I Tamed a Tyrant and Ran Away-Chapter 111

It was the first time Dylan heard her speak informally.

In the meantime, she has always politely spoken only with the honorific titles leading to the Prince, Your Highness, and Your Majesty.

But Dylan just listened to Charlize’s informal speech.

Charlize slowly began to talk.

Because she had to explain how Kiera was made.

“I, as you might expect, wasn’t a great person before my return.”

Said Charlize. In the past, Charlize was living as a sinner in the Grand Duke’s family. Unlike now, she was called a wicked woman who ate her mother.

She calmly confessed that she tried to die to be loved by her family, but she couldn’t.

“I also had one talent.”

That’s the sword’s talent.

Charlize’s dream was to become a knight.

“But I wasn’t recognized.”

Looking back, Charlize’s previous talent was also a genius. At that time, Charlize herself did not know, but she had already reached the master.

But she didn’t know. Because no one has ever seen Charlize’s swordsmanship.

Since all she had to do was train by herself, Charlize herself only thought she was better than others.

“Above all, I couldn’t cut anyone back then.”

So, she was likely misunderstood by other people for just how much potential she had. Unfortunately, it was Dylan’s father who discovered Charlize’s genius first.

It was Dietrich I.

“Like many experimenters in the Project Kiera, they were taken away.”

At first, she thought she was going to be a knight, but when she found out that she wasn’t, Charlize literally ran wild.

She didn’t expect that her essence would break into a sword, but she felt a greater fear than death.

“Just a sword.”

It was Charlize’s first real battle with a human and the moment she cut a human for the first time.

With that, Charlize cut down all the restraints that bound her, and even killed several of the Emperor’s secret knights who had reached the Master.

God-given talent.

“The Emperor was satisfied with it.”

The antique tone was the echo of Kiera.

Charlize did not hide her name from Dylan. Now Charlize is Kiera too.

At that time, Dietrich I was smiling even though he lost more than half of his power.

“As expected, the guardian sword.”

Dietrich I’s voice uttered with satisfaction.

Since then, Charlize has been firmly bound and became Kiera without ever resisting.

Charlize said.

“When I opened my eyes, I became both a sword and a god.”

The wizards of the magic tower who called Charlize the evil god.

In shock, she overcame her memory and only recently recalled it, Charlize said.

“After that, it’s like imagining it. I became the guardian sword of the imperial family, the magic sword Kiera, and was held in the hands of the emperors.”

She lived in unbearable pain and loneliness while only being able to communicate with the emperors.

400 years of being taken hostage from the Grand Duchy Ronan and having to kill countless people.

When anger reaches, you sometimes feel no sensation at all. Yes, it happened. That’s what she was trying to get revenge on. She thought the same thing.

The rest of the memories buried in revenge were clear, but she deliberately erased her feelings. It’s just hot, so it cools down, and cools down. Cool it down again so that only cold anger remains.

She was running only for revenge with a thorough reason. Dylan, who was watching Charlize like that, suddenly opened his lips.

“I don’t know if it’s okay for me to dare to get angry with the blood of the imperial family flowing inside me.”

As he asked if he could be angry, she could already read anger in Dylan’s eyes. A feeling of heat that is visible even when suppressed.

“I’m angry. To the extent that I want to find those who are already dead or in the future that will never come and make them pay for all their sins.”

“…Yes.”

“If I curse at them.”

Dylan stopped talking.

“Are you surprised?”

She thought he would listen to it as if it were nothing according to his calm personality. But she could hear Dylan’s breathing. A faint murderous look.

Instead, seeing Dylan getting angry, Charlize was momentarily dazed.

It was the first time someone understood her, but it was the first time that he had gotten angry like this.

“No, I’m not surprised.”

For a moment, Dylan spat out slang words.

Charlize blinked her eyes because his look was just different and perfectly matched.

The most dignified and noble emperor curses them with vulgar language like humans in the underworld. Nevertheless.

In fact, it was good to feel relieved.

“It’s not natural for anyone to suffer like that, even if it’s not you, whom I love.”

“…I guess so.”

“You were a human being, not Kiera. No evil god or metal.”

Humans. The echo sounded unusually long. Dylan’s eyes suddenly sank.

“So I understand.”

Charlize was puzzled.

“The reason why you abandoned me.”

The meal is over. Dylan stood up from his chair and approached Charlize. Dylan, who was getting closer, went straight without hesitation.

“You used me.”

Dylan lowered himself to Charlize, who was sitting in the chair, and grabbed her closer.

His face was too close to her face. When they breathe out, each other’s skin is tickled enough.

Dylan’s eyes looked closely at Charlize.

“Did you intend to kill me?”

“…”

Charlize’s lips hardened as if captured for a moment.

‘If I die at Charlize’s hands, it might have been as good as it was.’

Dylan consoled Charlize while thinking that way inside.

Charlize always said that humans are imperfect. If you want to be perfect, you need to be immutable. Life itself is a series of imperfections, so humans are bound to be perfect by death.

If the love for Charlize ends at the end where he is killed by Charlize, what could be a more perfect story than that?

However, Dylan did not show his twisted obsession. He just touched Charlize’s hair and kissed it.

“That’s not true.”

At Charlize who blinked, Dylan covered Charlize’s cheek with his palm.

The warmth of the skin was hot. It was soft at the same time.

‘How long haven’t we done it?’

Probably about a week.

It was long enough for his touch to feel provocative.

Charlize opened her lips. Dylan touched the air as if he were taking the leaking breath with his hand.

