SPMB - Chapter 81

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

Yeah, this is it.

There has to be a deal between us. As his business became clear, Kanna felt relieved.

"What makes you a bad person?"

"I was poisoned by the poison of the Eastern Continent."

"Poison?"

Kanna was surprised.

"Yes. According to the person who attempted to poison me, there is no antidote to it because it is a poison unknown even on the Eastern Continent."

That's why he came to see her. He knew that Kanna was knowledgeable about medicinal herbs from the Eastern Continent, so he made the request.

'I know how to detoxify toxic herbs, so I might be able to solve it.'

As for other types of poisons, she was well-versed in poisons extracted from medicinal herbs from the Eastern Continent. So she can accept it.

Kanna nodded obediently. 

"Great. Let's take a look."

"Do you want to?"

"Yes. If I succeed in removing the poison, you will have to grant my request. What I hope for is the same as before."

Kanna spread her index finger resolutely and spoke. 

"Please divorce me."

Then she added quickly.

"I said this before, but my father might not approve. You must take responsibility and persuade him."

"All right."

"..."

Kanna was uneasy because the answer was too smooth. Could it be that he doesn't believe he's again, or does he believe her a little bit now?

Kanna can't figure out what's in there.

Regardless of whether he believes it or not, isn't this conversation too smooth right now?

'Have you forgotten that you hit me in the back a while ago?" 

There is not even a hint of displeasure, let alone a sense of betrayal.

So much so that it feels like it never happened.

"By the way, have you caught the person who tried to poison you now?"

"Of course."

"You must never kill that person. We have to find out exactly what poison he used." 

"All right."

"Where is he? Is he in jail?"

 "He is locked up, but it is not a regular prison."

"Where is it? And what about the patient?" 

Sylvien smiled at the barrage of questions.

"Would you like to follow me?"

Instead of answering, Kanna jumped up from her seat. Addiction was an urgent problem, so there was no time to waste.

"Okay, let's go now. But before that, I think I'll have to stop by Addis Mansion to pick up some tools. Do you have time for that?" 

"Ah, no problem."

Sylvien opened the door. 

"Let's go."

***

"Sister?"

As soon as she left the room with Sylvien, she ran into Kalen.

"Sister, are you okay?"

He quickly came over, grabbed Kanna's shoulder, and spun her around.

"Where were you injured?"

"I am okay."

"Oh my, your hair is still wet. Let's go back to the mansion right now." 

Then Sylvien laughed awkwardly. 

"I'm sorry, Sir Kallen. Miss Kanna decided to go with me." 

At that moment, Kallen's grip tightened. He said harshly. 

"Sister, please come back to the mansion with me."

"..."

Kanna suddenly felt a sense of déj à vu. She thinks she has seen this situation a lot somewhere... 

*** .

At that time, Kanna didn't need Kalen, so she calmly shook it off and left.

'I need to use him more now.'

So, she needs to appease him with a little sincerity. Kanna smiled apologetically and placed her hand on Kalen's arm.

"Kalen, I have to go."

"..."

"Something important happened. I'll come after seeing the business."

"Sister."

"I'll be back soon."

But why does she have to appease it like this?

'Not even a brat.'

Although annoyance rose, Kanna smiled as beautifully as a picture. 

"Huh? Kalen."

"..."

"Let go."

In the end, it was the same as last time. Kalen's grip fell weakly. Kanna smiled at him one more time, but that was it.

She passed by him without hesitation.

"It's here?"

"Yes."

After stopping by Addis Mansion and nicking a needle case, they headed somewhere.

Surprisingly, it was a very familiar place. Valentino Mansion. It was Sylvien's house where Joo-hwa stayed for 7 years.

Kanna asked as she walked down the hallway.

"Who is in this mansion? A patient who was poisoned, or a murderer who tried to poison himself?"

'They are both here."

The place Sylvien headed to was the basement.

