Chapter 109

Fake and Truth (17)

There were many miscellaneous items in the place where Arthur came in. The items displayed in the cabinet were stained with hand stains at a glance.

However, whether he had been continuing to manage it, it was neat without any dust.

“What are all these items?”

“It’s about you.”

Arthur was referring to those who have been ‘Mary’ so far. She doesn’t know how he got his hands on the items, but looking at the displayed items, she felt Arthur’s affection.

“Did you manage all this until now?”

From accessories to books, she could see a variety of items. She got goosebumps at the number on which Mary was written. She didn’t have to say how obsessed he was with Mary.

Looking at the bottom, she leaned back and looked around at the props that seemed a little more new than the top.

“But this looks similar to the thing you gave Finn earlier.”

She asked, taking out the beads stored in the glass bottle. The silver splashing and shaking seemed to be alive.

It looked like a transparent bead, but the color seemed to be reflected, perhaps because of the contents inside.

“It’s like silver…….”

“It’s just a bead. Proserpine (Finn) loves to shine.”

If she only likes sparkling things, why did he express it as delicious? Beads aren’t meant to be eaten either.

“The reason I brought you here is to show you this.”

He took out a book from the box and handed it over to her. The cover contained the title of the novel she read. Arthur calmly looked at her as if he had expected her reaction.

‘No matter how much it is in the novel, she didn’t know that this book existed here.’

She went over the bookshelf and looked at the contents. She thought of what she had read. Because she read and read the book over and over again, she was able to vaguely remember what was on the page.

But she couldn’t be sure because it wasn’t an accurate memory. Slowly, she looked through the book again.

‘Huh? Hold on. I don’t think it’s from here.….’

Since she entered this place, the contents of the book have already looked different from the original. However, the content was slightly different, and the ending remained the same.

“Did you read this?”

“Of course.”

“Is there anything else you want to talk about? Is this the only book you have?”

She asked him if he had another book because Arthur might have revised the contents of the book.

“Yes, only this one book. This is the first time the content has changed.”

Arthur shook his head. It’s definitely a novel that many Mary besides her have gone through, but why hasn’t the content of the book changed? Does it mean that the actions of the Mary(s) earlier did not affect the content of the original at all?

Otherwise, otherwise Mary(s) would not have died in Gray’s hands so far.

They said that the end of them was death, so if Arthur’s words were not false, this space now was full of contradictions.

“Arthur, you’ve said that the end of Mary is your death.”

“That’s right.”

“The fact that the story of death remains the same means that I can’t be excluded either.”

Just like how it’s been. Otherwise, she might be able to get away with it. Maybe she can live without dying?

“Mary, have you ever seen this space in a book?”

“No, there wasn’t. I don’t think I’ve seen a single line of explanation. In the first place, there was no talk about the territory of Viblant.”

She fell into thought for a moment at Arthur’s words. Based on his words, the plot and content of the novel are the same, but where she is currently is a place outside of the novel.

Therefore, there was a great tendency not to affect the original work.

Conversely, what if she acts within the radius of the Imperial Palace or Mary described in detail in the articles? Perhaps it was quite affected.

For example, she collapsed because she didn’t take medicine in the Imperial Palace. However, even if she thinks about it like this, there was a loophole.

“Then why weren’t there any sanctions when I acted arbitrarily in the imperial palace?”

“Mary, don’t you remember who you were always with when you acted arbitrarily?”

“…Ahhh, you.”

It was Arthur. Arthur was always together with her at the end of the action. He was by her side even when changing rules with the nobles in the imperial family. Then her anomaly was Arthur.

“Because you’re not important to the novel, I was able to do whatever I wanted, right?”

“To put it simply, yes. I’m a person who isn’t need it in this novel. And the fact that the content about me, which has never changed in such a long time, has changed like this.”

“Where did it change…….”

Arthur opened the book without hesitation and pointed to one place. The description of Arthur, which was expressed in a single line, and the explanation of the Viblant territory were increased.

His gaze, curious about Mary, has also changed not only her but also Arthur’s content.

“There’s been a change.”

“I don’t know if this is a good sign. But I brought it because I thought it would be better for you to know. In addition, I feel like you’ll stay quiet for a while only when I solve your curiosity about the Viblant land.”

“…… Well, it’s not wrong. It’s better to put this book here. If others see it, it will be a difficult situation.”

Arthur took the book from her and locked it back in a box. Sweeping her hair back, she sighed.
