THIS REACTION... IT'S AURA. WHAT DO YOU MEAN...?! DO YOU KNOW THE CONDITIONS REQUIRED TO AWAKEN AURA, PRIEST? YES. ISN'T IT A POWER THAT MANIFESTS WHEN THE BODY AND MIND ARE PUSHED TO THEIR ABSOLUTE LIMITS? WHICH IS WHY AURA USERS ARE EXTREMELY RARE, RIGHT? EXACTLY. IN THAT CASE... DOES SHE LOOK LIKE SHE POSSESSES THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL STATE CAPABLE OF THAT? I'M A VETERAN AT THIS, SO WHAT. FEIGNING IGNORANCE! HMM... IS THE BODY REACTING BECAUSE MY SOUL HAS ALREADY BEEN TRAINED TO ITS ABSOLUTE LIMITS? I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE, BUT IT IS FASCINATING. I HAVEN'T FOUND ANY TRACES OF PHYSICAL TRAINING ON HER, SO I FIND IT QUITE BIZARRE AS WELL. BY ANY CHANCE, IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE DECIDING WHAT TO DO WITH HER, YOUR GRACE, PLEASE LEAVE HER WITH OUR TEMPLE FOR RESEARCH. AH... NO!! A KNIGHT CAN DIE ON THE BATTLEFIELD, BUT I REFUSE TO SUFFER SUCH A DISHONORABLE FATE! They'll use experiments as an excuse to feed me suspicious things! P-PLEASE, SAVE... ME?! DID YOU BRING THE ITEM I REQUESTED? EXCUSE ME? ...AH, YES. HEY, DON'T IGNORE ME...! IT IS THE SAP OF THE WORLD TREE SENT BY THE HIGH PRIEST. SINCE IT WAS A REQUEST FROM YOU, YOUR GRACE, WE MADE A SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO BRING IT OUTSIDE. AS YOU KNOW, THERE IS NO LONGER ANY SUPPLY OF THIS ITEM, BUT BY ANY CHANCE... I SWEAR NOTHING ABOUT TODAY WILL LEAVE THIS ROOM. THANK YOU. PLEASE USE IT WITH CAUTION. UP TO THREE DROPS IS FINE, BUT... ANY MORE THAN THAT, AND THE POWER OF THE WORLD TREE WILL OVERWHELM THE USER'S MIND, CAUSING THEM TO LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS. THREE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH. WAIT A MINUTE... IS THAT BY ANY CHANCE... THE SAP OF THE... WORLD TREE? DRINK IT. I ALREADY DRANK THE SAP OF THE WORLD TREE ONCE WHEN I WAS A CHILD. THE LIQUID THAT FORCES YOU TO SPEAK ONLY THE TRUTH IN RESPONSE TO ANY QUESTION, RIGHT? BUT IT DIDN'T WORK ON ME AT ALL BACK THEN?! DRINK UP. YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE. I'M ONLY DRINKING IT BECAUSE YOU'RE THREATENING ME, GRAND DUKE. BUT YOU WON'T GET THE ANSWERS YOU WANT FROM ME. ANSWER HONESTLY. IS IT TRUE THAT YOU LOST YOUR MEMORY? THAT IS CORRECT. I LOST MY MEMORY! YOU COULD SAY I LOST IT, BUT YOU COULD ALSO SAY I DIDN'T! UH-OH? WHY DID MY SPEECH BUBBLE CHANGE? EVEN MY ENTIRE BODY IS MOVING ON ITS OWN?! IT DEFINITELY DIDN'T DO THIS BEFORE...? TO BE HONEST, I AM A VERY COMPLICATED PERSON, GRAND DUKE. ...DID YOU MIX ALCOHOL INTO THIS? O-of course not! Ahem! ...It seems the effects are overwhelmingly strong on this young lady. THIS IS HUMILIATING. Th-that's wh-why I'm s-saying th-the qu-question was f-flawed f-from th-the s-start. ...Did you catch any of that, Grand Duke? *MEANING: THE QUESTION ITSELF WAS FLAWED FROM THE START. NORBERT, ESCORT THE PRIEST OUT AND WAIT OUTSIDE. YES, UNDERSTOOD. ...THAT WAS A USELESS WASTE OF TIME. ENOUGH PLAYING AROUND. LET'S GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS LEFT. WILL I ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO HOLD OUT IN THIS STATE? DO YOU... REMEMBER ME? ...WHAT DOES HE MEAN? DID HE ACTUALLY RECOGNIZE ME? NO, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. MY APPEARANCE IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN TALKED ENOUGH FOR HIM TO DEDUCE WHO I AM. IF THAT'S THE CASE... THAT QUESTION... HE MUST BE ASKING THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS BODY. I REMEMBER. VERY WELL, IN FACT. A RUTHLESS SLAUGHTERER WITHOUT A SINGLE DROP OF BLOOD OR TEARS. A BLOODTHIRSTY DEMON. THE HOMICIDAL MANIAC OF THE CENTURY. THE LUNATIC OF THE BATTLEFIELD... STOP. THAT'S ENOUGH. LET ME FINISH. BECAUSE THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. YOU ARE... ...THE ONLY PERSON I'VE EVER ACKNOWLEDGED. GAH!!!! THIS DAMN BODY!! THAT WAS PRACTICALLY A CONFESSION!!! PLEASE, MAKE IT STOP!! THEN HERE IS MY FINAL QUESTION. ARE YOU... ARE YOU FINISHED, YOUR GRACE? DID YOU OBTAIN THE TRUTH YOU WERE SEEKING? YES... I GOT IT. AAAAGH! NO, THAT'S NOT IT! ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Undercover Butler to the Grand Duke #3](/series/undercover-butler-to-the-grand-duke-joq1g3yb/chapter-3-xvf9us) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/undercover-butler-to-the-grand-duke-joq1g3yb ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
