I'll Become the Tyrant's Tutor Chapter 5

──────⊱◈◈◈⊰──────

“My, my, look at me. It's not the right time to be doing this right now.”

Marian, who looked as if she were reminiscing about the past, was awakened by the ringing bells of the clock tower.

She laughed as if she were talking nonsense. Then, she hurried and exited the Prince's room after changing the bed sheet.

‘His smile.'

Prim mumbled silently.

It was her, who stole his smile.

Prim flopped down onto her seat as she glanced at the window. The winter's sunshine felt very warm.

‘… I want to help you smile.'

Prim slowly closed her eyes after thinking for so long.

***

“Prim!”

As someone shouted Prim's name, she opened her eyes that were just closed a moment ago.

After blinking for several times, the blurred vision slowly returned. She seemed to have fallen asleep without realizing it.

At first glance, the light outside the window was already dimmed as if the sunset had already passed.

“Why are you sleeping here?”

It was Marianne who came into Reynsis's room again. She approached Prim with a surprised look on her face.

“Oh, I fell asleep.”

Prim smiled awkwardly as she rose from her seat.

“What about His Highness?”

Prim asked as her eyes were looking around the room. Then, Marian's eyes widened as if she was surprised.

“What? He hasn't come back yet?”

“Yes. I kinda fell asleep when the sun was almost set.”

“Oh my lord! This is a very big trouble,”

Marian stomped her foot. Prim could feel the concern of Marian through her sudden gesture.

“He only went out in the daytime. So, he didn't bring any lanterns!”

“Lanterns?”

Marian's face was so pale.

“When night comes, he doesn't see anything without light. You know, it's hard to distinguish colors at night.”

Marian was so worried as her voice became weakened.

The man, who only sees black and white. Then, he couldn't have wandered on the night alone.

The night was when the time took Reynsis's colourful world. So, he would never wander alone.

Suddenly, Prim felt uneasy as her heart felt tight.

‘Because you hate me, you went out there. If you're not coming back because of me, -‘

She had no time to think about anything else.

“I will go out and look for him.”

“Prim? Wait a minute!”

Prim hurriedly ran out from the room, not hearing Marian shouting her name.

Her thumping footsteps were as fast as her heartbeat. Prim though through where the place he might be.

From the library to the fountain, She couldn't look for him everywhere.

Prim bit her lips. Soon, it will be completely dark.

‘Where the hell did you go?'

Her mind grew more impatient. She had to find him as soon as possible. Prim ran around busily with the lantern.

“Prince Reynsis!”

She called his name out aloud. However, there was no sign of him.

‘This is all because of me'

There was a sense of guilty crept into her heart. He must have felt annoyed at her presence.

He wouldn't have gone out if she hadn't been chasing him around. She was the one who pushed Reynsis out.

‘And if I hadn't created this world, he wouldn't have feared the darkness.'

So she has to find him at all cost.

She didn't have time to stay still like this. There were many places she hadn't looked around yet.

Belles Palace was surrounded by woods. The back of the palace, where the forest is located, was sparsely populated.

‘Wait a minute'

An uneasy thought crept into her mind as her heart suddenly sank.

‘You're not in there, are you?'

Prim quickly went into the forest as she managed to light up her lantern with the matches that she brought.

“Prince Reynsis!”

No matter how many times she shouted, she couldn't hear any voice. It was hard to take a step forward because the branches of the tree kept getting caught in the hem of her clothes and hair.

It was not enough to walk through the darkness of the forest with lanterns. There was no moonlight. Prim was bound to get lost.

Anxiety swelled like the night sky. She took another step into the dark.

How long has it been? She could see some lanterns darting in the distance. She squinted her eyes to see the situation.

Platinum blonde hair, no doubt it was Prince Reynsis.

Prim walked a little closer as her heart was ready to feel relaxed.

But, her steps stopped. Reynsis wasn't alone.

Prim instinctively hid herself behind a large tree. The oil of the lanterns was cut into small pieces.

Reynsis was sitting there. A few men surround Reynsis and a man who looks like the boss was holding a lantern.

The orange blonde hair, he was smiling to show his madness.

The man was the 6th Prince of the Empire, Daphs.

Daphs was a prince favored by the Emperor. It was because he had the most beautiful appearance among the royal family.

But that changed when Reynsis was born.

The Emperor promised to hold the newborn Reynsis in his arms and give him the throne.

The brothers glanced at Daphs. That throne was a tribute to him until Reynsis was born. It was taken away by a newborn.

Daphs was furious. He's going to make sure that his half-brother who's been in his position kneels to him.

