SPMB - Chapter 263

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

Kanna opened her eyes.

"Are you awake?"

Warm eyes were looking at her. Kanna was blankly staring at him, and then she smiled.

Again. She's seeing a fantasy again.

The Alex he saw in the vision of the World Tree. Alex is not cold to her, Alex is very kind.

He was looking down at her.

"You seem tired. Sleep more."

Instead of answering, Kanna grabbed his fingers that were combing her hair and squeezed them. Then Alessandro let out a low laugh.

Did she know that this person could laugh like this?

'As expected, this is a fantasy.'

Maybe she's seeing a memory from the past. Twenty-year-old Alex rarely laughed like this.

Alessandro said.

"Sleep well, Kanna."

Kanna's heart relaxed at the soft voice.

It's like Alex on that day, at that moment, and a warm feeling of happiness comes over her. Kanna closed her eyes and mumbled.

"Don't go anywhere, Alex...."

He didn't answer. Instead, he sweetly blessed her.

"I hope you only have good dreams."

It's not fair, is she the only one who always falls asleep?

She wants to tell him that too...

***

Kanna opened her eyes again.

"Sister, are you awake?"

'It's a bed.'

She was even lying in Kalen's arms, with his arm resting on her back.

'What?'

This guy is definitely dead. To be asleep in the arms of that guy...

'Am I dead too?'

She guessed she's come to a place called the afterlife.

The moment she thought that Kalen grabbed her hand and lifted her up. He whispered, lightly kissing her fingertips.

"Thank you for surviving."

His eyes were red. He seemed worried about her 

"You're coming back to life, aren't we dead?"

Kalen smiled at those words.

"You're not dead, sister."

"What?"

"You're alive. Me and my sister too."

Everything slowly became clearer. His voice, his eyes, and the temperature of his hand touching her cheek became clearer.

The last time she touched Kallen's hand, it was as cold as ice...

She looked up at him in silence for a while and then called him carefully.

"Kalen?"

Then he closed his eyes and smiled.

"Yes. Did you call me, sister?" 

At that moment, a strange emotion filled Kanna's heart..

He answers.

Kalen, who she thought would remain silent forever, is alive and answers at this moment.

"How is this...?" 

It was then. The door slammed open.

"Sister!"

It was Isabelle and Lucy. They were so excited that they rushed over.

"Sister, are you awake?"

"Uh, sister, are you awake?"

"I was very worried!"

"Well, I was very worried!"

"Sister, I was sorry about the past! You were so damn right! I was bad!"

"Me too! I'm sorry too. Mom lied and said she was sick...."

"Hey, Lucy. Why do you keep repeating what I say?"

"Ta, you're not copying! I also have something to say to my sister..."

What is they saying now? Suddenly came in.

Kanna watched as if fascinated, then turned her gaze to the man who followed them. The moment she met his eyes, Kanna was deeply relieved.

“Kanna.”

He lives.

This guy didn't die either.

He survived and came to her side again.

Orsini quickly approached and looked at Kanna's face.

"What about your body? Are you okay?"

"I'm okay."

Kanna felt embarrassed for some reason and took his hand away. Then she looked at each person in the room one by one.

Kalen, Orsini, Isabelle, Lucy.

She thought everyone was dead...

"What happened?"

Is it because it is an absurd reality? The joy was short-lived. Only a vague suspicion remained.

"How is everyone alive?"

In particular, Kanna saw Kalen and Isabelle's bodies with her own eyes.

"What about Raphael? Where is he now? Besides, how am I still alive? I'm definitely dead?"

"Calm down, sister. I will explain everything."

Kalen continued while holding her hand.

"Raphael is alive. Just a little, no, quite a bit. He has changed quite a bit, though."

"Change, how?"

"It would be better for you to check it yourself. Anyway, he's safe."

 And the story continued. It's an unbelievable story.

"You mean this was all his doing? And...."

For a moment, Kanna's throat felt clogged.

"He left?"

Alessandro Addis left the mansion.

"He's going to have fun."

"When will he be back?"

"When he gets tired of playing."

Kanna could not believe that he had so proudly declared his wanderings.

"Yes. He left this letter for my sister."

At that moment, Lucy quickly stepped in and held out a letter. Isabelle grumbled in disbelief. 

"Lucy, did your father entrust this to you?"

"Yes."

"That's strange. Why did he entrust this to a clumsy little girl like you?"

"Well, I'm not sloppy!"

But Kanna knew. The reason he entrusted the letter to Lucy.

'Because he doesn't want other people to see it.'

There's probably a very secret story written there. If it were Lucy, there would be no way she could see it secretly.

"Can everyone please leave? I want to be alone for a moment."

After sending everyone out, Kanna was finally left alone. Kanna's heart beat rapidly as she opened the letter.

"Save me, Alex."

The story started from there.

