It was the first time.
He expressed his emotions very harshly. He could not stop crying just by looking at Dylan's face.
When he had a bad nightmare, he shed tears, but those were soundless tears. Not the loud cry that it is now.
“Who dares make Master cry?”
He was always friendly, but now he had a very friendly voice.
Dylan was so good that he would probably kill them if he mentioned the name of a certain person here.
“…”
Not knowing what to say, Charlize hugged Dylan's neck.
Dylan looked puzzled, but quietly hugged him.
He sighed. The tears flowing down her cheeks and wetting her lips were squeezed out.
"Dylan's safe."
He knows it. Until now, Dylan had met Kahu a lot, but he was not hurt.
So, even if Kahu and Dylan were left alone with kahu, there would be no immediate danger.
Kahu is said to be an evil god, but the evil god is still sealed and not awakened. Charlize's mind went blank for a moment.
He stood up straight, releasing Dylan. When she turned her head to look at Kahu, she had a complicated expression on her face.
Charlize doesn't know what it's like to see your first love cry in another man's arms. He was not interested in his strange, trembling eyes.
'Don't kill Kahu.'
Charlize repeated it to herself again. The ancient gods, still in a fairy-like body, stood beside Kahu and flapped their wings.
The ancient gods were truly unbelievable. Even when Charlize misunderstood herself as an evil god, they did not correct her.
There's a lot to hide.
If he were to let the word 'open', this time, the evil god would probably wake up from Kahu.
Charlize ignored them, pretending not to hear.
He just looked at Kahu. He did not know whether his tears were still flowing or not.
Even though his cheeks were hot, there was no need to wipe them. He just asked.
"You know, don't you have any memory of your passing?"
His tone was as antiques as Kiera's. Kahu's green eyes trembled for a moment looking at his cold expression.
Payne, who first entered, looked at Charlize and Kahu in turn. Kahu lowered his gaze. His skin is quite white to pale.
“I... I guess not..”
"Have you ever heard the word evil god?"
Kahu's eyes widened. Perhaps due to the anger of the gods, Kahu's breathing began to grow faster again.
'Even if you don't remember, you're surprised.'
Kahu was also a victim.
Although not a victim of Project Kiera, she is a victim of a secret magic tower.
Charlize took a step closer to Kahu. Panicking, Payne runs to Kahu, asking if he is okay.
But it was too late. Payne manages to catch Kahu before he faints, but that doesn't stop him from fainting.
"He fainted! What are we gonna do?"
Payne asked Charlize, not knowing what to do.
Looking at the unconscious Kahu, Charlize slowly opened her lips. Finally, he was completely sure.
"It must be trauma."
It must have been a tremendous pain comparable to Project Kiera. How absurd it is to be a container for evil gods while still alive.
Clearly without seeing what the secret magic tower had done to make it happen. Maybe that's why Kahu sealed his memory.
Charlize looked at Dylan for a moment. He was crying, so his vision was unclear.
Dylan looked at Charlize with an understanding look without much explanation.
He just looked like he understood. It seems that he is not interested in Kahu at all. The only predictable emotion was his attention to Charlize.
If it's okay to explain later, the conversation with Dylan should be postponed. Charlize looked at Payne again who was holding Kahu.
“Payne, what do you think I should do?”
"You don't have to kill him."
"I think so."
Charlize continued slowly.
“But if he is left unattended, it is dangerous for everyone, so we have to isolate him. The Rapine clan, who knows how to deal with ferocious beasts, can deal with evil, so it would be better to send him to the village.”.
Charlize looked at Chase.
Chase who had just arrived, looked at Charlize directly and looked a little confused for a moment. Maybe because of the trail of tears.
But Charlize did not care and ordered.
“Chase, you alone are in charge of Kahu. Take him to the village and protect him.”
"…I understand."
He did not explain the reason, but Charlize's orders were absolute.
“We must secure the identity of the young duke. Don't forget to keep everything a secret.”
Chase nodded.
Because Payne only shares information with Charlize, only Charlize and Payne know that Kahu is an evil god.
Except for Dylan, who looked at the entire situation with limited information, even his subordinates did not fully understand the situation.
But everyone believed in Charlize. That's all that matters.
Charlize looked at Shadow and gave the order.
“Tell Duke Delmon that the young duke did not do his secret mission with the grandmaster. He won't be able to return to the Grand Duchy for a while.”
"Yes." Yeah."
"I obey the grandmaster's orders."
V and Hugo lowered their heads in turn.
“And make sure to find the secret magic tower headquarters. As soon as you find it, share the information to each other and let me know.”
"I will carry out your orders."
Although he was drowning in emotions, his judgment was cold. No, rather, he felt his mind more clear.
As if they had been waiting for Charlize's orders, they arranged and accepted them.
Charlize instantly found a better idea to capture the secret magic tower, but she needed more time to review it.
And he wants to talk to Dylan first.
