Escape From The Tyrant

The True Identity of Evil Gods (4)

“No need, Your Highness.”

Charlize stopped Dylan.

If he nodded his head, the country would soon be destroyed.

Dylan, who must have been serious, looked at Charlize and kissed the tip of her hair.

"Teachers are generous."

In the future, no matter how artistic and expensive the dress might be, there seemed to be a rule that Charlize would have to hand it over to the Emperor.

Charlize had just come to see Dylan, but…

"Go."

“I went to His Majesty's blessing, and I was touched. I will never forget him, Your Grace.”

The messenger shivered down the stairs.

He bent so deep that he would fall. He fortunately did not stumble while descending the stairs, probably out of a desperate desire not to escape the emperor's gaze.

The next envoy looked very nervous.

“In the Kingdom of Leth.. we have prepared Turkish Delight, dessert.”.

Turkish Delights.

It is a sweet food characterized by a strong sweet taste, also called Lokum. It has a soft blue color that is covered with coconut powder, but when cut it will be blue and clear.

“…”

This time, Dylan's eyes looked at him. Charlize just blinked indifferently.

"Isn't this the Lokum that Master likes?"

“?”

"Should we cherish the Kingdom of Leth?"

Dylan's eyes folded softly. Her soft and friendly eyes seemed to have no ulterior motives.

The envoy who heard the story of the destruction due to a dress seemed empty with a sense of deprivation. However, the current envoy, who offered Lokum, opened his eyes wide.

Perhaps he was dumbfounded by the good fortune that might be bestowed with a nod of Charlize's head.

"Or don't you like it?"

In an instant, an emotionless coolness flashed across his gentle eyes. Charlize realized too late from her thoughts and shook her head.

"No. Please do as Your Majesty wishes. ”

"Then I'll give him a gift."

"…Yes.Yes."

The envoys glared at the national flag of the Kingdom of Leth with jealous eyes.

"You're trying to give me strength."

Charlize thought slowly.

Since Dylan was only being humble towards Charlize, everyone would put his wishes above the Emperor's.

The waiter picked up Lokum's box and displayed it at a table near Charlize.

If Charlize hadn't eaten it herself, Dylan would have fed her, so she ate first. Dylan looked rather proud as if he had seen a bird eating well.

Actually, Charlize wasn't wrong. That was also true, as Dylan was tired of the recent offerings from the kingdom.

Although she would not reveal it to Charlize, there were many attempts to bring women into the royal situation without an empress or even a queen.

Although they tried to sneak into Dylan's room, they were all captured by Shadow earlier and expelled, so there was no chance they would meet each other.

It was only necessary to reveal it perfectly once in the entire world and warn him.

'The Emperor's woman is only one.'

It was Charlize Ronan. Only he would be the Emperor's only lover and companion.

Charlize put Lokum in her mouth and ate it very deliciously.

'That makes me feel better when I eat sweet foods.'

As a genuine product, it feels amazing.

He thought Dylan had only seen him eat Lokum and enjoy it in front of him just once, but he wondered how he could know.

Dylan, meanwhile, quickly looked at the envoys. In the eyes of the emperor, the national flags of some countries that tried to use beauty traps that were not even good enough were shaken.

This was because the envoy unintentionally gasped and waved the flag-wielding hand.

Everyone knows and keeps their heads down.

When the continents were united, the number of kingdoms was innumerable, and after that, the procession of the original products continued for a long time.

After the official schedule ended, Charlize was escorted by Dylan to the park.

The royal garden is fresh.

"For the first time, I think I don't know how you'll be recorded in history later."

He spoke openly like a thin fog. Dylan looked at the flower beside Charlize and said.

"What do you think it'll be recorded?"

“Entahlah.. Beauty of a woman who hides the wisdom of the emperor? The achievement of continental unification is a record that will not be broken even after hundreds of years, and you will also get attention.”

"You said that you were worried that I would be recorded as a tyrant and with a state of war."

Charlize nodded in silence because it was not wrong.

The smell of flowers tickled the tip of his nose. This is very nice. According to Charlize's taste, only incense flowers were collected.

Dylan grabbed Charlize's hand and said. It was a simple hand grip, but Dylan's warmth made him feel strange.

"I don't mean to leave this fact alone in the history books, I."

“…?”

“When I see the case of the emperor known as tyrant in the history books, I doubt if he is really tyrant.”Dylan said slowly.

“Because a true ruler will not let a librarian record your history while remaining independent.”

"…Well."

"No matter what you worry about, it won't happen, Master."

He's not too worried.

It was a path of defeat that was only for revenge from the very beginning.

He doesn't care how it's recorded. He was only worried about Dylan's posthumous reputation.

"I was worried before."

Dylan is a genius. Although he never forgot that fact, he was shocked again.

Charlize looked at Dylan. He would only stare at her for a while, but somehow he could not let go of his gaze.

“…”

There is a strange tension. They only made eye contact, but in an instant, the warmth mixed into embarrassment.

