I Grabbed The Leash Of The Blind Beast

Rona was stunned for a moment.

Eleon’s straight chin touched her forehead, and his beautiful adam’s apple was in front of her.

She touched his hard chest. A sculptural body could be seen despite the fact that he was wearing three layers of clothes, a shirt, vest, and jacket.

The thigh that I felt between my legs gave me a sense of stability, as if I was riding on a saddle.

His arms were nice and comfortable.

The scent of sandalwood slowly emanates from his body.

And the sound of birds chirping through the park.

Rona almost closed her eyes without realizing it.

“Are you okay?”

As soon as she heard his voice, she came back to reality.

“Sorry, I’m so sorry.”

“Ugh.”

He frowned when she pressed against his abdomen with her hand while she was trying to get up quickly.

“Are you hurt? I think I hit you.”

“No, it’s ok. Don’t worry about it.”

Eleon sat up, even though he looked uncomfortable.

At the same time, Rona got depressed.

“My Lord, shall we go back to the mansion?”

I guess she’s very upset.

He had to think about what to do.

“You haven’t been here in a while, but you’re going back?”

Eleon turned to where she was sitting.

His face remained as usual. And Rona felt relieved only then.

“There’s a lot of food you like in this picnic basket.”

“What’s in there? There’s a lot of smells so I don’t know.”

Rona diligently took out something from the basket.

“It’s inconvenient since there’s no table.”

Come to think of it, she had to arrange food on the floor, so Eleon couldn’t eat by himself.

“If you stay still, I will take care of it.”

Blushing.

Suddenly, Eleon’s face turned red.

What’s wrong with him?

She tilted her head, then realized.

We weren’t at the Grand Duke’s mansion.

Eleon would be ashamed if others got to see an adult as big as him being fed like a baby.

“Ah, this would be enough.”

Rona put roast beef and salad between the bread, wrapped it in a napkin, and handed it to Eleon.

“This way, you can eat alone.”

“What is this?”

“It’s a sandwich, I have put some food between the bread. It’s something I ate a lot where I used to lived.”

Rona also added ham and vegetables to her portion of bread.

The sandwich taste which I hadn’t eaten in a long time, awakened the memories of my previous life.

* * * * *

“It’s here.”

Rona asked for directions and arrived at Count Harrington’s residence. Built with old-fashioned dark bricks, the manor looked luscious just by looking at it.

Count Harrington and his wife were known for being quite good-natured people.

So they have been willing to adopt the daughter of a distant relative.

However, even such kindness must have been suffocating due to the capital lifestyle which she wasn’t familiar with.

If they were the bad people, she could have refused coldly.

But it’s hard to say ‘I hate being dragged around’ given that they do it with good intentions.

Rona could understand that feeling.

I hated it when my mom always told me to eat healthily.

Because I sympathized with it.

Anyway, I even came to see her in person, so I was expecting to be able to meet Karina today.

“What if I don’t meet her because it’s late?”

There was a problem on the way home from Trappel Park.

It’s because Eleon insisted on going with Rona.

“Go ahead with the butler first.”

“Why?”

“I have some business to do.”

“You have something to do? What’s going on? We can go together.”

Rona was a little embarrassed whenever Eleon acted like this.

“Ah, that… My dress is a little small, so I thought I should make myself some clothes.”

“I’ll take you to the front of the store.”

“No. You can’t. If you take a man to a women’s dresser, everyone will misunderstands we’re dating!”

Then Bernard intervened quickly.

“That’s right. Besides, you suddenly went out for two days in a row, so you need to rest.”

Rona, who wants to go alone, and the butler who puts the Grand Duke’s health first, both of them were on the same side.

It had been quite a while since Eleon had separated from me like this.

“Sigh. What is this?”

I’m doing all of this in order to cure his eyes.

It’s all for you.

I can’t believe you’re trying to follow me without knowing that. You’re not even a six-year-old.

In front of the door, Rona neatly brushed off her clothes.

Since I went to Trappel Park today, I was carefully wearing outdoor clothes and not my maid clothes, in case, I might run into Count Harrington.

“Hello. My name is Rona Hera Palace. May I see Lady Karina?”

T/N: Yes, ^^ I believe the author is a fan of Penthouse, a popular k-drama.

“Lady Karina?”

There must not have been a single guest visiting Karina at the Count’s House.

Soon Rona was led to a small building close to the entrance.

The reality was that guests with uncertain identities could not even go to the reception room of the main building.

After a while, an elderly butler came in.

“What did you come here for?”

“I was indebted to Lady Karina.”

The truth is, I want to be indebted to you from now on.

“I was trying to repay the favor, but I heard that Lady Karina lost her parents and she was staying at the Count Harrington’s residence.”

“I see.”

The butler nodded.

“Will I be able to meet her?”

“That seems difficult.”

Rona rolled her eyes.

“How come? I’m sure she’ll be happy if she sees me.”

I thought about whether I wasn’t very polite right now.

I wasn’t making any unreasonable requests.

