SPMB - Chapter 217

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

"Ugly?"

The black-haired girl said.

"If you call me that, you'll regret it later?"

After saying that, she pushes him away and runs.

And the place changed.

It is raining. In the forest with heavy rain pouring down, he got down on his knees and looked up at the woman.

The sharp heels of her shoes were pressing down on his thighs.

She tried to speak at that moment. What a woman predicted when she was a girl. Those words stayed in his mouth the whole time.

"At that time, I....."

"Shut up."

She cut him off.

"I don't want to hear anything. Whatever it is, nothing."

Shoot, the pouring rain feels like violence.

"You must remain trash forever. Now don't you dare try to be something else."

Then she suddenly burst into laughter.

"But, well, do you know?"

The smiling red lips are so beautiful... Was it cruel?

"I might forgive you if you die for me."

He closed his eyes. It popped up again.

"Close your eyes."

She told him.

"Don't look."

At that moment, a black force stabbed him in the stomach...

It pierced his skin, cracked his bones, and came out through his back. He was pierced alive in the stomach. It was truly an incredible pain.

But he didn't avoid it. He just withstood the force that pierced his body one after another.

Thighs, calves, stomach, chest, shoulders, and neck. He felt like his whole body was in tatters from being stabbed and stabbed. He fell like a bug.

She looks down at him with callous and heartless eyes.

What he felt in that moment was deep relief.

Done.

This is it.

***

"Hurry!"

The doctors rushed over.

"Hurry to the matriarch's bedroom."

The Duke of Addis' room. On the bed, a man with red hair was having a seizure.

“Heo-eok, heo-eok, heo-eok.”

He took a deep breath. All his muscles were stiff and his limbs were twisted at strange angles.

"Hurry up and take the medicine!"

Deputies pressed down on his body and quickly poured sedatives into his mouth.

How long has it been like that?

The man's body finally sinks. Slowly, like the sea calming down after a turbulent wave. He became so calm. The doctors finally stood up in relief.

"Is everyone okay?"

"Are any doctors injured?"

They were glad it ended like this. They've had a few broken bones before they got used to this.

Now that they have experienced this many times, everyone has learned how to administer medication effectively and quickly.

Orsini Addis. The seizure of the new Duke of Addis.

***

The seizure began in the Kingdom of Yalden.

The day before he got married. He lay in bed and thought about the wedding ceremony that would take place tomorrow morning. The brat made him to be the husband of the Princess.

He felt like he was slowly being submerged in black water.

But it wasn't just a feeling.

"Huh."

His throat felt tight as if someone was strangling me. His muscles twitched. His heart was pounding like it was going to explode. He writhed and struggled.

The terrible convulsions continued for a while and only disappeared when his entire body became exhausted.

He touched his face with a trembling hand.

No. That can't be possible.

Just because of that little thing. It can't be like this because he's getting married or something like that.

But after that day or more precisely, after being rejected by Kanna - the seizures got worse.

He can't sleep. No way, he can't sleep.

Eventually, he called a doctor and complained about his symptoms. It was not mentioned that the other person was Addis' eldest daughter. One woman said his seizures started the day before his wedding.

"It is most likely a symptom of heart fever."

"Passion?"

"Yes. It's a disease that occurs when fire builds up in the heart, so in the case of the Little Duke, the cause is, I wonder......."

The doctor hesitated as if he was frightened.

"It seems close to lovesickness..."

Lovesick?

He's suffering from lovesickness because of that woman?

Orsini wanted to grab the doctor by the collar and throw him away.

But that was just his habitual attitude. In reality, strangely enough, there was no anger. 

"Get out."

Orsini, a lonely man, was lost in thought for a while. After thinking for a while, he opened the drawer.

He picked up the small medicine bottle placed inside it.

He looked at the vial, opened the cap, and took a gulp. Then he buried his face in his hands.

How long has it been? 

He opened his eyes again and raised his head.

"..."

She was leaning against the door.

She's smiling sarcastically as if it's ugly. Orsini glared at her quietly.

He clasped his hands together and placed them on the desk. Then he didn't move. It stopped at that moment.

Suddenly, it occurred to him that it might have been better.

That girl is going to love this skit. He's sure Orsini Addis would love this ending, where he's reduced to a worldly idiot who forgets one woman and relies on hallucinogenic drugs.

She was an unforgiving woman. He didn't even dare ask for forgiveness.

What she wanted from him was not atonement or reflection. It was just pain.

A sharp pain, a pain that feels like your skin is being cut off every minute.

That was the only thing she wanted... He has no choice but to give it up.

That's all he can give.

Orsini twisted his lips and smiled.

"Laugh as much as you want. It was done as you wished."

She scoffed. That was nice to see.

