It was an unexpected contact. Because Dylan always asked Charlize first, it was the first kiss on the back of her hand that he didnât ask for her permission.
Knowing this, Charlize did not avoid it. Because thatâs what a knight or a gentleman does to a Lady. She had never heard of the Emperor doing it to the Lady.
Charlize read that Dylanâs gaze was explicit.
Her heart was beating a little fast and then stopped beating.
âFeelings.â
Maybe itâs because she used to be a sword for a long time. Charlizeâs heart hardly moved. It was calm at any time, and it moved.
It was a minor and small change that even Dylan didnât notice. Only Charlize knows.
âEverything will be done according to Masterâs will.â
What did Dylan say, thatâs right.
âHe was talking about the reason why the wizards of the magic tower came.â
Charlize looked at Dylan. As if she couldnât read Dylan properly. Maybe even Dylan couldnât read her well either.
Because he didnât realize that Kiera was Charlize yet. But the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. Why?
âThere are too many clues.â
But she suppressed her anxiety.
The fact that this world has been turned back once. No one would ever imagine. If it wasnât for Kahu who leaked clues, he would have been convinced until the end.
âAs expected, I should have killed Kahu.â
But in the end, she didnât kill him. This thought was pointless.
âI heard that the children are well trained with the sword Your Majesty donated to the orphanage.â
Charlize lowered her eyes.
âThey said it was the most delightful, practical gift. Thank you for caring.â
Dylan, who was looking at Charlize, replied slowly.
âItâs been a long time since Iâve seen what Master wants.â
Of course, she wanted the Empire to be destroyed. But that was already 5 years ago.
Since then, Charlize has been moving consistently, and essentially saw that the founding of the orphanage was the first thing that she did voluntarily.
There was never, in fact, never a time when her desired object itself was Dylan.
Charlize looks at Dylan, but itâs only Dylan who really âlooks likeâ her opponent.
âIs that so, Your Majesty?â
Charlize calmly put her hand away. It was actually a lie that wizards were targeting slaves, so it was a little uncomfortable to make eye contact with him.
Charlize changed the subject.
âWhereâs the next place after the Seruna Empire?â
ââŚThe Risia Empire.â
âWhy?â
Charlize looked up at Dylan because she was amazed at how he instinctively judged the situation best and made an efficient route. Because if Seruna collapses, the place where they can rule the fastest is the Risia Empire.
Before the regression, the emperors tried to destroy Risia first, but in the end, it was difficult to conquer both. But Dylan knew the shortest route.
Dylan said exactly what Charlize thought.
âI once wondered where the funds supporting the political forces of the Risia Empire came from. Surprisingly, it was Serunaâs ruling power. Seruna is wrapped up as a rival of the century with Risia, but in reality there is a close connection between the two countries. In each overall field of society.â
ââŚâ
âThe two countries are divided by borders, but in the end, they can be regarded as a country with the same ruling power. If Seruna collapses, some of the ruling forces will surely flee to Risia and aim for the future, but if we hit Risia right away, we can easily destroy an empty house.â
âItâs amazing, Your Majesty.â
Charlize was a little impressed.
No, it was actually incredible.
âItâs just as Your Majesty said. Itâs wonderful.â
The moment he shows his talent like this, Charlize is colored with the purest admiration in her eyes. That was the motivation that fueled Dylanâs enthusiasm for learning.
But does Charlize know this?
In fact, Dylan had thought a lot about what would be the best way to get Charlizeâs attention. Of course, he couldnât fully reveal his feelings, so only that Charlize wouldnât notice.
For example, being sick.
[I will drink poison and have you.]
Like the chorus of the song he often sang with Charlize. If Dylan falls down after eating poison, maybe heâll get Charlizeâs attention. He thought.
So, looking down at the poisoned glass, he thought seriously about yesterday.
âIn the end, I used magic to get rid of the glass.â
Or.
Pretending to be tired.
Heâs not tired at all, but letâs say he wants to lean on her shoulder. Itâs true that he has been through a lot, so he thinks sheâll let him at least for a moment. He thought.
Actually, there were many opportunities.
If he buries his lips in the back of her neck and inhales her scent.
Like a piano class where they have to sit together. It was enough to settle the mood naturally while playing the slow tune of the piano.
âSheâs a teacher who looks at me when I pretend to be weak.â
He was thinking about making up a lie like that.
However, not all were put into practice.
âYeah, itâs right to just say it calmly.â
âI like you, Master.â
Dylan confessed.
There were yellow roses in full bloom in the garden outside the window.
Of course, Charlize simply replied that she liked Kahu.
But, at this moment, he thought Charlize would recognize it with his eyes and words like this.
But Charlize didnât notice.
No, sheâs pretending not to know.
âOr are you really not putting a chance on it?â
Either way, it hurts.
âYes, me too. Your Majesty, by the way. I feel it every time I see it, but a rose is always beautiful, isnât it?â
ââŚâ
âWould you like to walk with me?â
Dylan is⌠At this moment, Charlize was terribly indifferent.
