I Grabbed The Leash Of The Blind Beast - Chapter 45

“Can’t I call you Elysia for a moment?”

Elysia stiffened.

The next moment, the back of her neck stiffened and her blood pressure increased.

“I beg your pardon? Didn’t I tell you not to do this?”

She was fine when he asked her to do this or that. However, the problem was that he kept trying to hug her like a carnivorous plant.

“Didn’t you agree to fulfill my request from the beginning?”

While calmly pushing Eleon away, he said dissatisfiedly.

“Rona is also unreasonable.”

“What do you mean?”

“Rona is unreasonable.”

Seeing Eleon grimly writing unrecognizable characters on the bathtub floor with his index finger, Elysia lifted him.

“I’ll dry your hair. Go to bed early.”

Eleon, who seemed to have become an inert mollusk, clung to her again.

“Let’s sleep together.”

“…….”

Elysia sighed.

“Sir Eleon, do you want me to be taken back to the duke’s residence?”

“No.”

“Then why are you not helping me?”

“What do you mean I didn’t help? I’m hiding you in my house.”

That’s not the case, but a servant from the duke’s residence came looking for Elysia, but he just sent him back empty-handed.

“The remaining servants in this house are the best. Do you want me to fire them and hire new ones?”

It would be a big problem if someone saw us like this.

“Rona.”

As Eleon’s attitude changed to serious, Elysia’s shoulders began to lose strength.

“Yes. Please, speak.”

“Would you like to go to my estate?”

Why go there all of a sudden?

Elysia only blinked at the problem of not being able to understand his intentions.

“Clevent Estate? Why go there all of a sudden?”

“The chef over there makes good bread.”

Elysia suddenly felt herself aging.

Do you want to eat ramen? Was it that?

Eleon lowered his voice, stroking her hair determinedly.

“There’s even a cat in the castle, in my room. Don’t you want to see it?”

“If it’s a cat, I have one too.”

Huh? Cat?

Elysia was taken aback by the sudden words.

What cat am I talking about if I don’t have one!

I’ve never seen a cat since I got here. After having a pointless fight with Eleon, I was speechless and it was a problem. But I couldn’t lose here.

“Hurry up and sit down. Or you’ll catch a cold.”

“Ah! Ahh! It hurts. Be gentle. The service is a mess.”

“You didn’t hire me without knowing it.”

Elysia then relaxed her hands and dried Eleon’s hair with a towel more carefully than before.

“Rona. I hate not having you by my side when I wake up.”

Eleon grabbed her hands.

His gray eyes looked directly at her as if he could see right through her.

“Stay with me.”

Elysia has a soft spot for him.

And he might never know.

Because I turned down his marriage proposal, he thinks he likes me more.

But actually, Elysia had liked him better for a long time.

She liked him long before he knew he existed.

A long time ago? When was that?

From the first time, I read .

After convincing myself, another thought followed.

Is there any way to heal Eleon again?

Does the flower really bloom once every 10 years?

Will there be another flower blooming tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, or at the end of this week?

It would be nice if I could read the novel.

Then a large, thick book came to mind.

What memory is this?

Won Yun-ji Won reading in her mobile phone app.

So it doesn’t make sense to think it was a book, but from some point on, I thought it was a book that existed.

There can be no such thing.

Even if there is, it’s a story that the two of them venture together after Karina heals his blindness and goes to the end of the scene where Eleon takes the throne. But there was no way to deal with the second blindness.

“Sigh.”

She sighed without realizing it.

“Are you uncomfortable?”

“Not at all.”

“Shall we go for a walk?”

“Now?”

Eleon nodded.

“Someone could spy on the mansion during the day. For the time being, I can only go for a walk at night.”

Elysia had questions.

“I’ll be right back after getting ready.”

To be honest, I should wash my hair before going for a walk.

I also wanted to check the spot where the grass that healed his eyes had grown.

Eleon was so stubborn that she couldn’t even take a step outside the mansion for two days.

* * * * *

The Duke of Yuter has forgotten it was night.

Even after the sun had set and the moon had risen, the entire area around the dukedom was brilliantly illuminated.

“Wah wah… Elysia.”

Gillian was at a loss as he watched his sobbing wife in bed.

“She will be back soon. Where would our child go? She has no memory.”

Mariela was furious at her husband’s consolation.

“She lost her memory, but she’s been living for over half a year doing chores at someone else’s house. I thought she couldn’t do anything because she grew up beautifully in Hadunsha.”

Gillian realized that anything he said would only increase his wife’s anger.

“Rest a bit. I will keep looking for Elysia.”

Even after Gillian left, Mariela cried and beat her chest.

“I should have told you the truth.”

It was still too early to tell Elysia everything.

But she didn’t know that she would run away.

“I thought you were just trying to be obedient.”

After refusing to marry Eleon, Elysia became quiet.

She seemed more unmotivated. She was silently doing what Mariela had asked her to do.

