My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone - SPMB - Chapter 196

“You chose well.”

Kanna was coldly sarcastic.

“If you had tried to trick me, I would have never seen you again.”

“There’s no point in deceiving me since you found out.”

Kallen smiled faintly.

“When did you notice?”

“I’m sure now.”

She felt his jaw muscles tighten and she was sure.

“I thought it was suspicious ever since I saw you smoking a cigarette on a tree.”

Kalen clicked his tongue at those words.

“When that damn son of a bitch dared to hug you.”

“…”

Is it because of the mix of experiences from the ‘Wren’ era?

Even though he was Kalen, his tone became rougher.

He said in a disapproving tone.

“Yes, my memory came back, even if only for a moment.”

“Did you steal my money?”

Kanna asked and tried to put her hand down, but he quickly grabbed it. Then he leaned his face into her hands. It was like an animal enjoying its owner’s touch.

“You’re right.”

Kalen said, looking straight at her.

“I stole it.”

“That’s shameless. And then you ask for something in return?”

“I want to be by my sister’s side somehow. But Wren swears he’s innocent. So please don’t throw that guy away.”

Kanna looked up at him blankly.

A guy who was much taller than her was leaning his face into her hand and giving her a blind look.

Kalen.

Kalen Addis, chose to die by falling from the spire.

“Kalen, would you die if I want to?”

As soon as the question was asked, Kalen nodded.

“Of course. I will die the moment you want, in the way you want.”

“Do you want me to stay next to you?”

“You know very well, sister.”

As Kalen said that, hope and despair were mixed at the same time in his eyes.

Even though he hoped she would approve, he knew that wouldn’t happen.

Because he knows Kanna very well.

His guess was correct. If he were the person he was until yesterday, he would definitely have refused. If only he had lived a life where he only pursued his own happiness.

Kanna smiled silently. And she found the woman in her heart.

Tatyana. A symbol of her happiness.

Her stomach swelled as she soaked in her peace.

They captured her and killed her. It took her breath away.

“Kalen.”

“Yes.”

“Have you ever asked me before why I can’t forgive you and why I’m obsessed with what happened in my childhood?”

Kalen’s mouth hardened. He hastily excused himself.

“Forgive me. It was my arrogance.”

“I hate you. No matter how nice you are to me and how much you apologize, this feeling will never change. I don’t even want your apology. I just wish I could live my whole life without seeing you.”

That was all Kannq wanted.

She didn’t really want revenge. She just wanted to get away from them.

However, Addis persistently pursued her again and again, and Kanna struggled to force them away.

“If I endure it and let you stay by my side, will you listen well?”

“Yes.”

“Are you going to do anything I ask?”

“Anything.”

He said.

“I will do anything you want me to do.”

It was the answer she was hoping for.  Kanna laughed.

“Come here, Kalen.”

Kanna lowered the hand she had placed on his cheek. She then spread her arms.

Kalen watched in a daze. He had a dreamy face.

“Let’s reconcile.”

Kalen hesitated, then took a step closer. Carefully he crawled into her arms.

Kanna grabbed him and hugged him as if biting him.

“Please forgive.”

“I forgive you too.”

Those were empty words.

A weight like dust that will fly away the moment you touch it.

Kalen would have known too. What is false. It’s just a trap.

Nonetheless, Kalen’s body convulsed with joy. This was something he had hoped for even in his dreams.

“Thank you for accepting it, sister. I meant it. Everything was sincere.”

As proof, Kalen’s heart beat rapidly. Kanna confessed, feeling his pulse through her skin.

“It’s actually a lie. I’m doing this because I think you’ll be useful in my future work.”

“I know.”

Kalen hugged her and whispered. His voice was trembling with emotion.

“It doesn’t matter, whatever…”

Kanna closed her eyes and leaned her face against his chest. He reminded herself of the Queen. The woman who foolishly tried to embrace her. She is the woman who died because of her.

‘Sorry.’

It was an apple that would never reach her.

‘But don’t worry. I am…’

Because Kanna will take the Queen’s revenge.

“There are things in the world that cannot be overcome by individual strength.”

“There will come a moment when your strength alone will not be enough.”

‘Yes. Her Majesty the Queen. You are right. I can’t handle that huge group by myself. So I’m going to follow your teachings.’

