SPMB - Side Story 36
My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone
The man answered right away.
“You don’t have to know.”
"Yes?"
“I am leaving soon.”
Then he takes a step back again.
"Then."
Was that a greeting?
The man just turned around.
Kanna blankly watched his back as he walked away.
'What?'
What just happened?
Kanna was so entranced that she looked at the spot where he had disappeared, then turned around and went back to her room.
'What?'
She flopped down on the bed and buried her face in the pillow.
'What the hell is that, him?'
Kanna felt like she had seen a ghost.
Kanna was immersed in a strange sensation for a while and soon fell asleep.
That night, Sylvien met with Alessandro.
“Is this really the end?”
Sylvien broke the crystal ball that had disrupted Kanna's mind.
He said, picking up a piece of the broken crystal ball.
“Is Kanna feeling better now?”
"Yes. If an artifact is destroyed, the power within it is lost. That's what I experienced. but..."
Alessandro paused for a moment.
“There may be confusion until she comes back to her senses.”
“If she's confused..."
“It’s a mental issue. She will probably experience delirium tremens in stages.”
“Anyway, it’s going to be okay in the end, right?”
"Yes."
Sylvien glanced at the scar on Alessandro's cheek.
“What on earth happened?”
What happened that caused Alessandro Addis to get hurt? How well does he know about artifacts?
But instead of answering, Alessandro just straightened up.
“I will organize the details in a letter and post them.”
“...Are you really going?”
“...”
Sylvien hinted and caught him.
“How about you stay longer?”
"No."
Alessandro turned around. There wasn't even a trace of regret on that broad back.
“Now my role is done.”
While she was sleeping, old memories came flooding back to Kanna.
“Brother, I’m so scared.”
“It’s okay, Kanna. I will protect you."
Memories of hiding in the closet with her brother to avoid the wool's luminescence. And memories of countless whispers of love.
"I love you brother."
"I love you too."
“You're the only one.”
“You are the only one for me.”
...But how can that be?
Kanna suddenly woke up and looked up at the ceiling.
'It hurts.'
For some reason, her head felt like it was going to explode. Her mind felt jumbled and tangled.
Amid all the confusion, only the feeling of betrayal came to mind clearly.
'How can my brother change?'
That doesn't make sense.
He whispered that he loved her so much and said that she was the only one he loved in this world.
At that moment, fear washed over her like a tidal wave.
What if she loses her brother’s love like this?
Before that, she has to do something, somehow.
“...Kanna?"
When she came to her senses, Kanna found herself in the bedroom of Duke Orsini of Addis.
How does she know the location of his room? She just can't figure it out.
“Hey, what do you think?”
A red-haired man raises his upper body with a surprised face. Kanna recklessly climbed onto his bed.
“Duke of Addis.”
Then Kanna felt him take a sharp breath.
“The Duke is so cool.”
Kanna wrapped her arms around the man's neck.
“The Duke is so handsome, I think it was love at first sight.”
She looked down at the man's mesmerized face and smiled brightly.
“What does the Duke think of me?”
Kanna reached down and grabbed his wrist.
“When I think of the Duke, my heart beats like this. Can you feel my heartbeat?”
His overlapping hands were trembling.
The one he loves is Addis's eldest daughter.
It doesn't matter what.
Kalen Addis already has a close relationship with her.
Now all she has to do is seduce this person.
"Yes? Tell me, please. What does the Duke think of me?”
She wanted him to kiss her first. She wanted him to lose his reason and reason and want her.
Just like now, like an animal.
Kanna hugged his neck passionately.
She felt like she was going to lose her mind like this. She wants this so much, this person, these lips...
"Brother..."
It was a whispering moment.
"Brother?"
Sylvien burst out laughing as he recited the words.
"It's good. That would be fun too.”
He pushed Kanna's body as if throwing her onto the sofa.
“Yes, Kanna Valentino. Just keep calling me brother until the end.”
Sylvien spoke in a heated voice.
The cravat was torn off in one go with a rough grip. He threw it away.
After a while, Kanna's collar buttons burst all at once.
“You don’t have to know.”
"Yes?"
“I am leaving soon.”
Then he takes a step back again.
"Then."
Was that a greeting?
The man just turned around.
Kanna blankly watched his back as he walked away.

Now all she has to do is seduce this person.
"Yes? Tell me, please. What does the Duke think of me?”
Kanna kissed his lips like Raphael had taught her. She caressed him as Kalen had taught her.
“I am yours.”
Finally, a boiling voice came from the Duke.
“I want you so much that I think I’ve already turned away.”
“It means you love me, right?”
“...”
“I love you too.”
The man stopped breathing.
It felt like his heart had stopped.
It was that kind of face. The look on his face was as if he was being murdered at this moment. Even if she cut into his chest and took out his heart like this, he wouldn't know.
Kanna lowered her lips to his. And she chanted.
"I love you."
“...Say it again."
"I love you."
"Again."
Kanna constantly whispered those words and showered affection on him.
It drenched him like a torrential downpour, making him lose his senses, or even lose them altogether.
"Kanna..."
Orsini Addis called her name. The whole time he was calling that name.
Kanna looked at his face.
She looked at that face at the peak of ecstasy, a face that seemed as if he would fall in love with her, whether it was a dream, a fantasy, or a trap, for a long, long time...
“I don’t mind dying like this.”
She fell asleep listening to his cracked voice for the last time.
Kanna's head hurts so much. It feels like it's going to split even while she's sleeping.
