SPMB - Chapter 92

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

"I didn't know there would be guests from the Empire."

The lord of Palen Island greeted her.

"Welcome. Welcome. I am Hylon Dale, the lord of Palen Island."

He was a middle-aged man with a very frail appearance. And there was a man next to him.

'After all, that person must be the high priest, right?'

Kanna hoped not, but it seemed to be true. He was a man whose white robes were too tight on his body to the point of bursting. 

'But the eyes...'

The eyes are very dirty. Kanna felt the lust in the high priest's eyes. 

"This is High Priest Carleon."

Kanna greeted while hiding her disgust. 

"It is an honor to meet you, High Priest. My name is Kanna Valentino, and I am here as a member of the National Assembly."

"May God bless the Duchess." 

The high priest bowed, wiping away the grease-like sweat.

"It's an honor to meet you, Ma'am. You are very beautiful. It's surprising that such a beautiful person works as a doctor."

Ha ha ha! 

The high priest smiled and continued.

"For a beauty like the Duchess, there would be no need for medical skills.

"Yes?"

"If I just look at the Duchess's beauty, I will be cured of my 10-year-old illness. Haha, didn't you become a member of the National Assembly because of your beauty?"

In an instant, Kanna's face became as cold as ice. She didn't hide her displeasure and kept a straight face.

"No. It's not about beauty."

"Yes?"

"You don't need good looks to serve as a doctor, High Priest."

The expression of Hylon, the lord who was listening from the side, became clouded.

"Princess. The high priest praised you. Please, there is no misunderstanding"

"... Compliment?"

"Yes, that's right."

At those words, Kanna relaxed her cold expression. She smiled brightly. 

"Is it so? Was it a compliment?"

Only then did the high priest's embarrassment disappear. He smiled brightly and praised her again.

"Ha ha ha! Of course. I was just saying that the Duchess is too beautiful to do something as dirty as a doctor's office."

"Okay. But is that a compliment?"

 "Yes?"

"It sounds like an insult to my ear."

However, the high priest did not notice Kanna's hostility and tilted his head in confusion.

"No, it's not an insult. Don't misunderstand."

Kanna didn't bother to answer. It is said that she became a member of the National Assembly because of her beauty. In the world of Joo-hwa, she would have slapped her opponent if she had heard such a thing.

'I really want to hit you.' 

What happens if she slaps the high priest?

'Desecration."

And blasphemy may be...

'It was a burning at the stake.'

This was a law that also applied to nobles.

Maybe people like Raphael are rare.

It was worth it. Isn't the temple a disgusting group made up of incestuous marriages that deserve to be rotten?

"Those who claim to be descendants of ancient divine priests are sitting around incestuous marriages...'

"How disgusting will our ancestors be when they see it?"

The great temple. A sacred and inviolable territory that stands above imperial law.

Just as Addis and Valentino were descendants of ancient paladins, the priests of the Great Temple were descendants of ancient holy priests.

Moreover, there is a strange being called a spirit in the main shrine.

According to history, about five hundred years ago, he was born from the World Tree or something?

Well, that's the great temple's one-sided claim. In fact, there are many people who do not believe in the existence of Gods.

However, externally, the spirit combines with the World Tree to purify demonic energy and protect the Western Continent from the Black Fog. That was the reason for the existence of the Great Temple.

Although it is a group with such a sacred purpose.

'If you take off one layer, it looks like a trash can."

All priests in the main temple are blood relatives of the same blood. It is a group that has been maintained only through intermarriage for a very long history.

'They say it's to maintain sexual power, but it's so disgusting.'

However, it is said that after such efforts, priests are able to naturally exercise their sacred powers without the baptism ceremony.

On the other hand, the case of the descendants of Holy Knights who did not incest, namely Addis and Valentino, was different.

One could only awaken one's sacred powers by performing a baptism ceremony. It's holy power. It was a truly coveted power, but it was something that was only available to male descendants for generations.

Neither Kanna nor Isabelle were baptized.

"Duchess, thank you so much for your trouble in coming. If you need anything, please let me know anytime."

The lord quickly set out to change the mood. Kanna also did not want to talk to the high priest anymore, so he asked the lord for anything.

"My lord, do you know the whereabouts of Lord Addis?"

It was a question she asked because she assumed that of course, he wouldn't know. However...

"He deserves to die!"

It's a surprise!

Kanna looked at the high priest who shouted in surprise. The high priest screamed in a frenzy like a wild boar hit by an arrow in its buttocks.

"God will definitely punish him! How dare he!"

It was then.

Dang-dang!

The castle's main bell rang loudly. At the sound of the bell, the lord quickly intervened.

"High Priest, it is time for worship. Please do not disappoint the believers."

"... Anyway, I will tell the Lord Orsini's blasphemies one by one! Make sure you know that!"

The high priest waddled out.

"My Lord. What does this mean?"

"Hmm."

"I asked about the whereabouts of Sir Orsini Addis."

But the lord could not answer. He fidgeted, biting his lip as if there were thorns growing in his mouth, then cautiously opened his mouth.

"Hmm, actually he is now......."

"..."

"He is in prison."

***

Canna found Orsini.

"..."

Is he saying that is coming?

"That tramp?"

The dungeon of the lord Castle. Orsini was lying down on a pile of straw. Why on earth is he acting like that? Sir Claude also seemed at a loss for words.

"Hey."

Kanna called him. Then Orsini slowly opened his eyes. He immediately sensed that he was popular, but he seemed to continue to ignore her. However, when he made eye contact with Kanna, he straightened up like a spring.

'Oh my God, look at that straw on your head.'

Even so, a bundle of straw clings to his tangled red hair. Kanna smiled crookedly and sarcastically.

"It's nice to see you, Orsini. Shall I call you a bum? Or, a prisoner?"

Orsini stared at Kanna with an uncharacteristically dumb expression and then laughed.

"What a fucking bitch. Are you here to harass me again?"

What nonsense?

Embarrassed, Claude and Kanna exchanged glances.

"Okay, do whatever you want. It's better to be in a nightmare than on this damn island."

"..."

>

She guesses he doesn't think this is a dream. But it was a plausible assumption. Orsini might not believe it because Kanna appeared so suddenly. 

'Anyway, I did it in a subtle way.'

Tsk tsk. Kanna clicked her tongue.

"Who dares call me into your dreams? Unpleasant."

"What?"

"Stop talking nonsense and come to your senses." 

Silence fell. After a while, Orsini got up and came closer to the bars. 

"What are you?"

He looked back and forth between Kanna and Claude with eyes that were almost hateful.

"Why are you guys here?" 

"That's what I want to say."

Kanna kicked the bars.

"The great Orsini Addis is being imprisoned for committing a crime worthy of death."

"Why are you here!"

Oh, what a surprise!

 "Go away! If you don't turn it off right away, I'll throw you into the sea!”

Then he shouted at Claude. 

"Sir Claude! I should have warned you not to send the knights!"

"Lord Orsini, there is a situation. Just calm down first..."

"Shut up! Take this bitch and get the hell away!"

He's crying. Anger soared. But fortunately, the opposite sex was still attached. She ordered grimly.

"Sir Claude, get out."

"Yes?"

"It's because the siblings have something to talk about. Please get out."

"All right."

Claude was a knight who followed orders like a sword. He got out of prison without a word. Kanna heard the door closing.

"Finally..."

Finally, there are only two left.

Kanna took a deep breath and stroked her hair, and...

"You son of a bitch!"

I grabbed the bars and screamed.

"You think someone came because they wanted to come!"
