SPMB - Chapter 228

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

"Your daughter tried to kill me!"

Joo-hwa let out a cry.

"It wasn't enough that she took my life and my family, she tried to take my life too!"

Joo-hwa really almost died. She would have been pinned to death if Arzenian had not saved her.

"Calm down, Joo-hwa."

"Calm? Can you calm down?"

Joo-hwa's eyes brightened.

"You hid weapons in Addis. Use that weapon. Kill Kanna with that weapon!"

An expression of confusion appeared on the face of the Arzenian, who looked just like Kanna.

"I only have one chance to use my weapon. I can't use it like this."

"That chance is now..."

"Calm down. Your voice gets hoarse when you scream like that. Duke Valentino will hate it if your voice is hoarse."

At those words, the struggling stopped. Arzenian gently comforted her.

"Anyway, how about you go see Duke Valentino? I sent a messenger to say that you are safe, but it would still be better to show your face in person."

"That..... Is it so. That's right."

Joo-hwa wiped her tear-soaked face. After she hurriedly freshened up her body, she visited the Valentino's mansion. It was late in the morning, but she didn't mind.

She is Sylvien's fiancee. She had that right.

Moreover, she had to check whether he had really met Kanna and whether he had dragged Kanna into bed.

"His Excellency the Duke is sleeping now..."

The butler's words filled her with ominous thoughts. Isn't it possible that Kanna is there?

"Get out of the way!"

Joo-hwa ignored the butler's dissuasion and headed to Sylvien's bedroom. She knocked.

"Sylvienne. It's me."

There was no time to wait for an answer. Joo-hwa couldn't bear the nervousness that was burning her toes, so she opened the door and went inside.

Sylvien was sitting on the sofa wearing a black silk nightgown. He slowly turned his head and cast a languid glance at the uninvited guest. The eyes she met in the darkness were like blue stars in the night sky.

"Well, sorry for being late at night."

"It's okay." 

He got up and approached her.

"What happened?"

Joo-hwa's heart melted at the same question. Tears welled up.

"It's okay, just tell me."

Joo-hwa hesitated before confessing honestly.

"Kanna tried to kill me."

"This..."

"The note Kanna sent to Sylvien was a trap. This was done to mock me. Kanna created a bomb doll using ancient alchemy.... "

Joo-hwa told gibberish everything that happened that day.

Kanna deceived her and mocked her, and in the process of fighting with each other, Kanna fainted. When she took Kanna for treatment, she said, Kanna's body exploded like a bomb.

Adapted a little bit.

'I'm not lying. Anyway, the result is the same.'

It hasn't been long since Joo-hwa revealed her secrets to Sylvien one by one.

Arzenian said she should never, ever say anything to anyone.

'I'm not talking about anything else, I'm just talking about the bad things Kanna did.'

What Kanna took her life from. Making her live her unhappy life instead. And doing bad things with alchemy.

Because she's only talking about those things.

After hearing that story, Sylvien began to pay attention to Joo-hwa. He sympathized and comforted. Talk of engagement began to circulate.

Of course, this was a secret to Arzenian.

"Kanna killed my friends. She took away my life and my family..."

Joo-hwa sniffed and muttered.

"She's scary. I think one day everything will be taken away from me."

"Don't think like that. There will definitely be someone who will remain by your side until the end."

Sylvien spoke softly.

"Isn't there someone who saved you from the explosion? If he risks his life to save you, he will never leave your side."

Those words reminded her of Arzenian.

Of course, he saved her...

'But he's Kanna's biological father.'

Moreover, perhaps because Joo-hwa did not actively pursue revenge, she felt uneasy in a corner of her heart. She was about to tell Sylvien about the Arzenian without even realizing it.

‘No, no, no.'

Joo-hwa was startled and closed her mouth tightly.

This doesn't work. She doesn't know anything else, but this is absolutely not possible.

'If I do that, I could get caught.'

Joo-hwa carefully observed Sylvien's thoughts. Surely he didn't bring out his story on purpose?

But it was just a needless worry. There was no trace of scheming on Sylvien's noble face.

'Well, there's no reason for Sylvien to find out about that person.' 

Because he didn't know that she was a Black Apostle from the beginning.