Standing in front of the huge door at the end of the basement, he pushed in the golden key.

'Was this a door that opened to a secret room?'

Although she didn't show it up, she was surprised on the inside. A door is located at the end of a basement hallway. Kanna thought it was a closed space because it was always locked.

'No way.'

The moment she walked inside, the space became completely dark. The weak lamp hanging on the wall was all that illuminated the darkness. Sylvien said as he held up the lantern. 

"The stairs are steep, so be careful."

There was such a secret space. Kanna asked, walking carefully along his back.

"What is it here? The Duke's secret place?"

"It's not a secret. Because there is no need to hide it. But secretly, yes."

"That sounds right."

Sylvien said, trotting down the stairs.

"Few people know what lies beyond this door." 

It was exciting. There is a secret place in the basement of the magnificent Duke's house.

'Do all family heads have something like this?'

Come to think of it, there is a similar place in Addis Mansion. A room with a strict order prohibiting anyone from entering. 

'It's not even Bluebeard's room. What on earth is your father hiding in that room?'

A room that only Alessandro Addis can access. No one knew what was in that secret space.

"The stairs end here. Be careful."

As she went down the stairs, what appeared was a dungeon, as expected.

"Ugh." 

Kanna plugged her nose at the fishy scent of blood that suddenly wafted out.

"The smell of blood."

It gave her goosebumps to think that something like this existed in the basement where she lived.

It was then.

 "Sylvienne."

At that moment, Kanna almost screamed. Someone approached her silently in the dark.

'Is It Raphael?"

Under the dim light, the man's purple eyes looked dark blue.

Raphael glanced down at Kanna and turned his face away before their eyes met.

"Do you really have to bring her here?"

"That's because we can't raise the spray to the ground. Raphael."

Sylvien retorted softly and then led Kanna inside. Raphael then narrowed his eyebrows as if disapproving, but did not stop him any further.

" ..."

The moment she passed him, their eyes met, and Kanna gently waved her hand.

'Nice to meet you. Long time no see.'

It was a gesture with this meaning, but Raphael quickly averted his gaze with a wary expression.

'Am I a contagious disease?'

The apology she made earlier didn't seem to have any effect.

"Raphael, are you ready?"

"I am okay." 

"Thank you for your hard work."

Sylvien smiled softly and opened the iron bars. He then looked down at Kanna and shook his head.

"You can probably hear it from outside."

"Yes"

"Please do not come inside." 

Bang. 

He closed the iron bars without receiving an answer.

'Why on earth?"

Kanna looked down at the stone floor in confusion. A dark red stem was seen winding over the rough, bumpy surface.

This is...

'Blood?"

For a moment, Kanna got goosebumps.

'Okay. Because the other person is the one who tried to murder, it was only natural that he sought information from such a person.'

Only then did she feel the reality that she had become involved in something very dangerous?

"Huh, huh. huh."

As Sylvien entered the bars, Salsu's breathing became so rough that it almost seemed like he would stop. As soon as he saw him he seemed to spark a match.

"Well, I'll tell you anything! Let me tell you! Anything! Well, just save me... !"

"Is that true?"

Sylvien asked curiously. It was a voice so friendly that it gave Kanna goosebumps. 

"Your attitude is different from yesterday. You said I would rather kill you, so I sincerely believed you and treated you that way."

"Huh, ha, ha, well, I was wrong, I..."

"Oh no, don't cry. There's no need to waste your stamina for nothing, right?"

Kanna was taken aback by his soft tone. How could he speak so kindly to an assassin?

"Luckily, it looks like you've changed your mind now, so I'll trust you. Please don't disappoint."

"Huh, huh, huh."

"As you may have heard, there is a lady standing outside the bars right now. She is not suited for difficult work. We ask for your cooperation with that in mind."

"Huh, huh."

"What poison did you use?"

Kanna held her breath and listened to the information coming from inside the bars. And she knew that what she had secretly expected was true.
