SPMB - Chapter 122

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

".... Yes?" 

"I asked if you were coming back."

"Where?"

"To where you belong."

The moment she heard those words, Kanna's lips parted.

Where does she need to be? Where on earth is it?

Her mind was all tangled up. She couldn't understand what was being said. What on earth is he saying?

"You are still Kanna Valentino."

At that moment, Kanna's expression hardened. No way.

"Would you like to come back to Valentino?"

"..."

Kanna came to her senses.

The embarrassment, surprise, and everything that had confused her was frozen cold. This person has come to mock her.

"Why am I going back to Valentino?"

"There is no Josephine Eleister." 

"So?"

"It means no one can bother you anymore."

A very simple answer. Kanna couldn't help but laugh at his confidence as she spoke basic arithmetic and obvious numbers. 

"So, there is no Josephine Eleister?"

"That's right."

"No one can bother me anymore?"

"Yes."

"Whatever that is..." 

Kanna took a step closer to him.

"Did you really think I wanted a divorce because of Josephine Eleister?" 

Of course, there is a reason for that. Because she never wanted to see her vicious mother-in-law in her life. But that wasn't the biggest reason. 

"You are there."

Kanna grinned. 

"You are at the Valentino Mansion, Sylvien."

"..."

Sylvien looked down at Kanna with an expressionless face.

Sylvien.

His name was called again by her. It's probably just a tool used to emphasize sincerity. Nevertheless, he only had the same feelings as before.

It's funny. But there is no laughter.

"So you don't want to come?" 

"That's right. Sylvienne, I can consider it if you move out of the mansion."

"I can't do that."

He answered half-heartedly. Kanna still wasn't used to that attitude. 

"If you don't like that mansion, we will build a new one."

"..."

Kanna couldn't believe her ears. Because it was a line she never thought she would hear from him.

However, Sylvien's expression was carefree. He was so carefree that he was shamelessly waiting for her answer.

"Didn't you tell me? It was hard at that mansion."

"..."

"So start fresh in a new place."

A new start in a new place. That was exactly what Kanna had desperately wanted. But it wasn't like this.

"No. I don't know why you're doing this, but I'm not going back to Valentino."

Tomorrow is the annulment wedding ceremony. Once they go through that ceremony, they become legally separated.

But now he's coming back. He said he would build a new house. Kannq simply could not understand the intention. 

"Why are you doing this all of a sudden?"

"..."

Sylvien did not answer right away. He seemed close to not being able to answer. He seemed like a different person from the person who always responded to any question so smoothly that it was obnoxious.

"Suddenly...."

Then he answers quietly. He stared into Kanna's eyes as if looking at something very strange.

"I suddenly wanted to do that."

Kanna frowned. Why such an insincere answer!

"Why?"

"Well. Why?"

Sylvien stared at her as if searching for an answer.

Nervously furrowed eyebrows, black eyes full of dissatisfaction, stubborn nose, red lips...

Sylvien knew long ago that once he saw it, it would be hard to take his eyes off it. Because he's already caught her eye several times.

"Why am I like this?"

It wasn't a question. It was a muttering to himself mixed with a hint of defeat. His eyes traveled up Kanna's disheveled hair and then back to her eyes. It's shaking. 

"Why am I doing this, Kanna?"

A low-sounding voice. A strange heat scratches the inside of her throat.

"... I don't know."

Kanna seemed to be lost for a moment. Because it was such a shocking statement.

"What do I know?"

She's crying and irritated.

"I don't even want to know."

The divorce is tomorrow, but now he's here.

"So if you don't know, just leave it as you don't know."

Whether it's grumpiness, regret, or guilt. Whatever it is, it doesn't matter anymore.

But Sylvien smiled leisurely.

"What would you do if I wanted to know?"

"...What?"

"If even one person refuses to break the marriage, the divorce is nullified."

Those words hit Kanna in the face.

"Are you planning to break your contract with me?" 

"Well. That might be possible."

At that moment, Kanna was so angry that her head was spinning. 

"Shamelessly... You said you could break a contract so easily. Are you a noble who knows honor?"

When Kanna shot him as if she were going to kill him, Sylvien laughed 

"I told you. I am more ruthless than you think." 

At those words, Kanna's eyes suddenly rolled over.

Wow!

Kanna slapped his cheek. Even though she hit him with all her might, his face only slightly shook. He glanced down at Kanna expressionlessly, as if he wasn't even sick. He had eyes that were laughable.

"You are a dirty fraud."

"Yes. Maybe."

"I cured your addiction. But now you're going to change your mind?"

"Isn't that basic for a mean-spirited fraudster?"

"Yes, that's right." 

Kanna burst out laughing. She was so angry that she couldn't help but laugh.

Sylvienne Valentino, who would have thought that someone who always wears the mask of a polite nobleman would be such a ruthless person!

"Sylvienne Valentino, I don't hate you yet."

