My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

Oops!

Josephine was so shocked that she couldn't say it out loud. She belatedly looked into the Princess's thoughts, but Lilienne had already heard clearly.

"What did you say just now?"

 "Well, that is."

"Why is Kanna in Sylvien's bedroom? Are the two sleeping together?"

"No! It looks like Kanna has been hiding in Sylvien's room! She's been like that before. As you know, Sylvien has a weak heart... He's not good at saying no."

Everyone knew that it didn't even sound like a horse. There are few people as cold-hearted as Sylvien. 

Lilienne's face became cold as expected as if she didn't believe it. 

'You can't do this.'

Josephine bit her lip. Somehow she had to appease Lilienne's anger!

"Bring Kanna here now! She dared to dirty the head of the house's bed. She must be punished!"

***

The maid, who had run away while calling Josephine's name, came back 10 minutes later, dragging the knights with her.

"Madam is calling."

 "Yes, let's go."

Kanna got up obediently. She could have run away while her maid was away, but she did not.

Instead of running away, she sat quietly and waited. Preparing to trouble Josephine.

'It's good for me to go see Josephine.'

Even though she was being dragged along, she felt pretty good. Because the new drug was tested on Josephine and no one else.

'It's okay even if there are side effects.'

First of all, of course, Kanna will get a few slaps on the cheek. It was a fully predictable assault. When she came back here, didn't she get hit in the face first?

But surprisingly, Josephine did not try to hit her.

"Kanna Valentino, you!"

She thought Josephine would immediately attack her like a monster and hit her. but she didn't. She was saving her face because of Lilienne next to her.

"Kneel."

Dump. 

The knights pressed on Kanna's shoulders. Her knees got dirty on the dirt floor of the greenhouse.

"What on earth are you doing walking around?"

The slip dress and knees were covered in dirt. It looks like a beggar in a slum.

Lilienne, who was quietly watching this, laughed. 

"Count Eilester, isn't this too much?"

But seeing her like that made Lilienne feel a little less angry. Josephine was inwardly relieved.

"No. There is a crime that Kanna has committed, but it is only this serious! It seems like Her Highness is too weak-hearted. "

She has to make Lilienne happy somehow.

Josephine strode forward and lifted the tip of Kanna's chin with her fan.

"Say it. Why were you in Sylvien's bedroom?"

"Because I slept there."

For a moment, Josephine's complexion turned pale. The smile disappeared from the face of Lilienne, who was smiling behind her.

Kanna spoke clearly while enjoying their reactions. 

"The Duke himself put me to bed. Oh, and he covered me with a blanket too. Well, it's not wrong, right?"

There was no need to add that he had forced her to sleep and then stolen her sleeping scent. Because she hoped they would misunderstand.

'It's better if you hit me.'

 In order to do that, first, Kanna has to make the boss get angry. Lilienne. She felt strangely certain that only then would Josephine raise her hand.

Did the provocation work?

Lilienne bit her lip. 

"You are saying nonsense. The Duke is more cautious than anyone else when it comes to heirs. Unless you are the woman who will bear the heir, there is no way you two will share a bedroom." 

Lilienne was desperate. If Sylvien has children, his value drops significantly. Where else can you find a groom of his level!

But Kanna responded shamelessly. No. The Duke himself suggested that we go to bed.

 "Actually, I didn't plan on going to bed, but the Duke was so stubborn."

"You dare to lie?"

Josephine shouted nervously. If Lilienne gives up on Silvienne, her grand plan to welcome a member of the royal family as her daughter-in-law will go wrong! So she had to shut that damn mouth right away!

Wow.

Josephine raised her hand and hit Kanna on the cheek. It was the violence that Kanna had been looking forward to and waiting for.

"How dare you lie in front of the Princess? You are insulting the royal family! Don't you know that insulting the royal family is punishable by death!"

Whoops! 

Josephine slapped her cheek again.

"Go ahead and tell me it's a lie! Tell the truth!"

If this is correct, it should be enough, right?

