Escape From The Tyrant

Dylan ascends the Throne ch.13

Alperier.

A secret organization that aims to revive the dead God, Ehyrit.

He never thought he would get entangled like this.

Charlize drew the sword while thinking.

Payne wrapped his neck with both hands as if he was still alive.

'But why would Alperier want me?'

That's very questionable.

Isn't that a secret organization that's famously picky to join? But what did they believe in Charlize to come up with such an offer?

“How can I believe that you are an Alperier? No, before that. Why choose me?”

“As expected, you know what Alperier is. Then it will be easier to say.”

However, despite Charlize's suspicious attitude, Payne welcomes her.

"First of all, this is the proof."

Payne twists his wrist and shows a tattoo. It was a red lion tattoo that was the symbol of Alperier.

“…”

Charlize remained silent. No one gets a tattoo for fun.

Above all, when a magician gets this tattoo, he is instantly removed from the tower. Therefore, Payne's words are more likely to be true.

"You can trust me. I'm also an experimenter participating in the Kiera.” project

Did he say that he was overwhelmed by revenge for the Keira project?

Charlize looked at Payne.

However, Payne was too emotionless for his vengeful gaze.

'I can't even feel Ehyrit energy.'

Charlize frowned for a moment at the singularity.

'But it is possible that the piece has not been transplanted on the experimental subject.'

Payne answered immediately.

“Dan, why am I asking you? That's because you're a genius. It's not just swordsmanship. And I recognized him from the beginning.”

A genius? He won't deny it.

Yet.

"…What is the reason?"ask Charlize.

“And you have a strange smell. Strange smell that I've never smelled like any other human before.”

Payne, who always seemed to be playing around, was serious at the time.

Odd smell? Charlize paused for a moment. He's got a hunch.

"No way, a piece of Ehyrit."

Ehyrit pieces are famous for smelling nothing.

But Charlize. He could clearly smell it. Was it because he went back in time with the pawn on his body?

Just like poisonous mushrooms are not good for humans, it is the most colorful and beautiful. In bluestone, which is the source of monsters. There is a sweet and charming smell.

This was the scent of an angel that seemed to have condensed all the sweetness of the world.

Therefore, when the monster appeared, he knew the attack was only with his sense of smell.

But he never smelled it from himself.

“Especially, it came from you. And it's like, a crazy addiction. Don't you know?”

“…”

Charlize thinks Payne is dangerous. But also.

It's futile to kill him.

It occurred to him that he had to keep her alive intuitively. But he didn't even want to get close to her.

"Hm."

Charlize turned around and said.

"I don't know what you're saying."

He took the documents signed by the traitors. Documents related to the Kiera project were deliberately left behind.

Is that wise? He wasn't sure, but it was a decision he had already made.

“There is perfume made by my dear servant for me. I think it smells like that after smelling it.”

"No, it's not an artificial smell."

Payne expressed his anger. He hit the air like a dog and shouted.

“This smell cannot be made up! It's the only one! It's unique!”

"The sensitivity is too good."

think Charlize.

Still, Payne doesn't look annoying or bad anymore.

Because he found that Payne's body was broken everywhere. It was the forcibly renovated section where the power of Ehyrit would pass through.

Although she doesn't know her deep revenge, Payne deserves to hate witches.

Although there is no brotherhood.

The operative sign Payne was hiding belonged to the victim of the Kiera project.

In addition, he also noticed Charlize's genius. He looks pretty sharp.

Charlize decided to be a little more generous. His tone softened.

“Thank you for the compliment.I'll go somewhere else to investigate. I refused it.”

"Huh? Wait, without hearing more? you will change your mind if you listen to it. No one knows more about the Kiera project than our organization.”

The hint for Kiera was the only condition that could provoke Charlize.

However, Charlize already knew Alperier. Although not much is known about Alperier. Only a requirement to join a well-known organization.

Because of its nature as a secret organization, once you become a member, you have to break with the world.

But Charlize still has to be on Dylan's side. He had no time to try to save the dead god by fusing into the secret organization.

It was not worth the difficulty. The conclusion was concluded with rejection.

The clues about Kiera can be traced on their own.

"I know, that's why Payne offered me."

“Yes, it's not.”

Charlize said calmly, but clearly. He stuffed the sword back into the necklace, leaving Payne behind.

Payne seems to be trying to persuade Charlize more, but Charlize comes out of the warehouse.

He's got everything he can, so it doesn't matter.

As Charlize went further, she saw Kahu with Shadow.

The people of the broken underworld, the captured traitors, the rescued slaves.

"I greet the grandmaster."

As soon as they saw Charlize, Shadow knelt down together.

Even if they saved a slave. Even if it was a situation where they were facing a sword with members of the underworld.

Showing respect to Charlize was their top priority.

After Charlize nodded as well, she looked back for a moment. Payne wasn't there.

But Charlize had a hunch. Payne will never give up.

***

Dylan is a genius.

His genius in all fields is no exception to the art of painting.

The brushstrokes on the canvas felt like a God of nature. Dylan was immersed on the canvas in front of him.

'Charlize Ronan.'

The one Dylan drew was Charlize.

Smooth and elegant brush strokes are very realistic. Though he drew it just based on his memory without a model in front of him.

It was so alive that it was perfect.

Because it is a state of drowning, the hand moves itself without judgment of the mind. Then suddenly Dylan was surprised.

At one point, next to Charlize, who was smiling brightly, it was Kahu pictured looking at her.

“…”

Dylan stopped the brush and looked inside the canvas.

It should be a reflection of his unconsciousness.

There was no way he would want to paint a smiling Charlize next to Kahu.

As Dylan sat in his chair and looked at the canvas, the maids from a distance approached him.

Dylan beckoned in the air before the painting could be seen.

He used mana to vaporize all the paint on the canvas.

"Your Majesty."

The waiter bowed and called out to Dylan. He glanced at the Emperor's canvas, but there was nothing but white.

The waiter suppressed his curiosity. It was not an emotion allowed for the servant.

"The grandmaster has arrived."

"…Teacher?"

Dylan, who had been colorless and smelled nothing like a stone that sank quietly, only came back to life at that moment.

It was of course a joy in his voice. But before long Dylan tried to suppress his feelings somehow. He shouldn't have been caught by Charlize.

The Emperor stood up to meet Charlize.

"The Grandmaster is waiting in the garden of moonlight."

The weather is pretty cold now.

Dylan went out with a coat made from the beast's fur. Dylan was in a hurry.
