SPMB - Chapter 242

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

"Raphael, it hurts."

Raphael's eyes widened at those words. Immediately Kanna fell like a burnt person.

He let out a surprised breath. When he asked, her neck turned red.

"Are you okay?"

However, Kanna just rubbed her palm a few times with a calm face.

"Sorry. I... for a moment..."

What was he trying to do? He almost bit Kanna until her skin burst.

"Raphael."

"Yes."

"Do you know anything?"

"What......?"

"..."

"...... Yes."

Kanna was embarrassed. Orsini and Raphael, why did everyone notice so quickly?

"How did you know?"

"I saw it."

Raphael stiffened and explained about the eyes of the World Tree.

"I see. That's why you were able to find out where I was until now."

"Sorry."

"Are you sorry? Thanks to that ability. I've been helped more than once."

If it weren't for those eyes, Kanna would have been crushed to death by the burning remains of the imperial palace.

'Yes, I probably died in a fire at Crescent's palace at that time."

Suddenly, the memory of Raphael hugging her and throwing herself into a fireball came to her mind.

Afterward, Raphael's body melted from burns. The future that no longer exists, is the reason why he became a white skeleton waiting for Kanna.

A corner of her heart ached again.

He was a man who gave so much to her, but she just felt sorry that she couldn't give him her whole heart.

"Raphael."

Raphael's face stiffened at the call. He seemed to be afraid of the next words.

"I told you this last time, right? I can't guarantee it won't happen again."

"It's okay."

"But you don't look okay. I am..."

"Sorry."

Raphael cut her off.

"I was wrong."

A deep fear flashed through his purple eyes.

"I will never be jealous again. So don't throw me away."

It's not like that.

His words made Kanna hurt more. Kanna finally couldn't hold back and let out her sigh.

"Is not it."

However...... Was Raphael always like this?

Was he a person who showed his emotions like this?

A thought crossed her mind that something had changed, but only for a moment.

Yes, people change.

The same goes for her. Who would have thought she would cry because she got dumped by a guy? 

"Raphael. I don't treat you like that."

Only then did Raphael's tense muscles quickly relax. Then he sneakily approached her and hugged her carefully.

"Sorry."

"It's okay."

"No, there are marks on my neck."

Raphael looked down at her neck. The marks he had bitten were clear.

Thank God. He's so glad.

Because no blood came out. Because he doesn't drink her blood. 

He really can't do that, it's so...

Too bad.

"You have to be careful, Cassil."

It's really annoying. Cassil suppressed a yawn. In fact, he had been holding back from before.

"Casil, are you listening?"

"Of course, Mom."

He's hearing it with his ears.

"You are the only heir to the throne."

"Yes, mother."

"His Majesty will be giving a speech during the purification ceremony that will be held soon. You should be there too."

"Oh yeah? Father?"

The corners of Cassil's mouth tilted up.

"Can a person who is high on drugs all day be able to give a proper speech in front of the people?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

He's not worried. A weak father who couldn't protect his son.

'It was actually good.'

Cassil didn't know what trick she did, but now his father was playing on his mother's palm.

Most of the time he was drugged and out of his mind, but when it was time to appear in front of others, he took the medicine his mother gave him and for a brief moment he seemed normal.

It was all his mother's will. Cassil gazed at her, feeling again how great Theresa was.

His mother was always smiling sadly next to his father...... 

Since when did she prepare for this?

"You must never make the same mistake again." 

Mistake? 

Cassil scoffed inwardly.

'My only mistake was not killing her then.'

However, Cassil smiled calmly, hiding her true feelings.

Something he couldn't do before.

But now he knows how to do it.

"Don't worry, Mother. Am I still like the kid I was back then?"

As time passed, the wet-smelling boy grew into a tall young man. He grew into a fully-fledged adult in just a few years. becoming young, beautiful, and filled with masculine charm.

Now there was no need to force a woman. Just a few sweet words and a smile were enough to achieve his goal.

But for some reason, Cassil completely lost interest in women. It's no longer fun.

In the past, it was fun like a game...... 

He's not interested right now. 

"I will never make mistakes like before again. So don't worry about anything."

Theresa seemed distraught but did not press on any further.

"How are your hands these days?" 

"Oh, this?"

Cassil smiled leisurely and raised his right hand.

"It's so comfortable that it's hard to believe it's a prosthetic arm. I think it's mine."

