SPMB - Chapter 240

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

A long, long day has passed.

Early in the morning. Kanna opened her eyes.

'... It's still raining.'

The heavy rain that started yesterday was still continuing. Kanna looked up at the ceiling blankly and then turned her head.

Alessandro was sitting by the bedside, looking at her.

"You're awake."

"Yes."

Alessandro was already neatly dressed.

Kanna stared distantly at the pure white shirt wrapped around his body. As she looked at the neat clothes without a single wrinkle, they all seemed fake.

It all just happened in one violent dream. Maybe nothing happened in reality.

"Now...."

Shoot, her voice was drowned out by the pounding rain.

Kanna spoke a little louder.

"I have to go back now."

***

"I do not need it. I can go alone."

Alessandro was displeased. She refused him to see her off. 

"It's okay, don't worry."

"Don't worry?"

He let out the nagging noise he had been holding in.

"I didn't like that you came here alone. You must bring at least one escort."

"I can protect my body. Don't you remember?"

"What?"

"Don't you remember who protected you from the black apostles when you were poisoned?"

"..."

Alessandro remained silent at the story from decades ago.

"You sure didn't forget, right?"

"No."

He muttered with a sigh and turned his head.

"I remember."

"I see..."

He remembers.

At that moment, a pathetic hope arose. Maybe, if she tempts him a little more, they might be able to go back to the way they were before....

Look. This is why it can't be done.

Kanna smiled bitterly.

She made a promise to Alessandro. She will forget everything that happened here, even what happened last night... 

So now it's time to keep her promise.

But why is there no end to human desires?

Now she knows that it really can't happen, but she keeps having hope.

But if this continues, it will only become difficult for Alessandro.

'We'll be alone in the carriage, but I don't have the confidence to be quiet.'

If she can't finish it here, she won't be able to finish it in the future. So Kannq refused like a sword.

"If you're going to go back to Addis like this, let's go together. If you just want to see me off, there's no need."

"..."

"I will finish the medicine soon and send it to Claude. Until then, refrain from taking poison."

"..."

"And I'll come back when I find the clues to the curse. If you are going to move somewhere else, you must tell me."

Finally, the carriage arrived.

When Kanna tried to get into the carriage, Alessandro held her hand and supported her. Kanna was startled by his firm fingertips touching her unexpectedly.

'Oh really.'

Don't touch me suddenly! My heart drops every time you touch me!

Kanna calmly looked back, suppressing the urge to scream and the desire to grab his hand.

Their eyes met.

For a moment, Kanna's eyes were dazzled as if she were facing the sun, and she narrowed her eyes.

They stared at each other.

Look a little more, a little more..

"Bye."

It was Alessandro who broke the silence.

"Be healthy, Kanna."

Kanna didn't know why it sounded like a final goodbye.

"Yes."

Goodbye...

My Alex...

***

And Kanna cried a little in the carriage. 

When she was shedding thick tears alone like a fool, she found whiskey on the shelf. 

'I want to drink.'

Come to think of it, she hasn't had a proper drink since coming to this world. It was a dangerous life to enjoy drinking.

But...

'Alcohol is meant to be consumed at times like this, right?'

Since she's the only one here right now, she won't have to make mistakes with others, so you can rely on alcohol for a while.

Kanna thought so and stretched out her hand.

She only intended to drink one glass, but one glass turned into two, two glasses turned into three, and Kanna ended up emptying the entire bottle of whiskey.

And as a matter of course, she got completely drunk.

"Alessandro Addis, if you're going to do this, you shouldn't have touched me. You bastard."

After speaking, Kanna felt really hurt.

"That's harsh. That person is the one who will suffer the most more than anyone else. Watch your mouth."

"But you boasted that it wouldn't change, so what is this!"

"Shut up. If you curse that person, I won't let you go."

I mumbled like a person with two egos, but at some point, I completely fell asleep.

"Huh?"

How much did she sleep like that?

Kanna woke up to the sound of a knock on the carriage door.

It was a coachman. 

"I'm sorry, Miss. Now the wheels of the carriage are stuck in the mud."

The coachman's words became blurred. He smelled the smell of alcohol wafting inside the carriage. 

Kanna said, applying pressure to her tongue, pretending not to be drunk.

