SPMB - Chapter 80

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

"Lady Isabella and Duchess Valentino were chatting. It was just the two of them on the bridge."

Kaleyna Mercy, who had always been enemies with Isabelle, did not miss this opportunity.

"The pond bridge isn't narrow enough to cause you to trip and fall, but there's something strange about it."

Although there were no railings, it was very wide so there was no risk of falling unless someone intentionally pushed. But Kanna was missing. Why? 

"Ah, I heard you had a heated argument with the Lady of Addis. I could hear the sound up to here. What did they say? I think I heard the word maiden."

'You are doing well. Lady Mercy.'

Kanna secretly cheered for Kaleyna.

'I heard you don't normally get along with Isabelle, but you're helping me like this.'

Kallen's face turned red. He glared at Isabelle.

"Oh, no!"

Isabelle shook her head hastily and held out her forearm. 

"I didn't push. Instead, Kanna pushed me. Look at this! Kanna pushed me like this..."

"Get home now, Isabelle Addis."

Kallen commanded, suppressing his anger.

"Let's talk at home. Go back now."

Isabelle's lips trembled in shock. It was her first time seeing Kallen's face like that. It's as if his eyes are glaring at his enemy!

Isabelle was so sad that she wanted to cry. But her instincts warned her. We must not go against Kalen now.

As Isabelle left, whimpering, Kallen turned his gaze back to Kanna.

"Sister."

A face that has turned completely white. Seeing her drenched in water and passed out reminded him of a scene he had standing in the rain not long ago.

Throb.

A pain rose in his chest.

'How many times do I have to see this?'

A few months ago, Kanna returned home, blood dripping from her shoulder, and she fainted.

That was the beginning. She was brutally assaulted in the greenhouse by Josephine Eleister, almost hunted by Prince Cassil, and almost died shivering in the rain after being ignored by himself, and now...

Now, after being bullied by Isabelle, she fell into the pond.

 'Poor sister.' 

Kanna looked like an abandoned fawn. A poor deer abandoned by its mother and shedding thick tears alone. Animals with malicious intent are rampaging around, and she is always attacked one-sidedly.

'No, now you have me.'

To his sister, there is only him. So, he will protect Kanna so that no one can treat her carelessly again.

Kallen made that decision. He stared at the man who had taken Kanna out of the pond.

"Thank you for saving my sister."

And he held out his arms as if asking for it to be returned.

"We will clarify the case later. Now please hand your sister over to me."

Then the man holding Kanna laughed.

"It's a case."

The voice was like a light breeze. But it passed over Kanna's head like a typhoon.

'Why, why are you...?'

At that moment, her body in that arms began to feel extremely uncomfortable.

She never thought it was him!

"I don't need other people's examples to save my wife."

Sylvien Valentino said with a smile. This may be obvious to some, but to Kalen, it sounded like blatant sarcasm. His eyes were cold and frozen.

"Please return my sister."

"Do you want her back?"

Sylvien tilted his head as if puzzled.

"You are saying very strange things. Lord Kallen Addis. It's as if I stole something from Lord Kallen."

"In this banquet, I was her escort. So it's right for me to take responsibility."

"Nothing is more important than a spouse's responsibilities. I will accept it with gratitude."

'What are you saying, you crazy guy! Just hand me over to Kalen!'

Kanna wanted to shout that. She hated them both, but Kalen was much better than being held by Sylvien!

What on earth is this bastard thinking?

Was he just having fun making Kallen angry? 

"Besides, what can Lord Kallen do now?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"What my wife needs most right now is to change her clothes and clean herself. The best she can do is leave it to her maids."

Sylvien laughed with a very strange meaning.

"But I can do it with my own hands."

This... Crazy guy...

Kanna's face burned brightly. She doesn't know why this is happening, but one thing is clear.

'This bastard is out of his mind.'

Otherwise, there is no way he would treat her as his 'wife' in a place where everyone can hear.

"I will go into a separate room and take care of my wife. Please tell the doctor to come over there."

Sylvien walked leisurely while holding Kanna in his arms. Immediately, the people's murmur spread.

As expected, the couple's relationship has improved, and the Duchess of Valentino finally seems to be receiving love, stories like this. Kallen stood silently among the whispers.

He felt a tingling pain, so he unconsciously looked down and saw his clenched fist. He applied so much force that his nails dug into his palms.

Kallen looked down at his palm with an expressionless face.

"..."

He didn't feel well. It was very dirty.

***

"Fortunately, there is nothing wrong. It looks like you lost consciousness for a moment due to the impact of the fall, so there's nothing to worry about."

After completing the diagnosis, the doctor left the room.

'Are you going now too?'

Kanna waited with an anxious heart. She hopes Sylvien goes too. Please turn it off.

Drrrr! 

Kanna heard Sylvien pull the chair up next to her bed and sit down.

'Don't sit down, don't sit down!'

Kanna was startled and slowly opened her eyes. Sylvien crossed his long legs, revealing his toned ankles beneath the hem of his pants.

'It's done, can you go now? Why are you sitting down?'

Contrary to what he had boasted to Kalen, he did not clean Kanna directly.

Of course, she didn't think he would do that.

Kanna just suspected that he had developed a strange hobby of teasing Kalen.

'Sadist? Is it something like that?' 

How can she know Sylvien's true feelings?

He simply called a maid to clean Kanna's body and put on new clothes. Meanwhile, he had also changed into new clothes.

'Then can you call Kalen now or just leave?'

Kanna doesn't want to talk to Sylvien. So Kanna continued to pretend to have fainted.

'It's awkward to talk about."

The last time she saw him was at the courthouse. Kanna secretly did something behind Sylvien's back and hit him in the back, so it was bound to be uncomfortable to see his face. So she tried to pretend she was stunned until Sylvienne left.

"How long will I have to wait for you to open your eyes?"

It felt hot for a moment.

Kanna is sure he doesn't know that she pretended to faint. Yeah, that can't be.

"I can't help it. The doctor said it was okay, but I was worried. I'm wondering if I should at least use artificial respiration."

"..."

Bastard.

He knew she had faked fainting. That was a tone of confidence, not doubt. But she didn't want to lose, so Kanna tossed and turned and acted.

"Hmm."

"..."

“Um, ah?”

"..."

"W-Where am I? Ah, why is His Excellency here?"

"..."

Sylvien raised the corners of his mouth and smiled as if he was shocked. But Kanna shamelessly tilted her head.

"I even remember falling into the pond. Did Your Excellency save me?"

"Yes, that's right."

It seems that Sylvien eventually decided to match Kanna's rhythm.

"Why?"

Since this was a question she had always been curious about, Kanna asked honestly.

"Why did you save me this time?"

There would be no reason to step forward and help.

Besides, didn't he get stabbed in the back not long ago? His feelings must be very hurt, but there is no way he can save her without a reason.

"Do you need a reason for rescuing a person who fell into a pond?"

'That's right because the other person is you and me.'

As Kanna could not shake off her suspicions, Sylvien smiled softly.

"I have some business to attend to."

"..."

Yeah, she knew that. He is not one to save her for no reason. 

"But the situation is what it is, so I'll tell you later."

"No, it's okay, please talk to me. That makes me feel at ease." 

"Is that so?" 

"Yes."

 "Great. There is someone I would like Miss Kanna to take a look at."
