Chapter 10 (1/2)

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.
