The Obsessive Male Lead Is Jealous Of My Doll - Chapter 38
19 — 2
“Having your magic taken away is such a painful and scary memory, and Stella almost went through the same thing. I thought it would be better if you didn’t know.”
“Of course, I should know! Karen saved me.”
Stella’s eyes sparkled as if she saw her as a hero, but Karentina’s feelings were a little complicated. It was because saving the child was also an extension of her actions to survive. Of course, even if she were to go back to that time, she would definitely save her again.
“We didn’t play hide-and-seek properly… It’s Brother’s fault.”
The child pouted and stuck out her lips with a huff. Her appearance was so adorable, like a cute little duckling, that Karentina couldn’t help but laugh.
“We can do it again next time. We’ll play in a bigger space then.”
“Ung!”
She then glanced at the clock on the wall.
“Now it’s time to sleep.”
“I want to sleep with Karen!”
Prompted by her insistence, they went to bed together. Stella, who was lying down in her fluffy pajamas, lifted the blanket up to her neck and opened her mouth with a worried look on her face.
“Um, Karen.”
‘I wonder what our princess is worrying about again, that her cute forehead would furrow?’
“Yes, Stella.”
“It’s about my brother.”
Karentina’s hand paused abruptly at Stella’s words.
“What he did to Karen was really, really bad and mean.”
“….?”
Karentina tilted her head in confusion at the inexplicable words.
“Actually, my brother is a really good person. He’s the most handsome and smartest person in the world. And… what else? Oh, he has a lot of money!”
“Yes?”
“I’m going to tell my brother to ask Karen for forgiveness, so can Karen forgive him too?”
Karentina chuckled softly. It seemed she was worried that she might come to resent Ignis. Stella, who was rolling her eyes with a nervous expression, was so cute that she hugged her tightly.
“Ah. I originally wasn’t going to forgive him, but because of Stella, I’ll have to forgive him.”
“Really? Are you really going to forgive him?”
She gently pressed her finger to Stella’s soft cheek, whose eyes were shining brightly.
“I told you before. From His Highness’s perspective, I must’ve seemed like a suspicious person since he doesn’t know me.”
“It’s just because Brother hasn’t seen Karen. Once he sees her, he’ll definitely recognize her. I don’t have any friends, but among my friends, Karen is the prettiest.”
Karentina barely held back a laugh.
“But Stella is even prettier.”
She said it jokingly, but it wasn’t empty words. As the younger sister of the male lead, Stella was cute and lovely. Perhaps when she grew a little older and debuted as a debutante, she would become the most beautiful woman in this world.
‘Her brother, poor Ignis, will have a hard time protecting Stella.’
Stella, whose face flushed as red as a beet, was so adorable that it melted her heart. Her clear, melodious laughter filled the room, bringing a sense of comfort to Karentina’s heart.

Stella, who had been boasting endlessly about Ignis, quickly fell asleep.
‘It seems she’s very tired from all the snowball fights and hide-and-seek outside.’
Karentina looked at Stella, who had been making somewhat silly rambling before falling asleep.
‘…Why is she telling me how strong Ignis is and that he doesn’t have picky eating habits?’
She found Stella, who was softly snoring, adorable and lightly kissed her marshmallow-like cheek before lying down next to her.
‘Ha…’
Still, she couldn’t sleep at all, so she let out a deep sigh inwardly.
[ Were you really surprised ]
Zion asked in a worried tone.
‘In truth… I was a little scared.’
Karentina trembled, trying to calm her still-pounding heart. Despite the fact that she had reassured Stella, the truth was she had indeed been genuinely surprised. The sight of Ignis looking at him as if he were going to kill her was something she couldn’t forget and kept haunting her.
‘What about Leah?’
Then, she reached out to Leah, who was pricking her ears beside her.
[ I’m okay. I really thought I was going to faint earlier. It seems the Crown Prince is a scary person. ]
Karentina thought to herself as she watched Leah wrap her soft, fluffy around herself.
‘He’s scary but… also pitiful.’
Although things might be different now because it had changed a lot from the original story, in the novel, he was rolled to death.
‘Zion, what about my brother?’
[ He’s still at the campsite near the forest. ]
Karentina tilted her head in puzzlement.
‘Why on earth is the male lead, who should be building a romance storyline with the heroine, here? And why didn’t Ceria come with him?’
As she tried to contemplate the strangely unfolding plot, her eyelids kept getting heavy. Leah burrowed into her arms and folded her pink ears.
[ Have sweet dreams, Karentina. ]
‘Sleep well, Leah. Zion too.’
Karentina quickly fell asleep while listening to the tender voices of the dolls.