Although he hated Joo-hwa, Kanna did not personally experience Sylvien's mistreatment. That was the difference between Sylvien and the Addis family.

"And I have never forgiven anyone I hated." 

Kalen, Orsini, Isabelle, Chloe, and her father. Kanna still hated them like a burning flame.

"I don't know anything like forgiveness."

Then she grabbed his cravat. She grabbed it like a leash and pulled him roughly. He obediently bends his back and is dragged along. He faces Kanna.

"If you break your promise, you..." 

Kanna bit her lip, then spit it out.

"I will hate you to death." 

Kannq stared at his blue eyes as if they were going to explode.

"No, I will hate you even if I die."

For a moment, Sylvien's breathing stopped. He didn't even know it had stopped. He was just helplessly distracted.

As it has happened many times, just like that.

It's truly terrifying anger, and it feels like her skin is burning from the heat she emits. It stings, hot.

And he was helplessly swept away by the eyes, these eyes, these black eyes that were like a storm of fire. The intense heat penetrates the retina.

Sylvien would rather close his eyes.

Otherwise, he thinks he'll go blind.

***

Early morning that day. Kanna stayed up most of the night with her eyes wide open.

'You crazy bastard.'

She couldn't sleep at all.

'Sylvien Valentino, you crazy bastard.'

He's not crazy. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to say something like that.

'Why on earth are you telling the truth, why!' 

Puck! 

Kanna couldn't bear it and hit the pillow with her fist.

If, very if. As he threatened, if he didn't agree to break the marriage tomorrow.

'No.'

Just thinking about it makes her feel sick. If that happens, all efforts made so far will be in vain.

Divorce, how long has she been waiting for it?

The goal Kanna had as soon as she returned to her own body was divorce!

'No. No way.'

Kannq can't really predict how Sylvien will turn out. Because he didn't say anything more.

'You bastard."

He's like a dastardly villain. Kanna believed that he was a man who kept his contracts, but she never thought he would hit her in the back like this!

'I won't let you go if you don't keep your promise.'

She will take revenge using all the means, methods, abilities, and connections she has.

'I won't leave you alone, Sylvien.'

***

The next day, the marriage annulment ceremony was held in the chapel. Before the ceremony began, Kanna was waiting in the room. She stared blankly at herself in the mirror.

She was buried in a pure white wedding dress. The apprentice priest who helped with the decoration seemed to have praised her several times, but she couldn't hear it.

Kqnnq was just dazed. In the end, she couldn't sleep even a wink.

"We're ready."

At the apprentice priest's announcement, Kanna stood up. She walked away holding the bouquet like a weapon.

When they finally arrived at the chapel, the apprentice priest opened the door. Kanna took a step onto the long non-road carpet. At the end of the road, on the right, stands Orsini, her witness. And surprisingly, Sylvien's witness was Raphael.

What? Raphael?

Is he crazy? How can an apostate priest!

But the thoughts after that did not continue.

Sylvien, because she made eye contact with him.

He was waiting at the end of this road.

With his hair neatly swept, he was as beautiful as a statue in a temple. It seemed as if all the sunlight seeping into the chapel had melted into him.

As soon as she reached him, Sylvien held out his hand. Kanna gently placed her finger on the back of his hand. Sylvien immediately grabs it.

It was a resolute force.

Kanna had this ominous feeling that he wouldn't be let go again.

"Duke Sylvienne Valentino. Duchess Kanna Valentino,"

The priest who presides over the destruction ceremony quietly opens his mouth.

"The two of you are standing here today to break the marriage vow they made to God."

Yes, please, she would like to. 

Kanna's lips became dry. She felt strangely nervous.

"Before you break your pledge, I will spend a moment in silence and take time to reflect once again."

There's no need for that, so proceed quickly! 

Kanna suppressed her urge to scream out loud.

"Okay then, let me ask you the last question."

After a short moment of silence, the priest opens his mouth again.

"Duchess Kanna Valentino. Do you wish to annul the marriage with Her Excellency, Duke Sylvienne Valentino, whom you had welcomed as your lifelong husband?"

"Yes."

Kanna responded immediately. 

Then she saw Orsini standing next to her laughing. Does not matter. Ridicule it or not.

Because now only the last step remains.

"His Excellency Duke Sylvienne Valentino."

If only this person would answer.

"Do you want to annul your marriage to Duchess Kanna Valentino, who has been your lifelong wife?"

If this person answers, everything is over.

"..."

However, it was different from the time of Kanna. No answer comes back.

As the silence lingered, Kanna's heart dropped.

Is this person really trying to fight divorce?

As the silence grew longer, the priest glanced at Sylvienne quizzically.

"Your Excellency Duke Valentino?"

And the name was called again.

"I will ask you again. Do you want to annul the marriage?"

Next moment.

Finally, Sylvien's tightly closed lips opened.

"Yes."

It was a voice so plain that it put silence to shame.

"I will destroy it."
