I Tamed a Tyrant and Ran Away

Chapter 88

It became quiet everywhere as if mice were dead. Charlize’s eyes were cold. But the energy flowing out was unusual.

Payne felt strangled. His breath suffocated. For a moment, cold sweat seemed to flow down behind Payne’s back.

“Who am I?”

Charlize asked.

This was the greatest patience Charlize could have. She asked to see if he had identified the exact identity, but the moment she heard it, her hand almost raised her sword.

No, she could have killed him without using a sword. Like Payne.

In the first place, Payne’s life was attached to Charlize’s life. There’s no way he wouldn’t know that.

‘She’s scary.’

Payne was really betting his last gamble. No. After he found out who Charlize was, he understood everything.

The dozens of defensive magic that Payne wore would be broken in less than ten minutes the moment Charlize made up her mind.

But he still said it. He had to.

“Thirteen years old. You had already filled out the application for the 13th Prince’s teacher. With a perfect paper proving your qualifications as a teacher. It was ridiculous in the common sense. It was never a paper to be written by a young noble lady who had never received a proper education.”

It seemed like no one was thinking deeply, but it’s a nonsensical record. Furthermore, if you’re a child who ‘has no knowledge’.

Payne opened his lips.

“And you succeeded in raising the 13th prince to the emperor in a short period of time.”

She had a clear purpose, didn’t she?

Charlize didn’t necessarily open her mouth. She doesn’t know how far Payne figured it out.

Payne said confidently.

“There is a reason why you had to raise the 13th Prince to the Emperor.”

Because it’s related to her identity.

Charlize was looking at Payne expressionlessly. She softened to Kahu, but that was because he knew only one thing about the return. All of a sudden, a vicious murderous intent struck.

-Even if I kill you like this,

He got goosebumps with tension, but Payne said it clearly.

“A piece.”

Payne looked at Charlize.

“You are a piece of Ehyrit, aren’t you? Charlize Ronan.”

Charlize’s hand, who was about to grab the sword, stopped for a moment.

“That’s why you made the 13th Prince an Emperor to hide your identity.”

This was an unexpected story.

Charlize thought about it one more time.

‘An Ehyrit’s piece. Me.’

Wrong. Even looking at it once more, it was absolutely wrong. Charlize was dumbfounded. Her vigilance was colorless, so she was completely relieved.

The dark tension was broken. Charlize looked at Payne. She looked pretty confident.

“No, that’s not true.”

She doesn’t know why he guessed like that. A look of embarrassment appeared on Payne’s face.

Could it be because Charlize was so bluntly in denial?

It was a face that said, ‘This isn’t me?’. Payne spoke cautiously.

“Well, you’re a piece. Isn’t that why you’re like this?”

“No.”

“That can’t be true.”

Payne gibbered in confusion. Self-talks that deny the situation. But as if he had realized it soon, he asked. A wise light flashed in his eyes.

“Yeah, I see. You, didn’t you understand what Ehyrit’s piece meant?”

She knew from Payne’s words that it was different from the usual piece. His embarrassed face was somewhat funny, so Charlize decided to listen quietly because she needed to accept new information.

Payne, who misunderstood Charlize’s reaction as a positive one, said.

“The piece of Ehyrit is not the only thing you know. If you looked up about the evil God, you know it was the evil God who carved the Ehyrit, right?”

Even before she could say how he knew that, Payne explained it.

“Don’t get me wrong. The information about evil gods is only in the Imperial Palace’s forbidden library, but the people who hid the book there were the people of Alperier a few generations ago.”

Payne didn’t stop talking.

“Anyway, there’s a story after that. What happened to the fragmented Ehyrit? Have you ever thought about it?”

She thought about it. Of course, it wasn’t deep. The fragmented Ehyrit, well.

Payne said.

“Let me introduce our Alperier again at this point. We’re looking for the biggest, ‘real piece’ of Ehyrit.”

The real piece is unstained by the evil god’s evil, and is the purest and noble piece of Ehyrit.

“Its characteristic is that it appears once every few centuries and exerts its genius. What I mean is, Ehyrit’s real piece. Literally, he is good in all fields, and he had talents in all fields since he was born. There is nothing he does not know. Just notice it all. Show off his genius that can’t be hidden.”

Charlize looked at Payne.

“You don’t know why I am saying this? But because. The real piece of Ehyrit is.”

No wonder she felt numb.

“Born as a human being.”

Payne looked at Charlize seriously.

“That’s you. Charlize Ronan.”

As if shocked, Charlize remained still. No. In fact, she was thinking of someone. It didn’t even occur to her that it couldn’t be.

“I was sure when I saw your achievements.”

Charlize was an incredible genius. Not only swordsmanship, but also the ability to rule people, fascination, calculation, and insight that is ahead of the times. Everything was excellent and it was overly fast.

She was never seen as an ordinary person.

Putting the most nonexistent 13th Prince on the emperor’s throne. And Payne said his thoughts.

Ehyrit’s piece is the most perfect and worthy of a monarch.

And like a white drawing paper that is not stained by anything, it is easily stained by good and evil.

“I thought it was you.”

At Payne’s words, Charlize stiffened.

