Chapter 4 — Realising How She Lived.
It’s funny.
Funny indeed...
My current body is in a state of panic while my thoughts are overflowing with curiosity after the eerie vibe this body was giving off.
How can I be so carefree? My changes of mood are even strange to myself. In my opinion, seeing how panicked Marianne’s body is, this all came down to a matter of cooperation. The way I see it is like this: I am not only one person, but two, given how she still feels active in this body. At times when someone is in a panic, it’s good to have someone who doesn’t, so the panic doesn’t escalate further.
Simple, right?
In this case, I am the cold and rational but also carefree one who takes the reins in an emergency.
’It’s okay Marianne. We are going together! Everything will be ju~st fine.’
I told my body, holding the thin wrist. Inside, I smiled to convey my support and reassure Marianne. Apparently, it worked. The body stopped shivering, and the chills decreased.
I nodded my head to the maid who was waiting for my reply.
The maid didn’t guide me through the castle this time. Although, she did walk a few steps behind me.
The one showing me the way was Marianne. ’I see... this must be a frequent occurrence.’
I mean... anyone can tell that much. Marianne’s body didn’t even hesitate in her steps, she was completely convinced where she was summoned to.
