SPMB - Chapter 129

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

Raphael was capable.

Not only did he find a hiding place, but he even made a delicious dish using trout caught from the lake. It was even delicious.

Yes, it was delicious.

"So."

It's gone.

Kanna put down her fork. Is it because of the shocking truth she just heard? 

Her appetite has completely disappeared.

"You mean you kept waiting nearby instead of going back with Sylvien? To make sure I return safely?"

"Yes."

"When you saw me running away with Orsini, you became concerned and chased after me?"

"Yes."

"The reason you attended the wedding ceremony as a witness was to see me."

"Yes."

He's out of his mind. Those words stuck to her lips.

"You are out of your mind."

Ah, I finally said it.

"Even if you want to protect me...Coming into the great hall was crazy."

Even though he came as a witness for Duke Valentino, he is an apostate priest. There must have been many difficulties before arriving at the main temple and while there.

In other words, Raphael risked his life for the wedding annulment ceremony. To watch her closely and help if something dangerous happens.

"For a moment."

No way......?

"On the way back from Palen Island, you were on the same boat as me. Is that your intention too?" 

Raphael raised his lowered head. He looked me in the eye and he confessed.

"Yes."

There is no power to be more surprised. Kanna just laughed helplessly.

It was no coincidence that Raphael appeared whenever help was needed. It was all the result of his efforts.

'It's clear that this mansion was prepared for me. 

"I prepared it for any unexpected situation."

Does he really want to protect her that much? Daughter of the spirit?

"I never thought you would secretly and deliberately follow my back with such a pretty face. Raphael was a scary person."

"Sorry."

"Is that all you're sorry about? I'm very uncomfortable right now.  I'm upset."

It's a lie. In fact, there was a separate reason for being unpleasant. 

'I liked it on a human level.'

It wasn't Raphael.

"If you punish me, I will accept it."

"Do you want to be punished? Would you like to stand with your hands up? Or should you at least get a beating?"

"If you want, I'm willing."

To be conscious.

He didn't even make an excuse. It was all for her, he might have defended himself like that at least once, but he didn't.

He simply acknowledges his actions, apologizes, and seeks punishment.

There's no flexibility. It's jammed.

It's really annoying.

"Raphael, you are my servant, right?"

"Yes."

"So you're mine?"

Raphael raised his head. He stared into Kanna's eyes.

"You are my master."

"So, you're mine?"

"If you take me completely."

At that moment, a strange heat flashed through Raphael's eyes.

"For me, I'm just grateful."

A pure desire flickers above the expressionless face. Kanna was momentarily overwhelmed by the intense temperature.

How did he endure it all this time? It was amazing how well he had hidden his wish to become her servant until now.

"Okay?"

Kanna smiled and got up from the chair. She then walked towards him as he sat across from her.

"Just words?"

Again and again. As the steps got closer, she could see the back of Raphael's neck getting stiffer. Kanna approached slowly on purpose, enjoying the reaction. She then sat down with her legs crossed on the table.

"You are my Master. Will I become your master just by saying these words?"

Kanna reached out her hand and caressed the collar of Raphael's black priest's robe. At that moment, his tension spread through his collar and down to his fingertips.

Daughter of the spirit. 

That a man who tears apart and kills monsters would freeze like this just for that reason...

'Funny.'

And it's annoying.

"Human beings are not something you can have that easily. What do you do if I just say I are the owner? You have to show it with action."

"Anything."

Raphael said quietly. It was a deeply hushed voice.

"If you say so, I will follow."

"You sound dangerous. Do you know what I'm going to order you to do?"

"I will do whatever you ask."

"Kneel down and kiss the top of my foot. Then I will believe you."

It was a grumpy grumble, but not to Raphael. Suddenly, Raphael's chair was dragged back. He immediately knelt down in front of Kanna.

'Uh.'

There was no time to stop him. He grabbed Kanna's left ankle, which was fluttering in the air. And then he lowered his lips onto the instep of her foot.

Hot, soft touch. 

A thrilling shiver ran through the area where his lips touched. It grazed her ankles and calves and quickly rose to her thighs. 

"I will sacrifice my body and mind to be loyal."

He whispered with his lips pressed together. Kanna could clearly feel her breath scattering and the feeling of smooth flesh moving on the tops of her feet.

Kanna felt like she was going to throw him off in a rude manner, so she clenched her fists until they turned completely white.

"Please believe me."

Raphael slowly raised his head. He looked up in silence with serene eyes.

At that moment, a feeling similar to before came over her. She are the one looking down, but you feel like she is being crushed under him.

"...... It's okay. Okay, get up and sit down."

He obediently followed her words. Like a good student, he gets up and sits down in his chair. It was shameful that he behaved like a slave and didn't change his expression at all.

"I don't know anything about Raphael. Only then can I say that you are mine?"

"If you have any questions, please ask. I will answer."

"Since when did you know that I am the daughter of a divine spirit, and how did you know?"

