SPMB - Chapter 224
My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone
"It's uncomfortable, isn't it?"
Kalen whispered as he straightened Kanna's messy hair.
"Shall we go somewhere comfortable?"
***
Orsini walked quickly. The whole time he was going he thought it couldn't be possible.
"Your sister was kissing your brother."
Lie.
It must have been a harsh remark meant to mock his unrequited love.
Kanna can't do that.
How much she hates Kalen.
She hates Kalen and Addis to death but for a guy like that....
"..."
Orsini's steps suddenly stopped.
In the empty hallway, he saw a man with pure white hair in the distance.
This is Kalen.
Kalen was sharing a passionate kiss with a woman.
Orsini watched the scene with an expressionless face.
Kalen's hand was gently pressing the woman's lower back. The hand slowly moved up and into her long hair. Into that silky black hair.
Then he hugged the woman and went down the stairs.
"..."
After a moment Orsini turned around. He walked back the way he came.
How far did he walk like that?
Orsini stopped again. His fingertips were trembling slightly.
The cramps spread quickly. Suddenly, his forearm was twisted. He gritted his teeth and grabbed his twitching arm.
In an instant, a cold sweat formed on his forehead.
The seizure was starting.
***
"If it were my sister, she would try it to Kanna first."
Joo-hwa recalled what Argon had said.
His suspicious sister, Lilienne, will try the experiment on someone other than his husband first.
He predicted that she would use it on Kanna Addis so that she could enjoy the effect of killing two birds with one stone.
"Just wait and see. You will see the Addis family split into pieces because of one woman."
"Has Lilienne already used that medicine on Kanna?"
Kanna and Kalen's seat. The curtain that came down at the beginning of the performance has not been opened until now. It was obvious what was going on in there by now.
'Beasts. What are you doing in a place like this?"
Joo-hwa glanced to the side. A silver-haired man was sitting there.
Her heart is pounding. Her heart is racing.
That beautiful figure was like an arrogant God watching the stage. He was elegant and noble, like an absolute being overlooking the earth. If she uses that medicine, will this person change like that? Like Kanna beyond the curtain?
Like an animal that doesn't distinguish between time and place and doesn't distinguish between front and back?
Joo-hwa's cheeks turned red. It was impossible to imagine Sylvienne Valentino being distracted by desire.
So she wanted to see it.
'But the medicine isn't perfect yet.'
Although it is very rare, side effects occur about once in ten. Because it was a fairly serious side effect, it could not be used on Sylvien until that part was improved.
'So I have no choice but to be satisfied with this for now."
Joo-hwa watched the performance with Sylvien with excitement. She was so busy stealing glances at Sylvien's face that she didn't even get to see the performance.
"Excuse me."
How long has it been like that?
An employee came next to Sylvien and handed out a note.
"A Lady asked me to give this to His Excellency Duke Valentino."
At that moment, a sweet scent passed by.
'This scent...'
A perfume named after Kanna. It was the most popular perfume in the empire.
'Spray perfume on the note?:
Because the intention was obvious, Joo-hwa became displeased. Who sent it?
Before even peeking at the note, Sylvien stood up.
"I will leave for a moment."
"Yes? Ha, but Your Excellency....."
"Sorry."
Sylvien quickly escaped. Joo-hwa watched the back in confusion.
'Did you just receive a note from a woman and leave?'
There's a woman who can call him?
Could it be that Kanna sent it?
'No. That can't be possible.'
Kanna must be drunk on the potion by now. So the curtains...
"..."
The curtain is open.
And there was no one there.
'When did she disappear?'
Joo-hwa had the urge to chase after Sylvien right away, but she held back. She waited. She was patient.
But he didn't come back. In the end, Joo-hwa couldn't hold back any longer and jumped up from her seat.
As she hurriedly opened the door and went out, she ran into an employee. It was the employee who delivered the note.
"Who gave you that card?"
"Yes?"
"This is the card you gave to His Excellency Duke Valentino. What did she look like?"
Then the employee answered with a blank face.
"He had black hair and black eyes."
As expected. It was Kanna!
"Where has His Excellency gone?
"He went with that woman."
"Where? Where did they go?"
"They asked me to guide them to a place where the two can be alone. So, to the lounge at the end of the basement hallway....."
She didn't even listen to everything he said. Joo-hwa threw away the staff and quickly turned around.
'Stairs, where are the stairs?'
Fortunately, it was noticed right away. There were several stairs leading down to the basement, so there was no need to look for them.
Perhaps, Kanna has taken the elixir now. Originally, she was only supposed to fall in love with the first person she met after taking it.
However, when side effects occur, she ends up falling in love with everyone she meets.
'What if there are side effects to Kanna?'
