SPMB - Chapter 142

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

"What?"

Joanna's fingers trembled.

"What did you say just now. Sir Kallen?"

"It has become difficult to proceed with the engagement next year."

Joanna stared at him coldly. Despite the frosty gaze, Kalen Addis' face was extremely peaceful.

"Why?"

"As I said, it is a problem within the family."

"So, let's postpone the engagement ceremony?"

"Yes."

Silence fell. Joanna looked down at her teacup in contempt.

"How long should we postpone it?"

"It would be difficult to make any promises."

It was a declaration that was tantamount to destroying it. Joanna was overcome by a sense of despair.

"I thought it was going smoothly so far, but I didn't know you would stop it so unilaterally."

"Sorry. We will fully compensate for the damage suffered by His Majesty."

"Compensation?"

Joanna stood up and sneered.

"You wasted my time and reputation. If I go back to Yalden, I will be a terrible shame."

"Sorry."

"No, don't apologize. Lord Kalen. I won't forgive you anyway."

"Yes, please do so."

It's a calm answer. Joanna smiled and stared at him.

"You are not afraid of me. I guess my anger is petty."

She'll make him regret it. Joanna turned around with determination.

'How can I get revenge?'

Is there a better way? A good way to hurt Kalen...

Suddenly, she remembered a conversation she had with Kanna not long ago.

A few days ago, Isabelle came to visit and made a very immature request.

"Could you please tell Brother Kalen to lift my probation? He will listen to his fiancee's story."

It was absurd. At first, Joanna refused, but Isabelle cried and recklessly asked.

Then she suddenly became curious. Kalen Addis listens to everything Kanna says. To what extent will his fiancé grant her own requests?

So he went to see Kalen. When she heard that he was headed to Kanna's bedroom, she headed there. And then she saw the mess.

The image of Kallen losing his mind because he was so obsessed with her sister's work. When they arrived, Kalen and Orsini left. And for some reason, Isabelle burst into tears and disappeared.

"No one, nor even my mother, took my side, so how could my sister..."

Isabelle left those words and left as if running away.

Because of that, Joanna was left alone with Kanna. Kanna served her tea to her.

There was no long talk.

But she could feel the dry desolation in her face, in her eyes, and in the corners of her mouth.

Joanna realized once again.

'That woman is very unhappy in this mansion.'

Kalen and Orsini's strange obsession is eating away at Kanna. If she used Kanna like that, wouldn't it be possible to hurt Kalen?

While walking with that thought in mind, Joanna ran into Elphie in the hallway. She was a maid who was resting because she was not feeling well.

"Her Royal Highness, are you here?"

"Huh."

Elphy was a maid who came with her and was like a friend who had assisted Joanna since she was a child.

"Elphy, my engagement is broken."

"Yes?"

"It was destroyed, unilaterally."

"Oh my God. How did this happen?"

There is no strength in Elphie's voice when she answers like that. Only then did she realize something was strange and looked at Elphy carefully.

"Elphy? Does it still hurt a lot?" 

"No, it's okay. It's just that my heart hurts a little..."

And in the next moment, Elphy's body collapsed like a sand castle.

"Elphy!"

Joanna hurriedly helped Elfie who was falling. And she was very surprised.

Her clothes were soaked with sweat!

"Elphy! Elphy, come to your senses!"

Elphy breathed heavily and her shoulders trembled. Her hand clenches against her chest as if in pain. The moment Joanna saw that anxiety washed over her like a tidal wave.

Elphy's mother was Joanna's nanny. And this is how the nanny died. Like Elphynow. 

She suddenly fell down, clutched her chest, and died!

Maybe Elphy will die like that too.

"Of course, doctor! Bring the doctor!"

***

How many minutes passed?

A doctor hurriedly approached and quickly began examining Elphy.

"Yeah, yeah. Suddenly she said her chest hurt."

"This..."

Then the doctor clicked his tongue and shook his head.

"I'm sorry. Your Highness. This is a heart attack."

"What?"

"There is no way to do this. Sorry."

It was then. A woman suddenly intervened, pushing the doctor.

"Daughter of the Duke of Addis?"

Joanna's eyes widened. The woman who pushed the doctor and intervened was Kanna. Kanna looked at Elphy's condition and checked her pulse.

"Acute myocardial infarction..."

After muttering lowly, she took out a small round container from her pocket. And then she picked up something that looked like a long needle.

