Kahu was surprised. Instinctively, his body froze and couldnât move.
It wasnât 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.
âThis is?â
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.
Charlizeâs movement was quick. She struck the wood golemâs shoulder with her sword. Dozens of golems poured out soon, perhaps because they were hiding.
âThereâs a golem already?â
Golem is an artificial monster that appears only 100 years later.
Because itâs a magic tower that turns people into swords. Thereâs nothing they canât do.
The technology would still be insufficient.
But surely it will.
âIs it the butterfly effect caused by the suspension of the Keira project?â
The development of technology has been accelerated.
âOr, the technology was completed behind the scenes without the imperial familyâs knowledge.â
Charlizeâs 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 peopleâs malice.
âWhy do I feel so bad?â
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.
âItâs a golem, but itâs made by modifying a monster, so itâs the right behavior.â
ââŠAre you saying it was modified from the monster? How is that possible?â
Kahu expressed his doubts.
âBecause golems are made by rebuilding the pieces of monster-like chimeras.â
Charlize explained after defeating the wood golem with her sword, who was running at her.
âIt doesnât matter anyway.â
Charlize cut off the golemâs leg.
âWhen it was attacked in a joint on its knee, its strength disappears. The weakness is at the bottom.â
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 Charlizeâs atmosphere. Kahu panicked and drew his sword.
âIâve never heard of this monster. How did she know this?â
Does the Emperor know this? Is that why he sent Charlize?
No. If he knew, he wouldnât have sent Kahu and Charlize alone. He would have provided more troops. Thereâs something like this.
âBend down, Young Duke.â
Charlizeâs 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 Charlizeâs performance on the day of the rebellion from a distance.
âItâs a different experience to witness this close and personal with both eyes.â
This inhuman strength. Kahu felt strange.
Kahu recalled Charlize before returning.
âShe was a different young lady now.â
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.
âThe person who was like that now.â
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.
âItâs tough.â
The tree trunk was tougher than he imagined.
So no matter how hard he tried to cut it, it didnât cut well.
Charlize handled several golems in a row so easily. He thought it would be possible thoughtlessly, but not at all.
âYoung Duke, stick behind my back.â
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.
âThank you, Young Duke.â
Soon all the golems fell.
Charlizeâs eyes turned to the floor.
Kahuâs harsh breathing is heard up close.
âI wonder if Iâm bothering you.â
âNo, it was definitely helpful.â
Kahu did one personâs part.
Charlize raised her head.
When all the wood golems fell, dozens of stone golems appeared this time.
A monster that combines Ehyritâs pieces with solid monster bodies.
âIs the magic tower has already developed the technology so far?â
Itâs several times more difficult to deal with than the wood golem. Kahu, who unknowingly clenched his teeth, squeezed his sword.
Charlize said.
âMaybe I should step up.â
ââŠItâs dangerousâŠ!â
Kahu, who was trying to stop Charlize, inadvertently blurted out his words.
Charlize, who was in Kahuâs 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 Dukeâs princess is so lovely. Why doesnât Ronan recognize her?]
Behind Charlize, the voice of the gossiping high society. He remembered.
Thatâs 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. AndâŠ
âThe one whom I saw in rebellion.â
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.
âA sword that is close to perfection.â
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 Charlizeâs skill had to be the goal.
âIâve never seen you like this before.â
When Charlize decided, it didnât 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.
ââŠâ
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.
âPlease keep it a secret.â
It was then that Kahu realized she was truly different.
She wasnât 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.
âSeeing that a lot of monsters were released, it seems that the young duke was very afraid.â
âYes, definitelyâŠâ
Kahuâs 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.
âWell, you ought to be. We have to do our best to track it down from here.â
Charlize set out first.
Kahu stood quietly for a while, and soon followed Charlize.
From the beginning, Kahuâs mission was to help Charlize.
***
âIn order to make the Duke of Delmon a dedicated person of His Majesty.â
Emperor Dylan,
The nobles with their knees down under him confessed with a serious attitude.
âYou have to marry the young duke to the grandmaster.â
Dylanâs expression was calm. In response to the tactless noblemanâs remarks, those next to him also agreed.
âIsnât there not yet a firm dedication that the Duke of Delmon supports His Majesty? At a time when heâs even given a heavy-duty of being the imperial knight commander.â
âYes. Now is the opportunity for them to work together.â
âAs they work, their relationship will naturally get closer, and on top of that, isnât t the grandmaster has already had a marriage offer from the young duke once?â
Dylan said nothing. The nobles continued to speak.
âThe grandmaster is on His Majestyâs 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.â
âThere can be no clearer way to lay the groundwork for the Emperorâs faction than the marriage of the young duke and the grandmaster, Your Majesty.â
The nobles declared with loyalty. It was obviously a calm Dylan on the outside. But he had a cruel thought inside.
Dylanâs 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 itâs not the right time.
âAny other way?â
Dylan only said one sentence.
But with that. Everyoneâs mouth was shut.
âIt does take a little while. But thereâs a way to build a new Knight Academy to inspire loyalty to His Majesty from a young age.â
They were wary, then quickly moved on to another topic.
Thatâs the only way to live. It was an act close to instinct.
Dylanâs eyes subsided calmly.
âTheyâll be close to each other naturally as they work.â
How Charlize and Kahu are together. Just imagining it made his back cold.
When they get closer naturally. No, even if they get closer. Wouldnât it be farther than the relationship with himself?
âWeâve been together for years.â
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.
