12 O'Clock Marionette

Chapter 73

"You really have trouble seeing past your own biases, don’t you?"@@@@

Just looking at all his clumsy schemes so far, it was clear Julian had underestimated me.

And just a moment ago, he had said something even more revealing.

Put nicely, he was overconfident. Put bluntly, he was full of himself.

Maybe it was just immaturity.

Now that I thought about it, a few people must have died in yesterday’s chaos.

That thought made it a little easier to steel myself.

After all, wasn’t it also Pebula’s will that had led me here?

"Try being a little nicer in your next life."

Pebula, another brat is coming your way.

I was just about to tighten the chains when—

"...Still, I was surprised. It’s been a long time since you last visited."

Marien’s voice came from beyond the door.
