I Grabbed The Leash Of The Blind Beast - Chapter 28

There are quite a few characters in the novel. 

While there are characters who appear in a significant way, even those who do not appear in the novel are included in this world.

But there was a really ironic tragedy, and it was a character who didn’t appear after being described in a few lines.

Yuter’s paradise.

A beautiful garden that symbolizes the true love of the Yuter lovebirds.

Elysia was the fruit of love between Gillian and Mariela, who was called the little fairy of Yuter’s Paradise.

There is no scene in which she appears directly, but there are only two stories about Elysia.

The first scene is mentioned in the early portrayal of Sabiel and Karina’s relationship, where Elysia as a crown princess candidate, who commits suicide after becoming frenziedly obsessed with Sabiel.

In the original novel, when Karina, Sabiel, and Eleon were in a love triangle, Elysia was already dead.

The second scene appeared later in the novel when Karina and Sabiel’s relationship came to an end. And it was confirmed that Karina and Eleon were a couple.

Elysia’s face turned pale.

What the nanny said was shocking.

     Thi..this can’t be.

     I thought I only read the first part of the novel, didn’t I? If not, how did I know about this, that it would have come out a little later? Do I remember it so clearly because it’s something about the person I possessed?

After getting a job, she couldn’t get into the app.

She tried to recall when she had read it, her memory was hazy as if a mist had entered her head.

Her head started hurting when she tried to concentrate.

“Lady Elysia. Are you all right?”

“Yes. I’m..I’m fine.”

Her hands were shaking.

「“She wants to welcome the little fairy born in Yuter’s paradise as my Crown Princess.”」　

The contents of the book came to mind as if a single word from the Crown Prince was a catalyst.

     Is it right to sit in front of a cruel person who made Karina fall in love and threw her out after promising her the position of crown princess?

Elysia was confused.

Sabiel seemed like a gentleman and a wonderful person no matter how much she looked at him.

He was so flawless, at least in his outward appearance.

The etiquette teacher Mrs. Oze, who was chaperoning, was sitting some distance away. She saw Elysia and signaled to her to correct her posture.

But when Elysia was not getting better, Mrs. Oze, who felt she was too nervous, eventually got up and came over.

“Your Highness. With all due respect, it seems that Lady Elysia is not feeling well today.”

“Oh yes. I came all of a sudden.”

“It has not been long since Lady Elysia recovered. My apologies.”

When the chaperone stepped forward and covered up for Elysia, the Crown Prince nodded and put down the teacup he was drinking.

“Next time, I will send a carriage, so I hope we can talk more while we walk through the garden of the Imperial Palace.”

“Thank you so much.”

After Sabiel left, Mrs. Oze was startled to see Elysia.

“Lady, lady Elysia!”

Elysia passed out covered in a cold sweat.

After, leaving the duke’s residence, Sabiel felt the thrill after a long time.

“You really lost your memory. The rumors are true.”

The reason why he suddenly came to the Duke’s residence was to find out if Elysia had really lost her memory.

     Maybe she remembers a little bit?

He painstakingly kidnapped her on the way to Grerosa.

Sabiel seemed to have erased his previous failure upon seeing Elysia, who treated him as if she had never seen him before.

     Isn’t Elysia, who was sitting in front of me as if she was fine?

She neither feared nor despised him.

If she can remember Sabiel and yet turn a blind eye to him, he should praise her excellent acting skills.

After losing the chance to talk with Elysia to Eleon, he ran to the residence of the Duke like a madman.

And he accomplished his purpose.

Elysia really forgot about him and what had happened to her.

He also wondered where she had been hiding during the half-year he had been tracking her.

“It’s fun. It’s really fun.”

He did not know that he would see again the woman who cursed at him and then greeted him politely.

     This time, I am going to tame her properly. So you don’t run away. So that you don’t do anything stupid.

Throbbing

The back of his neck ached, Elysia had stabbed him with a small concealed knife.

Sabiel rubbed his neck.

The pain that had always bothered him, today, that pain pleased him.

* * * * *

On the day of the debutante ball, Mariela was restless inside the carriage that had arrived at the Palace. Gillian, unaware of his wife’s condition, was worried about Elysia.

“You don’t have to overdo it.”

“It’s all right. I’m much better now.”

Elysia smiled at Mariela, but she wasn’t happy.

     As long as you don’t get involved with the crown prince.

