SPMB - Chapter 66

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

He told them to burn it, but Isaac didn't. This was in case something like this happened. Because that letter was proof that Prince Cassil had given an order!

Kanna, who was standing right next to him, could clearly see the contents of the letter.

"Please, please save me! I had no choice but to follow His Royal Highness's orders. Don't you know how violent he is? If I had refused, he would have killed me!"

And his shout spread outside the medicine room.

"Bah, did you just hear that? His Royal Highness was trying to hunt down the Duchess..."

"You're crazy!"

One of Sylvien's knights frowned after hearing the commotion outside.

He went straight out. And he was saying almost threateningly that this shouldn't be leaked to people. It is a crackdown on admission.

"..."

Alessandro was expressionless. He received the letter from Isaac, unfolded. After reading it, he put it in my arms. Then he gave orders to his knight.

"Take him and go."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

That was the end. Alessandro just turned his back. He escapes with great strides. 

"Please, just save me! "Just save me. Just save me!"

Isaac was dragged by the knights. 

Kanna watched the back blankly and laughed. Everything was as expected.

She didn't expect my father's appearance...

'The reaction is as expected.' 

The father disappeared without even casting a worried word or concerned look at Kanna. It was an expected reaction.

***

"Your Majesty, a letter has arrived from the Duchess Valentino."

"Give it here."

The Empress's condition was better, but when she felt the itching getting worse, she quickly took a sip of the medicine. Then the itching disappeared in an instant.

"Duchess Valentino's medicine is very effective! I drink it every time I feel itchy, so everyday life is no longer difficult. But the medicine is almost gone. I guess I'll have to ask for more soon." 

She smiled happily and opened the letter.

'Her Majesty the Empress. Due to the current situation, please forgive me for not being polite in my letter.'

The Empress's expression slowly froze as she read.

'I am in Venice now. Not long ago. I had an unfortunate accident and was injured. My hand was badly injured. Therefore, the task of creating a tonic to strengthen Her Majesty's mind and body will not be easy. Since I may not be able to make tonics for a while, you should use what you have sparingly.'

"No!"

Wow! The Empress hit the vase on the table. Just imagining it made her heart feel like it was burning.

It appears that it was written as a tonic in case someone reads it, but the Empress knew that it was not an ordinary tonic but a medicine to relieve tickling.

'You can't make medicine for a while? I should take medicine sparingly?'

Then I have to endure the tickling!

How painful it is, how.......!

'Canna Valentino, If you lie, you will pay the price!!

She huffed and glared at the letter. And then, a sentence suddenly came into view.

'I am in Venice.'

'Venice?:

Why on earth did she go there?

Venice was a famous port city. Not only was it a trade route for trade with the Eastern Continent, but it was also the place of exile for Prince Cassil, who had recently returned.

'What kind of place is it that's so vicious!'

Didn't Prince Cassil also come back injured?

But Kanna was also injured? What could have happened to the royal family and nobles that would hurt them so much?

'...'

In an instant, a beam of light passed through the Empress's head. Presentiment, intuition or imagination.

Something similar immediately captured the Empress's thoughts.

'The royal family and nobles, who rarely get hurt, were injured at the same time and in the same place?'

Kanna hurt her hand to the point where she couldn't make medicine. The Empress heard that Cassil has trouble using his shoulder.

It could be a coincidence. But it may not be a coincidence.

The Empress immediately summoned her younger brother, the Marquis Mercy.

"What brought you here, Your Majesty?"

"Marquis Mercy, there is something I need you to do."

"Yes, please order."

The Empress thought for a moment, And she said.

"Venice, please go there and investigate Prince Cassil's recent whereabouts."

A few days later, the Marquis of Mercy arrived with information. It was very fast. They said that the information was already in the possession of a Venetian intelligence dealer, so they obtained it easily without having to search for it separately.

"It seems that on the last day of exile, Prince Cassil pretended to be a commoner and went on an outing to the village. However..."

"However? But what happened?"

"They said he was beaten by a dark-haired woman."

"..."

"It's not serious, it feels like he has been slapped several times."

"..."

And it is said that His Excellency the Duke and Duchess of Valentino entered Venice that day."

The Empress's lips parted. A black-haired woman from Venice. She thinks it's Kanna.

Puzzles were scattered in the Empress's mind. 

'It's clear something happened. Cassil and Kanna, friction between two people, and injury.'

What is the middle piece that connects the two events?

There was something to be expected. Prince Cassil's violent temper was comparable to that of the devil, so it was easy to imagine.

Clearly, that crazy anglerfish was trying to get revenge on Kanna.

What kind of retaliation was it that caused them both to get hurt?

"There may be a big punishment for Prince Cassil!"

Queen Teresa's children are like a thorn in her eye. The Empress had no intention of missing that opportunity.

"Find out more, Marquis. There must be something."

"Yes. We have already dispatched informants and are digging for information."

As expected, her younger brother was wise. The Marquis of Mercy also knew that this was a very good opportunity.

Opportunity to press down on Queen Teresa's forces. An opportunity to destroy the Emperor's love that Cassil monopolizes.

"Yes, It is a small port city. The news will spread."

"I will find out everything that happened in Venice, so you can look forward to it." 

"You're reliable."

The Empress laughed. Then she took a sip.

If her predictions are correct,

'I guess I can get rid of Prince Cassil.

Until now, Cassil had only touched the daughters of Korean and American noble families. So it ended up being nothing more than exile. Of course, Kanna is still treated like a folding screen in her family. 

'Nevertheless, she has the last names of Addis and Valentino. If we stand up with that point, there will be a fierce storm.'

The Empress smiled, showing her teeth. She was a woman who would do anything for her own benefit. She was ready to fire at any time.

A big fire in the peaceful imperial family.

***

Shake! 

The sound of the iron bars opening hits his ears. Isaac opened his eyes to the noise. And he burst into tears like a dog accustomed to a certain stimulus.

"Well, wrong. I was wrong."

Jump and jump. 

Steps cross the cold, dark dungeon. Calm and quiet. 

There is no hesitation. The closer he got, the louder Isaac's sobs became.

"Raise your head."

Isaac raised his head with tears in his eyes. His throat hurt, but he had to listen. Because he realized it through the torture of the past few days.

That man doesn't speak twice.

Just once. If he doesn't listen, sadistic violence will come straight to him. There is no mercy in that monstrous grip. 

"I was wrong. I dare to harm her. That precious person, I dare........"

"..."

Isaqc tried to kill Kanna by stabbing her in the neck. He shouldn't have done that much. If he had, he might not have been subjected to such cruel torture.

What's even scarier is that Alessandro Addis didn't ask anything. 

"Ugh, wow! Well, I was wrong!"

And then, as always, the torture began. It was a time marked by pain.

Okay, this wasn't torture to get information. It was just a punishment. His sins were struck down with a heavy mace.

The suppressed cries were like those of an animal. Isaac would rather die. If he asked him anything, he would tell him everything, but he didn't ask anything, and even when Isaac tried to tell him, he wouldn't listen.

"Do you want to live?"

At that time, an unexpected question was asked.

"Do you want to live?"

Quietly, quietly, a low voice was heard that seemed to be echoing in a cave.

Isaac nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, yes!" 

"Then tell me everything you know."

After several days of punishment, Alessandro asked a question as if he were doing his duty.

Isaac knew it was his first and last chance.

The Duke doesn't ask twice. If he tells a lie now, if he makes something up, there won't be another chance!

"I'll tell you everything! His Royal Highness Prince Casil and Lord Balix of Venizia are involved in this! His Royal Highness Prince Cassil kidnapped Duchess Valentino and started a human hunt..."
