I Tamed a Tyrant and Ran Away-Chapter 54
Kahu was surprised. Instinctively, his body froze and couldn’t move.
It wasn’t until Charlize lifted her sword that Kahu turned his body sharply. There was no sign. The huge grip of the golem was aiming at Kahu.
‘This is?’
It was the first time he had seen a monster like that.
Kahu was confused. But Charlize accepted the situation very calmly.
Rather than being surprised, she approached the golem who was attacking Kahu in an instant.
Charlize’s movement was quick. She struck the wood golem’s shoulder with her sword. Dozens of golems poured out soon, perhaps because they were hiding.
‘There’s a golem already?’
Golem is an artificial monster that appears only 100 years later.
Because it’s a magic tower that turns people into swords. There’s nothing they can’t do.
The technology would still be insufficient.
But surely it will.
‘Is it the butterfly effect caused by the suspension of the Keira project?’
The development of technology has been accelerated.
‘Or, the technology was completed behind the scenes without the imperial family’s knowledge.’
Charlize’s sword moved quickly.
Swoosh.
She cut down the wood golem. Growing up, Charlize quickly cut off the branches that were trying to squeeze her body.
The wood golem is not living things.
Of course, all the monsters are not living things.
These were the most dangerous and cruel evil itself, created by a mixture of people’s malice.
“Why do I feel so bad?”
Kahu seemed to mumble unconsciously. No matter how master he was, he was a man who was quite sensitive and saw something close to the essence.
“It’s a golem, but it’s made by modifying a monster, so it’s the right behavior.”
“…Are you saying it was modified from the monster? How is that possible?”
Kahu expressed his doubts.
“Because golems are made by rebuilding the pieces of monster-like chimeras.”
Charlize explained after defeating the wood golem with her sword, who was running at her.
“It doesn’t matter anyway.”
Charlize cut off the golem’s leg.
“When it was attacked in a joint on its knee, its strength disappears. The weakness is at the bottom.”
It was a calm and composed tone.
Kahu was shocked by the monsters he had seen for the first time but soon became accustomed to Charlize’s atmosphere. Kahu panicked and drew his sword.
‘I’ve never heard of this monster. How did she know this?’
Does the Emperor know this? Is that why he sent Charlize?
No. If he knew, he wouldn’t have sent Kahu and Charlize alone. He would have provided more troops. There’s something like this.
“Bend down, Young Duke.”
Charlize’s sword immediately cut down five golems.
Like a fish in water, Charlize was running effortlessly among the golems.
Immediately, Kahu got frightened. He thought it was great when he watched Charlize’s performance on the day of the rebellion from a distance.
‘It’s a different experience to witness this close and personal with both eyes.’
This inhuman strength. Kahu felt strange.
Kahu recalled Charlize before returning.
‘She was a different young lady now.’
Even though she was a knight.
Once, he had seen a sword from a distance. Although she was a genius, her situation had broken her talent so much that reaching Master seemed unreasonable.
Skills with clear limits.
‘The person who was like that now.’
The wood golem that comes up with the tree, reached out its arm and tried to attack Charlize.
Charlize jumped up and avoided the tree thrown by the golem. Shortly after. She finely lowered her body and swung her sword from beneath.
Three golems fall at the same time.
Seeing what Charlize did, Kahu tried to follow her, but he was soon bewildered.
‘It’s tough.’
The tree trunk was tougher than he imagined.
So no matter how hard he tried to cut it, it didn’t cut well.
Charlize handled several golems in a row so easily. He thought it would be possible thoughtlessly, but not at all.
“Young Duke, stick behind my back.”
As soon as she pulled the sword, Charlize, who saved Kahu, whispered slowly.
Kahu was unfamiliar with the feeling of being protected. He supported her by sticking her back as Charlize said.
The monster that Charlize did not deal with was cut down by Kahu with his mana.
“Thank you, Young Duke.”
Soon all the golems fell.
Charlize’s eyes turned to the floor.
Kahu’s harsh breathing is heard up close.
“I wonder if I’m bothering you.”
“No, it was definitely helpful.”
Kahu did one person’s part.
Charlize raised her head.
When all the wood golems fell, dozens of stone golems appeared this time.
A monster that combines Ehyrit’s pieces with solid monster bodies.
‘Is the magic tower has already developed the technology so far?’
It’s several times more difficult to deal with than the wood golem. Kahu, who unknowingly clenched his teeth, squeezed his sword.
Charlize said.
“Maybe I should step up.”
“…It’s dangerous…!”
Kahu, who was trying to stop Charlize, inadvertently blurted out his words.
Charlize, who was in Kahu’s memory, was always a lady who wanted the affection of her family. A talent that was a sword genius but buried, a fine dress, a beautiful and charming slender appearance.
[The Grand Duke’s princess is so lovely. Why doesn’t Ronan recognize her?]
Behind Charlize, the voice of the gossiping high society. He remembered.
That’s what he thought about Charlize. Now she was completely different from what Kahu thought.
A genius who raised the 13th prince as the emperor. The Grandmaster. And…
‘The one whom I saw in rebellion.’
A cruel sword that cut down countless things in the middle of the sea of fire.
Which one are you?
Now he was afraid that his return would be considered a dream. Kahu recalled and recalled his memories before his return.
