The Tyrant Wants To Live Honestly

rt.

Did I give up easily? Episteme? Do you know how hard I studied to get in there?

Do you know how much I cried and protested the day Carnan ordered me not to go in?

There have been times when I secretly escaped to take a test, but was caught and locked up in the room again.

Until I give up on Episteme completely… How many had to be put, and how long did it take?

But what? give up easily? He who has everything easy can’t understand me.

“I have nothing more to say to you.
Get out, Ray.”

“Dorothea…”

“Get out!”

As I shouted sharply, Rey’s eyes lit up with a bewildered light and went around.

The nanny and the doctor next to me looked at me in surprise.

“I’m sorry, Dorothea… I didn’t mean to upset you.
I just want you to stay here and be with us.”

Rey bowed her head and apologized. 

The nanny and the doctor’s expressions then change to sympathy.

‘under…look at this I’m a bad bitch again.’

A good older brother who worries about his younger sister and a younger sister who is hysterically annoyed.

This is the relationship between the legitimate Crown Prince and the unjustified princess.

I really hope I can be so kind and pure at heart.

I bit my lip and didn’t say anything.

“I’ll just leave.”

Ray looked at me and quietly stood up.

As Rey left, the nanny approached.

“His Majesty Raymond did this because he was worried about the princess.”

I know.
I know!

Ray is good and I am bad.
It’s the truth everyone knows.
I didn’t want to hear the kind and kind nanny’s comfort, so I covered my head with the blanket.

I have a real reason to go.

* * *

In this respect, I was grateful for Cernan’s indifference.

Carnan threw it away as if it was up to me to go to recuperation or not.

Soon after a discussion with the nanny and some of the servants, my recuperation was decided.
I headed to the south palace, which occasionally serves as the summer vacation home of the imperial family.

“Welcome, Princess Dorothea.”

The manager of the detached palace welcomed me and opened the door.

A white stone building stood facing the emerald sea.

There was no Ray and no Carnan here.
There are no old memories buried in the Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Palace was not only the place where I was born and raised, but also the place where I killed Ray and where my love Theon died.

It was also where my people and servants came in and made me knelt wildly and marched to the square.

Looking back, I was amazed at how I had survived that nightmare until now.

I purposely didn’t go to places where bad memories remain…

‘I’m so glad I came here.’

The more I thought about it, the more satisfied I was, and I took a deep breath of fresh air.

I needed a place without old scars.

“My name is Clara, I will accompany the princess here.”

A woman in a white apron greeted me.

Clara was the first maid who came down from Lampas and was not originally in charge of me.

Even though she looked young, she seemed to have come to a corner of the country after being pushed out of the ranks.

“From now on, you will be staying in this room.”

They led me to a room with a terrace overlooking the sea.
It was a clean, sunny room.
A cool sea breeze blew in from the open terrace.

I was satisfied because the scenery was completely different from my room in the Imperial Palace.

While looking around the room, someone knocked on the door.

I turned around and saw a man big enough to fill the door.

“This is the knight Stefan Greenwall, who will be with the princess in the future.”

Clara introduced me to an escort knight who would be by my side while I was staying in the private palace.

Short black hair and dark skin.
Scars pass through the eye area. 

Overwhelmingly tall, with broad shoulders, and strong muscles.

“Stefan…!”

I almost pretended to know him.

My escort driver must be Stefan!

A person who will rise to the rank of deputy commander of the Knights of Brilliance, the best knights in the Empire.

He was one of the top five most talented people I’ve known in my entire life.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that if I was the emperor of the empire, it would be the whole world.

But I didn’t like him.

Because Stefan also died at my hands.

before returning.
My relationship with Stefan was not very deep.

At that time, I led the army to the islands and occupied the Imperial Palace at once.
And the last thing left is Raymond.

Stefan was a knight who stood guarding the last gate to Ray.

“Nice to meet you, Sir Stefan.”

I greeted him, wiping the blood-soaked sword.

I didn’t have a meeting with him.

I was interested in him because he was quite famous inside and outside the Knights, but Stefan was not the kind of person I could get along with.

The big height and tightly closed lips were the same then.

“The princess said hello, but you didn’t answer.
You still are not polite.”

“….”

“You’re arrogant.”

I didn’t like Stefan who was silent.

When I see Stefan who doesn’t answer, I think he doesn’t think that the princess’s words are worth listening to.

I remembered a lot of “silent things” that blocked me.

Instead of answering my words, Stefan took out a sword that was much longer than that of an ordinary man.
