SPMB - Chapter 143

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

Is the remarriage of the Duke of Addis' daughter Kanna imminent? The opponent is His Highness Prince Argon Isaberg!

The man and woman who secretly left the party got into a carriage and disappeared into the darkness. Where did they go? And what kind of time did you spend?

Sylvien narrowed her eyebrows. Then he rang his bell and called the butler.

"Did you call me, Your Excellency?"

"Some vulgar newspaper started appearing on my desk."

The butler was surprised when he saw the name in the newspaper.

Aslan Scandal

It was a low-quality newspaper famous for randomly publishing uncertain rumors.

"I'm sorry, it was my mistake."

"It was a mistake."

Sylvien muttered in a voice filled with laughter.

"It's unfortunate that the person who makes this mistake is Valentino's butler. As an employer, I am sorry."

At those words, the butler's heart sank.

Although he has been working as a butler for over 10 years, there have been only a handful of times when Sylvien has scolded him this much.

The butler immediately knelt down.

"Please forgive me, Your Excellency, the Duke. I will never do the same thing again."

"Yes, you should."

Fortunately, there was no further problem. Sylvien gestured.

"Please get up."

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

"I heard that Countess Josephine Eleister sent you a letter?"

"Yes, that's..."

The butler stood up hesitantly and blurted out his words.

"She requested an increase in the quality maintenance fee."

"The cost of maintaining dignity?"

Silvienne stretched the corners of his mouth as if the word was funny.

"It's the cost of maintaining dignify."

Sylvien clasped his hands together and fell into thought.

"How much are you paying now?" 

"It's 2000 gold."

"Gee, this must be quite uncomfortable. In the past, she would have spent that amount in just one or two hours......."

It was like that. 2000 gold was only the cost of a dress that Josephine wore. However.

"Cut it down."

"Yes?"

"About a third of the current budget would be appropriate." 

The butler was speechless. Not even half, but a third? Then it would only be the cost of living for commoners...

There is no way Josephine, who lived in all kinds of luxury, could survive on that amount of money! 

"All right."

But the butler did not complain.

After the butler left, Sylvien focused on his work again. 

After a few hours, fatigue set in, so he put down the fountain pen and massaged the area around his eyes. At that moment, the newspaper comes into view again.

Is the remarriage of the Duke of Addis's daughter Khanna imminent?

A laugh escaped Sylvien's lips.

He impulsively snatched up the newspaper and threw it into the fireplace. It was an uncharacteristically.

The fire that engulfed the newspaper burns wildly. Sylvien quietly watched the embers. And he quickly came to a conclusion.

Whether she remarried or not was none of his business.

He didn't care at all.

When he thought about that, something from a while ago suddenly came to mind. The moment before the wedding annulment ceremony.

For a moment, it seemed like he didn't want to divorce her. It seemed like he was feeling anxious, which wasn't like him.

It may be because he doesn't want to change his familiar life or break away from old habits.

"I'm really sorry."

His body collided with the Lady and she lost her balance.

"You won't be able to touch your back but I'll clean it for you."

Now that he thinks about it, where did he put that handkerchief?

He doesn't remember.

Since he didn't throw it away, he must have stored it somewhere. Sylvien did something very useless.

'I'll have to find it and throw it away.'

Sylvien covered his face with both hands and rubbed his temples. He's feeling tired today. Maybe that's why his head was pounding mercilessly.

That night, Sylvien suffered from a headache.

For a very long time.

***

"Yes?"

Kanna couldn't believe her ears.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?"

"Shouldn't you also start looking into marriage? You had one failed marriage, but you're too young for that to be the end of it."

The Empress smiled kindly and lowered the teacup.

"I think Crescent would be a good match for you."

"..."

"He thought very well of you too."

A heavy silence fell. Kanna couldn't find the words to answer.

'This Lady must be crazy.'

Although Kannq was barely able to maintain a calm expression, her insides were burning.

Why not?

She proposed remarrying the Empress's son! Not even for a wife, but as a concubine!

"That is a very good offer, Your Majesty..."

Kanna chose her words, trying hard to resist the urge to curse.

"I have not yet washed away the wounds of the breakup. As you know, I have been in love with His Excellency Duke Valentino for a very long time..."

"Sometimes new encounters can be the best medicine."

The Empress cut her off with a smile.

"Crescent is very kind, just like me. He will be able to warmly comfort your wounds."

What does this tarantula-like woman say?

Kanna admired the Empress's thick facial skin. A vicious woman who tried to poison her daughter says s he is good!

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

The Empress's eyes sank coldly at Kanna's firm refusal.

"Are you rejecting my son now?"

How dare she?

The Empress held back what she wanted to say.

Kanna is still the talent she needs. She couldn't be messed with.

'She is divorced and has the position of concubine. She can't accept it gratefully!'

Crescent is the Prince who will become the next Emperor. Being the concubine of such a man should be considered an honor! 

'The next Empress must come from the Mercy family.'

She makes her niece an Empress and Kanna a concubine. It was the perfect plan!

