SPMB - Chapter 116

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

His words struck the top of her head. Kanna almost got her steps messed up.

'She's not Sylvien's wife?'

If you think about it, it was correct.

Although his body was bound to Sylvien through the institution of marriage, it was Joo-hwa, not Kanna, who entered into sexual marriage with him.

'But how on earth did you know that?'

Her fingertips went numb from shock. However, his expression was not so relaxed that it was even boring.

"Yes, that's right. I am planning to divorce soon."

"Ahaha. Yes, that's right. But I didn't mean to ask that way. What I meant was that you are not the Kanna who lived as Sylvien's wife."

"I don't know what you mean, Your Highness."

"I know everything that happens in this empire. No, to correct you, I know almost everything."

From then on, only Argon's voice was heard. All other sounds faded away. Music too. All kinds of liquor. The sound of clinking glasses and laughter.

Only Argon's voice resonates in her head. 

"I know, Kanna."

What?

"I also know that the Empress tried to kill Princess Amelia. She also tried to frame you. I know you survived by using some kind of wit. But Sylvien's wife, 'Kanna', whom I have been learning about for a while, does not have that ability. At some point, you turned into someone else. All your decisions, actions, dialogues, and choices were completely different from the existing 'Kanna'. To the point where I can only think of you as someone else."

Words, words, words pouring out like rapid fire.

All his lines rained down on Kanna's head. It falls and hits mercilessly.

Argon folded the corners of his eyes and smiled. It was a fox-like laugh.

"Who are you?"

Kanna felt dizzy.

But fortunately, the voice she spoke was not only calm but even cold. 

"This is Kanna Valentino, Your Highness. As you can see."

That person doesn't know anything. 

"It is impossible to change your appearance even through alchemy using magic stones. You know it well, right?" 

The fact that they talk like that is proof that he don't know anything.

"Besides, unlike Your Highness, I didn't even have the freedom to lead a double life. There was no opportunity for people to change."

"So, that's the problem." 

Argon held her hand close. His fingers were hot. 

"It couldn't have been someone else, but you turned into someone else. It's not just personality. You even performed unprecedented medical techniques."

The purple eyes were cold. 

"How is that possible?"

It was a curiosity that bordered on obsession.

"Please don't make cute excuses that you studied by reading books."

"That is the truth. It's just a pity that there is no way to prove it." 

"Haha, it's cute as expected. But that I want is the not-so-cute truth."

Oh, shit. 

The swearing continued to escalate.

Argon didn't seem like it would go away easily. His eyes were staring at her, almost like a hunter, no, he was closer to a hunting dog.

It was the look in the eyes of a mad dog that would attack and bite to get what it wanted. 

' I can never just get rid of this person.'

It was a certainty that went beyond a premonition.

'Yeah, I thought he was this kind of person. That's why he tried not to get involved all this time." 

Following in her father's footsteps, there was another person trying to find out her secrets.

'Just being a father is too much." 

But now is not the time to lament about her situation. Kanna thought calmly as she danced under his lead.

'I'm going to get my flesh ripped off by this person anyway.:

This crazy dog has already bitten itself. It won't fall apart until you chew it as much as you want. Then.

'I give up my flesh. I will take that man's bones.'

When her thoughts reached that point, suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed Argon's shoulder.

Kanna's feet stopped due to the force. Kanna turned her head. And her eyes opened wide.

“Ah?”

A man wearing a black butterfly mask. It was Sir Claude.

"Excuse me."

Is it because of the mask covering his face? Or is it because of the unsmiling eyes? 

Claude felt very harsh, unlike usual.

"Would you like to dance with me this time?"

"..."

What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden? 

Kanna soon realized the reason.

'I may have looked troubled."

It was actually difficult. So he did his duty as her guard and came to her rescue. He was truly a great escort.

Argon, who was watching, grumbled.

"It's too much. The scary knight is trying to take my partner away at will."

"It's a masquerade ball, right? Isn't this a place where people come to hang out anyway?"

