I Tamed a Tyrant and Ran Away

Alperier.

A secret organization aimed at reviving the dead God, Ehyrit.

She never thought it would get tangled up like this.

Charlize pulled the dagger while thinking.

Payne wrapped his neck with both hands as if he were alive.

‘But why would Alperier want me?’

It was very questionable.

Isn’t it a secret organization famous for being picky about joining? But what do they believe in Charlize to come up with such an offer?

“How can I believe that you’re an Alperier? No, before that. Why me?”

“As expected, you know what Alperier is. Then it will be easier to say.”

However, despite Charlize’s suspicious attitude, Payne has welcomed it.

“First of all, this is the evidence.”

Payne rolled his wrist and showed a tattoo. It was a red lion tattoo which is a symbol of Alperier.

“…”

Charlize became quiet. No one does tattoos for fun.

Above all, when a wizard gets this tattoo, he is immediately expelled from the tower. Therefore, Payne’s words were more likely to be true.

“You can trust me. I’m also an experimenter who participated in the Kiera project.”

Is he saying that he was overwhelmed by revenge because of the Kiera project?

Charlize looked at Payne.

However, Payne was too emotionless to his vengeful gaze.

‘I can’t even feel the energy of Ehyrit.’

Charlize frowned for a moment at the incongruity.

‘But there is a possibility that the piece has not been transplanted on the subject of the experiment.’

Payne answered immediately.

“And, why did I ask you? That’s because you’re a genius. It’s not just swordsmanship. And I recognized it from the beginning.”

Genius? She won’t deny it.

However.

Asked Charlize.

“…Is that all?”

“And you have a strange smell. A strange smell that I have never smelled like any other human before.”

Payne, who seemed to be playful all the time, was serious at that moment.

Strange smell? Charlize paused for a moment. She had a hunch.

‘No way, a piece of Ehyrit.’

Ehyrit’s pieces are famous for smelling nothing.

But Charlize. He could clearly smell the pieces. Was it because she returned with the piece in her body?

Just as poisonous mushrooms that are not good for humans, are the most colorful and beautiful. In the bluestone, which is the source of the monster. There was a fragrant and captivating smell.

It is the scent of an angel that seems to have condensed all the sweetness of the world.

Therefore, when the monster appeared, she knew the raid with only her sense of smell.

But she has never smelled it from herself.

“Mainly, it’s coming from you. And it’s like, crazy addictive. Didn’t you know?”

“…”

Charlize deemed Payne dangerous. But also.

It’s a waste to kill him.

It struck her that she had to keep him alive intuitively. But he didn’t even want to be close to her.

“Well.”

Charlize turned around and said.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

She took the documents signed by the traitors. Documents related to the Kiera project were deliberately left behind.

Would that be wise? She wasn’t sure, but it was a decision she had already made.

“There’s a perfume that my cherished maid made for me. I guess the scent is like that after smelling it.”

“No, it’s not such an artificial smell.”

Payne expressed his anger. He thumped through the air like a dog and shouted.

“This smell can’t be made up! It’s the only one! It’s unique!”

‘His sensitivity is too good.’

Charlize thought.

Still, Payne didn’t look bothersome or bad anymore.

Because she discovered that Payne’s body was damaged everywhere. It was a forcibly remodeled passage through which Ehyrit’s power would pass.

‘Is it an almost dead body that moves with mana?’

Even though she didn’t know his deep vengeance, Payne deserved to hate wizards.

Although there’s no comradeship.

That surgical mark that Payne hid belongs to the victim of the Kiera project.

Moreover, he also noticed Charlize’s genius. He looks pretty sharp.

Charlize decided to be a little more generous. Her tone softened.

“Thank you for the compliment …I’ll go somewhere else to investigate. I’m rejecting it.”

“Huh? Wait, without hearing more? You’ll change your mind if you listen to it. No one knows more about the Kiera project than our organization does.”

The clue to Kiera was the only condition that could provoke Charlize.

However, Charlize already knew the Alperier. Although not much of Alperier is known. Only the conditions for joining the organization were famous.

Because of the nature of being a secret organization, as soon as you belong to it, you have to cut ties with the world.

But Charlize still had to stay by Dylan’s side. She had no time to try to save the dead god by melting into the secret organization.

It wasn’t worth the trouble. The conclusion had already been concluded by rejection.

Clues about Kiera can be traced alone.

‘I know that’s why Payne offered me.’

“Yes, it’s a no.”

Charlize said calmly, but clearly. She put the dagger back into the necklace, leaving Payne behind.

Payne seemed to try to persuade Charlize more, but Charlize went out of the shed.

She already got everything she could get, so it didn’t matter.

As Charlize stepped out a little further, she saw Kahu with Shadow.

Falling underworld people, arrested traitors, rescued slaves.

“I meet the grandmaster.”

As soon as they saw Charlize, Shadow knelt down together.

