Escape From The Tyrant

Why did you leave me? (4)

This was the first time Dylan had heard him speak informally.

In the meantime, he always spoke politely with only honorary titles leading to the Prince, His Highness, and His Highness.

But Dylan only listened to Charlize's informal speech.

Charlize slowly began to speak.

Because he has to explain how Kiera was made.

"I am, as you might expect, not a great person before I go back in time" Charlize said.

In the past, Charlize lived as a sinner in the Grand Duke family. Unlike now, she was called an evil woman who ate her mother.

He calmly confesses that he tried to die to be loved by his family, but he can't.

"I also have one talent."

That's the talent of the sword.

Charlize's dream is to become a knight.

"But I'm not recognized."

Looking back, Charlize's previous talent was also a genius. At that moment, Charlize herself did not know, but she had already reached the master level.

But he doesn't know. Because no one has ever seen Charlize's swordsmanship.

Since all he had to do was train on his own, Charlize herself just thought he was better than the others.

“Above everything, I couldn't slash anyone back then.”

So, he was likely misunderstood by others because of how much potential he had. Unfortunately, it was Dylan's father who first discovered Charlize's genius.

That was Dietrich I.

“Like many researchers in Project Kiera, they were taken away.”

At first, he thought he was going to be a knight, but when he found out that he wasn't, Charlize actually ran wild.

He did not expect that his essence would break into a sword, but he felt a greater fear than death.

"Swords only."

It was Charlize's first real fight with a human and the moment she slashed at a human for the first time.

With that, Charlize slashed all the restraints binding her, and even killed some of the Emperor's secret knights who had reached Master.

Talent given by God.

"The emperor was satisfied with that."

Antique tones are the echo of Kiera.

Charlize did not hide her name from Dylan. Now Charlize is Kiera too.

At that moment, Dietrich I smiled even though he lost more than half of his strength.

"As expected, the protective sword."

Dietrich I's voice was spoken with satisfaction.

From then on, Charlize bonded strongly and became Kiera without ever fighting back.

"When I opened my eyes, I became a sword and a god" Charlize said.

The magic tower witch who calls Charlize the evil god.

In shock, he overcame his memories and only remembered them recently, he said,

“After that, as imagined. I became the protective sword of the imperial family, the magic sword of Kiera, and was held in the hands of the emperors.”, Charlize said.

He lived in unbearable pain and loneliness while only being able to communicate with the emperors.

400-year-old hostage from Grand Duchy Ronan and had to kill many people.

When anger reaches, you sometimes feel no sensation at all. Yeah, it happened. That's why he's trying to get revenge. He thought the same thing.

The rest of the memories buried in revenge were obvious, but he deliberately erased his feelings. It's just hot, so it cools, and it cools. Cool it down again so that only cold anger remains.

He ran only to get revenge for a thorough reason. Dylan who was watching Charlize like that, suddenly opened his lips.

"I don't know if it's okay for me to dare to be angry with the imperial family's blood flowing within me."

As he asked if he could get angry, he could already read the anger in Dylan's eyes. A feeling of heat that is noticeable even when pressed.

"I'm mad. To the extent that I want to find those who are dead or in the future who will never come and make them pay for all their sins.”

"…Yes.Yes."

"If I curse them."

Dylan stopped talking.

"Are you surprised?"

He thought he would listen to her as if it was nothing according to his calm personality. But he could hear Dylan's breathing. A faint murderous look.

Instead, seeing Dylan being angry, Charlize was momentarily in a daze.

This was the first time someone had understood him, but this was the first time he had been this angry.

"No, I'm not surprised."

For a moment, Dylan uttered slang words.

Charlize blinked her eyes because her appearance was only different and very suitable.

The most dignified and noble emperors cursed them with vulgar language like humans in the underworld. Despite that.

Actually, it's good to feel relieved.

"It is not natural for anyone to suffer like that, even if it is not you, whom I love."

"…I think so."

“You are a human being, not Kiera. No gods or evil metals.”

the humans. The echo sounded very long. Dylan's eyes suddenly sank.

“So I understand.”

Charlize's confused.

“Reason why you left me.”

The meal is done. Dylan stood up from his chair and approached Charlize. Dylan who was getting closer, immediately stepped over without hesitation.

“You used me.”

Dylan lowered himself to Charlize, who was sitting on the chair, and grabbed him closer.

His face was too close to his. When they exhale, the skin of each other is quite tickling.

Dylan's eyes looked at Charlize up close.

"Do you intend to kill me?"

“…”

Charlize's lips hardened as if captured for a moment.

'If I were to die at Charlize's hands, it would probably be that good.'

Dylan comforted Charlize while thinking like that inside.

Charlize always said that humans are not perfect. If you want to be perfect, you must not change. Life itself is a series of imperfections, so human beings are bound to be perfect by death.

If love for Charlize ended at the end where she was killed by Charlize, could this be a more perfect story than that?

However, Dylan did not show his perverted obsession. He just touched Charlize's hair and kissed her.

"That's not true."

On the flashing Charlize, Dylan covered Charlize's cheeks with his palm.

The warmth of the skin feels hot. It was soft at the same time.

'How long have we not done it?'

Maybe about a week.

Long enough the touch feels provocative.

