I Tamed a Tyrant and Ran Away - Chapter 114

That night.

After talking to Dylan, Charlize called Lucy.

Lucy, who came running immediately, looked at Charlize and hesitated for a moment. She realized that she had grown attached to her.

‘I hate the monster…’

But when she saw Charlize, she had no choice but to do so.

Should she say that she has lived a very miserable life?

Charlize, whom she met for the first time in three years, remained the same. At first sight, she fell in love with her swordsmanship and chased after her, and then. She was frightened, yet somehow attracted to her.

Even Lucy, who is accustomed to blood, was simply overwhelming.

As if naturally attracted to the color of blood. It was an irresistible charm.

‘Although the fear is really great.’

From the beginning, she was much more frightening than the creepy and terrifying secret groups such as Alperier and the magic tower.

It was still the same today.

‘It must be because I am afraid.’

Irregular beating of the heart.

Charlize, who had called and was writing a letter, put down her pen. Charlize raised her head and looked at Lucy.

The navy blue eyes, which were clear and mysterious, were as wide as the universe.

For a moment, Lucy thought that maybe if Charlize had been a man, her heart might have been racing in a slightly different way.

“Give this letter to Alperier.”

“Yes, I understand.”

It was in the bedroom. Charlize casually handed the letter.

Lucy was fortunate that her hot cheeks would be covered in the dark.

She is also the guild leader of the assassination guild, but she also serves as the information guild, so she was familiar with the situation.

Lucy disappeared as if running away.

[You are now free. You worked hard all this time.]

According to Charlize’s personality, the letter was short.

In fact, Charlize could work alone.

It would be easier with the help of another group, but even if she was alone. It could have been more efficient.

Because she can immerse herself in it without emotion and push things away like crazy.

‘Besides, Dylan said he would absolutely help.’

Dylan’s cooperation seemed to have nothing to fear.

It’s because she has been watching just how genius he is. It was a natural trust.

But the situation was rather delicate.

Charlize was dangerous for Dylan. Just as the 7th concubine had dreamed of having a baby. The reason Dylan had to live without a presence was, after all, to keep him out of Kiera’s sight.

‘Fate.’

But as the ancient gods in the form of fairies said, they felt strongly that it was fate.

Charlize decided not to think deeply.

If you keep calm all the time, it’ll be all right.

Lucy had disappeared before she knew it. Charlize looked out of the window at the garden.

The moon shone brightly.

Meanwhile, Alperier.

They were in a secret and splendid room. It was a place where nobles often visited for secret meetings.

“What are we all going to do? The leader herself said she was the perfect experimenter for the Kiera project.”

“What are we all going to do, what? All you have to do is trust the leader.”

“It’s not a matter of trust. It’s a matter of what we will do in the future.”

The corps commanders exchanged a conversation with each other.

Derian, who had been quiet, looked at Payne.

“Payne, did you know?”

“A little bit. But I didn’t even know that the leader was the evil god Kiera.”

“What is that?”

“I thought the leader was a real piece of Ehyrit.”

“Explain it properly.”

Payne decided not to hold it alone. Now they were complete colleagues.

A hidden story. To tell that, Payne began to talk slowly.

“The magic tower did not intend to make the magic sword Kiera. They were looking for a bowl to hold the evil to make evil gods. Evils are the source of mana used by wizards. And the leader was a very suitable person for it.”

“But if you eat a piece of Ehyrit, the body turns into iron, right?”

“I don’t know that much. How can the leader maintain a human body? That’s why I was convinced that the leader was a real piece of Ehyrit.”

“What is a real piece?”

Payne continued.

“A person who shows overwhelming genius in all fields. The real piece of Ehyrit was born as a human.”

“…”

“And the evil god Kiera cannot bear the murderous intent towards the real piece.”

“…Well, then.”

“That’s probably why the leader left the emperor and ran away. The leader was actually the evil god Kiera, and yes. Because the real piece of Ehyrit is Emperor Dylan.”

At last, Alperier’s face was filled with conviction.

“I see.”

“Now we understand, Payne.”

Said the Alperier, who had heard the whole story, with a rather light face. Each of the corps commanders expressed their own opinions. Said Wendy.

“The leader saved my life.”

“In fact, that’s true. It is no exaggeration to say that we were all saved by the leader. Because the magic tower was always trying to hunt us down.”

Zenius replied seriously. In the early days of joining Charlize, it was Zenius who distrusted the leader, but now he could not imagine Alperier without Charlize.

If it hadn’t been for Charlize, they would have all died.

The magic tower was nothing but evil.

In the past, they worked hand in hand with the underworld and committed all the vile acts of immorality on the continent, so even now, he has not given up on the Kiera project.

“No matter what the leader is, she is our leader.”

However, the meeting was interrupted because someone knocked on the door.

The neatly locked doorknob turned and someone entered. The Alperiers were wary, but it was a familiar face.

Lucy. She had a letter in her mouth.