Now he truly cares about her. Unlike before, he is taking his time and listening to her story. When she thought that, her heart trembled.

"Sylvienne, are you really going to marry me?"

At those words, Sylvien smiled as smoothly as silver water.

"If you want."

Joo-hwa was mesmerized. At that moment, she had a vision of a moon halo shining softly behind her. 

"You'd better decide carefully. You know I'm not a good person."

Joo-hwa shook his head.

"But you regretted it later. So you apologized to Kanna and suggested that she reconsider the divorce. Was it a lie?"

"It can't be. Everything I said to Kanna was sincere."

What Sylvien said to Kanna.

It was no different from what he said to her.

The things Sylvien regrets and the things he feels guilty about are all things she has experienced. 

Joo-hwa believed so.

***

Claude changed his attitude after learning that there was a way to break the curse.

"Then I will get permission from Alessandro."

Two days passed while Kanna was waiting for him. And by then Orsini had finally regained consciousness.

"How are you feeling?"

Orsini was sitting on the bed blankly but narrowed his eyes when he saw Kanna.

"Prince Argon died while you were unconscious. To be precise, he played dead."

"..."

"Your wife and Kalen attended the funeral on behalf of the Addis family."

Orsini didn't seem particularly surprised by the news. He seemed completely uninterested.

"Hey."

"Huh?"

"I dream..."

"Dream?"

Orsini washed his face dry. Then he muttered.

“No, no.”

"Why? Do you have any strange memories?"

"What?"

"Did you say you were my dog?"

Kanna laughed quietly. The words the big guy said while hugging her tightly around her waist were vivid. Suddenly, the shoulder he had bitten started throbbing.

"Or you....."

Kanna was thinking about exposing it even more mischievously, but she quit. Perhaps because she was depressed, she didn't have the energy to do so.

"I don't know how much you remember, but make sure you know this one thing."

Kanna sat down next to Orsini.

Then, she vividly felt that his whole body was very tense. Even his hair seemed to stand on end.

However, Kanna spoke without much emotion.

"Now you are mine."

In an instant, Orsini's earlobes turned red.

"Take the documents here. At that time, we secured the identities of the dead Black Apostles. Please find out the contact points of these people."

"Uh..."

He responded stiffly. His fingertips holding the paper were trembling slightly.

'Why did I fall like that?'

Come now.

She said that from now on, he wilI be hers, her dog.

Was that moment when he said that shameful or humiliating?

It didn't matter either way.

"Then I'll go."

The business is over. When Kanna tries to get up and go out.

'What is that?'

Next to the nightstand, an empty medicine bottle caught her eye.

Kanna frowned. It was almost like a hunch. As she approached and grabbed the vial, Orsini stopped her.

"Hey, that's it."

"What?"

He pursed his lips, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.

No way......

Kanna opened the drawer, revealing medicine bottles lined up neatly inside.

"What is this?"

"Nutrients."

Kanna narrowed her eyes.

This guy is not good at lying.

"Nutrients? Then, can I eat it?"

When Kanna opened the cap and tried to drink, he quickly hit the bottle.

Clink! 

The glass bottle flew away. A sharp breaking sound was heard.

"..."

There was a heavy silence.

Kanna sat next to him again.

"How long has it been?"

Orsini muttered, avoiding her gaze.

"Not long ago."

"Are you addicted?"

"Not to that extent."

"Hang up."

"..."

"Hang up, Orsini. Even you...."

She can't do this too. From Alex to Orsini.

'There's no need to look like this.

She didn't know exactly why he started taking this medication. But it was predictable.

Now that she knows his pain and the cause of that pain.

Is it because it reminds her of Alex? 

Kanna reacted very sensitively.

"Take this medicine one more time and I'll never see you again."

For some reason, Orsini's ears were becoming increasingly red. He rubbed his mouth with his hand and nodded his head.

Upon receiving the answer, Kanna sighed. Because he's a guy who keeps his word at least once.

"Then I'll go. You have to rest."

She got up and turned around. As she was about to leave, Orsini grabbed her wrist.

"...?"

Kanna looked back.

Orsini looked at her wrist in his grasp and asked quietly.

"Shall I get divorced?"
