SPMB - Chapter 239

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

One day, a man came to the Great Hall.

"I know very well the curse that fell on Alexandre Addis."

"..."

"So, please arrange for me to meet you, Kanna. The security at Addis Mansion is so tight that we cannot approach."

It was a face Raphael knew..

After several days of observation, it was determined to be safe. So Raphael decided to take him to Kanna.

But before he went to see her, he had work to finish.

"Raphael. I have a favor to ask." 

"Order anything."

"Can you get rid of the World Tree?"

When Kanna asked him to do so, Raphael lied to her for the first time.

"Removing the World Tree is something I have tried before."

Actually, he's never tried it.

"I failed that time, but I'll try again."

He didn't want to try. So it was subtly hinted that it might fail.

Because the World Tree was important to him.

Perhaps because he underwent all kinds of research within the World Tree over the past 10 years, he had absorbed some of the World Tree's abilities.

One of them was the eye of the World Tree.

Through the eyes of the World Tree, he could look down anywhere in the world. So far, he has used this ability to check Kanna's whereabouts.

However, if the World Tree disappears, that ability will no longer be usable.

There was only one thing that bothered Raphael.

If Kanna is in danger, he cannot go to rescue her like before.

That was all.

'But I can't help it.'

Kanna told him to get rid of it.

Before removing the World Tree, Raphael closed his eyes. Lastly, he thought about checking where Kanna was and if she was safe now.

"..."

And soon after, he slowly lifted his eyelids.

'What did I see?'

Raphael just saw something very bizarre.

Kanna was lying in bed with a man. But that man...

'No, that's enough.'

If it's Kanna's will, there's nothing he can do. Because he already knew that he couldn't have her all to himself.

It wasn't pleasant, but that's all.

He knew love, passion, and adoration, but not jealousy.

It was clear that he had probably lost feelings such as jealousy or possessiveness while living in the World Tree.

Yes. Just as there are things lost, there are also things gained.

But now this ability is over. 

Raphael raised his hand. He raised his holy power and struck the World Tree.

Thud!

The black tree vibrates from the blow. It wriggled as if feeling pain. However, Raphael struck again and again without mercy.

And so a fierce fight began.

How many days have passed?

Wooooooooo!

Finally, the huge tree screamed.

With that, the ground shakes, and the air twists.

And soon the world tree lost its strength and began to disperse like a black fog.

'It's finally over now.'

Raphael wiped the sweat from his forehead. And to make sure that even the roots were gone, he approached the great pit where the World Tree existed.

He looked down.

'That....'

There was a person.

People were entangled as one body at the roots of the world tree, naked, with his whole body entangled in the roots, he writhes like a bug.

Raphael spotted a familiar face in the terrible scene.

"Kanna...."

No, it's not Kanna.

He's Arzenian.

At that moment, Raphael noticed. He was a familiar face not only to Arzenians but also to everyone.

The main characters of the portraits hanging on the wall of the main shrine.

Those who have represented The Great Hall for over a thousand years.

These were the victims who had undergone a purification ritual by combining with the World Tree.

'Is this their resignation?'

The next moment, the shapes of thoughts tangled in the roots all raised their heads. Dozens of pairs of eyes turned to him.

Same facial expression. Same eye. And at the same time, he burst out laughing.

At the same time, they tilt their head.

They said at the same time.

"Cute."

"It looks delicious."

"Should I chew on it?"

"Come here, pretty boy."

"Give me you and I'll give you up."

"The you you lost."

"Your jealousy, your anger, your hatred."

"Your ugliness"

***

Click! 

Lilienne dropped her wine glass.

"What did you say now?"

"Let's divorce."

Orsini Addis said calmly.

He roughly loosened the cravat around his neck, as if it were annoying, and threw it on the table. Then he spoke again.

"Didn't you hear? Let's get divorced."

"What are you talking about all of a sudden? Divorce, are you crazy? Are you kidding me?" 

"It's not crazy, and it's not a joke."

"Then are you serious? Are you seriously going to divorce me now?"

"Yes."

"Are you still human? I just got back from the funeral!"

Lilienne has been at the imperial palace for a long time because of Argon's national emblem and has now returned.

But Orsini wants a divorce as soon as she arrives? 

