Escape From The Tyrant

Taming the Tyrant of the Future Bag.5

The party is over.

Charlize let out a sigh of relief as soon as she returned to the 13th prince's palace.

'I live.'

It was unpleasant as people's gazes felt sticky on his skin.

Also, the dazzling chandelier lights made his eyes feel heavy. He could not even eat properly, so he endured all of this on an empty stomach.

"Now it really feels like my home."

The 13th prince's palace was not large, but offered everything for him.

This place was much more convenient than a luxurious inn for the selection of sword competition.

'I feel relieved and feel like I have returned to a safe place.'

'I became attached to you even though I didn't know you.'

"My Lady! You're back."

Mary approached with a bright smile. Upon seeing Charlize's face, it quickly softened.

“I want to take a shower. Can you go take warm water?”

"ah! Yes, my lady."

Charlize turned around, pretending not to know. She knew Mary, who had a great romantic imagination, would love to gossip about Kahu, but she didn't like it.

Mary wisely retreated.

Charlize just wanted to clean up. Whenever her emotions are so complicated, she likes to take a shower.

Calm…

Soon she heard that the bathtub had been filled with water, so she went to the bathroom and took a bath for a long time.

He lowered himself into the water with his eyes open. His face was completely covered.

The waves sway. Temperature of warm water touching naked body. Floating hair.and a complicated feeling.

'I wish I could forget everything. Knower. Knower. Kahu.'

'What am I thinking?'

'No, it's none of my business. Revenge is the most important thing. Vindictiveness. Let's get it out. Anything that is not necessary. No sympathy, no joy, no curiosity, no pounding heart, no feeling left…'

There really isn't much time left.

The 7th concubine will be dead soon.

'Dead.'

Charlize suddenly raised her upper body. There was a crackling sound. Water drops falling.

He didn't want to leave the bathroom. He gathered his knees and placed his chin on it.

Gasping for air, he buried his head. He sat like that for a long time.

***

Charlize dried her hair…

Thoughtlessly.

Her face was red after a long shower. It was quite hot, so he left the windows and doors open.

'I feel better every time the cool night breeze sweeps my skin.'

'By the way, the most important thing remains. Soon the 7th concubine would complain of excruciating pain. Today then? or Tomorrow?'

"Prince! We're in big trouble! 7th concubine!”

'That's Today.'

Charlize's face hardened.

Charlize's hand, which was drying her hair, suddenly stopped moving. Charlize slowly placed the towel on her lap.

Shortly after, he heard Dylan's door open.

'Perhaps now, you have heard the news that the 7th concubine is very delirious and complains of pain.'

Dylan's face showed a puzzled expression. He's in a hurry.

Charlize saw Dylan running through the open door in fear.

Dylan, who ran out as soon as he woke up, was extremely disheveled.

Charlize suddenly realized how neat Dylan usually was.

Dylan, whom he met every breakfast, was always neat and calm.

'For now, let's wait until morning.'

He could directly give Heelu's potion to her, but at least he would have to wait until morning.

Dylan had to see the 7th concubine writhing in pain with her own eyes. He must be anxious and tired.

For the most dramatic effect, he had to hand over the Heelu potion back then.

'you may be upset and ask why I'm not giving it to you right now, but I can't help it.'

In the end, only thanks are left. Is it because she had met the 7th concubine?

He couldn't concentrate at all.

***

Time passes very slowly. It was a more painful time for the 7th concubine than it was for Dylan himself.

"The prince asked me to tell you that he can't attend class today."

At last.

The news came to him.

Now he had a reason to move. Charlize, who was having breakfast, put down her fork in relief.

"really?"

“Ya, the 7th concubine was in great pain.. In the middle of the night, she had an emergency consultation with a doctor but she did not improve.”.

“Definitely difficult.”

Charlize closed her mouth once before saying.

"As a teacher, I must support the prince by his side."

Charlize got up from her seat.

He had already packed a bottle of Heelu potion in his hand.

Charlize has a good memory.

Charlize soon arrived near the building. It was close to the building where the 7th concubine lived. A deafening and ear-piercing scream sounded.

“Aaah!”

The closer he got to the building, the louder the screams he heard.

She remembered the classy and elegant 7th concubine. How painful it was for him to scream until his throat was torn.

“What's up, Miss?”

"I'm here to see the prince."

“...Please wait a minute.”

After courteously retreating, the maid immediately guided Charlize to Dylan.

Dylan was in the 7th concubine's bedroom. He caught a glimpse of a pitiful sight through the open door.

The 7th concubine cried from suffering in bed. Medical staff are nervous.

"They're incompetent."

Until the time the 7th concubine died, there was no solution to relieve her pain.

Dylan came out with a waiter. The waiter walked behind Dylan's back, and after a while, the door closed behind him.

A short and slow scream behind the door.

Dylan looks very sensitive.

“What's up, Master? I thought I told you through the waiter that I couldn't take class today.”.

"But I have something to give you."

"What's that?"

The boy, who shortened his words, frowned at this moment. There was something unusual, but it was his face that made him wonder.

