SPMB - Chapter 65

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

Alessandro Addis has arrived. The news reached the ward, that is, to Kanna's ears. She wanted to remain calm, but the moment she heard it, her heart sank. Late this afternoon, as the red sunset was fading, Alessandro Addis arrived.

It is said that they headed straight to the Lord's castle, so they could start work after recovering from their travel fatigue. To check if the crew members were infected with the Black Fog.

"He'll be coming to the ward tomorrow to see the sailors." 

Then he will meet her too. It was something she expected, but when it became a reality, Kanna felt nervous as if her fingertips were burning.

'What will my father think when he sees this?'

Very late at night, she couldn't sleep. Kanna stood distantly in front of the mirror in her room for a long time.

The left arm was in a cast with a splint, and there were traces of wounds all over the body, including the nape of the neck, cheek, and the back of the hand.

Anyone could see that she was a woman who had been through a difficult situation.

She is thinking useless thoughts.

She burst into laughter. No matter what she looks like, her father certainly doesn't care. He has always been that way and he will continue to be that way.

'Okay, let's not worry about it. I can just do my own thing."

Let's take some medicine and sleep. Kanna looked for medicine to relieve the inflammation, but she was nowhere to be found. 

'Oh, I made it but didn't bring it. Looks like it was left in the medicine room and not brought back.'

She draped the shawl over her shoulders and walked out of her room. Perhaps because it was early morning, no one was seen in the hallway. Kanna walked slowly and headed to the medicine room.

However,

"Who?"

In a dark apothecary room. 

"Who are you?"

There was someone.

***

"...!"

Isaac had just poured the poison into the decoction.

"Who are you?"

A woman's voice was heard from behind!

"I got caught. I got caught. I said here wouldn't be anyone.'

However!

'No no! Wake up!'

Isaac bit the inside of his mouth to gather his wits.

'It's a woman. One woman. I can easily subdue It.'

 Then, plodding. He heard the footsteps of a woman approaching.

"Hey, I asked who you were."

Isaac put his trembling hands in his arms. The moment he grabbed the dagger, a sharp decision struck his head. 

'Okay, that's good."

Let's stab and run away!

Then that woman will be silenced forever. He will have no reason to be anxious any more!

"I just saw something in the decoction. Who is it..."

Yes, come closer. Just a little closer.

A hand finally came to rest on his shoulder. When Isaac tried to grab his wrist. 

"Duchess, what's going on?"

"..."

Isaac almost dropped the dagger.

The knights have appeared!

He was Kanna's escort knight. She had been staying in the room next to hers, but when she sensed her presence moving, he followed her. The knights quickly noticed something strange. When they were about to draw their swords.

"Ooh, don't move!"

 Isaac grabbed Kanna's wrist. He hurriedly thrust the dagger into her throat. At that moment, the blade grazed the woman's neck.

"...!"

Ah, I cut it down.

''Shit."

Is it because he is too nervous? He couldn't control his hand strength. Isaac's hands were shaking. Now that things are like this, he has no choice but to take this woman hostage!

Da, da, 

"If you come near I will kill this woman!"

The knights took a step back.

"Calm down."

"Move! Get out of the way now! It means making a way for me to get out!" 

"I get it. I understand, so take the knife from her right away......"

It was then.

"What's the fuss?"

"...!"

At that moment. Isaac almost dropped his blade. A man walks in. Blazing red hair, fierce eyes, and an intimidatingly imposing physique. That alone made Isaac know who he was. That person...

"Your Excellency the Duke of Addis." 

It was Alessandro Addis!

'Why is he here!'

He heard Alessandro come. He should be resting in the castle by now, why is he here now?

Meanwhile, Kanna was also embarrassed. Because she never imagined her father would be here at this hour, and also,

His eyes did not waver one bit.

As if appreciating, as if watching.

His green eyes showed no signs of agitation. He felt as if he had become a tree about to be cut down. Just that much.

That was just the way to look at things like that. Alessandro stared at the back of Kanna's neck.

His gaze moved to the dagger pressed against Kanna's neck, and the red blood flowing down the tip. Finally, the lips opened. 

"Put down your sword."

"..."

"If you don't get off. I'll cut off your arm."

Isaac's lips twitched. The opponent was Alessandro Addis. Probably the strongest man in the world.

"My Lord, please get out of the way. If you let me go, I will let this person go safely."

"Do you think I can't catch you?"

Alessandro asked quietly. It was not arrogance, but a completely natural question of reality. 

"If you leave this place. I will cut off your limbs and capture you."

Isaac's complexion turned white. He was a man who could do that!

It was then, that Isaac bent his body in the moment of intense pain. Kanna hit him in the solar plexus with her elbow!

"Keuheuk!"

The moment his arms loosened, Kanna quickly escaped from his arms.

At the same time, Alessandro moved. It was a movement as if he had been waiting for just that moment.

"Ugh!"

Crack. 

In an instant, his arm broke. This is the arm that strangled Kanna's neck. Then he grabbed Isaac's neck tightly.

Kanna was surprised. Is he really trying to kill him?

"No!"

Alessandro's movements stopped.

He slowly turned his head and looked at her. It was her first gaze here.

The moment their eyes collided, it felt like an electric current was flying from the top of her head.

Kanna barely opened her mouth.

"No."

Then Alessandro tilted his head. He thought he might ignore it, but surprisingly he listened to Kanna obediently.

"I'm sure it's not like I sympathize with him."

"No, of course not."

How could that be! Nut,

"This is a person who did something suspicious. We have to find out why."

Did he think it made sense? Alessandro let go of his head.

Cough! 

Isaac coughed like crazy. Tears flowed from his pain.

"Well. I didn't do anything!"

"..."

"Well, I'm just embarrassed because the Duchess is labeling me as a weirdo! I did this because I was embarrassed. It's true!"

Such bullshit......

Kanna clicked her tongue and approached him. And she said.

"I saw something."

Putting poison into a decoction.

"Would you like to experience for yourself how effective it is?"

'Should I bring some decoction and pour it into your mouth?'

Kanna was saying that.

Isaac understood right away.

He looked at Kanna in despair. She's serious. That woman had a look in her eyes that could have made her pour a decoction into his mouth.

"Well, I am... I am.."

Isaac felt like his head was drying out. Ruined. Wrong. Failed. Finished. He got caught on the spot. He even threatened the Duchess.

Therefore,

'I'm going to die.'

In an instant, the hair on my entire body stood up. No, I don't want to die! He fell to the floor in tears.

"All of this was ordered by His Majesty the Prince!" 

Yes. All of this happened because of the Prince!

"Everything has been ordered by His Majesty Prince Cassil! I-I didn't want to do this!" 

That voice resonated throughout the ward.

"What? What's the matter?"

One by one, murmurs are heard outside the medicine room. The therapists, sailors, and ward staff had woken up.

However, Isaac, who had completely lost his senses, could not hear anything.

"His Royal Highness Prince Cassil wanted to hunt down the Duchess! Well, you planned this to hide that fact! Me too, I didn't want to do this. It's true!"

He shouted like crazy, then searched inside his arms as if he suddenly remembered something. He took out a piece of paper and folded it up.

"This! This is the proof! Hua, this is a letter from His Highness the Prince!"
