SPMB - Chapter 111

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

That night, Kanna took the best cabin on the ship. Maybe that's why she had a very good dream.

"It's Joo-hwa."

Yeon-woo appeared in my dream.

It had been a long time since Kanna had dreamed of him, so a bitter joy came over me. A man she once really liked. But now he has a man she will never see again, she said.

"Joo-hwa, let's talk."

So, he was talking to 'Joo-Hwa'.

"We're not going to end this easily. It's not like you to do this."

Longing for the object in front of him flickered in his light brown eyes.

"Why have you turned into someone else?"

When Kanna saw Yeon-woo's pale complexion, her heart ached. Although they may never meet again, I hope that you will always be happy. 

At that time, her lips opened.

"You are not the man I love."

What a cold voice Kanna felt like she was going to die from heartache, but in her dream, Joo-hwa was extremely cold.

Joo-hwa was spat out as if it were a death sentence.

"So get out."

***

Huh!

Suddenly, her eyes opened. Kanna stood up straight away. Her heart was beating wildly and cold sweat was forming on her forehead.

'Dream...?'

Yes, it's a dream.

'I thought it was a good dream.' 

But it was a fucking nightmare. Kanna buried her face in her hands and let out a trembling breath. She can't believe she had such a strange dream...

"Duchess, are you awake?"

At that moment, Kanna almost screamed. Someone was leaning against the wall!

"You..."

Kanna's eyes trembled as she checked the other person. 

"Sir Jerome?"

Why is this person here?

Kanna swallowed. Hiding her surprise, she answered as calmly as she could.

"Why are you here? I thought you'd be in jail by now." 

Then he laughed very slyly. 

"I guess you're not happy with me."

"No one would be happy to have a thug break in while they were sleeping."

Although she spoke calmly, her head turned quickly.

What about Sir Claude?'

He is in the room next to her. Looking back on the escort so far, there is no way that Jerome would not have noticed the intrusion.

But why isn't he coming?

No, maybe he is waiting for the right time to come in...

"Was it Sir Claude? It would be no use waiting for the knight."

At that time, Jerome spoke as if he had read Kanna's thoughts.

 "A black fog has blocked his room."

"What?"

"He'll be blocked by black fog like this room and you won't be able to get out." 

He pointed to the door. A black haze was billowing through the slanted door.

That's, maybe...

"Black fog......?"

"Yes, that's right."

A moan bubbled up from Kanna's throat.

"Did you make it like that?" 

"Yes. Surprisingly, we finally succeeded in getting it under control."

It was an unbelievable story. Controlling the black fog, is that even possible? She heard that black fog is a natural phenomenon?

Doubts cluttered her mind and ruined it. But even then, her fingers were moving steadily. Under the pillow. And she drew the attention of the opponent so that she could not see the movement. 

"You are the Black Apostle."

"Yes. That's right."

Suddenly, the tip of her finger touched the glass bottle. Kanna continued talking.

"What about Miss Rachel? Could Miss Rachel be a Black Apostle?"

"No. Rachel was just a paranoid person." 

Damn it, my fingertip slipped and the vial was pushed out!

'Please, please get caught.'

A self-defense drug hidden under the pillow just in case. The drug that caused Orsini to faint was a poison that caused terrible pain, burning the flesh the moment it touched the target.

"I've always wanted to talk to the Duchess, but there are so many people interrupting me."

Just a little more, just a little more.

"Now we're alone." 

Just a little bit...

"We can finally have a proper conversation."

Got it!

Kanna tightly squeezed the glass bottle. With her thumb, she pushed the cork off the vial and smiled crookedly.

"Do not be ridiculous. Why am I talking to you?"

"I'm not asking for the Duchess consent..."

Now!

Kanna sprayed the drug on his chest. 

Sigh! 

Jerome lowered his head with a puzzled look as his collar got wet all at once.

"What now...?" 

The pain came quickly. A sizzling, terrible pain of burning flesh penetrated his chest!

"Keu, keuheook!" 

Jerome bent down, clutching his chest. Kanna did not miss the opportunity. She lifted the lamp on the nightstand and hit him hard on the head.

