SPMB - Chapter 231
My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone
"Why are you afraid of me and avoiding me?"
"There is no such thing."
"Lie."
"get out."
"No, I do not want."
"Do you want to be forcibly dragged out by my hand?"
"Don't you remember? It was you who dragged me here."
The moment she said that heat slowly gathered in Alessandro's eyes.
"What do you want to do with me now?"
"Well. Deep conversation?"
“Kanna Addis.”
Kanna kept her mouth shut. His voice was menacingly low. She saw a blue glow in his eyes.
"Don't meddle in my business."
For a moment, her toes felt numb. It was a physiological reaction.
The intimidating feeling coming from him was not something she could bear. Goosebumps broke out over her skin and her legs started shaking.
Still. It wasn't scary.
No one in this world would not be afraid of the current Alessandro.
Kanna wasn't afraid at all.
"No, this isn't just you. You ended up like this while trying to protect me."
He cut it sharply.
"I made a promise, so I just kept it. I kept my faith. So you don't have to worry."
"Keep your faith?"
It's not even funny. Kanna shook the medicine bottle in her hand.
"Even taking poison?"
She knows. It's a cocky attitude. But this was a problem that could never be backed away from.
"Quit taking this medicine."
"..."
The condition continues to get worse. He's been taking these medications for decades, so it's natural...
Kanna's words became blurred. Alessandro's complexion was getting worse.
He held out his hand.
"Give it to me"
"....I beg your pardon?"
"Hand over the medicine."
Cold sweat formed on his forehead. He urged.
"Hurry."
It was an unusual momentum.
But Kanna stepped back. She hid the vial behind her back.
When his memories started to become tangled, Alessandro said that he would take medicine to force his consciousness out. Only then will there be no confusion.
"Do you think your memories will get tangled up now?"
His breathing became rough. Alessandro came closer to the distance she had retreated.
"Move."
Alessandro tried to approach the nightstand next to the bed. However, Kanna quickly blocked it.
“Move over, Kanna.”
The corners of his eyes turned red. Is he getting a headache?
The veins on his forehead stood out. Kanna has made up her mind.
He won't watch him fall apart any longer.
"Sorry. I can't get out of the way."
“Kanna.”
"It is better for memories to be temporarily tangled. If you take this medicine, your condition will get worse."
He clenched his fists. The thick tendons twitched.
"I said get out of the way."
"No."
All he had to do was just push her. She was an opponent who could be subdued with just one finger.
But he couldn't do anything.
Alessandro cannot force her. He can't pull her off. He can't even touch her body.
If he touches her, it feels like his hand will be cut, no, it will break.
Kanna laughed at that fact. She actually wanted to cry.
"I will stay by your side."
She spread her hands. The vial fell. With a clang, the glass bottle shattered sharply.
"Don't worry, I will be by your side to prevent you from doing anything foolish until you come back to your senses."
The next moment, he couldn't stand it anymore and collapsed. He braced his body against the wall and gasped for breath.
"You will regret it."
Kanna knelt down in front of him. Like the loser he was, he lowered his head and breathing heavily. She placed a hand on his shoulder. She soothed gently.
"I don't regret it, nothing."
"You don't know anything, you..."
That was the end.
He lifted his head, groaning in pain.
Their eyes met.
"Divine spirit?"
"..."
"Who are you?"
"..."
"Where am I?"
At that moment, a low feeling of joy went up Kanna's spine. Alex.
It's Alex.
***
"Maybe it's a side effect of taking the medicine for a long time, but sometimes your memories get mixed up."
There are times when you lose your recent memories and go back to your younger days. It was a time when your relationship with your mother was amicable."
It was just as Claude said. Alessandro's memories were frozen in the past.
The moment she left the letter.
"So, did you just leave that letter behind?"
After hearing all the explanations, he could not easily believe this. He could not erase his suspicions even after looking at newspapers with recent dates.
However, when Kanna recited the letter correctly, written in Korean.l, he seemed to believe it..
"You sang that song asking for protection. You left behind the body you had to protect and your soul went to the future?"
Kanna couldn't help it. She had just seen Raphael wait until he became an old man, so she couldn't waste any more time.
'It was already too late even then. Because Raphael has turned white.'
However, this situation could not be explained. Even so, it would be nothing more than an excuse for him.
As expected, Alessandro seemed very angry about that fact.
The story of living for decades waiting for her. The story goes that he was cursed.
And as he talked about raising her as his daughter, there was even a hint of death in his eyes.
"You are ridiculously selfish. Well, I knew it from the time you poisoned me and threatened to get me out of jail."
"Sorry."
"Sorry?"
He let out a low laugh.
