SPMB - Chapter 257

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

It was when Orsini was about to leave the mansion holding Kanna. He pulled on the reins and stopped.

"What?"

In front of the mansion, the Imperial Knights were encamped.

"Your Excellency the Duke of Addis, please go back inside."

"What?"

"His Majesty has ordered you to stay at the mansion."

"Are you confining me?"

"This is a strict order from His Majesty."

"The capital is in such disrepair. Are you telling me to stay still?"

The knight's face darkened at those words. But it's only for a moment

"This is His Majesty's order. Please follow."

Ha! Orsini burst into wild laughter.

It was said that the Emperor was intoxicated by the medicine provided by the Black Apostle, and what Kanna said was true.

'That bastard is the Emperor?'

Fire flashed in Orsini's eyes. As he grabbed the handle of the sword, the imperial knights tensed up.

"Get out of the way. If you don't get out of the way...."

He'll cut them.

Orsini knew.

As soon as he finishes saying these words, it is treason.

But he had no intention of stopping.

It was then.

"Duke of Addis."

Orsini turned his head. Sylvienne Valentino was approaching.

"You're impatient."

Sylvien smiled quietly and winked at Orsini. The look in his eyes was telling him not to do that.

Sylvien ordered Valentino's knights to subdue the monsters and headed to Addis. He intended to collaborate as always.

However, as soon as he arrived, he saw Orsini trying to draw his sword at the Emperor's knights.

'Anyway, there is no such thing as a burning colt.'

Sylvien clicked his tongue inwardly. First, he has to resolve it through conversation.

He opened his mouth thinking that. But...

"..."

Nothing came out of his mouth. His gaze was fixed on Kanna. To the woman covered in blood in Orsini's arms.

"Your Excellency Duke Valentino, what are you talking about?"

"Alright."

Sylvienne opened his lips again without taking his eyes off Kanna. And he smiled softly. 

"I brought Your Majesty's orders."

"Yes?"

"From now on, the Imperial Knights will be led by Valentino to subdue the demons in the capital." 

"... Is that true?"

"Do you really think I would make up a royal name?"

They know that's treason. That was indeed the case. Therefore, the Emperor's knight was immediately convinced.

No, in fact, they wanted to believe it even if it was a lie.

At a time when the capital was turning into chaos, the Emperor's order to imprison Addis was difficult to understand.

"You're lying, right?"

Orsini came closer and muttered to Sylvienne. Syivien laughed without answering. And he said.

"Can you save her?"

He didn't ask about this or that. It was clear that Orsini was going somewhere to save Kanna.

"Yes."

"Great. Leave this to me and go. And save her."

"I owe you something."

With those words, Orsini struck the horse's reins.

Sylvien smiled as he watched the back moving away. He was right. Addis is indebted to Valentino.

'What is it? I'm in trouble.'

Valentino instead became a traitor.

***

Kanna blinked her eyes helplessly.

Consciousness was dim. The power of the magic stone is almost completely worn out.

On a horse galloping through the forest, Kanna leaned into Orsini's arms and looked up at the sky.

Fortunately, the black gap did not get any bigger. But it didn't get any smaller.

She can get there with her own strength.

"Why do you have to do this?"

Orsini said in a hard voice.

"Aren't you the kind of person who only knows yourself? Why are you making sacrifices that don't suit you?"

"..."

"Don't do that, stop it right now."

His gaze fell on Kanna. Unfortunately, at that exact moment, she ended up vomiting blood again. Kanna thought as she watched Orsini's face turn into fear.

"That's right. I just have to live with myself."

How come she ends up dying and working to save others?

What's even funnier is that this situation isn't all that surprising.

At one point, she thought she wanted to make a living doing something like that...

Kanna closed her eyes.

"Kanna, open your eyes!" 

It's impossible. Her eyelids are so heavy.

"Don't die, damn it. Just try to die!"

Orsini's cries also fade away. The movement of a running horse. The pain felt like it was tearing her body apart.

Everyone has moved away.

"Kanna!"

It was then.

Hee hee!

The horse neighed and lifted itself up. In a sudden flash of light, Orsini lost his grip on the reins.

Normally he would have held on and held on, but there was Kanna in his arms. Orsini hugged Kanna tightly.

It was the moment he landed on the ground.

Kwakwakwak!

The ground exploded violently. Something very large had pierced the ground and soared.

Without even realizing what it was, Orsini raised his sword and cut down the rushing figure.

"What's this?"

Something black and long. Like the roots of a plant...

'Is it the root of the world tree?'

Then, roots sprouted from the ground again. Orsini cut down dozens of roots at once.

None of this was a problem, the problem is...

"Hey! You little horse, why don't you come here?"

Orsini cursed as he watched the horse run away with its tail lost.

"Damn."

As if pushing him deeper into despair, monsters began to pop out. He swung his sword in a fit of impatience. Time is running out. He has to hurry and take Kanna to the place where the World Tree is!

