I Grabbed The Leash Of The Blind Beast

Chapter 8

Rona hurriedly fixed her clothes and glanced at Eleon.

He made her nervous without realizing it, because he is sensitive to the presence of people, and she sometimes thought he could see.

You didnt see it, right?

Eleon looked drowsy as if he was going to sleep again soon. He couldnt sleep because of her.

He said.

Good night.

Rona sneaked back into her room.

What is that book?

Is it Palegara History War?

If it had been published in Korea, it would have saved many people who suffered from insomnia.

I have to be careful next time.

Next? Next time.

Rona pondered why those words sounded so awkward.

Oh, I see.

Eleons eyes would heal sooner or later, either today or tomorrow.

There were only two days left where someone else would help him read a book.

Umm. What really happened to Karina.

She grabbed an extra pillow and lay down on her bed.

Perhaps because she had been hugging Leons warm body a while ago, the coolness of her pillow, which she slept with every day, felt unfamiliar.

Karina, if you sleep with Eleon just once, you would know.

Its just how good a body pillow he is.

She really fell asleep without waking up or tossing around.

It was a fascinating experience for Rona, who could hardly sleep when there was someone next to her.

She yawned loudly.

I should sleep more.

The second round was more cozy and sweet.

At that time, Eleon was still unable to sleep.

Perhaps due to the butlers rude remarks, he had a strange dream in which he kissed Rona.

After waking up from the dream, Rona from real life was even more problematic.

Your sleeping habits are really bad.

Ronas bare shoulders touched my arms.

Its the color of chocolate.

Eleon repeated it shyly.

If your cheeks are blushing, it must mean that you are shy, or are you a little conscious of yourself?

If nothing had happened, there would have been no need to blush.

Phew.

Eleon was overcome by the urge to see her.

Ironically, that was the only reason he wanted to regain his sight, although he was known as the war god who commanded within the borders of the empire.

I wonder if the girl I like is shy of me.

I wanted to see her nervous expression.

I just want to see it with my own eyes without asking you.

Even if the dream felt vivid, he was just a blind man.

So he didnt have the confidence to see her.

Eleon somehow felt miserable.

The day he lost his sight, Eleon was riding a horse and battling the barbarians at the front line.

The head of the Barbarian King had already fallen from his sword.

Now he has to run wildly after the retreating barbarians.

Eleon swung his sword, avoiding the subtle sound that cut through the air.

He was a great knight who could stop even flying arrows by swinging his sword.

However . Grasp.

Red dust was released into the air as his sword hit an oxidized arrow.

The air felt awfully uncomfortable and it was clearly due to the red dust.

At that moment, he stopped breathing.

Its poison! Everyone be careful!

The soldiers around him avoided it in a flash.

Eleon covered his nose and mouth, but his eyes sting a little.

He later realized that he should have covered his eyes, not just his nose and mouth.

However, it was too late.

His horse was the first to lose sight that had been running by his side for 7 years.

Hee, hee, hee, hee.

Hee, hee, hee, hee.

The warhorse never stopped running even after being wounded with arrows and swords, but he suddenly made a painful cry and ran around.

Eleons right hand, Cedric, rushed to the horse and tried to calm him.

The enraged horse collapsed and foam came out of his mouth.

Your highness! Grand Duke!

Thunderstorms began to fall from the dark sky.

KURUNG.

The blood-stained ground began to wet under the angry sky.

Cedric looked at him in shock.

Eleons face turned pale, and soon it disappeared into the darkness.

Your Majesty, Grand Duke!

That was the last memory Eleon had seen with his own eyes.

He should have returned as a successful general from the war which lasted 7 years.

But he returned as a retired blind knight.

He did not return to the Clevent Estate, but instead came to the capital mansion to seek treatment.

But no one knew about this poison.

The emperor, concerned about his nephew, had searched through the barbarians elixirs.

However, there was no clue anywhere.

At first, the Emperor thought he would be fine.

All kinds of things that are good for the eyes and the body have been brought to the Grand Dukes residence.

None of them could bring back his sight.

Then all kinds of people came in and out.

They were Gypsies or elders of ethnic minorities who wandered the empire. Neither the doctors nor the people who dealt with drugs.

So he desperately gave himself up to all kinds of folk remedies.

After trying everything he could, he sought God.

Religious people came and prayed to their gods to heal his eyes.

But no god answered.

They all gave the same excuse, saying that it was because Eleon had no faith and wasnt sincere enough.

The possibility of gaining back his sight seemed to be non-existent as of now.

Cedric left in agony for not being able to protect his master.

Eleon couldnt catch him as he set off to the East in search of medicine.

Isnt it all my fault that I lost my sight? But it wasnt my fault.

Swords and arrows flew countless times on the battlefield.

And no matter how much I thought about it, even if I could go back a hundred thousand times, there was no way I could close my eyes.

Keeping an eye on enemies was the basis of the defense.