"I knew it from the moment I first saw you. I noticed it because you looked like him."

"Does Sylvien know too?"

"No."

"How did you come to see spirits? They say that unless you are a high priest, you cannot receive spirits. Moreover, I heard that it is rare for high priests to see a spirit's face close enough to accurately remember it."

"..."

"Or was Raphael a high priest? That wouldn't be possible."

The ranks of priests, excluding bailiffs, are strictly in order of age. It was a system of automatic promotion as the years went by. In other words, a young priest can never become a high priest.

"I had the opportunity to meet the spirit in private."

There was a chance? 

That means he won't go into detail. Kanna pretended not to care and moved on.

"How old is Raphael?"

"Same as Sylvien."

"At what age did you enter The Great Hall?"

"It came out when I was seventeen."

"Then it was 12 years ago. I also ran away from home around that time. Unlike Raphael, it failed...." 

Kanna paused for a moment and then asked the question she wanted to ask the most.

"Why did you come out?"

"I didn't want to follow the rules of the Great God Temple."

"What discipline? You can never go out of the main temple without permission?"

"..."

"Or do you have to follow the timetable set by the Great Shrine from the moment you are born until you die? Or, is it an incestuous marriage between priests who are like family relatives?"

"It's everything."

"Yes, honestly, I would have run away too."

However, even though he left the main shrine, his faith seemed to remain the same. That's probably why he volunteered to be her servant.

"Do you know anything about my mother? Her name is Seon-hee. She is an exotic-looking woman with black hair."

"I don't know anything about that. Sorry."

Kanna wasn't disappointed because she asked without any particular expectations. When she was about to remain silent, Raphael unexpectedly spoke up.

"If you plan to leave Addis forever, please tell me. Thorough preparation is required."

"Is it possible? If Addis decides to find me, it will be difficult."

"Of course it is difficult." 

Raphael admitted obediently.

"But you can if you want. Whatever it is, I can make it happen." 

It didn't seem like bravado. He really looked like he had the power to do that. What is the secret of that power?

'I can't completely trust Raphael either.'

Raphael has something to hide from her. She felt that confident. So she can't believe him either. Therefore, she's going to use this guy moderately and then throw it away.

Raphael said Kanna was his master. He told her to do whatever she wanted.

'So, you can throw it away as you like.'

Kanna smiled with a dark heart.

"Okay. I'll think about what to do."

***

Under the pretext of thinking about the future, Kanna rested for a few days. On the night of her first week, Kanna took a walk alone by the lakeside.

'What should I do?'

She is not the daughter of Alessandro Addis. She is the daughter of Shin-ryeong and Seon-hee.

Kannq was so shocked by that fact that she panicked, but now she had completely calmed down.

'I can't just trust Raphael and run away like this. It's like everything I've achieved so far is falling apart.....Should I just throw it all away and run away?'

It was then. A rustling sound was heard in the bushes. And then a man's face suddenly popped out.

".... Uh?"

Kanna blinked.

Brilliant blonde. Blue eyes. It was Sir Claude!

"Why do you come out there?"

"Young Lady." 

Claude smiled brightly and got up from the bushes.

"Sir Claude, why are you here?"

He came over, brushing off the grass from his hair and body.

"Ah, first of all, congratulations on your divorce. So, from now on, I'm going to call you My Lady. Is it okay?"

"You already called me that... How did you know I was here?"

"That's because I searched with all my might. Addis Manor is in complete chaos now, My Lady. Sir Kalen's eyes rolled back."

"His eyes rolled over... You mean it?"

"Yes. If they knew you were here, they would come get you right away."

Kanna understood what he meant. That means Kalen doesn't know yet.

"I advised you not to get close to that apostate priest. The way the priest looks at the Young Lady is not normal. He's annoying."

"Kalen said he doesn't know where I am yet."

Kanna completely ignored his words and spoke.

"If it were Kalen, I think he would have told you to tell him first."

"..."

"Sir Claude, you didn't come under Kalen's orders, did you?"

Claude closed his mouth. But he soon burst into laughter.

"Oh, sharp. I heard you're quick-witted."

She thought it was impossible, but as expected. Claude came under orders from someone else, not Kalen!

At that time, Kanna heard a voice behind her.

"Do you want to continue talking?"

It's Raphael.

Kanna wasn't surprised. Of course, she assumed he was watching from somewhere.

"Or should I stop cleaning him up now?"

Raphael was saying that he would deal with Claude if he wanted to.

"Look at that. You've been hiding and watching since a while ago, but things seem to be getting weird, so you're coming out now. Ugh, I'm scared." 

"Sir Claude."

Are there even jokes in moments like these? 

Claude laughed mischievously at Kanna's warning call.

"Sorry."

"Tell me whose orders you came here."

"Even so, I came with him. He's behind me."

Claude pointed behind a bush buried in black shadow.

"His Excellency Duke Alessandro Addis is waiting."
