SPMB - Side Story Chapter 25

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

At dawn, Kalen thought as he buttoned his shirt.

'Are we really blood relatives?'

He had such questions endlessly.

'No. I don't think so.'

Of course, there is no basis for this.

He just doesn't think so.

When he thinks about it, he thinks he's had that feeling for a long time.

Ever since he saw Kanna soaking wet on a rainy day.

And when he reached ecstasy, burying his face in her clothes.

It was the same yesterday.

At the party, next to Colin, watching Kanna dancing with that child.

It occurred to him that there was no way that woman could be his flesh and blood.

'I guess I'll have to do a test.'

Fortunately, there was an alchemist who could determine blood relations.

All he needs is a drop of her blood.

Kalen ordered the maid to pretend to have made a mistake while helping Kanna dress up cut the wound and wipe away the blood.

Then he left it to the prosecutor.

Results come out in a week.

***

"It's my one-sided unrequited love."

Colin, whom he met a few days later, sighed deeply.

"For now, we're just friends. It's sad, but it's nothing more or less."

"Yes?"

"So, please help me."

Kalen laughed silently. He took out his cigar and Colin grabbed it quickly.

"I will do it, Brother Kalen."

Colin cut off the end of the cigar with a knife and put it to his lips.

"Now, tell me to do this, great brother Kalen."

"There is nothing like that."

"Hey, help me! You're Kanna's brother!"

But this son of a bitch... Kalen bit down on his cigar and held back his swearing.

"Kanna? You are being too easy-going. Why don't you just refrain from calling her by her first name?"

"Why? Kanna also calls my name comfortably. We can get along to that level."

We?

Kallen looked at Colin and sucked on his cigar. The embers burned bright red. We?

"By the way, Kallen, what is your relationship with Miss Ell Andoit? Rumors are going around that she is your mistress."

"Well, just a few times."

Colin's eyes widened as he spat out smoke and responded angrily.

"Was it real? You? Why? You are quite... You don't do it, do you?"

"Don't talk vulgarly."

"No, even Ell Andoit, didn't you avoid women of different social status? For what reason?" 

"Well."

Kalen laughed, shaking off the ash from his cigar.

"I liked her voice."

"What's her voice like? Does something get hot when you listen to her?"

"If you're going to keep talking cheaply, you better shut up, Colin Davis."

"I'm sorry, Brother Kallen. I will correct it."

"I do not need."

"Please don't do that and help me with my relationship with your sister. I will definitely repay the favor."

"You take care of it. It's none of my business."

Kalen stood up.

"I am going. Don't look for me for a while."

It was unpleasant. So much so that he wants to kill him.

***

As Kalen was passing through the hallway of the mansion, he ran into Kanna.

"..."

Kanna just glanced at him and passed by. Kalen immediately stopped in his tracks.

His head felt tingly.

'She ignores me?'

Me?

Are you ignoring me?

"Sister."

He called but was ignored again. Kalen followed behind her.

"Sister, please wait."

"What?"

As he followed her to the underground lab, Kanna turned around.

"Why are you bothering me like this?"

"..."

In an instant, his hair turned white.

When Kalen saw her up close, she was truly beautiful. No, he couldn't describe her simply by saying she was beautiful.

Something like an invisible poison seems to be hovering next to her. It's as if the approaching opponent is suddenly grabbed, pulled, and sucked....

"What is it?"

Kanna urged nervously. Kallen couldn't speak right away. And she said he was annoyed with himself. 

'What the hell?'

Isn't he acting like a country bumpkin who has seen a beautiful woman for the first time in his life?

Scattered around Kalen like pebbles were handsome and beautiful women. Of course, his sister stands out among them all, but he is not the type of person to be swayed by the shell.

He means, it's just complicated, because...

"I want to get along well with you."

Kalen said, swallowing down his boiling emotions.

Yes, that is the purpose.

He wanted to get along well with his sister, which he decided to do, but he also wanted to correct the mistakes he made when he was young.

Kalen set a goal to do that.

Because she escapes, because she destroys it because she mocks it, but because that mockery is extremely beautiful.

So, isn't it natural to feel so dizzy?

Kalen's mind becomes agitated.

"How am I going to make you feel better?"

"What are you saying now?"

Kanna seemed shocked and laughed.

"I have no intention of doing that so don't bother me."

"What is the reason? Is it because of something from your childhood? If that's the case, I apologize. I was immature."

"Is that all it is?"

Kanna smiled crookedly.

"You stole my clothes."