I had been training for so long, so my body sometimes moved on its own.

That agility saved his life in countless moments, but he couldnt even protect his eyes.

When all hope was gone, Eleon thought it would have been better to die.

But he couldnt die.

The first reason was Bernard tying him up to the bed so that he could not die.

And the second was because he felt sorry for Cedric, who had left to find medicine.

Bernard released him when he stopped hurting himself.

But he couldnt live like he used to.

Eleon had fallen to the lowest of his life to a subhuman level.

Rumors spread in the capital that the Grand Duke lost his sight and howled like a beast every night.

Rumors followed that he became mad by killing too many people on the battlefield even after he received praises.

When the war was over and peace was guaranteed, those who were jealous of him became proud and demeaned him.

Even those times seemed far away like a dream.

But Rona healed from all the hard times he had gone through.

If she stays by his side, Eleon thinks hell be able to keep going.

There are many couples without love.

Even if hes blind, he could respect and love her.

Also, hes the Grand Duke.

He would be able to live without worrying about money for the rest of his life.

Its not the time yet.

I didnt want to propose to her under such conditions.

Cant you give me a little bit of your heart?

That was Eleons pride, wanting to be seen as a man.

So he couldnt ask her to stay by his side to enjoy the fortune as his Grand Duchess.

I shouldnt rush.

Eleon blamed himself for being impatient.

* * * * *

Around lunchtime, the butler called Rona.

The Grand Duke is still not awake.

Really?

I went to greet him, but I heard that he hasnt slept all night.

Yes. Ive read some books to him until dawn.

However, I was the only one who slept soundly.

You skipped breakfast and lunch, and seeing you slept so far, I wonder if you will wake up in the afternoon. If you have something to do outside, you can go for a while.

Really?

Her eyes sparkled.

Come to think of it, you havent been paying attention to your clothes.

The delicate butler seems to have paid attention to what Rona said yesterday, that she was going to get some clothes.

It was the first time Rona had gone out after she came to work in the Grand Dukes manor.

Then Ill be right back.

Yes. And be sure to come back until the Grand Duke has dinner.

Yes.

Rona quickly got ready to go out and headed to Count Harringtons residence.

She was thinking of meeting Karina today at any cost.

* * * * *

Rona got off the carriage.

It was the same place she had been yesterday, so it felt a bit familiar.

Hello. Im here to see Lady Karina.

The guard recognized her and immediately called the butler.

Hello.

The old butler greeted her with a gentle smile.

Is Lady Karina in the residence today by any chance?

Yes. Shes busy getting ready to go out.

Rona asked quickly.

Then can I see her for just a moment?

Lets see.

As the old butler disappeared, Rona sighed briefly in frustration.

I cant believe shes going out.

Karina had no friends in the capital, because she grew up in a rural village.

So she should have made a special bond with Eleon.

Instead, she caught the attention of the Crown Prince and went in and out of the Imperial Palace every day.

Furthermore, if its the Crown Prince in this original story .

Isnt the Crown Prince the villain?

I carefully read the first part of the novel .

In the original story, it was quite early when Karina healed Eleons eyes.

After that, it seems that the Crown Prince might be a wicked man.

But I couldnt even remember how many episodes I had read, and I also stopped reading it.

So I tried to recall the contents.

Why does it have to be the Crown Prince? What happened to the original novel?

Rona frowned as she remembered the image of the wicked man.

Even in the original novel, it seems that the Crown Prince and Eleon became rivals.

That was certain because the cover had both the male lead and the second male lead.

There must be something about the cover that emphasizes that its a love triangle.

In the original novel, Sabiel had a one-sided crush on Karina, but the heroine didnt respond to it.

Its a real problem because I didnt read the end.

Its a different story if Countess Harrington is willing to chaperone and support her.

Count Harrington also belongs to a prestigious family very well-known in the capital.

He refused to blink an eye even if he adopted a child from a distant relative.

Because Count Harrington had several mines that produced iron.

He had amassed many negotiations as an arms dealer during the war. Said he might have had more money than the imperial family.

Abundance makes peoples minds at ease.

The Countess clearly was at the pinnacle of her wealth.

Then the old butler who had gone to find Karina returned.

Follow me.

Rona followed him to the main building.

KNOCK, KNOCK.

The butler knocked on the door of the drawing-room, decorated in a luxurious way that was incomparable to the place she had seen yesterday.

Karina opened the door without hesitation.

Come in.

My Lady, you must not do this.

The old butler was serious. However, Karina smiled brightly.

Why? I also have hands and feet too.

And please feel free to talk to the servants.

Karina looked embarrassed.

Everyone in the countryside is like this. I use honorifics to adults and I take care of people younger than me. Im more comfortable with this.

As the old butler sighed knowing he couldnt stop her, Karinas curious green eyes turned to Rona.

What brings you here?

Rona took a short deep breath when she saw the heroine for the first time.