"Take care of it."

"Ah, yes, yes. All right."

The door closed again. Judging by his embarrassed expression, he seemed surprised that the noble Lady was drinking alone and was speechless.

Kanna grumbled dissatisfied.

"Why? I'm a human too, and things can be too hard for me to bear."

Can't she cry? Can't she drink?

There are days when she wants to break down too....

'Oh my God.'

It's really pathetic. Kanna ended up laughing at her own poor performance.

'I feel stupid.'

It's not that anyone died, but it's so big that love has ended.

Her relationship with Alessandro is not over, but she can meet him again whenever she wants.

But why is she falling apart like this?

'I'm glad there's no one next to me. I'm glad that only the coachman witnessed this.' 

Kanna laughed self-deprecatingly and fell asleep again. And she felt like she heard something in a dream.

"The carriage wheel was broken...."

"Move. I took the Duke of Addis daughter to Addis Mansion..."

Dizzy. Kanna was unable to come to her senses due to the overwhelming intoxication. Then she suddenly met blue eyes, and she seemed to say.

"It was a you."

"You got dumped?"

"The man I love rejected me. I can't help it."

It was a line that I would regret kicking off the blanket later.

And the man who heard that line seemed to burst out laughing. It's kind of like an angry laugh.

The moment she thinks like that.

Darkness.

"Uhm..."

How long has it been?

When she opened her eyes again, she was on the bed.

"This place...?"

Ah, headache.

Kanna held her pounding head and strained her eyes. 

This was Addis Mansion. She thinks she was in the carriage just a moment ago...

"Are you awake?"

Kanna was startled and turned around.

"... Are you okay?"

Orsini was lying right next to her, resting his chin on his head. Kanna was momentarily speechless.

For a moment, she thought it was Alessandro.

Is it because sh was stuck with him for days on end? 

Kanna realized once again that Orsini really resembled Alessandro. In particular, those eagle-like eyes were similar to Alex's when he was 20 years old.

Is that why? Kanna's heart was pounding loudly, but it calmed down quickly.

They just look alike.

Orsini is not Alessandro.

"Why are you here? Why are you in the same bed as me?"

Kanna was about to shoot, but she closed her mouth. Her headache got worse. 

Orsini, who watched this, laughed.

"Are you an asshole? There are so many different things."

"Watch what you say, you!"

Anyway, that angry head never dies. Orsini clicked his tongue and raised his body. 

Pulling the strings, he called the maid.

"Bring me something good for a hangover."

After a while, Kanna drank the tea served by the maid. Only then did she feel like she had some life to live.

"Sylvienne Valentino brought you here."

"That person?"

Orsini's face became grim, an expression she didn't understand.

"Could it be that that bastard brought you in when you were drunk and stretched out on the street?"

Is that possible? 

She drank alone in the carriage. Is not it? 

"I think I heard that the carriage broke down midway......'

Slowly, her senses began to return. And then Kanna realized. She acted like a very pathetic jerk.

'I guess I went crazy for a moment.'

Kanna doesn't understand why she's going through the pain of her first heartbreak, and she acts like whatever happens happens.

"Hey."

Orsini, who had been quietly observing her, opened his mouth.

"Where have you been all this time?"

"I went to see your father."

"..."

Kanna had no intention of hiding it. It was something that would be revealed if investigated anyway.

But for some reason, Orsini's face seemed to rapidly turn pale.

"Right."

However, he soon washed his face and adjusted his expression.

"Your guest is here now." 

"Guest? Oh, by any chance Raphael?"

"Yes."

Kanna immediately stood up.

That's it. The play with love ends here.

It was time to stop shaking and focus on what needed to be done again.

"Then I'll go."

The moment she said that and pulled the doorknob, Orsini suddenly stretched out his hand. Kanna pushed the open door and slammed it shut.

"Kanna, you....." 

Orsini blurted out.

"Alex."

Yes

Kanna called him that.

As if calling for a lover, as if calling for love.

And she smiled like he had never seen before.

"I went to see your father."

It felt like the blood in his whole body was cooling.

Even his fingertips were frozen with murderous intent toward an unknown opponent. His stomach churned. It was very disgusting.

Kanna...

What's her relationship with his father?
