SPMB - Chapter 174

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

Sylvien was lost in thought as she walked down the corridors of the imperial palace.

The Emperor was completely broken.

No one knew exactly when he started taking medicine or when he got so sick of it.

The problem was that not only the Emperor but also the Empress was poisoned.

It was so badly damaged that it was no longer possible to take care of state affairs.

Prince Argon's wanderlust also worsened day by day, and as he was no longer in the imperial palace, the job of stamping the Great Seal eventually became Queen Theresa's role.

It was funny.

A person who was once a low-level person is now the supreme decision-maker who decides the affairs of the Empire.

"Duke, where are you going?"

Sylvien turned around.

Theresa's daughter and second Princess, Lilienne, was approaching.

"It's really hard to see your face."

"Because the work is too heavy. Sorry."

"Have you considered the suggestion from before?"

"If you are talking about remarriage, my answer is the same as before."

Lilienne snorted.

"I just don't understand. Does the Duke have any better choices than me? I wonder how long you're going to put off remarriage."

Marriage letters poured in like a tidal wave not only from the Empire but also from all over the continent, but Sylvien seemed to have no intention of remarrying.

"Someone might misunderstand that you're doing this because you can't forget your ex-wife."

It was just superficial sarcasm.

No one thinks that way. Because Sylvien Valentino considered his wife like a stone.

Sylvien just smiled silently. After the conversation ended, Sylviene turned around. He walked calmly.

'Didn't you forget?'

No. He forgot.

Not long after his old wife died, Sylvien returned to his normal life. There were times when it occurred to him, but that was it.

Perhaps because he had lost everyone precious to him from a young age, Sylvien was familiar with death and was skilled at escaping the shock.

But when was it?

About two years ago, Sylvien became addicted to poison for the first time in a very long time. However, because this happened so many times that it was tiresome, Sylvien did not respond in any way.

He didn't even call a doctor, just drank a bottle of antidote and went to work.

When reading documents casually,

"I have nothing to say since you overestimate your health."

Sylvien turned around.

There was no one there. There is nothing left, not even transparent warmth, just a void. But her voice continued to be heard.

In his old memories.

"You can't believe you're so relaxed without even knowing what poison you've suffered."

"It was a stupid thing to do."

Yes.

It did.

She said this was really arrogant and foolish.

Did he thank her then?

There is no need to look back on his memories.

Because he obviously wouldn't have done it.

Sylvien laughed self-deprecatingly. He thought he was laughing. But there was no laughter.

There were many things left unsaid. There were so, so many.

Sylvien rang the bell and called the butler. And he commanded.

"Please call the doctor."

There were days like that sometimes. A day when, while going about his daily routine without any problems, he feels throbbing as if a festering boil has burst.

Has this been forgotten, or has it not been forgotten, or is it a process of forgetting?

He can not know.

"Please call the doctor."

A palace where doctors stay. After giving orders to the servant, he sat down on the sofa and waited.

After a while, the door opened quickly.

"Your Excellency the Duke?"

He heard a woman's voice, as if he had run away, out of breath. Sylvien turned her head. She walked in with an excited face.

A doctor from the Eastern Continent suddenly appeared one day.

This doctor cured the Empress's severe skin disease.

This doctor called a genius, was a young woman a few years younger than Sylvien. She was an exotic-looking woman with smooth ivory skin, dark black hair, and black eyes.

After the opening of cultural relations with the Eastern Continent, people from the Eastern Continent with black hair and black eyes poured in.

Their appearance was fascinating, their knowledge was rich, and their items were all ingenious and useful.

Thanks to this, awareness of people with black hair naturally improved.

If it had been opened even a little earlier, Kanna's life might have been different.

Is that why? Every time Sylvien looked at this woman, he thought of Kanna.

"I have business to attend to."

She stared at Sylvien with an ecstatic face.

"Please speak, anything."

***

"Welcome. I heard your words very well, Her Majesty the Queen."

A few days later, Kanna finally arrived at the Britsk estate.

"This is the rumored mercenary who was in charge of the guard."

The Lord blatantly glanced at Wren, as if he was very interested in him.

"I heard your skills are so great, but do you ever plan on taking the test to join the knights?"

"No."

"That's such a shame. Think carefully while you stay here."

Seeing that even the Lord covets him like this, it seems like Kalen has definitely made a name for himself in the mercenary world.

