SPMB - Chapter 147

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

At that time, the carriage departed.

'What do we do?'

Chloe bit her lip. Now that Kalen had lifted Isabelle's probation, she had no reason to send Isabelle back.

'If you do something wrong. Isabelle could be kidnapped.'

Chloe's mouth was burning from nervousness. All she could do was pray earnestly that the Empress had ordered to kidnap not a 'young woman' but a young woman with black hair' or a 'young woman with moles under her eyes'.

'If Isabelle is kidnapped... Not only Isabelle's honor, but my honor too will fall to the ground!'

Chloe was almost beside herself with all kinds of worries. The more she did, the more her resentment toward Kanna burned.

If Kanna hadn't done something useless, she wouldn't have been so anxious!

After such a crazy time, they finally reached the promised location.

Chloe's heart was pounding fast. It felt like his insides were burning.

And...

"Bandits!"

The work finally began.

Chloe's eyebrows twitched slightly. She trembled, clutching her lace gloves as if tearing them apart.

"Protect the carriage!"

The sound of cheers, metal clashing, and screams were mixed together. Chloe completely panicked at the noise.

Even from what she could hear from inside the carriage, the number of bandits was overwhelmingly large. Even though she with was the Knight of Addis, it was not a number that could be solved with just five!

"W-what is this?"

Isabelle muttered, completely frightened by the commotion outside.

"This forest is the private property of the Marquis Mercy! This is the first time I have heard of bandits coming out of this place! What the hell is this..."

It was then. A loud howling sound was heard as if the horse leading the carriage had been injured. And then the carriage sprang up.

“Aaaah!”

Chloe screamed and squeezed her eyes shut.

The carriage flipped over!

In an instant, the body flew into the air and crashed into the wall.

"Oh my God..."

Chloe couldn't even come to her senses due to the intense pain. Her head felt dizzy, and the sight before her eyes burned white.

Suddenly, the Empress's words passed through her mind. That she has to make some sacrifices.

"This isn't to some extent!"

At that time, someone roughly grabbed her arm and lifted her up.

"Take this woman away!" 

Chloe stumbled and barely opened her eyes. A man with a scary look grabbed her arm and dragged her like an animal. Chloe deeply regretted that strong grip.

'Why am I doing this?'

Why are they going through this trouble by making something like this happen?

Don't do it. Don't do it!

"Follow me!"

"Protect the Duchess!"

The knights of Addis ran after Chloe, who was being dragged away. Then the bandits ran away, swearing as they had planned.

"Ma'am, are you okay!"

The blonde knight hurriedly rushed over and supported her body. Even though she knew she would be rescued, Chloe felt so relieved that she would rather just collapse.

But it was not a time for complacency.

"Duke's Lady!"

"They kidnapped the Duke's daughter! Hurry after me!"

Finally, the thing she was most worried about happened.

Chloe's hands and feet were shaking. She was so overcome with fear that she wanted to cry.

Which of the two would they take? Who on earth!

Chloe quickly raised her head, pushing the blonde knight who supported her.

And confirmed.

"No!"

They were dragging Isabelle away

"Oh, no!"

Isabelle is being dragged away.

Her daughter, her daughter Isabelle, is being taken away!

'No.'

Chloe's mind turned completely white.

What were they supposed to do after they were dragged away?

For a moment, her reason was lost.

"Stop!"

There was nothing visible anymore. She couldn't think of anything. All that was left was the fear that felt like her head was on fire.

"It's not her!"

Chloe screamed desperately.

"It's not her! You got it wrong! It's the other side!"

But can't they hear it?

The bandit carrying Isabelle jumped up onto the horse and struck the reins.

“No...  No!”

Chloe felt like she was going out of her mind. They were kidnapping her daughter!

"You idiots! It's not that way, it's not that way! The girl you should take is not my daughter!"

"What kind of fuss is this!"

At that time, the Empress's words were heard. Chloe turned around, covered in tears. As promised, the Empress had arrived with her knights.

Out of respect and all, Chloe almost crawled over and grabbed the hem of the Empress's clothes.

"Your Majesty! They were mistaken! They took Isabelle, not Kanna!"

What the hell is she talking about, stupid bitch!

The Empress gritted her teeth. Even though her baby was kidnapped, she couldn't believe Chloe lost her mind like this!

