How to Live as a Tyrant’s Spoiled Brat Chapter 1

How to live as a tyrant’s spoiled brat Episode 1

(01)

Flames burst out here and there in the palace.

The maids and attendants ran away screaming, and the sound of swords clashing could be heard everywhere.

I grabbed my sword and ran to the audience room where the golden throne was.

Please, I beg you, just stay alive.

“your majesty!”

When I reached the audience room, I leaned against the wall and exhaled heavily.

My physical condition was terrible because I had fought dozens of times with rebels who called themselves revolutionary soldiers.

“You’re late. Have you come for my neck too?”

White hair that looks like melted platinum and deep yellow eyes that look like they’re inlaid with gold.

A woman with a slender figure and tall stature, sitting with her back straight and legs crossed, looking down at the other person.

A monarch with an arrogant and confident dragon-like appearance.

The youngest sword master in the empire and a great magician recognized by the Ivory Tower Lord.

A man who started a rebellion at the age of sixteen, killed his relatives, and seized the throne.

A war hero who suppressed nine rebellions and won five great wars over 40 years.

A tyrant who aroused resentment by collecting taxes that bordered on plunder.

Emperor of the empire that rules the continent.

And my twin sister.

Jaylilith Soletaraon Soletaras.

She sat on a golden throne on the podium and looked down at me.

“What are you talking about?”

“Then why didn’t you run away?”

I paused for a moment and then answered.

“There is nowhere to go.”

“You have nowhere to go?”

“Will the rebels who have enjoyed all kinds of luxuries next to Your Majesty accept you?”

“Aren’t there also allied kingdoms, noble leagues, and merchant associations?”

“That guy is that guy. I am His Majesty’s closest confidant. I am number one in the assassination rankings.”

“Who says you are my closest confidant? I don’t have any confidants.”

She said it with an expression that made it hard to tell whether she was joking or serious.

I was silent for a moment, unable to answer.

“Then why didn’t Your Majesty run away?”

Words that shouldn’t have been said just came out of my mouth.

“How rude.”

As soon as I heard the emperor’s words, I shook my shoulders and looked around.

Because I knew that blood would always flow after those words were said.

“But the executioner I appointed has long since fled, so I cannot punish him. I will specially let him pass.”

She chuckled.

“This way!”

“Gather in the audience room!”

“Let’s all rush in together.”

“Everyone, be on your guard! It’s the Emperor!”

“If we’re not careful, we’ll all die.”

Outside, the voices of a group of rebels calling themselves the Revolutionary Army could be heard.

“Why didn’t you run away?” you asked.

She said, picking up the sword that lay beside the throne.

At the same time, the wide door in front of the audience room and eight side doors opened wide.

“let’s go!”

Hundreds of people poured in, shouting.

They all seemed to have come out of hell, radiating a murderous aura from their entire bodies.

You’ve done a great job gathering such talented people.

I thought so and picked up the sword.

The hair on my body stood on end with tension.

But the woman sitting in the highest seat in this audience room laughed like a tiger facing a pack of dogs.

“Where can I go if I abandon my home?”

She stood up from her seat and drew her sword.

The golden eyes and translucent blade were dyed a dark purple.

An energy far beyond human ability flowed from that slender body.

The man at the head of the rebels took a step back.

It was a man who came in with his face red with hatred and anger.

His face turned white in an instant.

“Don’t be afraid. There’s only one of you!”

At that moment, a dozen or so more people entered through the wide door in front of the audience room.

The man in the lead looked at the emperor with golden eyes like mine.

“It’s been a while, Jaylilith.”

“Speak up to Jim.”

“Well then, Your Majesty, it is time for you to step down. Please leave the crown and seal behind and rise obediently.”

The man who ran out shoulder to shoulder with the commoners was my half-brother, a traitor, a hero of the people called the traitor prince.

Justinianus Soletaraon Soletaras.

“Okay. I’ve decided.”

Jaylilith laughed like a white devil.

“All your companions will become food for the dragons. And you will stay by my side for the rest of your life.”

The rebel prince smiled with a determined expression.

The emperor shook his head and came down from the throne.

“Let’s see if you can still smile like that even if your legs are cut off and a leash is tied around your neck.”

A dark purple aura flowed from her body, casting a dark shadow over her face.

The next moment, a fight of thousands against one began.

The moment the fight started, I raised my sword and rushed towards the rebel prince.