That Charlize knows best. In fact, Charlize already knew the answer.

‘Isn’t there only one person like that?’

Dylan.

***

Charlize returned to the bedroom.

It was the first time that the passage of time felt so fast. She quickly realized that five hours had passed.

It was late at night.

The man’s arm hugged Charlize’s waist.

“Master.”

Dylan’s half-asleep voice was low. His soft and refreshing smile was like a boy. The scent from him was very subtle.

On the same bed, Dylan whispered in her ear.

“I love you.”

And the end of the words ended with Charlize. A sweet confession.

Dylan had a tendency to fall asleep completely and deeply only next to Charlize. In fact, Charlize was the same.

Dylan finally came to believe in Charlize today. Maybe it was because she said everything that she didn’t fully reveal. He looked happy at the thought of reaching the end.

As always, Dylan was now completely defenseless in front of Charlize. He acted cute very soon.

However, Charlize was thinking of abandoning Dylan.

“I love you, Your Majesty.”

Dylan opened his eyes. He gently hugged Charlize. His body and her body were in close contact and intertwined. It’s warm.

Soon their breathing became rough from a passionate kiss. It was blatant, as if suggesting the act of being in bed at night.

When their lips fell apart.

Charlize’s eyes lit up strangely. With those eyes that had not yet awakened from the lingering imagery, Charlize looked at Dylan.

He looked happy.

A face that she couldn’t even imagine coming and going in Charlize’s head.

“Dylan.”

Dylan, who smiled briefly, left Charlize a light bird kiss on her lips again.

She thought as she looked into the blue eyes filled with affection as wide as the sea. The abyss was directed solely toward Charlize.

But that’s why.

‘I can’t kill you.’

Charlize thought. She can’t kill Dylan. No, to be exact.

She has to abandon him and leave so as not to kill him.

‘Because.’

Charlize’s eyes closed. It was decided later in the conversation with Payne. Charlize recalled what had just happened.

***

The real piece of Ehyrit is Dylan. But Charlize sympathized with Payne’s conversation as if she were the piece.

At first, she had an intuition that it had to be.

“Even if you say you are right, what is the purpose of recruiting me, the real piece?”

Charlize looked at Payne.

On the day of the rebellion, the moment when they had to deal with the shadow monster. Payne witnessed Charlize who was cutting even the monster.

That’s why Payne, who was even more certain, simply said.

“Because I have to protect you.”

“…”

“As long as the existence of the evil god Kiera is revealed, I must protect you.”

The first information that Payne bought was that Charlize was made of evil gods, not just a magic sword Kiera. A story that shook the essence of Charlize.

The second information is about the real piece of Ehyrit, Dylan. This shook Charlize herself.

And the last third information. Charlize realized that it would bring ruin. But she didn’t stop listening to this.

“The evil god Kiera, will kill you.”

No one knows the information about Dylan. Except for Charlize. No, there was Kahu.

However, there was no possibility that Kahu would contact Alperier.

To Charlize, who believes it to be a real sculpture of Ehyrit, said Payne.

“No one knows whether the evil god Kiera is succeeding or not. However, even a human who has absorbed an evil god, has a certain characteristic.”

That.

“It’s intent to murder.”

“Kiera, Kiera.”

“Magic sword made of intent to murder.”

A unique character that Charlize possessed. An unforgettable voice from 400 years ago passed through Charlize. Payne was talking about it.

“I may be able to suppress it at other times. But the evil God can never suppress the murderous intent towards Ehyrit.”

The human who became an evil god also kills Ehyrit.

Kill the real piece of Ehyrit.

That was the essence of murderous intent.

So it’s dangerous, Payne said in a genuinely concerned tone.

Charlize finally realized.

In Charlize’s eyes, she could see herself, who was still Kiera, with evil and murderous intents.

‘I…’

She’s not confident she won’t kill Dylan.

Because Charlize hated everything that made her ‘Kiera’, even Ehyrit. She hated even evil gods.

Dylan was the only member of the royal lineage to keep alive.

And the smell of blood that Gold mentioned.

If it was a being derived from Ehyrit’s shadow, it would feel like a heavenly good scent.

It was the only happiness she had ever found. The first clue to the light she found in her long life.

“Master.”

Dylan continued to call Charlize as if she were precious.

“I love you, Charlize.”

Dylan smiled as he brushed Charlize’s hair. Dylan put his lips on her forehead and left a kiss on Charlize’s eyes and nose. That dazzling smile made Charlize happy just to exist.

She looked cautious, but she just looked happy.

However, Charlize couldn’t stay with Dylan.

‘Then, I will abandon you.’

Charlize thought as she looked down at Dylan who had already fallen asleep again.

Dylan is the most perfect piece of Ehyrit. Even if Charlize leaves him, he will soon overcome it and become happy. He will continue to lead an intact and peaceful life as if he had always been.

‘Yeah. You will be happy.’

Charlize thought calmly.

Charlize thought she had read Dylan completely, but she wasn’t. His abyss deepened and had already turned black.

A possessiveness that has not yet been awakened, an obsession with coercion, and a thoroughness that binds the other with perfect genius.

Without knowing what was lurking under the calm beast. Only Charlize was indifferent.
