Escape From The Tyrant

Taming Future Tyrants (10)

The next morning, the document reached the Grand Duke's family.

An application to exit the family members list.

The shocking document was even stamped with an imperial seal.

"Oh no, that's ridiculous," Akan murmured, and frowned.

As long as there was something stamped with the official seal of the imperial family, it could not be ignored anymore.

Above all, it was now fully Charlize's authority, not that of the Grand Duke.

It was just a matter of stepping on him, but even the Grand Duke clicked his tongue and pretended not to notice it.

"Exit from the list of members is impossible."

The Grand Duke thought Charlize had just said that she was just being impulsive.

Since he had asked for it so lightly and easily, he did not take it seriously. Anyway:

He remembered how much effort Charlize had put into being loved by her family.

Effort, yeah. He's been trying. Even though he knew he was turning around. But the pure luster, which he believed would last forever, has now disappeared.

“... He means it, this seems to have really happened.”

Dante commented carefully.

The Grand Duke's cold gaze and Will turn to Dante. Dante flinched, but he had to say something. If this continued, he might lose Charlize forever.

“Honestly, isn't it true we're too cold on Charlize? He complains to us now.”

Of course, it was too insistent to be called simply complaining. Dante purposely used such words to consider the feelings of the Grand Duke and Will.

“Call.”

The Grand Duke, while frowning in displeasure, was still listening.

“Then what should we do?”

“In my opinion, all we can do is calm and repair Charlize's broken heart.

"Who calms whom?"

Will retorted as if he was astonished, but Dante only lowered his gaze.

“But it's the only way. We don't have the power to force Charlize. Now he is a grandmaster.”

The future emperor teacher.

He had risen to a position where he could never be treated carelessly.

All authorities belong to Charlize. It is clear who should survive.

The position to ask for forgiveness and plead now belongs to Ronan's family.

'In a short time.'

Consciousness shuts Ronan's family mouth.

Their position as weak. Especially in their relationship with Charlize, they were not used to this.

There was a long silence.

The Grand Duke's face had turned as hard as a rock. Will, who is looking, go first.

“Don't worry, Dad. I'm going to Charlize and somehow persuade her to change her mind.”

“But brother.. I've repeatedly told you that you can't force it. Instead, it only has an adverse effect.”.

"Who said anything about coercion?"

I'll look at Dante coldly.

“I will respect him. Are you satisfied?"

If he wants to respect it, he can do it. But he hasn't done it so far.

He thought he didn't need to; that was why he treated her carelessly.

When he received the application to exit the family members list, he was a little surprised, but the Grand Duke remained silent. He was usually angered by the unpleasant look as long as someone had just called 'Charlize' in front of him.

“I'll visit Charlize today. Father."

As if asking for permission, Will bowed his head to the Grand Duke. Grand Duke was silent.

Quiet permission.

Will glance at the application to exit the list of family members, then bow politely and step back.

Dante was worried, but he couldn't help it.

Dante's actions were for Charlize's sake, but she also had strong hopes of keeping her sister from leaving.

'My sister…'

Dante bit his lip as a piece of the past suddenly flashed through his mind.

[Mother, I really want a sister. There are already many young masters in our family, so I hope to have a cute little sister.]

[You mean your sister? You mean, you want to be an older brother.]

[Sister is good too. I was so envious to see my friend's little sister, who called him big brother.].

The Grand Duchess looked at him with a warm gaze as if she was adorable. The touch that stroked her head would disappear forever after she gave birth to her little sister.

How did Dante know then?

[When I have a younger sister, I will protect her with my own hands, Mother.]

[Does that make you so happy just by imagining it? you convinced me, Dante.]

She missed the Grand Duchess who always laughed happily. And he felt guilty for his death.

Dante who could not bear it finally started to follow behind Akan.

***

Dylan's right.

He ordered to decorate the bedroom as luxurious as possible.

'That's real.'

Charlize looked around the room in slight surprise.

The ceiling is decorated with jewels. Coat with lace. Bed blanket is a refreshing blue color.

It was too luxurious and big for the bedroom. There is even a white porcelain bathtub. All the furniture is valuable.

There is also a terrace.

Charlize went to the terrace. The cold night wind tickled his cheeks. He feels fresh.

"It's broad."

His bedroom is really big. Wide enough to enjoy light exercise. Like mini golf or…

Come to think of it, it had been a long time since he had last practiced mana. Charlize sat on the velvet while thinking about it.

'Closing your eyes…'

'Mana Circle.'

A mist-shaped ring surrounded his heart. It was clearly red right after he returned to the past, but now …

'It has become very transparent.'

He's been trying to unlock the color. Pink does not change on its own.

Charlize drowned in the process.

He looked into the fog around his heart. He carefully caught a piece of red that glittered like a small speck of dust.

'Let it flow into the air.' This process is repeated over and over again. Until he couldn't see the piece, no matter how much he looked for it.

Concentrates.

The color that becomes more transparent is where it is pure itself.

