Escape From The Tyrant

Feast Party bag.3

The memories before Kahu returned to the past are unclear.

Is it a dream, or is it real?

Imperfect memory that looks shallow over misty fog.

Kahu is also confused by the flow of time mixed.

'I think something like this happened.'

Usually, this is a vague thought.

However, there are rare memories of different colors.

No one knows, but Kahu has met Dylan before returning to the past.

'I guess that's when the emperor waged a war of conquest.'

At that time. One day, just once. He looked at the 13th Prince.

Because the 13th Prince came to Kahu's house.

And surprisingly, what Kahu saw.

[True Teacher.]

[It was an honor to serve the true master of the Empire in the mansion.]

His parents, the Duke and his wife are seen calling a man on the border between a boy and an adult as his master.

Prince Dylan's 13th.

His parents knelt down without hesitation, and kissed his feet, not even the back of his hand.

He had never seen his parents like this before.

Reinforced by the shock, the Duchess grabbed onto Kahu's arm.

Drifting away by the situation, Kahu bowed his head to the 13th Prince.

"Yes, my parents tried to introduce me to her."

[This is my son. Kahu Delmon's. He is a good enough son to serve His Majesty in the future.]

[That's right, Your Honor.]

'Your Majesty'? In this empire, the current emperor was still alive.

The blood on his face seemed to cool.

Kahu listened to his parents with his head bowed.

A respectful and courteous attitude to the 13th Prince who was younger than Kahu.

But to ask why in place. He was overwhelmed by something extraordinary.

Kahu held his breath without even moving his lips.

[…]

When he raised his head bravely. Kahu made eye contact with Dylan.

Dylan's first impression was terrifying.

His noble appearance was completely expressionless. Rather than intentionally removing facial expressions, that face did not really feel any emotion.

There is a strange sense of incompatibility.

When Dylan nodded slightly, the Duchess led Kahu out of the living room.

[Mother, who is it.].

[You have to pretend you didn't see it.]

The Duchess has a face that Kahu has never seen before. Strict and cold eyes.

[Don't ask. Remove from your memory.]

It was full of things she did not understand, but the Duchess drew the line firmly.

He left Kahu and returned to the living room.

"I don't have a choice."

Without realizing it, such thoughts arise. With that is only the end.

His parents have not spoken about the 13th Prince since then. Kahu also did not ask.

This is no joke. Because he felt that intuition.

Only Kahu investigated it.

"But surprisingly, it's hidden behind the curtain."

Very few people know about Dylan.

Though he was a royal family who survived the fierce battle for the succession to the throne.

Despite a long investigation, the results were small.

The more he investigated, the more he creeped.

This was the first time he had seen someone without showing himself like this. No one knew there was a 13th Prince. Despite getting evaluations from some survivors.

But in terms of influence, it is different from presence.

'Everything moves as he wishes.'

The Emperor wandered outside and waged war.

As the emperor finally unified half the continent and saw the 13th Prince standing at the crack of the imperial palace, he thought about it.

All these. It will be according to the man's wishes.

It had already happened in secret, the high-ranking nobles who used their power obeyed the 13th Prince as their true masters.

It was even more frightening that nothing was leaking.

Dylan knew how to manipulate the situation without having to intervene.

He is very intelligent, and he is also meticulous.

Even if the emperor changed, Dylan lived well without being limited by any power.

He did not know the 13th Prince's purpose. But he learned from his long observations that he wanted to live without being revealed.

'It is certain that by his will Emperor Dietrich almost conquered the continent.'

When Dylan died, the empire was in chaos for a while.

It was because of Dylan's unrealistic genius. This was because his influence in the imperial palace was revealed in Dylan's diary.

Dylan's diary was published after his death, and Kahu also read it.

It is as follows.

Three days ago, Dietrich II called me to the imperial palace.

The 2nd generation continued to hold onto Kiera's grip, then released it and repeated it as if he was anxious.

The 2nd generation asked me.

- Do you not want anything?

I said there was nothing because I wanted nothing. The 2nd generation said.

- As I ruled, I realized something. Do you know who is the scariest person in the world? ...It's not the person who will divulge a big secret if you give him money. Even those who have no weaknesses. People who want nothing are the most frightening.

I read her horror, but I did not calm her down. Because I can see that the 2nd generation has already decided to kill me.

Sure enough, yesterday. The assassin sent by the 2nd generation came to me.

The 2nd generation was the only one who came to my mother's funeral. I really want to return that favor.

So today, I went to the 2nd generation cemetery.

It was only a short story in the diary, but the shock he felt back then was still obvious.

'At that time, all scholars were studying Dylan.'

Dylan became more famous after he died.

And after returning to the past, the man was obsessed with grandmaster Charlize. It was the most different part from before he returned to the past.

'But,'

Whether that obsession was Dylan's true feelings, who became the current Emperor. Or he didn't know if it was Charlize's intention.

Does Charlize remember before she went back in time? Even with the question he wanted to ask, Charlize did well.

