Charlize’s sword had no mercy.

The wizard died without even being able to resist.

‘It’s not just one person.’

Shortly after, Charlize, who flew up to the ground without help, also cut down several of the wizard’s colleagues silently.

In an instant, more than twenty wizards were lying on the floor.

‘Why is the magic tower here?’

Charlize did not hesitate to change the future, only for the work of the magic tower. So, the results would have been different.

Charlize’s mind was thinking quickly.

‘The source of the evil, Ehyrit’s piece, comes from the monster.’

Of course, the magic tower has grown the monsters from the inside and carved the pieces.

Now that Charlize has almost destroyed the external magic tower, she must have had to procure the monster from the outside.

That’s why she came to the forest of monsters.

‘What is this?’

Charlize paid close attention.

Because she could feel the presence not far away.

It was different from that of the wizards. What was this smell of sanguinary evil?

Close to natural fragrance.

Someone shouted.

“We must find the grandmaster from the Empire!”

“If the grandmaster is injured by the wizard, she might get hurt with blood! Hurry up!”

Charlize held her sword and looked in front of her.

Rumors about the emperor’s grandmaster seemed to be heard.

That’s true, because Dylan was so openly obsessed.

Soon, a man with rough breathing appeared in front of Charlize.

‘Rapine.’

She recognized it at a glance.

The Rapines were similar to ordinary people, but the characteristic was that they had sharp eyes.

Brown-colored skin. A geometric pattern was drawn on the face with white paint.

‘It’s an impressive appearance.’

Charlize thought.

However, the Rapine first paid attention to the bodies that had fallen to the floor.

Astonishment soon appeared on their faces.

In particular, the young man who took the lead was shocked.

As if killed with a single stroke, there was no external wound.

It was the skill of a scary talented person.

‘No way, is it the grandmaster?’

He heard rumors that she was the best sword of the Emperor, but he didn’t believe it.

However, it was an unrealistic sight to the extent that his backbone became chilly after witnessing it with both eyes.

Charlize, who was watching, slowly opened her lips.

“Is Rapine originally… later than the scheduled appointment time?”

It was a languid voice.

Also terribly captivating. Likely to seduce people.
