SPMB - Chapter 101

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

Kanna hurriedly opened the window for poor Claude.

"Sir Claude, come in."

"Excuse me."

Claude entered the room without hesitation. From head to toe, there wasn't a single area that wasn't wet.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sir Claude." 

"It was nothing."

Claude wiped his wet hair with the towel given by Kanna. Then he shook his head like a puppy and shook the water away.

"Duchess."

"Yes?"

"The lord's daughter."

"Yes."

"Shall I kill her?"

"Are you saying that again?"

"Yes. If you're worried about cleaning up afterward, there's no need to be. We can handle it without anyone knowing."

Why does he keep cutting me so often? Kanna categorically refused. 

"No. I am okay."

"Then how about cutting out that damn tongue? It was difficult to listen to." 

Claude spoke his truth with a very calm expression. 

"How dare you say something like that to the daughter of the lord of a rural island village? I see... Let's do it."

"Of course. If Lord Kalen finds out about this, he won't keep quiet."

Those were harsh words that did not go well with his boyish, innocent face. He suggested with a bright smile. 

"So, how about cutting out RacheI's tongue? It's proof that I'm a good escort."

"Don't joke."

Slowly, his jokes and seriousness began to be distinguished. Maybe that last statement was a joke.

"I'm serious."

"..."

Nope. She meant it.

"There's no need for that. That woman will destroy herself anyway."

 A little while ago, Kanna gave Rachel one last chance. She was given a chance to hear the truth, and a chance to take matters into her own hands.

"There's no need to show such kindness to the woman who tried to burn me by hanging me upside down on a tree.'

So now it's over. Kanna planned to carry out the work as planned. 

"Sir Claude." 

"Yes?"

"What happened to what I asked you to do?" 

"Of course, it was done perfectly."

Claude gave a triumphant thumbs up.

"As the Duchess ordered, we have delivered food to the villagers suffering from mania. They were very happy."

"Is it so?"

"Yes. The residents of Palen Island were generally poor. From what I heard, it is said that the Lord monopolized all commercial activities that could make money, including fishing and fish farms." 

"Okay, thank you. Thank you for your hard work."

Kanna expressed her sincere gratitude. 

Claude Azel. Kanna was really glad she brought the escort driver that Kalen gave her as a gift.

'Kalen Addis, I really need to praise you for this.'

Who knew it could be so useful? In the past, this would have been something she would have had to do all by herself. 

'Sir Claude worked hard in the rain instead of me.'

Then there was a knock on the door. As Kanna looked at the door, Claude spoke quietly.

"He is the high priest."

Kanna gave a suspicious look. Claude knows that without even checking?

"Hmm. Can I come in for a moment, Ma'am?"

The high priest's cough was heard outside. He was truly a high priest.

"What's? Did you put an eye on the door?" 

As Kanna exclaimed, Claude playfully narrowed one eye as if it were no big deal.

"But what is going on? It's too late to visit your lady."

At his grumbling, Kanna checked his pocket watch. 10 o'clock at night. As he said, it was not the right time to visit the opposite sex's bedroom.

But Kanna accepted.

"Come on in."

Suddenly, as if he had been waiting, the door opened and the high priest came in.

"Good evening, Duchess."

"Hello, High Priest. What are you doing this late at night?"

"I came here because I was worried about the Duchess. You looks like you're going to feel dizzy and start crying."

Then he glanced at Claude and politely requested.

"If it's okay with you, could you please step down as an escort? I have something very important to tell you, madam." 

It's probably similar to Rachel's.

"Sir Claude, please out."

When Kanna winked, Claude left the room without saying a word.

The moment the door closed, the corners of the high priest's mouth went up. 

"That's right, the other guy is in the way."

The high priest slowly approached Kanna and began to pray.

"I heard about it from Miss Rachel."

"Are you saying that she can feel demon energy?"

"Yes, that's right. You must have been very surprised to suddenly hear such a story."

"No."

Kanna smiled politely.

"Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine."

"..."

"Any other business?"

It was an answer that drew a clear line.

The high priest was taken aback by her ironclad attitude. He didn't expect such a cold response.

'Why are you so calm? Isn't it normal to be scared?'

If she had listened to Rachel's warning, she would have been shaking with fear by now, right? Why not?