The dream and the memory struck her with violent force.
“Brother, will you escort me during my debutante?”
"Of course. Do you think I’ll let someone else do it?”
Kanna laughed and jumped into his arms.
Then he hugged her and kissed her forehead.
“You are the person I love the most, and I can’t pass up that opportunity to someone else.”
Kanna was happy to hear those words and kissed his cheek.
“I love you the most, too.”
At that moment, his eyes burned.
He looked at her as if he was going to eat her, then smiled again with his brother's eyes.
“I love you too, Kanna.”
Kanna noticed that something had changed.
It was then that she became completely sure.
A fifteen-year-old debutante. The first time she danced with another man.
"It was fun?"
Huh?"
“You looked like you were having a lot of fun with Colin Devis.”
It was when she was resting alone on the terrace for a while.
Her brother came in right away. He had a smiling face as always.
“He kissed your cheek.”
Although he had a smiling face, a strange, intimidating feeling that was different from usual weighed down on him.
“You look very good, Kanna.”
Her brother strode towards her. Just as she was being frightened by the storm-like force.
He grabbed her face.
"Ah..."
Hot lips touched her cheek.
Press down firmly on the area where Colin hit.
No.
It was closer to her lips than where Colin had kissed.
The distance where the edges of each other's lips are barely touching. A place where your lips can touch even if you twist your head just a little, just a little.
They stopped there and caught their breath for a while. With the tip of their noses, only each other’s body scent and breath.
How did he endure it? How did he feel about enduring it?
"Sorry."
After what felt like a thousand years, Sylvien raised his face.
At that time, he was smiling brightly as usual. It was as if the turbulent storm a moment ago had been a mirage.
“I guess the wine was a bit too much.”
"Brother."
“I’ll go back first, so have fun, Kanna.”
At that moment, I completely realized it.
That he loved her so much that his love surpassed his feelings for her younger brother.
Kanna remembers the joy of that moment.
'My brother really loves me.'
Afterward, Kanna enjoyed his love and tested his patience.
"I love you brother."
Cheeks, chin. near the lips. Very close.
If Sylvien lost control for a moment, he kissed her lips at a distance that could engulf her at any time.
Each time, his beautiful blue eyes burned with desire. Then it burned black.
Kanna enjoyed his suffering.
All his pain, patience, and guilt were evidence of love.
'I may be a truly terrible person.'
If her brother found out about her like this, he would get sick of her too.
He is said to be a very desirable monster, and he will probably regret having taken over his younger sister by mistake.
But even so, he will love her in the end.
Because Sylvien Valentino is hers.
'But it can't be like this.'
The dream was so intense that Kanna couldn't tell how much of it was a dream and how much was reality.
Kanna just realized it when she saw the red-haired man, the Duke of Addis, sleeping next to her.
She had just woken up from a dream.
It's the reality now.
'My brother shouldn't betray me.'
Kanna stood up.
She couldn’t remember how she got to the imperial palace.
Her head was confused. She felt heavy as if she was drunk and dizzy as if she was anemic.
"Kanna?"
And when she finally found him, Kanna ran to him.
Then he reflexively opened his arms and hugged her.
"Brother."
“Yes, Kanna.”
Sylvien laughed.
Kanna laughed harder.
“Brother, I’m here.”
Then, Kanna raised her toes and whispered in his ear.
What happened with Raphael.
What happened with Kalen.
What happened with Orsini.
It was described quietly, as if telling a very interesting story, in great detail, to the point of being creepy.
From beginning to end, without missing a single detail.
“How I felt at that time..."
As Kanna's story went on, Sylvien's face sank slowly, very slowly.
“Do it in moderation.”
In a stark confession that could not be stopped, he very quietly warned.
But Kanna ignored it.
“...So then the Duke of Addis was on my back..."
The smile on his lips slowly disappeared. The smile completely disappeared from his blue eyes.
Eventually, it dried up like a dry and barren desert...
Finally, the temperature plummeted to below zero.
"So."
After a while, Sylvien opened his lips and stopped smiling.
“Why are you so kind as to explain that to me?”
Has his voice ever been this low?
"Say it."
His hand grabbed Kanna's collar. Pull it up roughly as if grabbing the collar.
“Are you that curious about this?”
Kanna shivered with a thrill of pleasure as she watched his face get closer and closer.
At las.
He finally gets angry.
Her brother is angry with her.
“Did you really want to see me roll my eyes?”
Sylvien laughed as he said that.
He smiled only with the corners of his lips and said.
“Are you confident you can handle it?”
The next moment, he bit Kanna's lip sharply.
'Ah.'
A sweet pain comes over her. The pain made Kanna feel infinitely distant.
Yes, that's right.
She wanted to bring down her brother.
“I am yours.”
Finally, a boiling voice came from the Duke.
“I want you so much that I think I’ve already turned away.”
“It means you love me, right?”
“...”
“I love you too.”
The man stopped breathing.
It felt like his heart had stopped.

The cravat was torn off in one go with a rough grip. He threw it away.
After a while, Kanna's collar buttons burst all at once.
People be shitting on Alessandro for his choice to be with Kanna at the end of the main story but I wonder how they will react if they see these alternate timeline where Kanna died and unable to live her life. As unethical and disgusting her relationship is to him, she ultimately survives because Alessandro plays a huge rule on her life behind the scene so she can survive.
ReplyDeleteOh Orsini finally got what he always wanted 🥲 I’m so happy for you, buddy.
