"No, my lord. I don't know," Alfred shook his head.
He had heard Julius use the word before, but he never asked what it meant.
Julius smiled and started explaining.
"A transmigrator is a person who gets reincarnated into a character from a novel. For better understanding… you love those romance stories, right?"
Alfred coughed awkwardly and scratched his cheek.
"Ahem… yes, my lord." He nodded, looking a little embarrassed.
"So imagine this," Julius continued.
"You are reading your favorite novel. You fall asleep or die suddenly. Instead of going to the afterlife, you wake up inside the novel you were reading. That is called transmigration. Do you understand?"
"Yes, my lord," Alfred nodded seriously. Then he thought for a second and his eyes suddenly grew wide.
"Wait… my lord… does that mean our world is also a novel?"
"Bingo!" Julius said with a big grin. "You are smart, Alfred!"
