SPMB - Chapter 185

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

"What's this?"

Wren was dumbfounded.

What on earth is this gem?

It wasn't just under the bed. When he opened the closet, there was a pile of gold coins there too.

'Did something like this ever happen?'

He was confused and hurriedly recalled his memories.

Yesterday, he arrived at the royal palace. He was assigned a room next to the client and rested there for a while. He wanted to smoke a cigarette, so he went out to the garden. He climbed a tree and smoked a cigarette while looking down at the view of the palace.

Then Tatyana. Wren saw her quarreling with her lover.

'And then I came back.'

After an unexpected fight with the client, Wren returned to his room, washed up, and went straight to bed.

And when he woke up this morning, there were all kinds of gold and silver treasures under the bed and in the closet.

'Wait a minute, this can't be right.'

He remembered what the client said about being robbed yesterday.

'No matter how I look at this, it seems like that...'

He suddenly noticed a card lying on top of the gold coin. He quickly picked it up and unfolded it.

< As you might have guessed, this is Tatyana's property. There wasn't enough time to hide it properly, so I left it here for now. >

The card had elegant handwriting written on it.

< This way you will have a reason to stay by her side longer. So dispose of it yourself. 

You know that no one will believe you if you tell them you didn't do it, right?

If you get caught, you will be accused of being a thief, so be careful. >

"What kind of bastard...?"

Wren muttered in a pained voice.

***

Kanna tossed and turned all night.

The thought of a spirit coming was something that bothered her, but the most realistic problem of all was money.

"All my property is gone."

Whose work is it?

Among those currently in this royal family, there is someone who can break iron with his hands.

Someone who can sneak into her room away from the guards. Except for Wren, who is impossible due to time constraints.

'Orsini.'

For him, it would be as easy as blowing his nose.

'It was also suspicious that he started first.'

But why did he do this?

The motive was unclear. Isn't it too sincere to say that it was simply done to feed oneself?

'I need to meet Orsini.'

Because she happened to have something to ask.

***

To meet Orsini, Kanna had to put on a robe. 

There are many familiar faces. She almost ran into Prince Argon a moment ago.

All kinds of distinguished guests had gathered for Amelia's engagement party.

“Lord Estea.”

Kanna managed to avoid being detected and arrived in front of Orsini's room by asking the employees.

"I have come to see Lord Orsini. Could you please tell him?"

"Please wait here for a moment."

Estea entered Orsini's room. And there was no news for a long time.

'Why is she taking so long?"

Has it been about 10 minutes?

When Kanna got tired of waiting and was about to knock on the door, Sir Estea came out.

"Sorry. I am late because I was helping Lord Orsini dressed."

"Dressing?"

"Yes. He doesn't have any servants, so I'm helping him."

She knows.

Didn't Orsini always hate having others dress him, so he always wore simple clothes?

But now he's getting help.

Kanna once again realized that he had changed.

"Please go in. He is waiting."

***

Orsini was sitting at a desk in front of the window, looking at documents.

Orsini reading documents. That's more shocking.

"Are you wearing a cravat? Orsini?

The dark blue cravat neatly tied under the stiff shirt collar even matched surprisingly well.

That wasn't all.

His usually tangled hair was neatly swept away, and he was wearing a tight-fitting shirt buttoned all the way up.

As long as he wore a vest and jacket over it, he could attend a royal party right away.

'It's my first time seeing you dressed so neatly.'

Kanna was taken aback by the neatness that seemed to have been cut to specifications. She even had the sunlight melting on his forehead.

"What is your business?"

For a moment, Kanna felt very foolish to ask, 'Did you sneak into my room and steal my belongings?'

Orsini at this moment was so aristocratic that he could not possibly be seen as a robber who would do such a thing.

"I have something to ask."

"You'd better hurry."

Orsini glanced at the pocket watch on his desk.

"I have to go to your lover's engagement party soon."

Ah. Engagement.

Was that today?

That's why he dressed like that.

That's why Sir Estea helped him dress.

Kanna muttered, feeling uncomfortable without realizing it. 

"Don't say lover. Not anymore."

At those words, Orsini sarcastically looked down at the documents.

"I guess you didn't know? I guess Crown Prince Alexei hid it."

He was very quick-witted. 

"That's nice. Did you run away from Addis to be treated like this?"

"I didn't come here to talk about that."

"Yeah, there's no way you'd come to me telling me such trivial things. What's going on?"

"There was a thief in my room. All my assets are gone. Did you do that?"

"Crazy bitch."