Charlize opened her lips. Dylan touched the air as if he was taking a breath that came out with his hand.

Charlize thought it was hard. To have a conversation with him. Rather than saying this, he thought he should have told her first instead of leaving.

It was possible that Dylan could live without the threat of death without knowing about the evil god Kiera, so he would do so even if he returned.

“... You are the most precious thing to me, the first light, and the person I never want to lose.”

Dylan was looking at Charlize.

As he listened to her, Charlize realized.

"He didn't tell me."

“Even if I had to put the blood of countless people in my hands, if I could save you, I would. Only you will be saved.”

It is an ironic destiny.

In the past, Charlize killed Dylan.

He still had not found a way to change that fate.

“For me, you are something I will never be able to lose. The only existence that no one can replace. I still love you."

He meant it as if he was vomiting blood.

He conveyed it with a pure heart that could not be said to be more sincere than this.

But Dylan wasn't as happy as before.

Its clear.

Charlize felt that Dylan had a scar that was difficult to heal. He understood it because it was a pity because that was what Charlize brought herself.

“Hard to receive it.”

“It would be so.”

"It's hard because you left me, Master."

She believed in Charlize's love, but it was difficult to accept Charlize completely because she had escaped twice.

Charlize listened quietly. In fact, he's ready.

Because his frustration is natural.

“But if I was in such a situation once again.I would make the same choice.”

Charlize paused for a moment as if it was unexpected.

Dylan gently stroked Charlize's lips with his index finger.

Dylan seemed to understand why Charlize had no choice but to leave.

“And, actually, I'm grateful.”

Charlize's eyes slowly widened as she thought of Dylan's criticism.

Wh why?

Why not criticize me?

“How painful, Master. It must have been painful to not be able to tell anyone. ”

“…”

“It must be very difficult to protect me. I think I understand how you feel.”

To protect me, said Dylan, leaning into Charlize's arms.

“You always bear the burden of being alone and saving me. To protect me. But, Master, I only like Master like you.”

"Even though you know who I am?"

"I like it even that way."

Charlize was out of breath for a moment.

For a moment, it felt familiar to him to be human.

It was a very obvious fact, but he suddenly realized that Dylan was a human.

He understands Charlize. He sympathizes. He hugged and wrapped everything.

How could?

Why isn't he angry? Do you like me very much?

There was no way to interpret this incomprehensible situation other than Dylan's love. Charlize used Dylan and left without explaining.

"Yes, I'm leaving you."

So now you have to be mad at me. You have to ask yourself why I did that.

Whether it's shouting, crying, or spilling emotions, you can actually accept it all.

Don't just side with me while looking at me with a friendly look, defending me. Why are you treating me like that?

I don't deserve to be treated like this.

What's the reason for being so low to me? Why are you doing this for me?

“I fully understand the reason why you want to kill the magic tower. And."

Charlize's breathing slightly shook.

“Thank you for telling me this difficult story. Seriously so."

“... I'm late to say it.”

"No. I know this is a hard story to tell. Thank you for allowing me to know your burden. ”

It was a complete understanding that he had never even received from his parents.

Moreover, it was a hug that even Charlize did not show Dylan. Because Charlize always asks Dylan.

Because he taught her to grow up as a tyrant. Leaving a nuance that Dylan would not admit, not a tyrant.

Charlize had been cruel to Dylan. He lived up to Charlize's expectations because he was Dylan, but he knew how cruel the demands were for being a tyrant.

Dylan kept telling her that he didn't care who Charlize was. He was so far away that he couldn't believe it.

“My heart is broken to think that you must be keeping such a secret alone. It breaks my heart, Master.”

"You…"

He can't speak.

Those words shook Charlize too loudly.

So, Charlize did not realize that Dylan, who looked dangerous, changed and whispered sweetly. It was an area he desperately needed.

“Thank you for protecting me.”

Dylan usually could not get close to Charlize's thoughts, but now that she was weakened, he could guess.

Of course, it was too much to have the other inner side as deep as the abyss. Dylan realized that Charlize was heartbroken right now.

“Thank you for protecting me for three years.”Dylan said seriously.

“…”

"But, Master, I want to ask you one thing."

"…Say."

“I'm what do you want Kiera to kill?”

Charlize felt that she should immediately answer at this moment.

That's actually a good idea.

Because if he didn't answer, Dylan even thought of doing whatever he wanted, even if he would be loved or hated by Charlize.

'That's a relief.'

He couldn't kill Alperier, but he could persuade him. Dylan intended to move silently this time around if he could not even pretend to be weak. Charlize opened her mouth.

"Your Majesty."

The worry is over. If he knows, he'd better just tell him.

“You really are part of Ehyrit.”

Charlize added in a whisper.

Speaking informally returns to honor. Charlize was no longer Kiera, but Charlize again.

And.

“As expected, it is.”

Dylan replied with a calm face.

It was something unexpected.

Charlize blinked for a moment.

Because he didn't seem confused in the least.

Charlize who was staring at Dylan's face finally came to a realization.

"Maybe it's not something you don't know."

What he thought was the secret of existence, he hugged Charlize alone.

He's a little surprised.

Dylan's eyes were fixed on Charlize.

"I know that."