Although his eyes were not exaggerated, there was something on Dylan that attracted people. He's breathing.

Everyone was breathing, but Dylan felt special. He wondered if kissing would give him a sense of Lokum, but the thought crossed his mind reflexively.

dylan said, suddenly breaking the silence. His short black hair looks soft. The tip of her finger recalled the strange sensation she felt as she stroked her hair.

“...Maybe it's a night when you're vulnerable to murder.”

"Yes the teacher."

Dylan laughed softly. Charlize felt a little strange to Dylan.

“Shadow is away, and Master said that you will be next to me.”

"…Yes.Yes."

“Do you remember the day when we saw fireworks together? Tonight, a little different with fireworks, but I prepared a special sky.”

“…”

“I want to spend the night with you. I'm not forcing you, but I just miss you.”

How could he be so gentle and loving?

On the first day he became Dylan's teacher, an assassin entered his room. Charlize heard that the 13th Prince, who was still a boy, was also handling the killer himself.

Emperors who had reached the highest level of masters through Charlize's teachings were not afraid of assassination attempts.

Asking her to protect him was only a weak excuse, but it was a subtle hint that she wanted to have sexual intercourse.

Charlize hesitated, then she plucked the flower for a bit. And he put it in Dylan's hand.

"…What is it?"

“You always set up a new sky, so I want to give you something.”

"Hasn't Gutu given me the throne?"

Charlize did not show off at all, but she was the one who contributed greatly to Dylan's ascension to the throne.

“... I like to see the sky. Especially if it is a special sky.”

Charlize lowered her eyes and spoke, then slowly raised her eyes to meet Dylan's eyes.

The mysterious sea blue eyes that resembled the universe were extremely beautiful. He did not know if it was because of his speciality that was why he was fascinated by Charlize's eyes no matter how many times she saw him.

Charlize's eyes slowly curved. Dylan felt strange about the first flower he received from a woman. Not that he didn't like it, but he felt numb.

"I wish the night would come sooner."

Both Charlize and Dylan forgot about the problem caused by the current secretive death tower.

They both just enjoy time together.

The Grand Duchy Ronan.

The second young master, Dante, barely suppressed the urge to behead him. Damnit. He didn't just want to cut off his head.

If possible, he wanted to dispose of the dignity of high-ranking nobles, and swear at them as much as he could. To whom?

To Dante himself.

“Why do I do that?”

If he regretted it and thought that regretting it could be the end of it, he was wrong.

His attitude towards Charlize in the past was immoral and immoral no matter how much he thought about it.

It was so painful that he felt disappointed with himself even though he was suffering so much.

He felt like he was stuck in the middle of a vicious cycle that could never be broken. Is it really just Dante?

Perhaps Will and the Grand Duke will live with the same regret. It was endless, like a swamp the more you struggled to get out, the deeper you fell.

“…”

It had been a few years since he could not sleep due to nervousness.

Dante finally put down the sword he was holding. Although he had never heard that he was as good as Akan, the level of talent that made him stand out was recognized. But now, he had no affection for swordsmanship.

He was sure Charlize wanted it too.

He won't ask for much. Even if he was outspoken, if only they did not ignore him.

If only they had given as much support as the family would give her like a young noblewoman when she grew up.

At least he wouldn't let the servants ignore him, and if he said one sentence to Charlize, 'You're also our family.'

"Very far…"

That's not gonna happen.

All this happened because of Ronan himself. From start to finish, they were extremely ruthless towards Charlize, for no reason.

He missed Charlize.

Yeah, he misses her. He wants to see his sister. He wants to see his family. In fact, it was not the natural attraction of the bloodline.

But he can't see it. He was ashamed to say it. He knew it was not a topic to visit. To honor Ronan, to Dylan. They resisted and even rebelled, but they survived.

"It must be thanks to Charlize who saved my life."

Because Ronan's disposition was so generous that even those who followed the emperor rarely objected.

He wanted to be forgiven, but he knew that day would never come.

She missed Charlize, who was like a thorn in her lungs, every time she breathed. Hungry for Charlize's love. He knew he would live like that.

“... Bring me a drink.”

"Young Master."

Dante's entourage hesitated as if worried, but the young master had no expression on his face.

“I won't order it twice.”

Dante looked back.

Ronan's authority within the Grand Duchy remains, but he won't stand out as he once did.

The rebel family label will be passed down from generation to generation. But it doesn't matter.

If he did not calm these empty thoughts somehow, he felt like he was going crazy.

***

The sky is incredible.

call Charlize slowly.

“Ah... beautiful.”

That must be magic.

The night sky seen from the Imperial Palace was not as bright as usual darkness, but it was red in color.

To be exact, it's pink.

The color of the sky he had seen for the first time made him feel strange. It didn't feel real, so he felt like he was floating, and it was kind of interesting.

"Your Majesty."

Charlize kissed Dylan's lips without telling him first.
