SPMB - Chapter 208

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

“Ah!”

Kanna opened her eyes.

Heo-eok, heo-eok. 

Kanna caught her breath.

'This place... It's the bedroom.'

Kanna grabbed her head.

'What was that just now?'

Her heart was beating like crazy. Her anxiety makes her heart tingle with excitement.

What was that just now?

'Dream?'

No. This is not an ordinary dream.

Kanna was sure.

Twice, whenever she was in the worst condition, she was thrown out.

To that place. To the future. To her own reality.

To the moment when Raphael became an old man.

When that face came to mind, tears welled up in her eyes.

'How can that be?'

Did Raphael continue to wait there?

Keeping the drinking laws? How many decades?

Waiting for a woman who never comes?

Until he becomes an old man? For life?

"You came to your senses."

Kanna turned her head. Alessandro pulled up a chair and sat down next to the bed.

"Are you okay?"

"..."

Kanna looked at him with wet eyes and sighed.

'Let's come to our senses.'

First of all, she has to finish this.

It would be nice if it were a dream, but if it was reality and not a dream, she had to focus even more on this moment.

After making such sacrifices, she can't leave without gaining anything.

'Yes, you need to come to your senses.'

Kanna braced herself as if she was about to break down. She then reviewed the memories of this body.

As expected, Seon-hee came back.

But perhaps because she had been on the brink of death until now, she couldn't even come to her senses. It was fortunate.

"How does the antidote...?"

"As you said."

Alessandro's voice was very low. He was almost at rest.

"I found it on his body."

Kanna stared at him blankly.

It was night, and the room was dark.

Nevertheless, Kanna noticed that his face looked like it was about to break.

'Did you say Théodore Azel?'

He said he was like a close friend who had been with him for over a dozen years. Since such a being tried to kill him, of course, it would be a huge shock.

Alessandro chuckled.

"I almost died."

"..."

"I survived thanks to you."

Alessandro recalled a memory from a few days ago.

"Sorry. However, he said that if I kill Sir Alessandro, he can save my wife, my dead wife."

When the antidote was discovered in Theodore's body, he finally revealed the truth.

His wife died giving birth to his son Claude.

He betrayed Alessandro after being deceived by the absurd claim that they could save his wife.

"This is all because of her. Sir Alessandro said he was doing this by taking her away."

Theodore said with tears streaming down his face.

"Sir Alessandro said he would not stop as long as he was with that woman and her child. He said he would curse me all the time, and that he would continue to create traitors like me and stab me in the back."

Foam rose at his mouth. He seemed to be suffocating, grabbing his neck and gasping for air.

"Oh, damn it. I guess they did something to me too."

Theodore's eyes turned red and bloodshot. By the end, he was convulsing and shaking his body in pain.

"I'm sorry, Lord Alessandro, but please.. Please take good care of my innocent son and sister..."

That was the will.

His old friend died like that. Alessandro rubbed his eyes.

How did this happen?

He knew it without even thinking about it too deeply. Because he brought Seon-hee.

Great Hall, he brings that woman from that prison.

"Seon-hee."

"Huh?"

"I will protect you."

That's why Alessandro decided.

"I will protect your child too."

But regret did not suit him.

Rather than regretting taking Seon-hee with him, it suited his temper to beat up those who attacked him for that reason.

'Yes, that's right.'

They probably hoped that he would hate or resent Seon-hee, but Alessandro's vision was always clear. There was no such thing as being distorted by sadness.

Theodore was betrayed because of his own greed. It's not because of Seon-hee.

The one who attacked him was the Black Apostle. Not Seon-hee.

'Rather, Seon-hee saved my life.'

She saved his life twice by risking her own life.

Kanna looked at him with surprised eyes. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Can you promise?"

To her surprise, Alessandro smiled. 

"I will protect you and your child. I promise."

At that moment. Kanna's eyes seemed to go blind.

For a brief moment, her vision burned white and it seemed as if only this man existed in the entire world and the entire universe.

'This person will protect me.'

A man who will protect her. The man who will save her.

'It was you. Alessandro Addis.'

As she whispered that name into her mouth, a warm feeling gently filled her. Her heart felt hot..

Alessandro will never know.

How deeply his decision, his promise, had touched her just now...

He'll probably never know.

"Thank you, Alex."

Because all she can say to him is this one thing.

The moment she lowered her gaze, unable to look at him for long, Kanna noticed.

She was no longer wearing gloves. Alessandro probably took it off while she was lying down.

In other words, alchemy was allowed.

There can be no greater expression of faith in her than this.

'But it's a trust that will soon be broken.'

The emotion that had surged up to the end of her throat disappeared like bubbles. Her heart sank very deep and very low.

'It will soon be revealed that Seon-hee was in league with the Black Apostle.'

And when Seon-hee returns to this body, she will struggle many times to kill Alessandro.

The current Seon-hee was not normal.

She's half crazy. Dialogue and persuasion will never work.

She was just filled with the desire to kill everyone and return home.

'But I can't stay in this body forever.'

That's it. There is nothing more that can be done.

Someone is waiting for her in her time.

Raphael will probably wait until the moment he dies.

And Kalen, didn't she promise to return to him soon?

'I need to go back to my own time.:

There is work to be done in that world. The spirits have Joo-hwa.

Now Kanna knew very well what the spirit would do to Joo-hwa.

'The spirit will soon do something crazy.'

At that time, Alessandro stood up.

"Take a good rest. I'll just go now."

“Ah.”

In a moment of regret, Kanna unconsciously grabbed his wrist. Then he turned to her.

"Is there anything left to say?"

Kanna stared at him blankly. Then she laughed.

"Do you remember how I said I was the daughter of the owner of this body and that you would raise me?"

"Is this an aftereffect of the poison? You're talking bullshit again."

He doesn't believe it either. Kanna smiled her bitter smile.

 'Well, I guess it's impossible now.'

But one day he will notice.

"Alex."

"Why?"

"See you again."

Alessandro looked down with incomprehensible eyes and tapped the back of her hand. 

"If you don't plan on sleeping together, it would be best to let go now."

Kanna let go of his wrist.

The finger dropped, and he walked away.

At that moment, my fingertips tingled in the cold emptiness. 

"Good night."

The door was closed.

That was the end. It was a breakup.

This was going to be a long separation.

It will be a very long time before they meet again.

But this is not the time to have regrets. Kanna calmed down her emotions and immediately raised her body.

She can't delay any longer. Now it was time to leave.

But...

Why does she not want to leave like this?

Kanna fiddled with her hands and eventually took out a piece of parchment and a fountain pen from a drawer.

<To Alex.>

Yes. She has to do something like this.

Their friendship breaks down the moment Seon-hee returns. Alessandro will soon tremble with a sense of betrayal.

So she wanted to leave a letter like this.

< I told you this before, right? My mind goes back and forth sometimes and my personality changes.>

< Perhaps I will turn into a completely different woman, not the woman you knew. I will become like the woman who tried to kill you five times in one day.>

< Be careful of the me back then. Never believe me  Because i will try to kill you again. In particular, it would be a good idea to keep me from approaching your brother. >

Kanna wrote down all kinds of precautions on several sheets of parchment.

She traced Seon-hee's memories, wrote down her weaknesses, and laid out countermeasures like a guide.

< So you have to be careful with me. > 

< From Seon-hee. > 

After hesitating a little, I took another piece of parchment.

< To Alex. >

Kanna wrote another letter.

This time, with only her sincerity.

< I will definitely repay this debt someday. >

<Remember me as I am now. >

< Please wait for me. >

Okay, so, please....

< In the future where we can reminisce about the same past. >

< See you again. >
