Escape From The Tyrant

Feast Party bag.6

"There's never a moment when I'm not human."

Charlize replied with a smile.

Yes, he is human.

The inside of Charlize has always been human. He never lost his essence. Even if everyone denied it, Charlize valued herself as a human.

He stays that way. Even when he became a sword, he defined himself as human.

Gold's eyes sparkled at his sincere answer, but it was only for a moment.

"Kids! It's snack time!”

Gold smiled broadly at the teacher's call up close and blurred.

Like a child, he quickly forgot the conversation with Charlize. He also put iron in his hand.

Charlize laughed because Gold was cute.

'That's good to put a barrier around mana.'

From the moment Gold opened his mouth, Charlize controlled the air with mana.

So that everyone could not hear his conversation with Gold.

Free from the sharp swordsman.

But the smell of fairies?

It was something Charlize herself had never realized, so she kept thinking deeply.

Charlize stood up slowly.

The tree shook in the winter wind.

'Dylan is innocent.'

Although he wanted to take revenge for the empire and the imperial family.

Charlize's eyes turned to Dylan.

Maybe because he was thinking about Kiera.

Charlize's atmosphere was cold and sharp.

'Am I also attached to him?'

Dylan smiled.

Seeing her side face like that made her heart pound to a certain extent.

Dylan, I don't want to hurt you.

***

"Are you and this brother dating?"

"She asked if we were dating." thought Dylan.

Giving candy is a boost. Charlize seemed to really care for and cherish the children, but Dylan was not very interested in others.

Except Charlize.

Everything is worthless to him.

'I have to raise the children of the orphanage.'

Contrary to aristocratic assumptions. Dylan had no intention of turning the orphanage into a training center for the emperor.

But ever since he heard the boy's question, he changed his mind.

It's not just luxury amenities like Count Hart's villa. They would receive the best education guaranteed by the imperial family.

Because Dylan wants it.

They would grow up with the education and training of high-quality teachers comparable to the imperial academy.

Charlize's back at Dylan.

“I had a chat with the boy for a while.”

"Yes, I saw it from a distance."

Of course, he couldn't hear the conversation.

That must be Charlize's intention.

But it was a small and small child in anyone's eyes.

'There's no reason to dig it up.'

Dylan thought and said.

Unfortunately, it's time to go back.

“I'm happy to be here with you.”

“I'm also happy, Your Highness.”

"I must immediately go to the Imperial Palace for New Year's Day."

Dylan spoke clearly.

Actually, all he wanted was Charlize. But he couldn't express his feelings for what they were.

New Year's Day.

The year has passed and the new year has arrived.

Dylan is now twenty years old. A perfect adult man who will not disturb their children even if they are in touch ****.

"It's been six years since I've been with His Majesty."

"We will always be together, so is there any meaning in the number of years?"

Hearing Dylan's words, Charlize paused for a moment.

But Charlize did not forget. No matter what Dylan did, he swore that he would never leave his side.

Dylan seemed to be looking at Charlize with seemingly infinite confidence.

Somehow, her heart felt heavy, so Charlize lowered her gaze.

“It would be great if I could play a piano ensemble with Master in the new year.”

“I'm happy just by imagining it.”

Piano classes progressed step by step, and now it is possible to play together with both hands.

Charlize smiled openly.

Silence shrouded for a moment.

The sound of the children laughing was like a background sound in the distance.

Dylan looked at him and said politely.

"I have to go now."

“I'm worried that I've been holding His Majesty for too long. Be careful, Your Majesty. I'll stay a little longer.”

"Yes teacher. See you at the Imperial Palace in the evening.”

'It looks like he's emphasizing the night, probably because Kahu is looking.'

Because he stayed at Kahu's house that night.

But it must be an illusion.

Charlize looked at Dylan giving courtesy as a student.

He could not find the man's desire in his neat and calm demeanor.

Emperor descends. Some Shadow followed him.

On the other hand, there was a gaze watching Charlize.

That is Kahu.

"They're not that close before going back in time."

Charlize and Dylan. There is no contact between the two.

Although travel back in time is extremely rare, Kahu, his fiancee before returning to the past, is closer to Charlize.

[Hello, young duke.]

[Yes, nice to meet you.]

The conversation with Charlize was the only two words they had when they met at the engagement ceremony.

Kahu bit his lips slowly.

There is a calm atmosphere.

The orphanage in winter is preparing for a new spring. Kids relax and have fun. The nobles who attended the establishment ceremony showed their faces, but other nobles appeared again.

A busy but joyous peace.

But in the middle of it, Kahu felt an unpleasant feeling.

Surprisingly, he felt like he was on the verge of collapse.

"I want to prevent destruction."

Kahu did not know why he was obsessed with such ideas.

Just.

Feeling that Shadow's eyes were secretly hidden in the darkness, Kahu approached Charlize.

Knowing boundaries. He knew everything was going to be reported to Dylan.