The total amount of mana the emperor had coated on Keira for over hundreds of years.

Bang out!

There was a sound like broken glass. The voice came from Charlize's heart.

Suddenly, enlightenment struck him like a bolt of lightning. Charlize slowly opened her eyes.

There's.

Like the color of a dark world until now suddenly was right in front of him.

'Is that everything?' Sensors of smell, senses of hearing. They are all very sensitive and not as usual.

'Sense the air flow.'

Charlize grabbed her sword as if possessed.

"Pull it out, swing it."

"It's…"

It's complete.

If he could use the term 'complete' for swordsmanship, he would use it for himself as he is today.

Charlize became a master. He can only know.

'Teach Master' is often used to determine the skill level of knights. But Charlize could no longer be described with the word 'Teacher'.

"Holy sword." (T/N: Gumseong.*)

A legendary level that never existed outside of legends. A divine level that is only considered theoretically. With all the swordsmen under him.

The most extreme level of skill.

He was able to utilize all the mana in his body. The core where Charlize was was the entire world. The seal that bounded it was destroyed.

A completely transparent circle wrapped around his heart.

"Let's test it."

Charlize swung the sword randomly. Cut, block, puncture.

Her hair gently fluttered in the air and then fell down. Natural as flowing water. It's as comfortable as breathing.

Rapid movement of 'cutting' space.

It was able to cut through the airflow and even create a space of darkness.

A room where no one can breathe.

“…”

When Charlize cut through the air again, space came alive.

It was bigger than he had heard and imagined.

With this ability, Charlize could have destroyed the empire alone.

Charlize held the sword intently.

***

"The Grandmaster is teaching His Highness the Crown Prince."

Will look at the waiter who is blocking him.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm his family, and I'm Ronan's next head of the family."

“No matter how valuable Young Master is. The grandmaster decided. ”

"Soge away."

The servant's face showed an unyielding expression, but he couldn't help but strength Akan.

You will have a clean reputation. But when he forced the door open by pushing the waiter aside …

It seems far from the polite personality that people praise.

Peer-up

The iron door was dragged open on the floor. Will enter the room stubbornly.

'How's your class.'

Wouldn't want to be so stubborn like this either. But.

[If I want to meet Charlize, do I have to fill out the application form?]

[There are so many people who want to meet the Grandmaster ... Sorry, I just followed the orders of the superiors and did it according to the procedure.]

The waiter stopped Akan with a crying face.

[I have a higher authority. So, guide me.]

[I'm sorry. With all due respect, but I heard that the Grandmaster made a request to leave the family members list with Ronan's family.]

[That.].

[We cannot guide you without the permission of the Grandmaster. How about just writing the application form ..]

Eventually, Will gives up due to stubbornness and writes the application form. But always rejected.

[I wrote the application form as you said, but came back. How will you be responsible for that?]

[Well, isn't it because Young Master wrote the application so insincerely? Better to write it more gently.].

A poor servant helped him several times, but patience would eventually reach its limit.

That's why he came here recklessly even if he knew it was out of bounds.

"I'm just going to visit class."

Will softly say to the approaching servant with a shy face.

Charlize glanced at Akan and shook her head towards the maid as if to leave her alone.

Only then did the waiter back politely.

“…”

He would bite his lips and sit in a chair.

Neither Charlize nor Dylan paid any attention to Will and focused on the class.

It was a class of swordsmanship that used real swordsmanship.

'How great can a 20-year-old teach the Crown Prince?'

Many people were amazed that Charlize became the Crown Prince's grandmaster at such an early age.

But I will always be skeptical.

The young master only wanted to talk to Charlize.

At first it must have been like that. But…

“The best defense is to attack. When you use a double sword, swing with the idea that the two swords are attacking.”

As Charlize gave a demonstration while smiling kindly at Dylan. Will have to grab his seat.

Two swords shot into the air. It was so fast that his eyes could not even follow where and when the sword was pointing.

'What does this mean... Do I need to check my eyes?'

If someone moves so fast, you can see weakness, but no gap at all.

It was very elegant like a swan. His face was peaceful as if he was not even breathing.

What was even more shocking was the Crown Prince's serious attitude in class.

“You mean like this, Teacher?”

Whether Charlize was familiar or not with him, Dylan followed his actions with a respectful look.

Will see the Crown Prince's brilliant talent then.

'Hard to believe.'

But Charlize's expression was tinged with a hint of annoyance.

“I've just seen your weakness Your Majesty. A smart opponent will thrust the sword up and attack from the side. That is a position that will soon collapse, ”

Charlize said to Dylan.

"Take your sword, Your Majesty."

Charlize and Dylan started fighting with real swords.

The sound of the sword colliding in the air and shocking Akan.

Charlize's sword arts are visible.

It didn't take long for him to realize:

Charlize is a genius.

T/N: *Gumseong: This is a title that refers to the sword saint, that is, the legendary sword master. Regarding swords, it was the name of those who had extreme or strongest abilities.
