Chapter : 12
This time, I’ll change the male lead.
“He even used magic.”
I was dumbfounded and let out a bitter laugh.
Not only did he choose a time when I was alone to kidnap me, but he also used magic.
Am I going to die suddenly like Kaela did in the original story after all?
“You need to be careful. Unless you were born with divinity, you can’t endure this much magic.”
“What nonsense is that?”
The man muttered irritably.
“In the Empire, the only ones born with divinity are the crown prince and the saint.”
“That may be true, but…”
“How long until consciousness fully returns?”
“At this state, I think full recovery should happen within twenty minutes.”
At those words, the masked man seemed to hesitate, then shook his hand.
“Get out. Don’t let anyone in until I give orders.”
“Yes, understood.”
Wait, whose voice was that… again?
I tried to wake my increasingly dazed mind.
“Ha, I’m really going through all kinds of trouble.”
Just as the door seemed to close again, a soft sigh was heard.
The masked man was slowly approaching me. I desperately grabbed the blunt object within reach.
“You’ll be fine after a short nap.”
Luckily, it seemed my senses were returning. I could feel the cold touch on my skin.
“If you had just talked to me earlier, none of this would have happened.”
“Who… are you…”
“What did you say?”
“You… are…”
“What?”
I deliberately mumbled more, and the man leaned closer, putting his ear near me.
“Ugh!”
When the distance was completely closed, I mustered my last bit of strength and struck his shoulder downward.
“Damn it…”
He barely avoided my hand, but the impact made the mask he was wearing fall off.
“Crazy…”
Finally seeing his face, I had to grit my teeth at the sight.
“Ella.”
It was none other than Karl.