What if she falls in love with Sylvienne, clings to him, and seduces him?
'No, that's fine. Nothing works with him.'
No matter how much she tempted him with Kanna's body, he didn't even pay attention. Even when she ran into him naked, he didn't even raise an eyebrow. So there's no way he's leaving now. He can't get over it...
Jump up!
Finally arriving at the door, Joo-hwa opened the door roughly.
"What?"
Kanna was lying on the sofa. With her breasts half exposed.
"What are you?"
Kanna frowned and pulled up her clothes.
Joo-hwa stared at her. Tangled black hair. The lipstick was half removed. Crumpled dress. Shoes fell under the sofa.
"Have you come to visit His Excellency the Duke?"
Kanna smiled as she straightened her disheveled hair.
"She left a little while ago, but he didn't see you?"
"..."
"It looks like he used a different set of stairs than you. I guess you got mixed up."
"..."
"That guy was amazing. You said it was worth the face?"
Then she laughs.
"Well, now you know better. Or do you still not know?"
At that moment, his head froze completely. There was no sound. Joo-hwa couldn't think at all. She just followed her instincts.
She stretched out her hand. She stammered. Caught, something. Something hard and smooth. She picked it up. She approached.
"W-what are you doing?"
'I can't forgive you.'
"Put that down! Now!"
'I can't forgive you.'
“Aaaah!”
Clink!
Heo-eok. heo-eok.
Joo-hwa gasped for air. Her whole body was shaking. She looked at the fallen Kanna, then looked down at her.
"...... Ah."
The ceramic vase was shattered.
Joo-hwa, who only then realized what she had done, was startled and dropped a piece of glass.
'I-I want Kanna.....'
Did she kill her?
Joo-hwa quickly closed the door. Her breath came out in gasps.
Of course, she wanted to kill her. Because it's cheap even if she dies.
But not so suddenly and without any plan!
'Uh, what should I do?'
Joo-hwa fell down and covered her face with both hands.
'Oh my God.'
If she gets caught, if Sylvien finds out.
'No. No.'
Maybe it's a good thing. Because Kanna's blood is very useful. So, if she takes this child to the Black Apostles' hideout and laboratory.
'Yes, that works!'
As she thought about that, hope burned in her anxious heart. Joo-hwa carefully lifted the shard of glass and pricked her finger.
"Ugh, it hurts....."
She sniffled and drew a drinking line. It was a drinking technique that sent a message to one's guardian.
< At the end of the underground hallway, in the lounge, Kanna is passed out. Maybe she died. >
< It would be best to take her to the lab. Please send apostles to help. As soon as possible. >
***
"Are you okay?"
As Orsini was leaning against the wall, enduring a seizure, a staff member approached.
"Shall I call the doctor?"
Doctor? A self-deprecating laugh burst from Orsini's lips.
No use. This damn fever was not something anyone could cure.
Fortunately, the seizure gradually subsided. After calming his breathing, he asked the employee.
"Do you know where the Duke of Addis daughter has gone?"
"Yes?"
"The black-haired woman."
As If those words were a signal, the employee responded with unfocused eyes.
"They asked me to guide them to a place where the two can be alone. So, I guided them to the lounge at the end of the basement hallway..."
Haaa.
Laughter burst out from Orsini's lips.
He passed the employee and quickly walked down the nearby stairs.
He knows. That woman, didn't she have a funny way of knowing men from the beginning?
She was a woman who arbitrarily ignored and used, discarded and then picked up, and used it like a tool according to her own needs.
So maybe Kalen is being used this time too.
But why Kalen? She guesses Kalen was more useful than him now?
With each step he took, Orsini's eyes burned red. It was half jealousy and half anger.
It doesn't matter if he becomes a saboteur. The only thing on his mind right now was the urge to crush Kalen's chin.
Suddenly, the door opened.
"..."
But there was no one there.
This was something he half expected from the moment he approached the door. Have they already gone somewhere else? Or not...
'The smell of blood.'
The scent of blood scattered in the air. This was the smell of blood that had just been spilled.
He looked around. Everything in the room was clean and neat.
There are no traces of anyone, let alone bloodstains, anywhere.
At that time, a single strand of hair caught his eye. It was black hair. He picked up the hair and examined it.
'This is not Kanna's hair.'
He's only touched Kanna's hair once.
When she poisoned him to kill him.
He remembered everything about that moment so vividly that it was scary.
The moment Kanna kissed his lip, his hands burrowed into her hair. The feeling of it being as fine and smooth as silk was clear. But now, this black hair had faint curls.
'Then whose is it?'
Suddenly, what Kanna said came to mind. Sylvien Valentino's fiancée. Joo-hwa. Kanna says she is a black apostle. The woman also had black hair.
'No way...'
