I Tamed a Tyrant and Ran Away

Dylan was fast enough to be invisible. His skills were overwhelming.

Master is very rare. Among the knights who came here, there was only one master.

The one who leads the most at the vanguard.

“Kill the traitor! His Majesty gave us his permission!”

However, not all masters were the same master.

For ordinary people, being a master is like a God, but within the master, their skills were divided according to what martial arts they used.

Dylan took a rough breath.

“Ugh!”

The last knight fell while swallowing his saliva. The oil that has spattered on the floor. It burned with a torch that had fallen.

The smoke rose black and covertly like a snake’s coil.

“Lord!”

Hugo came running while riding a horse.

Dylan pulled his mask soaked in water. His skin was revealed under the bright moonlight.

In the blazing fire, he wiped his cheeks with the back of his hand.

“The Emperor is isolated.”

“Where is it?”

“He’s hiding in an underground cave under the sky garden of the west palace. Most of the knights who guarded the Emperor fell. It’s Shadow’s performance.”

“I’m going now.”

Dylan did not hesitate at all, even though he was on his way to usurp the throne from his father.

The ugly secrets of the imperial family that he witnessed in the secret library. His father left the 7th concubine to die in pain. And the will of the 7th concubine who told him to live as he wanted.

Dylan hurried. On the way, he joined the majority of Shadow.

“Group 2 joins! As commanded, we succeeded in capturing all the imperial families except for the 5th Prince!”

“Group 3 joins! We succeeded in securing the imperial seal!”

It was a report that it went smoothly as planned. Dylan ordered.

“Group 5 that followed me is in the library under the secret passage of the northern palace. Group 3, join group 5 and protect the library together.”

“Yes my Lord!”

All those who stood in the way and rebelled were defeated. Yes. According to Charlize’s teachings, if there is anything he wanted, he could get it by force.

He planted fear and dominate. The violent method was easy and convenient.

Dylan, who soon reached a dead end, breathed slowly. The Emperor was there.

***

Charlize is finally back.

After dealing with all the shadow monsters. The strange wizard had disappeared at some point.

Without even revealing his name.

‘For now, the rebellion comes first.’

If she were in a relaxed situation, she would have followed him somehow. Not now. People were dying in abundance.

By the time the full moon rose high in the sky, Charlize returned.

On the same side, but shocked eyes.

“Grandmaster…”

“Al, already.”

Charlize replied by wiping off the blood of the monsters on her sword.

“It was easy because someone helped me. It’s not just my contribution.”

Charlize spoke lightly, but not everyone seemed to believe it. Whether it’s two or several of them, the fact that they dealt with so many monsters.

Because it doesn’t make sense.

‘If he were a master, he would have had sword-energy.’

However, there was no mark left on the monster. The swordsmanship that leaves no trace is the characteristic of Charlize.

‘No way.’

Invisible suspicions sprouted from the people.

Most of the outside of Imperial Palace seemed to be cleared up.

Many of the soldiers who came to support the Emperor were now dead. Those who tried to flock more are stepping down, noticing the situation.

Fwooo-

The third whistle rang.

“As commanded, no one was allowed to get tolerance.”

“…We’ve received the imperial seal, and we already succeeded in besieging the Emperor. The library has been secured, and all the imperial family members have been captured. Grandmaster.”

“Good. …Thank you all for your effort.”

Charlize breathed out slowly. Now she starting to feel it slowly. The end is coming.

How long has she been looking forward to it?

Charlize always said to herself.

‘Let’s exclude emotions and do it for now.’

You shouldn’t be shaken. It shouldn’t collapse. Don’t be distressed.

You should never be eaten by guilt or futility. It has to stop somehow and just has to be achieved. The times she had to promise countless times.

Charlize’s fingertips trembled weakly.

Dylan was always being a student, a lord, and a tool. Charlize did not respect Dylan as a person. Dylan was like the last puzzle to complete Charlize’s plan.

That’s right. Charlize was completely cruel. It was planned. She was selfish. Her nickname of the most wicked woman is perfect.

Charlize turned away from herself. She never looks into herself.

‘I’ve already jumped on my way in with determination.’

She was Keira.

The sin that dared to turn a person into a sword, she deserved to repay it with the empire. She had to go all the way. Soon afterward,

‘Soon. I will see the Emperor on his knees.’

Revenge was just around the corner.

Charlize looked down at her hand.

On second thought, her fingertips were not shaking. She was thrilled with excitement.

The reason why she endured despite suffering insults and humiliation. Waiting for today to see the fall of Dietrich I, who turned herself into Keira, clearly with her both eyes.

Her heart was pounding as much as she looked forward to it. She returned to the age of 13 until she reached the 20-year-old today.

‘It’s been almost 9 years.’

Charlize put down her sword. The surroundings became quiet. The blood-soaked Grand Duke and young masters. Lords, including the Duke of Kenin, and numerous knights and soldiers.

Only focused their gaze on Charlize.

Charlize untied her hair tie and put it down in the air. The hair tie flew smoothly because of the wind.

At the same time, Charlize’s hair shook in the long wind. A subtle scent soon winds around the space.

