The border was placed between them. 

Still, Charlize and Dylan were facing each other. 

Charlize also eventually got off the beast. 

She looks at Dylan with both feet on the ground.

“In the end, I can’t force you to come.”

“…”

“Wasn’t it me who couldn’t finish what Master didn’t want?”

Those respectful words.

It’s too much of Dylan and it’s not like him either.

Charlize’s attitude was not completely softened, but she was now inclined to listen to Dylan’s conversation.  

Charlize let out a slow breath.  

Dylan asked her to talk for five minutes.

‘Five minutes have already passed.’

But Charlize did not turn back.

She answered Dylan.

“Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Empire.”

“…Yes. And you have forgiven me, the blood of the imperial family.”

Dylan, who describes it as forgiveness, Charlize was quite surprised.

But it’s not wrong either.  

All the royal family members, including the late emperor Dietrich, except Dylan, were dead.

Dylan was the only one left alive. 

It was true to say that he was still alive. 

“You just didn’t tell me why you left me.” 

She could see Shadow trying to join from far away. 

Before they knew it, even Shadow reached near the border. 

Alperier was stepping back after hearing Charlize’s order not to intervene in the conversation, but was wary with a stiff body. 

It was because of their memories engraved on their skin. 

The time when the Shadow forced them to kneel and lock them in prison cannot be forgotten.

‘Leader.’  

Alperier’s gaze turned to Charlize.

Right before leaving the imperial palace, Alperier was captured as Charlize’s hostage and monitored by Shadow.

However, Charlize did not care about Alperier’s worries. Anyway, she was determined to cut off the Shadow and leave this time.

If she is surrounded again, she will raise her sword this time.  

Just Dylan’s words knocked on Charlize’s heart.

“Because you’re Kiera, there are still too many empty parts to explain the reason why you left, Master.”

Charlize was shocked by Dylan, who accurately pointed out the essence. 

But what was even more shocked by the word Kiera was the members. Alperier, a victim of the Kiera Project for many years, had lived to get revenge on the magic tower. 

“That’s impossible…!” 

Payne, who couldn’t stand it, opened his mouth.

Only Payne, who knew Charlize as a real piece of Ehyrit, wanted to be involved right away.

But Charlize looked at Payne and shook her head.

Payne’s mouth was shut, but he still looked dissatisfied.

Charlize looked at Dylan again.

And this time too.  

“That’s right.”

She did not deny it.

“What? Charlize, but you…”

“He’s not wrong, Payne. I’m Kiera, the evil god you know.”  

Payne’s attempts to mediate the situation were in vain.

Because Charlize didn’t deny it, she revealed everything directly.  

Payne opened his eyes in disbelief. 

It wasn’t just Payne. All of Alperier’s faces were dyed with astonishment. They thought they heard it wrong for a moment, but it was real. 

She wasn’t even joking.

Charlize doesn’t joke around.

‘Evil god, Kiera?’

The Rapine clan, who somehow got caught up in the situation and overheard the conversation, was also in shock.

As a clan looking for God, they knew well about God.

But only two people.

Only Charlize and Dylan, who did not take their eyes off each other, calmly accepted the situation.

“…I see, the evil god Kiera.” 

Dylan was convinced by Charlize’s words.

Soon after, the Shadow was fully joined.

The situation in the Imperial Palace was settled. The unfaithful rebellion was soon suppressed, and Ronan was all captured. Of course, Shadow didn’t kill anyone in Ronan.

Even though Charlize wants them to be expelled, Ronan was Charlize’s family. Still, because it was Charlize’s bloodline, he didn’t know what to do with them, so Dylan ordered to keep them alive unconditionally.

Behind Dylan who was standing, the Shadows lined up one after another.

Rapine grabbed the reins of the beast while panicking. Alperier’s corps commanders were also masters, but only seven of them. In terms of power, Charlize seemed to be far inferior.  

Of course, even with just one Charlize, any group would be destroyed. 

The shocking atmosphere was still sharply standing. Even if someone thought the world would end like this, it would sound appropriate. 

“I don’t mind if you kill me.”

Because the words were close to the essence of Charlize, Charlize looked at Dylan. 

Dylan’s expression was somewhat strange.  

He seemed to beat the hardened Charlize’s heart. He seems to awaken her closed mind.

‘You look sad.’

She did not live conscious that her heart was hardened. But Dylan had just softened Charlize’s heart.

He made Charlize aware of the indifferent and cold world she lived in.

For a moment, the world touched by Dylan’s words was strange. 

It was different from Charlize’s. Warm, dreamy, and human. 

Is he just sad? 

The intense love he has for herself, the obsession he will never give up, and the possessiveness underlying his eyes.

“I like you not because you’re Kiera, but because you’re Charlize Ronan.” 

It’s still clear.

At that moment, enlightenment struck like lightning. 

Dylan was a man. Of course, she always knew, but it felt different from that. He’s just a man. 

Even expressing that he was handsome was probably not enough. To explain the charm that keeps strangely attracting attention.

He is a man who will always shine with his presence unless Dylan decides and erases his presence.

Such a man’s blue eyes directed only to Charlize.

“It’s okay if you’re Kiera, you can kill me, I love you even if I’m dyed black and I’m ruined in the end.”  

Why does the love you say always sound greater than my love?

Why does love that can be put in anyone’s mouth sound so noble when it only flows out of your mouth?

Why me? How about me? To that extent. 

The first time she approached him was just because of revenge. You know it, right? 

“Charlize.”

Dylan lowered his weapon. 

The sad expression of a pet dog that lost its owner, as if it had given up on everything, fell to the floor.  

