Killing the Possessor - Chapter 8
And how significant was this true love? It was almost as if she was his master.
“Are you kidding me? Is that all you feel?”
“I’m sorry, darling. It’s all my fault.”
“What did you do wrong?”
“I just messed everything up. Please don’t be mad.”
The pride of the empire’s imperial family was completely shattered. He was a man who trembled whenever his lover made a sound, even a tiny noise. When she called his name, he rushed to her like a dog, and even when she was cruel and pushed him away, he still chased after her, trembling, hoping for a sign of affection.
It all started with the prince falling for her first and pursuing her relentlessly, but in the end, he was left hanging and rejected after becoming pathetic and clingy.
From a reader’s perspective, this was a failure as a male lead.
“I totally hated him.”
Honestly, I still couldn’t understand why he was one of the male leads.
But there was someone just as annoying as him, and that was his ex-girlfriend.
“You said you loved me more than anything, and it was all a lie? Is that what you call love? Is love so easily tossed around?”
“Da, Darling, it’s not like that…”
Maybe it was because she didn’t want him for herself but didn’t want him to be with someone else either, but as soon as she saw the prince beginning to fall for the female lead, his ex started trying to shake him up with lines straight out of a third-rate drama.
“Ugh, I seriously prayed for both of them to just disappear.”
That woman was me. Honestly, I couldn’t stop sighing in frustration.
“I’m going to lose it, seriously.”
Of course, just because Camilli Mute was a terrible person who toyed with her ex-boyfriend doesn’t mean I have to follow her example. But that wasn’t what I was worried about.
The problem was that the prince, beyond being royal blood, was also from another dimension.
The current Empress, Jian Forre, was, surprisingly, a dimensional traveler.
Even in a world overflowing with possessors, she was the only dimensional traveler. Of course, in terms of causality, she arrived here before possessors started multiplying like they are now, but still.
Now, what does this mean?
“Camilli Mute is a huge public figure.”
Since the current Empress is from another dimension, she was, naturally, very famous.
The prince born from her was also a source of national curiosity.
And what about me?
I was the villain who trampled on the prince’s purity. I even slapped him in public.
This meant that the moment I stepped out of the mansion, a spotlight would be shining down on me.
And for someone like me, constantly fearing that my true identity as a possessor would be exposed, that was a huge misfortune. The more attention I drew, the higher the chances someone would realize I wasn’t the real Camilli Mute!
At this point, there was only one thing I could rely on.
“Hongik Ingan, please come to me!”
I was desperate for information. Just reading the original story wasn’t enough.
I hadn’t read it diligently. After all, I had only started the game to pass the time. I skimmed through it, and I even skipped parts here and there.
I needed a lot more information. Information that would allow me to act like I was born and raised in Harent, and perfectly immerse myself into the role of Camilli Mute. The only ones who could help me with that were Hongik Ingan.
“Please, before I’m found out!”
Perhaps my desperation reached the heavens.
That night, I finally met the Hongik Ingan agent I had been waiting for.
“Who…?”
I woke up to the sound of movement in the middle of the night, only to find a masked stranger standing right in front of me. I almost screamed, but the man quickly covered my mouth, preventing any sound from escaping.
The mask was clearly modeled after a Hahoe mask.
Of course, there’s no way there would be a Hahoe mask here unless someone who knew of it brought it.
Only then did I realize he was the agent from Hongik Ingan I had been waiting for.
The joy was short-lived, as the man who had covered my mouth pressed his finger to his lips.
Once I nodded quietly in understanding, he seemed to think I wouldn’t resist anymore and slowly removed his hand from my face.
Then he asked,
“Kimchi arrayo?”
[Do you know kimchi?]