It seemed Lucy wanted to talk to Charlize, but Charlize gave the guest an order.
“Go, now. And everybody get out of here. I will speak to His Majesty only the two of you. ”
"Yes, grandmaster."
The situation was quickly resolved. Without thinking of disobeying, everyone moved in unison.
Beyond the figure of ruler and power, Charlize was their leader. A leader they blindly obey.
Shortly after, the door closed. It was only after Dylan and he were left alone in the sealed room that a sigh of relief was exhaled.
“…”
Legs relaxed. Perhaps realizing that, Dylan grabbed Charlize's arm from behind in time.
Without saying a word, Dylan sat Charlize on the sofa, which was the highest seat. He thought Dylan would also sit on the sofa opposite him, but he knelt down.
He looked at Charlize and just lowered his body. The tyrant waited quietly.
“…”
Are my tears still flowing?
Charlize doesn't know.
Just. This silence. It's freaky. And he's happy. He's very relieved.
“...It's the first time I've seen it. Teacher crying.”
"Is that really so?"
“Your eyes are beautiful too, Teacher. Always more than I ever imagined.”
"Did you ever imagine me crying?"
"…Yes. Not this way.”
Dylan laughed briefly. Charlize held her breath for a moment, expecting meaning in it.
Nightly. Fireworks. Flames. All the images that pass are red.
“I just imagine your crying face, but don't imagine that you will cry in front of everyone.”
Dylan's index finger, showing his possessive desires, slowly swept over Charlize's eyes. His fingers were wet with tears.
She's still crying. He realized too late.
“But this is also not a bad thing.Because these tears are caused by me.”
“... Dylan.”
Again the emotions overflowed.
In his hazy gaze, Dylan smiled as if he was in trouble.
“You're crying again? Geez, it was shown to comfort you. ”
Dylan grabbed his hand gently, as if patting Charlize. However, it was not a soft power.
He held her hand warmly, as if giving her a sense of stability by holding her tightly. He knew how broken his heart was.
He knows that, right? He knew how weak he was for her, and he smiled.
She's ruthless. Revenged.
Charlize blamed Dylan, knowing it was a crazy thought.
"Charlize."
“I'm afraid you'll die. I'm afraid Your Majesty will die.”
"I understand."
“I'm afraid I'll kill you. I'm afraid I'm gonna kill you again. I'm so scared.”
"I'm sorry."
“How about you Your Majesty?”
“I should have known earlier. The fact that there are weak people like this.”
Unexpectedly, she was crying. Heart hurts. He gave up a lot of things. The things he had to put down while running for revenge.
He let go of his emotions, he let go of his usual happiness. He didn't go to the academy, he didn't get married, and he didn't think to make memories like most people.
Just for revenge. Just for that.
Because it hurts. Because he could not be human, he cried. He cried in hell that he would pay for the sin of making himself into a sword with only blood.
But now he realized it. More than all that. More than revenge. Actually, he thinks he's more valuable.
"Thank you for not dying."
“How can you say that? I won't die, Charlize.”
"Thank you very much."
Tears welled. Every time he blinked, Dylan became clear and then blurred again.
He doesn't know.
Thank you for coming. I'm so glad to be with you. He didn't want to kill Dylan with his own hands. He wants to be with Dylan.
Truth is. Even if he really died because of her. He wants to be by his side.
Is that love? Can such selfishness be called love?
I'm sorry for being happy. Happy and happy. He doesn't care about revenge. Because he's like a miracle.
Suddenly.
A real piece of Ehyrit that has been painted black with evil. In the eyes of Dylan, who grew up as a tyrant. One tear fell.
It wasn't acting or falsehood to get Charlize. It was just tears.
"Trust me."
"I believe you."
“I will definitely make you happy. I'll erase everything that's bothering you, Charlize, whether it's a secret magic tower or something else. I'll remove it from the world.”
It was Dylan, who had guessed that Kahu was an evil god, seeing Charlize's attitude and orders.
There was also the reason for the Emperor's discomfort.
But Dylan's words didn't go any further. Charlize got off the sofa and hugged Dylan, who was kneeling. Warm Charlize sleeves.
“…”
Dylan blinked in a calm embrace.
She's dazed. Because he felt like he was saved.
Whatever he thought, Charlize was the one who saved Dylan from the swamp of nothingness.
This is a life in which you find meaning in your being. Charlize was a miracle for Dylan.
"Trust me."
“…”
“Because I will definitely protect you. I will definitely make you happy.”
"…I believe you."
Dylan hugged Charlize gently. He hugged her tighter and buried his head around Charlize's neck.
She is his woman.
She was his lover, who could never be hurt, only a precious thing.
"I love you, Charlize."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Other than those words, how else would you express this feeling?
Charlize and Dylan repeatedly expressed their love for each other.
Sun shining. The sunlight flowing through the window gave them a warm glow.