Charlize stood at the highest peak. Then she looked down at the Imperial Palace.

A symbol of the millennium Empire, consumed by fire and blazing. The screams and cries of people were heard from afar.

Dylan, who overwhelms everything and reigns under the night sky. Drawn vividly before one’s eyes.

“Grandmaster, you.”

Charlize closed her eyes for a moment. And opened it slowly.

“You raised him as a wise king, right?”

The tactician who served the Duke of Kenin came to Charlize and asked her. The trembling voice belongs to those who are already overwhelmed.

Charlize did not answer.

Because she didn’t want to lie. She just laughed.

Everyone held their breath.

At that moment, Charlize’s laughter was so complex.

“…”

Charlize, who saw the burning Imperial Palace, was clearly laughing, but she was not entirely happy.

The smile around her mouth was clear, but her eyes were so strange as if it would be fascinated by someone somewhere.

It catches her eyes. It’s beautiful.

‘However…’

That beauty is not everything.

The strange appearance of the firelight was somewhat sorrowful. At the same time, it shone as if it had finally achieved what was to be achieved.

Instead of the boredom and skepticism that she had tried to suppress somehow, she was like a ruler filled with languid expectations and excitement. Just silent ahead of occupation.

But it’s burning fiercely. A cold icy smile. It feels as colorful and hot as lava.

‘What on earth with Grandmaster… Who are you?’

‘Why do you look so complicated?’

Most of the people that watching her had similar thoughts.

Even if they couldn’t break Charlize’s laughter by talking to her, they wanted to make her stop strangely.

They want to support her at the same time. They thought. They were overwhelmed by an indescribable, contradictory feeling.

Charlize laughed loudly as she caught people’s attention.

Charming like a flower, sharp like a sword, subtle like the moon, intense like the sun.

She shined alone while overpowering all the colors in the world. She reigns unrivaled. Charlize’s laughter was so bright.

***

Meanwhile, Dylan was facing the Emperor.

“What the hell are you doing…! You ungrateful little…! I have raised a beast with my own hands.”

The Emperor, who vomited blood, roughly wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

The situation has already happened.

Even though he may have predicted the future, he inevitably does not lay the wrong crown into his grasp.

The greedy gaze of the father. Where does it seem to belong to the wise king.

According to the plan, he had to take due steps to punish and dethrone the Emperor after kneeling.

But Dylan. He realized for a moment.

‘Revenge.’

The subject that Charlize hates.

The one she hated the most was this Emperor before his eyes.

From the beginning, this destruction was woven in revenge for the Emperor in front of him. The desperate revenge to destroy the imperial family was right, but the direct target was the Emperor.

[I also intend to kill the Emperor.]

Charlize who smiled like a flower. Came across his mind.

Dylan sometimes looked through her essence.

The reason of Charlize’s hatred was unknown, but her hatred toward the imperial family was like deep darkness.

Like the abyss, he could not see the end. But he only knew this. What if Charlize ends her revenge by killing the Emperor with her own hands?

“Let me go! How dare you! Do you think you’ll be safe after this!”

Charlize will let go of her lingering attachment. Her reason for life or the obsession for survival will completely disappear.

Since he realized it, Dylan couldn’t make it like that. Even if he were hated by Charlize and loathed like the Emperor.

He couldn’t stand still to watch Charlize fall down.

The reason is a later problem. Dylan believed in his intuition.

‘Master.’

Dylan hasn’t defined the way of love yet.

If you love someone so much, do you have to put up with everything for that person’s happiness?

He doesn’t know the answer.

Dylan could just let Charlize ruin him, but he couldn’t watch her ruin herself.

‘What should I do?’

He just wanted to protect her. He wanted her to stay. He couldn’t let her go. He wanted to hold onto her. He would like to inspire her with any desire for life somehow.

It’s okay to be accused of obsession. Is it his greed? Is it possessive from vain obsession? He has no intention of owning Charlize. He wanted to respect her.

‘However, this is…’

He knew Charlize’s perfectionist tendencies. As soon as the last puzzle piece of the revenge she had dreamed of fit together, she will suffer a feeling of lassitude and feel skeptical.

It will be painful if she has tormented herself with the work that will end in such a vain way.

He couldn’t let Charlize’s revenge be completed. Because he loves her,

‘I can get hurt, but I can’t see Master get hurt.’

In spite of giving her something more precious than his life, he loves her so deeply so he wouldn’t think that it’s a waste.

‘If Master wasn’t there for me from the beginning. I will not know this feeling. And it would have been all right.’

I got it. Didn’t you tell me yourself? Didn’t you approach and change me first when I wasn’t greedy?

Didn’t you inspire my desire?

Dylan, who never wanted anything in his life, had the first thing he wanted. Only one. It was her. His Master, whom he wanted to get by all means.

His woman.

‘You don’t have to forgive me. I will accept your hatred sweetly.’

So Dylan decided to dispose of the Emperor.

He only knew how to act as a tyrant.  If there is anything you want to have, try to win it at all costs. She taught.

That’s why. The Emperor with his own hands.

Dylan’s sword was raised.
