SPMB - Chapter 168

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

Kanna finally had an audience with the Queen of Yalden.

"Raise your head, Tatyana Eugenia."

Queen Catherine was different than Kanna thought.

'Are she the conqueror?'

She was so kind that seemed like she couldn't kill even an ant. People said that this woman was a conquering King who unified the divided Yalden and went undefeated in the process.

"I know you very well. What you did was very impressive. In particular, solving the madness that had ruled Palen Island for a very long time was truly amazing."

Catherine smiled and continued.

"But foolishly, the Isaberg royal family did not give you even a prestigious position in the National Assembly. If they had polished you well, you would surely have become a jewel that would shine the Empire."

Then she clicked her tongue.

"The Addis and Valentino families raised the status of the Aslan Empire, but the Isaberg royal family remained at the top for too long without any effort. Water that has been stagnant for a long time is bound to rot."

The Queen spat out a great deal of vitriol with a very kind face. And she naturally changed the subject.

"Yalden is a very excellent country in many aspects, but only one. The level of medical care is inferior to that of the empire."

"..."

"So, Tatyana Eugenia, please understand Yalden's medical situation, analyze its shortcomings, and come up with improvements."

The Queen smiled as she drank her tea.

"If we succeed in raising it to the level of the Aslan Empire, we will reward you accordingly."

"I will do my best, Your Majesty."

"But before that..."

But at that moment, the Queen wiped the smile off her face.

"I want to determine whether your reputation is real or fake."

Now, the story she heard from Alexei will come out. Kanna guessed that.

"The second Prince, Lorenzo, has been suffering from an unidentified illness for several months."

As expected, it was like that.

The illness of the youngest Prince, Lorenzo. There were many reasons, but in the end, the most important thing was curing the Queen's son.

"Treat Lorenzo, Miss Tatyana. Everything starts after that."

***

"Go away!"

Clink! 

The vase was broken.

Kanna stared at the shards of glass. Far away, the shattered pieces on the other side of the room.

"All doctors are liars! They are all scammers!"

Kanna suddenly thought of Amelia and felt like laughing, but she held it back.

Maybe thirteen? 

Lorenzo Friedrich was still a small boy. However, he was a handsome boy who looked like he was in a picture because he looked so much like Crown Prince Alexei.

"Loren, you bastard!"

Joanna strode forward and struck the boy on the head, puck!

"Do you feel like a King because you're sick? uh? It seems like everyone has to please you, right? Huh?"

Knock, knock!

Lorenzo burst into tears as he was hit one after another.

"Wow! You devil!"

"What kind of habit of speaking to your sister is that!"

When Joanna tried to hit him on the head again, Kanna quickly blocked her.

"Princess! Please stop it!"

"I will correct this child's habit today. There's a limit to telling people you're coming when you're sick!"

"He's a patient! You can't treat him like that!"

"Huhhh. You devil! Devil!"

"What? You come here! Why don't you come here?"

After a while, Kanna, who had managed to calm down the rampaging Joanna, was completely exhausted.

"Princess Joanna. I'm sorry, but could you please leave?"

"But that crazy colt might attack Tatyana again." 

You're the crazy colt! 

Kanna gritted her teeth and laughed.

"The most important thing for patients is mental and physical stability. I'm sorry, but please leave."

When Joanna left sullenly, peace finally came to the room.

Then Lorenzo looked at her with admiration and respect. It's roughly equivalent to 'I can't seem to get rid of that devil.'

'is he royal family?'

It was completely different from the relationship between the Isaberg royal family and their families, who seemed to be standing on a sharp plate of ice.

"Prince Lorenzo."

"Uh, huh."

"I understand that you distrust doctors because your illness has been prolonged. But you shouldn't give up. You only have one body, right? The moment you let go, it's over."

Kanna smiled softly as she wiped away the boy's tears. Lorenzo's cheeks turned bright red.

"You're having trouble seeing. I guess it's out of focus?"

"Huh, how did you know?"

 "You can't even feel the soles of your feet, right?"

"Uh! Uh! That's right! What? Did you hear it beforehand? How did you know?"

Kanna didn't hear it in advance, she just came closer and looked. Even though he was looking at her, his gaze was slightly off somewhere, and even though there were broken glass shards under his heels, Lorenzo couldn't feel it at all.

