I Tamed a Tyrant and Ran Away

‘Kahu.’

Charlize thought.

He said he would bury it and then he really buried it.

Like he forgot about it.

Charlize’s eyes sank.

Feelings for Kahu could be held at ease when Kahu knew nothing.

Kahu remembers Kiera before her return, and he’s seen it before.

And.

Now he knows that Kiera is ‘made’.

‘How far can you guess, Kahu?’

Charlize calculated.

But he won’t notice.

It was impossible for a person to eat a piece of Ehyrit, become metal and become a magic sword. Even in this era. It is hard to even imagine.

Charlize lowered her eyes.

‘But it’d better not get caught by Dylan.’

Dylan fed the ‘Ehyrit’s piece’ to the former Emperor. One thing to say is that, fortunately, the right to dispose of the former emperor rested solely with Charlize.

So he wouldn’t know the details.

Charlize knew how different Dylan was before and after the regression.

But she couldn’t figure out what Dylan was thinking about.

‘It’s true that we have a deep affinity.’

It could be that they are homogeneous. Perhaps it is admiration for his unreality. Because the amazingly brilliant talent is thrilling just to watch.

At least it was right that Charlize began to be perceived as a special person distinguished from others.

‘What could it be?’

Charlize was seriously trying to kill Kahu for a moment.

She looked down on him as a Master, but she just couldn’t because Kahu was better than she thought.

But if Dylan found out. Dylan couldn’t have thrown a sword at her even though he was more dangerous than Kahu.

That was the difference between Kahu and Dylan.

“Grandmaster, it’s an appointed time.”

“Really?”

At the maid’s words, Charlize raised her head.

She was resting for a moment on the sofa in the lilac room.

Dylan wanted to borrow Charlize’s day in its entirety. She agreed, it wasn’t difficult, and that was today.

‘Well, I’ve been busy lately, so I haven’t been able to meet him properly.’

Charlize stood up from her seat.

“Where did His Majesty call me?”

She thought he’d ask her to go out because it’s been a long time, but the maid gave an unexpected answer.

“His Majesty asked you to come to the cream room of the Imperial Palace.”

‘Cream room?’

There was a map of the world and a miniature of the continent carved in detail. Usually, the place where emperors used to spend a lot of time before the war.

‘Why are you there?’

She was quite surprised. Charlize blinked slowly and nodded her head.

It was a maze-like imperial palace, but it was a familiar building to Charlize. There was no hesitation in walking to the cream room.

Because the military information was confidential, it was guarded by knights.

The knights bowed politely to Charlize. Charlize came in right away.

“You came, Master.”

“I greet your Majesty.”

Perhaps because it was an enclosed space, so she felt Dylan was too big. She realized that he had become a perfect adult.

Her fingertips are a little numb.

Charlize approached him slowly.

A world map was spread out on a table in the center of the room.

“I took care of it as the Master said.”

“…What?”

“I’m going to start a war.”

And Dylan tapped a part of the map.

The Seruna Empire.

“Didn’t you say that if the front is sweet like honey, you’ll chase after it till the back even if it’s hell?”

Dylan looked at Charlize.

‘War?’

Charlize looked at Dylan, who was taller than she thought, with confounded eyes.

‘It’s been less than half a year since Dylan’s reign began.’

The country was now in a state of revival. He even brought future assets.

To be precise, businesses that may look good right now, but will unconditionally face headwinds and fail in the future.

For example, there was a new technology development that needed natural assets that were about to be depleted. Since all natural assets will disappear anyway, only development costs will be lost, and even asset prices will soar in the future due to its rarity.

If all of them ran out, there would have been astronomical costs to replace the culture already established.

‘But people believe in Dylan I.’

No, they were fanatics.

From the point of view of the king, it was a necessary evil, but from the point of view of the imperial people, there was no underworld to fear. The people of the Empire are living better than before.

The economy and politics seemed to be in perfect prime. So even if Dylan wants to go to war, everyone will come forward. Loyally.

Finally,

Slowly the empire will collapse. Of course, the imperial people were innocent.

No, if guilty.

It was like everyone cried out for the magic sword Kiera?

‘I was called a monster.’

People loved ‘Kiera’.

Prosperity, peace, and happiness brought by ‘Kiera’. Stacked on the blood.

Charlize remembered that the emperors who tried to release Kiera also turned back.

[I promise I’ll release you. However, please help me until this war.]

When she volunteered to help him, it always came back as a betrayal.

[Did you believe that? Not a human, but a magic sword.]

Mirihone II laughed sarcastically.

It was Dylan’s voice that cut off her deepening flashbacks.

“What do you think, Master?”

Ah.

Charlize followed Dylan’s finger pointing to the map.

Yeah,

The war with the Seruna Empire.

Even though Kiera existed before the return, it was a land conquered 200 years later. Dylan was an extraordinary genius, even compared to all previous emperors.

Was there anything impossible for Dylan?

“Very good.”

Charlize said sincerely.

Now, on his own, Dylan had moved according to Charlize’s intrinsic intentions. Dylan laughed.

The country was run by two people.