It looked so good. He couldn't take his eyes off It.

For a very long time.

***

Alessandro Addis' absence continued.

Then one day, a letter arrived in Alevonden's handwriting.

 (Inherit the title.)

He suggested it to Kalen, but Kalen rejected it.

"Isn't my brother the current head of the household? Please don't pass the buck on to me."

He wanted to grab Kallen by the collar and scream that this was what he was supposed to do.

However, that too was his own reaction that remained in his mind. In reality, there was no disturbance. It was nothing.

Orsini inherited the throne like that.

"Your Excellency the Duke, a wedding invitation has arrived. The marriage partner......."

"...." 

The butler raised his head as if surprised. Orsini answered.

"Accept it."

At some point, his world was divided into two. That woman, the things that are not that woman. That's why he didn't care who the opponent was.

Whether it was a beggar on the street or a Princess in the imperial palace, it was the same to him.

***

"I can give you nothing more than the title of Duchess."

"Proposal? Is it your duty as the head of the household?"

Orsini nodded. Lilienne laughed at his opponent's rudeness. But she wasn't offended. On the contrary, her eyes lit up.

"Okay, I'll be honest too. The reason I chose you is simple. Because you are the Duke of Addis."

Lilienne pointed at him.

"You have a great appearance, so you will stand out wherever you go, and since you have the bloodline of being a descendant of a paladin, your power will be eternal."

Lilienne smiled as if she were looking at a top-class accessory.

"I find power play more interesting than love play."

The person in front of her was able to give it to her.

"Fortunately, what we both want coincides. How is it? Don't you think we can get along well?"

***

Orsini Addis was married.

But that first night, he didn't even touch her fingers. He didn't want to.

"I am your wife now. But you're trying to avoid your duties at night?"

"Uh."

Lilienne seemed to have her pride hurt, but she backed down obediently.

"Okay. I'll wait for a while. But remember. We have to create a successor. That's why you married me, right?"

"I know."

"But let me be clear about this. Are you sure you're not expecting me to wait for you to turn around and cut me off?"

"Not at all."

"I will have a government. Young people who are younger and more beautiful than you."

"Do as you wish."

Lilienne raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.

"Now I understand. You have a woman you love, right? Do you think she doesn't even look down on you?"

Lilienne laughed to his face.

"You're pitiful. The Orsini of the world is in unrequited love. Who is the other person?"

Orsini did not answer.

So the Duke and Duchess lived in separate rooms from the first night.

Orsini returned to his room and lay down alone on the bed. He looked up at the ceiling and thought. Is this a dream? Or is it reality?

Maybe he died at that time.

The time when he was deceived by the Black Apostle and gave up his life to protect something that was not Kanna. The real person was already dead and gone by then, and this may be an afterimage left behind by life. If not, why is it like this?

Does it look fake? Life didn't feel like life. It felt like a silly play being watched from above. It felt like she had taken everything that was real back when it was real.

No, no. There's just one thing left behind.

Orsini stared at his right arm. She lost her arm when she obediently took the poison she gave her.

It miraculously came back, but was it an aftereffect? He sometimes suffered from excruciating pain that felt as if his arm was being torn off.

Like this very moment.

But he didn't tell anyone. Because he had no intention of treating it from the beginning.

Instead of reaching for a painkiller, Orsini reached out and grabbed a hallucinogen from the nightstand. He deftly opened his cap and let it flow into his mouth.

He closed his eyes and opened them.

The woman was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at him.

Orsini lay down and looked up at her. Cold sweat broke out in pain as if his arm was being cut off, but he did not let out a single groan.

Instead, he brought his arm up to his lips.

He looked at her piercingly and she kissed his broken arm.

He loved this pain.

***

Since creating his hallucinations, his seizures have decreased.

But it did not completely disappear. However, the darkness hid the imperfections.

Orsini Addis in broad daylight was perfect. No matter where people looked, they couldn't find any flaws.

He used to be like a bully, but he has finally grown up and people are starting to say that he is a perfect craftsman.

He knew he was dying well. He planned to die like that in the future.

On the outside, he appears to be a sane Duke, but in reality, he becomes a sick drug addict, struggling in the pain of immortality.

As she wished, he was going to suffer and die for the rest of his life.

"Well, Your Excellency the Duke, she has come to visit."

"Who?"

"Well, the Lady Kanna of Addis......."

The fountain pen that was scribbling the signature stopped.

In the silence, Orsini looked down at the documents.

"I will never find you again."

"So, don't you ever appear in front of me again? At that time you..."

It was only for a moment. Orsini answered quietly as he signed the document.

"Let her in."

He handed over the documents.

Past memories overlap again. Even the sincerity that he couldn't fully express.

"I won't let you go then."

You shouldn't have come, Kanna.