“Didn’t you use me from the beginning?”

His voice was sweet and bitter at the same time.

“I don’t care if I keep being used. Please use me by my side, Master.” 

He knows. 

That he would be willing to be used for her. 

“If you ask me to unify the continents, I will. If you tell me to starve to death, I will do it. If Master tells me to become a prostitute, I can do it too.”

Charlize felt a chill in the sense of deja vu.

“Don’t you know, Master?” 

Because it was the same as what Charlize thought while watching Dylan in the past. 

He’s like pure white drawing paper.  

‘I thought about it.’  

No matter what kind of paint you paint, the color stays there. If you look at the paint, you will notice that there is such a paint even if it doesn’t get colored right away.

Dylan, who grew up thinking he was an infinite genius, looks at Charlize. 

“I didn’t teach love.”

“Your existence itself is love to me.”  

Dylan responded firmly to the words that came out a little distant. 

He could have said something that tickled, touched, and numb like that so innocently.  

Yeah. She’s getting numb. 

Her heart thumped.

It was Kiera, the evil god. 

Charlize was a human being. No, to realize yourself as a human being.

“From the moment we first met, my time had already stopped. Everything had already been decided.”  

“…” 

“How do you leave me if Master is my everything? If you want to take all of me, please take my life.”  

Why don’t you break me down?

Why do you make me feel human emotions when I want to be thoroughly rational?

With an unconscious thought, Charlize clenched her fist. 

Maybe she said she was leaving for Dylan, but she was just trying to run away. 

Because she was so flustered by this feeling. 

She felt overwhelmed by him who risked everything on her and bumped into her. Unconditional warmth. A comfort that will never be betrayed.

It was just a dazzling light, so she rather cut it off with her own hands.

He wasn’t worried if his light would be colored by her.

“No?” 

She didn’t know what to do because of the feelings she felt for him. 

“Why not?” 

Tears flowed from Dylan’s eyes. 

It was definitely tears. 

At that sight, Charlize became distant.

It felt like she saw his face for the first time. Charlize was the first to be shocked that Dylan could cry. He looks calm at first glance. 

His gaze of desperately pleading, clinging, and blindly chasing Charlize.

“…Your Majesty.” 

All she could do was call him. 

Dylan wasn’t sobbing, his breathing wasn’t ragged, he just seemed to be quiet. 

Charlize felt the urge to reach out his hand.

She wanted to wipe away his tears. 

He once was a boy. Even in the face of the death of the 7th concubine, the 13th prince resolutely did not show any tears. 

Dylan said to Charlize, as if to engrave it. 

“…Are you afraid of my death?”

“…”

“I will not die, Master. I will find a way.”

Whether she’s Kiera or the magic sword, her essence is human and Charlize Ronan.

Dylan said. 

He loves her the way she is. 

What she probably wanted to hear the most. That’s why Charlize couldn’t say anything.

“The magic tower is targeting me, so why not cooperate with me until Master strikes the tower?”

“…”

Charlize couldn’t refuse in front of Dylan’s compromise.

He’s saying it like this. 

And Dylan surprisingly. 

He let go of all his weapons. When the emperor showed an example first, Shadows also put down their weapons at once. 

“I won’t be obsessed. I won’t own you. I’ll do it as you want. I will also support Alperier with all my might. If Master’s purpose is to destroy the magic tower, I will help you to achieve it thoroughly.” 

Dylan said, rolling up his sleeve, exposing one of his wrists.

It was a covenant using mana. The price was Dylan’s vitality. 

“I swear.” 

A pattern appears on Dylan’s wrist, completing it. Breaking the covenant will kill Dylan.  

Charlize knew that Dylan’s words were true as long as he risked his life. Dylan’s blue eyes were looking straight at Charlize.

“As long as I risk my life, I will keep this oath and I will add that I will not touch Charlize and Alperier.”

Tears fell sadly from Dylan’s blue eyes and wet his eyelashes.

“Shouldn’t… Shouldn’t this be okay?”

Dylan risked his life. Charlize was so shaken.

And this oath was really too absolute to be broken. 

Dylan was completely at a disadvantage. On the contrary, even if Charlize and Alperier tried to assassinate Dylan, Dylan couldn’t do anything. 

Even Dylan’s sword Shadow cannot be used as a threat to Charlize and Alperier. 

Even Dylan’s sword, the Shadow, cannot be used as a threat to Charlize and Alperier.

“…Leader.”  

Alperiers judged rationally. As long as there was a leash called an oath, they judged that it was not a bad tool. 

If it was the pursuit of the magic tower, the emperor who united the entire continent was helpful. They whispered low to Charlize.

After a while, Charlize opened her mouth heavy and slow.  

“If you can’t keep your oath, Your Majesty will die.”

It was a half-acceptance answer.

A relationship that has entered a new phase. They were holding hands until the magic tower was destroyed.

“Ah.”

Dylan’s face gradually unfolded as if he was happy and disbelieved. 

Laughter permeates beyond transparent tears. 

But actually Dylan. 

‘If I can have her like this, I will at least do it like this.’

He was thinking completely different from the expression on his face.

At first glance, his bright eyes seemed refreshing, but the inside was dry. 

The tyrant didn’t learn how to break his already stimulated possessiveness. 

Dylan reached out. Charlize approached him slowly. He was thrilled at Charlize’s warmth, which was so soft and warm. 

But only a friendly smile on the outside.

‘If you are weak against softness.’

The tyrant was just still crazy. 

Dylan hid the scheme in his smile. 

A blade-like knife. But the one who noticed Dylan.

There was no one. 

‘You’re mine.’