If something goes wrong, Kanna is hung upside down from a tree and burned at the stake. This was not a malicious threat, nor was it something that happened to someone else in a faraway country. 

It is actually an annual event that takes place on this island. So, there is no way there is someone who would not be scared after hearing this story.

'Are you believing in your status as a Duchess?' 

Rachel's decision was made with the approval of the high priest. Otherwise, she would not have dared to raise suspicions about the Duchess from the Empire.

'It's a good thing for me in many ways.'

Kanna Valentino's maiden name is Kanna Addis.

If the daughter of the Addis family were the Black Apostle, the power of the Addis family, or Orsini, would not be as strong as it is now.

'If he falls, he will be properly punished.'

That big grip hit him. He will cut off that unholy hand that hit her again and again until her cheeks are swollen and her lips are bursting.

Of course, that was not the only benefit the high priest gained.

He liked beautiful women. A lot.

"There is no need to act strong in front of me, Duchess. You must be very worried right now."

If he comforts her when she is weak and coaxes her into believing that he can save her with the authority of the high priest.

'Of course, she will come over.'

Kanna was the most fascinating and gorgeous woman he had ever seen. He just couldn't get over it without touching it.

"I am a full-time priest who was born and raised at the temple. I am closer to God than anyone else in this world."

The high priest subtly stretched out his hand and placed it on the back of Kanna's hand.

"At least I have a stronger say than the Lord's daughter, who is considered a Saintess by the village residents."

The moment Kanna touched the chubby fingers, she almost vomited.

She warned, suppressing disgust.

"Please take this hand away, High Priest."

"You'd better think about it before you answer, Duchess."

The high priest laughed and held Kanna's hand tighter. His palms were slippery with sweat.

"I can save the Duchess from danger."

Then he rubbed the back of Kanna's hand with his sausage-thick thumb.

With disgusting hands, the back of his hand. 

"So rely on me. I am..."

The moment his hand subtly touches her waist. 

Pop.

Something snapped in her head. Kanna roughly shook his hand away.

Wow!

"..."

The back of the high priest's hand, which had been beaten, became hot.

He looked down at the back of his hand blankly, then slowly raised his head and looked at Kanna. At once he saw a spark in his eyes.

"How dare you lay your hands on the high priest's body, madam?"

She knew she shouldn't have hit the high priest, but Kanna didn't regret it one bit.

She might be able to tolerate cockroaches or centipedes, but she can't tolerate those disgusting hands. Just die.

"You were the high priest who touched my body first."

"What?"

"I know that the common sense and rules of the Great God Temple are different from those of the Empire, but you must adhere to the minimum moral standards. How dare you carelessly touch the body of a married woman."

Then the high priest let out a harsh laugh.

"I felt sorry for your pitiful situation and tried to save you. I never thought this kind of neglect would come back!"

"Salvation?"

Kanna let out a naked sneer.

"If being physically close to the high priest is salvation, I would rather fall into hell."

"What!"

The high priest's face turned red.

"Are you insulting me now?"

"High priest, please don't insult me!”

When she shouted, the high priest flinched as if he was surprised. Kanna shot him a death glare.

"High priest, you dared to touch my body. Is everyone like that in the temple? I will officially complain about this to the Great Hall!"

"..."

The high priest's nose trembled after being verbally beaten.

'Where is the girl screaming so loudly!'

Kanna thought he would be restless in a crisis, but instead of being discouraged, he was running wild like a colt!

"Get out of my room right now. I don't want to talk to you anymore, High Priest!"

"I am going to protest this. I will never forget this humiliation!" 

The high priest suddenly turned and left the room. 

Bang! 

The door closed as if broken.

"..."

Kanna sat down at the bedside. She felt like a storm had passed.

What on earth is this? 

'Damn it, I can't believe I'm fighting with the high priest at this time.'

 Even so, Rachel is talking nonsense about Magic, etc., and it would be difficult to get into trouble with the High Priestess at a time like this.

But it has already gone wrong. Of course, she has no intention of turning back.

"Sir Claude."

Suddenly. As if waiting to be called, the window opened. Claude came in with his usual smiling face. Unfortunately, he was drenched in rain again.

"Order, Duchess."

Kanna looked tired and nodded toward the door the high priest had exited. 

"Catch him and knock him out."

"Shall I kill him?"

"No, just catch him."
