SPMB - Side Story Chapter 26

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

It's been four days since Kanna was tied up in the underground lab, and she seemed to have no strength to struggle anymore.

"Why on earth are you doing this to me?"

Kanna asked in a very hoarse voice. Kalen shrugged his shoulders.

"Well. I don't know either."

Her attitude suddenly changed completely.

"Now I will listen to you carefully, huh? So please let me out."

Kalen smiled slightly. Does she really think he would be fooled by a lie like that?

"Sister, if this becomes known, my reputation will fall to the ground."

"So? What do you want to do?"

"I plan to cover it up. The only ones who know about this are me and you, so shouldn't I just keep your mouth shut?"

For a moment, her face turned pale.

"You can't believe me..."

Oops, he guessed she mistook it for a death threat.

He added quickly.

"I bought an island."

"What?"

"It's a very beautiful island. You can feel comfortable there."

"..."

Kanna seemed completely speechless.

"Please remain quiet. I will come back in the evening."

Kanna trembled.

She gritted her teeth and swallowed something, and swallowed, and swallowed, until she couldn't hold it back and screamed.

"Kalen Addis, you crazy bastard! I am not your property! Release me now!"

"..."

"Save me! Please, anyone is welcome! Save me! Help me!"

Kalen crossed his arms and quietly watched Kanna.

How long has it been like that?

In the end, Kanna was exhausted from the effort and sank down. Kalen asked calmly.

"Are you finished?"

"You son of a bitch."

"I thought your learning ability was good, but now I see it's not true. You know better than ever that no one will come, right?"

He lifted her chin and made eye contact. Her eyes were filled with fear.

Kalen smiled at her.

"See you later, sister."

***

'What's this?'

Kalen frowned.

He was in trouble.

Colin Davis formally asked Kanna to marry him.

"Useless."

His sister must live as his property until she dies.

It was a fate that was decided from the moment they crossed the irreversible river. Regardless of his desire to dominate her, he had to do it to hide what he had done to her.

If all the facts become known, his prestige will fall, and in the worst case, he may lose his status as a minor Duke.

'Yea. That's a secret between you and me. It shouldn't be known to the world.'

The best way to hide a secret is to kill the other person...

Kalen have no intention of killing hia sister.

Rather, he wants to keep her by his side and take good care of her.

So he bought an island.

For him and her, for each other's happy ending.

***

Several days have passed.

He steadily prepared to move Kanna.

To prevent her from being bored, he decorated the island's mansion richly and bribed the island's residents to prevent her from escaping.

Everything went smoothly.

Until that day.

"Sister?"

When returning from business at the imperial palace.

"Where are you, sister?"

The basement lab was empty. Only the rope that bound her hands and feet was left discarded.

'Ah.'

When Kalen saw that scene, his head went blank.

She does not exist.

He doesn't have a sister.

'Did you run away?"

Breathing becomes rough, Kalen swallowed his staggered breath and lifted the rope.

Cross section sharply cut in one attempt.

This is something Kanna could never do alone.

This is...

'Someone cut it for her.'

And soon he found out the identity of 'someone'.

"Colin came to visit today, didn't you see him?"

Isabelle said with a puzzled look.

"I don't know when he went back. I saw him coming in, but no one saw it coming out."

Colin.

Kalen's jaw tightened.

Yes, if it's Colin.

He has been frequenting this mansion since he was young. He might be able to find out about a less traveled route.

Since Colin was close to his sister, he would have known about the existence of her underground laboratory. That guy helped his sister escape.

How dare, to mine.

My woman.

"Haha......"

In an instant, the heat surged. Fierce anger raged.

Kalen placed his hand on his forehead and then removed it. At that time, his eyes had already calmly sunken.

'If you tried to run away.'

He knows because they are friends.

Something for Colin to think about. Things he can't think of, things he can do, and even things he can't do.

Kalen can read it like reading his palm.

"Brother Kallen? Where are you going?"

"I'll be back for a bit."

"Where are you going?"

Kalen laughed without answering. His blood boiled and he couldn't help but laugh.

It's hunting time.

***

"Huh, oh oh...."

Their breathing can be heard from afar. They finally caught up.

By then Kalen had dismounted. Then he started walking on his own feet. There was no need to rush as the prey was just around the corner.

Colin did not receive help from his family as expected. He hid completely and tried to flee abroad. They must have been planning to cross the border through this forest.

Colin would have been able to last a little longer if he had received help from his family.

Anyway, he's a foolish guy.

"Colin."

At that time, Kanna's voice was heard.

"That's enough. You should go back now."

"No, I will never leave you behind."

"But you could also be in danger."

"Let me take you to safety, please.."

"Sorry."

"Why are you saying you're sorry? The bad one is that guy, Kalen Addis!"

"But because of me, you...".

"Stop It, Kanna. No idiot can stand by and watch the woman he loves become like that."

Oh, is that so?

