SPMB - Chapter 207

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

"What?"

"You're such a terrible woman that you even took an arrow to gain my trust."

For a moment, Kanna burst into tears and became angry.

'Of course, I understand that you think of me as a scheming woman.'

Now that the plan was revealed, it was natural for Alessandro to think that way.

But this was really unfair. Moreover, hitting the arrow instead was almost an instinctive movement.

It was an action taken without any calculation or thought!

Alessandro, who had no way of knowing what was going on, gave a cold warning.

"Don't even think about doing anything foolish."

As Alessandro continued, Kanna clenched her fists.

She just can't bear it without saying a word!

"Well, It seems like your brother has a crush on me. Maybe he can give me what I want."

Maybe it was a mistake.

At those words, a fire lit up in Alessandro's eyes. He grabbed her collar and pulled her.

"Do you think you want to be thrown in a dungeon?"

A threatening voice rang out in front of her face.

"Keep acting like that. I will treat you so cruelly that you will miss your life in the Great Hall."

Kanna stared at his face as he got closer, his eyes burning with anger, and then laughed helplessly.

"Is it really possible?"

Does this man really raise her?

How on earth did such a miraculous thing happen?

'I don't know. I don't know. I can't do it.'

Wouldn't it be better to find another force?

Addis is not the only family that can protect itself from the hands of gods.

Valentino. There was one last option left.

"Alex, if you don't want your brother to help me..."

Kanna suggested with tired eyes.

"How about sending me to Valentino?"

Alessandro's eyelids twitched.

"I need someone to protect my child from the hands of the spirits. It doesn't really matter even if it's not you."

As she continued, word by word, Alessandro's eyes grew fiercer, but Kanna did not stop speaking.

"I have no intention of erasing this child. If you don't want me approaching your brother, send me to Valentino. I will ask for their cooperation."

It was a big mistake to say that Kanna was the child in this boat. Because it was a story that no one could easily believe.

He regarded it as a complete lie and developed distrust.

"So..."

Finally, he opened his lips.

"Do you think Duke Valentino will obediently raise your child if I let you go?"

"I should try to do that."

"Try? Do you think you can move Duke Valentino?"

"Alex."

Kanna laughed. It's as if he was a very naive person. 

"I think your brother can do what I want."

"..."

"If I work hard, Duke Valentino can be like that too, right?"

Of course, it was a bluff.

Kanna was just annoyed with him right now, so he made an odd provocation. However, there was no way she could sound like a bluff to Alessandro, who had seen Largos stumbling a moment ago.

"Yes?"

Alessandroo's grip loosened.

Tuk. 

His hands fell down.

Alessandro leaned against the door with his arms hanging down. His red hair shook slightly as he lowered his head.

"Try it."

"... What?"

"That effort."

Kanna was embarrassed. What is he talking about?

"Try it for me."

He slowly raised his head. He tilted it up at an angle. Their eyes met.

"Move me."

His gaze was like a bar.

For a moment, it felt like her heart was being pierced, and Kanna stopped breathing. She couldn't move.

Her stomach felt hot.

It was a very long eye contact. It was deep as if it had been penetrated all the way inside.

"Sir Alessandro!"

How long has it been like that?

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

The tightly pulled string snapped at the noise. Kanna let out her held breath.

"This is Theodore. Can I come in?"

It was like waking up from a dream.

Alessandro had that kind of expression. He dried his face with one hand and answered.

"Come in."

Suddenly, the door opened. Theodore came in excited.

"Sir Alessandro, I have some very good wine...."

Did je feel an unusual atmosphere? 

Theodore stopped his words.

"What's going on?"

"Oh, I brought you some very precious wine."

He glanced at Kanna.

"You seem to be talking about something important, so I'll head back for now."

"There is no need for that."

Alessandro caught him quickly.

"You can stay."

Theodore tilted his head at the words that were more firm than necessary.

"Great. Then shall we have a drink?"

This is what happened in the end.

Kanna laughed self-deprecatingly. Really, it's hard. What else can she do here to move Alessandro? 

In the first place, it was possible...

"...?"

Kanna turned her head at the scent that suddenly passed her nose.

Before they knew it, Theodore was pouring wine into Alessandro's glass. Kanna stared at the red grape-colored liquid.

'What is this scent?'

It was a scent that Seon-hee's body remembered.

'This scent is definitely... '

The moment she was sure,  Alessandro raised his glass.

No!

Kanna ran over to him and slapped his hand away.

Clink!

Wine glasses fly away. It hit the wall and shattered into shards of glass.

Alessandro seemed surprised by the sudden action. He soon glared at her with his fierce face.

"What is this?"

'What did I do to save you!'

How should she explain this? 

Kanna thought for a moment and then let out a sigh. Again, it was best to tell the truth.

"There's poison inside."

"What?"

