The Obsessive Male Lead Is Jealous Of My Doll - Chapter 32

16 — 2

It was because Enormous, thick suction cups were stuck to the glass windows while massive unidentified tentacles engulfed the pirate ship.

Kiiiik, thud. Kiiiik, thud.

With loud explosion sounds, a haze of white dust erupted from the ship.

‘I have to escape.’

Oswell, who fled the captain’s quarters, was horrified to see dozens of tentacles crawling across the ship’s floor. A suffocating fear overwhelmed him to the point where even breathing became difficult.

At that moment, the pirates, with pale faces, gathered around him.

“Captain! It’s a Kraken!”

“What? D*mn it.”

A Kraken.

It was a time when the pirates were at a loss and didn’t know what to do.

“Look, over there! I can see an island!”

As everyone looked in the direction pointed by a pirate, a remote island came into view not far away.

“Escape now!”

“What about the slaves?”

Oswell ruffled his hair roughly in response to one pirate’s urgent question.

“D*mn it. We abandon the slaves. We’ll all be dead otherwise!”

With those words, he leaped straight into the sea, and the pirates also followed him. Oswell, who had swum to an island not far away, cursed under his breath as he gasped.

“D*mn it!”

It was then.

Kurrrrrrr, kwang!

With the sound of the ground shaking, the pirate ship split in two and disappeared into the depths of the sea along with the Kraken.

Oswell, who was watching the slowly sinking ship, watched the scene with a miserable expression. Not only the numerous drugs, jewels, and magic stones that had been looted before coming to the North but even the slave children that Duke Horton had ordered were now lost. Still, he breathed a sigh of relief, grateful to have survived.

He suddenly remembered the communication magic tool in his pocket.

‘I can survive!’

Just as he was about to press the button and speak hastily—

“Master…!”

—The pirates, including Oswell, froze in their tracks when they heard a beautiful song coming from somewhere.

As his eyes gradually blurred and lost focus, he dropped the magic tool. They began to walk slowly in its direction, captivated by the singing.

The place the pirates had reached was the sea of magic, a realm of sea monsters where, once you entered, you could never leave.

The song of the siren, with their prey right before them, resonated beautifully.

[ Isn’t it gold if we succeed? ]

Zion asked in a puzzled voice.

‘No, you have to press black for this magic tool.’

This was because there was a scene in the original story where the Imperial Consort laughed upon seeing the black light of the magic tool.

「 Ahahahaha. Black! It seems Timothia handled things very well. I couldn’t be pleased, Father. 」

She could almost hear the Imperial Consort’s grisly laughter in her ears.

Karentina gritted her teeth.

If she had pressed the gold color, the magic tool would’ve been destroyed automatically, alerting Imperial Consort Christina to the danger. So, choosing the correct answer was the right decision.

“Zion, send this letter to my uncle. He’s probably trembling while waiting to hear from the butler.”

Using Zion’s abilities, she forged the butler’s handwriting on the letter. The letter, falsely stating that raising funds would be difficult for the time being since the mining in the magic stone mine would be difficult due to the invasion of sea monsters, along with reassurances that everything had proceeded smoothly, was sent to her uncle.

Not only did she cut off the funds going to his uncle in advance, but she also transferred all the Duchy’s money, which he had been spending in her name, to a new account, leaving only a small portion behind.

He decided to leave it for future enjoyment to see what kind of expression he would make when he traveled to the capital.

‘Go ahead and starve yourself.’

Peace has returned to the Duchy with the trash villains being dealt with. The whole world was colored white by the heavy snowfall.

“Wow!”

Stella exclaimed, mesmerized by the snowfall.

“Isn’t it amazing?”

“Ung! It’s my first time seeing the world so white like this. It feels like it’s covered under a soft, white blanket with sparkling sugar dust floating in the air. It’s so, so beautiful.”

How could she express it so beautifully?

Karentina, who was looking at the lovely Stella with a motherly smile, turned her gaze towards the window.

It had been a week since she returned from the forest after rescuing Damion and Ignis.

[ Your brother is alive and well. ]

Karentina was relieved to hear Zion’s occasional reports on Damion’s condition.

No one in the forest had died. Ignis would be able to complete the subjugation of the demonic beasts successfully and would rightfully ascend to the imperial throne.

‘Joseph said that the subjugation of the demonic beasts would be completed within three months at the shortest or half a year at the longest…’

Until the subjugation returned, her duty was to protect Stella and guard the castle.

It was fortunate to have a castle as safe as the fortress.

‘I wonder if Ignis and Ceria are steadily building their romance.’

Although she regretted not being able to witness that fun with her own eyes, she was happy every day thanks to this cute and soft thing. Karentina knelt down so she was at eye level with Stella, who was stuck to the window like a magnet.
