SPMB - Chapter 206

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

"Put this down."

Alessandro shook off Kanna's hand.

"Did you think I would believe that bullshit?"

After saying that, Alessandro stood up straight away. He threw Seon-hee's diary into the fireplace.

"I got caught up in a similar scam."

Suddenly, the flames engulfed the diary.

Looking at that scene, Kanna realized.

She failed.

"I guess it was your intention to show me this. You were planning to buy my sympathy."

Alessandro also realized this.

That this woman approached him to take advantage of him.

"It was your intention from the beginning to have me raise your child. Is that why you saved me from the Black Apostle?"

It was a question, but no answer was needed.

Because he already figured it out. No matter what excuse she makes, he won't be believed.

Alessandro laughed. He can't believe he almost got fooled by such a trivial trick.

He placed his hands on the table and bowed.

He brought his face close to the absolutely disgusting woman. He chewed it up and spit it out.

"It doesn't matter whether you are Seon-hee or, as that bullshit says, Seon-hee's daughter. Both of them are worthless to me..."

The next moment, his words stopped.

"..."

His lips stiffened.

Kanna carefully grabbed his sleeve. As if grasping the only rope that fell in front of her, like that.

"I understand why you're so upset. But I only have you...."

"..."

"You are the only one for me. So I have no choice but to hope for your mercy."

Then she put down the clothes.

"..."

Alessandro did not answer. He closed his mouth tightly and clenched his fists. His thick veins bulged on the back of his hand.

There was silence like that for a while. Kanna calmly waited for his disposition.

"You..."

Finally, he opened his lips.

Kanna raised her gaze and watched his mouth. When he is about to say something.

Suddenly, a knock was heard.

“Alessandro.”

Kanna almost frowned for a moment. 

How dare you disturb me at such an important moment!

"Can I come in?"

Alessandro glared at her and answered a beat late.

"Please come in."

Soon the door opened and a man's voice followed.

"Alessandro. I heard you have a special guest with you."

Now that Kanna thinks about it, the other person is speaking informally to Alessandro. She feels comfortable calling his name.

"Who is it?"

At that moment, a feeling of strength went into Kanna's spine. There is only one person in Addis who can do that, except the Duke and Duchess.

"Can you introduce me?" 

It's him. Kanna clenched her fists.

The man.

Largos Addis has arrived.

"What are you doing if you're not getting up?"

Alessandro warned quietly.

At that moment, a strong impulse surged through her. Should she just run away like this?

'No, it's late.'

Really, Kanna didn't want to meet him.

Kanna held back a sigh and got up from the chair. And she slowly turned her body.

"..."

The next moment, her eyes met the man.

Immediately the man's feet stopped. He becomes stiff as if someone has been struck by lightning.

'He fell in love.'

Kanna smiled bitterly as she faced his trembling green eyes.

'It was love at first sight.'

At this moment, Largos Addis fell in love with Seon-hee at first sight.

And it wasn't just Kanna who noticed it.

Alessandro, who was watching, also frowned at his brother's unfamiliar reaction.

"What's your name?"

Largos, who had been frozen for a moment, opened his lips.

"My name is Seon-hee."

"Seon-hee."

Largos swallowed those words quickly. He rolled it around in his mouth as if sucking on a sweet candy.

"Seon-hee, Seon-hee......."

Then he grinned.

"It's a pretty name."

***

Everything changed with the appearance of Largos.

"Move her to my bedroom." 

Largos over to Alessandro.

"Don't worry, Alessandro. I will watch over Seon-hee on your behalf."

Alessandro thought for a moment. Is there any reason not to? 

No, there isn't.

"Of course."

Unlike Alessandro, who was perfectly calm, Kanna was filled with ominous forebodings.

'I don't think I'll just leave it alone.'

And the premonition was correct.

"Come on. Let's have a glass of wine and talk."

Largos didn't seem to have any intention of putting her to sleep right away,

"I'm sorry, but I'm pregnant."

She refused, emphasizing the word 'pregnant woman', but he immediately had a servant bring out carbonated water.

"Is this okay?"

"Yes"

It seems like he won't go away easily. Kanna decided to just get over it quickly and gulped down the water.

"Isn't it inconvenient to wear gloves?"

"It's okay."

"Just suffer for a while. If your innocence is proven, you won't have to be treated like this anymore."

However...

'What on earth is that?'

Something that kept bothering her.

'Why are you piling up carrots?"