"It's a poison created by the Black Apostle."

That was a poison developed by Jerome.

The characteristic feature is the strong scent that is currently vibrating in the room. She knew it well because Seon-hee personally helped manufacture it.

"What did you just say?"

Theodore immediately objected with a displeased look on his face.

"You mean I was trying to poison Sir Alessandro?"

"You don't know that."

"Wow, she's really funny."

Theodore burst into laughter and complained to Alessandro that he was unfair.

"Sir, have you heard about this woman? She is turning me into a black apostle!"

Alessandro stared at Kanna and asked.

"Can you take responsibility for that now?"

"Sir Alessandro!"

At that time, Theodore picked up the glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp. 

Gulp, gulp, the neck of the neck shook.

"Now, look!"

Then he wiped his lips and held out the empty glass.

"I drank it all! But see, nothing happened. And nothing will happen! There is nothing poisonous about this wine!"

Kanna snorted.

"Of course, you drank the antidote beforehand."

"W-what?"

"Or you could have put it in your mouth and passed it along."

"Oh my God. Sir Alessandro, do you believe that?"

Alessandro was naturally on Theodore's side.

"Theodore Azel is like a close friend of mine. He is someone I can trust to have my back when fighting the Black Apostles."

For a moment, Kanna's ears perked up.

Theodor Azel? If it's Azel, it's definitely Claude's last name....

"We have been together for ten years and have built trust. Unlike you..."

"..."

"Are you trying to create a wedge between me and Theodore? For what purpose?"

Alessandro's eyes flashed menacingly. Suspicions that had previously been allayed rose to the surface.

"What are your intentions?"

Theodore, who was watching quickly intervened.

"Sir Alessandro, let's call an alchemist to check for toxicity. Things like this need to be made clearer."

At those words, Kanna's suspicions were solidified.

'I'm sure I know what I'm saying.'

If you test the wine, no toxicity will be detected.

That poison is so unique that it loses its toxicity in one minute, two minutes at the most, after exposure to air.

In other words, it was a terrible poison that left no evidence anywhere.

'I have to prove it before that.'

If the toxicity of wine disappears, she will become a liar and a rift. If that happens, it will raise all kinds of suspicions, and in the end...

'I'm really done with Alessandro.'

He will never raise her or Kanna Addis.

'How long has it been since you uncorked it?'

It was definitely over 30 seconds, no, 40 seconds.

50 seconds? 60 seconds?

Or not.

'Damn it.'

Kanna sighed in desperation and stretched out her hand. She picked up the wine bottle.

There is a way to prove poison.

There is only one way.

Was this behavior unexpected? Alessandre's complexion hardens. Kanna smiled brightly, looking at his slightly embarrassed eyes. 

"You get the antidote yourself. Whether you search the body of your best friend, rob his room, or torture him."

She's sure she'll have a spare.

"You.....!"

Alessandro stretched out his hand as if to dissuade her, but it was too late.

Kanna drank the wine in one go.

Gulp, gulp. gulp.

The effect appeared immediately.

Clink!

'Ugh. as expected, Jerome, you're good at it....'

It felt like lava was boiling inside her stomach. It swelled hotly and exploded at once.

"Cough!"

Kanna covered her mouth with her hand. But she couldn't stop her blood from dripping.

'It hurts inside.'

Then she blinked, closed her eyes, and then opened them. Her body fell down without her being aware of it.

'When did I collapse?'

At that time, a strong force lifts the body. It was Alessandro.

"..."

He shouts something with a pale face. But I can't hear what he's saying.

She couldn't hear. Kanna weakly opened her mouth. Her voice didn't come out, so only her lips moved.

'Save me unconditionally.'

'If I die. I will kill you.'

Kanna finally lost her mind after that.

***

"There it is again.'

When she opened her eyes again, she was there.

Blossoms fall like flower rain, a gap in the World Tree.

Kanna was in that dream again.

'Is this really a dream?'

This proved the hypothesis that the soul bounces around depending on the state of the body. She guessed she just ate the poison, so she threw it away.

'Seon-hee must have returned to that body, right?'

But this time Kanna was relieved.

No matter how hard she tries to find an antidote, she will still suffer from the aftereffects of the poison for a while. She probably doesn't have the stamina to attack or curse anyone.

'Who is that person?'

Kanna was looking around for Raphael when she noticed an unfamiliar figure behind him.

'Is it Kalen?'

The back view with white hair hanging down.

However, seeing as he was wearing a pure white robe, he didn't look like Kalen.

Kanna walked closer to the white-haired man.

The moment Kanna sees that face..

It felt like her entire soul was frozen.

"..."

The white-haired man...... It was an old man.

He was about eighty, or maybe ninety?

Gray hair, serene purple eyes, and a handsome face despite being an old man.

'Raphael?'

Raphael had become an old man.
