MY Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

After a while, Claude returned, dragging the unconscious high priest with him.

"You didn't show your face, right?"

"Do not worry. He'd think you were kidnapped by a middle-aged woman." 

"Ho so?"

"I altered my voice."

"..."

There were many things she wanted to ask, but Kanna pressed them down.

"What should I do? Shall I kill him?" 

"Stop saying you're going to cut him."

Kanna groaned, letting his joke slip through one ear.

"Is there somewhere on the island where I can hide him?"

"Well, I saw an abandoned cabin in the forest today. Should I hide him there?" 

"That's a good idea."

Kanna thought for a moment and then said.

"Pile him up full of rye bread and lock him up."

Claude closed his eyes.

"Rye bread?"

 "Yes. Rye bread."

Suddenly rye bread? Claude had an incomprehensible look on his face.

"And we will release him in a few days, around the time of the purification ceremony." 

"All right."

Claude couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.

"The villagers to whom the Duchess distributed food today."

"Yes, I know." 

"Are you possibly related?"

"They didn't have money, so they only ate food made from rye."

She knows, it's very relevant. However, instead of explaining, Kanna smiled secretly.

"I'm looking forward to it, Sir Claude. You will see something very interesting at the purification ceremony in a few days." 

As she said that, Kanna's eyes sparkled with malicious mischief, grumpiness, anticipation, and arrogance.

Claude was speechless for a moment at that childlike expression. Then she suddenly said something.

"It's good." 

"Yes?" 

"It's a good thing I hired you as an escort."

"What does it mean?" 

"I am saying thank you to Sir Kalen."

Claude fainted.

"It's fun. Very."

***

Several days passed and he still remembered it.

"I want to go home."

Home

"Let me go home!"

It's home.

Orsini recalled that day as he roughed his way through the grass.

In fact, after that night, there was hardly a moment when he didn't think back to that time.

Kanna, that bitter girl was crying, crying, desperately chasing something.

The scene continued from beginning to end and was played again and again.

Is it because it is a shocking scene? At that moment, it felt as if something in his head had been stabbed with a soldering iron. It makes him tingle every time he thinks about it.

Orsini swore in terrible discomfort.

"Why am I because of that bitch..."

Black Fog. It's not enough to focus on that damn phenomenon.

"Damn it."

Looking back on the places it has appeared so far, it appears to be most frequent in the northern forest.

So Orsini was mainly on guard there. Like now. 

He knew Kanna had been in trouble recently, but he snorted.

'What do you know? Eat it or something.'

Anyway, that girl doesn't even want any help. Didn't she reject the offer of help to get her out of prison in the past?

"I want to go home!"

But why?

"Let me go home."

Why does he keep thinking...

"Oh, shit."

Stand tall. Orsini stopped in his tracks.

What on earth was that damn bitch talking about?

Home?

She wants to go home?

No matter how much he thought about it, it didn't seem like the house he knew. It is not the Addis mansion or the Valentino mansion.

The house Kanna was talking about was a place he didn't know.

"There's a house I don't know about?"

It's probably a place so beautiful that it makes that stubborn girl cry. 

"That's terrible."

There is no way such a place exists for Kanna. No matter where she went her whole life, she would have been neglected.

Isn't Addis Mansion the place that has been treated the most recently? 

Kalen would be following her tail like a dog.

And yet what? 

She wants to go home?

Where on earth is that house?

Where does she want to go back?

Where is the place she wants to go back to so much that she chases after it even when it becomes such a mess? And...

"Wait, Oppa!"

As soon as the thought reached that point, Orsini burst out laughing. Discomfort burned like a fever.

No matter who heard it, it was the nuance of calling a lover. And most likely, that damned brother isn't Sylvien.

'You had an affair with a child other than Sylvien?' 

Everything falls to pieces.

The faces of Kanna Valentino and Kanna Addis, whom he had known for a long time, were broken into pieces. Her shattered portrait was no longer the person he knew.

"Orsini, are you back?" 

When he returned to the mansion, the Lord welcomed him. Orsini tried to pass by.

"There will be a purification ceremony tomorrow."

The Lord spoke from behind him. 

'Whatever.'

Orsini scoffed. He walked without even slowing down his pace.

'If things go wrong, you'll be hung upside down from a tree and burned at the stake.'

Is Kanna hanging upside down from a tree?

'It would be worth seeing.'

He thought about Kanna.

Recent Kanna. A nasty girl who mocked, insulted, and made fun of him. He's so annoyed he can't stand it.

But why?

"What's going on, Orsini?"

"..."

"Why did you come here?"

Annoying eyes.

I didn't understand why he came even though he knew she would be looked at like this.

***

'What? Why did you come all of a sudden?'

Kanna did not hide her displeasure.

She was just about to go to sleep when Orsini suddenly opened the door and came in.

"What time is it when you come visit me?"

"..."

"Where did you learn the etiquette of coming in without knocking?"

What, why isn't he answering?

He just glares at her fearfully and doesn't open his mouth. What on earth is happening that causes that?

'Why bother doing that?'

To be honest, Kanna didn't even wonder what it was for. 

"It's late. I'm going to sleep. If you have anything to say, say it later."

However, he doesn't even flinch and just glares at her.

Kanna felt like she would have a nightmare if she left him alone, so she got up from the bed. As she stood in front of the door, she shoved her palm on his shoulder.

"Get out."

At least pretend to be pushed, please.

No matter how much I push, it doesn't budge like a stone statue. 

"Orsini, you don't seem to notice, but I'm pushing you back as hard as I can. Do you know what that means?" 

Kanna smiled brightly.

"It means get out of my room." 

At that time, Orsini grabbed Kanna's arm as he pushed her away. 

Is he trying to catch her?

Kanna braced her arms to hold on, but it was a meaningless attempt.

Orsini grabbed her wrist and lifted it upward. The movement was so flowing and natural that it felt like he was lifting a cotton doll from his shoulder. Then he spread his fingers and dropped them in the air.

"..."

Kanna lowered her arms in a strange sense of humiliation. After all, he is the guy who bent the iron bars like taffy sticks.

"Hey." 

Then, Orsini's lips finally opened. Kanna responded bluntly.

"Why?"

"You."

"..."

'Okay, tell me.'

Kanna crossed her arms and waited for his words.

'But why don't you say something again?'

Why is he doing this?
