I Tamed a Tyrant and Ran Away

There was hardly any sign.

‘It has been a long time since it was reported that we succeeded in besieging the Emperor.’

According to schedule, Dylan should have come this way three hours ago with the Emperor tied up in a rope.

Then, a sudden speculation passes through Charlize’s mind.

‘It can’t be.’

She had an ominous hunch.

Somehow she felt strange. Charlize asked the messenger who approached.

“Is there any particular reason for His Highness’s delay?”

“Perhaps isn’t it because his task was important and encountered a few troubles along the way?”

The messenger answered, avoiding her gaze.

Clearly. There must be something.

To the messenger, who answered back, Charlize almost urged him to speak properly.

‘I hope this is just my unnecessary worry.’

Charlize tried to suppress the strange feeling. In fact. The speculation itself didn’t make sense. Dylan wouldn’t do that…

Charlize showed patience.

Meanwhile, Akan was watching Charlize at the highest place where he received real-time reports from his subordinates.

“The shadow monsters were really all down. It’s an enormous number close to four digits by approximation…”

The two knights of the Grand Duke approached Akan. They were whispering in a dazed tone, as if frightened.

“If a stranger sees this, they wouldn’t even be able to imagine it was cut with a sword. It is so clean, without a single scar.”

“That’s right. Young master.”

Akan’s expression hardened. Did that mean it’s real?

‘Charlize dealt with thousands of shadow monsters in one day.’

How unrealistic it was. It would have sounded much more realistic to say that the devil wished for world peace or sparrows were the masters of dragons.

After completing the report, the knights stepped back with respect. Akan thought silently.

‘The other time, when she was poisoned by the Blackshaw flower, Charlize even woke up miraculously.’

Unless she was more than a master. The doctor said it was impossible.

‘How good is Charlize’s skill…’

It wasn’t possible. It’s beyond his imagination. The only thing he could say was that it’s so amazing that it didn’t feel realistic.

Akan had seen Charlize teaching Dylan up close.

He felt it at that time, too.

Charlize was a genius.

However, at this point, the word genius couldn’t explain the extent of her skills. A complete master. And perhaps… A transcendent ruler who could swallow all the highest ranking beings.

‘When did she start preparing for the rebellion?’

Everyone moved in perfect order. The plan was being followed thoroughly. Dylan’s accession was now clear.

“Brother.”

“Don’t you think it’s going well?”

Dante approached and spoke. Akan was looking up at Charlize.

Those who were willing to kneel and tighten their knees under the Grandmaster. A look of respect and willingness to support her sincerely.

It’s too far and high. It went up so high that it couldn’t be reached.

“Don’t just watch Charlize, talk to her…”

At Dante’s suggestion, Akan smiled bitterly.

“What am I going to say?”

I’m glad that you’re alive? There’s a rumor that the reason the Duke of Kenin is loyal to the Crown Prince is because of your contribution. Is that true?

The Grand Duke was silent next to the two young masters. Because Charlize was shining brightly up there.

He couldn’t even think of Charlize at the Grand Duchy. Her presence was dazzling with a blaze of brilliance.

“Everyone, stick to your positions.”

Charlize said.

She tried to wait for Dylan a bit more, but her head was too noisy. Even if she tried to pass it off as unnecessary anxiety. It’s too late.

As Charlize climbed on the messenger’s horse, the messenger as well as several knights became confused.

“Gr, Grandmaster? Where are you going…!”

“Wait for my order.”

Charlize’s cold words silenced everyone. It was only a short time, but they were completely under control.

Charlize pulled the horse reins. Beginning with a whinny, the horse neighed and ran away.

The sharp wind grazed her cheeks. Charlize pulled harder.

“More, faster.”

However, did she ask for too much speed? At one point, the horse that was running at full speed hurt its leg and fell down.

The fall from a horse was at least a serious injury, but Charlize was not hurt by covering herself with her mana.

Charlize rolled over the ground. But soon, she stood up again.

She was already running when she came to her senses. The more she ran, the more she became convinced of her guess. What If. Perhaps Dylan. Was still there.

‘Because it’s Dylan.’

Charlize ran and ran.

Her fragile body couldn’t draw out all the power of Saint, but she ran to the fullest.

Even though she’s out of breath all the way to her chin, her lungs seem to explode, and she felt like her leg muscles were going to rupture.

She ran and ran. It was not long before she arrived.

The Imperial Palace.

It was burning.

The owner of corruption that had built up vice.

Seeing these dead bodies on the ground, the fall of the imperial family, it was a scene that she had long wanted for. The bodies of the imperial family were seen. Originally, the plan was to execute them through due process.

The thousand-year-old imperial building had collapsed, and the sky was covered with smoke. A painful shriek pierced her ears.

‘It can’t be.’

The Emperor.

That may have been the reason why Dylan was late. To kill even the Emperor.

No. In the first place, he had been intending to kill the Emperor.

So that Charlize couldn’t see the end of the Emperor. It crossed her mind that he might have known her biggest purpose for all of this was the Emperor.

‘Since when did Dylan get out of my control?’

Pillars of fire soared from all around her. Charlize jumped into the flames.

Perhaps because of her hundreds of years of experience, Charlize’s wits was surprisingly cold and level-headed, even at this moment.

Charlize breathed hard.

Eventually, she ran into Dylan. A tyrant whom she had believed she could control.

“Master.”

There was a surprised look on his face, as if he couldn’t believe she was before him.

There was no tender voice or the presence of the Emperor. No.