The empire did not collapse because Charlize’s immediate revenge target were the organizers of the Kiera project.

“Just…”

Charlize looked at the model of the continent, avoiding his gaze so as not to assimilate.

The expression of the border with the Seruna Empire was, in fact, firmly wrong. It may be modified soon if the informant is released, but Charlize said.

“Look over here, Your Majesty.”

After Charlize walked close to the model, she pointed to a mountain range.

“This is a high mountain range that has always been keeping the Seruna Empire safe from foreign invasion. Perhaps, if your Majesty declares war, all the tacticians will.”

Charlize said, lifting up the shape of the ship.

“Why don’t we take a boat across the sea like this and target the East and West, where there are relatively few boundaries?”

Charlize moved the military model and said.

“I would argue that it would be most efficient to cross a long desert like this and hit the center quickly.”

“Yes, I see it that way, Master.”

Based on this information right now. Therefore,

Dylan stared at Charlize.

Charlize said calmly.

“But there’s a shortcut.”

‘A shortcut?’

Dylan suppressed surprise at Charlize’s calm face.

All the data in the cream room is always made up of the latest information. There was a separate Imperial informant who was in charge of this task. As it is the key point of the strategy that the emperor looks at first, he pays so much attention.

However, from Charlize’s mouth came a series of top-notch information that even Dylan had never heard of.

“If you look closely at the ground of the mountain range, you will get the impression that it is empty. This is due to the long underground cave beneath the mountain range that is known to very few people. It is a natural occurrence, and there’s a legend that the rare creatures such as the dragon lived in the mountains.”

“…”

Charlize continued her words without hesitation.

“The villagers are vigilant, but they’re in favor of sapphire. They value it more than gold or diamonds. Give them jewelry made of sapphire, and they’ll tell you the entrance to the cave.”

“Sapphire…”

“If you go through the cave, you can move straight through the mountain range like this. It saves a lot more time and can outwit the enemy.”

Dylan already knew about Charlize’s extensive knowledge, but he could not help but be surprised at this information.

“How do you know this?”

‘Well, I’ve already been through this as Kiera.’

Under the magic sword Kiera, all continents were conquered and dominated. Charlize was well versed in all military points and strategies, as well as the culture and language of each country.

400 years is such a time.

“When I was a kid, I read a book.”

Charlize said, but Dylan couldn’t easily agree.

He remembered every book he read.

And these phrases were not recorded in any book. Of course, Dylan hasn’t read all the books on the whole continent yet, so he accepted it for now.

‘Because it’s Charlize.’

Charlize picked up the teacup that had been prepared on the table.

He watches her as she warms up while drinking carefully.

Dylan broke the silence.

“Thanks to the Master, everything will be easier.”

“Isn’t it my duty as a servant to be loyal to your Majesty?”

Charlize put down the teacup and humbled.

The drooping eyelashes were alluring.

If he loses his mind a little bit, he’ll turn the table upside down. He wanted to pull Charlize’s chin.

And kiss those lips. It was already mixed up in his dreams. Maybe it’s because he feels guilty, but he thinks it’s a desire that he shouldn’t embrace. On the contrary, it only got stronger.

Because if he keeps looking at it, his impulse will come true. So Dylan took off his lips.

“…How was the experience you had with the young duke?”

“Are you talking about the wizards of the magic tower?”

“Yes, I wonder why they were hanging around near the underworld.”

“It was because of the slaves in the underworld.”

In fact, it was because of Alperier, but Charlize calmly told a lie.

“They were after the children who were sent to the orphanage.”

‘It’s a lie.’

And Dylan immediately noticed it.

Charlize didn’t spill the clue, he knew it because of Kahu. Because he came up with a tiny piece of evidence that ordinary people would not know.

If it were because of the slaves, Kahu would have been worried about the orphanage and would have a hardened expression on his face. But his expression was close to a slightly blank, odd face, though stiff.

That was not a concern…

Charlize was lying.

‘Why?’

It was Charlize who was telling the truth only to Dylan.

But soon Dylan changed his mind.

If Charlize says it, it becomes the truth.

Dylan was now limited in how far he could hold out. He wanted to ask. Why does he want to dig into her?

Why don’t you believe in her? Why? She knows everything…

‘I, Master.’

Dylan stopped thinking because he was jealous.

‘…I won’t do that if I want to.’

Dylan did not do the immoral act of transferring Charlize by using these abilities. Charlize herself did not form a relationship with the duke like that.

He just wanted Charlize so bad, he felt like dying.

Draw a line when he approaches. Charlize comes when he pretends to be weak.

“Master.”

But as soon as he realized it, he couldn’t stand it and eventually held Charlize’s hand in the back.

But when he saw Charlize who was a little surprised, he didn’t think about letting go.

He kissed Charlize on the back of her hand.

Even though he knew what Charlize said was a lie.

“I will protect the orphanage.”

So don’t worry,

Dylan moved his lips on the back of her hand, sympathizing with Charlize’s acting.

The breathtaking water level seemed to overflow anytime soon.

Charlize is very close.

‘Like this, should I swallow it?’

Dylan stared openly at her lips.
