It was an unexpected contact. Since Dylan had always asked Charlize's permission first, it was the first kiss on the back of his hand that did not ask her for permission.
Knowing this, Charlize did not avoid it. Because that's what a knight or a man does to a woman. He had never heard the Emperor do it to Lady.
Charlize guessed that Dylan's gaze was very explicit.
His heart beat a little faster and then stopped beating.
'Feelings.'
Maybe because he used to be a sword for a long time. Charlize's heart was barely moved. It was quiet at all times, and it was moving.
It was a small and small change that even Dylan was unaware of. Only Charlize knows.
“Everything will be done according to your wishes Guru.”
What Dylan said, it's true.
'He spoke of the reason why the witches from the magic tower came.'
Charlize looked at Dylan. It was as if he could not guess Dylan correctly. Maybe even Dylan couldn't guess well either.
Because he hasn't realized that Kiera is Charlize. But the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. Wh why?
"There are too many clues."
But he suppressed his anxiety.
The fact that this world has turned around once. No one would have ever imagined. If it wasn't for Kahu leaking the clues, he would have been convinced to the end.
'As expected, I should have killed Kahu.'
But in the end, he didn't kill her. This thought is useless.
"I heard that the children were well trained with His Majesty's sword donated to the orphanage."
Charlize lowered her eyes.
“They say it is the most pleasant and practical gift. Thank you for caring.”
Dylan, who was staring at Charlize, replied slowly.
"It's been a long time since I've seen what Master wants."
Of course, he wanted the Empire destroyed. But that was 5 years ago.
Since then, Charlize has been moving consistently, and basically saw that the establishment of the orphanage was the first thing she did voluntarily.
In fact, there was never a time when the object he wanted was Dylan.
Charlize looked at Dylan, but only Dylan was truly 'like' his opponent.
"Is it so, Your Majesty?"
Charlize calmly put away her hand. The truth is the lie that witches target slaves, so it is a little uncomfortable to make eye contact with them.
Charlize changed the subject.
"Where is the next place after the Seruna Empire?"
“...Risia Empire.”
"Why?"
Charlize looked at Dylan because she was amazed at how she instinctively judged the situation well and made an efficient route. Because if Seruna were to be destroyed, the place where they could rule the fastest was the Risian Empire.
Before time turned back, the emperor tried to destroy the Ratia first, but in the end, it was difficult to conquer both. But Dylan knows the shortest route.
Dylan said exactly what Charlize was thinking.
“I once wondered where the funds supporting the political power of the Risian Empire came from. Surprisingly, it was the power of the ruler of Seruna. Seruna was bandaged as the rival of this century with the Risians, but in reality there was a close relationship between the two countries. In every field of society as a whole.”
“…”
“Both countries are separated by borders, but in the end, they can be considered as countries with the same ruling power. If Seruna collapses, some powerful force will definitely flee to Risia and aim for the future, but if we attack Risia soon, we can easily destroy the empty house.”
“Excellent, Your Excellency.”
Charlize was a little impressed.
No, it's really amazing.
“As His Majesty said. It's amazing.”
As she displayed her talent like this, Charlize was tinged with the purest admiration in her eyes. It was that motivation that ignited Dylan's passion for learning.
But does Charlize know this?
In fact, Dylan had thought a lot about the best way to get Charlize's attention. Of course, he could not express his feelings completely, so only Charlize was unaware of it.
For example, if I am sick.
[I will drink poison and have you.]
Like the chorus of songs he often sang with Charlize. If Dylan fell down after eating the poison, perhaps he would attract Charlize's attention. He thinks.
So, looking down at the poisonous glass, he thought about yesterday seriously.
'In the end, I used magic to get rid of that glass.'
Or the.
Pretend tired.
He's not tired at all, but let's say he wants to lean on his shoulder. It was true that he had gone through a lot, so he thought he would let it go at least for a moment. He thinks.
Actually, there are a lot of opportunities.
If he buries his lips behind his neck and inhales its scent.
Like a piano class where they have to sit together. It was enough to naturally calm the mood while playing the slow tone of the piano.
'He's a teacher who looks at me when I pretend to be weak.'
He thought of making such a lie.
However, not all are practiced.
'Yes, it's right to say it calmly.'
“I like you, Guru.”
Dylan expressed his feelings.
There was a yellow rose in full bloom in the garden outside the window.
Of course, Charlize simply replied that she liked Kahu.
But, at this moment, he thought Charlize would recognize him with her eyes and words like this.
But Charlize didn't notice it.
No, he pretended not to know.
'Or are you really not willing to give it a chance?'
Anyway, it hurts.
"Yes me too. Your Honor, by the way. I feel it every time I see it, but roses are always beautiful, right? ”
“…”
“Will you take a walk with me?”
