SPMB - Chapter 83

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

Kanna took out a needle from the needle box she had prepared.

"What I'm trying to do now is detoxification therapy, that is, treatment to remove toxins from the body. I said this to the sailors on the Eastern Continent before, have you seen it?"

"Yes."

"You can trust it because it is such an effective treatment. There is no need to be afraid."

"Yes, let's try not to be afraid."

Kanna became embarrassed at his words.

After all, he is a person who deals with monsters. There was no way this needle-like tool could have seemed threatening to such a man.

Moreover, since he had seen acupuncture needles being used on Eastern Continent sailors, Sylvien obediently pulled back his gown.

Kanna averted her gaze without realizing it but very naturally returned it to its original position. She had seen men's naked upper bodies many times during treatment, but this was her first time seeing a body like that.

'I've seen it a few times in a movie.'

Kanna froze for a moment at his carnivore-like body, which was completely different from his elegant face. The hair on the back of her neck stood up because it was a body that felt quite obscene. Kanna spoke in a stern voice.

"Lay down."

Without realizing it. She ended up saying it like an order.

Kanna was worried the moment she said it but Sylvien behaved surprisingly obedient. Kanna felt a little strange that he followed her own words.

"Lie down comfortably. Please relax your body."

Kanna sat down next to him. And she added quietly.

"I'll take a look."

Then he placed two fingers on his chest. She had to find a suitable acupuncture point to place the needle.

'Do you think saliva will get into it?" .

She even had questions about the feel of his chest, which was made entirely of solid muscles and no fat.

For some reason, Kanna felt nervous and swallowed her saliva.

Meanwhile, Sylvien lowered his eyes at her. She couldn't tell for sure, but it was clear that her fingers were caressing his skin and that she was looking for something.

The fingers, without any trembling, slowly slid down from the chest. After enduring the tickling sensation for a while, Sylvien raised his gaze again.

At that moment, Kanna's eyes were serious enough to be solemn. It was truly a complete immersion.

She didn't seem to notice even though his hair fell past his ear and fell down his cheek. She seemed to be even more concentrated as she bit her plump lips. 

He stared at the red lump of flesh between her teeth and then closed his eyes. The soft-touch slides down the stomach with its bumpy muscles as if licking it. It was an excruciatingly slow movement.

And then finally, did she find the location?

Suddenly, she applied force and pushed down. He felt her nails scratching my stomach.

"It might hurt a little."

A small whispering voice reached Sylvien's ear.

"It's okay."

Kanna tapped and spit.

And then she glanced at Sylvien's face. His expression was so relaxed that anyone would have thought he was asleep.

"Hurt?" 

"It doesn't hurt."

"Thank God. Don't move like this and just wait."

"All right."

Now all that remains is to wait. Kanna let out a sigh and relaxed.

'How on earth did you get poisoned?'

Because he has a strange constitution that makes him immune to poison. He may not have paid much attention to poison... She doesn't think so.

The Sylvien she knew was a person who did not let down his guard. 

"How did you get poisoned?" 

Ah. Kanna almost smacked her lips. She asked this question without realizing it.

It was an excessive amount of interference, but surprisingly, Sylvien responded indifferently.

"I fell victim to the memorization of the Eastern Continent."

"Memorization?"

"Yes. It was a very strange weapon not found on the Western Continent."

" .."

Kanna was curious, but she didn't ask anymore. What kind of weapon is Sylvien addicted to?

'Well, honestly, it's not even at the level of addiction. A little cheesy?' 

Even though extreme poison had penetrated, it was just a slight feeling of tightness in the chest, so it seemed like it would heal on its own if left alone. So, Sylvien himself must have been taking it easy.

Still, why would he entrust this task to her?

'To prevent any unexpected disaster, or to obtain the identity of the poison and a prescription for detoxification in advance in preparation for the future.'

Or maybe both.

Kanna looked at Sylvien blankly. Suddenly this moment felt like a dream.

A quiet night where all could hear was the sound of each other's breathing. In his bedroom, they are on the bed, both wearing only pajamas.

Sylvien even had his gown half off.

