My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

24

The sound of shoe heels echoed in the wide hall.

Until the sound stooped in front of him, Kalen couldn't move. He couldn't even take his eye off the woman he was getting close to.

"Kalen?"

Only then did Kalen realize that she was Kanna and opened his mouth.

Sister... He tries to pronounce it like that, but instinctively remembered that she hated it if he did.

"Kanna?"

"Huh."

Kanna nodded and held out her hand. Immaculate hands in white lace gloves. Kalen'e eyes slowly descended to her fingertips.

"Escort me."

Orders coming down. For some reason, Kalen had a sore throat and swallowed his saliva. He groaned loudly. Kalen clenched his fist once, then rose from his seat and cupped Kanna fingertips.

"Yes."

The moment he stood next to her, a faint scent filled his nose. The scent. The surprisingly seductive scent made Kalen involuntarily take a deep breath.

"How is it?"

"Yes?"

"My scent."

What a smell. The word didn't suit this scent, so Kalen changed it at will.

"It smells good."

Then he smiled like a flower in full bloom.

"Thank God. It also feels good to the people around me."

It was meaningless, but he didn't understand it. Kalen just said she was right. He agreed.

"What?"

The 2nd Princess of the Aslan Empire, Lilienne, doubted her ears.

"Young Lady, what did you just say?"

"Kanna sister will come today, Your Highness."

"..."

"Kalen brother will personally escort her. I hope they will arrive soon."

"Kanna Valentino is coming to the banquet?"

"Yes. It's really good, isn't it? You've been curious about my sister for a long time."

"Yes, I am."

Lilienne nodded obediently.

Kanna, the woman Sylvienne Valentino used to reject her. She had never seen Kanna before. Apparently, Kanna's participation in the party so far can be counted on one hand.

'And she always hide in the garden or somewhere.

The corners of the Princess's mouth went up crookedly.

Kanna Valentino.

A woman running away from the people's gaze. A girl who doesn't like to party. A woman who hides in a corner for fear that someone will see her and look at her with contempt.

'Sometimes humble.'

Perhaps that is why there were few nobles who witnessed Kanna.

'Besides, Duke Valentino didn't even have a proper wedding, so I didn't have a chance to see her.'

Even the wedding was omitted because it was a terriby formal relationship. Everyone knew that they were a couple like paper dolls.

'Almost always at home. No, I heard that she stays in her room.'
