Chapter 11

Unlike Lucy, Kanna had no one.

So in her childhood, whenever she was sick, she would keep her mouth shut.

If I had complained about my pain, i can’t even say that my family wouldn’t have hated me even more.

One day I couldn’t hide my cold and coughed badly.

Did Kalen react back then?

No.

Kick!

The sound of a young Kalen kicking was still vivid.

Looking at her with contempt in his eyes.

“Don’t come close to me.”

“Please don’t stand out.”

“Nobody wants to see you sister. So don’t come out of your room.”

Kalen’s voice was cold.

Memories that i had forgotten for a long time, now came to me clearly as if it were all a lie.

In an instant Kannas face cooled down. The snow, as I read the book, sank deeply.

Okay. I did.

I’m pretending to be gentle now.

The young man in front of her was someone who treated her like trash in the past.

‘What unpleasant memories.’

But a memory is just a memory.

Refraining from getting sucked into those useless feelings, Kanna stopped reminiscing and focused on the book she was reading.

Fortunately after that, Kalen didn’t say anything.

After a long time…

“All done!”

Fortunately all the medicinal herbs I needed were in the bok.

Kanna wrote down a list of the names of the herbs and handed it to Kalen.

“Get me this.”

After checking the list, Kalen frowned.

Somewhere already known to be effective medicinal herbs of the east continent but some were unknown to him.

“You mean to say you really help cure Lucy with these?”

“Can you get all of it? Is there a possibility that some of these have not yet been imported from the eastern continent?”

“There will be no issues.”

Yes, of course there would be no problems, but I was just asking.

What is there that the Addis family could not find in this world?

Kanna stiffened her shoulders and said…

“When everything is ready, tell me. In the meantime, I will be down in the lab. Are my room and lab still there?

“Yes.”

“….”

What?

What did Kalen say just now?

Kanna lifted her head.

As if answering her question, Kalen said again…

“It is.”

Kanna was startled.

Actually, i asked without expecting much, but it was the same?

When i heard that i was blocked from entering, i had expected that all traces of my existence to be erased from here.

“Father had locked it so that no one could enter, so here. Take the key.”

*****

Kanna fist headed to the bedroom.

‘Wow.’

It seems that some time has passed.

The bed and table piled up with books scattered around covered in dust, the sofa roughly spilled

“It is the same way as Ju-hwa had left it on her last day here.”

The day she left, to marry Silvien.

At that time, it was all left as it was.

I thought that my father would have thrown everything out when I left.

‘Why did you leave it as it was?’

It was almost like a person who wants to preserve the memory of the owner of the room.

Or someone waiting for them to come back…

‘Nonsense.’

Kanna laughed boldly.

My father wants to remember me or is awaiting my return.

The thought itself was so ridiculous.

‘It can be.’

There must be some misunderstanding.

My father wouldn’t deliberately keep traces of me.

After brushing off my unseemly impressions, I headed down to the basement where my lab was located.

‘It’s the same here too.’

Kanna’s eyes swept the room with thrill.

Before possessing Ju-hwa’s body, she had spent most of her time down here.

Alchemy.

Because alchemy was all she had.

The only good thing about coming back to the body is that I can do alchemy again!

‘Alchemy requires a mana stone, but that doesn’t exist in Korea.’

Kanna was thrilled as she slowly walked around the room.

I swiped through the thick books piled up on my desk with my fingertips.

They were books with worn out pages.

The books themselves were older than her, but it was alive and always by her side when she was a child.

Perhaps that is why Kanna felt like these alchemy books were her friends.

No, they were her friends.

Alchemy was the only thing that she had for herself.

‘A long time…”

With so much joy.

While i was reminiscing

I heard footsteps.

The sound of footsteps walking down the basement stairs and down the hall.

A feeling i had told me it wasn’t a maid servant or even Kalen.

At the same time the door bursts opened.

“Hey, filth.”

A familiar voice.

That familiar insult.

The moment I heard it, a small sigh came out.

The joy of reuniting with alchemy had disappeared like smoke.

After all, I heard that there was no way to go beyond the ominous feeling.

‘Yes, of course I knew that we would meet. After all, this is his house.’

I expected this. Like this…i did think we would meet soon.

Kanna slowly turned her back.

her gaze met the eyes of the man that was staring at her.

“Yes. You’re really here.”

He had sharp looks that resembled Kalen’s, but he held a thinker and more sexual male expression.

His overbearing physique, and his silvery red hair that was scattered over his face like a lion’s mane. Green eyes that were similar to those of a predator.

Memories flooded with those violent gazes.

“This filthy bitch,I’d rather sleep! It’s too early to see you.”

“Where are you running? You have more to do.”

Afterwards, names that have been blown down like arrows towards her came to mind.

Everything, even the hands that struck her with no reason.

I remembered everything.

‘Orsini’

Orsini Addis.

Cruel to my childhood self.

My younger brother who made me have a hard time.

“I wasn’t sure because it seemed you crawled back to this place with your own two feet.”

One step. One step.

A man who had grown up with a much more overwhelming physique than I remembered long ago, was threatening.

“Older sister really came back.”

Kanna’s legs wouldn’t move, as if rooted down into the floor.

No, she couldn’t move.

It seemed like her whole body had been tightly chained.

My hands twitched when I thought of the violence, name calling, and abuse Orsini had put me through in the past.

Too much, Too much…

Anger.

‘The way he trampled all over me.’

Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me again and again.

How painful it was.

It was miserable.

Kanna moved her trembling lips into a smile.

She couldn’t help but laugh.

Here I was, reuniting with someone who had terribly harassed me in the past.

“It’s good to see you.”

“…..What?”

The expression on Orsini’s face faded.

Kanna smiled deeply as he tried to take in each of her features.

Thrilled till the end of it.

I like it.

I like it very much.

“Thank you very much.”

Good thing Kanna came back again.

“I missed you so much.”

I loved meeting you.

“Really.”

I made sure to make a pledge to heaven so i could meet you again.

*****

Orsini Addis came back home earlier than the rest of his family.

The banquet that lasted for far too long seemed rather boring.

By the way…

“What? Kanna Addis….no, Kanna Valentino is back.”+

When i heard the news, i suddenly awakened a feeling.
