Chapter 56

-Chapter 56-

'So she rejected all those offers for the sake of Killian?'

That's the only conclusion K could draw from the situation, but if that's the case, then they helped Edith meet the level two exception condition.

Because K was the one who encouraged Killian to do it through Lizé.

If they had left it alone, Killian wouldn't have made ten offers in a row, and Edith, who had relaxed in the middle, might have accepted at least once.

Encouraging Killian to strengthen the flow of the story turned out to be a double-edged sword. But there's no point in hindsight.

'Damn it! If level two is met, that means Killian won't listen to me anymore!

The level two exception condition had never been met, until the thirteenth Edith did it.

K's control over Killian would be reduced to about 30%, making him even harder to control, and their control over other characters would be reduced to about 70%.

But K had never seen what that was like.

'What will happen to this world...... when the level three exception condition is met?'

A horror they'd never thought of came over them.

As far as K knows, once the third condition is met, they will not be able to intervene in anything in the world, and the world will be driven by the probabilities created by the characters.

But what would the world be like, they couldn't imagine.

They had always thought of themselves as the god of this world, but now that K was in this situation, they felt so helpless.

'I created this world, why can't I control it the way I want?!'

Worse yet, once the law of "following the original story" is removed, time will continue to move forward.

Unlike the end of the story, where Lizé becomes the Duchess and the Sinclairs experience a profound sense of regret and then everything goes back to the beginning of the story...... time will continue to move forward after that.

But apart from being tired of living in a loop, K was not curious about what would happen after the original story.

'They lived happily ever after, I don't want to know the rest of the story, I don't want to see Lizé grow old!'

K wanted the story to stop at the peak of happiness. How could they watch the traces of time fall on Lizé's beautiful face?

Lizé should be perfect.

She should remain in her current state, young, beautiful, happy, and loved by everyone.

'And for that to happen, Edith must die as a villainess.'

K gritted their teeth.

Unfortunately, K can't kill Edith themselves.

It wasn't until this situation that they realized it more clearly: trapped in the flow of the story, K could only control the characters they created.

And the flow of the original story sets up only one person to kill Edith: Killian.

'Of course, now that the second condition has been met, the law of "following the original flow" is weakened, and I can use it to kill Edith, but the penalty for doing so...... will be severe.'

If Killian falls in love with Lizé again, it might make things easier, but in any case, the most powerful weapon K could wield is the "exception condition".
