A name she heard after 3 years. Even a name she didn’t know she would hear with the magic tower.
Dylan, go into action.
That’s why Charlize held her breath.
She knew intuitively that something was wrong with Dylan. Otherwise, she was on the sidelines of the conflict between the magic tower and Alperier. Why did he suddenly intervene…
“The ceremony for the sponsorship of the magic tower and the imperial family will be held at the Sevir diamond mine the day after tomorrow.”
Time was running out.
Charlize tried to calculate. She also could not know the genius’s intentions.
Kiera disappeared, and Dylan prospered instead of destroying the empire like a true piece of Ehyrit.
There were several kings under Dylan. The emperor was the only Dylan.
“It is said that all the kings agreed. No one objected to Dylan I’s decision.”
It’s not that they don’t object to it. It must be something they couldn’t resist.
Of course, considering Dylan’s eloquent speech. He would have made the kings believe that they sincerely agree.
She couldn’t stop Dylan.
There is no place throughout the world to check the emperor who united the continents.
But Charlize realized at the same time.
‘It’s an opportunity.’
This is an opportunity.
Now that Dylan has gone out, the hidden magic tower will reveal itself.
The real leader of the magic tower, who didn’t even have a clue.
They said that imperial support is necessary for the Kiera project. Because it is a vast task that cannot be done without being sponsored by that huge amount of money.
One of them must come out.
As long as the emperor’s sponsorship is at stake. For this time, they also appear.
“What should we do, leader?”
The concern was short.
Her quick determination and ability to execute was one of Charlize’s many geniuses that Alperier always admired.
She couldn’t help it. Charlize eventually made a decision.
“We should go.”
Because Alperier was accustomed to Charlize’s rule.
Derian understood the word as an order to ‘prepare’, and bowed his head deeply.
The snake pattern under the ears was particularly noticeable.
Derian hurriedly retreated.
Soon after, outside the leader’s room, she heard his voice calling Alperier.
Despite his thorough obedience, Charlize did not give a glance.
‘Your Majesty, what are you thinking?’
She just, called Dylan after a long time.
The fact that the magic tower will receive support is… the wings are deficient.
From the moment there was support from the imperial family, it was clear that the tragedy that Charlize had so desperately wanted to prevent would intensify and happen.
For Charlize, who knew all the pain and suffering, had to stop it.
Also, if the leaders who were the source of the Kiera Project showed up, she would have to kill them. Deservedly. A great opportunity to dry the seeds.
The risks were high, but they needed to be dealt with.
The conclusion was the same even after reviewing it again.
Nevertheless, the ominousness was engulfed. From an unknown place, it felt like some kind of evil beast was coming down heavily. Something dyed black.
‘No, it’s too much.’
Charlize suddenly bit her lips, scattering her thoughts.
All she has to do is think not to miss this opportunity.
Since leaving the Empire, there has never been a single mistake in Charlize’s judgment.
***
Meanwhile, Dylan thought of Charlize.
He was almost insanely obsessed.
‘Charlize.’
Dylan repeated her name with his lips.
If her name was a belief that refers to the spiritual power believed to reside in words, she would have been called tens of thousands of times and Dylan would have already taken possession of Charlize’s soul.
‘Your freedom is over now.’
That was Dylan’s limit.
For the first two years, he didn’t move, believing that Charlize would come back. He doesn’t believe it now.
He found Charlize’s weakness only half a year after he decided to find out.
The purpose of Charlize is.
‘Revenge for the Empire.’
And the wizards hated Charlize too.
Dylan recalled the burned Kiera document.
In fact, he closed his eyes and ears pretending not to know, but he couldn’t not know. Dylan was a genius and was good at reading people’s emotions and hidden essences.
All of Charlize’s actions were for revenge. At the source, there is a deep-rooted hatred towards the imperial family and the magic tower.
There was only one thing he didn’t know.
The forbidden library.
It was a secret library of the imperial family that only the emperor could enter. But one day, he checked. Whether someone came in and read a book, the angle at which the book was placed was slightly different.
Because Dylan never forgets what he saw once, so he even recognized subtle differences.
Dylan didn’t stick it in.
“Did Master stop by this place 3 years ago?”
He asked Shadow, but no one answered.
But Dylan was also convinced of Shadow’s silence.
As Dylan knew, Charlize was the only one who could break through the strict border to enter the secret library and read without a trace.
He stretched out his hand.
The books that Charlize passed by tickled his fingertips strangely. He didn’t even want to suppress his desire for possessiveness that ran from the depths of his heart.
‘Why did you only read forbidden books related to Ehyrit?’
He doesn’t know why, but anyway, it was true that Charlize wanted revenge on things related to Kiera. As if…
‘As if Kiera had been completed.’
But even Dylan could not know the reason.
Dylan had seen Charlize up close for a long time, and investigated her most fiercely.
Charlize’s track record was clean. There was no reason for Charlize to be related to Kiera. But most of all, the document of the Kiera project.
‘The document that was left in the Emperor’s office.’
It burned without leaving any ashes. As soon as he opened the drawer, he recognized it by the subtle magical scent of fire.
It burned without leaving any ashes. As soon as he opened the drawer, he noticed the subtle smell of magic fire.
Charlize knew Dylan’s genius better than anyone else.
That Dylan never forgets a sentence he reads once.
<Ki-e-ra.>
Kiera.
<The Living Sword Project.>
So even more.