It all started with a sweet request whispered without knowing that it was a curse that would swallow up a man's life.

And it was finally over.

Alessandro desperately saved her.

So isn't it time to turn to the next page?

'Maybe he wants to go away and live alone with me. Maybe that's why he left first.'

The destination may be written inside this letter. Somewhere it might be said that he will wait for her to come.

< Now, never touch alchemy again. Be careful not to break the walls of the world.>

However, contrary to expectations, the first sentence was a strict nag.

<What you said earlier is correct.

I cooperated with Seon-hee to save you.

I indeed loved you for a while decades ago, but I didn't keep you just because of the promise I made when I was young.

If you die, the world dies too.

You were the only one who could destroy the World Tree and prevent the world from cracking.

That's why I valued you more than anyone else.

Also, my eternal life, which you believed was a curse, was alchemy to share life with you at the last moment.

As a side effect, I had insomnia, but it all disappeared with this incident.

It's all over now, Kanna.

I have the right to rest and freedom.

So you too, live your life. >

"Ha.."

The crackly handwriting is so cold.

So the conclusion was that they should go their separate ways. Now live your life. I will live my life too. Interference is prohibited. It was that kind of letter.

'Is this what happened in the end?'

A cold wind blew in her chest. Her fingertips ached from the extreme loneliness, but she persevered.

Is it because of her callousness that she has suffered so much? It wasn't something she couldn't bear.

'If this is what Alex wants, there's nothing I can do about it."

Besides, she had promised him to forget everything, so now it was her turn to keep her promise.

'Still, I wanted to at least say thank you.'

But they will meet again someday.

After enjoying freedom and relaxation, he will come back at least once when he misses home.

It won't be too late to say thank you for saving her. Kanna suddenly felt sad, but she deliberately thought cheerfully.

It's okay. There is no need to be sad.

Although Alex's love disappeared due to time, it does not become fake. It wasn't even a lie. It was real.

So, if she misses something, she can just take out the memories of that time.

Decades ago, when he picked raspberries for her. Or the time when she was teaching him a text message, or the time when they couldn't sleep even a wink because they were so conscious of each other in the same room.

Alternatively, it might be a good idea to reminisce about the time they spent in a coastal town not long ago.

Because love will exist forever in that moment.

Kanna lifted up the letter. She pressed her lips to the letters he left behind.

"Goodbye, Alex."

Please live freely.

No longer a life to protect something, but a life just for himself. And...

"Good night. Sweet dreams."

***

What was the problem?

Alessandro looked at the exploded pot and sighed.

This time it exploded again without fail. He brushed off the onions that had fallen on his hair.

But this time too, the taste was quite good.

After emptying a bowl of stew, he looked at the glass with a rather solemn look on his face. It was carrot Juice.

"..."

The conflict was short. He boldly reached out his hand and drank it in one gulp. And he quickly put down his cup.

'It was a pointless attempt.'

Since it was the last time, he tried it just in case, but still. As expected, this damn carrot was not a vegetable that humans could eat.

Alessandro washed the dishes and then cleaned the house. After washing his body, he changed into clean pajamas.

Now the end is approaching.

Not only was his soul being broken into pieces, but his holy power was also crumbling to dust.

This was a divine punishment. It was a punishment for violating the world's causal law.

And Alessandro was willing to pay the price.

Before ending, he sat down on the sofa and smoked a cigarette for the first time in a long time. Then he took out a very old letter and read it.

Perhaps due to age, the letters were blurred, but he could see them. He has already read it dozens or hundreds of times, so it is clearly imprinted in his mind. It was so clear it felt like she was whispering in his ear.

"See you again."

This is his favorite sentence.

A faint smile crossed Alessandro's lips. If he thought about it, he was lucky.

He miraculously met, fell in love with, and reunited with a woman he would never have met before. He experienced a lot of pain along the way, but it was all bearable.

There is only one thing he cannot bear. Because he couldn't meet her. 

"It was nice meeting you."

That was the end.

Alessandro extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and placed the letter on the nightstand. Then he lay down on the bed.

Sleepiness came quickly.

It's natural.

Because he was so tired, so exhausted that he could never get up again.

So now it was time to sleep.

As he felt distant, he could faintly hear the sound of waves outside the window.

Is it an auditory hallucination? Her voice seemed to be heard in the crashing waves.

"Good night. Sweet dreams."

Alessandro slowly closed his eyes.

If he had one last chance to dream, he would...

Soon, thick darkness swept in like a tsunami. She devoured him. He was dragged down very deep.

Deep.

Dark.

To a cozy place.

Finally, Alessandro fell asleep for the first time in decades.

It was an eternal rest.

I am amazed at those of you who followed this series from the beginning and were able to follow it until now. As a MTL-er of this series, sometimes I feel confused about the storyline because it was so complex. LOL. In no time we reached the end of this series...