"I need to talk to Charlize."

Kahu approached with a firm mind.

Charlize, holding a glass of wine, looked back at Kahu's presence.

Colorless transparent white wine.

"Grandmaster, I have something to tell you."

"What's that?"

“I don't think I can tell you about that here... But can you take a minute for me? There is a quiet park behind the villa.”

Charlize looked hesitant for a moment, but put her glass on the table and nodded.

Kahu leads Charlize to a secret back garden.

Just in case, Charlize took over the surrounding area with mana this time.

Kahu looked at Charlize sternly and spoke.

"Did you remember what I said on the day of the important assignment?"

At Kahu's question, Charlize recalled her memories.

[Whatever circumstances the grandmaster has. Unless you tell me first. I said I wouldn't dig it up.]

It seemed like he was spewing out something he had thought of as if he had promised.

'Why?'

Charlize suppressed her shock and looked at Kahu.

After hearing that, Charlize had never been wary of Kahu.

However, Kahu was in a pretty serious mood right now.

"…Yes I remember."

Kahu did not get straight to the point, but first started out in other words.

“I realized something while sweeping the traitors along with the grandmaster.”

Low Kahu voice.

“Of course, I contemplated my sword science. Besides, I was walking in the underworld and something, somewhere.”

“…”

“I have a strong intuition if it is tightly twisted. And I wonder if this empire is right to be led by light, because there is only a dominance that is too dark and strange to be read by the Empire of Gods.”

Seeing the underworld covered in darkness.

Look at Charlize, who reigned like a god of death there.

Suddenly, even the nobles of this country worshipped at his feet.

Like a candle that almost died lit the brightest. Like the most beautiful poison mushrooms that drive people crazy, Kahu thought.

This country, it is not the kingdom of Gods.

"I am from the future and have returned to the past."

"…Is that so?"

“I am also confused, do I have to say exactly if I have returned to the past, or did I just see a very decent future as a dream.”

Charlize said nothing.

“I am here beyond the time returned to the past. And grandmaster, in my future that I see, I don't see a grandmaster. ”

He did not know if this was true, but his card had already been thrown.

"It was not an insult to His Majesty, but there was no rebellion as well, and the emperor should still be Dietrich I."

Kahu told Charlize one by one like a faithful believer in confession.

Charlize had a strange look in her eyes. He didn't say Kahu was crazy, he didn't doubt him, he just agreed and kept quiet.

Kahu also bet big.

If there is any rumor that Duke Delmon's successor has gone mad. This will be Kahu's weakness. If you are suspected of being unfaithful to Dylan, I have nothing to say either.

Who's gonna believe that?

'Time that spins back sounds unrealistic.'

But Charlize was silent.

Kahu looked at Charlize. After all, he had to say what he had to say.

'What do you think?'

“When I said I wouldn't dig it. I'll cancel it.”

Kahu sighed as if he was declaring.

"I'm sorry, but I have to find out."

What Charlize's purpose is. Who's Charlize. Why the empire has changed, and why he is involved in it.

No matter what he has to pay. No matter what responsibility he takes.

Kahu is ready for everything.

“…”

There was silence for a long time.

Winter winds are colder than in autumn.

But only when passing Charlize. It looked dreamy and as gentle as the moon in the distance.

Her blonde hair was fluttering.

Charlize's eyes sank mysteriously like the universe. His presence is very clear and different.

Kahu clasped his hands tightly.

The reason why he was out of breath was. Was it because he was enchanted or because he said he would challenge the authority of a grandmaster?

The pink dress that looked so innocent while being gathered with the children was extremely beautiful.

Dong

A drum was struck slowly from outside in time.

On New Year's Day, there is a habit of drumming every hour like this.

“...Happy New Year, young duke.”

Kahu too late realized the natural words that broke the silence.

"You too, grandmaster."

He cleared his throat.

"Happy New Year."

As for the word to dig into it. Charlize did not answer.

But let's repeat the same sentence with each other. The cold feeling inside the tongue is strange.

Kahu lowered his head.

It feels warm in the tongue. Suddenly, he realized about Charlize's swordsmanship.

'The sword.'

The swordsmanship Charlize showed in the underworld. It was like someone who was used to killing others.

There is no characteristic. The only characteristic is that it is so high that people cannot understand it.

His skills were the only characteristic.

And Kahu has only seen one so talented.

'And it was clear in the swordsmanship competition.'

When facing off in the final of the swordsmanship competition. The sword stopped too short without piercing itself in an instant.

Someone with thrilling abilities who will remain remembered.

In the end, the boy won.

"No."

Unconsciously, he said with his mouth.

The 'male' thought is only because he's small.

It's just a stereotype. Because no one thought that the gender of the strong man who even defeated Kahu and Akan was a woman.

It was ridiculous and illogical, but his intuition was shouting.

Might as well.

that fellow.
