Kai's voice melted into the space; the reality melted into the falseness, and the words melted too, turning into the mysterious runes.

They glowed with the colors of the rainbow before exploding into a shower of white.

The smoky veil returned.

In the darkness, the gray smoke felt as black as anything could be. Then it parted, and a figure walked out as if a herald had announced its coming.

This figure belonged to a fifteen-year-old boy, a year younger than Kai. He was wearing a black doublet, black breeches, and black leather shoes. There was a sly smile on his lips, hidden behind a light stubble on his chin, but his eyes were calm.

Too calm, Kai observed. Calm enough to burst out into a storm.

Into chaos!

This boy was Petyr Baelish.

Petyr bowed behind the Notification.

"Are you sentient?" Kai found himself asking stupidly. His many encounters with Cersei's character from the Book still weighed on his mind. He hadn't asked this question before, but Kai couldn't control his curiosity any longer.

Petyr smiled. "I think so," he replied, the smile never leaving his lips. "All men are blessed with intelligence. It's the use of this blessing which separates the puppet from the puppeteer."

"What are you?" Kai asked, his grip tightening over the book. "A puppet or a puppeteer?"

Petyr approached Kai, his solid figure becoming transparent with each step. "I am whatever you want me to be... master," his voice echoed in Kai's mind. "But foremost, I am a Character, and now... It is my turn to Act."

Kai looked into his eyes. He nodded and proclaimed, "Relentless Love!"

When the words ended, Petyr's blurry, semi-transparent figure lined itself with Kai's and vanished.

Kai could feel him, though. Another being was inside him like a parasite hibernating within an insect. When Kai breathed, he could feel Petyr breathing along with him. When Kai looked at things, he could feel Petyr's calm eyes at the back of his pupils.

With the knowledge of Lysa's planned trip back to the Eyrie, Kai already had gotten all the proof he needed. So he almost turned around to go back, but then paused.

For an E+ Mission, wasn't it too easy? Kai asked himself, narrowing his eyes.

By now, Kai had already confirmed one thing from Arlen, and then from Roland too.

A Mission Grade had never been, and would never be, a true measure of a Mission's difficulty level. A Grade only told about the potential encounters, rewards, and opportunities that are available for a Contestant in the Random World.

Moreover, there were Contestants who had almost suffered a disaster in a lower Grade Mission, while brushing past a higher Grade Mission later.