The Empress shouted without changing her expression.

"What do the Imperial knights do! Chase the bandits right now!"

"No."

At that time, a low voice fell.

This voice...

"There is no need for that."

Then the same voice was heard again. The Empress couldn't believe her own ears.

The slow sound of horses' hooves echoed through the silence. The Empress raised her head with a dumbfounded look on her face.

Atop a huge black horse, a man with red hair was approaching. It was a scene she could not believe even after seeing it with her own eyes.

'Why is that person here?'

At that moment, an ominous feeling bloomed in the Empress's heart. It's wrong. Something was very wrong.

"How is the Duke doing here?" 

Instead of answering, Alessandro Addis jumped off his horse. The Empress quickly came to her senses and made a suggestion.

"Duke, first I will send the imperial knights...”

"There is no need for that, Your Majesty."

Alessandro politely interrupted her. At that moment, their eyes met. Goosebumps ran down the Empress's spine.

Sharp green eyes.

It was as if Alessandro Addis had ripped open her skin and seen right through her insides.

The Empress spoke hurriedly to hide her embarrassment.

"There's no need for that! Now Lady Isabelle Addis..."

The Empress's words became blurred. From somewhere, the sound of the horse's hooves was heard again. The sounds overlapped and came like waves.

Knights on horseback approached beyond the road where the bandits had disappeared. The symbol of Addis sparkled brilliantly under the pouring rays of light.

Alessandro muttered as he looked at the Empress's mesmerized face.

"My sons will bring them."

At the forefront were Orsini and Kalen. While holding the fainted Isabelle.

***

The maid Ariel was looking out the window the whole time.

'We're leaving!'

Finally, the carriage carrying Kanna, Isabelle, and Chloe left.

"You must notify him as soon as the carriage departs, got it?"

Remembering Kanna's instructions. Ariel hurried to Kalen Addis's office.

"Well, I have something to tell you."

"What is your business?"

Kalen was processing documents. They don't even make eye contact, as if it's a waste to even look at her.

"Actually. I've been helping Lady Chloe by her side lately."

"So?"

"She seems to be doing something very strange lately. It's related to Lady Kanna..."

At that moment. Kalen's gaze flew to Ariel. Just as she was startled by the clear look in his eyes, he jumped up from his seat,  walked towards her, and asked.

"What does that mean? Could it be that my mother is bullying her?"

"That is..."

"Don't hesitate and tell me right away."

Ariel stuttered and recited the lines instructed by Kanna.

"It seemed like Madam was exchanging strange letters with Her Majesty the Empress. It's a self-made plan to kidnap Lady Kanna..."

The more he heard the next words, the more fierce Kalen's expression became.

Is his mother planning to kidnap his sister, ruin her honor, and make her Crescent's concubine?

This plan is so disgusting that it makes Kalen shiver.

"What is the evidence?"

"Uh, none. Because she immediately burned the letter..."

"If what you say is false. I will cut you down myself."

Kalen immediately ran out of the room.

"They won't be ordinary bandits. Since they will be dealing with the knights of Addis, they must have hired first-class mercenaries."

So. Kalen had to bring the knights with him. He hurried down to the training ground.

At that moment, Kalen found Alessandro and Orsini sparring there.

"What kind of bullshit is that? You said the mother would do something crazy like that?"

Orsini, who heard this, said with a horrified expression.

"Of course, there is no evidence, but we must be prepared just in case it is true."

Alessandro, who had been listening quietly, nodded.

"I think it would be a good idea to go ahead and observe the situation.

It was very easy for three men with horseback riding skills who were among the best in the empire to overtake a carriage that had just started.

"I need to send the knight who is best at riding a horse right now to join the escort. Claude would be nice. Call him."

After a while, Claude approached and Alessandro gave an order. 

"Join the escort. And tell the other knights not to respond aggressively even if bandits appear."

Alessandro spoke as if warning.

"I have to make sure things really go as the maid said."

***

And Alessandro. Kalen and Orsini watched everything from afar.

The bandits really showed up and dragged Chloe away first.

A group of bandits appeared from behind and kidnapped Isabelle.

"It's not her! It's another kid!"

Even the scene where Chloe struggles.

Everyone watched.

Everything.
