Escape From The Tyrant

Feast Party bag.2

A private meeting.

Since Dylan's accession, the emperor had only allowed private meetings for one person until now.

charlize Ronan.

"Your Majesty."

Shadow, who was hiding behind a shadow, lowered his head.

Since he did not know when he would be killed, a personal meeting was an important task that he would not allow unless it was a very close loyal subject.

However, Dylan did not blame Kahu for his rudeness. He knew that feeling in that gaze.

'Are you on guard?'

He was wary, afraid of Dylan.

'You have common sense.'

But Dylan did not immediately give permission. He drank wine casually with Kahu standing up.

Kahu waited without saying a word.

The dignified position that Kahu would not dare to speak without Dylan's permission. He just wanted to make her realize the difference.

The wine is bitter. No signs of poisoning. Dylan emptied his glass.

The waiter received the glass politely.

"Good."

After a while, Dylan said.

Kahu swallowed his saliva. Dylan continued.

"If it's a young duke, he's reliable."

Dylan shook his head in recognition of his agreement. As the emperor left on the street, everyone lowered their heads and stepped aside.

Kahu clenched his fists. For now, he followed Dylan politely.

There was a separate resting room for the emperor in the Imperial Palace's dance hall.

“Everything, out. I'll speak personally with the young duke. ”

Dylan ordered Shadow, who was chasing to escort him.

Shadow glanced at Kahu, but the Emperor's orders could not be broken.

Shadow's sharp eyes passed through Kahu.

"Okay, my lord."

Shadow stepped back calmly.

The door was closed as before.

They are not close enough to smile face to face. Dylan was standing by the window.

Dylan's body reflected and shone in the clear glass window. A coat that wraps around the muscles of the body well. As Dylan unbuttoned the cuff, the blue vein on his wrist was visible.

The dark sky outside the window was filled with stars.

"Why are you asking for a private meeting?"ask Dilan.

Already overwhelmed by Dylan's depressed feelings, Kahu's tone softened.

"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor."

When Kahu saw Dylan's back, he almost accidentally bit his lip. He acted impulsively thinking that Charlize was taken away early.

Indeed, having a private meeting with the Emperor, he remembered how cruel and crazy Dylan was before he returned to the past.

A genius of the century so meticulous that no one knew Dylan's true nature.

“First of all, I want to thank you.”

Kahu tried hard enough not to stutter.

“Because of trusting me to the extent that you gave me the commander of the First Knight of the Imperial Family. Isn't it a good thing to pay for the rest of my life? It's my family honor.”

Kahu's words sounded smoother than he thought.

Dylan replied formally.

“Nobody has complained about the appointment of personnel because of your outstanding expertise. It is your service of my grace. ”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Dylan waited for Kahu to continue.

Kahu controlled his trembling heart.

"And Your Majesty, my main point is .."

Kahu looked up for sure.

“When the grandmaster stayed in my mansion, he showed a lot of unexpected things.”

kahu.

"If I could. Of course, I will follow the opinion of the grandmaster. I think it's okay to continue as he and the people want.”

"…continue?"

Dylan copied Kahu's words.The intelligent emperor's brain clearly understood his intent but refused to interpret it.

Kahu answered clearly.

"Yes. It's time for me and the grandmaster. ”

"Time…"

“It's time to get married, right?”

Kahu trembled inside but did not show it at all outside.

In office. He thought while looking at the paper that had blackened due to the falling ink.

Why did Dylan follow Charlize's will.

On the day of the rebellion, he remembered Dylan, who was acting funny only to Charlize as if an animal was rubbing his cheeks.

'Your Majesty is wrathful.'

I know better that he shouldn't touch her.

However, it's worth it if you investigate it and peek into it.

'Why does the man who lived a peaceful life before returning to this past appear?'

The ink that fell onto the blackened paper finally broke his desk.

What had seeped into the murky had not been erased.

Kahu actually did not want to marry Charlize or express his opinion unilaterally.

Just for provocation.

He thought it would be better if the target was Charlize if she did it with someone.

Dylan opened his mouth.

"Is there permission from the teacher?"

“...No.”

Dylan smiled faintly. The Emperor's side face was revealed in an instant.

However, no uneasiness or gaps were revealed.

Kahu bit his lip.

“Guru's wedding is up to her. Did you create a story without knowing the basics, an area where even I couldn't carelessly get involved? ”

In a reasonable story, Kahu said nothing.

"Another reason I asked His Majesty for a private meeting is ..."

Kahu actually wanted to ask Charlize how Dylan felt, but she did not dare to put it forward.

For there is nothing more rude than asking selfishness to the royal family, who are the masters of nature. That's enough over the line.

So Kahu changed his words.

"I've been informed that the remains of the traitor seem to still exist ..."

Kahu swallowed his saliva.

“At the clean sweep celebration party, I decided that this was not the time to speak in public, so I would not want to ask for a conversation with His Majesty alone.”

"Is that really so?"

