Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 33 – REPLIED WITH BITTERNESS
“Leon, stop your insolent attitude immediately!”
Seeing Leon's welcome to Helios with a dangerous fire magic attack, Tius immediately denounced his actions, while Albert did not lower his gaze to the haughty prince.
Leon who saw the threatening gaze of Albert was stepping forward before Albert as if deliberately challenging Albert's patience.
“Hey, Big Brother Trash, take a look at this imperial dog you have picked up. You should teach your dog well so as not to bite carelessly and can distinguish which someone can and cannot disturb him.”
While saying that, Leon also raised his hand to slap Albert.
But nevertheless, the,
“Swuuuush.”
Before Leon's hand reaches Albert, Helios's ice magic immediately freezes Leon's hand so that it is unable to move.
“Hey, Big Brother Trash, what does all this mean?!”
“Leon, relax. I personally apologize to you if what my men did made you uncomfortable. But isn't your attitude also a bit outrageous to your own brother? Long time no see, my sister.”
Helios stretched out his hand to Leon to shake his hand. However, Leon immediately rejected the hand.
“Cih, no need to show that meaningless friendly attitude to me!”
But Helios forcefully reached Leon's hand and shook it himself.
“Hey, what are you doing?!”
“Well, well, my sweet sister, don't have to go up in blood like that. Let's get along with each other. Mumpung we all gathered here.”
It seems that Leon no longer rebelled and resigned to be brought by Helios joined in the reunion of the four brothers.

After a break of rest, I decided to leave the palace for a moment. I'd like to see my fiancee back soon after we've been apart for so long. Me, Albert, and Yasmin then left the palace heading to the capital square in disguise.
In a corner of the capital, that's where I made an appointment to meet Talia, that's how I called my fiance's name. Then, after some time walking, there appeared a figure of a horse-drawn carriage that seemed to hide the emblem of his family and disguised as an ordinary merchant horse-drawn carriage.
A woman peeked out from the window of the horse-drawn carriage. His silver hair with a seductive white face charm instantly made my heart beat tight. Italiana Rosse Growmyerre aka Talia, my beloved fiancee.
My heart was instantly wild when I was in front of Talia.
“Mas Lou, come.”
Her voice was soft and her breath was fragrant, truly enchanting me like Talia was an angel who had just descended from heaven. Ah, just a reference, Lou is Talia's affectionate call to me as I also call my dear woman Talia.
“Talia.”
I also answered that gentle call. Then I looked at Yasmin and Albert.
“Yasmin, Albert, you guys please play around this capital square while I chat with Talia.”
I said to the two guardians of my trust while giving them a stack of bags containing 30 gold coins.
I then boarded the horse-drawn carriage which carried Talia and left Albert and Yasmin behind.
I as a male party certainly must immediately take the initiative to open the conversation.
Without thinking, I also created an ice flower from the water vapor around and then I presented it to Talia.
However, I ran out of words and instead just gave the flower away without the slightest warm words.
Unexpectedly, Talia who received the flower actually began to laugh and the awkward atmosphere ended.
“Mas Lou as always, you are always awkward about things like this. However, it is precisely this innocence of Mas Lou that makes me fall more and more in love with you, Mas.”
Saying that, Talia looked directly at my eyes with her gentle smile. Her glittering golden eyes added to Talia's beauty charm.
“Talia.” As if hypnotized, my gaze could not be distracted even a little by that beautiful face.
Talia then stroked my cheek which instantly gave me an indescribable calm with words. He also returned, saying,
“Face of Mas Lou full of permanent. Must have been a lot of things going on there. Can Mas Lou share that burden with me a little bit by telling me? Although maybe I won't be much help, at least by listening to Mas Lou's complaints, it will be able to ease Mas Lou's burden while I might also be able to give some advice.”
Words full of sincerity without feeling the slightest evil intention in it then immediately melt my heart. As if receiving an oasis, I let go of the fatigue in my heart by telling Talia. Uniquely, as long as I told Talia, the pain that had been weighing on my heart all this time slowly began to disappear.
“This is not Mas Lou's fault. Certainly the soldiers who died on the battlefield also felt happy because they were able to protect their homeland and family from the threat of monsters. Moreover, it was an extremely dangerous monster that could devastate an entire continent. They must be happy, even if they have to sacrifice their lives, they have been instrumental in eradicating such a very dangerous monster.”
I knew those were just empty words just like I used to encourage Alice. However, hearing the consolation coming from my loved ones, nothing can describe the pleasure in my heart right now.
Only by being able to understand me and appreciate my sacrifice would it be enough to let go of all the fatigue in my heart thinking that there are still people who give me affection.
I have said before that why my mind has stayed sane without being consumed by despair even after I lost the love of all my family about the prophecy of the tyrant, he said, it was because of the mental support that came from two people that was very valuable to me. One of them was Albert. Then, someone else, none other than my own fiancee, Talia.
Those two people who have been supporting me mentally so that I can still endure receiving slurs about the prophecy until now. How grateful I am to have both of them by my side.

In the capital's square, that, Yasmin who had just first felt the beauty of the capital was unceasingly wandering around and spending the money that Helios gave them with a variety of appetizing foods and sometimes beautiful white accessories.
He walked and kept walking.
However, even as insensitive as Yasmin was, she was finally able to realize how the people around her were treating her and Albert.
“Hey, isn't that the tyrant prince's bodyguard?”
“Then, that suspicious woman also had a relationship with that tyrant? Is he perhaps the witch also foretold by the holy temple as the tyrant's accomplice?”
“Huss, you better not get involved with them. Just take your eyes off them as if they don't exist.”
Hearing the whispers of insults that blasphemed Helios, Yasmin seemed to soon lose her temper. However, Albert who was by his side who had been used to receiving such treatment, immediately tried to calm Yasmin down.
“Relax, Yasmin. You will only make things worse if you react negatively to their speech. It will further hurt our Master's position in the public eye. Master can be increasingly hated by citizens if you are wrong in acting.”
“But..”.
“Tenace. This is common. If you are going to act as Master's bodyguard from now on, you should get used to this kind of humiliation.”
Thus, Yasmin finally just muted her anger in despair. In the depths of his heart, how sad he was, even after the great sacrifice that his master, Helios, made for the sake of the kingdom, this was the reward that his master had to receive from the citizens of his kingdom.
