Chapter 216: Someone’s Master (3)
I was reliving the trauma of Viscountess Amethyst, who was walking ahead of me. She was just a character in this dream. I had been through quite a few nightmares, but Amethyst was the first person to realize she wasn’t real.
“Don’t you feel strange or anything?” I asked, just in case.
“Why would I?”
“Well, this place isn’t real. This is a trauma that my Skill created.”
Amethyst giggled. “I don’t find it that strange. The only strangeness I feel right now is your unfamiliar manner of speech while looking and sounding like my advisor, River Eternal. It’s fucking weird. You’re a man, isn’t that right, Mr.[1] Kim Gong-Ja? Considering the naming conventions of the Spire Realm, that’s what I’m assuming.”
“Ah, yes. I’m a man.”
“I knew it. Let me give you a mirror.”
Amethyst pulled out a hand mirror and pointed it at my face. There, I saw how the person I had possessed, Advisor River Eternal, looked.
“How is she?” Amethyst asked me. “She’s pretty, right? Of course she is. She’s my advisor.”
Amethyst laughed playfully. However, River Eternal’s beauty wasn’t something to joke about.
She’s beautiful.
