The Obsessive Male Lead Is Jealous Of My Doll - Chapter 26
13 — 2
“What’s with that milk pan anyway? Where did it suddenly come from?”
“I was practicing making you delicious milk tea… and in my haste, I accidentally summoned it.”
Placing Leah down on Ignis, Karentina tried to steady her dizzy mind.
It shouldn’t be a serious injury.
“Leah, could you please treat him?”
[ Don’t worry. ]
Leia poured divine power into Ignis’s body.
“Did Ignis see my face earlier?”
[ This poison clouds his vision, so he probably only saw your silhouette. ]
Karentina breathed a sigh of relief.
‘I was so startled when my robe suddenly came off. I hope I didn’t trigger some weird flag…’
Although her anxious mind sent shivers down her spine, she shook her head repeatedly, reassuring herself it couldn’t be the case.
‘It will be resolved when he meets Ceria. Everything will be fine.’
[ It’s done! ]
Karentina slowly stood up and surveyed her surroundings. She felt proud that, unlike in the original story, she had managed to rescue everyone here safely.
“Thanks to Leah, we were able to save everyone. Thank you.”
[ If Karentina hadn’t known what happened in the future, they would all have died. I just used divine energy. ]
There was no strength in Leia’s voice as her shoulders slumped. She recalled Leah’s surprise when she had revealed that she knew to some extent the knowledge of future events.
「 This is God’s arrangement for you, Karentina! 」
She couldn’t say that Karentina had used forbidden magic before she possessed this body, so she smiled faintly.
“If I were alone, I wouldn’t have been able to save everyone, and it would have taken a long time to find a way. Thank you so much.”
She gently stroked Leah’s soft fur and embraced her tightly. Perhaps feeling better, Leah’s pink ears perked up on both sides.
As the black fog lightened, the moonlight that had been obscured illuminated the forest. Karentina, who momentarily postponed her return to the castle, decided to hide behind a tree and watch the moment the novel began.
‘Ignis used the power of fire, so Ceria and the other knights will be here soon, right?’
Her heart was pounding with excitement.
Sure enough. Not long after, Ceria, accompanied by her knights, hurried to Ignis’s side.
‘Oh my goodness! I can’t believe I get to see scenes from a novel with my own eyes.’
She chuckled with satisfaction, thinking that now that the novel had begun, as long as their narrative unfolded smoothly, everything would be perfect. Seeing her like this, Zion spoke in a voice that sounded somewhat fed up.
[ Master, your face looks really strange. ]
‘What’s wrong with my face?’
[ You look like a villain scheming something evil. ]
Zion closed his mouth tightly when she glared at him. As she watched Ceria rescuing the fallen people with a motherly heart, Karentina eventually gestured to him.
‘Let’s go back to the castle now.’
As he waved his hand, the background changed back to her dressing room.
“Huk…”
It felt like her head was spinning, and all the strength was draining from her body.
“Karen, you can’t make large wishes now because you don’t have much magic anymore. It’s dangerous if we don’t find your magic power.”
Zion’s voice, who knew her condition better than anyone else, was filled with concern. Leah’s eyes drooped as she cried.
[ Karentina… ]
“Thank you for your concern. There won’t be any need to use magic for difficult wishes for a while. And Zion, could you please keep an eye on my brother’s condition?”
“I told you that you don’t have to make a wish for that much.”
“Thank you so much. Leah, don’t worry too much. Once the subjugation is successfully completed, I’ll go to the capital with my brother, where my magic stones are.”
Unlike ordinary magic stones, a magic power stone had infinite energy. Even if someone’s magic was taken away, the original owner could reclaim it. Half of the magic power stones were in the hands of Imperial Consort Christina, while the other half was held by Maurice. No matter how much the greedy uncle swore allegiance to the Imperial Consort, he wouldn’t hand over all the magic power stones. After all, magic stones could be excellent tools for profitable deals.
[ T/N: The author used ‘마력석은’ and ‘마석과,’ which one means normal magic stones while another means stones that have absorbed a person’s magic power—e.g., Karentina case. ]
‘I need to get it back.’
She vowed never to forgive them for making Karentina so unhappy.
Before she could sigh, she heard the door open. As Karentina hurriedly came out of her dressing room, someone lunged at her body.
‘Stella?’
Stella, with tears streaming down her face, fell into her arms.
“Karen… I thought Karen was gone!”
“I’m sorry, Your Highness. I had to go somewhere for a moment… Were you very surprised?”
While Stella was still crying, Gemma stood behind her with an embarrassed expression.
“She usually sleeps deeply… I think Her Highness was very surprised because Young Lady Karentina wasn’t with her.”
Seeing Gemma let out a small sigh with a worried look on her face, Karentina’s heart sank as she realized how much Stella had grown attached to her during this time.
“Your Highness, thank you for your concern.”
All of a sudden, Stella tilted her head as if puzzled.
“Huh? Karen’s clothes smell burnt. My brother often had this smell, too. Now that I think about it, Karen’s hair color…”
“Ah!”