Dylan tilted his head to the side.

Kahu nervously reported.

So he might have to work with Charlize again.

Dylan smiled strangely, but it was only for a moment. Emperor turned.

Kahu looked helpless and made eye contact with Dylan. Although Dylan was younger than Kahu, he stood up with dignity regardless of his age.

Kahu lowered his head.

“Young Duke's loyalty to the Empire always makes me happy.”

"I thank you, Your Majesty."

"However."

Dylan pulled out his sword from his scabbard with an indifferent face.

“How about being careful?”

Shiii.

Dylan was shining under the moonlight, as if trying to make sure the sword was not scratched. Shakes. Amongst the solid perfection and never cracking, the man's passion was revealed for a moment.

Kahu flinched with his head bowed and his back trembling.

“...Sorry, Your Majesty. I was so stupid that I could not understand His Majesty's sincerity properly. ”

"It's a shame."

"What did you tell me to be careful?"

Dylan was silent for a long time.

In a prolonged silence, Kahu raised his head. Dylan kept staring at his sword.

“…”

"They look alike."

Kahu thought for a moment.

In the mansion under the moonlight, he looked like Charlize, who was wiping her sword.

They say that if you are together for a long time, you will look the same.

Is this a sign that they have shared so long that Kahu could not dream of it? In Dylan, Charlize's influence is legible.

'He was raised by a grandmaster who uniquely changed after returning to the past. A tyrant.'

Kahu nervous.

Dylan slowly looked at Kahu. The emperor's impeccably handsome appearance was like a statue.

“Low person duty is.”

“…”

"Even if I don't explain it at length, you'll guess your own boss' mind."

“…”

"That's what my teacher taught me."

Dylan stopped talking listlessly. Kahu is somehow overwhelmed by Dylan's sword and is unable to move.

Realizing that Dylan's change was influenced by Charlize, Kahu only hardened.

“I think you picked the wrong subjects to test. Don't you think so?”

Kahu's heart was racing.

He may have crossed the line. Shadow was also looking, so he even thought he would die here.

Even so, there are results. Charlize was also important to Dylan.

Dylan looked at Kahu again.

"Consideration has a price, young duke."

The voice whispered as if revealing an important secret. Kahu involuntarily pressed down on his own body, wanting to lie down in front of Dylan.

Cold sweat started to fill his hands.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You don't have to experience how you're going to pay the price."

The emperor was graceful and noble. It is a word that can be interpreted in many ways.

He saw Dylan trying to beat around the bush because it was Charlize's teaching. Kahu somehow managed to understand the sincerity of the emperor.

This may be too visible, the Emperor advised caution.

Or the.

'Stop to be seen by Master.'

That would be a one-on-one warning. That's the price, maybe.

"Just like I took Madame Cole out of the blue."

Invisible, the Emperor's hand will be outstretched.

Dylan stretched out his sword as if he was examining the blade. Coincidentally, the tip of the sword leads to Kahu's weakness.

Kahu held his breath. His spine stiffened coldly, and his spine was goosebumps.

'This isn't what's really scary.'

The emperor's invisible hand was more terrifying than the sword before his eyes. Don't know what to do. No one knew until they were beaten.

As he looked at the empire before returning to the past, he did not want to turn Dylan into an enemy.

"I hope you'll have a better conversation next time."

Rather than telling him to be careful about the next conversation, it seemed like it would be possible to hold a private meeting only when he stayed.

Contrary to the soft tone, the blade was still hanging and not being pulled.

"…Yes.Yes."

"I understand, Your Majesty." I answered as a habit.

“Precious words Your Majesty. I will never forget it and keep it in my mind.”

He lowered his gaze, hiding his true intentions as if he was adjusting. But is he see-through?

Dylan approached, dragging his sword to the floor. The sound of iron scratching the marble floor sounded extremely dangerous.

"Young duke."

Kahu lowered his head suddenly.

“If you're going to steal 'My sword'. You better throw it away. ”

Dylan said, pointing the handle at Kahu as if he was giving him a sword.

Kahu did not understand what he meant, but he felt very frightened.

'The 'sword?'

It was common for emperors to give swords to a loyal knight, but somehow Kahu desperately avoided his gaze, and did not accept Dylan's sword.

Dylan's face reflected on his blade looked extremely indifferent, but. Indeed, it deserves it from tyrants.

In an instant, Dylan's side, which he had always hidden as a sweet and kind disciple, was revealed.

Dylan advised in a gentle tone.

"There are areas of the world you can't see."

It's like a question and answer.

'Area I can't see?'

But just in case. Let's assume it might be related to before going back to the past. Kahu can't move.

He shakes all over his body.

When Kahu did not reply, Dylan slowly stuffed the sword into its sheath.

The Emperor walked past Kahu leisurely, leaving the room first.

“…”

'Just now.'

Whatisit?

Even though he saw Kahu.

He didn't realize it.

Then, Kahu, who had been holding him back, gasped for air.