After that, a peaceful time passed.

She just thought it was like that.

***

It happened suddenly.

"My Lord!"

An hour ago now, a black fog suddenly appeared and engulfed the vi

During that short time, the village was immersed in chaos.

Fortunately, there was a priest in the village at the right time. Although they did their best to control the fog to prevent it from spreading to private homes, lives were lost.

"The priest was attacked by an infected person and died."

"Unbelievable."

The Lord's complexion turned blue upon hearing this news during dinner.

"But fortunately, Lord Orsini, who was passing by the territory, joined us and took care of the infected and demons!"

Clink!

At that time, the fork fell.

The knight looked away in surprise.

"Doctor? Are you okay?"

"Yes. Excuse me."

Kanna smiled and wiped her lips with a napkin. A servant quickly came over and brought her a new fork.

She asked calmly, raising her wine glass.

"So did he head back to the capital?"

"No. Many of the knights suffered minor injuries and came here to receive treatment. He arrived with them."

Orsini is in this castle now?

The Lord was also surprised and jumped up. It was a different kind of surprise than Kanna.

"You did well! Isn't there the best doctor here? Doctor Tatyana can treat you!"

Then the knight spread his shoulders and spoke proudly.

"Yes, I told you that the best doctor in the Kingdom of Yalden is in the territory."

"..."

"That's why you came to the doctor for treatment."

Did he do well? 

The knight's eyes twinkled, hoping for praise. Kann felt like throwing a fork at his face.

At that time, Lord Britsk, unaware of the circumstances, stepped forward.

"Doctor Tatiana, this is a great opportunity for me and you. Becoming acquainted with the Addis family will be of great help to your career."

"That's right. Let's go together now, Doctor. I will guide you to the wounded people's room."

Kanna's face turned pale. This was an unexpected crisis.

Should she say she's in trouble because she's not feeling well?

But what if she's been having fun chatting and eating with the Lord?

She could not reveal her relationship with Orsini. That fact was a top secret known only to the Queen, Princess Joanna, and Crown Prince Alexei.

So there was only one way. 

"Great. Let's get the tools from the medical room and go."

In the end, Kanna had no choice but to leave this castle.

"Let's go together."

"No, you don't need to go through that trouble. Just tell me which floor I need to go to."

After defeating the knight, Kanna quickly headed to her medical room. She then spoke to Kalen, who followed behind her.

"Wren, I have a favor to ask."

At the very least, it would be difficult for Kalen to encounter them while he was in this castle.

There wouldn't be a knight in Addis who wouldn't recognize Kalen.

"What is it?"

"You ask the cook to make a roast turkey while I heal the knights."

"Roasting a turkey at this hour?"

"You. I just finished eating, so I'm hungry. I want to eat after the treatment."

"Let's have a servant do that. My job is to escort you."

"Watch him make a roast turkey. To prevent anything strange from being included."

Then Kalen stared at her with strange eyes.

"Since when have you been so sensitive to poison?"

"New people have come to the castle. What if some madman poisons my food to prevent me from curing the Knights of Addis?"

"You're oversensitive."

However, since poisoning the doctor in charge of major power was something that actually happened often, Kalen grumbled but obeyed her words.

Roasting a turkey takes a very long time to cook, so he saved that much time.

'It will be enough time for me to get out of the castle.'

The best thing to do was to leave the place and ask the Queen for cooperation.

"Are you Doctor Tatyana?"

But the plan fell apart.

A knight was waiting for her in front of the medical room. It was the uniform of the Addis Knights.

'Female?'

Were there any women in the Addis Knights?

As far as Kanna knew, there was none at all. It was probably a knight who joined after she disappeared red.

Is that why? The knight spoke without recognizing Kanna.

"Lord Addis is there when he comes up inside. Please heal him first."

What? Who is there?

Kanna tried to back away, but the knight quickly grabbed her back and pushed her in.

"Now, please go inside."

Unable to overcome the force, Kanna's body lurched forward. The moment she entered the room,

Bam!

The door closed behind her.

"..."

The room was quiet.

In a room lit only by a single candle, the moonlight flowing in the darkness illuminated the man on the sofa.

Kanna swallowed her saliva and held her breath.

A red-haired man was lying there with his legs stretched out.

"Are you a member of the National Assembly?"

At that time, a tired voice came out.