For a moment Dylan's face hardened.

“We'd better talk alone. Guru."

"okay."

The 7th concubine's building was spacious.

Dylan entered the empty room, and Charlize followed quietly. He purposely put his hands together politely.

Dylan glanced at the bottle in Charlize's hand. The bottle was black, so he had no idea what was inside.

Charlize handed the bottle to Dylan.

Dylan read Charlize's unusual mood and opened the bottle without asking.

And there.

'Ranquet-Heelu.'

There's a heelu potion in it.

Known to be extremely rare, even the Imperial Emperor only had one precious medicine.

Charlize's nervous. No matter how Dylan reacted, he was willing to accept everything. Just for today.

"It's…"

Dilan's voice vibrated.

“Isn't this Heelu's potion? It is said that all the pain will heal just by boiling and eating it as if it has healed.

Dylan is smart. Recalling some clues, he quickly figured out how to piece together the big picture. Charlize looked at Dylan's increasingly curious expression.

"Do you want Heelu's potion as the winner of the sword competition?"

Charlize remained silent. Dylan, who interpreted silence as yes, sighed and grabbed the bottle.

A piece of suppressed emotion pierced Charlize's skin painfully.

“...I, I don't know you.”

Charlize jerks. A shocked voice came out from his throat. This was the first time he had heard Dylan speak informally.

Maybe that's why it sounds more annoying.

“Why are you approaching me?”

Dylan bit his lip.

"What are you going to do to me now?"

The prince seemed busy regulating his emotions.

A moment passed, and Dylan left the room.

He called the waiter.

He heard his voice command to make a tea made with Heelu potion.

***

The 7th concubine seemed to notice that her pain had gone.

Dylan was close to taking care of his mother. The 7th concubine held hands with Dylan as if praying.

The boy's posture closed his eyes and buried his head looking smooth.

Charlize hesitated. As soon as he drank the tea made from Heelu potion, there were some shouts from the 7th concubine.

Then the 7th concubine asked where she got the Heelu potion from. Dylan replied that it was from his Master, whose name was Charlize.

So now there were only three people in the bedroom, Dylan, Charlize, and the 7th concubine.

“…”

Dylan said nothing. The silence was heavy.

The breath of the 7th concubine was still rough and urgent.

Charlize lived for a long time as a 'Keira'. Perhaps due to her age of hundreds of years, Charlize could feel the death energy within the 7th concubine.

And maybe the 7th concubine.

It'll be dead soon.

"Close to."

Dylan told Charlize after hearing the whisper of the 7th concubine. He desperately avoided looking at her.

Charlize approached the 7th concubine. Perhaps the thought that these words might be the will of the 7th concubine left in his mind flashed through his mind.

Dylan let go of his mother's hand, and Charlize sat down. The chair was hot which proved Dylan's tension.

The 7th concubine licked her lips. She didn't sound good, so Charlize put her ears close.

"…My son."

The faint sound as if it was about to fade away.

“I look forward to your good cooperation.”

Every word is pulled out again and again.

At that moment, Charlize felt her heart thump.

'Why?'

'My mind is complicated. It felt like something heavy was placed on my chest. It seemed stuffy, choking, and suffocating. '

"Teacher."

"… Yeah."

Charlize tried not to tremble. As if to thank her, the gaze of the 7th concubine desperately chased after Charlize.

An expression of gratitude for the pain, no matter what the circumstances, or whatever the story in it.

The face of the 7th concubine who was smiling faintly was unclear.

"I'll do it, Your Majesty."

Only after she heard a definite answer did the 7th concubine feel relieved and choose to release the strength of her hand that was holding Charlize.

The 7th concubine slowly closed her eyes. He may not be dead, but soon.

She must have been tired because she had been crying since dawn. The 7th concubine slowly fell asleep.

Charlize got up without looking at Dylan.

Dylan didn't talk to Charlize. Charlize left after saluting without a sound.

***

Before he returned to the past in time, the boy was unable to witness the death of the 7th concubine.

Charlize lives with a strong desire to find out what caused Dylan to vacate the imperial palace.

It was meant to cause his death.

Fortunately or unlucky, however, Dylan never left the palace. Then, Dylan would tell him:

[Actually, before receiving the Heelu potion, I tried to have a little hope. I was thinking of going to Dark Street to get Heelu's own potion. For some reason, thanks to Master wanting the Heelu potion as the winner's hope to save us.]

Thankfully, Charlize could understand.

Before she returned to the past, unfortunately, when Dylan went to get Heelu's potion, the 7th concubine suddenly died.

Given that Dylan was so distressed by guilt before he returned to the past, by twisting the flow of time Charlize had saved the boy.

'The plot to turn him into a tyrant ended up saving him ...'

That's ironic, but it's true.

As a result, Dylan did not have to leave the side of the 7th concubine for a second.

Dylan treated the 7th concubine who was now painless and comfortable every day.

The class was interrupted, but Charlize was in no hurry. Charlize lived quietly, filling the empty time alone.

After a while, the news came out.

As Charlize thought.

It was the news of the death of the 7th concubine.