Charlize thought it was difficult. To have a conversation with him. Rather than saying this, she thinks she should have told him in advance instead of leaving.

There was a possibility that Dylan could live without a death threat without knowing about the evil god Kiera, so he would do so even if she went back.

“… You were the most precious thing to me, the first light, and the person I never wanted to lose.”

Dylan was looking at Charlize.

As she listened to him, Charlize realized.

‘He didn’t tell me.’

“Even if I have to put the blood of countless people in my hands, if I can save you, I will do it. Only you will be saved.”

“But you are supposed to be killed by the evil god Kiera.”

An ironic fate.

In the past, Charlize killed Dylan.

She still hasn’t found a way to change that fate.

“To me, you were something I could never lose. The one and only existence that cannot be replaced by anyone. I still love you.”

She meant it as if she were vomiting blood.

She conveyed it with a pure heart that could not be said more sincerely than this.

But Dylan wasn’t as happy as he was before.

It’s obvious.

Charlize felt that Dylan had scars that were hard to heal. She understood it as it was a pity because it was what Charlize had brought on her own.

“It is difficult to accept it.”

“It would be so.”

“It’s hard because you abandoned me, Master.”

He believes in Charlize’s love, but it is difficult to fully accept Charlize because she has run away twice.

Charlize listened quietly. In fact, she was prepared.

Because his resentment is natural.

“But if I was in that kind of situation. I would have made the same choice.”

Charlize paused for a moment as if it was unexpected.

Dylan gently stroked Charlize’s lips with his index finger.

Dylan looked like he understood why Charlize had no choice but to leave.

“And, actually, I’m grateful.”

Charlize’s eyes slowly widened as she thought about Dylan’s criticism.

Why?

Why don’t you criticize me?

“How painful, Master. It must have been a pain that you couldn’t tell anyone.”

“…”

“It must have been so hard to protect me. I think I understand how you feel.”

To protect me… Dylan said, leaning into Charlize’s arms.

“You always bear the burden alone and save me. To protect me. But, Master, I just liked Master as you are.”

“Even though you know what I am?”

“I like it even that way.”

Charlize was out of breath for a moment.

For a moment, it felt unfamiliar to her to be a human being.

It was a very obvious fact, but she suddenly realized that Dylan was a human being.

He was understanding Charlize. He was sympathetic. He embraced and wrapped everything.

How could that be?

Why the hell isn’t he mad? Do you like me that much?

There was no way to interpret this incomprehensible situation other than Dylan’s love. Charlize used Dylan and left without explaining.

‘Yeah, I left you.’

So now you have to be mad at me. You have to ask myself why I did that.

Whether it’s screaming, crying, or pouring out your emotions, you can actually take it all.

Don’t just take my side while looking at me with such a friendly look, caressing me. Why do you treat me like that?

I don’t deserve to be treated like this.

What’s the reason for being so low to me? Why are you doing this for me?

“I fully understand the reason why you want to kill the magic tower. And.”

Charlize’s breath trembled slightly.

“Thank you for telling me this difficult story. Seriously.”

“… You said it too late.”

“No. I know it’s a difficult story to tell. Thank you for allowing me to know your burden.”

It was a complete understanding that she had never even received from her parents.

Moreover, it was an embrace that even Charlize had not shown Dylan. Because Charlize was always asking Dylan.

Because she taught him to grow up as a tyrant. Leaving a lingering nuance that Dylan, not a tyrant, wouldn’t admit.

Charlize has been cruel to Dylan so far. He satisfied Charlize’s expectations because he was Dylan, but he knows how cruel the demand to become a tyrant is.

Dylan kept telling her that he didn’t care who Charlize was. He was just so far away that she couldn’t believe it.

“It breaks my heart to think that you must have kept such secrets by yourself. It breaks my heart, Master.”

“You…”

She was speechless.

Those words shook Charlize too hard.

So, Charlize did not realize that Dylan, who had a dangerous look, was changing and whispering sweetly. It was an area that she so desperately needed.

“Thank you for protecting me.”

Dylan didn’t normally come close to Charlize’s thoughts, but now that she’s weakened, he can read them.

Of course, it was too much to have the other inner side as deep as the abyss. Dylan noticed that Charlize was breaking his heart now.

Dylan said seriously.

“Thank you for protecting me for three years.”

“…”

“But, Master, I want to ask you one thing.”

“…Tell me.”

“What am I that Kiera wants to kill?”

Charlize felt that she had to answer right away at this moment.

It was actually a good idea.

Because if she didn’t answer, Dylan even thought about doing whatever he wanted, even if he would be loved or hated by Charlize.

‘That’s a relief.’

He can’t kill Alperier, but he can induce it. Dylan intended to move secretly this time if he couldn’t even pretend to be weak. Charlize opened her mouth.

“Your Majesty.”

The worries are over. If she knows anyway, she’d better just tell him.

“You’re a real piece of Ehyrit.”

Charlize added in a whisper.

Speaking informally returned to the honorifics. Charlize was no longer Kiera, but Charlize again.

And.

“As expected, so it is.”

Dylan answered with a calm face.

It was something unexpected.

Charlize blinked for a moment.

Because he didn’t seem to be in the slightest bewildered.

Charlize, who was looking at Dylan’s face, finally realized.

‘Maybe it’s not something you didn’t know.’

What she thought was the secret of existence, hugging Charlize alone.

She was slightly surprised.

Dylan’s eyes were on Charlize.

“I knew it.”
