SPMB - Side Story Chapter 1
My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone
"Sir Alessandro. You are here."
Alessandro glanced up with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Theo."
The blonde man was looking down at him.
Theodor Azel. He was a knight of Addis and an old friend of his.
"You came at the right time. I was slowly getting bored."
A gambling hall filled with cigarette smoke. As if he had been winning the entire time, there was a pile of chips next to Alessandro.
"Are you going?"
The courtesan, who had always had her eyes on Alessandro, clung to him. She pressed her lips to the nape of his neck.
"Don't go and do something fun."
A nearly naked woman rubbed her voluptuous breasts on his arm.
It was so obscene that it made Theodore, who was watching, blush, but Alessandro grabbed the woman's shoulder and pushed her away with an indifferent face.
"Move. I'm tired."
"Tired?"
The woman laughed as if she had never heard such a rejection before.
"Is it possible for a man to do that? Ah, it looks like you like your guy. Is this blonde guy your lover?"
"Uh."
"..."
The woman was speechless for a moment and then reacted late.
"Oh my, that's what it was. I was rude."
Theodore's face, who instantly became Alessandro's lover, turned red. But before Theodore could protest, Alessandro stood up.
"Let's go, Theo."
What a damn human being.
Theodore asked. looking at Alessandro with resentful eyes.
"What are you going to do with that money?"
"Ah, that."
Alessandro looked at the chips piled up in place and then gestured.
"Anyone can take it."
At that moment, silence fell within the gambling hall.
The moment Alessandro turned his back, people rushed at him like a pack of dogs.
"Get out of the way, out of the way!"
"It's mine! It's my money!"
Theodore hurried out, leaving the gambling house that had turned into hell.
"Sir Alessandro."
"Why?"
Why?
Theodore looked desperately up and down at Alessandro.
'It's a sight to behold.'
His hair was messed up, his shirt had two or three buttons undone, and there was even a trace of red lipstick on the nape of his neck. The sight of him taking out a cigarette from his pocket, biting on it, and lighting a match is truly...
"Do you know that anyone can see that you are a man addicted to alcohol, women, and gambling?"
Then Alessandro grinned.
"It's the right amount."
"Don't admit it!"
"Don't be noisy. It's been a while since I had a change of mood."
Theodore pursed his lips at those words.
Well, he's been busy dealing with the black fog for the past half year.
At that time, the heroic story of Alessandro Addis, who defeated the clouds of monsters without causing a single casualty, spread throughout the continent.
And...
'Now the hero enjoyed gambling with women on either side of him.'
This feeling of disparity was difficult for Theodore to bear. He knew because he had been watching Alessandro for a long time.
Alessandro was wary of allowing his reputation to become too favorable. To a certain extent, he was right to ruin things on purpose.
Like right now.
Theodore said, trying to believe it.
"Anyway, this is not the time to be here. You must return to the mansion quickly."
"Why?"
"Her Highness the Princess of Yalden has arrived."
Tuk.
The cigarette fell from Alessandro's mouth. After a while, he spoke fiercely.
"I would have said I wouldn't get engaged."
"It's no use telling me. Please go back quickly. Please erase that lipstick stain from your neck."
"No. It goes on like this."
"Yes? But...."
"It would be better if she would leave after seeing this."
***
"What is that, sir?"
Catherine, the Princess of Yalden, shot back coldly.
"How could you do this to your fiancee like that?"
"Fiancee?"
Alessandro smiled crookedly.
"As I've told you several times, I do not agree to this engagement."
However, Catherine snorted as if she was seeing the cat's anger.
"Don't act like a child. This engagement has been approved by the Duke of Addis."
A few months ago.
In the northern mountains of Yalden, he rescued a Princess surrounded by monsters. She must have been so impressed that the Princess followed him around and proposed to him.
"Would you like to meet me on the condition that you marry me?"
"I have no thoughts."
But the Princess was persistent.
The Princess proposed an engagement to the Duke of Addis, that is, his father and his father accepted it positively.
"Marry, Alessandro."
"I don't like it."
"This is an order from the head of the family."
"Why am I getting married all of a sudden?"
"You will change when you get married. You need a woman to put a rein around your neck."
Reins. If he's not saying anything crazy, why are he talking about reins?
"Sir Alessandro, that thing on your neck....?"
At that moment, Catherine's expression became sharp. It looks like she finally discovered a red lip print.
"Do you really have a lover?"
At that moment, Alessandro was conflicted. Should he just say his lover is a man?
'Then this leech-like woman will fall off on her own.'
Theodore's gentle face passed by, but he stopped.
Although he is widowed, he is married. Doesn't he also have a young son named Claude?
Alessandro felt a bit sorry to use him again for something like this.
While hesitating, Catherine spoke first.
"It doesn't matter who it is. Take her to the government. I can tolerate that."