“Cut the chatter. I’m here because of Her Highness Charlize. I’m leaving right away.”

Lucy only handed the letter and went out the door again.

Naturally, Derian opened the letter and read it.

[You are now free. You worked hard all this time.]

“She says we are free?”

When they thought over it, Charlize’s words to say that if they want to leave, then leave, meant that they don’t have to come back.

The letter means that Charlize will resign as Alperier’s leader.

Originally, there was not even a leader and a member system in the Alperier, but now they could not even imagine the Alperier where Charlize was not the leader.

“No, I don’t want to be free… I want to be with the leader forever…”

Wendy cried. Alperier’s commanders looked into each other’s eyes.

Then they realized later. That they had not returned to the mansion enough to make Charlize misunderstand.

“We have to go see the leader right away.”

They moved right away.

Charlize at the mansion. She was arranging the flowers in the garden.

Actually, she just talked to the ancient gods because they were there.

“Leader.”

“…? You’re here.”

Charlize, who seemed surprised for a moment, had an indifferent face. Derian took the lead first and bowed his head.

“Leader, please take the word freedom.”

However, the five people, including Zenius, who was next to him, knelt down to Charlize first.

“I don’t care who the leader is.”

“I’m happy just working with the leader. I don’t want freedom. Please take it back.”

“It has nothing to do with the leader’s identity. I can’t even imagine the Alperier without a leader, now.”

“That’s right, how proud we are.”

Charlize had a slightly strange face.

She knows the personality of not giving up on her subordinates.

‘Anyway.’ She thought it was going to end with some indifferent replies. Charlize said with the corners of her eyes slightly white.

“Thanks for saying that.”

For a moment, Alperier was suffocated and stopped at those words. Their heart was about to stop for a moment. It was such a harmful smile.

“…Yes? This?”

It was the first time they heard a thank you from the leader.

The cheeks of the corps commanders were red in a different way. They shouted.

“If you like it, I can say it every day, every minute, every second!”

“Leader, I’m more than grateful. No. Thank you!”

“Well.”

Charlize turned her gaze away.

Sure enough, the ancient gods were gone.

She just said it because she was impressed by the stories whispered by the ancient gods when Alperier spoke.

‘Is it good to be good?’

Charlize laughed softly.

Seeing that smile, Alperier could not say anything for a long time this time.

***

“This is news of the return of the Alperier, Your Majesty.”

Dylan, who was handing over the papers to take care of the affair, stopped at Hugo’s report. Dylan looked up and was silent for a moment.

The emperor leaned his upper body deeper into the chair and frowned as if he didn’t like something.

He made predictions. Because there was an unusual side to the Alperier’s loyalty to Charlize.

‘I liked the monopoly period of owning Charlize.’

Still, he was much more happy to be alone with Charlize.

If Charlize only looks at himself, talks, discusses, and works together.

-Dylan stopped thinking about continuing.

‘But it seems to have shaken Charlize.’

Now Charlize has opened her heart to Dylan to a certain extent.

Even though the string of cold reasons was still hard, it didn’t seem like it would break. Now she has changed her mind by sharing information with Dylan and running toward the same goal.

“Fire.”

As Dylan spoke, Hugo immediately lit a cigarette and waited for an order.

But Dylan glanced at him and said.

“Stop, I don’t smoke anymore.”

Addiction meant nothing to the emperor. The thought of cutting off everything except Charlize could be cut off once and for all.

Hugo opened his eyes wide as if he was surprised, but seemed strangely pleased. But Dylan simply didn’t want Charlize to smell the cigarette.

For Charlize’s health. Because he loves her to death.

Soon Hugo brought the fire.

Dylan said, handing over the proposal.

“Burn it.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The proposal was given from the hidden magic tower. Well, the hidden magic tower approached Dylan first, summarizing their requirements and handing them over.

“And tell them. The proposal is rejected.”

“I accept Your Majesty’s order.”

Hugo bowed his head thoroughly.

‘Because there’s no way Charlize would like this.’

Dylan thought with cold eyes.

At the same time, this means antagonizing the leaders of the magic tower. They would have understood.

The ‘hidden magic tower’ was used only for the purpose to get Charlize back. There was no need for them now, and never will be. Rather, the more the connection is revealed, the more likely it will be that Charlize’s unconscious resentment arises.

‘Never.’

Dylan raised his gaze.

In the time Charlize lived, perhaps the Imperial family and the magic tower might have joined hands to make Kiera. Now.

‘The imperial family hunts magic towers.’

Dylan was determined to eradicate the evils of this continent.

It was a decision not for justice, but only for Charlize.

The magic tower will be destroyed. Because Charlize wants it. However, it must have been an arduous process. Still, he’s happy. It’s hard revenge for Charlize to do it alone. Because she needs Dylan.

‘The hidden magic tower will appear soon.’

Charlize thought he could finally end Kiera’s revenge, so he burned it, but Dylan thought it was a chance.