'If I look at Joo-hwa's memories, this is a major event that could change heaven and earth...'

 ***

It reminded her of Kanna, or rather, Joo-hwa holding her ankle and crying.

At that time. Sylvien smiled and spoke sweetly.

"Let go."

In a very kind voice.

"If you don't let go. I'll cut off your wrists, Miss Kanna."

Was it really cut out? 

If Joo-hwa and her body had not been enswitched at that moment, Joo-hwa would never have let go. Joo-hwa is a child who can last for tens of minutes once bitten. 

She would have cried and held on to it more like usual. If she had held on any longer, would Sylvien really have cut off her wrist?

Otherwise, he might have accepted the inconvenience and taken the initiative to proceed with the divorce. 

How much time has passed?

As Kanna removed the stinger, Sylvien opened his eyes. Soft blue eyes gazed at Kanna.

"Are you finished?"

"Yes."

"Thank you for your effort," 

"It will soon be time for the antidote to be completed. Please wait a moment."

Kanna said clearly and then got up from the bed.

"I'll just go back to Addis Mansion. Could you please call me a carriage?"

"That's strange."

"Yes?"

Sylvien leaned to the side and rested his chin.

"When taking care of sailors on the East Continent, didn't you stay in the ward until they were completely cured?"

"..."

"I am also a patient."

What's the difference? Kanna wanted to say that he have an iron body and will get better if he eat stew, but that was a very irresponsible thing for a member of the National Assembly to say.

Besides, a deal is a deal.

"Okay, sure. Go ahead. Once the antidote comes, you'll be able to eat by yourself, right? I'm tired and would like to rest in my room for now."

Kanna added quickly before leaving the room.

"And please tell Count Raspaello Debord that I am grateful."

"..."

No answer comes back. When Kanna looked back, Sylvien was still lying down with his chin resting on his face, staring at her. And she asked.

"Thanks?" 

Then he raises the corners of his mouth and smiles strangely.

"Why?"

Surely speaking informally? No, that can't be possible. Kanna shrugged her shoulders. 

"At that time, after the trial, he sent me a carriage. I don't know how to thank you." 

"Count Debord sent a carriage?"

"Surely, you didn't know?" 

Instead of answering, he smiled very strangely. He also seemed to feel awkward and offended by something.

"I'll be happy to tell him."

That was really the end.

Sylvien rolled over to the other side and pulled up the blanket. 

'Whatever, just say what you have to say."

Kanna grumbled inwardly and left the room. Anyway, he was an unlucky child.

***

"Kalen is back." 

In the maid's words, Isabelle quickly hid under the blanket. 

"Clace the curtains! And don't let him in!"

Isabelle curled up inside the blanket.

'I'm cared.'

A chill ran through her body as she remembered Kalen's eyes quietly glaring at her a few hours ago.

'I'm sure he'll be angry."

And now, Kallen's brother is out of his mind. She thought it was strange ever since he started making perfume under Kanna's name.

'You must be crazy. So you can't believe what I say.'

Even though she hit  Kanna on purpose, she never intended to drop her into the pond.

'Is not it? Was my strength too strong?'

Isabelle knew that her strength was much stronger than that of ordinary women.

Was it when she was thirteen?

She tried arm wrestling with young knight trainees of her age as a joke but ended up defeating them all.

After that, Isabelle stopped playing pranks like that.

'Maybe I'm stronger now than I was back then.' 

Maybe that's why Kanna fell...?

'No, maybe Kanna fall out on purpose to get in trouble for me.'

What is clear is that she had no intention of doing so!

Isabelle complained to Chloe about this injustice, but her mother just smiled in embarrassment and said.

"Why are you fighting?"

And didn't seem to have any intention of helping.

Isabelle also did not have much expectations from her mother. She always takes Kallen's side when things go wrong between Kallen and Isabelle.

'It's all annoying. There is no one on my side in this house anymore. I'm a loner.' 

She fell asleep after sobbing under the blanket.

"Isabelle."

"...!"

Isabelle opened her eyes. It was Kallen's voice! 

"Wake up."

"..."

"I know you're awake."