Dylan is ... At this moment, Charlize was extremely indifferent.
However, he looked at Charlize with an open mind.
And nod his head.
***
There's a fairy in the flower.
In fact, it was also the reason why Charlize was interrupted during the conversation with Dylan.
"I haven't seen them since that night."
Sure enough, as soon as he went out into the park. The fairies have left. They've sprinkled dream powder. Because they were the ones who made him see Dylan reach out to Kiera.
"How are the witches?"
Dylan caught Charlize's attention.
Charlize replied, trying to hide her nervousness.
“I feel it 'different'.”
“What's different?”
“Everything..Which is used by the man who uses the sword and which of the witches has slightly 'different' energy'. Of course, the wise man claims that his essence is the same, but..”.
It was a sudden remark, but Dylan listened with little attention.
Charlize averted her gaze even from the flower where the fairy disappeared.
"I also agree with what Master said."
Dylan agrees.
“They are rare and little known. They are closed and their self-esteem is quite high. They may feel alienated for rejecting outsiders.” Charlize said.
Charlize did not mix up emotions, but spoke as if she was merely conveying the most objective facts.
As he mixed up his emotions, it was clear that his deep killing intent was revealed.
Except for Payne's unusual case, the witch was usually a member of the Magic Tower.
He lowered his gaze to hide his eyes.
"How did you cooperate with the young duke?"
"Hm. We got along well, of course, there was a part that we weren't close to either. At least he helps a lot when we have to use the sword together.”
"If it's the part that's not close to good ..."
Charlize, who replied without hesitation, fell silent for a moment.
At least for Dylan, it was a fact that could never be revealed.
Since Kahu has also gone back in time, isn't that embarrassing?
Charlize looked up.
“Didn't I also adapt to His Majesty? Actually, except for Your Majesty, I can't help feeling that I'm not close to anyone. ”
That was a moderate reason to avoid answering, but Dylan seemed more satisfied than he thought.
For a moment he stopped and looked at Charlize.
The park is wide.
"You're not wrong."
At least Dylan was sure of one thing.
No matter who Charlize met in the future, she would never meet a genius more than Dylan.
Of course, it was the same for Dylan.
“Shadow reports that there is nothing special about the movements of the witches, Guru.”
"…I understand."
Charlize knew that Shadow was secretly chasing her and reporting her every move, but because Charlize was in charge of the witches. He did not know that he would say this in public.
As expected, it was not a full trust.
Still, Charlize was a bit unexpected, so when she looked at Dylan, she said calmly.
"I think the place they live is where slaves are around."
Charlize kept her facial expression.
He knows Dylan well.
He knew 200 even if he read one, and he never forgot even if he saw it once.
When he heard the 10,000 things the underworld was pursuing, he remembered them all.
"By looking at their path, the goals are clearly legible."
“...What is the purpose?”
Even trivial expressions, hints, tones, and word choices are not left behind. Everything evolved into logic, and in the end, he was the best person to see through one precise essence.
So Charlize held her breath.
Dylan stop. He answered firmly.
"They're there to make sure something has been thrown away properly."
He shouldn't have shown a gap.
Just with that thought, Charlize asked.
“If it's a dump, what kind of project are they trying to identify?”
“As I recall, there were only 34 projects that were burned out. For example, the project to make half man half horse, the project to make this race.”
“…”
Dylan looked at Charlize.
Suddenly, Charlize thought her ears were tingling.
He tried to suppress the slight trembling on his lips.
Like his heart, it didn't go well.
"They're cruel, arrogant."
"Teacher."
Dylan's eyes were as blue as the sea.
The vast nature is always honest, but as vibrant as the waves never stop.
"I think there's a reason why Master didn't tell me the witches' purpose."
“···”
'You've seen it as a lie.'
Dylan's eyes were blind as if Charlize was just saying that she was right. However, his fingertips were trembling. But contrary to Charlize's concerns, Dylan was surprised to see her aloof and calm.
"I can't guess it."
Charlize was the highest of the transcendents, so she couldn't guess.
In the unknown world of Dylan, just like humans who could not read minds, humans could not comprehend magic swords.
Dylan approached Charlize.
“While talking to Master, I wondered. May I ask a question?”
Charlize had once tried to ask Dylan that question.
So the answer has been decided.
But if he could do what he wanted, he would refuse.
"Of course, Your Majesty."
Dylan looked at Charlize.
'It was also found inside the Imperial Palace.'
Moreover, he did not pay much attention to it as he saw the traces of making many weapons or artificial swordsmen.
However, it was strange because the underworld and witches were also intertwined.
Dylan's lips opened.
"Teacher, what's a 'Kiera'?"