Since anyone below Sword Expert could do nothing in this fight anyway, I had to cut off the head first.

To be honest, it’s not that I didn’t understand him at all.

Because I’ve seen all sorts of ugly things around Jaylilith.

But I will not tolerate treason.

“You can’t pass through here.”

I wrapped the mana blade around my sword and struck it down.

It was a blow that could even split a huge cliff in half.

But the rebel prince, his black hair fluttering, dug into my side.

It was a speed that was difficult for me to follow with my eyes.

The next moment his sword burned blue.

Unlike the Mana Blade I made, there was no shaking or cracking.

It was an Aura Blade, not a Mana Blade.

That’s ridiculous.

That guy even rose to the rank of Sword Master.

“Get out of the way. You rascal. You disgrace to your bloodline.”

The traitorous prince took my sword.

There was a crackling sound and sparks flashed before my eyes.

* * *

“ah.”

When I came to, my head hurt.

I was blown away and pinned to the wall.

It seemed like only a few seconds had passed since the cheering continued.

“under.”

I staggered to my feet, dusted myself off, and put my missing arm back in.

Before my eyes, a fight between half-gods and half-gods was taking place, accompanied by loud noises.

It was a speed that most people wouldn’t be able to see properly.

Among the rebels who rushed at her, there was a man with his sword hanging down with a look of despair on his face.

“We were trying to fight something like that?”

The ominous purple-glowing sword and the brilliant blue-glowing sword clashed, sending sparks flying.

“It’s time to pay the price for your tyranny!”

When the rebel prince kicked the ground, cracks and gouges appeared in the marble and crystal floor of the throne room.

He pushed Jaylilith towards the thick pillar with his sword in front.

Jaylilith shuddered as she was hit hard on the back.

But there was still a leisurely smile on her lips.

“Do you dare to discuss the price with me?”

The next moment her movements became as natural as flowing water.

The heel of the shoe, infused with mana, was wedged precisely between the joints and muscles below the rebel prince’s knees.

Justinian’s balance suddenly collapsed, as if he was in a lot of pain.

At the same time, she made a large circle around her left foot and swung her sword in a circular motion.

It was a blow that would have split the rebel prince’s torso in two if he had only taken one breath faster.

I think it will be suppressed without a hitch.

Thinking so, I cut down the two rebels who were rushing at me.

Nine rebellions bordering on civil war. Smaller uprisings were an annual event.

It is truly amazing that we have gathered this many troops now.

However, the Emperor has also defeated three of the same Sword Masters.

I can stop the soldiers’ tricks.

The rebellious prince Justinian dies here.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, an ominous aura was felt in the southern sky.

It was a chilling atmosphere, like an execution ground with corpses rotting all around.

“You, you.”

Jaylilith also felt that energy and her face hardened.

For the first time, the smile disappeared from her lips.

“What have you done!”

It was so urgent that it was hard to believe it was coming from someone who was so arrogant and easygoing.

The rebel prince, clutching his bleeding stomach, stumbled back and laughed.

“Yeah. With this level of skill, I can’t even ask you for a price.”

Jaylilith gritted her teeth and ran out of the audience room.

I too followed her out of the audience room.

The rebel soldiers just looked at us with empty eyes, as if they already knew everything.

A warm breeze blew through our platinum hair, just as before a storm.

“your majesty.”

I called her with a trembling voice.

“okay.”

Her voice also trembled.

Flames and black smoke rose from all over the splendid capital of the thousand-year empire.

Black clouds and fog rolled in like a tidal wave, covering even the flames.

Between the clouds and fog, monsters that were neither dead nor alive could be glimpsed.

“You opened the border.”

“okay.”

“I called the old ones.”

“That’s right.”

The rebel prince who followed us answered monotonously.

I asked, my teeth chattering with anger and horror.

“Weren’t you a hero of the people?”

The rebel prince spoke, his black hair disheveled.

“Yeah. But after I realized that I couldn’t win no matter what I did, I didn’t really care.”

A corpse dragon descended from between the black clouds.

Even though it was reduced to nothing but bones and scales, it was still large enough to cast a shadow over the entire palace.

Blue flames blazed from its mouth, which was so large it could swallow a whale in one bite.

As if resisting this, Jaylilith gritted her teeth and gathered her mana.

At that moment, the rebel prince rushed in.

