SPMB - Chapter 117

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

Kanna traced back her memories of the time she ran away from home. A tall man whose face was hidden behind a hood lifted her up like a burden and carried her on his shoulders. And he handed her over to the Addis family.

That was Sylvien.

"I thought that if you ran away from home,  you would try to escape this empire so that it could not be easily found, and of course, you would go to the Kingdom of Yalden."

Argon sighed. It was as if he had looked into her mind.

"Yalden is the country with the highest rights for women on the Western Continent. Since you are a talented doctor, you will be able to achieve success there even if you start without any connections. There is no country better for you than there. Is not it?"

Kanna didn't answer.

Argon Isaberg. It's like a perfect stranger with whom she has never even exchanged a few words.

'You know me well._

At least in this world, there is no one who understands herself better than Argon. To her surprise, he did.

That level of information-gathering ability, insight into the other person's psychology, and the ability to draw conclusions, maybe.

'I might come to investigate my father completely.'

But Argon is the brother of Cassil, that damn Prince. Could it be that he holds a grudge against her?

"I cannot trust you, Your Highness."

"Why?"

"You are the brother of His Highness Prince Cassil."

Argon then frowned as if displeased.

"Don't get involved with that vulgar bastard."

"Well, maybe His Majesty the Emperor ordered it. Please find out the weakness of the cheeky Kanna Valentino who put His Highness Prince Cassil in a corner."

Then Argon burst out laughing and waved his hands. 

"You're worrying for no reason. I'm a loser. You did not know?"

"I have no idea what kind of person Your Highness is."

"Hmm."

"So you can't do anything without proof that it won't harm me."

"It's evidence."

Argon leaned back. He tilted his head sideways.

"I'll give you anything." 

His eyes sparkled magically.

"So ask for it."

Kanna stared at him in silence. This is what happened anyway, should she take an adventure? 

"What about the blood certificate?"

"Blood oath?"

"Didn't you just call me a traitor?"

"Huh."

"If you give me the blood oath with those words as collateral, I will believe you, Your Highness."

Argon's eyebrows stiffened for a moment. It was such an unconventional demand. A proposal that crossed the line to the point where a sword might be wielded. 

'So it's an adventure...'

But she can't help it. Because she refuses to be a piece of meat to be unilate rally bitten off by him.

"Alchemists who use magic stones say they can trace the owner through blood. So, please leave a letter with clear evidence that it was written by His Highness."

There was silence.

Kanna put on a calm face and waited for his decision. Argon was staring at Kanna, thinking deeply about something about her.

Is he wondering whether to kill or save? 

"Good idea."

Finally, his lips opened.

"And it's a very cheeky idea."

He took a folded piece of paper out of his jacket pocket. After unfolding it, he placed it on the table.

"I brought it because I thought I might need to write a contract, and it just so happened to be good."

He cut his thumb with the dagger in one go. Drops of dark red blood fell down. He wrote with blood.

<God, please destroy the corrupt Isaberg royal family. Argon Isaberg, I beg you in my name.>

"What do you think of my immoral remark? Do you like it?"

Argon licked up the blood flowing down to his wrist. He smiled with red-stained lips.

"If you like something, you should praise it, Kanna."

The water level was much higher than expected. Although she felt a bit of pressure, Kanna smiled with satisfaction.

"Yes. I will trust you now."

Argon burst out laughing at those words. And he said.

"Now you hold my lifeline. But it is only treated as evidence of faith. I didn't know the price of my life would be so light."

The moment this blood oath enters the Emperor, Argon is put to death. It was a high treason that could not be forgiven even if it was a relative.

In other words, Argon risked his life in exchange for satisfying his curiosity. As expected, he was out of his mind.

"To ask the Prince for something like this, you must have multiple lives. If it had been anyone else, I would have cut off his head."

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Highness." 

"You have to speak clearly. It's not mercy, it's favor, Kanna."

This isn't a bad deal. Kanna evaluated it that way. She was in a position where she could have been bitten by a crazy dog named Argon, but she kept her leash at least like this.

"So are you going to tell me now?"

"Of course. If you successfully completed my request."

"Good. What do you want?"

"Alessandro Addis, please investigate my father. Everything he has done from the moment I was born until now."

Kanna quickly added. 

"It's because I want to know who my mother is. She is a very mysterious person, so if you investigate my father, you might be able to get some clues."

She meant it. In addition, it was also a justification in case this matter reached the ears of others.

Isn't it natural for an illegitimate child who doesn't know her mother to seek out her roots?

However, Argon was a person who did not care about the client's intentions from the beginning. 

"Okay. Believe me."

"Yes. I will believe you, Your Highness. Please find out more about my father."

Kanna added firmly.

"Everything about Alessandro Addis."

***

After completing the contract with Argon, Kanna left the terrace with him. And they danced again as if showing off. It was a direction aimed at Claude.

'I'm sure he's watching somewhere by now." 

He will report this to Kalen. He was pretending to be dating to avoid her suspicions.

"Can I smoke?"

As Argon put a long pipe to his mouth, Kanna smiled.

"Of course. But I hate smelly things."

"I don't want to smoke. Then, would you like to have a drink?"

"I don't even like the smell of alcohol."

"Then juice?"

"That's okay."

"It's a child's taste. Cute."

"You're being rude to a Lady like a child."

They spent the time whispering and pretending to have such trivial conversations in a friendly manner.

To anyone who could see it, it looked like a date.

***

Argon personally sent Kanna off to the front of the house.

Inside the mansion, Claude follows to say. He's probably trying to apologize or make an excuse.

However, Kanna did not pretend to know and went into the bedroom.

'I'm not particularly angry at Claude.'

A few days later, Kalen and Orsini returned. From what Kanna heard, it was said that nothing happened on Palen Island.

"That's because Jerome is gone.' 

They will also know because they heard the news from Raphael and Claude. That Jerome was a black apostle and controlled the black fog.

And that he tried to harm Kanna.

"Sister, this is Kalen. Can I come in?"

"It's difficult now. I'm busy so come back later." 

Kalen Addis, the shameful guy who deceived himself. And he must have already received the full report from Claude. He might be thinking of nagging her after hearing that she enjoyed a secret meeting with Prince Argon at the masked ballroom.

But that wasn't the reason Kanna refused his visit. There is work to do now.

A messenger was sent from the Valentino family. Kanna received the letter handed to her by the messenger and read it.

<I would like to file divorce documents. There are some things we need to meet and agree on, so please tell me a possible date.>

And the words attached to it.

<I understand that Ms. Kanna has been very busy with social activities recently. So, if you tell me how much time you have left, I will save it for you.>

Is it because of her mood? It seemed strangely sarcastic.

'Surely you heard the story about me pretending to date Argon?"

But she soon shook her head.

'Is there anything wrong with Sylvien? It's my mood."

Of course, he wouldn't even care what she does with other men. Kanna scoffed and immediately scribbled her reply.

<I'll see you tomorrow at noon.>

Finally we got the divorce after 100+ chapter 😅