The next moment, Kanna lowered her head and covered her head with both arms. She was such a thin defense that she looked miserable.

Just before Josephine slammed her hand down on her head.

"Now."

At that moment, Josephine's hand stopped.

"What are you doing now...?"

A cool voice floated across the air heated by anger.

Lilienne, Josephine, and even Kanna turned their heads in surprise.

A man standing tall in front of a greenhouse.

"I asked what you are doing now." 

It was Kalen Addis.

"Lord Kalen Addis? Why are you here?"

Josephine quickly blocked Kanna's body and asked. But it was too late. Kalen had already seen everything.

He had just arrived at the door of Valentino's mansion. As he walked across the garden, guided by the servant, he perceived a strange sound coming from afar.

It was very small and faint, but his sensitive hearing picked it up accurately.

Kanna's moaning sound. So he shook off the servant's blocking and walked in the direction of the sound.

There was a transparent glass greenhouse there.

The closer he got to the brightly lit greenhouse, and the clearer the sight in front of him became, the more his heart pounded.

Someone was being brutally assaulted, and that someone had black hair.

"What are you doing now?"

Josephine couldn't even speak. He has already seen everything. Everything.

"What on earth?"

Making Kanna kneel on the dirt floor like a lowly slave and hitting her in the face.

Hitting and hitting again and again until her lips are torn and bleeding.

So in the end, the weak sister lowered her head pitifully and blocked it with her arms. Kalen's gaze trembled. His eyes fell on Kanna's white legs beyond the hem of Josephine's rich dress. A bridge dirty with dirt. Kanna had even taken off her clothes. Her clothes were taken away, she was assaulted in the greenhouse while wearing only pajamas that were no better than underwear...

"I asked what you were doing." 

Kalen's fingertips were shaking without him realizing it. The area around his eyes becomes hot and bloodshot. The heat was so intense that his hair stood on end.

"Well, this is..."

Josephine's voice lost its composure. This situation was not expected. Why is Kalen Addis here?

Why? 

'No, yes. This is my home!"

This is my home, and Kanna is her daughter-in-law! And Kalen probably has no intention of making this a big deal either. Because everyone in the Addis family doesn't care whether Kanna dies or not.

'Yes, they would rather wish Kanna dead!'

Josephine did not treat Kanna like livestock from the beginning. On the contrary, she was cautious at first. Even though Kanna is a woman treated like dirt, she is the eldest daughter of Addis.

However, no matter how harshly Josephine behaved, Kanna did not know how to refute her and Addis just watched. As a result, the intensity gradually increased.

Nagging turns into verbal abuse, and verbal abuse turns into assault. At that moment, Josephine remembered the day she first hit Kanna. Was it the second year since Kanna married Valentino?

She arbitrarily crawled into Sylvien's conference room and was caught by another noble.

Josephine was so humiliated back then.

"There is nothing visible. How dare you think of sneaking into the Duke's office during a meeting!"

"B-but if I don't do this, the Duke won't meet me. I'm just saying he did a good job."

Josephine was so angry that she couldn't bear it.

Josephine slapped Kanna on the cheek without realizing it. And she was surprised. Hitting Kanna. She hit Kanna with her own hand!

Josephine felt anxious inside. No matter how foolish Kanna may be, a noble is a noble. Since she was hitted, she won't stay still.

However, Kanna only slumped her shoulders and did not resist. But it was too early to be relieved. If this goes to Addis, Khanna's parents' home, it could escalate into a dispute between families.

Josephine couldn't sleep properly for a few days and was sobbing.

'Why isn't anything happening?"

Surprisingly, nothing happened.  She slapped Kanna on the cheek, but no one protested. 

'You didn't notify Addis? Or, did you notify Addis and they ignored it?'

After that, this happened several times and no one stopped it each time. Kanna's attitude of not squirming no matter how much Josephine trample on her, and Addis' attitude of not caring about what happens to her.

"Kanna is someone you can just treat!'

It was what made me realize that truth.