Joanna was startled by that ugly tool.

What is she doing with that long needle?

"What are you doing now!"

At that time, a sharp voice rang out. She was Duchess Chloe Addis. 

"Stop it now, Kanna!" 

"If you leave her like this, she will die."

"Have you forgotten what Kalen said a while ago? He was told not to come forward without permission, he said."

Chloe shook her head as she looked down at the gasping, dying maid.

"This is a critically ill patient. It's not your place to interfere without proper training. Kanna. Go away and leave it to a professional doctor."

Kanna completely ignored Chloe's words. Instead of dealing with her, she shifted her gaze to Joanna.

At that moment, Joanna's shoulders trembled as she met the burning black eyes. Her eyes were like fire.

"Her Royal Highness, what will you do?"

"Yes?"

"Would you leave Your Highness's maid like this? Or would you like to leave the treatment to me?"

Joanna's hair was a tangled mess. Does she want treatment? With that weird needle thing?

Taking advantage of the conflict, Chloe intervened.

"Your Highness, please leave it to the doctor of the Addis family. I cannot entrust the life of Your Highness's precious maid to an unprofessional person."

Joanna's head went blank.

Yes, Elphy is a maid who is like her friend. She cannot be left to non-experts. But just now the doctor in Addis said there was no way to fix it...

The worry was short-lived.

"Yes, please heal my maid, Daughter of the Duke of Addis."

"It's not possible!"

Chloe was surprised by her decision and retorted.

"No, Princess! That kid..."

"Be quiet!"

Chloe pursed her lips in response to Kanna's annoyed cries. Then, she glared fiercely at Kanna.

But Kanna didn't even look at Chloe anymore. She immediately turned Elphy's body over, tore off her top, and took it off as if she had an erection.

What on earth is she doing?

Why is she taking Elphy's clothes off?

While Joanna was confused, Kanna was sticking something that looked like a long needle into Elphy's wing.

"W-what are you doing now!"

That wasn't all. She took out another needle and stuck it into Elphy's hand!

"What are you doing! Grab Kanna right now!"

As Chloe shouted, the servants came hesitantly and grabbed Kanna by the shoulders.

"Hurry and take Kanna away!"

At Chloe's words, the servants roughly pulled Kanna's body.

"Her Royal Highness!"

Kanna shouted after being stopped by the servants.

"Look straight at Your Highness's maid. She's dying now! Are you just going to watch?"

Joanna, who had been dazed by those words, came to her senses.

Kanna was right...

Elphy was dying, and the doctor in Addis said there was no cure. So she has to do something. Even if it was a straw. She had to grasp at it!

"Let go of that hand right now!"

The servants stopped at the Princess's words. Chloe then persuaded as if she was frustrated.

"Princess, Kanna has never even received proper medical training! And not long ago, Kallen..."

"This is my maid, Duchess of Addis."

She stared at Kanna. Then she bent down and asked.

"Please save my maid, Lady of the Duke of Addis."

***

"I owe you."

That night.

Joanna muttered as she looked down at her sleeping maid. Elphy, breathing regularly.

"I am indebted to you, Lady."

After struggling. Elphy's breathing returned to normal. Joanna was so relieved that her legs were still shaking.

Just as she lost my nanny, she almost lost Elphy as well. If it weren't for Kanna, she would have died.

Joanna looked back. Kanna, with her tired complexion, was resting on her sofa. She was an amazing woman. Joanna could not forget the concentration Kanna showed her. In that messy hallway.

Even with Chloe chirping next to her and the doctor admonishing her not to do so, she continued the treatment without losing her breath.

It was so urgent that there was no time to move to the right place. It wasn't long before we moved into this bedroom.

'It was an amazing medical technique.'

Why do they let such talented people rot at home?

If it were the Kingdom of Yalden, she would have served as a council member with the full support of the royal family.

However, Kanna was drying up amidst the brothers' strange obsession. She was an incorrigible woman in the Addis family and the Aslan Empire.

"I am a person who always pays back my debt. So tell me what you want. Whatever it is. I will make it happen."

Even as Joanna said that she knew what Kanna would ask.

Kanna made eye contact. She smiled her smile.

"Thank you for saying that, Your Highness. What I wish for..."

At that time, Kalen Addis purchased a small island to the south.

It was a small but beautiful resort.
