Escape From The Tyrant

Dylan ascends the Throne Bag.6

The Grand Duchy Ronan.

There had never been so many guests who wanted to see the Grand Duke in the past three days. The empire is upside down. The grandmaster became a powerful man.

No one calls Charlize Ronan the youngest daughter of a grand duke. Situation's reversed. Now the Grand Duke is called the grandmaster's father.

"Did you receive forgiveness from the grandmaster?"

"Ronan's family didn't know until the day of the rebellion, did it?"

"Didn't the grandmaster not say a word?"

The nobles were very interested in the relationship between Charlize and Ronan.

They used to talk about the cursed Charlize. Now, they thought that the Grand Duke should curry favor with Charlize.

Because a grandmaster is really a person who can start a new era.

Most of the nobles came to the grand duke to flatter him.

Their desire to water themselves with grandmaster glory was very clear.

The Grand Duke always delayed her furiously, but he immediately gave up on having too much.

“Charlize..”.

The Grand Duke sat on a chair, his palm on his forehead. Family meetings are held after a long time.

The eldest son, Akan, and the second son, Dante, were also present.

"What do you think?"

The grand duke asked and sighed.

"What do you mean? Are you asking about the current situation where people come and see us because they are not sure they can build a relationship with Charlize directly?”

Will ask cynically.

The Grand Duke looked at Akan, but now he had no energy to be angry.

Considering Charlize, the three of them were guilty.

“And now what? He will never believe us. Even if father visits the grandmaster now and apologizes on his knees. He's been hesitant with your sincerity.”

“Why are you coming to see him now.?”.

Dante supported the words Will. There would be hope if Charlize was at least the grandmaster of the crown prince.

He hoped that if he approached her sincerely, he would recognize her sincerity. But now, he was Charlize who had become an absolute powerful person no matter what people said.

He gained authority as a grandmaster, so even if Ronan thought they were humbling themselves, they had nothing to say.

“Listen to me first.”

The grand duke said with a sigh. He lost a lot of authority in his family.

“Count came and said to me. Isn't the reason Charlize sent the app out of the surname list is because she thought of Ronan in the end?”

“?”

“Thank God for his success, but if he fails to rebel, Charlize will die of treason, but even if that happens, Ronan will survive.”

“...Is it due to a request to exit the family name list?”

Grand Duke nodded at Will's question.

"If we, Ronan, plead not guilty, we cannot be swept away by treason because we can apply to get off the family roster by Charlize as proof."

The grand duke's words were true.

“So, in the end, isn't the reason why the boy is so cold is for Ronan? The count said that. ”

"Dad."

I will pretend to smile.

"Pulling yourself together."

It was a rude comment, but the grand duke simply raised his head and did not show it.

Will still be unable to forget Charlize's bright appearance on the day of the rebellion.

Would you do it for the assumption of failure? Charlize worked confidently in success from the start.

“That's to save Ronan? No, it was just a desperate interpretation after the fact. From the very beginning, an accurate interpretation was that the grandmaster wanted to sever ties with Ronan. ”

Dante looked at Akan who spoke with a curious face. Not too long ago, It would also not be much different from the Grand Duke.

'Sister seems to have understood the current situation a little.'

Dante thought and looked to the Grand Duke.

"I think so too, Father."

Grand Duke was silent.

In truth, the grand duke thought like two young masters, but since the Count spoke so seriously, he only had a hint of hope.

“Then what should we do now?”

“…”

His heart feels heavy.

"Will time solve it?"

The two young masters remained silent on the grand duke's self-talk. He's in denial.

While blaming each other, they also blamed themselves for suffering regret even though Ronan gave Dylan strength on the day of the rebellion, a significant undertaking.

Actually, it's not necessary. Knowing this, Ronan remained silent despite receiving the least compensation for official recognition of the honorable service.

Charlize no longer needed them. Charlize was still intact alone.

“But even so..”

It was Dante who broke the silence. Will and the Grand Duke looked at Dante.

“Rather than doing nothing and letting misunderstandings accumulate, why don't we go to the grandmaster and apologize first?”

"Who will visit?"

“We three..”.

Dante answered Will's question. The Grand Duke could call Charlize by name because of her high status, but the young master had to respect her as a 'Grandmaster'.

Even if Charlize was their little sister. Now it has become such a situation.

"Do you think that makes sense?"

For the first time, Will spoke sharply as if he was fed up.

“He hates to see Ronan, so he comes down as the 13th prince's teacher. He even left the waiter to ignore me in the middle of the day. Dante, would you be happy if someone blocked which circle you were when you were young?”