Catherine smiled as she took a sip of wine.
"But you shouldn't see a child with another woman."
"..."
"Sir Alessandro's child will undoubtedly be an excellent talent. That child must become my successor."
"Are you treating me like a stallion?"
Catherine did not bother to deny it.
"I am the heir to the throne of YaIden. Producing heirs is the King's greatest duty. So, isn't it natural to want a quality companion?"
"Great duty?"
Alessandro quietly reflected on those words.
"Your Highness doesn't know what kind of person I am."
"If you are talking about the Lord's nature, I know."
Catherine smiled confidently.
"I heard you assaulted a member of the royal family when you were a boy, and now the Emperor himself?"
"..."
"It's a little better now, but when you were young, your fists started out, right? Well. It seems like the commoners' hobby of playing at gambling tables still persists. Even the Emperor's name is still easily ignored. I don't care about laws or regulations."
"Are you Investigating my background?"
"It doesn't make sense to call it a background investigation. If I am interested in someone, I can find out information right away."
Catherine's eyes burned like fire. It was a feeling of ownership rather than affection.
"Is it so. You are not a great person. You are excellent and outstanding but also arrogant and rude."
"..."
"Do you think there's any other woman besides me who could handle a man like you?"
Alessandro rested his chin in silence.
Princess Catherine.
She was a talented person who was able to heal Yalden, which was divided into dozens of branches. If things continue like this, she will definitely become a conquering King who will leave a lasting mark in history.
'So this is the woman who wants to conquer me too.'
Thinking about that made Alessandro laugh.
"Even Your Highness can't handle me."
"Don't underestimate. My vessel is bigger than you think."
"Is that so."
Alessandro stretched out his hand. He lifted the wine bottle off the table. He lifted it directly onto the Princess's head.
"Sir Alessandro, what are you doing?"
The next moment, gurgle. Red wine poured down on her head.
"..."
She was met with a shocked gaze. Meanwhile, the wine continued to slide down her cheek and soak her clothes.
Alessandro looked down at her trembling eyes with disdain and poured the wine. Only after the last drop had fallen did Catherine's lips twitch and open.
"What are you doing now?"
"I like this."
"I beg your pardon?"
"I'm telling you that I enjoy insulting you."
Alessandro stared at the Princess's flushed face as if appreciating it.
"But I'm just so embarrassed..."
Then he laughed very irreverently.
"How are you going to handle me?"
The next moment, Catherine stood up from her seat. She hit Alessandro hard on the cheek.
Slap!
His face turned.
"What a thief!"
The Princess waved her hand again. But this time Alessandro grabbed her wrist.
"..."
At that moment, he saw Catherine stop breathing. Her face and even the back of her neck turned bright red.
"Your Highness is the one who wanted such a robbership."
Alessandro babbled dryly.
"You said you wanted to have my child? Great. If you want it so much, there is nothing that can't be done."
"You!"
"But I do it my way."
He didn't listen to what was said. He lifted her up onto his back. He walked over to her and threw her on the sofa.
"What are you doing?"
"As I said, this is my preference."
Alessandro spoke harshly while unbuttoning his shirt.
"I will give you the child you want so much. But that's it. I cannot marry you because it is not my taste."
Looking down at the completely frozen princess, Alessandro lifted his chin in annoyance.
"What are you doing? Take it off."
The next moment, another slap came.
Since it was intentional, he accepted it gently this time.
***
"You rude guy!"
Of course, he got slapped by his father as well.
"Why do you treat the Princess of your mind?"
Ileio Addis, the current Duke of Addis, shook his fist in anger.
"Be thankful that Her Royal Highness did not officially protest this matter. And apologize formally! Do you understand?"
"I don't like it."
"What?"
"Her Royal Highness is the one who should thank me. Didn't she hide the fact that she was following me around like a crazy duckling?"
The reason everything with the Princess was done in secret was because of her pride.
"I could have humiliated the Princess by publicly rejecting her advances. But out of consideration for her honor, I tolerated it."
Alessandro slowly lifted his downcast eyes and looked at his father.
"That's as much as I can tolerate. Her Royal Highness has crossed a line."
The Duke grabbed the back of his neck.
Blood pressure gradually rises.
"Anyway, how can you be so rude? How can you do such an animal thing!"
"Then why did you attack such a beast with a random woman?"
"Alessandro Addis!"
In the end, the Duke of Addis exploded.
"You damn son of a bitch!"
He raised his finger and nudged his son's shoulder, which seemed like a crazy horse.
I want to read about Kanna and Alessandro and not how he made kids with someone else.
ReplyDeleteYour disgust is understandable but tbh Im pretty curious about his past. Beside, we rarely see him talking about it and its kind of a breath of fresh air.
DeleteAgree its like a breath of fresh air, after all the complex plot twist and the weird harem relationship at the end of the main story.
