My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

74

"What?"

Kalen, who was training, stopped moving.

"What did you say just now, Alric?"

"Duchess Valentino has requested a meeting."

Has Kanna ever found him first?

She was the one who kicked out, shook off, and kicked Kalen, who always came to visit. But why is she suddenly looking for him?

'Why now?'

He was able to make up his mind at best. Kallen pursed his lips. Recently, he suffered all kinds of ridicule and rejection that he had never experienced before in his life.

It was all given to him by Kanna.

What was his most recent rejection?

"I want you to Ignore me. If I had feelings for you, they would probably be terrible hate. I don't want to waste my emotions hating you."

The moment he returned to his room after being hit with violent words. He felt cold all the way to his toes from the emptiness. He still wasn't sure whether the emotion that struck him at that time was shame, anger, or misery.

'It looks like your relationship with Sylvienne Valentino has improved.'

He also had ears to hear. Sylvien shoots the Prince with an arrow to save Kanna. Also, the fact that she accepted the Emperor's compromise to alleviate her guilt was already so famous that no one knew about it. After chasing him around like that, it seemed like she finally won Sylvien's heart.

'Yes, it went well.'

Meanwhile, Kalen's feelings toward Kanna were half pity and half guilt. He believed so.

So he didn't want to be swayed by those petty feelings anymore.

"What should I tell the Duchess?"

Kallen shook her head in response to the butler's question.

"Tell her not to wait."

"Yes. I understand."

After the butler left, Kalen swung his sword again.

Okay. It's such an easy task, so why did he hesitate for so long?

He won't see her again from now on. He won't even get involved in his sister's affairs. It should have been like this a long time ago. Right away.

Don't wait.

When the butler relayed Kalen's words, Kanna nodded obediently. Maybe she really thought he might be busy.

But since that answer was repeated for three days, Kanna couldn't understand it.

Kalen was avoiding her on purpose.

"No, I'll wait."

Today again, when the answer came back saying 'Don't wait', Kanna sat down on the sofa.

"I will continue to wait here. Tell Kalen that."

"Yes, Ma'am."

She waited, flipping through the book she had prepared in advance. After three hours, raindrops began to fall, pounding on the window.

It was five minutes later that Kallen returned.

"..."

The moment he opened the door and came in, Kalen stopped.

Did it rain during practice? His body was lightly wet.

"What are you doing here?"

"I waited for you."