He laid eyes on her for the first time.

For a moment, Kanna was startled. Orsini's eyes were too dark. It was like lava that was boiling bright red and then burning black.

'What?'

Wouldn't a person being burned at the stake look like this?

Kanna was taken aback by those eyes, and distorted in despair.

Nevertheless, Orsini's attitude was the same as usual. He was just as normal as he always was.

"If you're going to talk nonsense, get out of there."

Kanna was silent for a moment.

However, she soon shook the doubts out of her head.

Whatever pain Orsini suffered was none of her business.

She spoke of her business plainly.

"The thief cut the lock by hand."

Orsini fell silent, and Kanna continued speaking.

"You're the only one in this royal family who can do that, right?"

"Why do you think it's just me? Your old husband is there too."

As for her ex-husband, Sylvien?

Kanna furrowed her eyebrows at those words. Now that she thinks about it, Sylvien must have come here too.

"There's no way he would do that."

"Duke Valentino is smiling elegantly on a fake day, so he must be mistaken for a gentleman."

Orsini laughed at her and flipped through the papers.

"The Duke is no different from me on the battlefield."

Suddenly, Kanna thought of Sylvienne's body.

Well, unlike his crystal-like face.l, his body seemed like a very dangerous weapon in itself.

"It can't be him anyway. He doesn't even know I am here. Even if he knew I was there, there's no good reason."

"I don't know. So stop talking bullshit and get out."

"This isn't the only business."

Kanna took a step. One step, another step. She moved slowly and approached the desk where he was sitting.

"I have something to ask."

As the gap got closer, the back of Orsini's hand holding the fountain pen was seen turning pure white. But his eyes were on the documents until the end. It felt like stubbornness.

"You said you saw someone just like me a while ago, right?"

"Yes."

"Can you tell me that story?"

"..."

"Orsini." 

When Kanna called his name, Orsini let out a sigh like a sigh.

"Right now, I'm busy."

It was a voice that seemed to be forced out from within. 

"I'll write it down in detail later and send it to you. So go now."

"..."

"Get out of my face."

It felt like a command and a plea at the same time. For some reason, he looked very dangerous. She didn't think she should push it any further.

Kanna, who received an ominous premonition, held her breath and stepped back. She left the room without saying goodbye. 

'Why is that guy like that?'

What on earth happened with her doll?

'Lee Joo-hwa, what did you do to Orsini?'

Kanna doesn't know what happened that day to change Orsini like that.

At that time, Kanna's feet, which were walking down the hallway, suddenly stopped.

A man was walking across from her. The moment Kanna saw his face, she completely froze.

It was a man with a halo behind him. It seemed as if the light flowing through the window was pouring only on him.

'Sylvienne.'

Sylvienne Valentino was getting closer!

Kanna quickly pressed the robe even deeper.

'I shouldn't get caught...'

But this hallway was narrow and Iong, so there was no place to avoid him.

Kanna lowered her head just enough not to be suspicious.

'Please, just pass by like this.'

Kanna politely lowered her eyes and walked away.

Tap, tap, tap.

The sound of footsteps is getting closer. As the gap between her closed, Kanna held her breath.

He approaches little by little, right in front of her.

And...

It was too much.

Kanna suppressed a sigh of relief. Thank God. It seems like he didn't recognize her either.

But why can't she hear more footsteps?

A cold chill rose behind her back.

Kanna swallowed her saliva and concentrated on the sound. She could no longer hear Sylvien's footsteps.

"For a moment."

Instead, she heard his voice. He called her.

"There. Just a moment."

Kanna's heart dropped. But she pretended not to hear and kept walking.

"Please wait a moment."

However, Sylvien still approached her. It was unbelievable that he was getting closer so quickly.

"..!"

Kanna bit the inside of her mouth tightly. His large hand was on her shoulder!

'You must be crazy!'

Sylvien, does he touch people's bodies without permission? Does anyone also have tuberculosis?

Kanna's head was dizzy with embarrassment.

As the hand holding her shoulder began to tighten, she became even more dizzy.

This person seems to be planning to check her own face even if he has to force her to turn around. It was behavior unbecoming of SyIvien, who was always polite to the point of being polite.

"Please let go." 

Kanna let out a modulation of her voice as much as possible. 

"You put your hands on the body of a Lady you're meeting for the first time. It's not polite." 

"I know."

What? He knows?

"Sorry." 

Sylvien calmly admitted his failure. He calmly apologized and declared. 

"I will be rude one more time."

Sylvien turned Kanna's body around.