Even if they were rescuing a slave. Even if it was a situation where they were facing a sword with a member of the underworld.

Showing courtesy to Charlize was their top priority.

After Charlize gave a nod likewise, she looked back for a moment. Payne wasn’t there.

But Charlize had a hunch. Payne will never give up.

***

Dylan was a genius.

His genius in all fields was no exception to painting.

The brush strokes on the canvas felt as sacred as the realm of God. Dylan was immersed in the canvas in front of him.

‘Charlize Ronan.’

What Dylan drew was Charlize.

The delicate and elegant brushstrokes were very realistic. Even though he was drawing it based only on his memory without a model in front of him.

It was so lifelike that it was perfect.

Because it was a state of immersion, the hands moved on their own without the judgment of the head. Then suddenly Dylan was surprised.

At one point, next to Charlize, who was smiling brightly, Kahu was pictured looking at her.

“…”

Dylan stopped the brush and looked into the canvas.

It must be a reflection of the unconscious.

There’s no way he wants to paint Charlize smiling next to Kahu.

As Dylan sat in his chair and looked at the canvas, the attendant from the distance approached him.

Dylan gestured in the air before the painting could be seen.

He used his mana to volatilize all the paints contained in the canvas.

“Your Majesty.”

The attendant bent down and called Dylan. He glanced at the Emperor’s canvas, but there was nothing but white.

The attendant suppressed his curiosity. It wasn’t an emotion that was allowed to the employee.

“The grandmaster has come.”

“…Master?”

Dylan, who had been colorless and odorless like a calmly sunk stone, revived only then.

It was certainly a joy in his voice. But soon Dylan tried to suppress his feelings somehow. He shouldn’t get caught by Charlize.

The emperor stood up to meet Charlize.

“The grandmaster is waiting in the moonlight garden.”

The weather is quite chilly now.

Dylan went outside in a coat made out of the beast’s fur. Dylan’s steps were in a hurry.

***

Soon there was Charlize in his sight.

Charlize often caresses the buds when she is alone. Even now, Charlize touched the flowers with a face as if she were having a conversation.

Dylan stopped slowly. He looked at Charlize a little further away. His gaze stole Charlize down.

‘It’s the first time I see the dress.’

Charlize was wearing a gold fancy dress.

Dylan felt dizzy for a moment.

He was memorizing all Charlize’s clothes. And as far as he knows, that dress is the first dress Charlize wears.

Since she stayed at Kahu’s mansion the day before. It was supposed to be a dress given by the Duke circumstantially.

All of a sudden. He wants that clothes to be torn. He was hoping.

Dylan’s hand clenched into a fist.

‘It’s jealousy, it’s a wrong desire for possession.’

Dylan couldn’t shake off his feelings even if he blamed himself like that.

The fact that he became the emperor attracts many people’s attention. He couldn’t go directly to the underworld because it was obvious that it was dangerous.

‘But was it the imperial throne who came up to do this?’

Dylan stayed up the night before, thinking dozens of times.

He hated himself for being able to do nothing when Charlize was sleeping in Kahu’s mansion. Yeah,

‘I cannot claim any rights to Master.’

They were not in a relationship.

Fortunately, he’s busy organizing the country right now, so he doesn’t talk about marriage. But when he finds stability soon.

He doesn’t know what will happen. During the candidacy of the Crown Princess, all of the young noble ladies, who were already decent, married or gave up with others.

Now, in order to find the potential bride, he had to find it in another country, so there was still time.

To suit the empress. At least she should be more than the imperial princess of another empire. There are only two unmarried princesses left on the continent now.

Charlize wouldn’t be aware of this situation either.

In fact, everyone couldn’t say anything, but they thought Dylan and Charlize were as good as Kahu and Charlize.

Charlize is a princess of the Ronan family. Even if she’s not Ronan, she’s the Emperor’s teacher.

But Charlize doesn’t dream of being the empress, and Dylan recognized this reality more clearly than anyone else.

‘If I’d rather.’

He just hopes time doesn’t go by.

Dylan has never seen such an interesting being in his life. Every time he saw it, his heartbeats, and he doesn’t feel bored to be alive.

The only and unique being.

It was Charlize and she was the only one in the world. He hopes this period, which is okay to look at Charlize, will be as long as possible.

For that limited time. He hopes Charlize doesn’t get along with Kahu either, but that’s probably too much greed.

Dylan isn’t anyone’s man yet because Charlize is just beautiful. He couldn’t break it. He couldn’t get close to her.

But time goes by.

Coldly, Charlize looked back. A sense of tension quickly infiltrates the gaze entangled in the air.

“Your Majesty.”

Charlize called Dylan sweetly.

I love you.

But he couldn’t say that.

Dylan smiled.

“Master.”

Nevertheless, he couldn’t hide the secret impulse under his eyes.