Elysia couldn’t figure out why she felt so nervous, frustrated, and uncomfortable.

As if this isn’t everything.

Karina and Eleon have already deviated from the original.

Karina seemed to have become quite close to the Crown Prince, and she had never even met Eleon.

Eleon had never even seen Karina. Eleon’s eyes that should have been healed by Karina, have been healed by Elysia.

     I need to avoid the Crown Prince, so I won’t die miserably.

The tragic death of Elysia is a setup story for Karina to learn the true colors of the Crown Prince and for her to choose Eleon.

Now that the three of them are not in a love triangle, her death may have been unnecessary.

     Then why did that happen to me?

After meeting Sabiel, Elysia was sick for three days with a fever and sweat.

The doctor who came to visit her asked, ‘Have you seen anything terrifying or anything that surprised you?’

The doctor was puzzled when Mrs. Oze explained that she collapsed while she was having tea.

“I think I came here for nothing. The dress is too loose, I can’t believe it. I wish I had more rest.”

“It’s an opportunity given by the Empress. Mother, do not worry too much. I won’t do anything that will bother you.”

Elysia thought that she looked paler because of the white dress.

Those who helped her get ready worked diligently, but there was a limit.

     Would I be compared if I stand next to Karina? That’s good. If Karina was the prettiest, it would be great. Damn prince, you better be nice to Karina.

Come to think of it, maybe their marriage discussion didn’t go well.

She didn’t know why he suddenly visited her and started talking about being his crown princess. Neither the Empress nor the Crown Prince.

     Sabiel you… are you cheating on her?

Elysia unconsciously clenched her fist.

However, she tried to ease the tension of the death flag. It was something she had to get over it.

T/N: death flag · where a person’s death becomes highly probable or unavoidable.

As she entered the large hall, another world opened up.

“Wow.”

Elysia soon forgot the melancholy feelings and admired the hall without realizing it.

Real stones and real gold. Countless candles in a large chandelier lit up brightly.

There seemed to be no shadow anywhere as people stood below them, adorned in glittering jewels and dressed in shimmering silks.

Elysia watched the scene for a moment.

At least there is some joy in this difficult life of possession. After working hard as a maid, she thought that a day like this would finally come.

Soon, the Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince Sabiel appeared one after another.

Long congratulations and tributes followed.

It was said for a long time that today’s ball was being held for some good reason.

But because of the debutante, Elysia only took etiquette and dance classes, so she couldn’t understand anything because she didn’t take any of the Imperial History classes.

Suddenly, Sabiel made eye contact, but Elysia quickly averted her eyes.

Ba-dum Ba-dum

Her heart raced. But it wasn’t because she was excited and expectant.

Elysia felt anxious as if she had seen an enemy stab her heart with a sword.

She felt sweat dripping down her back, but she couldn’t pass out here.

She struggled, then she looked at Gillian and Mariela standing next to her.

Eventually, the Empress called Karina and Elysia to her side.

Exclamations could be heard from here and there as the two beautiful ladies wore striking white dresses and bowed side by side in front of the empress.

“Tonight, I present them for the first time. Elysia, daughter of the Duke of Yuter, and Karina, daughter of Count Harrington.”

Everyone applauded and congratulated the grown-up girls on their belated social debut.

“Then someone must do the first dance…….”

The Empress quickly gave Sabiel a signal with her eyes.

But Sabiel did not notice it.

It was because he was in a staring fight with Karina, who looked at him with resentful eyes as if she was about to eat him.

“I will dance with Lady Yuter.”

Suddenly someone intervened.

“Grand, Grand Duke.”

The Empress made a sound of surprise.

However, the Empress was stunned for an instant when she saw Eleon’s attire.

His dark hair was neatly pulled back to reveal a wide forehead.

The white uniform decorated with gold embroidery made his hair and red eyes stand out even more.

The Empress, who came to her senses, spoke.

“What brings you here, Grand Duke?”

“I can’t be here? Your Majesty the Empress.”

“No, that.. that’s not what I meant.”

“I only came because I received an invitation.”

Eleon’s eyes turned to Elysia.

“I didn’t know there was such a beautiful sight.”

“The first dance was Sabiel……”

Eleon pulled Elysia’s waist toward him before the Empress could finish speaking.

“Let’s go.”

He didn’t come to wait for anyone’s permission.