It was then. The figure approached quickly, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves.

"Are you okay?"

For a moment, Orsini almost breathed a sigh of relief.

"Raphael."

A gloomy guy who follows Kanna around. But at moments like this, he couldn't be happier.

"Get off. Let's borrow a word."

"No. Please give me Kanna."

"I told you to get off."

"Kanna is dying."

Orsini gritted his teeth at those words.

"I know better about Kanna's condition. If she doesn't reach the World Tree right now, she'll die."

He knows. Who doesn't know that?

"You take care of the monster. I will take Kanna to the place where the World Tree is."

Orsini felt an instinctive repulsion.

"Harry. Do you want Kanna to die because of your jealousy?"

Famn. Orsini eventually handed Kanna to Raphael.

Raphael stretches out his arms and traps her in his arms. He struck the reins without hesitation. He moves away quickly.

Orsini played his part with a strange twist. He caught the monsters and roots that were chasing him, crushing them, and cutting them off. He slaughtered.

'Yes, this is correct.'

If he deals with each obstacle one by one, he will be late. Kanna will die. It is correct to divide roles. But why is it so ominous?

“Kyaaaah!”

At that moment, a scream was heard.

Kanna. It's Kanna's scream.

“Save me, Orsini!”

Orsini's eyes rolled over. He rushed like an animal, destroying everything he ran into.

'Kanna!'

And finally, he found her.

Kanna lying on the ground.

“Kanna!”

At one point he took a step while running.

"...!"

Kwakwakwak!

The ground exploded. A loud roar tore through his ears.

Orsini groaned. He lost consciousness very briefly, a few seconds. He lifted his face from the ground.

In an instant, an intense pain struck him.

"Damn it."

He frowned. A thick tree branch had pierced his shoulder. But Orsini stood up.

“Kanna.”

Then he walked towards her. Orsini sat down in front of Kanna and checked her wrists. No use. The bracelet that identified the doll as if it had been blown away by the explosion was nowhere to be seen.

At that moment, the words she said before passed by.

"From next time, even if you think I'm in danger, stay still. Because that might not be me."

But it could be her.

He doesn't know how to ignore that possibility.

"What about Raphael?"

"Raphael tried to kill me."

After saying that, Kanna came into his arms.

"I was scared, Orsini."

A sweet scent began to spread, mixing with the scent of Kanna's blood.

"Protect me. I can't trust anyone else."

Orsini hugged Kanna as she came into his arms. She whispered.

"I love you, Orsini."

Words he never thought he would hear in this life.

"..."

Orsini buried his face in her shoulder without answering. The sweet scent now overpowered the scent of her blood.

As he was immersed in that cozy scent, he suddenly felt like laughing. No, actually, he felt like crying.

"I love you, Orsini. It wasn't until moments like this that I realized."

Because that word is so beautiful.

"After all, you are the only one by my side."

That sentence is so fascinating.

He feels like an asshole who would rather pretend not to know and get drunk.

"Keep by my side....."

At that moment, Kanna's words stopped. Red lips parted. Orsini muttered.

"Me too."

He hugged her tighter and ran his hands through her back. He clutched her heart.

"I love you too."

And it exploded.

"...!"

He met Kanna's shocked eyes.

But it was only a moment.

She returned to her original form. She collapsed into the sand, patter, patter.

That temperature, that weight, that scent that disappears in an instant. How regrettable that loss is...

Orsini swallowed a bitter smile and stood up. Thanks to the words "I love you," he realized that it was a doll.

Because there is no way Kanna could love him.

Orsini stumbled and leaned against a wooden beam. That particularly strong sweet scent was probably poisonous. Perhaps because of that, his vision became dizzy.

'No, it's okay. It'll be okay soon.'

So, he has to hurry up and chase after Kanna...

"Orsini."

He stopped. He turned around.

"Stop hitting me, Orsini." 

A black-haired girl was hiding behind a tree and trembling. 

"It's my fault, huh?"

At that time, something passed by next to him. 

He was a boy with red hair. He quickly lunges at the girl and kicks her straight away.

"Oh, it hurts! Don't hit me!"

"Scum like you must die!" 

Orsini's fingertips trembled. He stopped breathing with a feeling of suffocation.

That was a moment in the past.

Young Orsini was beating young Kanna.

***

'How can you not be fooled?'

Orsini, he thought he was going to get tricked and die again.

Argon, who was watching from afar, tilted his head. Was there something wrong with the doll's lines?

'Yes, because he was poisoned.'

A poisonous scent that deteriorates the body's functions and pollutes the mind. Since it is squirting out from the doll's entire body, addiction will slowly occur.

Now Orsini will face the deepest darkness in his heart. Then, soon, he will become anxious and his mind will be destroyed.

'I'll definitely have to kill him then.'

Argon put on his butterfly mask and stood up.