Then the Prophecy came. Before they could compete, Reynsis was exiled.

Nevertheless, Daphs's anger did not go down. Because Reynsis was still the most beautiful child of the Emperor.

Unable to resist the timing, Daphs led his hunting pack to the woods on his 19th birthday.

The word hunting was a good excuse for carrying a bow into the forest without any doubt.

In the dark forest, Reynsis quietly endured his half-brother's violence.

There was only one reason. It was because of Reynsis's mother, who told him to live quietly and overcome the prophecy as if he could see in the night.

Reynsis's silence made Daphs even more angrier.

After the long of bullying Reynsis, Daphs told one of the following knights.

“Hey, hit him.”

“…Pardon me, Your Highness?”

“Hit him and see if you suffer from eyes and hands like other painters.”

The person who was pointed hesitated. It wasn't because he couldn't hit the royal family, but he was afraid I'd lose my eyes and hands by the curse.

“You don't want to?”

But there was no breakthrough. In the end, between the master's command and the curse, he has to choose the Prince's command.

“Ouch! I couldn't see my eyes!!”

The knight showed off his acting skills with all his might.

“Hmmm.”

But Daphs wasn't satisfied. He doesn't like the act of his knights.

‘How painful it might be?'

It was because it was “acting.” Daphs pulled out a bow and stabbed his knight in the eye. The move was fast enough to make no sound and the knight won't have enough time to avoid it.

“Ahhh!”

The knight who was stabbed in the eye cried out in pain.

He couldn't see anything then fall in front of Reynsis.

“…….!”

A blind servant came into Reynsis's sight, he should have closed his eyes and turned his head.

But he couldn't lift a finger. Reynsis looked at the knight, frozen and wailing in pain. The blood of the Knight will be stamped in his mind.

“Poor thing. You lost your sight because of Reynsis's curse. I'd rather be so painful.”

Daphs whispered in a voice of great benevolence and pulled out his sword.

“It's your Master's duty to make you comfortable.”

When the blade reflected in the moonlight, the knight screamed of pain. Then the sound disappeared. It was as if the Dark Forest had eaten away at the scream.

“Brother, you are such an ugly creature.”

Daphs, who wiped the blood on his cheek, looked down at Reynsis.

Daphs smiled contentedly, as Reynsis gritted his teeth and glared at him. He bite it too hard and bleeds.

That night, Reynsis met a death bell in a dream.

He was surrounded by resentment over why he did this to himself. Reynsis, struggling with fear, killed the knight as Daphs did, and finally killed Prince Daphs.

The blood that was rising from the neck began to color itself. He was able to see the color of red.

That was the original plot that Prim has written in the past.

Prim was biting her lips when Daphs said, “Come on, brother. What are we going to do today? Oh, yeah,”

“………”

“I am going to put out the lanterns now. I am sure you can get away right?”

It was a hunting game where Reynsis became his prey.

Daphs smiled evilly and shook the lamp off that he was holding. A sharp arrowhead was about to pierce Reynsis.

Lane glared at him without losing. His eyes were full of rage.

Daphs laughed and bent his upper body to meet Reynsis at eye level. And he's going to use his fingers to push Reynsis's head.

“Oh, without the light, you can't even see me right?”

Daphs, who uttered, shook the lamp as if to show his face. The fires were shone on Reynsis's eyes.

Prim clenched her fist when she saw that.

‘You scumbag'

Someday, there will be a clear day to regret his action. Prim quietly retraced the story.

[… Reynsis, who was the protagonist, is the first to kill Primabel, the unknown painter and then head to the Palace.

Then, he stormed into Daph's room and stabbed him in the eyes. With the arrow that Daphs used to use.

Looking at Daphs crying out in pain, Reynsis asks with a beautiful smile.

“How does it feel to be stuck in the dark all your life?” ]

But it will be a few years in the future. But, now Reynsis is seriously in danger.

However, she could not approach them since they were holding a bow.

Daph's personality was to get rid of all the annoying things. Then maybe,

‘I will be the most annoying thing if I interfere with them right now.'

Prim quietly knitted her lips.

‘Let's go back and call some help.'

Prim was about to escape cautiously,

BUK!BUK!

A shrill rupture roared inside the quiet forest. Then a dull sound rang out. It was the sound of hitting someone like crazy.

Prim turned her head in a hurry. Yes, but it was faded by the moonlight.

Daph's fist was pounding madly on Reynsis's abdomen.

‘Reynsis was being hit!'

Prim had no time to think and ran towards Reynsis.