Kalen twisted his lips and smiled. How can he say love in a situation like this? 

They are playing very well.

"Colin, I..."

"I know. Kanna, you said you love another man, right?"

At those words, Kalen stopped without realizing it. He held his breath.

Sister?

Kanna loves someone?

"I'm just happy as long as you're safe. So, Kanna, let's just think about running away for now."

Kalen slowly, very slowly brushed his hair. His exposed eyes froze angrily. So he decided to just finish it quickly.

'It's annoying...'

“Ka, Kalen!”

He followed closely behind and deliberately revealed his presence. Then Colin was startled and hid Kanna behind her.

Kalen laughed.

"Hello, friend. It's a good night, right?"

Then he lifted the bow slung over his shoulder. He pulled it at once.

Colin's eyes widen.

"Kalen, wait a minute!"

At that moment, they may have had a brief conflict.

Colin Davis. His only friend.

A childhood friend who has been with him since childhood.

Memories, and happy moments he shared with him passed by like a flash of light...

But it was only a moment.

Kalen immediately let go of the bowstring.

"No!"

At the moment of hitting, Kanna's scream rang out. Colin's lip twisted in pain.

“Ka, Kalen, you.....”

Kalen didn't listen. From the moment he left the mansion, he decided that he would see Colin for the last time tonight.

Kalen has no hobby of talking to corpses.

Afterward, Kalen shot three arrows in succession. He never strayed.

“Ah!”

After a few stumbles. Colin's body collapsed. Only then did Kalen lower his bow.

"Colin! Oh, no! Colin!"

Kanna cries out as she holds Colin's lifeless body. As he approached her, she glared at him with her tear-covered face.

"You! How could you do this! Colin is your friend!"

"It doesn't matter whether it's friends or family. What's important is that he touched mine and learned my secret."

"What a devil..."

Kalen said with a sigh.

"Don't make yourself tired, get up."

"You son of a bitch, you'd rather kill me! Kill me here too!"

"I can barely hold back from wanting to do that. Wake up, sister."

"No! Let go of this!"

Kanna shook off Kalen's arm. Then she desperately started to run away.

“Ah!”

Then she got caught on a tree root and fell. Kalen watched the ridiculous one-man show with expressionless expression.

"Be careful, sister. You must have no energy since you have been tied up for several days."

Then he approached her.

"Oh, don't come!"

Was it because she witnessed Colin's end? 

She seemed to have lost strength in her limbs and could not even get up. She was struggling as she fell.

It was like a deer with a broken leg.

How pitiful, how pitiful...

Kalen licked his dry lower lip. And he thought.

Maybe those who are addicted to hunting are actually addicted to moments like this.

The moment when you can freely admire the trapped animal and then capture it whenever you want.

"Sister."

Kalen leaned down. He lowered the bow and pressed it gently against her back.

With that alone, Kanna froze in that position like a stone statue. He ordered.

"Look at me."

After a while, Kanna slowly raised her head and looked up at Kalen. Her eyes were filled with fear.

"You are beautiful even in moments like this."

Kalen laughed, looking at her distorted face.

He thought he was already at the bottom and couldn't fall any lower than this...

"You're really, crazy pretty."

There was no end to the fall.

***

After that day, Kanna was completely discouraged.

'You did well to be cruel.'

Does it feel like you've finally tamed a vicious dog? 

As a result, it was a good thing that he obtained a docile Kanna.

Kalen moved her to the island.

Everything went smoothly.

Someday someone will notice her absence, but by then it will be too late. They'll never be able to find it. Like Colin.

Colin was publicly reported as missing. Although he is actually buried somewhere very deep in the forest.

Kalen's heart ached.

Colin Davis. He was Kalen's only friend.

But once Colin found out the secret, there was nothing he could do. Kalen has no choice but to kill.

'I'm sorry, Colin. So why did you do something useless? Why do you make me have no choice but to kill you?'

Kalen prayed for the rest of his old friend's soul and smoked a cigar. It was a cigar that Colin gave him as a gift.

'If there is such a thing as a next life, please don't get involved with my sister.'

***

It's been a month since Orsini Addis has been in and out of support. When he couldn't see a single hair on Kanna's head for a whole month, he became even more violent.

"Shit. They all look like dogs."

He was always very angry, and everything in the world was unbearably annoying.

Orsini knew that he was being completely destroyed.

Would it have been better if he had just left this house? Or if Kanna went out...

If one of the two had gone somewhere out of sight, things might have been better than they are now. But she lived in this mansion all her life.

Those tortured years were long.

It was so long.

"Damn bitch, what on earth are you doing that I can't even see your nose sticking out?"

Orsini went down to her underground laboratory. Bang, kicking down the door and entering.

"Hey, filth!"

But the lab was empty. Is that it? There was a thin layer of white dust on the desk.

"What?"

The moment he swept the dust with his finger to check, Orsini realized immediately.

Kanna is not in this mansion.

Probably, for quite some time.