Kanna lifted his feet and pulled out a piece of glass.

'Double vision is a paralyzing phenomenon.'

Upon examination, he had pain in both legs and buttocks and was completely numb in his feet. Additionally, he was unable to raise his right leg and was unable to walk on his own.

"Did you ever have severe diarrhea before you got this sick?"

Then Lorenzo looked at her as if she were a ghost.

"How did you know that?"

Because that is the prelude to this disease. Kanna found this situation fascinating.

'Now that I think about it, the patient I cared for right before returning to this world was suffering from this disease.'

Guillain-Barré syndrome.

This is a rare disease that very few people suffer from, and it was a disease that Kanna was being treated for when she was in the body of 'Joo-Hwa'.

'He couldn't get treatment until the end.'

Coincidentally, the patient was also a young boy.

It was amazing.

Now that she has entered a new life, she can't believe she met someone similar to the patient she was unable to treat.

***

When Kanna went outside, Alexei was waiting for her, leaning against the wall.

"How is it? Can you heal my brother?"

"There is enough promise. But it will take quite some time. If he had been treated at the onset of acute inflammation, he could have been treated relatively quickly, but the nerves had already been damaged..."

"What about hair and eyes?"

"Yes?"

"You. How did you change the hair and eye color?"

Kanna stroked her hair.

His hair had changed to a bright light brown color reminiscent of a wheat field, and her eyes were pink.

"I requested it from an alchemist."

"Yes? It seems there are many excellent alchemists in Aslan. I didn't know such technology existed."

Alexei raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

"By the way, have you heard the news?"

"Yes?"

You must not have heard, Alexei muttered to himself, holding out the newspaper to her.

What kind of news is this?

Kanna opened the newspaper with a sour face.

< Kalen Addis, falls to death from the steeple >

***

"This..."

Shin-ryeong sighed sadly and closed the newspaper.

"The Addis family is in ruin."

After Kanna, Kalen died.

Looking at the circumstances, it seemed like Kalen could not bear Kanna's death and followed her.

"I can't believe that Kalen Addis met such an unfortunate death.... "

The spirit laughed.

"Blood can't fool you, right?"

He sat down and leaned against the huge roots of the World Tree.

The tree was as black as if it had been burned to death, and the black magic stones densely embedded on it sparkled.

He took out one of the magic stones and looked at it.

"Kanna, my poor daughter."

However, there was no sadness in God's black eyes. There was no regret.

Fortunately, he recently found a replacement. So even if he doesn't have Kanna, there is a way.

"This is all thanks to Alessandro.'

He accepted Kanna's divorce and sent her to the great temple to annul the marriage.

"There's no way he wouldn't have known that Kanna's blood was being collected when she entered the Great Shrine."

Even though Alessandro knew that he sent her to the Great Hall? Or, did he not know?

There's no way Alessandro didn't know. Maybe he was losing his mind.

Alessandro sometimes loses his temper if he doesn't take the medicine given by Celia and the alchemist. 

"I don't know what's inside.'"

Regardless of Aleasandro's true intentions, the spirit obtained Kanna's blood.

Thanks to that, there was no longer a need to chase Kanna.

Because a foreign body more complete than Kanna was brought here.

At one point while he was humming, the downy hair stood up on the back of the spirit's neck.

He slowly turned around.

"This...."

A black ghost was standing there. Everything was black and red. There were red blood stains on his cheeks. And his hands.

In its rugged grasp was the head of the executioner whom the spirit had always cherished.

"You're being selfish, Raphael. You ignored me so much when I called you, but then you invaded so rudely. What did the other bailiffs do?"

"Behind."

Raphael gave a short answer.

Behind?

The spirit narrowed his eyebrows.

Are you saying there are corpses piled up in the back?

"Father."

"Yes, son."

"I changed my mind."

A shiver ran down the spirit's spine. He stood up calmly.

"You sure don't want to get into a physical fight with this father, do you? This is the sacred main temple."

Tuk. 

The executioner's head fell from Raphael's hands.

He let out a low breath, then took a deep breath. It was the breath of a wild animal.

"In a place where blood relatives are eating each other."

Raphael lifted the hair that tickled his eyes with a blood-soaked hand. He bared his teeth and he smiled.

"There's no reason I can't kill you."