Kanna opened her eyes again. Darkness falls on artificially created pink eyes. She made up her mind. All the seeds of the black apostles that exist in this world will be eradicated. Whether it is an Emperor, an Empress, or Joo-hwa, there are no exceptions.

Kanna will do anything to do that.

At this moment, she was holding Kalen in her arms. Like sharing a false embrace of reconciliation.

This can happen to anyone. Whether the opponent is Orsini, Sylvien, or Alessandro…

She will use everything available. If she needs his body and even his life, she will use it like a tool.

Kanna closed her eyes again. She suddenly felt like crying, but she held it back.

Tears for the Queen when it’s all over.

She decided to shed it then.

***

After several days of funerals, Kanna announced that he was leaving Yalden.

“What?”

Lorenzo, whose eyes were swollen, was startled and tried to stop her.

“Where are you going, Tatyana?”

“Yes, Tatyana. Think again.”

Even Joanna caught her. Kanna just smiled like a doll.

“Sorry. My thoughts haven’t changed.”

“But…”

Joanna’s eyes became red.

“I already don’t have a mother, and without you…”

Oh, these poor people. They really consider Kanna’s family.

Kanna felt sorry for that.

Not just Lorenzo and Joanna. So did the Queen.

So the Queen tried to embrace Kanna

So the Queen died.

“Tatyana, don’t go. If you don’t want to marry me, you don’t have to. Huh?”

Lorenzo also desperately grabbed her.

“…”

Only Alexei remained silent.

After the Queen’s death, Alexei became less talkative. He didn’t even look at Kanna with his yearning eyes. It was as if he had become a different person.

Just like before he loved her. Just like when they first met.

‘You really weren’t that stupid.’

Alexei’s change was desirable.

“You know that I am Kanna Addis, right?”

Lorenzo and Joanna fell silent at Kanna’s words. It was the first time since Tatyana had mentioned that name.

“I told you before, but the Black Apostles are targeting me. And this incident will not be unrelated to that.”

The Queen died because of her. Kanna was saying that.

But Kanna knew how these idiots would turn out.

“It’s not your fault.”

Kanna let out a faint laugh at Lorenzo’s words. She knew it would be like this.

Joanna added quickly.

“There’s no need to feel guilty for that reason. It’s the Black Apostle that’s bad, not you.”

These people are the reason she has been extremely happy for the past three years. So much so that her chest-like heart, which was full of thorns, became quite round.

“Your Majesty the King, please make a different judgment than Your late Majesty.”

But Kanna spoke firmly. She appealed to the man, who succeeded as Queen and became a King.

“I am going back to Addis.”

“…”

“It’s safe for everyone to be there.”

Alexei finally looked at Kanna. His eyes were emotionless.

“Okay.”

He forced down his surging emotions and let out a controlled voice.

“Do as you wish.”

Lorenzo and Joanna seemed upset, but they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.

The other person was no longer an older brother or brother that one could deal with comfortably.

He was the King who carried this royal family and the country called Yalden on his shoulders.

“Thank you so much for everything.”

Kanna looked at Alexei. He bit his lip and looked away. Tears were welling up in the eyes of Joanna and Lorenzo.

Kanna greeted them.

“I was really grateful. I was happy to be together.”

***

“Wait!”

As Kanna was walking down the hallway, someone followed her.

It was Lorenzo. He stared at her, his tear-stained face.

Is he really trying to catch her?

As Kanna stared at him, he lifted his trembling lips and smiled.

“Kanna.”

Lorenzo pronounced her name slowly, very slowly.

“Your real name, it’s really pretty. I really wanted to call you at least once. Because I am…”

A teardrop rolled down his cheek.

“But for just yesterday, I was the person who would be your husband.”

After all, he is still a young Prince.

Kanna wanted to go up to him and wipe away his tears. She wanted to pat him on the shoulder and comfort him like she had done for the past three years. She wanted to tease him and tell him not to freak out.

But it didn’t happen.

“Can we meet again someday?”

Sure.

Kanna wanted to say that.

But this time she couldn’t answer and just smiled.

Kanna didn’t want to make a promise she couldn’t keep. She bowed her waist politely and then turned around.

“Kanna. I really liked you.”

Lorenzo’s wet voice was heard from behind, but it did not stop.

She just walked forward silently.

Forward, forward.

It was a road with no place to return to.