Clink! 

Pieces of glass shattered and Jerome's body fell.

“Heo-eok, heo-eok.”

Kanna looked down at him as he collapsed, out of breath. Is he dead or passed out? 

It doesn't move anymore.

"Damn, what a piece of trash..."

She tried to turn around and leave.

"Oh, damn it."

Outside the door was filled with black fog. When you're in a situation where you can't move forward or back down, and you're filled with swearing.

“Krrr...”

A strange breathing sound was heard. Right in front of her.

The moment sh3 instinctively stepped back, almost immediately something very large came out of the fog.

"..."

For a moment, Kanna was out of breath. Monster. Although it was her first time seeing it, there was no doubt that it was a monster.

It was huge, reaching up to the ceiling, its skin was completely black as if it had been scorched by fire, and bright red blood was dripping from its pin-like teeth.

Whose blood does it belong to?

“Krrrr, Crrr, Crrr.”

A monster walked into the room. Kanna took a step back, holding her breath. And then suddenly, she stopped only after her back hit the wall. 

"Krrr....."

The monster stops in front of her. And he stretched out her hand like a huge weapon. Just before the blood-soaked hand touched her neck.

"Ah...!"

Crack. The monster's body convulsed loudly, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking. Kanna slowly lowered her gaze. And then she saw something very bizarre.

A human hand stuck out like a bar through the monster's stomach. The moment Kanna froze, her hand slipped away. Then the monster's body collapsed like a doll with its strings cut.

Thud! 

The cabin vibrated violently.

Kanna lifted her head, exhaling her tight breath all at once. And then she made eye contact with her partner.

"Madam, are you okay?"

Suddenly, this situation felt like a dream. Is it because of his calm face even in this chaos? Or maybe it was because he was an unexpected person.

"Are you hurt anywhere?"

Raphael asked politely as always.

"Raphael...?"

"Yes, Ma'am." 

The polite answer was so unrealistic. Raphael, the hand that pierced the monster, the monster. These three things did not fit together at all. Kanna felt a terrible sense of disconnection as if she had been forced to fit into a misaligned framework.

At that time...

"Ugh..."

Jerome, who had collapsed, regained consciousness with a groan. He staggered to her feet. 

"Ugh, ugh, ah, it hurts... it hurts! Damn it, ugh!"

He glared at Kanna with murderous eyes.

"You, bitch...!"

Wow! 

Jerome was speechless. Raphael's hand grabbed his neck. Lift him up.

"Ugh, wow!" 

"Ma'am, I'm sorry, but would you please close your eyes?"

What a polite request. It was an unbelievable voice from a person violently strangling someone.

Overwhelmed by the intimidating feeling of that terrible foreignness, Kanna obediently closed her eyes. 

Ttuduk!

Almost immediately, the sound of something breaking roughly was heard. And then silence fell.

"You can open your eyes now."

"..."

Kanna cautiously opened her eyes. Raphael was looking at her again. Jerome, probably 'under.' He will be neatly wrapped around the monster's corpse.

Raphael said calmly. 

"I put the dinghy under the bow."

Then, he shakes off the monster blood dripping from his fingertips. Like something he has done my whole life, familiarly.

"If you follow me, you will be safe even in the fog, so follow closely..."

At that time, Raphael's words stopped.

"..."

He lowered his head. And saw Kanna's hand holding his wrist tightly. 

"Raphael."

At that call, his eyes turned to Kanna's face again. She was looking up with her very earnest eyes.

"Sir Claude is in the next room. Maybe he's not infected yet."

Kanna whispered in a quiet voice.

"Can you take him with you?"

"..."

"Please do me a favor."

Raphael paused. He paused for a moment and opened his mouth. A low voice came back.

"You don't have to ask. You just have to give orders."

Why? 

Kanna was under the absurd illusion that Raphael had been waiting for this moment. However, it was a line that could not be stopped. 

"It's an order."

Immediately Raphael bowed his waist. Very politely, like a faithful servant who has obeyed his whole life.

"I will follow."
