A flash of intuition flashed through me in an instant. This is the world in a novel.

A novel is made up of sentences.

Then maybe these thoughts that forcibly occupied my head are the sentences of this world that describe the present?

Wait a minute, then, is Louise thinking these words on the inside while pretending to be obedient and light on the outside? It seems like she’s still treating me carelessly. This wasn’t just a matter of hitting and insulting her.

Will my guess be the answer?

I made an insinuation to provoke Louise in order to confirm my guess.

“Louise, you know what?”

“Yes, Mistress?”

“Do you think I don’t suit the position of being ‘Duchess Fenvernon’?”

As soon as I finished speaking, Louise’s eyes widened. Her green eyes seemed to shake with embarrassment.

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

“I thought you’d think that for some reason.”

Louise flinched and waved her hands.

“No, I’ve never done that!”

“Really? Or have you.”

“Oh my God, Mistress, are you sure you’re okay?”

Louise touched my forehead with an exaggerated gesture. It was a gesture asking, “Are you sick?”

I grinned and removed her arm. Seeing that Louise had reacted excessively, it seems that I had directly stabbed at her.

“I just…for some reason, felt that way and said that.”

I’ve never seen such a restless Louise before.

“I still don’t know much about this mansion, and it’s been over a year since I came here.”

“But you’re working hard. So you’ll be fine.”

That means it’s right that I don’t know anything well.

I shrugged my shoulders and spoke casually. Small words such as “This cup is pretty” and “I want to try another type of tea next time,” naturally followed.

It was then.

「 Louise was surprised. This is because Alyssa had spoken as if she had read her mind.」

I soon became even more convinced of my intuition. I was peeking at a part of this world in another perspective. The contents of the sentences I heard before were indeed true.

I waited for a while for this to continue.

But nothing new came to my mind. Seriously, you’re not going to show me any more? I was so curious about what was going to be shown next, because I had no idea how the sentence was created or how it came to my mind.

To be able to read a ‘sentence’ of the novel. It’s an amazing ability. But why did I have this ability? Is it because I’m a human who originally lived outside the book? It certainly felt like I was listening to a novel being read to me.

So, in the future, will these sentences create a whole new story from the original work I know? There were so many things I was curious and upset about.

‘If you’re able to read other people’s minds or the future like this, it’s a terrifying and dreadful ability.’

But if I read meaningless sentences, I’ll just get dizzy.

It’d be better if I could decide the content of the sentence or whenever it comes to my mind, but how it was now was a little disappointing. Still, it seemed to be a third person narrative from an omniscient writer’s point of view. This ability will be very useful if it works well.

I can’t believe this nonsense is possible. Of course, it also doesn’t make sense for a person to enter the world of a novel. (E/n: she’s saying how the ability is nonsense, but at the same time, how a person is able to be in a different world is also nonsense, like her situation)

‘As expected, I’m really from outside this world.’

What’s happening here is only considered a novel to me. Even if the contents were to change a little bit due to the circumstances, it isn’t a reality but a story in a book.

I won’t give or use any special powers then. I’ll just find a way to put myself back in my original world. Then, Alyssa and I won’t destroy the fixed plot.

…no. Come to think of it, I might die when I get back. I don’t know what happened to my body that fell into the Han River. I don’t even remember getting out of the water.

All I can remember is the black-like water that blocked my breathing, the cold temperature against my skin, and a seemingly never-ending fall…