On the table, in a basket, were piles of neatly trimmed scarlet carrots.

'Don't they usually put fruit in it?'

There are things like grapes, bananas, and apples available, so why carrots?

"Is that real?"

"Oh. This?"

Largos grabbed a carrot and held it out.

"Check it."

Kanna held the carrot and examined it. It was real.

"Because I really like carrots."

"..."

"When I was young, I secretly ate my little brother's food and it got better. Alessandro was an uncharacteristically picky eater."

Largos said this and raised his index finger above his lips.

"This is a secret, and I'm only telling it to you."

Those words passed through her head like a flash.

Wasn't that information only the Black Apostle knew?

So wasn't Alessandro convinced that Prince Argon was the Black Apostle?

'No, because Largos was already dead at that time."

Of course, they would be excluded from being those who know.

At that time, Largos got up and sat down next to her.

"What?"

Kanna's eyes widened. What is he doing now?

"You said it was Seon-hee."

His face comes closer. He murmured, stroking her cheek with ecstatic eyes.

"It's even more mysterious when I look at you up close. Like a porcelain doll..."

Wow!

Largos's face suddenly turned. Kanna suddenly hit him with the carrot she was holding.

"..."

Largos was dumbfounded and touched his red cheek.

He seemed like he couldn't believe what he had experienced. But he soon realized it was reality and mumbled.

"This is my first time getting hit with a carrot. But why did you hit me?"

"Why are I hitting you..."

Kanna pushed his shoulder while holding back what she wanted to say, crazy bastard.

"Get out of the way."

However, Largos still did not understand this situation.

"Do you hate me by any chance?"

"So does this look like something I like?"

"..."

Largos blinked, then finally realized she was serious.

"Sorry. I didn't know you would hate it."

He looked a little embarrassed and scratched his cheek.

"I've never been rejected in my life. This is the first time I've seen a woman who doesn't like me."

He was extremely self-conscious.

But it didn't seem like a lie. After all, it would be very difficult to find a woman who would reject the heir to the Duke of Addis.

"You've seen it now, so be careful in the future."

He spoke coldly and straightened up.

"Where?"

"I'm going back to Alex."

"Alex? Do you call my little brother that?"

Largos tilted his head.

"Alessandro absolutely hates that nickname."

Kanna ignored his words and walked towards the door.

"It's no use going, Seon-hee. Since I said I would keep an eye on you, Alessandro won't accept you...."

Largos' words became blurred. He grinned and nodded toward the door.

"He came at the right time. Or ask him directly."

What is he talking about?

But Kanna soon realized what he meant. The next moment, the door burst open and Alessandro walked in.

"..."

His eyes lingered on her messy black hair for a while before turning to Largos. Largos greeted calmly. 

"Alessandro, what happened..."

"I heard screaming."

Alessandro interrupted him.

"Did you touch her?"

For a moment, Largos was speechless. But he soon admitted, smiling awkwardly.

"Yes. But I failed."

"Don't you know that this woman is pregnant? Don't be a beast."

It was a blatant criticism. At those words, the smile disappeared from Largos's face. Rather than being angry, it seemed like he was so surprised that he was speechless. 

"Your judgment seems to have been impaired, so I will take charge of  this woman for the time being." 

"Okay."

Largos did not want to clash with Alessandro. He was a younger brother who usually didn't go against his words, but he knew that if he wanted to, he could take everything away from him. Largos was an older brother who had to respect his younger brother.

And apart from that, he apologized to the woman.

"Seon-hee, I'm sorry for surprising you earlier. I won't do that again." 

That was his sincerity.

"Will you forgive me?"

Kanna shook her head. It was a clear rejection. Then Largos closed his eyes and smiled.

"Then I will wait until you forgive me."

And added.

"I like waiting for a beautiful woman."

***

"Did I interfere?"

Kanna returned to Alessandro's bedroom. And as soon as the door closed, Alessandro spoke.

"What?"

"I thought I was in the way."

What is he talking about?

Kanna looked up at him with a tired face. Alessandro's eyes were very dark as he looked down at her.

"It would have been an opportunity to take advantage of my brother."

There seems to be a huge misunderstanding right now.

So, since she failed to trick Alessandro, does he think she changed her target to Largos?

"It's not like that."

A sigh came out of her mouth. Kanna muttered, clutching her throbbing head.

"If that were the case, I wouldn't have rejected him."

"Well."

Alessandro did not believe her...

"Maybe that was part of your plan."
