Our Tyrant Became Young - Chapter 2
Views: 0
Persilion was clearly a handsome man as portrayed in the novel.
But his little version was really fatally cute.
“You don’t know?”
And in another sense, it was deadly.
Persilion pointed at me with his small hand and commanded, and the knight standing next to him immediately pulled the sword out of his sword.
I shouted, inhaling my breath.
“Oh, no, no, no!”
“No?”
“I’ll figure out right now how to get rid of Your Majesty’s curse! Just give me some time!”
At my urgent cry, Persilion stopped the guard and reached out one hand.
I was puzzled as to why he lifted his fingers and soon found signing the number five.
Oh, you mean time?
As soon as I thought, “Five weeks? Five days? Five hours?” Persillion folded his thumb
Five seconds!
“Wait, wait, wait, wait!”
In the meantime, it was reduced to three. I screamed and uttered words right away.
When a human being is in danger, their instinct to survive is maximized, and their unexpected wit spills out.
“You have to stay with me!”
“……What?”
“I can’t figure out exactly what the terrible accident happened to your Majesty right now, but it’s probably a curse! I can tell with the power of my prophecy is what it truly is but I can only find the clues of the curse only when I’m next to you!”
“Curse… How did you know it was a curse?”
Persilion’s eyes narrowed when I tried calling it a curse, but fortunately it truly seemed to be a curse so he has no reason to believe I’m lying.
He recognized it in his own way and listened to my story, whether he had concluded that it was a curse or not, and I emphasized in front of him why I had to “live” next to him.
“There is a very devious group of men who seek you!”
“…..The recent movement of the aristocracy faction is suspicious, Your Majesty.”
Just in time, the guard next to me gave me strength. Although he was a determined man who didn’t even respond to my elegant full name a little while ago, he continued to talk rather bluntly, raising my respect for him.
“You have to stay with me until you finally can break the curse from the wicked crowd. It takes days, so the exact duration is unknown, but you have to keep me alive. The harder it is to solve, the nearer the solution is. Only by looking I can find the answer!”
There was still a subtle suspicion on his face, but at the same time, he was curious about how I know even the conversation they had.
“You know the scene as clearly as you’ve seen it.”
“Yes, indeed, most of my prophecies are from the scenes that pops into my head!”
Persilion smiled lightly at my words. Looking at that smile, I was confident that I would survive. If you won’t let me survive hen what’s the reason of laughing like that?!
As my expression grew more and more filled with joy, he called me.
“……Yes, yes! Your Majesty’s solution is here!”
“Then what do you see in the future when you survive and I return to my original self?”
“That’s, uh, not yet….”
“Not yet?”
“I can’t see anything about it just yet. It’s all Black”
Persilion grinned. “If you take a long time to see the scene, your future will also turn Black.”1
“First, I plan to inform the public that your Majesty has gone on vacation. That’s how we’re buy time to find things.”
All of a sudden, I was forced to do the Imperial Palace Treasure Hunt quest.
The reward for success is life, and the penalty for failure is life.