Dante said nothing. Of course, he would have a grudge.

“We do more than that. We treat Charlize as a killer.”

Will tremble.

"Will Charlize like us?"

Will he be happy? Will he forgive us? What nonsense. There were so many opportunities, but they had been blown away.

They should have immediately apologized when they thought it was unusual, but instead, they sent Charlize away because of their ego and pride.

At least he listened to her until he got a bouquet of flowers.

He realized that the moment he looked emotionless was rather good.

It's too late to know what to do.

Suddenly, Will remembered what he said to Charlize when she was a child.

He shouldn't have said that. It became a thorn and came back late. I will start to regret it.

Only silence remained between the three.

***

The morning was bright.

Charlize opened her eyes.

His spirit returns only when the alcohol has gone.

'Yesterday. With Dylan at the drinking party.'

Charlize drinks with Dylan.

And for the first time.

She begins to suspect that Dylan is in love with her.

'Love.'

The word rotated in his mind.

If he's right, then,

Charlize must know how long and deep Dylan's love is.

That way, the plan can be modified again according to context.

'Modified plans, at least, are not a good direction for Dylan.'

Charlize has changed. Since Dylan was so wary, he might have already noticed it.

"Grandmaster, we're all ready to make a move."

Mary came and told Charlize who was deep in thought.

Charlize still lives in the crown prince's palace. Now that Dylan had ascended the throne, it was time to move to the imperial palace.

“Well, Maria.”

In principle, teachers and students should live in the same building.

Charlize nodded and followed Mary's guidance.

"That reminds me of the past."

That was only half a year ago.

Charlize had already moved into her residence when Dylan was crowned crown prince.

'I moved from the 13th prince's palace to the crown prince's palace.'

He thought it would feel similar after going through it once.

'This is the imperial palace ...'

No, it's not similar. He feels different. As he saw the imperial palace getting closer, goosebumps ran behind him.

The palace closest to the imperial palace was the empress' palace. Charlize entered the imperial palace, passing through the empress' palace, which did not yet have its owner.

"I greet the Grandmaster."

Everyone who served the emperor came out and bowed their heads.

Are they all waiting for Charlize?

Been a long time.

He also saw many wall paintings on the high ceilings that he could memorize smoothly. The grandeur of scattering money was so familiar to Charlize.

'I've spent 400 years in this place.'

The imperial palace, where he lived as Keira. It felt so strange when he entered as someone.

Charlize knew the structure of the imperial palace buildings too well. Even the server system is well understood.

“This room is called Lilac Room. The grandmaster will stay here at a later date. ”

said Maria.

Charlize looked around the Lilac Room. It was the most spacious and luxurious room in the imperial palace.

The imperial palace had plenty of room to be free from the threat of assassination. The corridor was famous as complicated as a labyrinth.

The Emperor was supposed to change his bedroom irregularly for safety reasons and the Lilac Room was the most secret room connected to any room in the imperial palace.

When it comes to the palace, it is a fortress. In terms of the human body, it is close to the heart.

'He told me to occupy this place?'

Normally, the residence of the emperor grandmaster was on the first floor, but the Lilac Room was on the 10th floor, the highest floor of the building.

The bedroom is very spacious.

There is a separate living room and living room to welcome guests. There are two bathrooms and a large terrace for a luxurious tea time.

The view is very good.

"Beautiful."

The wide windows opened and the curtains swayed to reveal the spectacular scenery.

The gardens of the imperial palace were beautifully decorated nearby, and far from the interior of the imperial palace to the islands. The flowing river is also visible.

Since there was no building higher than the imperial palace, he could see the center of the empire without any hindrance.

“... His Highness.”

Charlize moved her lips slightly.

"Please thank him."

Even the best luxurious rooms of prestigious families cannot compare to this place.

'Dylan love me?'

Sure. That was too much affection for his teacher.

This is better than the emperor's room.

"Yes, Grandmaster."

"And I have a question."

Charlize looked at Maria.

"What do you think is my relationship with His Majesty?"

"…sorry?"

"From what do you feel, what is the relationship between His Majesty and me?"

Mary could not understand the meaning of the question, so she opened her eyes wide.

The servant, with a gentle puppy-like expression, hesitated for a moment, then replied uncertainly.

“You guys are very close, and you guys look good. More than anyone.”

"…Is that so?"

Being close is not enough.

Charlize recalled the rumors about the young noblewomen around the society. In the eyes of the public, Dylan had been in a relationship with Charlize since becoming the crown prince.

But Mary, who noticed them the closest, seemed to think they were only close.

'Did Dylan hide his feelings any longer than I thought?'
