SPMB - Chapter 28

 

 

 

Sylvien raised the corner of his mouth. He lifted his wine glass and took a sip. Listening to the story from here and there, it seems that Kanna appeared very pretty. She lived her whole life in hiding as if in the shadow.

He had already seen Kanna's face before. When was is? Once Kanna hid in his bedroom without a single thread on. At that time, she hesitantly pulled her bangs. Maybe she had confidence in her face. 

That confident was worth recognizing, Because she was a beautiful woman with a gorgeous impression that no one could criticize.

"What are you doing?"

"Duke. Well, we are a couple. Therefore..."

"Go back. Before the employees see you."

That day was the first and the last. Anyway, Kanna had never shown her face to the world like that before.

Wouldn't she be more despised here with her black eyes exposed? The woman who lived in fear and lived in hiding suddenly changed like this?

Sylvien couldn't smile because he could see clearly. Clinging to his feet, crying and begging to love her doesn't work, running away from home is useless, so now she doing this.

'It seems she using a different way.'

***

Meanwhile, Kanna was experiencing a new world.

"If I ever get married, I will probably be a family man."

Family man? He is funny. Orsini must be a home wrecker.

"Other aristocratic men often have multiple wives, but not me. One wife is enough."

No matter how far they talked, Kanna just listened quietly, but the further she went, the more spectacle it became.

'What's a stable family for a thug?'

Yes, keep talking! Every words will becomes a shovels and digs your own grave.

"You are wonderful. Orsini's wife will be happy."

If Kanna marry only for money, power and looks, she might be happy. The moment when she was inwardly sarcastic.

'OMG.'

Kanna witnessed something very funny. Orsini, his both cheeks reddened.

'Ah, this is impossible.'

I might throw up after seeing it. Kanna lowered her head, feeling her stomach rumble, the she lifted it.

"Yes. I will definitely make you happy."

"Okay."

She wished he would speak in his usual languid tone, but he spoke softly, like the only romantic man in the world. It's very disgusting.

"I intend to give my all to the person who will become my wife."

Ah, the ears! Kanna want to but an war that can't hear that line!

'Hey, it's hard to breath!'

Kanna slowly started to get a short of breath. My stomach was tingling, and the pain that came to her reaching her limit.

"Yeah, that's right. Do you have a fiancee?"

"No. In fact, I've never seriously dealt with a woman until now."

It was then. Standing tall, Orsini stopped in place.

"...Sorry. It's a lie."

"Yes?"

"About family and wife, I have never been interested in the from the beginning."

Kanna looked up at him quietly. Moonlight fell on Orsini's face.

It was the first serious face that she had ever seen in her life.

"I usually treat the women who say things in their mouths as idiot to buy men's favor.. I'm acting like a jerk right now, because..."

And it was clearly the face that was excited.

"It was love at the first sight. To you."

A devastatingly driven his goal. Finally he is doing self-destructed. Kanna closed her eyes for a moment and immersed herself in the joy of winning, And she was welcome him.

'Welcome, Orsini. Is this your first dark history? You will tear your hair out if you think of this moment for the rest of your life.'

"Come to think of it, I haven't made a statement yet. What is your name?"

Orsini asked, the stopped talking. He didn't give a full name. How did this woman know his name?

Ominousness pierced his throat like a dagger. As soon as he swallowed his saliva at the sharpness, Kanna smiled widely.

"My name is .... Pooh!"

She couldn't stand it and exploded. Kanna cupped her face with her hands and shook her shoulders. 

No, be patient. She want to make it a little but more muddy here...

Orsini, on the other hand, was somewhat startled. Suddenly, the woman in front of him made a strange noise, shook her head and she began to tremble.

"Why is that?"

'Why is that, son of a bitch? It's because I can't stand it!'

"Have I ever been make you embarrassed? I'm a bit clumsy in this aspect. Sorry, therefore..." 

My God... Now it's really impossible to hold on!

"Ahahahaha!"

Kanna couldn't stand it any longer.

He is embarrassed and burdened, or is he making excuses because he is clumsy?

Kanna grabbed her stomach and giggle like crazy. From the smile of Orsini to the way he hummed like an idiot, she saw it very well. It's been a while she was something very funny and disgusting!

"Why are you like that?"

Moments later, the barely real Kanna said, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Because it's funny?"

"..."

"Isn't this funny?"

For a moment, Orsini's face darkened.

The bizzare sense of deja vu that had been hovering around him since earlier, the doubt that seemed to be in a fog, began to take shape little by little.

"But it is also a bit sad. Poor Orsini, your disgusting aspirations cannot come true."

Above all, this sarcastic tone...

"I'm sorry, but wouldn't it be a bit difficult for us to have a family?"

Finally, Orsini's jaw tightened. A thick vein sprouted from the nape of his neck. 

Looking at his burning bright red face, Kanna apologized in a tone of sincere apology.

"Sorry. But in this day and age, incestuous marriage are common, so don't you do it well? Besides, I'm a married woman first."

It was a voice that said she is sorry, but in reality, she was laughing hard and trampling on it. It was like a shooting an arrow at the top of a corpse's head.

"Then give up. My heart hurts, but I can't help it. Is it not?"

Eventually, Orsini's face was shattered into pieces. Then, slowly, his eyes became stern, like a beast baring its teeth. It was so refreshing to see that intense emotional change. It was a pity not to be able to capture this moment on video.

"You!"

A menacing voice flowed through the mouth. It was a lifeless breath, but Kanna waited with a throbbing heart. Yes, hurry up! Go crazy and run amok!

And, as expected, Orsini did not disappoint her.

"Yes."

In the blink of an eye, they were got closer. Orsini grabbed her neck. He glared at her with his youthful eyes as if to strangle her just as she was. Then, in a flash, he raised his hand on the other side of her.

Kanna raised her eyebrows while holding her throat.

"Just hit me."

Kanna urged like a bullfighter inciting a frenzied bull.

"What are you doing? Just hit me."

"I will kill you!"

"Yeah, I know, so do it. Like before."

For a moment, Orsini's hand froze in the air.

"What's the matter? Could it be that it's been so long that you can't even remember? It used to be one of your habits."

Is it an illusion? She felt the palms of Orsini's hands tremble at the nape of her neck.

Kanna looked straight into his ferocious eyes and ordered.

"Do what you always do."

When she come here, she thought there was only two good things. One is to be able to do alchemy, and reunited with Orsini.

Other family members also harassed her, but not as much as Orsini. To young Kanna, he was like a horned demon.

How many times has her mouth been blown by him? Did she have swollen eyelids?

So, of course he have to be happy.

"You don't remember? You know what you were good at. Hitting my cheek continuously."

Is it because of the pale moonlight? Orsini's face seemed to have turned white. He holds her by the neck.

Kanna smiled contentedly as if appreciating the work she had created.

"So do what you always do."
