Chapter 148
Truthfully, the doll's appearance was even more eye-catching than the princess herself.
From its clothes to its skin and its hair... if not for its short limbs, it could be mistaken for a person.
Most people probably called it a bisque doll or a ball-jointed doll.
Do people actually find that cute?
I didn’t mean to mock anyone’s tastes, but... how should I put it? It looked like something that would be left behind in some eerie, abandoned building.
The materials of its clothes and accessories were high quality, but that wasn’t nearly enough to make me want to take it home.
In terms of craftsmanship and overall quality, the Leone and Lord of Blood and Iron puppets made by the headmaster had been far more complete. Even so, the princess’s doll, due to its uncanny resemblance to humans, was far more unsettling. Most disturbing of all were its eyes, where the whites and pupils were reversed.
If only I could just... pluck them out...
...Even ignoring the doll, I found the princess’ personality a bit overwhelming, so I was hoping she’d just leave. Maybe she’d even take Sellen with her?
