My Villainous Husband

42

I quickly came to my senses and continued.

“When I had my maid spy on you, she found out that you’ve been reading books secretly?”

“You saw me that much, even at the library…?”

“This is not the time to be distracted!”

As if it was not me who had been distracted a little while ago, I shamelessly called him out.

“What book have you read so far? It’s forbidden, right? Seeing that you were reading it secretly, it must be against the doctrine of the Temple of Tunia?”

“I was reading about forbidden sorcery.”

“What about the forbidden magic?”

“Because that seems to have brought me to this world.”

I opened my mouth wide.

I have never thought of approaching it that way. The problem was that I read too many novels of this genre. At a certain point, the setting of possession became the default value of the genre novel I was reading, so no one wondered ‘why’ or ‘how’ we possessed into the book.

It was already enough to unravel settings in the work after being possessed rather than such reasons of why and how we got here.

It was not that that was the point anyway, though how pleasant the main character, who had the advantage of knowing the entire original story, acted. Most of them do not even go back to their original world, so why and how they possessed it does not matter.

What was important was how to live in the new world.

My brain was so numb from the work I had been reading that I did not even wonder about the ‘why’ and ‘how.’ I just accepted the fact that I became an extra in the novel and struggled to survive here.

I stared at Eden with a shocked face.

‘…Is this an outrageous idea that only people who don’t know much about genre rules could do?’

Even though I may have just been a fool, Eden was a man who came up with ideas that I never thought I would, so I decided to take him seriously.

Seeing my reaction, Eden closed his eyes for a moment before pressing his knuckles against his temples and spoke, “From what you said, ‘I thought you were alone,’ the Emperor doesn’t seem to be a transmigator, right?”

I almost burst into tears.

Even though he saw what happened in the audience room, could he not tell if he was a transmigator…?

“It would have been great if the Emperor was also possessed. The problem is that he’s crazy just like the original. I’m on thin ice every day.”

“Then, why is it you and me?”

Apparently, Eden was the type of person who excelled in the spirit of inquiry. But, unless they help me escape from Actilus or feed me, I am not really interested in such things.

“Are we supporting characters who died in the original novel? At least, there were scenes where we died.”

‘…Don’t get distracted by that!’

I quickly returned to the original topic.

“What if we know it’s actually forbidden sorcery that brought us into this crazy world?”

“Of course, if it is, I am going to get rid of the magic and go back to where I used to live.”

After he said that, Eden gazed at me with a puzzled face as if asking why and he added.