No, it wasn't the only change before he went back in time.

'Kiera the magic sword.'

An object used by the Dietrich family to conquer the continent.

It was an ominous beautiful sword.

A well-made sapphire on a sinister silver blade that seemed to have blood. It was in the hands of the emperor.

'Where is that?'

It might be better not to show up. If it were to appear, the world would probably be stained with blood again.

With that beautiful magic sword.

Then Kahu remembered. He felt a strange deja vu after returning to the past.

'The sword.'

Somewhere. He thought it was the impression he saw. He was late to hear it.

***

It was the third day of the dance.

Charlize blinked slowly.

'Did Kahu say he found Kiera?'

He heard such strange news. The Emperor's intelligence service did not hide anything from Charlize.

Dylan also seemed to know about the Kiera project.

Kahu's actions are quite suspicious, but he is a young duke. Not much happened because there was no clear evidence as if he did not know her.

And Kahu also searched for her several times.

'Because you have returned to the past, there is no way you do not know about Kiera, the magic sword.'

But why are you looking for him? Just because it reminds you? Or do you have a job?

Kahu's dangerous. Of course, Dylan couldn't have an unrealistic idea like going back in time, but what he did would be a good clue for Dylan.

He must kill Kahu if he thinks rationally.

He didn't want to do that to innocent people. And the intelligent Dylan will soon find out that Charlize killed him because of the word 'Kiera'.

Charlize was the only one who could kill without leaving any evidence.

"I'm glad I didn't see her at the dance today."

Charlize thought while drinking.

Soon he'll feel better.

Everyone's attention was on Charlize who was wearing a veil.

It was a delicate gaze, afraid of being disrespectful to look at it openly.

After seeing her dance with the emperor, the young nobles lined up asking Charlize to dance.

"Will you dance with me, grandmaster?"

“After that I, me too.”

He could have rejected it.

Charlize was in a good mood after a long time, so she responded to everyone. Result is.

Dozens of young noble masters blushed in embarrassment. They left Charlize with excited expressions, and were unable to speak properly.

It might have been a long time since he had swung his sword, and it was rather convenient to move his body violently.

"Grandmasters."

The young noble lord, who was dancing with Charlize, called out to her in a trembling voice.

Although he was the Countess' second son, it was a face he had never seen before he returned to the past.

'A local nobleman who rose to a worthy position in loyalty to Dylan.'

Charlize thought and looked at the young noble master.

"I am, I .. a noble with the title of Count and my family name is Zepher ..."

That doesn't sound interesting. Perhaps in order to get Charlize's attention somehow, she managed to squeeze her courage and talk to him.

"Ihappens... Are you not related to Ronan?"

But the subject is not very good.

Seeing Charlize's appearance, the young nobles who were looking on without reason gasped. Charlize smiled relaxed and brightly.

"But aren't you still a member of his family?"

"Is that really so?"

Ronan's story is an unwritten rule. Everyone looked at the young noble master in shock. Charlize stopped in a doldrums.

"Dull. Questions like that.”

The song for the dance continued to play, but Charlize did not move.

His joy has cooled.

Charlize, who had no intention of dancing, let go of the noble young master's hand.

The young noble master was embarrassed, but he did not dare to hold Charlize.

Charlize stopped dancing and walked away. The music continued, but no one dared to touch it.

No one stopped him.

“You spoke very unwisely in front of the grandmaster..!”.

On the contrary, others seemed to blame the young noble lord, who was left alone.

It was because of Charlize's soaring status within the noble society. He was a noble, but how could he be the same noble?

Charlize drew attention and walked towards the wall of the banquet hall.

Soon after, Charlize faced a welcomed face.

"Oh."

Charlize saw V. Charlize saved him with her hands and sent him to Dylan, so he had always been a follower of Charlize.

“Isn't that V?”

When Charlize pretended to know him first, V raised his head.

As soon as V looked Charlize in his eyes, he ran over with great pleasure.

"Grandmaster!"

"Old not meet."

V almost lived a miserable life as a gladiator.

Seeing V attend the dance as an official knight after being awarded the title of nobleman. He feels like a new person.

“You look great in your knight uniform, V.”

"It's all thanks to the grandmaster."

Charlize was a little surprised to see V approaching.

It was a face that could not hide his misery. Even if you try to hide your pitiful heart, it will be revealed.

Charlize's gaze reached him.

"What's wrong?"

V lowered his head somehow to set his facial expression, but Charlize grabbed V's chin and lifted him up, so it was inevitable.

Even a slender hand cannot shake the master. Even if it wasn't for his skill, V wouldn't have been able to let go.

Looking at Charlize's eyes, she couldn't lie.

"But I can't say it."

As V lowered his gaze, Charlize said.

"Whatever it is. Don't you think I can handle it?”

Those words are true.

Charlize is very strong.

Defeat even a flying bird, a powerful family.

More than that, the absolute and unrivalled ruler of the empire.

V slowly opened his eyes wide.