Charlize stepped out like on the day of rebellion, but she was an overwhelming sword than that day.
She cut down all the stone golem. Killing without any reaction. Get rid of it.
Nothing can overcome Charlize. It really makes no sense. All those things that Kahu would have struggled with, just by herself.
It was a terrifying and cold sword only for destruction.
‘A sword that is close to perfection.’
Kahu suddenly realized.
Charles is a textbook in itself, a reference point. The flow of the sword she cut had to be the sample of all the knights, and Charlize’s skill had to be the goal.
‘I’ve never seen you like this before.’
When Charlize decided, it didn’t take long to deal with dozens of stone golems.
In this era. No, is there anyone to fight among humans? Her swordsmanship, which made him think without taking his eyes off her, ended in an instant.
Charlize was standing. Nothing moved. Among them, Charlize was still beautiful.
Kahu swallowed his breath.
Encroaching in the beauty near death. Like a rainbow that gently spreads in the sunlight among the falling raindrops. Standing on the border of life and death, each of them seemed to be drunk with its own beauty.
The splendor of life. The silence of death.
“…”
Charlize turned her head and looked at Kahu. Only after receiving her gaze. Kahu realized that he was holding his breath.
He breathed out. His lungs were burning.
“Please keep it a secret.”
It was then that Kahu realized she was truly different.
She wasn’t Charlize Ronan, whom he already knew.
But when he thought so, the thorough stereotype began to unravel.
Everything that was taken lightly or passed naturally seemed to be now known.
Something was wrong with Charlize. Also.
“Seeing that a lot of monsters were released, it seems that the young duke was very afraid.”
“Yes, definitely…”
Kahu’s thoughts were interrupted. It was because Charlize has been smiling with a bright face. Just to make her look kind.
Kahu answered blankly.
Charlize took her eyes off him and said.
“Well, you ought to be. We have to do our best to track it down from here.”
Charlize set out first.
Kahu stood quietly for a while, and soon followed Charlize.
From the beginning, Kahu’s mission was to help Charlize.
“In order to make the Duke of Delmon a dedicated person of His Majesty.”
Emperor Dylan,
The nobles with their knees down under him confessed with a serious attitude.
“You have to marry the young duke to the grandmaster.”
Dylan’s expression was calm. In response to the tactless nobleman’s remarks, those next to him also agreed.
“Isn’t there not yet a firm dedication that the Duke of Delmon supports His Majesty? At a time when he’s even given a heavy-duty of being the imperial knight commander.”
“Yes. Now is the opportunity for them to work together.”
“As they work, their relationship will naturally get closer, and on top of that, isn’t t the grandmaster has already had a marriage offer from the young duke once?”
Dylan said nothing. The nobles continued to speak.
“The grandmaster is on His Majesty’s side, but she has not reconciled with the Grand Duke of Ronan, so I would say that she lacks power as a pivotal political power.”
“There can be no clearer way to lay the groundwork for the Emperor’s faction than the marriage of the young duke and the grandmaster, Your Majesty.”
The nobles declared with loyalty. It was obviously a calm Dylan on the outside. But he had a cruel thought inside.
Dylan’s gaze reached his sword for a while with a clear meaning. A long-lasting look in his eyes. But he soon took his eyes off. Not yet.
Because it’s not the right time.
“Any other way?”
Dylan only said one sentence.
But with that. Everyone’s mouth was shut.
“It does take a little while. But there’s a way to build a new Knight Academy to inspire loyalty to His Majesty from a young age.”
They were wary, then quickly moved on to another topic.
That’s the only way to live. It was an act close to instinct.
Dylan’s eyes subsided calmly.
‘They’ll be close to each other naturally as they work.’
How Charlize and Kahu are together. Just imagining it made his back cold.
When they get closer naturally. No, even if they get closer. Wouldn’t it be farther than the relationship with himself?
‘We’ve been together for years.’
But again, it was unknown.
At the moment when the rational emotions pervaded, the scale of the mind can be sharply turned to one side.
Charlize didn’t seem to be excited about Dylan. It’s a completely different position from Kahu, who had seen the possibility of being her fiancée from the beginning.
Charlize, she was his Master.
‘And.’
There was something the nobles didn’t know.
Charlize is perfect by herself. Even if all the emperor nobles were assassinated and killed, Charlize remained alone.
Charlize represents hundreds of forces. What is the foundation of the Emperor’s faction? From the beginning, Charlize was its root.
The glory of the Grand Duke of Ronan, the union of noble families through marriage. She didn’t need it all.
Dylan gently squeezed his hand.
He closed his eyes for a moment, listening to the stories of the nobles with a calm face.
It doesn’t calm his mind. It was because he felt like he was going crazy.
‘You can’t go crazy.’
It’s because he was so emotional. He couldn’t have Charlize. Because he loves her so much. He had no intention of moving recklessly.
Dylan had been very careful with his actions in front of Charlize since he had a gut feeling at the drinking party.
‘I want to have her.’
The sudden thought reflected the raw desire.
Dylan shut his mouth.
No, actually.
‘I want to lock her up.’
A desire intense enough to be dizzy.
He didn’t open his closed eyes. He just clenches his fist. Hard enough for the tip of his nails to dig into his palms.
Even so. Dylan endured the rising possessive desire.
