Chapter 42 (2/2)

“The content written inside are situations I created, in other words…….”

“Especially the very last sentence, ‘I found a method to humiliate that Thatcher. But it’s a little insufficient with two rounds of materials, so should I secretly watch some more?’ makes a lot of implications on your sexual preferences that can’t be hidden…….”

“Ahhh! It’s not like that! Don’t you understand creativity? Creativity?! It’s all just a novel!”

“Right, Perdi.”

“…….”

Vivian diligently turned the cogs of her brain, but in the end, it was spilled milk. Aidan smiled coldly and the corners of his eyes softly curved as though he had already expected it.

Vivian was astounded by the fact that he was able to pick out that she was Perdi. Of course, she had unfortunately gotten caught with the Sensuality Within the Obscurity, but normally most were unable to obtain even a small hint from them. After all, the structure of her previous works of literature was totally different from her newest novel.

“Just how did you know?”

“The style of writing and narration perfectly matches each other. Even the words most often used overlap.”

Aidan’s explanation was that after reading many books, he had been able to analyze and pick out the characteristics of an author’s writing style automatically. To think that was actually possible. As Vivian gave up on arguing she wasn’t Perdi and let out a sigh, he said words that she couldn’t believe. (T/N: I wish Aidan could analyze the texts from my humanities classes instead of me.)

“I can even name the authors that have impacted your life the most as well.”

“You can go that far? Isn’t that a quality of a monster?”

“That’s something I hear very often. Should I try?”

“N, no. It’s alright.”

It was surprising that the Black Grand Duke was a person who possessed a useless, detailed power.

It was hard to sort through the malicious rumors about him from each corner of the Empire, but when had he the time to reach such an advanced stage of reading books? Vivian thought that the world was worth giving another glance even after living for a long time.

No, in the first place, why is he acting like a scholar?