However, he looked at Charlize with an open mind.
And nodded his head.
***
There were fairies in the flowers.
In fact, it was also the reason why Charlize was distracted during the conversation with Dylan.
âI havenât seen them since that night.â
<I canât tell you now that Dietrich is broken to pieces.>
Sure enough, as soon as she came out into the garden. The fairies are gone. They had sprinkled the powder of dreams. Because they were the ones who made her see Dylan reaching out to Kiera.
Charlize narrowed her eyebrows for a moment.
âHow were the wizards?â
Dylan took Charlizeâs attention.
Charlize replied, trying to hide her nervousness.
âI felt it was âdifferentâ.â
âWhat was different?â
âEverything⌠The mana used by the sword-wielding man and the mana of the wizards has a slightly âdifferentâ energy. Of course, wise men claim that the essence is the same, butâŚâ
It was a sudden utterance, but Dylan was listening a little attentively.
Charlize averted her gaze even from the flower where the fairies had disappeared.
âI also agree with what Master said.â
Dylan agreed.
Charlize said.
âThey are rare and little known. They are closed and their pride is quite high. They may feel alienated in that they reject outsiders.â
Charlize did not mix emotions, but talked as if she were delivering only the most objective facts.
The moment she mixed her emotions, it was obvious that her deep murderous intent was revealed.
Except for the unusual case of Payne, the wizard was usually a member of the Magic Tower.
She lowered her gaze to hide her eyes.
âHow was your cooperation with the young duke?â
âWell. We get along well, of course, there were parts that we didnât get along well. At least he helps a lot when we have to use a sword together.â
âIf itâs the part that didnât get along wellâŚâ
Charlize, who was answering without hesitation, was silent for a moment.
At least to Dylan, itâs a fact that can never be revealed.
Since Kahu has also returned, canât it be said that itâs embarrassing?
Charlize looked up.
âDidnât I adapt to Your Majesty too? In fact, unless itâs your Majesty, I canât help feeling that I donât get along well with anyone.â
It was a moderate excuse to avoid answering, but Dylan seemed more satisfied than she thought.
For a moment he paused and looked at Charlize.
The garden was spacious.
âYouâre not wrong.â
At least Dylan was convinced of one thing.
No matter who Charlize meets in the future, she will never meet a genius more than Dylan.
Of course, it was the same for Dylan.
âShadow reported that there was nothing special about the movements of the wizards, Master.â
ââŚI see.â
Charlize knows that the Shadow is secretly chasing after her and reporting on her every move, but since Charlize is in charge of the wizards. She didnât know that he would say this publicly.
As expected, itâs not complete trust.
Still, Charlize was a bit unexpected, so when she looked up at Dylan, she said calmly.
âI think the place they stayed was where slaves were around.â
Charlize took care of her facial expressions.
She knew Dylan well.
He knows 200 even if he reads one, and he never forgets even if he looks at it once.
When he hears the 10,000 things that the underworld pursued, he remembers them all.
âBy looking at their paths, a clear purpose is read.â
ââŚWhatâs the purpose?â
Even the trivial expressions, clues, tone, and word choice are not missed. It all develops into logic, and in the end, heâs the best person to see through one exact essence.
So Charlize held her breath.
Dylan stopped. He answered firmly.
âTheyâre there to make sure something has been properly disposed of.â
She shouldnât show any gaps.
With only that thought, Charlize asked.
âIf itâs disposal, what kind of project are they trying to identify?â
âAs far as I remember, there were only 34 projects that were completely incinerated. For example, a project to create a half-human half-horse, a project to create this race.â
ââŚâ
Dylan stared at Charlize.
Suddenly, Charlize thought her ears were tingling.
She tried to suppress the slight trembling of her lips.
Like her heart, it didnât go well.
âTheyâre cruel, arrogant.â
âMaster.â
Dylanâs eyes were as blue as the sea.
The vast nature is always honest, but it is as passionate as the waves never stop.
âI think thereâs a reason why Master didnât tell me the purpose of the wizards.â
â¡¡¡â
âYou have seen it as a lie.â
Dylanâs eyes were blind as if Charlize was only saying that she was right. Still, her fingertips trembled. But contrary to Charlizeâs worries, Dylan was surprised to see her aloof and calm.
âI canât read her.â
Charlize is the highest of the transcendents, so he couldnât read her.
In a world that Dylan didnât know, just as humans couldnât read the thoughts of things, humans just couldnât grasp the magic sword.
Dylan approached Charlize.
âWhile talking to Master, I was wondering. May I ask you a question?â
Charlize once tried to bring down the question to Dylan.
So the answer was decided.
But if she could do what she really wanted, she would have refused.
âOf course, Your Majesty.â
Dylan looked at Charlize.
âIt was also found within the Imperial Palace.â
Other than that, he didnât pay much attention to it because he saw traces of making numerous weapons or artificial swordmasters.

However, it was strange because the underworld and the wizard were also intertwined.
