There was a moment when you could hear a pin drop.
Yet even so, Fu Qian felt the turmoil of the Dream.
Given Divine Envoy Nepheli was essentially a non-human projection, it was logical to assume this turmoil originated from Kisaragi Chie.
That she could be affected to this extent suggested that the image of the King of Ye Island was not easily associated with death in her mind, thus leading to an intense bout of self-doubt.
"Why... why did he die?"
This time, Kisaragi Chie spoke on her own, finding the words with difficulty, without the reminder from Nepheli.
"Isn't that obvious?"
Fu Qian replied with an astonished expression, his tone completely natural.
"I killed him."
"You—"
In the almost deranged sound of Kisaragi Chie's voice, the instability of the Dream instantly intensified.
Fu Qian did not forcibly maintain it but instead snapped his fingers and ended the Clear Dream Ring.