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I'll pretend I didn't hear about this."

However, Kanna very firmly refused and then went back. The Empress's anger boiled over as she was left alone.

'How dare you reject my son?' 

At that moment, a crumpled newspaper caught the Empress's eyes.

Is the remarriage of the Duke of Addis' daughter Kanna imminent? The opponent is His Highness Prince Argon Isaberg!

Could it be that the rumors of an affair with Argon are true? 

'No, that's not enough. Absolutely not.'

Kanna's position has become surprisingly strong despite her recent divorce. In addition to receiving full support from Kalen Addis, didn't Alessandro Addis, who is famous for hating parties, even serve as her escort!

'Currently, Kanna can move the Addis family.'

What if such Kanna becomes connected to Argon?

What if the Duke of Addis supported Argon?

'No, that's absolutely not possible.'

Even if dirt gets in her eyes, she can't see it!

The Empress slammed the desk.

Kanna, who was rumored to be having an affair with Argon, was now a fatal danger to the Empress.

She wanted to assassinate her, but she was relying on her medicine. She was an indispensable being.

'All I have to do is bring her down to the point where she can't marry any family, let alone Prince Argon.' 

If that happens, she will gratefully accept the position of Crescent's concubine.

Is there a way to bring down a noblewoman to the point where she can't find a spouse?

The Empress found the most powerful and reliable method.

For example, being kidnapped and raped by city government thugs.

If such a rumor spreads, Kanna would not be able to marry anyone, Iet alone Argon.

'Of course, I don't want to bring such filth into Crescent's concubine.'

Kanna is dangerous, but she is just as necessary. So she had to break her legs and make her into her own person.

The Empress ordered her attendant.

"Send an invitation to Duchess Chloe Addis."

Chloe Addis, Kanna's stepmother, will help her. The Empress smiled happily.

She knows that Kanna is making medicine for her, and she was very thankful for that at one point, but...

If she thinks about it, it is natural. Doing her best for the royal family.

Isn't that a nobleman's duty?

She was offended that she refused to take her as his son's concubine.

'You're like a girl who doesn't know grace.'

***

A week has passed since Princess Joanna left.

Just before leaving, Kanna made a secret pact with Joanna.

'And they say the alchemy lab will be completed by tomorrow.'

It's really just around the corner now. Kanna's heart was pounding.

'I can leave the Addis family and the Aslan Empire.'

When she thought like that, all the Empress's crazy suggestions today flew out of her head.

"Sister, aren't you sleeping?"

At that time, the door burst open and Kalen came in. Kanna, who was reading an ancient alchemy book, immediately closed the cover.

"That's rude, Kalen. You need to relearn manners."

"Sorry. I want to see my sister as soon as possible."

Kanna frowned.

Kalen, who spoke softly, held a gift box and a beautiful bunch of roses in his hands.

"I do not need."

"No, you will need it."

Kalen smiled softly and held out a bunch of roses. At that moment, Kanna saw his hand messed up with his minor wound.

"This is a bouquet of flowers I picked myself from the garden." 

Kalen said as if she was proud of the scar.

"I got hurt while making this bouquet. How are you? Are you happy?"

Is he crazy? 

Kanna did not hide her disdain.

"Why am I happy?"

"Well, you hate me, do you? I thought you would like it if I was in pain."

He spoke casually and sat down across from her

"I hate you."

Kanna did not deny it. Kallen smiled bitterly at that reaction.

"But I love you."

Ugh. Kanna tried to suppress her stomach churning.

Now, it was hard to hear him talk about familial love even though it turned out that they were strangers who were not related by blood.

Kalen sat down and bent over. He stared at Kanna's distorted face as if appreciating it. He let out his deep, sinking bass.

"I love you."

Kanna really feels like throwing up.

"Stop. I don't feel well."

"Are you disgusting with me?"

"I know."

"I deserve it. If I think about it, I was really bad in the past."

Kalen spoke quietly and slowly straightened his back. And then he patted the gift box on his lap.

"So I thought about it. How can I receive forgiveness from my sister? And I came to a conclusion. Wouldn't it be okay for me to be in pain as much as you were in pain?"

Then he handed her a gift box.

"You can punish me."

"What is that...?"

"Of course, mentally I think I have been punished enough. But since you won't be able to see with your own eyes my pain-stained heart, of course, you won't be satisfied."

Kanna accepted the box he held out with a grumpy look on her face. Kalen's face was shining with a strange heat.

"But wouldn't it make you feel better if the pain was visible?"

Kanna opened the box. And then she stopped breathing.

"Do you like it?"

Kalen whispered quietly.

"You can punish me with that until your anger is relieved."

Inside the box was a whip.

While she was speechless, Kalen unbuttoned his jacket. When he took off his jacket, a shirt wrapped around my toned body was revealed.

"Let's get started right away."

"What do you want to start with?"

Kanna was so shocked that her hands were shaking.

Kanna cursed bitterly.

"You've completely turned around. You're out of your mind."