“Lady Karina is not at the residence at the moment.”

“Yes? No, then where is she?”

A look of pride appeared on the butler’s face.

“She’s at the Imperial Palace.”

* * * * *

The sunset gave off a uniquely elegant atmosphere to the palace garden.

A white statue with a golden crown and a spear in its hands turned red as the sun went down.

The garden was full of spring flowers and water drops from the fountain.

A beautiful woman was standing in the middle of the garden.

Her slender body, waving silver hair, and dark, vivid green eyes evoked a fairy-like aura of mystery.

“It’s so beautiful.”

As Karina admired the garden, the man next to her smiled.

“It not as beautiful as you.”

Karina blushed out of embarrassment.

The blue-eyed man with slightly black hair looked good in uniform. The almond-shaped eyes look good with the high nose bridge. And his soft lips look like they were sculpted by an artist.

“Your Majesty the Crown Prince, please don’t say anything like that.”

“Do you not like it?”

“Are you saying that to other young girls?”

“I did.”

Karina had a slightly disappointed expression on her face.

“I said it out of courtesy then, but I’m sincere now.”

Sabiel took Karina’s hand and kissed the back of her hand.

Her heart was pounding insanely to the point of fainting.

“Lies.”

“How can I convince you to trust me?”

Karina didn’t say anything, however Sabiel said.

“Call me by my name.”

“Yes?”

“Sabiel. You can call me that.”

“I…I can’t”

Allowing someone to call him by his name was an entirely different matter. In the Empire, calling the members of the royal family by their names were limited to the parents and spouses.

“I don’t dare to call Your Highness name… … .”

“Say my name.”

“I can’t.”

“Are you not following orders of the Royal Family?”

As Sabiel made a playful and persistent request, Karina licked her lips.

“… … Sabiel.”

“Good to hear.”

Sabiel slowly lowered his head toward Karina. And she closed her eyes as if she had waited and accepted his kiss.

“Whenever it’s just the two of you, call me by my name.”

Karina blushed and nodded her head. She couldn’t tell if her cheeks were red from the setting sun, or from embarrassment.

“His Majesty, Crown Prince.”

“What’s going on?”

“It’s… … .”

Sabiel’s face hardened when the lieutenant whispered something. He soon looked back at Karina casually.

“Karina. I have urgent work to do, so I have to go.”

Karina made a sad face, but Sabiel kissed her once more.

“Come to the palace tomorrow as well.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“If you don’t call me by my name tomorrow, I will have to punish you.”

As Sabiel disappeared, Karina sat down and soon her legs relaxed.

“Ha…haha.”

Karina Dreppain. She was the daughter of a baron in name only.

She grew up like a normal village girl on the outskirts of a remote province.

It felt like the sky was falling when her parents died suddenly. However, her distant relative, Count Harrington, adopted her and allowed her to come to the capital.

She had a different lifestyle from the socialites of the capital.

Countess Harrington worked hard so that Karina could debut.

However, for Karina, who had lived a free-spirited life, the aristocratic life was unbearable.

She was trying to endure until her debutante.

Countess Harrington and Karina entered the palace together to meet the Empress.

And the Countess gifted expensive jewelry to the Empress, who said she would introduce Karina specifically to her social circle.

At that time, Karina lost her way while she was trying to get out of the conversation between the Countess and The Empress.

Accidentally she stumbled upon Crown Prince Sabiel.

“Ha ha.”

Karina blushed, recalling the first time she met Sabiel. I had never seen such a wonderful man in the world, and…

“That was my first kiss.”

I heard a bell ringing in my ear.

From the red sky, to the sound of splashing water from the fountain in the garden, and the fragrant smell of flowers.

Everything was perfect.

“Sabiel.”

Her face glowed, recalling the name of her lover.

And the woman in love left the palace only after the sun went down.

* * * * *

Rona walked along the shabby path.

I waited until almost ten o’clock at night, but Karina never returned from the Imperial Palace.

According to Harrington’s butler, she goes to the Imperial Palace almost every day to meet the Crown Prince and doesn’t return until late.

“Count Harrington had only one descendant, without any daughter. When he adopted the beautiful Karina, his wife was satisfied, and she may marry the Imperial Family, so now she is a blessing to the family.”

Rona couldn’t process what the butler said.

“I can’t believe she fell in love with the Crown Prince.”

It deviated from the original . Karina should have come to the capital and met Eleon earlier.

“Then Eleon… … What should I do?”

Karina should make Eleon’s medicine.

Would she be able to make it without love?

Will there be no problem in healing his eyes without the premise of falling in love?

Rona felt at a loss because it was the first time she had encountered such a deviation from the original.

CLANG CLANG

The large iron gate of the Grand Duke’s residence made a sound even if she opened and closed it carefully.

By the time they had all gone to bed, she slyly opened the door and she went inside.

SLAM.

She had just entered the manor and had closed the front door.

A black figure was sitting quietly on the stairs.

“You’re late.”