Claude graciously accepted it and looked down at Kanna again.

"With me...." 

"No, I do not want."

At that moment, Claude's lips stiffened.

Was this an unexpected reaction?

But Kanna had no intention of being considerate of him now. Kanna spoke with a dry face without even the slightest trace of laughter.

"I don't remember bringing an escort, Sir Claude Azelle."

"..."

"I'm having a good time, so don't disturb me."

Then he grabbed Argon's hand. 

"Your Highness, I don't want to be disturbed, so let's go to the terrace."

***

"What? Is it a love fight?"

"Is that possible?"

Kanna sat down on the terrace sofa and denied it.

"But no one could tell that it was a love fight just now, right?"

However, Argon was as excited as a boy who had read a very interesting romantic novel

"Kanna, I couldn't believe you were having an affair with that knight over Sylvien...?" 

"Oh my God."

Kanna narrowed her brows.

"Didn't you say that you know everything that happens within the empire? But the fact that you don't even know my personal relationships makes me doubt your skills."

After spitting it out, Kanna slightly regretted it. What if he swung his sword like before just because she spoke arrogantly?

"That's what I said." 

However, rather than taking out his sword, Argon fought back. He naturally took a seat next to Kanna.

"I feel like a fool when it comes to you. You're so ignorant that it hurts my pride."

That sounded funny. Even though he already knows a lot about Kanna.

At that time, Argon took off his mask without warning. As his mask disappeared, a beautiful face that resembled Lady Theresa's was revealed.

"If it had nothing to do with that knight, why did you do that just now? Didn't you provoke me on purpose?"

"A provocation?"

"Huh. A jealousy-inducing operation, something like that."

"..."

This is a truly childish idea. Kanna was so shocked that she couldn't even laugh.

That wasn't the reason she rejected Claude.

'Because I still had something to talk about with Argon.'

In addition, she wanted to be grumpy at Claude, who followed him around without even saying a word.

"Think as you wish, Your Highness. By the way  Your Highness, you said you were curious, right?"

"Huh. So much so that I can't even sleep."

Argon nodded obediently. 

"Recently, I put off everything and just looked into you, but I couldn't find an answer."

"..."

"Like everyone else, your personality has suddenly changed, and I don't even know the origin of your amazing medical skills. I couldn't even find a clue as to how I got that knowledge."

Of course so. How would he know if her body was possessed by another person?

Argon smiled mischievously and said as if it were a joke.

"And I can't stand being curious even to death, Kanna."

Kanna knew that those words were sincere. He will try to uncover her secrets no matter what.

Maybe even by harming herself.

"So let's make some kind of deal. Deal, that's what Kanna likes, right?"

"..."

"You agree to a deal even with your damn family. Is there anything you can't do because it's me?"

Argon shrugged.

"You need the information guild's help. Use me. I assure you, there is no one like me anywhere on the continent."

"Is that so?"

"Of course. Now, look at this." 

He took something out of his arms.

"It is the status badge of the Kingdom of Yalden. Is that what you wanted?"

Kanna responded harshly.

"Where does this confidence that I want this come from?"

How did he know this? 

The plan for exile was a monologue in her mind!

"Kanna, you were caught trying to run away from home when you were young."

Argon continued calmly. 

"It seems like you're been trying in many ways to divorce Sylvien these days. It seems sincere to me."

It was unexpected. He said she sincerely wanted a divorce from Sylvien, but few people honestly believed it.

"You immediately requested a separate home from the Duke of Addis, but it was flatly rejected. That means you want to leave the two families, Valentino and Addis."

"..."

"If divorce and separation fail, I think you will try to run away like you used to. But you were too young back then and failed, right? Because you were captured by Sylvien."

Kanna was the first to react.

"I beg your pardon?"

"Huh?"

"What did you just say?"

"Sylvienne captured you and handed you over to Addis." 

She felt like she had been slapped in the face unexpectedly.

Kanna's head felt numb and her mouth felt empty. Kanna was completely speechless.

Sylvien?
