SPMB - Chapter 169

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

"Tatyana!"

Suddenly, the door opens without warning. Kanna looked behind her.

"Tatyana, I'm hurt!"

A tall man came in. Then he held out his hand.

"I'm dying from pain. Treat me quickly!"

Kanna examined his wounds. Was it a paper cut? 

There was a small drop of blood.

How can he make such a fuss over something like this?

"Your Highness has grown taller, but you still look like a child."

Lorenzo reacted sensitively to those words.

"I'm a child, but be careful what you say. I will soon be an adult too."

Has it happened already?

Kanna was inwardly surprised and stared at Lorenzo. Well, he did grow a lot.

Lorenzo, who turned seventeen this year, had grown so much over the past three years that Kanna had to look up to him for a long time now.

He was as tall as Crown Prince Alexei.

'When I first saw him, he was a little kid.'

He was a young boy who was shorter than her, but he went through a rapid growth spurt and will now become an adult next year.

Kanna felt the passage of time once again. Three years have already passed since then.

"I am His Highness the Crown Prince's personal physician. Doesn't His Royal Highness Prince Lorenzo have a separate doctor?"

"Oh, I don't know! I will be treated by you!"

However, his personality was still that of a reckless bully.

"Yes l, yes. I will treat you, so please sit here."

"Really?"

Lorenzo hummed excitedly and sat down on the chair. What's so good about it? Anyway, he's a strange kid.

Kanna silently applied disinfectant to his incontinent wound.

"..."

Lorenzo stared blankly at Kanna's face. The sunlight streaming through the window poured onto her face.

Lorenzo stared at her bright wheat-colored hair hanging around her ear, then slowly looked away.

Cheeks that look soft, long eyelashes sparkling in the sunlight, plump lips that are slightly parted...

Lorenzo, who was watching as if fascinated, swallowed his saliva. And he asked.

"Tatyana."

"Yes."

Kanna answered without even looking at him. 

"Is that rumor true?"

"What rumor?"

"People say you are Brother Alexei's mistress?"

Kanna lifted her head in surprise.

"Do you even know the word 'mistress'?"

Then Lorenzo's face turned red.

"Of course. I'm at the age where I know everything! I'm not a child."

"But it seems like only yesterday that you came to me crying the first time you had a wet dream."

"Hey! Aren't you quiet?" 

Kanna smiled silently.

About two years ago, he experienced a wet dream for the first time and remembered Lorenzo, who came to see her in tears in the middle of the night.

He didn't know what it was and thought he was sick.

"Damn it, really, bring it up one more time!"

"You should use kind words, Your Highness."

"So, tell me quickly. What? Are you really and Alexei rolling around in bed?"

Kanna was surprised again this time.

This little guy uses the vulgar phrase 'while rolling around in bed'?

Is he saying that he knows what it means for a man and a woman to 'roll around'?

"Oh my God. Your Highness, you really need to use kind words, don't you?"

"Damn it. How can I hear those words in my ears!"

"I am not His Highness the Crown Prince's mistress. So don't be swayed by such nonsense, Your Highness."

".... Is that true?"

"Anyway, where did you learn that? A government or a wallowing relationship."

"Are you afraid that I'm a kid and don't know such things? In a few months, I will be an adult too."

Lorenzo then sighed, perhaps relieved. And I muttered to myself.

"Just try it. I won't leave you alone."

"Do not worry. I will not do anything to tarnish the honor of His Highness Crown Prince Alexei."

Then Lorenzo's eyebrows twitched.

"That's not what I meant!"

"Yes?"

"Oh, shit. I don't know."

Why on earth is he doing that? 

Kanna looked at Lorenzo closely.

'Is it puberty?'

Well, it is a time of stormy weather.

Kanna decided to understand that he was acting strangely. She bandaged his finger and then organized his bookshelf.

Lorenzo stared at her back as she put away the books and then asked a question.

"Don't you want to become a noblewoman?"

For a moment, Kanna's hand stopped. But she soon got moving again and answered brightly.

"Why are you asking that?"

"My mother keeps refusing to award you a title. Trying to remain only as my older brother's doctor. Why don't you want to become a nobleman?"

Well, because Kanna wants to get a little less attention. If she gets attention, her past may be tracked down.

Kanna swallowed those words.

Instead, she turned around and faced Lorenzo. She smiled a secret, secret smile.