She realized that it was a mistake and regretted it only after Elysia disappeared without leaving a letter or a note.

Elysia said she was fine, but she wasn’t.

She couldn’t understand or comprehend, but she was only momentarily frightened by the force of the ominous black flame.

It was as if they were laughing at how much Mariela had worked so hard to save Elysia.

Mariela’s efforts were in vain. She didn’t know what to do.

Having to find Elysia was also a problem, but it was a bigger problem as to what to do from now on.

As time passes, Sabiel will become more obsessed.

She hoped the Crown Prince would forget about Elysia. She knows that Empress Seraphina isn’t going to give up on her, but she wants him to forget about her daughter locked up in the temple. Rumors say he likes to play and is interested in women and entertainment.

But when Mariela heard Sabiel sitting at her tea table in her own garden, she felt her blood pressure rise.

She wondered if she had to meet her enemy in such a place.

On a single wooden bridge, or at a dead end.

It was the law of nature that only one of the two could survive.

It was when Mariela was engulfed in ephemeral regret.

Woosh

A gentle breeze blew out the candles in the bedroom.

Slide

A black shadow rose vertically from the shadows.

“How have you been?”

“…… Sonatek.”

Mariela trembled at the sight of the man in the white mask who greeted her politely.

“How dare you come here!”

“Is there a place in the world I can’t go to?”

Sonatek came up to her.

“What do you think? How do you feel about the start?”

“How about what?”

“Isn’t this the moment you’ve been waiting for?”

A mockery that could not be hidden even over the white mask.

“You dear daughter. Weren’t you struggling to protect her?”

“You’re a madman.”

When Mariela cursed at him, Sonatek just laughed at her.

“What the hell did my child do wrong? Why are you doing this?”

“Why? Why am I doing this?”

The black eyes hidden inside the mask looked at Mariela.

“Because I want you to suffer.”

“Ugh ugh.”

Mariela was tired, so she just closed her mouth, but he came closer.

“If you want to save your daughter, you should pray now……”

SLAM

Suddenly the door opened. Gillian’s sword pierced through the man’s body.

“What the heck! I tried to avoid it, but it was too late….. What…..”

In the next moment, the man’s body turned gray, then cracked and collapsed.

Then, in an instant, it turned to sand.

“Are you all right, Mariela?”

“Yes… yes.”

Gillian hugged his sobbing wife.

It was the beginning of a long night of despair.

* * * * *

It’s been a long time since he took a night walk with Elysia.

Unlike when she was working, her long golden hair waved and swayed softly as she walked under the bright moonlight.

While he admired her beauty, Eleon’s heart gradually softened.

The woman he loves was going to introduce him to another young girl. The woman who refused to marry him. The woman who said never to meet again.

All the words that had caused a stir in his heart faded away, leaving only the blonde hair that curled gently between his fingers when he touched it.

“It’s been a while since I took a walk.”

“Didn’t you go for a walk while I was gone?”

“Yes. I did it for my health because I didn’t exercise enough, but after walking through the Yuter’s paradise every day, I didn’t need any extra exercise.”

“Ah… I see. When I also had tea in the garden, I had a hard time going back to the mansion, I had to take a break in the middle. That’s when I was embarrassed to sit on the dirt. Remember?”

“I remember.”

A large white flower blooming on the carpet of red camellias.

He had a strange feeling seeing how neat and beautiful Elysia was, wearing a white dress with little decorations.

“I was a little embarrassed back then.”

“Why were you embarrassed?”

“Isn’t it strange that the Duke’s daughter is sitting on the dirty ground?”

“No. I didn’t care. I was more upset when you introduced me to another lady.”

“……I’m sorry.”

Eleon held back his laughter.

Even though they were in the garden of a private mansion, the sound he made at night could carry a long way.

Umm? What are you doing?

Elysia began to act strangely.

Slowly, she took a few steps from him. He followed her and saw her on her knees where the bushes were overgrown, apparently searching for something.

“E…Rona.”

In confusion by the sight, Eleon almost called her Elysia.

He pretended not to know and naturally called out to her.

“Rona. Where are you?”

“Yes. I’m here.”

When he found her, she got up, quickly walked over to him, and grabbed his arm.

“I’m anxious when I can’t feel your presence.”

“I’m sorry. I tried to find something I dropped.”

“What did you drop? What is it?”

Embarrassed, Elysia opened her mouth.

“A coin. It’s like a lucky coin.”

That is obviously a lie. He was certain. But he couldn’t pretend not to know.

“When the sun comes up, I’ll make people find it.”

“No!”

As expected, Elysia was startled.

“You don’t have to send anyone. I’m just looking for it just in case.”

It was an unconvincing answer considering that she was kneeling in front of the bushes at night.

“Okay. I get it.”

After he answered, Elysia felt relieved.

However, from that moment on, he looked back in the direction of the bushes because something was bothering him unbearably.

When Eleon looked at Elysia, a corner of his heart grew cold.

Are you hiding something from me?
