Escape From The Tyrant

The True Identity of Evil Gods (6)

The morning sun is shining.

Dylan looked at Charlize. He kept looking at her. He would rather have slept. Because he can see her as much as he wants.

Dylan knows. If the mixed emotions in his eyes were no longer pure and refreshing.

“…”

But it doesn't matter.

Everything was peaceful only when he slept. It's fixed. This was a quiet sleep resembling death, so if he wanted full ownership, it was more appropriate now.

But time passed. Charlize's eyelids are shaking. He'll open his eyes soon. Sleep does not last forever.

"…Are you awake?"

Dylan stroked her gently, looking at her blurred eyes.

She held Charlize with her upper body raised beside the bed. Heat pressure. However, he placed it in his arms so gently that he would not feel the urge to escape.

Charlize was breathing quietly in warmth. A small breath in his ear.

Dylan was a little relaxed.

Suddenly, in Charlize's eyes, Dylan was completely caught. His fingers were tidying up Dylan's hair.

"I like you, Your Majesty."

With a slightly helpless and sleepy face, his heart ached from the first word. Dylan flinched as if he was suddenly attacked by an unexpected attack.

"I have to give him an answer."

That's what lovers do.

However, for a moment, he was dazed and knew the answer, but he could not immediately answer it.

"…I love you."

Without any modifiers, he meant it.

When Charlize looked at Dylan, she opened her arms and hugged him around her neck. Then he pulled gently onto the bed.

Originally, she had prepared a sumptuous meal for Charlize for breakfast, but the moment she only held her neck.

His heart trembled and he placed his hands on the blanket. The blanket was warm, with Charlize's warmth remaining. Pleasant sunlight tickles the skin. Morning time.

"It's a sudden thought, but I've never given you much praise."

"Yes…"

"Because of that…"

His hands caressed her as if he was doing this affectionately. When he was a boy in the past, he would be loyal and follow him blindly.

“Good work, all this time. Well done, Your Majesty. Thank you as always.”

“I more..”

Their gazes were entangled, and Dylan sat completely on the bed. He had many plans because it was a morning in the Imperial Palace with him after a long time, but he wondered what it had to do with it. Charlize, do it like this.

Does he know he's trying to be sharp?

Dylan's eyes turned to Charlize. It seems like he said he knew something.

Yes, Dylan thought he would never be guessed by anyone, but he was always guessed by Charlize.

'No matter how much you know the future.'

It was a brilliant insight, different from Kahu. When Dylan had absolute confidence in Charlize, he left without saying a word.

That was why, even now, he looked at her with limits, rather than full confidence, but it was also true that she had softened a little.

"I'll call the young duke."

"Is that so?"

Dylan risked his life to swear.

So he couldn't force Charlize, and he couldn't help but obey. But his heart hurts.

“Can I ask why?”

“He went back in time, and he must have witnessed many situations about Kiera as a person I didn't know.”

Charlize continued slowly.

"Maybe there's a clue."

He did not want Charlize to think about Kahu anymore.

"He may be a clue that relates to a secret magic tower."

In the end, it meant that he would work with Kahu again. Dylan managed to suppress his growing jealousy towards Kahu.

"Aren't you on vacation with me and handing over all the work to your subordinates?"

He lowered his voice and looked at Charlize and tilted his head. He knew that this posture and expression made Charlize weak the most.

Charlize was also secretly weak in beauty. And, as intended, the tyrant looked extremely pitiful on the outside.

Blinks.

Charlize closed her eyes and opened them. He ran through the back of Dylan's head as if digging into him with his palm. As expected, it tastes good.

"Well, come to think of it, Your Majesty, stay with me."

“…”

Dylan fell silent.

But it's not bad. Now he means he won't hide his conversation with Kahu from Dylan.

Shadow used to report that Charlize had often made a wall barrier where in the past and they had not heard what she was talking about. The one who always says apology is Kahu.

'When I met the child in the orphanage, Master had made a wall barrier where.'

That was the distance that Dylan first witnessed. Maybe he remembered the girl's name was Gold.

But, at least for now, he said he would talk to Kahu in front of Dylan.

'Is this relationship growing?'

It's good to be closer. Dylan nodded his head.

Of course, no matter how hard he tried to think positively, that seething strange feeling was not easily eliminated.

Kahu's salvation was not included in his vow, so he wanted to kill him, but he would be sad.

"But one day when he forgets her."

Dylan immediately wiped out those jealous thoughts.

Charlize, who was unaware of Dylan's feelings, smiled gently in the Emperor's gaze.

The grandmaster was very seductive.

***

He asked them to wait for a while, so everyone went through the clues and looked at Payne. The tense atmosphere was gripping.

"When the hidden pattern in the darkness is revealed."

Payne's voice is weakening.

"Nature will shine bright."

Etyam Voujir's.

It was a document that was bewitched with protection magic. Even passwords written in ancient languages that ordinary people could not easily decipher were scattered irregularly like earthworms.

However, as Payne continued to chant, the powerful protective magic was broken. The blue light stood on top of the code, and it fused together in sentences like gears that were interlocking.

It was an ancient language code that had the right shape just after each letter.

Since Payne is usually just showing a playful side, V and Lucy remain silent at the moment and take notice.

“…!”

The way the blue light spread was very mysterious.

Rapine, who arrived late after hearing Shadow's message, also stopped and looked at Payne.