"..."

"Is that all? What on earth was that rainy day? And I saw all my clothes hidden in your room. You took my clothes to that level......."

Then Kanna shut her mouth tightly as if she didn't want to even think about it. She seemed to be suppressing nausea.

"It's disgusting. Kalen, you are so disgusting."

Kanna caught her breath and fired again.

"Kalen Addis, I know who you are. Your insides are full of the stench of decay."

She poked Kalen on the shoulder. It stung as if he had been pricked by a rose's thorns.

"Orsini looks better. At least he's not as sneaky as you."

"..."

"You appear to be a nobleman, but in reality, you are nothing more than a dirty and despicable pervert. Would I like to get along well with that kind of person? Rather, as you said before... It's better to live like a maggot in this underground lab."

Then she added sarcastically.

"Or accept Colin's marriage proposal."

Kalen thinks that was the final blow.

"Proposal of marriage?"

Only after hearing those words did Kalen realize that he was standing on the edge of a cliff. And he just started falling down.

"Whose will it be?"

The voice was so low that it seemed like there was a shadow over it.

At that moment, even Kanna was shocked and stiffened her shoulders. But she soon answered in a strong tone.

"That's my heart. Do you still believe that you can control me to your will?"

"Of course. Because I am Addis."

Kallen stared at her with dark, closed eyes.

"Addis is all mine. You are mine too."

"You're crazy."

Kanna seemed genuinely afraid.

"You are out of your mind, Kalen Addis. You're completely crazy."

The fear in her eyes was rather pleasing. And at that moment, Kalen made a decision.

Yes. This is better.

This is better than being ignored or hated.

Let's just become an object of fear.

"Anyway, I have nothing more to say to you, so go back. Now don't even pretend to know me."

With those words, Kanna enters the lab.

Kallen looked at the lab door with calm eyes. Then suddenly he remembered that time.

When he was very young and immature, he locked Kanna in this laboratory, locked the door, and completely forgot about it.

His sister had to stay locked up for several days.

It was worth it. Because no one visits this basement. His sister's cries and pleas probably didn't reach anyone.

She must have cried for days, asking for her life, for her life to be taken out..

Poor thing.

Kalen looked at the door that was open at an angle and followed her inside.

Bang!

The door was closed.

".... Kalen?"

Step by step, with each step, he had the distinct feeling of falling down. Into a dark, black pit, underground from which he can never rise again.

Kalen looked at the floor.

***

<As a result of determination using the magic stone, there is a 99.9% probability that Kanna Addis is not related to Kalen Addis.>

Kalen laughed. He knew it would be like this.

'Should I say it's fortunate?'

Any hint of guilt was completely gone.

Yes, as expected, it was someone else. He felt that she was not his blood relative.

Then....

'There's no problem now, right?'

Kalen meekly accepted his rational attraction to her.

It was clear that he had sensed his instincts early on.

So, he acted like that, and that's what happened.

Now Kanna is afraid of him.

'Yeah, that's much better.'

Kalen opened the next envelope with a satisfied smile. It was a letter from Colin.

<I haven't been able to contact Kanna for a few days, and I'm worried that something bad may have happened.

Do you know what happened?>

He knows. He knows very well.

<Apart from that, I have something to talk to you about, but I don't know why you're avoiding my visit these days.

I ran into Miss. Ell Andoit a while ago.

I remembered you saying you were attracted to her voice, so we exchanged a few words out of curiosity.

But her voice.....>

Kallen read the letter thoughtfully.

<...... It's the same as Kanna's voice.>

Afterward, laughter came out.

< It was an eerily similar voice. If I closed my eyes and listened, I wouldn't be able to tell who was who.

But ever since I heard that voice. I feel like I'm going crazy. I keep having ridiculous thoughts.

I have this rubbish thought that maybe you met that woman as a substitute for Kanna...

That can't be possible, yes?

You didn't like her because she had the same voice as Kanna, right? Isn't that why you made Ell Andoit your mistress?

Isn't that what it is, Kalen?

Am I making a very disgusting misunderstanding? Is that so? >

After reading up to that point, Kalen crumpled it.

"What a misunderstanding. It's been a while since you started acting smart."

Kalen mumbled and threw the letter into the fireplace. He pulled the leash and called an aide.

"Did you call me, Duke?"

"There is something I must do right now."

Kalen handed the document to his aide.

"Buy this island."

***

The next day, Kalen Addis purchased a small island to the south.

It was a small but beautiful resort.
