My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

35

Kalen didn't move for a while.

It was as if every word she had spoken turned violent and hit him.

After a while, Kalen closed his eyes and rubbed his face with his hands. He asked in a cracked voice.

"Who is he?"

"...What?"

"Who is he, that son of a bitch?"

" The child?"

As Kanna's face crumpled, Kalen pushed harder.

"Why? Are you mad at me for saying that, just that bastard? To a boy who is like your younger brother?"

Her head is pounding. Kanna sighed deeply as she sat down in her chair.

Why is she engaged in this stupid war of attrition?

"Get out!"

It's a waste of emotions and a waste of energy that has no value.

She didn't want to waste anything on Kalen Addis.

"Get out of my lab, Kalen Addis."

"Great."

Kalen didn't try to convince her any further. As if the existence of 'that bastard' lit the fuse, she was rather furious.

"If you want to do that, I'll let you go, Kanna Valentino."

"..."

"I won't care anymore, so now do as you please!"

Bang!

The door closed and the sound of rough footsteps receded.

Kanna sighed as if she had finally been freed.

'...'

Countless thoughts rushed through her head.

Is he really reflecting on the past?

At first, she found him while running away from Orsini.

The alchemy lab was covered with dust. An abandoned room that no one seems to have used for a long time.

But why did he come here often?

Kanna wants to disappear. While she's here, it feels like she's in another world.

'Repentance?'

Numerous vials of medicine lined up on the table. She started at the bottle containing the reddest drug with dark eyes.

The drug she made one day at the age of 14...

It was a drug made to kill.

She'd rather die. Because she hoped for a painless death, he made a drug that slowly stopped her heart, like falling into sleep.

Although he failed to see the proper effect and died, it was a miserable life for 14 year old to make poison herself.

Who contributed to it? It is the Addis family.

But now you're reflecting?

' It's okay.'

The next moment, Kanna raised her head.

That's it. It's just that she is weak and she is shaking until here.

' I can't afford to be like this. Let's do what I have to do.'

" I met the Duke's wife."

Sylvien didn't raise his head. Even the tilt of the fountain pen in his hand was not disturbed.