He's not the scum of the earth and he couldn't be this heartless!

However, Orsini spoke with an expressionless face, as if he had not the slightest sympathy.

"Let's proceed right away. I'll send you the documents, so fill them out."

Fortunately, with the change of spirit, the ridiculous system of marriage annulment ceremonies disappeared. Now, all it took was a few documents.

"Do not be ridiculous. Who do you think will be obedient? I have no intention of getting divorced!"

"You have no chance of winning the lawsuit."

At that moment, Lilienne's lips stiffened. Orsini sarcastically said.

"Thanks to the hard work you have done with the government, there is ample reason for blame."

"...!"

"If you want to get divorced and suffer all kinds of humiliation, do it. But if you crawl away quietly, I will pay you a generous amount of alimony."

"You..... You son of a bitch!"

"Do you know that now?"

He spat out a line like a villain and sent Lilienne away.

Orsini, left alone in the room, thought of Kanna.

He learned a lot about the Black Apostle's stronghold occupied by Kanna and the identities of the apostles that were secured.

But where is Kanna?

'Why are you so late?'

He guesses he has to let people go and find out. It was time to think like that.

"Your Excellency the Duke, the Princess of Kanna Addis has returned."

Hearing the butler's words, Orsini jumped up from his seat. However...

"His Excellency Duke Valentino has brought her here."

"...?"

His thick eyebrows twitched.

Why is Kanna coming with that bastard?

***

As the butler said, Kanna returned. She was completely drunk and in a drunken state.

'What on earth is this?' 

Orsini lay on the bed and looked at Kanna's sleeping face from afar. She had been drinking so much that her breath was filled with the scent of alcohol.

"What about Duke Valentino?"

"He goes away right away."

Fuck. 

Orsini cursed in his head.

Why did that bastard bring Kanna?

Has he ever been with that child? What have the two been doing so far?

The moment Orsini assumed it, his eyes were dizzy. He squeezed his eyes shut and rubbed his temples.

I can't believe I'll be with that bastard again...

It was then. Kanna's lips murmured.

"Bastard......."

What do you mean? Orsini listened.

"Bitch. Alex... I hate you...'

Orsini is not sure if she's drunk or asleep. but she's even muttering to herself.

Orsini was so dumbfounded that he burst into laughter. It was Kanna's first time being so defenseless.

A woman who was always wary of the world with a lot of thorns like a hedgehog, was released like this.

"Go out."

After sending the butler out, the two of them were alone, and he pulled out a chair and sat down next to Kanna. Then he looked at her sleeping face.

It was an instant to be mesmerized.

'How could it be like this... Could it be my taste?'

Even the shape of her nails was fantastic. Everything about her was deadly, like a natural enemy created to hunt him.

Before Orsinj knew it, the irritation had disappeared like melting spring snow. All that remains is the sweet heat that gradually boils hotter.

Orsini cautiously extended his hand. Just before the tips of his fingers touch Kanna's cheek.

Flash!

Kanna opened her eyes.

"..."

Orsini swallowed his saliva and stopped moving.

No. He just tried to touch her cheek.

".... Lex?"

For a moment, Orsini's heart dropped.

"Alex."

Kanna's eyes softened. It was the first smile Orsini had ever seen.

"Come on."

Smiling like that?

Kanna even knows how to smile like that?

"Hurry... Come on."

It was a sweet call. Orsini stood up like a man possessed by a ghost.

He knew she wasn't calling him. She was looking for someone else, he knew. Orsini knows but....

What does he know?

As he approaches, Kanna grabs his hand and pulls him towards her. Orsini fell helplessly onto the bed.

Soon after, Kanna snuggled into his arms.

"You can't go, Alex. You can't go without saying anything...."

All his senses were gone. Orsini looked down at Kanna, feeling as if he had become completely detached from the world.

The hand wrapped around his waist as if embracing a treasure, the face buried in his chest, and even the jewel-like tears sparkling in the corner of her eyes.

He breathed slowly. A distorted breath flowed out unsteadily. His heart was pounding wildly, partly from ecstasy and partly from shock.

Kanna is now mistaking him for someone. Maybe she's with someone who looks like him.

With the name Alex, or nickname...

No way...

Orsini frowned at the face that came to mind for a moment.

No way...

No way...