Charlize, who knew that Dylan memorized all the contents, had no reason to burn it. Now that she has done something carelessly in front of Dylan, it won’t make a difference whether she burns it or leaves it alone.
But why did she burn it?
‘Ahh.’
Dylan stopped thinking about going deeper.
‘It’s none of my business.’
Dylan laughed.
All he needed was Charlize.
He’s crazy because he couldn’t have her. If he has her, he’ll be happy. In fact, he didn’t care if he wasn’t happy. Because he’s already crazy. All he needs to do is own her.
It was only Charlize.
“Your Majesty, all preparations are complete. What else would you like to order?”
Soon, near the diamond mine.
The Shadow’s undercover group, directly under the Emperor, came to Dylan and gave a courtesy.
Dylan looked at V.
Shadow.
It was a name given by Charlize, and it was a group of masters who should have been raised by Charlize.
Now, they were the knights of fear and admiration that made their name known all over the world.
Shadow, which is said to have gathered only the elite from among the elite, and a country collapsed every time it appeared.
Dylan stared coldly at Shadow, who hid their energy the way Charlize taught them.
“…Don’t let your guard down. Don’t even dare to break it with your skills. You must catch the hostage.”
It was a dry voice with no emotion. It was hot enough.
“I will take the order.”
At Dylan’s words, Shadow bowed their heads. They soon turned back to the known portrait of Alperier.
Dylan was waiting.
May Charlize appear with Alperier.
‘Death Knight.’
The death knight who drove the magic tower into terror.
As soon as he heard it, he knew it was Charlize.
A sword with no characteristics. Because there is only one person who can be so perfect.
He could find out later why she ran away with Alperier. Right now, he had to catch Charlize.
‘I’ll own her.’
Dylan thought with cold eyes.
He will follow Charlize’s teachings. She told him to take it if he wants it by all means. It is said the disciple respects his teacher and will thoroughly inherit her perfect mind. Who would dare to blame him?
‘Didn’t you know what a thirsty beast would do to you if you tamed, taught him everything, and ran away?’
The tyrant was briefly cynical.
He knew that Charlize was afraid. Charlize’s fear, to be exact.
‘The collusion between the magic tower and the imperial family.’
In other words, it was a future where the magic tower would gain power and the imperial family would fall.
Perhaps enough to lose rationality. It must have sounded urgent to Charlize.
That was the reason why he deliberately set the date to be impatient. He shouldn’t have given l time to think.
So this was Dylan’s cover under thorough calculation from the beginning.
‘If you’re trapped.’
Even if Charlize’s soul gets hurt by removing the dangerous trap. Dylan liked whatever it was to own Charlize.
Although existence cannot be forced, he will force it.
So that she can’t run away again. He’ll bind her.
He will forcefully have her. That is Charlize’s teaching. It was the will of the tyrant.
***
Where did it start to mess up?
“Leader!”
“It’s a trap!”
“They’re Shadow, but why…!”
Shadow, the emperor’s knight, were all above Masters. Charlize couldn’t move. Because they were all raised with her own hands.
V and Hugo, who stopped Charlize, were saved from the slave market and given to Dylan. The knights who have been raised since childhood, trained, and made into masters.
All of the Alperiers were scattered.
An urgent look flowed through the air.
Charlize held her sword strongly.
Meanwhile, Charlize made eye contact with the emperor.
“Retreat.”
When she looked at Dylan, she only thought she had to run away.
Instinctively ordered, and moved immediately.
She can’t get caught. Only the sense of danger came into her head.
“Argh!”
“…Leader!”
But the diamond mine, which was designed perfectly, was already heavily guarded because of the specificity of the space.
It was not easy to overcome Shadow, who seemed to have been trained for several months to deal with all kinds of situations with determination.
Charlize was eventually surrounded.
If she wanted to run away, she could cut them off.
However, she can see the Alperiers kneel down one by one. Shadow’s sword was seen hanging around their necks. It became hazy.
Depending on what Charlize did. Alperier might have died.
With a gag in her mouth. She felt the gaze of Alperier, who was desperately chasing Charlize.
‘Since when did you give your heart to Alperier?’
Three years-
Before his thoughts continued, Dylan appeared over the surrounded Shadow.
Maybe his heart. It felt like it was going to explode.
If she was too bewildered, will the world stop and become calm?
To Charlize, who set the day in tension, Dylan approached her casually. Black hair that she couldn’t forget. But it is no longer fresh eyes, but filled with possessive eyes. Through the eyes of a stranger.
The whole world. It stopped.
“You haven’t changed, Charlize.”
“…”
“I knew you would be here.”
The man’s voice, which she had not heard for a long time, was so low that it made her think that it was originally this low.
It sounds like a cave and tickles her ears.
Charlize knew from the start that Dylan’s purpose was her.
The discussion of the magic tower was purely to provoke Charlize.
“Your, Majesty.”
She doesn’t think that simple pronunciation would be this difficult. She didn’t know.
“…I’m here to find you. Charlize Ronan.”
The moment she realized it, Dylan was already close. The sword in Charlize’s hand fell naturally.
Dylan’s breath reached the nape of her neck.
The nights, when their skin was mixed into one, flashed vividly in front of her eyes in an instant. Kissing, holding hands, and sharing the warmth of the most secret mucous membranes.
The night they watched fireworks together.
It was clearly refreshing and beautiful. As Dylan grasped the breath that Charlize breathed out badly, he whispered as if he were going to grind his teeth.
“To make you belong to me.”
Dylan. He laughed cruelly.
