My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

'I think he's talking about the poisonous plant.'

Its appearance was similar to that of a plant, with its unique purple petals and long stem.

"Well, it's poison taken from its roots. It is not known even on the Eastern Continent, so only a few people know about it."

As expected, it was the poisonous plant used by the Empress when she attempted to assassinate Amelia.

"Raphael, do you have any notes?"

At Kanna's words, Raphael took out a fountain pen and a small notebook from the front pocket of his priest's uniform. Kanna drew the plant in one go and held it out through the bars.

"Your Excellency, please confirm if this is correct."

The next moment, the paper slipped out of my grasp. It seems Sylvien took it.

"Yes, that's right. It looks like this!

"Are you sure?" 

"Yes, really! I really...."

"You know what happens if you lie, right? It will no doubt be an unpleasant moment for both of us."

That person even makes threats gracefully. It's really scary to do that to someone who is crying.

'It would be nice to see this on Joo-hwa.'

Won't she lose her affection because she's scared? 

Kanna clicked her tongue.

***

"Which can you get first, green beans or black beans?" 

"Mung beans are kept in the apothecary room of Valentino's mansion."

"Then, please prepare the mung beans first. Also, I need black beans and licorice. Can I get some bamboo leaves"

"It's possible." 

"Great. Prepare black beans and licorice, mix them in equal proportions, and boil them. You don't need to heat it for a long time, about an hour and a half will do. Afterward, mix it with the separately brewed bamboo leaves."

Kanna wrote down the amount of medicine to be used in detail and handed it to Raphael. He stared with half-admiration, half-skepticism, and then disappeared.

Sylvien, who was watching quietly, asked.

"I think it's a detox prescription you're familiar with." 

"With that prescription, you can detoxify quite a few poisons. But I don't know if it will work against the purple plant's poison. I'll have to try it once to find out." 

No, actually, it definitely works. Persimmon bean soup made from black beans and licorice can completely remove the poison from the plant.

However, Kanna spoke vaguely in some parts. It wasn't for the sake of being humble.

'Because it would be strange to be confident that I can detoxify a poisonous plant that was just discovered on the Eastern Continent."

"So, where is the patient?" 

"I think I need to change my clothes first."

Sylvien glanced down at the hem of her dress.

"There was blood on it."

When Sylvien called the maid and gave an order, the maid confessed with an embarrassed face.

"I'm sorry. Count Eleister ordered all of the Duchess' clothes to be discarded..."

It was so Josephine-like that Kanna wasn't surprised. There was no way that mother-in-law would leave her daughter-in-law's belongings alone when she left home, right? 

"Besides, it's early in the morning. so I don't think there will be any clothing stores open. Shall I borrow Madam Josephine's clothes?"

"No, it's okay."

Borrow Josephine's clothes? She'd rather wear bloody clothes. Kanna was fed up and sent the maid away.

"Your Excellency the Duke, now that the clothes are done, show me the patient first."

"The dungeon is full of toxins, so it would be better for Miss Kanna's health if you wash up first and come out."

What on earth is going on in there, so full of toxins?

Patients are important, but her Iives are more important. Kanna no longer refused and nodded her head.

Sylvien's quiet voice rang behind Kanna as she left.

"When you're ready, come to my bedroom."

***

Wearing dirty clothes is not a problem.

'But, I really don't want to wear it again after I took a shower.'

In the end, Kanna wore a borrowed negligee that maids wear as pajamas and headed to Sylvien's room.

"Are you here?"

Kanna's feet stopped as she entered the bedroom.

"I was waiting."

In a room where only a faint lamp illuminated the darkness, Sylvien was sitting on the bed.

He smiled lazily and gestured.

"Please come here."

The pouring moonlight drenched his body. His wet silver hair, completely swept up, and even his firm breasts exposed through the gap in his nightgown were shining pure white.

At that moment, Kanna was completely overwhelmed by the unrealistically beautiful scene and almost took a step back. 

"Um, no."

She almost did something embarrassing. Kanna walked in with a calm expression.

'Wake up quickly. Now we have to go to the patient.'

"There is no need to go."

"What the hell is that?"

"Isn't he here?"

Sylvien smiled neatly.

"That's me."

"Yes?"

"I was poisoned by that poison."

"I beg your pardon?"

It is normal to feel anxious on the verge of death. However, Sylvien did not show any signs of pain.

'Now that I think about it, the sleeping scent didn't work on Sylvien either'

For some reason, she felt a little annoyed.

'Is it because you were baptized? Because of sexual power. No, I don't think it's because of that.'

Descendants of ancient paladins are male. In other words, men from the Addis and Valentino families can use their sacred powers when they are baptized by the Great Temple.

However, that may not be the reason why Sylvien is immune to poison. 

Kanna was sure, because...

'There was a man in the Addis family who died after taking poison, right?" 

Alessandre Addis, her father's brother, was such a case.

Sylvien shrugged his shoulders.

"Miss Kanna, as you may know, I am somewhat healthy."

"I have nothing to say since you overestimate your health, but..."

Kanna looked straight at him and held out her finger.

"It was foolish of you to be so relaxed without even knowing what poison you were inflicted with."

The more she continued talking, the more absurd it became.

If he were the patient, he should have told her a long time ago! She could have healed it faster!

"Treatment of toxicity is a race against time. No matter how easy a poison is to deal with, there are many cases where it becomes difficult to deal with it long after it has spread. Therefore..." 

No, what on earth she is talking about?

For a moment, a sense of desperation hit Kanna. Without realizing it, she went into doctor mode and started nagging, but who was it? This is Sylvien.

"Yes, that's right. Damn it, what do I care?'

Kanna ended up saying something pointless.

Kanna was so annoyed that she closed her mouth. If she could, she would press the back button and erase her previous lines.

Sylvien just stared at Kanna blankly and didn't respond. It was rather fortunate.

"How is it now? You really don't mind?"

Then Sylvien covered his hand over his left breast.

"I feel a little stuffy."

The plant toxicity dilates blood vessels and weakens heart function. Sylvien was feeling slightly uncomfortable.

"When did you get poisoned?" 

"This morning."

The more she listens, the more absurd it becomes. If that's the case, he should have talked about it and gotten treatment a long time ago. Why did he take so much time?

'Patients who are imbued with warrior complacency should be scolded!'

Kanna sighed and sat down at the bedside.

"I'll check your temperature in a moment."

She stretched her hand towards Sylvien's forehead. But she did not dare to touch it carelessly, and she hesitated.

"Can I touch you?"

The opponent is Sylvien. If she touches him carelessly, frost may form on her body.

When Kanna asked, Sylvien chuckled.

"Touch me."

Permission was granted.

Kanna then placed her hand on Sylvien's forehead. For a moment, Kanna was startled. The shape felt under the palm was so perfect that it looked like a sculpture carefully created by a craftsman.

'Is there really a need for even the forehead to be this cool?" 

Unlucky. She grumbled inwardly and checked his temperature.

'He has a slight fever."

Even though he was still human, he seemed to be somewhat toxic. In addition, Sylvien's breath lightly blowing on her wrist contained a bit of heat.

"First of all, we need to prevent the toxicity from spreading further. Take off your gown."

Kanna reacted one step late.

It wasn't anyone else, it was Sylvien, and Sylvien was the one who got hurt in that first attempt?

'No way!'

Does this person think he is a fool? What a dangerous poison it is! He will never be able to live a normal life with his limbs intact!

'I can't even say that!' 

She opened her mouth but was unable to spit out anything and was trembling.

If she knows anything about poison, this is a strange situation! Instead, she said it this way.

"You look very fine considering you were poisoned."