Did she say Joo-hwa? 

A woman, a councilor and alchemist, attached his hand to him with amazing powers.

"I really think it was my hand from the beginning."

The corner of Cassil's mouth twitched.

But this is not his hand.

Because it was cut. Because it was cut off and gone.

Cassil vividly remembered the pain and humiliation when his wrists were cut off.

"Mother, I always give back what I received."

For the past few years, the only thing on Cassil's mind was the woman who took his hand.

Kanna Addis. A bitch who won't feel relieved even if he kills a hundred times.

'How can I beat that bitch?'

After meeting with Theresa, Cassil was lost in thought as he walked down the hallway.

It was always like that, but after returning to the imperial family, his thoughts about her grew even more. When he woke up in the morning, all he could think about was Kanna until he went back to sleep.

A man in love is probably like this.

Seeing how obsessed he was, perhaps hate and love were just a page apart.

"Your Highness..."

Cassil stopped at the sound of a calling voice. She was a familiar face.

"Ah, it's Representative Joo-hwa. How have you been?"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness..."

"If you have any business, please tell me."

"Well, you know."

Anyway, it was a frustrating year. Cassil wanted to slap her in the face and tell her to speak quickly, but he held back.

Not only is she the future Duchess of Valentino, but more than anything else.

'Because this woman made my prosthetic hand.'

Finally, Joo-hwa spoke.

"Are your hands okay?"

"Yes."

"But it won't be as good as the original hand, right?"

What are you talking about?

As his eyes turned grim. Joo-hwa suddenly smiled. He laughed as if imitating someone.

"If it were me, I wouldn't leave alone the person who took my hand."

"What do you want to say?"

"There is a saying that the enemy of your enemy is your friend. His Royal Highness Prince Cassil, I will be able to be a good friend to you." 

Cassil didn't answer. Instead, he stared at her with his animal-like eyes. Joo-hwa showed her swallowing nervously.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Just as Joo-hwa's face was fading, he added.

"But I think you would be a very good conversationalist. Would you like to talk in a quiet place?"

"Oh, yes!"

Succeded.

Joo-hwa who had been very scared on the inside, breathed a sigh of relief. And she ran after Cassil.

'I thought this person would be able to communicate.'

Other people just can't communicate.

"It's better not to touch Kanna. Joo-hwa. You got scolded last time too."

Arzenian. Perhaps because he was Kanna's biological father, it was clear that he was cheating on Kanna.

"I don't think it's a good idea. Timing-wise, it's better to stay quiet now. At least until Cassil ascends to the throne."

While he pretended to be dead. Argon was also dissatisfied with his skeptical attitude toward touching Kanna. He even scolded her.

"Don't forget that you played a trick on Kanna earlier. Thanks to that, we suffered a lot of damage."

No. You can't leave Kanna alone.

Joo-hwa kept repeating.

'Something has to be done.'

It was almost like a compulsion as if someone was giving orders inside my head. Don't stay still. Do anything.

Whatever it is.....

"Now then, shall we talk?"

Cassil brought Joo-hwa into his room and closed the curtains. Joo-hwa twisted the hem of her dress.

"I have a great idea...."

***

"There is someone who would like to see you. He said he knew about the curse of Alessandro Addis."

"But why didn't you bring me?"

"If you stand out, you are in trouble. Especially to the people of the Addis family."

"Who is it?"

Raphael hesitated for a moment. It was very difficult to explain. Because he couldn't even trust himself easily at first.

He was a person for whom it was impossible to exist 'here."

"You will know when you meet him. Would you like to come with me?"

So Kanna left the mansion with him. The other person was staying at a small inn nearby.

"It's in this room."

As soon as Raphael knocked, the door burst open.

'Oh, it's big.'

The person who opened the door was so tall that Kanna had to immediately raise her head high.

The opponent was wearing a black robe. What is revealed outside the robe is a sharp jawline and a determined mouth...

'Uh?'

Kanna's eyes widened. That face...

At that time, the man raised his hand and handed over his robe. The hem of his clothes fell back, revealing his face. Red hair sways lightly. And then their eyes met.

Green eyes that are so familiar. In an instant, Kanna's mind was swept away by a white wave.

This is ridiculous.

"Why you?"

Kanna asked with a trembling voice.

"Why are you here?"

It was Alessandro Addis.