"Are you curious about me?"

"..."

Lorenzo looked at her in fascination, then suddenly came to his senses and shook his head.

"No! Not at all! Why me?"

"I thought you would. Your Highness, you are busy even if you are not, right? Have you practiced dancing a lot?"

"No."

"You can't do that. You promised to be Princess Agneritz's debutante."

Lorenzo frowned at those words.

"From what I heard, Princess Agneritz is very interested in Your Highness." 

"I don't know. I don't like Princess Agneritz. She doesn't even look like a woman."

"Yes? But the Princess is a very beautiful woman."

"Hmph. Well, she's still a kid. She smells like milk."

'She's the same age as you. Are you a child too?'

Kanna held back from wanting to tease him so much.

"Besides, she's a beauty, so I don't find her attractive."

"It's because of me. You grew up looking at me from a young age, so you're not impressed by other beauties."

It was meant as a joke, but Lorenzo's face turned as red as a tomato.

"Don't be funny, you ugly bastard!"

Then he slammed the door and ran out.

'His personality is really....'

At times like this, Kanna should have had Princess Joanna by her side.

Kanna sighed.

Let's be patient. It was originally said that during puberty, you do all kinds of strange things.

'But when I cured him, he obeyed like a duckling.'

After meeting him for the first time three years ago and treating him for Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Lorenzo opened his heart to her.

He followed so well that people could almost think of them as ducklings chasing his mother.

But at some point, his attitude changed. He was often angry and would startle and yell when they got close.

'Are you embarrassed to have been caught having a wet dream?'

If she thinks about it, it was after Lorenzo's wet dream incident that his attitude changed. She guess he feel embarrassed because of the shame he experienced back then.

'It's possible because it's puberty. I'll have to be more careful next time.'

***

"There you are, Tatyana. Come and sit down."

Queen Catherine smiled softly and invited Kanna to sit across from her.

For the past three years, Yalden's medical standard has grown significantly.

She established the poor medical common sense that did not even have basic concepts of cleanliness or disinfection and wrote a book that accurately described the efficacy of medicinal herbs from the Eastern Continent that were still unclear in this world.

In addition, she wrote papers that classified in detail how to diagnose diseases, treatments, and names of diseases according to their prognosis.

"I have bad news."

"Yes?"

"Lord Orsini Addis is coming to Yalden."

In an instant, Kanna's heart dropped to the floor.

Kanna clenched her fists.

Addis. Addis, Addis!

The name that she had completely forgotten and tried to forget came pouring out.

"But you don't have to worry. He just coming because he has something to discuss with Yalden about the Black Fog."

"Is he coming to the royal palace?"

"Is it so."

"..... I would like to go away to another area for a while."

"Yes. I think so too."

She must not encounter Orsini. That much was clear.

As expected, Orsini did not die.

He survived, returned to Addis, and became the heir apparent to the deceased Kalen.

That was the end of it.

Orsini neither reported nor tracked Kanna's survival..

'Because he has a personality.'

This is a guy who toyed with every single gesture of his hand and glared at her as if he were going to tear her to death even when she was falling apart.

That unbreakable pride, stubbornness, arrogance, and fiery personality will make it impossible to find her.

"Are you lucky that you have that kind of personality?"

But if they meet by chance....

'I'll kill you."

Kanna was sure.

Orsini will definitely try to kill her.

"Please take refuge in the Britsk territory. The Lord there is Gwain's cousin. I don't know the details, but I have given you a firm warning, so I will hide you well."

"Thank you."

"It would be best to move unnoticed as there may be unsuspecting tracking. For such secret work, mercenaries would be more helpful than royal knights."

"A mercenary?"

"That's right. However, there is no need to worry about safety since we have hired mercenaries who are said to be the best on the continent. Have you ever heard of the nickname White-Haired Ghost?"

Kanna also smiled along with the Queen.

White-haired ghost.

It was a very funny nickname, but in reality, it was a nickname given to him because he was a truly ghost-like person.

Kanna heard that one day, a white-haired mercenary suddenly appeared like a ghost, conquered the mercenary world with his ghost-like skills, and successfully fulfilled all requests

"Sure."

"He will escort Tatyana. But be careful. When I spoke to the servant who carried out this request, he said that he did not have an ordinary personality."

The Queen clicked her tongue.

"But they said his skills are clear. So, please rest assured and stay in Britsk for the time being."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