Lucy's expression is sharp. Because he's tied to Charlize. Now he was undeniably by her side.

"What is it written on?"

When Lucy asked, Payne answered slowly. Since he had to speak while deciphering the code, his pronunciation was very clear and accurate.

But the ending is not finished. Payne's mouth closed.

'This.'

A very surprising piece of unexpected information.

They should move out soon.

“We need to meet the leader, right now.”

The clue was tangled in Payne's grasp. This clue was dangerous for Charlize. It was a fact that he realized as if he felt it.

Payne raised his head and immediately turned around.

An unusual reaction. They noticed that it was a clue strongly related to Charlize. Everyone's faces were shocked and worried.

***

“From whom this letter came?”

"From the grandmaster."

Kahu stiffened in surprise. He could not believe he had to ask the sender again even though he had already heard it.

In the letter given by the envoy, it was clearly written that he should come to the Imperial Palace.

I have a question, I want to ask you to come to the Imperial Palace.

His Majesty will also be there.

From Charlize.

He had never met Charlize before, because Dylan, conscious and unconscious, interrupted the meeting in the middle.

It is also against custom to meet in person with a grandmaster who is officially declared the emperor's lover.

He thought he had forgotten about it, but his heart suddenly thumped like a thorn. Even after 3 years had passed, Charlize's figure was still before her eyes.

'Is it because he was my first love?'

Charlize had clearly rejected Kahu's feelings from the start. Even when they talk about their marriage, she says that she has no intention of marrying Kahu, but she secretly draws a line saying that she is not single.

He thought it impolite to be arrested by anyone, but his feelings were not easily covered up.

Love does not flow freely.

"Tell the grandmaster I'll be there soon."

"Yes." Yeah."

The messenger bowed and retreated.

I changed her clothes first. He had to go to the Imperial Palace for the work of the knights.

Since it was only a place to greet the emperor and the grandmaster, he had to wear clothes that were fitting for him, not the knight uniform that he was wearing now.

He soon arrived at the Imperial Palace.

Mary, the maid, went out and guided Kahu politely. The place he was invited to was the Imperial Palace, the center of the Imperial Palace, and the VIP room, which was also the core of the palace.

A typical soundproof spot and is usually used when it comes to having a very secretive conversation.

What kind of questions would he ask?

"I greet His Majesty the Emperor and the grandmaster."

Fortunately, his voice did not shake. Kahu raised his head slowly.

And there sat Charlize, whom she met after three years. The mysterious ash blonde was still beautiful as if shining by mixing the moonlight and sunlight evenly.

His eyes were like calm, smooth-scented candles. The blue eyes of the sea were silent. Sometimes he wondered what it would be like if he didn't disappear before returning to the past.

If so, then,

"For a long time no see, young duke" said Dylan, turning away from him, and not accepting Kahu's greeting.

Kahu's back neck was stiffened momentarily by the emperor's atmosphere. For the past three years without Charlize, she had been often alone with Dylan.

The horror and fear he felt at all times.

The suffocating pressure is still the same. I know I'm scared of Dylan.

No matter how many animals pretended to be gentle sheep, how could he not know that he was playing on the head of a coach?

"Please sit down."

"Yes." Yeah."

At Charlize's suggestion, Kahu sat down. He became more cautious with his stiff attitude.

Nothing would happen now, but if he had an unnecessary conversation in private.

'In an invisible place.'

A hand will be stretched out.

"It's not fun."

But the discomfort Kahu felt was not an illusion. Because Dylan was really unhappy with him.

Is it because of Charlize? But it's not the only one. It's always like that. Surprisingly, there was a clear feeling of rejection in his mind.

'Like a perfect physiological mismatch.'

Dylan sometimes suddenly read the essence. Is it like this now?

Kahu looked at Charlize, and the feeling of seeing her was very strange. Not like Charlize being attacked by monsters, but it felt like a monster that was not in line with nature was staring at her.

“Kahu.”

Charlize attracted attention.

In front of his name that was first called, Kahu was stunned for a moment.

"Do you know why you're going back in time?"Charlize asked calmly.

The question is, do you know why you went back in time?

not only do you eat a piece of Ehyrit, but you must absorb it completely and make it yours to remember the time before going back to the past like Charlize and the late Emperor.

'Did Kahu ever do that?'

Speaking informally is natural, and no one shows it.

"What do you do before you go back in time?"

The voice was casually thrown out, but it was the most accurate question. When Charlize, who has always respected him, speaks informally, Kahu realizes the intimidation and importance of it.

Kahu nervously held his hand under the table.

“My answer is the same as three years ago, grandmaster.I lead a peaceful life, but my memory is cut off.”

The ancient gods who suddenly appeared roamed around Charlize and whispered.

Since they were Charlize's only loyal followers, they were invisible to no one but her.

Only Charlize paid attention to the word choices of the gods.

'Finished it?'

Does that mean Kahu has a memory that's stopped like Charlize?

Charlize looked straight at Kahu's green eyes. A good impression resembles the green of nature. Beside him, the ancient gods flapped their wings with the bodies of fairies.

“Kahu?”

Kahu, who had just been sweating coldly and nervously, stiffened and raised his head.

There was a moment of silence. But soon Kahu's face paled.

His trembling and anxious eyes trembled aimlessly. His voice is unstable.

It was as if he had remembered something.

"I…"

“…”

"I'm also missing."