The Emperor was lying at Dylan’s feet. Dietrich I. The main culprit of all the ringleaders that made her into ‘Keira’.

“The Emperor. Did you kill him?”

Charlize’s voice was filled with emotions, unlike usual.

Charlize looked at Dylan with an enraged look. The end of the Emperor must be done with her own hands. She had to see it through with her own eyes.

She decided to do that more than 10 years ago, and today she ran all the way here, giving everything up.

“I asked if you killed him.”

But instead of answering, Dylan only smoothed his clothes. And it wasn’t until after a while, he replied.

“I didn’t kill him. He’s obviously alive.”

It didn’t make sense. How could he be alive when he wasn’t breathing and didn’t show any signs of being alive?

The moment she thought so, the Emperor moved. Charlize held her breath. She was delighted for a moment. She was happy to see him rolling on the ground. It was he, the Emperor who turned herself into Keira and had spent 400 years.

“Aren’t you curious about how I did it?”

“…How, did you do it?”

Charlize’s gaze went up again and faced Dylan.

Once upon a time, he had just been a boy. He had been a clear and pure child. But now, he was a complete and total man. A traitor who took the throne by burying the blood of the imperial family and bringing down the Imperial Palace.

A tyrant who was about to destroy his country and bring it to a catastrophe. He was covered in thick blood, but he directly and blindly stared at Charlize.

Perhaps, even after all this time, he was just a student who longed to be praised. Dylan took off his lips slowly.

“At first, I tried to kill him with a sword. But when I saw my father, I suddenly thought this.”

Charlize held her breath.

“Because the fundamental reality of the subject that Master was obsessed with is the Emperor. Instead of thinking that I should just kill him with my own hands so that Master doesn’t think of giving up on her life. There’s a better way.”

“…”

“I’ve decided not to kill him. I felt a great hatred that I couldn’t even count. I felt that I shouldn’t touch him.”

“…”

“Instead of killing him all at once and making him feel no pain, I would rather let him live and drive him into a painful hell. I think it would be a more certain revenge.”

Charlize was horrified and terrified, apart from how far Dylan had read her. Dylan spoke tenderly, as if asking for her consent.

“Don’t you think so, Master?”

The Emperor, who was tied on the ground, blinks his eyes like a goldfish with a look laced with anger and fear.

His mouth was bound and gagged, covered in blood. He couldn’t escape even if he tried to wriggle like a worm. He couldn’t exist as a person anymore.

He was the father who gave birth to Dylan. Rather, he could understand that it was human goodness for Dylan to kill his biological father.

However, Dylan smiled softly with a refreshing look.

“So I fed him a piece of Ehyrit.”

This. He crossed. The line.

Feeding pieces has been considered to be the most terrible thing people can do. The re-creation of life is the realm of God. It was an inviolable part that people shouldn’t overlook.

She thought that there’s no way to completely destroy a person than by changing their nature.

So when she had become ‘Keira’. She had been so angry, cold, and distant.

“Deal with him as you want, Master. ‘This’ will now live and move even if you cut off his arms, you can cut off his tongue and he will not die, if Master wants to.”

-Rather.

“You can also make ‘this’ into a sword.”

It would have been better to kill the Emperor.

Dylan was smiling softly. He said the Emperor was alive and suffered extreme pain. He said he wouldn’t die even if killed. He would be able to solve his Master’s wish.

He added a word.

She couldn’t hear it.

Charlize thought she was suffocating. She was finally watching the fall of the Emperor, who had fractured and crushed her for a long time.

However. This kind of revenge. She didn’t even think about such a thing.

Now, the Emperor had paid the price for making ‘Keira’. He was paid back in the same way for the evil he committed in trying to turn a person into a sword.

Because he himself had become a half-sword after having eaten a piece of Ehyrit.

A horrifying thrill ran across her body. How could there be such a perfect solution to the puzzle?

A small piece called the Emperor was set by a piece of Ehyrit to complete the puzzle about Keira. The perfection whitened her eyes.

“…Master?”

Dylan asked anxiously, wearing a gentle puppy-like face. Dylan reached out his hand and tried to hug Charlize.

But Charlize didn’t move. Still, she looked down at the Emperor.

At this moment, Charlize didn’t want Dylan’s intervention. Dylan held his breath as her rejection was read vividly.

‘Why?’

Dylan remembered Charlize’s vow to stay by his side no matter what he did.

‘If you remove the Emperor with your own hands, you will lose the will to live. If I kill the Emperor, you’ll hate me, so I’ll let him live forever.’

Even if he was stabbed with a sword, he might suffer, but he wouldn’t die. Fire and water didn’t kill a body that was regenerated with Ehyrit. Wasn’t this the best revenge?

Getting your hands on the object of your revenge that would not stop breathing even if you treat it the way you want. That was the most perfect gift Dylan could ever give.

But.

Charlize’s eyelashes trembled. It was the first time that her calm face was shaken.

Dylan was a genius. The problem was that he was genius enough to go beyond what Charlize could handle.

As a result, Charlize hardened like a stone in front of the Emperor who was made exactly like ‘Keira’.

She felt a chilling urge to run away from Dylan, who had appropriately deduced something she didn’t even explain.

Dylan, who had now become a complete tyrant, bowed his head against Charlize’s neck for the first time.

Like a child. Like a beast with a charm. Charlize quietly held her breath with her eyes wide open.

Dylan’s breath gently touched and tickled her skin. It was too close.

“Master.”

Why don’t you praise me?

Charlize took a breath in this strange feeling.
