SPMB - Chapter 255

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

"...Father."

Orsini reacted a beat late.

"Are you back?"

Alessandro nodded once without answering. Then he walked into the room.

The closer he got, the closer Orsini's thorns became, like a hedgehog. That was the boundary as a male.

Alessandro stopped in front of the bed, ignoring his son's warning.

In front of Kalen's body.

“Kalen is dead.”

Finally, Kanna spoke. Her voice was as small as a whisper.

"And Isabelle...."

"..."

"Lucy was kidnapped by Argon. Now, the knights of Addis are searching them."

There was too much delay due to the black fog created by Argon.

"It is."

Kanna bit her lip.

That's it?

His son is dead, his daughter is dead, his youngest daughter was kidnapped, and he's probably going to die soon...

The ominous feeling becomes increasingly sharp. Kanna clenched her fists.

"Orsini, can you please make room for me?"

At those words, Orsini glared at her. His green eyes instantly heat up.

"Why me....?"

It looked like he was trying to refute it. But soon the tip of his tongue relaxed.

Kanna's eyes were determined. It was cold.

Orsini let out a short laugh. It was close to self-deprecation.

"Oh yeah. Of course, I should. If it's going to go away, I'll have to go out."

After he left, only the two of them were left in the room.

"..."

Kanna took a moment to catch her breath.

It was the first time since that day. The most beautiful and most painful days of her life in the coastal village. It was just a little while ago. 

However, when she saw Alessandro's eyes looking at her, it felt as if it had happened in a past life.

Kanna suddenly became curious.

Is this really the man? Could it be the same man who looked at her intoxicated with passionate love?

Kanna couldn't believe it.

"I want to ask you something."

Kanna hesitated for a moment. She had so many things she wanted to ask and be curious about.

"Alex, you..."

Kanna saw another him not long ago. He said he was Alessandro from the past. Does he know it exists?

"You..."

He are cooperating with Seon-hee, right? Where on earth did he plan it?

"Lucy."

But at this moment, nothing was more important than this.

"Did you raise Lucy to use her?"

"That willingness." 

"I have never been more afraid of you than I was then. So that my biological father can target her instead?"

Probably not.

Say no.

Lucy is not the bait to replace Kanna.

"Yes."

However, to put the wind to shame, Alessandro meekly admitted it.

"What?"

Is that why?

Kanna couldn't accept it all at once.

"What did you say just now?"

"Arzenian led me to target Lucy instead of you."

"..."

How can he be so calm?

Is it strange that Kanna feels dizzy? Or is he talking about different topics?

Otherwise, there's no way it would be like that...

"What about Kalen?"

Kanna pointed to his body. Her fingertips twitched slightly.

"Did you know Kalen would end up like this?"

It was a statement without any evidence. It was just a suspicion that a rose after hearing Lysbia's words.

So Kanna guess not. That can't be possible.

No way...

"Yes."

But it was the same this time too.

"I knew."

Kanna looked at his face blankly.

At one point, when she was looking into his glass-like gaze, she felt the string that had been pulling dangerously in her heart snap.

Ah.

Kanna sighed. And she was once again completely convinced.

This person... He really doesn't care about anything but her.

'It was like that too.'

He knew Kalen would be like this.

Alessandro just knew. He didn't utter a word of warning or try to stop it.

He just left him alone. Let him go like that so that his son chooses to die on his own. Alessandro just stood by like that.

How is that any different from contributing to Kallen's death?

"But why didn't you warn me in advance?"

Her own voice as she said that was strangely calm. Perhaps it was because it was such a terrible fact that she wasn't even surprised. There wasn't even any anger.

"Answer me, Alex. I asked why you didn't stop it."

Then, after a moment of silence, Alessandro answered.

"This is the only way.'

This is the only way?

There was no need to think deeply about what was being said.

"Protect me, Alex."

In the end, that's it this time too.

Kanna burst out laughing. It's obvious. Because of those words. Because she held his hand and begged. Because he couldn't calmly shake off that hand.

In the end, the culprit of all this was herself.

'Yes, it's all because of me.'

Protect me, Alex.

That request was a curse that broke him.

"I don't need it anymore."

That's why it had to end. Cursing words that would ruin not only him but his children as well.

"What do you mean?"

"It means I don't need your protection. Don't try to protect me anymore."

She should have said this a long time ago.

"I am an adult and can now take care of my own affairs. So stop."

"..."

"I don't know what you are planning with Seon-hee, but stop it. Do not do it."

Alessandro tilted his head slightly and looked down at her. He was just watching the list of words. Anxiety welled up in that motionless expression.

"So don't worry about me anymore and save Lucy. She is your daughter."

It was almost a plea. Kanna grabbed his arm.

"Alex, please, don't let Lucy or Addis die for me."

Silence fell.

It was an eerie silence.

Kanna herself is so desperate, so anxious, but this heat is not reaching the other person even an ounce.

Finally, Alessandro opened his lips.

"There is no ending where everyone is safe."

"Who's going to take care of everyone? Even if it's just someone important to you...!"

“Kanna.”

What a quiet voice.

"Only you are important to me."

In an instant, her entire body lost all strength. Suddenly, the hand holding him fell down.

"No. Please. Please..."

He hung up as coldly as frost.

No. So much rejection was implied in that one word. It was so empty that Kanna muttered helplessly.

"If you do this, you are a complete villain."

"I'm a villain."

A slight smile appeared on Alessandro's lips as he said that.

"You're not wrong."

"Alex, please."

"Don't try to convince me. It's a waste of time."

"No. I have to. I don't know what you're trying to do, but don't do it! If you continue, I will hate you and blame you!"

"That's not bad either."

Alessandro muttered quietly.

"I am not afraid of your resentment. What I'm truly afraid of is you.."

He trailed off. He quickly swallowed it with his mouth.

Kanna waited for the next words. By this point, she was genuinely curious.

Kanna didn't know what made him so afraid that she committed such a crazy act, or why he was convinced that it was the only way to protect her.

Oh, or perhaps...?

"Are you here to see a future where I die together with Seon-hee?"

At that moment, Alessandro's jaw tightened. Kanna asked with her tired eyes.

"If you don't do this, will I die?"

Alessandro turned around. That was the end of the conversation.

He walked towards the door without another word. Then he stopped in front of the door.

"All the misfortunes that happened in Addis were caused by my heartlessness. It has nothing to do with you."

"..."

"So don't get caught up and live your life."

That was the end.

Alessandro just left the room. Kanna hurriedly chased after him.

"Alex?"

But the hallway was empty.

It was then. A loud rumbling sound echoed through the mansion. It was a roar as if the sky was splitting open.

'This sound....'

Kanna entered the room again. She looked out the window.

“Ah.”

The sky was splitting open.

Kanna grabbed the window frame so hard it broke.

Rumbling, the sky opens up like a crack in a horrifying roar. A black fog began to seep out from the black gap.

'The walls of the world have been broken.'

Lucy.

After all, they ended up harming Lucy.

That's not all. Kanna knew what was about to happen.

As she went back and forth between the past and time, she saw a certain future. That terrible moment that Raphael had been waiting for until he turned white.

At that time, the entire world was engulfed in a pitch-black fog.

No...

Destruction was beginning.