He couldn't believe it. Isn't it like giving up his entire life?
'No, that's okay.'
The moment I decided to protect her anyway, I had a feeling that life would become difficult.
But raising her as a daughter?
'Crazy guy.'
He scoffed, cursing his future self.
In what kind of mental state did he take her as his daughter?
'Well, I guess it was inevitable to protect her from the spirits and the black apostles. Making her a member of Addis would have been the best way.'
So, his future self gave up his feelings to protect that woman completely. He chose to live only as a guardian for the rest of his life.
It must have been a difficult decision.
But that hasn't happened to him now.
Is that why?
That decision didn't really make sense to him.
"Did you say Kanna?"
Seon-hee's real name. Seon-hee's real appearance.
Of course, Seon-hee was a very beautiful woman. But to be honest, Seon-hee's appearance wasn't his taste.
'Rather, this one....'
He rested his chin on his fist and stared at her. From head to toe, there is nothing about her that he doesn't like. Even the shape of her fingernails was his preference.
'I raised a woman like this as my daughter?'
He knew that he was deeply fascinated by Seon-hee. Even though the looks were not to his taste, he was intensely attracted to her.
The moment he secretly slipped his finger between the cracks of her unconscious hand, he felt so dizzy that his whole body trembled. It was so good that it sent shivers down to his toes.
At that time, Alessandro was clearly aware of this.
He wants this woman.
He wants her so much that his heart aches.
So, he was drawn to her even though the looks weren't something he particularly liked, but now....
"I'm sorry, Alex."
Even the voice.
Alessandro swallowed back the curse that was about to come out. It's a very sweet voice. This was true both subjectively and objectively. The kind of sensuality that makes men go wild was overflowing.
Alessandro swallowed his saliva without realizing it. His Adam apple's shook greatly.
He turned his head because his eyes seemed to be watching his prey. He mumbled, rubbing his eyes.
"I'm going crazy."
"It's okay. "I will take care of you until you come to your senses again."
Alessandro frowned. No, she didn't say it was going to drive him crazy.
'It looks like you have no idea about my condition.'
It's worth it. Even when he was with Seon-hee, he never showed his emotions. He denied it the whole time, and only after secretly holding her hand did he fully realize it. He didn't even have time to reveal himself.
Moreover, it is said that his future self avoided her.
'I guess I get it roughly.'
He sympathized with the primal guilt and confusion his future self must have experienced.
But that's it.
'I don't know.'
Now, he has no recollection of raising that woman as his daughter. His lips quirked up.
"Wow, your face is full of dark thoughts?"
"You will definitely regret it. When you come back to your senses, I will hit the ground in tears. You'll want to die."
"Ahahaha. I'm already looking forward to it!"
Before that, Alessandro glanced at the demons hovering around him.
"You will go to hell. Alessandro. You're finally corrupting. No one will forgive you. You become a sinner!"
Did they say it was a curse from an evil spirit?
The words they uttered like curses strangely touched his conscience.
As if reminding him of a line not to be crossed.
"Did you say I couldn't break the evil spirit's curse?"
"Huh."
He thinks he understands. Alessandro laughed.
'My future self acted like an idiot. It's so pathetic that it's not like me.'
The evil spirit's curse would have been like a warning sound. It must have alerted him so that he would never reach out to her.
However.
"Release me, my curse."
It was just annoying to him now.
He doesn't know what his future self will be like, but right now he has no hobby of practicing martial arts.
"It's noisy. It's very annoying to hear people talking next to me."
Was his future self scared that he might cross the line?
'You coward.'
He was young and full of hot blood. He is at an age where he cannot and does not want to ignore the interests in front of him.
It was the spring of his twenties.
It was his first love.
I understand how Alessandro feels, so I think what people say in the spoiler that this series labeled as 'incest ' between the father and his adopted daughter, it's not true.
I don’t feel it like incest, it is not her father and he didn’t ever raise her correctly. Through the story you can see that Kanna was even afraid to talk to him.
ReplyDeleteIdk, but I like the plot, y feel really bad por Alessandro, he was just in love
same ... I love the story and development. Sure some people might find it unproperate to have sex with people you grew up with. But it doesn't justify the Shitstorm this novel experience. Out of all Loveinterest this constellation makes most sense for me. But tbh looking at the flow of the story I expect some tragic ending and no happy-ever-after.
ReplyDeleteI'd write a 500 page thesis on what I think of this predicament, but at this point I have turned off my brain and just enjoying the ride. Thank you for the chapter. I can't wait to see how the novel ends :)
ReplyDeleteI’d rather read a plot like this where true emotions are felt. The author probably got enough backlash with how the story went but I loved every chapter.
