SPMB - Chapter 89
My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone
The moment our eyes met, Layla's breathing became heavy.
'Why is Her Royal Highness Princess Amelia here...?'
She had the exact same look as the Empress, and if it weren't for her blonde hair and golden eyes, she wouldn't have recognized her. That's how much she was a royal Princess.
Layla heard a rumor that Kanna had cured Amelia's illness, but she had no idea that the Princess had recovered so completely. Above all, who would have known that Kanna would invite the Princess as her friend!
"Did you say she was the Lady of the Count of Aberdeen?"
Amelia said darkly.
"The Duchess Valentino insisted that she wear a black dress. It's the dress code set by the party host."
"Well, that is..."
"I thought it was strange at first, but Duchess Valentino is so naive. She said I could trust her because there was no way there was anything wrong with the invitation."
Changed to casual language.
"But what is it?"
When Amelia looked around with a crooked smile, all the ladies lowered their gazes.
"Everyone is wearing white clothes except us."
Amelia's temperament was famous. She is a violent Princess who fights without losing even to that scary Empress.
"Are you kidding me?"
Amelia smiled, showing her teeth. Her smile was exactly like that of the Empress.
"Well, my maid......."
Leila barely moved her trembling lips. Her mind was melting as she made excuses to be her maid.
'Her Royal Highness Princess Amelia has started social activities.'
So what happens to the social world now? She's sure the Empress will be a strong supporter. That meant that Marquis Mercy would also stand behind Amelia.
She's sure she'll interact with many nobles. Because she is the half-sister of Prince Crescent, who is considered to be the Emperor. Then...
'Perhaps it may be more beneficial than being by Her Highness Lilienne's side.'
So, don't ruin your relationship with Amelia!
The Lady of Count of Aberdeen was not the only one who had such thoughts at this moment.
"The sound of heads rolling can be heard all the way from here.'
Kanna leisurely fanned herself and watched happily.
'A strong hand is meant to be used in times like this.
He currently owns a total of three powerful chess pieces.
The Empress, the Princess, and Kalen Addis. Kanna was planning to take advantage by placing those three in the right place.
Is there any need for her to get involved in a dogfight?
So, when she went to see Amelia, Kanna brought up this story.
"I was invited to a noble lady's tea party for the first time, Her Royal Highness. It's a place to introduce close friends."
Kanna smiled shyly and whispered, and Amelia was happy as if it was her own business.
"Thank God! It looks like they are finally recognizing Miss Kanna's true worth."
When asked if she could go together, Amelia readily agreed. Anyway, she was going to show her face to the social world soon.
"It's an honor for me to be introduced as Miss Kanna's friend."
However, in her first social circle, she was subjected to this kind of ridicule. Is there any way to just ignore Amelia's personality?
'If it gets into the Empress's ears, things will get even bigger.'
This will be an opportunity to announce that Kanna is under the protection of Amelia and, by extension, the Empress. So she willingly participated, even though she knew it would be a mess.
It was necessary to properly inform Lilienne and the ladies who followed her at least once. That they shouldn't play pranks like this on her anymore.
'You started a fire.'
So now all Kanna had to do was enjoy the glowing fireworks from a distance.
"Right now."
Amelia ordered in a low voice.
"Bring that maid right now."
***
The maid's screams echoed throughout the party.
“Aaaah!”
Amelia looked down at the maid with cold eyes.
"Who told you to stop?"
At Amelia's words, the sturdy maid standing next to her swung the whip again.
Slap! Slap!
The whipping continues. Amelia was punished coldly, like the embodiment of her judgment, and other noble daughters who stood there were so frightened that they could not say a word.
How long has it been?
Her maid could not bear it and she collapsed. But Amelia was a merciless woman.
"Wake up."
She gave the command in a voice without any warmth.
"Wake her up and start whipping her again. She's a criminal who dared to insult the princess of the Empire!"
It was like an explosion, but it was not an explosion. Like Cassil, she had no mercy in her hands, but unlike Cassil, the justification for her punishment was clear.
"Uh, Your Highness!"
Leila Everdeen couldn't help but kneel down.
What if things get bigger? What if she admits that the maid did what she told her to do? So what if she falIs out of Amelia's eyes, the Empress's eyes? She will never be able to socialize again!
'Why doesn't Princess Lilienne protect me?'
Leila stared at Lilienne with resentful eyes.
'Your Highness said you thought it would be fun! It's just like something Your Highness told you to do, so why are you just watching!'
In the end, Lilienne, who was unable to do anything, took a step forward.
"Sister Amelia, please..."
"Step aside, Lilienne."
Amelia didn't even look at Lilienne.
"Don't say anything unless you plan on punishing her more severely."
But Lilienne continued steadfastly
"Please let go of your anger, sister. Those lowly mistakes can't even put a blemish on my sister's honor. If you want, you can change it with my clothes. So..."
"Honor? Are you talking about honor to me now?"
Amelia raised the corners of her mouth and smiled cruelly.
"Do you really think that the weight of honor between you and me is the same?"
Lilienne was speechless.
Although they were the same Princess, a huge river called bloodline passed between them.
That river was a limit that Lilienne could never overcome. The Countess of Aberdeen realized that Lilienne could not save her.
What should she do? How can she survive?
At one point, while wandering around with trembling eyes, Leila encountered black eyes!
Leila clung to Kanna.
"I'm sorry, Duchess Valentino. This happened because I mismanaged the maid."
Kanna thought for a moment and decided. Even so, she was becoming increasingly bored.
'I need to evolve slowly."
Kanna approached Amelia, who was angry to the core and crossed her arms subtly.
"Her Royal Highness, please calm down."
"But Miss Kanna, this is not a mistake that can be overlooked. It's like deliberately insulting me and Miss Kanna!"
Kanna stroked Amelia's angry arm.
"That's why you punished the maid. At this point, even the Lady of Count Aberdeen will realize something."
Then he gave Leila a quick glance.
"Is that so, Lady of the Count of Aberdeen?"
"Yes, yes!"
The line has come down! Aberdeen caught on.
"I will never make a mistake like this again! Please forgive me, Her Highness."
"This."
Tsk tsk.
Kanna clicked her tongue.
"She's crying, Her Highness. Please forgive her at this point. I will ask you a favor."
"...."
Amelia bit her lip. She huffed and puffed like an angry animal, but eventually, she slumped her shoulders.
Kanna even asked for a favor, but she couldn't ignore it.
"Good. Miss Kanna says that, so I can't help it."
At that moment, Leila almost burst into tears of relief. She's finally forgiven!
"As expected, you are kind, Her Highness."
Kanna said that and looked around.
"Your Highness has been generous this time, so you will have to be careful next time. Dear Lady of the Count of Aberdeen, do you understand?"
Kanna smiled at everyone. And she spoke kindly.
"So everyone, please be careful."
The noble ladies stood blankly, looking at the scene. The image of Kanna handling Amelia as if she were taming a wild beast.