It was a move that even I, a sword expert, could not handle.

Jaylilith counterattacked urgently.

Her left arm and the traitorous prince’s head rolled down the stairs.

The rustling sound came a beat late.

“… … !”

She gathered her mana again, spitting out inappropriate six-letter words.

A translucent auric shield formed a sphere around her body.

But even she couldn’t perform a technique that required both hands with just one hand.

The auror shields blinked and dispersed.

I stood in front of her, creating a mana blade on my sword.

“Your Majesty, please step aside.”

There’s nothing I can do.

This must be my grave.

She looked at me with eyes that said she had seen all kinds of crazy people.

“What can you do in the face of that dragon’s flames? It is an imperial order. Leave your luggage behind and run away. The end of a tyrant must be lonely.”

“Jay release.”

“!”

I called her name.

It was a name I hadn’t heard in 40 years.

“I just wanted to try it once.”

“you……!”

“I’m your older brother.”

It’s too late to run away and survive.

I gritted my teeth and aimed my sword at Shiryong.

“Brother.”

At that moment, an awkward voice was heard from behind.

“I just wanted to call you once.”

You are the emperor, I am the loser.

Although their faces are still those of teenagers, the names they call each other and even the places they stand have changed so much.

The dragon breathed blue fire.

It was a fierce fire that my Mana Blade, not to mention my Aura Blade, could not withstand even for a moment.

In an instant, my eyes turned white.

No pain was felt.

The sword in his hand still felt sharp.

A distant kaleidoscope of images unfolded before my eyes like a painting.

My childhood, when I ran around the lawn of the palace without knowing anything.

You, holding someone’s hand, went somewhere.

Your name was heard as a legend in the stories of adults.

You sit on the golden throne, holding a bloody sword.

You, who carried out cruel purges and sadistic rule as if you were a different person.

I, who can’t leave your side and can’t stay properly.

I wandered for a while.

He was ruined by alcohol, women and gambling.

He became a harmless rascal to the powerful and survived numerous purges.

He barely regained his senses and began rehabilitation.

It was too late to properly learn swordsmanship and become a sword master, or to properly learn magic and become a great magician.

I shouldn’t have lived like that.

You should have lived like royalty, not like a loser.

Then maybe we could have stopped this fire today.

My whole body felt like it was burning like iron on an anvil.

If I were given another chance.

Then everything will fall into place.

I will protect you and this empire.

I could say with certainty that it was the most intense wish I had ever had in my life.

At that moment, I felt all the mana remaining in my heart flow out in an instant.

It felt like blood was flowing backwards through my whole body.

Is the mana dissipating?

Then now I’m really dead.

I lost consciousness with the feeling that everything was falling apart.

* * *

“……sir.”

A faint voice called a familiar name.

“Mr. Bell?”

Belle. That was my nickname as a child.

“Valentine, wake up.”

Is the flashback not over yet?

It’s longer than I thought.

“Your Highness the Grand Duke of Valencianus Soletaraon Soletaras. Rise!”

I heard the sound of curtains being drawn and a window opening. Bright sunlight and a cool breeze poured down on me.

It’s too vivid for a revolving lantern.

But it’s not bad.

I opened my eyes with that thought.

A bed with red curtains and a gorgeous chandelier caught my eye.

“Are you awake now? You must have been tired yesterday. You usually wake up before I call you.”

A maid with neatly tied brown hair and soft wavy green eyes that sparkled like emeralds spoke to me.

It looked so much like someone I knew that I almost screamed.

“That can’t be true.”

“yes?”

“You’re dead.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Rudy is already dead.”

After you die, do you continue to recall memories from your life?

Then it would be a very miserable afterlife.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden? Did you have a nightmare? Why would I die? I’m right next to His Highness the Grand Duke.”

“No way. How can you be alive? It’s been several years now.”

It’s not a revolving lantern or an afterlife?

Does that mean I’m alive too?

If he had survived, how on earth did he survive that fire?

It’s the dragon’s flames that even Jaylilith couldn’t stop.

“This is the year 1073 of the Imperial Calendar. It is the spring of the first year since His Majesty Jayrillis ascended to the throne.”

“So I’m seventeen now?”

“Yes, of course.”

Rudy made a face as if to ask why.

I got up in a hurry and stood in front of the mirror.

A boy with white hair and golden eyes who still had a childish look on his face was making a surprised expression in the mirror.
