SPMB - Chapter 98

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

Is she crying?

Is that poisonous girl crying?

Kanna hadn't shown a single tear since they were reunited.

Even though she was imprisoned, she tried to bite with her fierce eyes, but she didn't have a weak spot...

That woman like that is now crying so pitifully.

Why? Orsinib felt like he had seen a secret that should never be seen. Kanna, that poisonous snake would never, even if she died, doesn't want to show herself to others like that.

But she looked at it and threw it away.

"Brother!"

At that time, Kanna ran away again.

But, what? Oppa?

"Oppa! Seon-hong, come with me!" 

She runs and says a name Orsini doesn't recognize. Orsini approached her and seized her.

"Let go, let go!"

Kanna stared as if she was looking at a monster. She didn't recognize me.

"Let me go home!"

Kanna shakes off Orsini and runs once again. 

"Don't leave me. Don't go!"

And then, in the end, she can't resist and falls down.

Orsini quietly watched the scene.

The image of someone desperately chasing someone, but ultimately failing, or giving up and sitting down. The way she cried out wanting to go home but couldn't in the end.

She looks so lonely.

Orsini pulled Kanna up.

Kanna obediently surrendered herself to his power this time. She doesn't resist and goes into his arms. Then she seemed to have fallen asleep soon, with her head down and breathing regularly.

A bitch like a double head.

"Mom..."

Why is she looking for her mother? Why is she looking for her family? She is a lonely girl since she was born.

Yes, she is alone. All she has is a mean stepmother, an indifferent father, a cruel brother and sister, and a cold husband. 

Kannq lived like that her whole life. However...

“Lord Orsini.”

Orsini raised his head. It was only then that Claude appeared. 

"Has she been like this since the mansion?"

"Yes."

Orsini said, glaring at Claude as if he were going to kill him. 

"You didn't see anything."

"Of course. Even if it's for the Duchess's honor."

Claude answered smoothly.

***

Kanna thinks she fell asleep like that. When she opened her eyes again, Kanna was lying in an unfamiliar bed.

When she opened my eyes again, Kanna was lying in an unfamiliar bed.

Kanna stared blankly at the narrow ceiling, then lowered her gaze to the crackling fireplace.

"..."

Next to the fireplace, Orsini was asleep, leaning against the wall.

What is a dream?

Right now at this moment?

Or not... The moment she went crazy?

Probably both are real.

Kanna looked down at her body. The dress, which was covered in mud, was still wet. It seemed like that guy had thrown her on the bed and told her not to know.

'Well, it's Orsini, but he's kind enough to do that.'

There can be no kindness such as calling someone to change their clothes or wiping away rainwater.

Kanna walked up to Orsini and squatted down on the tip of his long, outstretched legs.

Then she touched the floor next to his leg with her fingertip.

Orsini slowly raised his head. Our eyes met.

"..."

The flickering scarlet light melted onto her skin. Orsini seemed to have stopped breathing for some reason.

Kanna quietly stared into his eyes and then grinned.

"Isn't it nice?"

"... Okay."

Orsini swallowed and raised the corners of his mouth. 

"It's a shame I saw it alone. Everyone should have seen you go crazy like a crazy bitch. I should have just left it alone. Then people would have discovered it soon."

"I'm regretting doing that."

Orsini said with a sigh.

"And if you come to your senses, why don't you stop being like that gutter rat? There is a bathroom at the back door."

"Huh, okay. I would appreciate it if you could get me some changes of clothes."

"... Damn bitch."

Leaving Orsini's grumbling behind, Kanna entered the bathroom.

***

When she came out after taking a bath, there was a dress hanging on the doorknob.

'Where did you get it this early in the morning?'

Kanna was curious, but she felt like her debt would increase if she found out, so she just said thank you.

"Thank you."

Kanna can't believe the day will come when she will say these words to Orsini. However, being thankful is being thankful, Kanna said clearly.

"Thanks to you, I survived, Orsini."

Orsini was sitting in the rocking chair, glaring fiercely at her.

"Where am I?"

"Motel."

"I see."

Kanna knew why she came here.

If Kanna wakes up again and goes crazy, everyone will know, so she came here. 

'Yes, because that would have made things really annoying. Orsini probably didn't want to see it like that.'

Kanna sat down in front of the fireplace and warmed herself by the fire.

"Is this it?" 

Kanna mumbled and then burst into laughter. Giggling, Kanna asked with a smile.

"That madness that the villagers say they suffer from?"

"Okay."

Orsini said quietly.

"Some of my knights went through the same thing."

"I see."

"This island is crazy."

"Yes, that's right. It's really strange."

Kanna thought about the madness she had experienced.

'Rather than mania, it was a hallucination symptom. Auditory hallucinations. All kinds of fantastic things appeared before her. She made herself cry and laugh.'

If she had continued to pursue that fantasy, it seemed like heavenly pleasure would have been waiting for him.

'He probably had a vision of returning home."

Lying on the sofa, chatting with Mom and Dad, kicking Seon-hong, stroking Ttoto, texting with my lover, and drinking a cold beer all the time.

Then she would have fallen asleep because she was happy.

Kanna smiled bitterly.

"Orsini, haven't you been through this?"

"Okay."

"That's strange. Some people go through it, some don't..."

What's the difference?

As Rachel said, is the Black Apostle manipulating evil spirits? That's a demon?

Although he showed me a vision, she could not sense any malice in it.

If it's the Black Apostle, shouldn't it make them do something a little more evil?

Get drunk on illusions and plunder, commit crimes, or do things that help the Black Apostles.

'And everyone's vision is different.'

Some flew like birds, some turned into fish and swam in the sea, and some danced with a scarecrow in the area field.

On the contrary, I felt very good...

'Wait for a second.'

For a moment, a flash of light passed through my mind. No way.

Could this phenomenon be...

"Who is your brother?"

Orsini asked Kanna, who was deep in thought.

"What kind of cub runs after you, crying like a fool?"

"..."

Kanna's face turned red. She can tolerate other things, but it was a bit embarrassing to have it discovered.

Orsini's eyebrows furrowed as he saw her reddened cheeks. Then he let out an unpleasant laugh and spoke. 

"What the fuck are you doing? It's sick."

"Shut up! Shut up!" 

"And what, Seon-hong? Who is thar Seon-hong? If Seon-hong hears this, he will be angry."

"Never mind. You're not interested in other people's fantasies."

"Fantasy?"

"Okay. I saw a vision. I wasn't possessed by the Black Apostle."

Although she went through great hardships, she realized what was strange thanks to it.

There is something to be said about why this vision was seen and why mania is spreading in the village.

It was then. Claude opened the door and came in.

"Duchess? You're awake."

His hands were full of Kanna's things. He seemed to have gathered up Kanna's belongings that she had left behind at the manor house.

"Sir Claude."

"Yes, Ma'am."

Kanna stared into Claude's bright sky-blue eyes.

Even though she was going crazy after seeing the vision, he obeyed and let her go when he was told to.

'You listen very well.'

Kanna took a moment to choose what to say. But she couldn't say anything.

Kanna was about to say, 

"Don't follow orders that you objectively should reject," 

But quit.

Because this won't happen again anyway.

"You're here just in time."

Kanna stood up.

"Sir Claude, there is something you must do for me."
