I Grabbed The Leash Of The Blind Beast - Chapter 36
Chapter 36
“I know this is the world from the book Flower of the Blind Beast.”
The light surrounding the altar to protect it disappeared.
Mariela approached the altar.
On the cover of the book, the title was written as if someone had written it by hand.
Mariela’s eyes seemed determined as she looked at the book.
I will find a way to save my daughter.
Mariela carefully opened the book.
The writer’s handwriting on each page was different. She turned the pages.
Shortly after, the eyes of Mariela, who found the name ‘Elysia Yuter’, were wet and red.
Mariela looked at the letters full of despair.
However, there was no way to save Elysia easily, so her shoulders lost strength.
In the end, Mariela had to return without much result.
It was then.
As Mariela’s carriage began to run down the dark road, the shadowy corner of the house looked like a hiding place and a human figure appeared.
The man who was looking at Mariela was a tall, thin man.
A white mask covering his entire face rose like a cold moon above the black shadow.
The smooth and bright white mask that did not reveal emotions was an object that gave off a bizarre feeling as it seemed as if it was smiling or crying.
The man with his face covered, muttered in a low voice as he watched the carriage drive away.
“It will not go your way.”
Then he put on his black hood and disappeared into the darkness between the alleys.
* * * * *
It’s a terrible dream.
Sabiel grabbed Elysia’s wrists and pressed them above her head.
Although she fought with all her strength, she could not hold out against the man’s single hand.
「“You crazy bastard!”」
When she cried out, Sabiel put his lips on her cheek.
「“It would be nice if you stayed still obediently.”」
Sabiel released her wrist as he tried to undress her with one hand.
「“This is nothing, should I tear your clothes up?”」
He muttered irritably as he unbuttoned the priest’s uniform buttons.
THUD
Sabiel’s eyes widened and distorted when a short, two-finger-sized knife that she had hidden on her body plunged into his neck.
「“How..how dare you……”」
Sabiel’s blood fell on her face.
The bloodstains that had fallen on the white priest’s uniform spread more and more.
Elysia, who had escaped his grasp, was still holding the knife, and her hands were stained with his blood.
Elysia ran desperately out of the cabin.
But the run was short.
「“He will not die.”」
Sabiel will not die. Because it was decided by her destiny.
Standing on the edge of the railing, Elysia watched the turbulent waters of the lake swirl beneath the boat.
She was very tired.
Nevertheless, she could not kill herself with the knife she had in her hand.
I don’t want even a single drop of the enemy’s dirty blood to mix in my body.
A blood-soaked knife fell first.
Elysia felt hope when she saw the knife disappear into the water.
If I fall from here, I will disappear through the turbulent stream of water.
Away from my wretched fate……
Then Elysia threw herself.
If there is a next life, I want to be happy.
* * * * *
Groan groan
Her entire body was drenched in sweat.
Elysia was so shocked that she couldn’t even get out of bed.
“……That was just a dream.”
It was a dream. But it was so vivid that it made her sick and nauseous.
“Ah…ah… Ugh… Crying.”
She felt like she was running out of oxygen like a drowning person, so she took a deep breath but cried.
“Sobbing.”
She couldn’t calm down.
Elysia tried her best to calm down.
She felt the emotions of the real Elysia thanks to the dream.
How can it be so tragic and sad even though I wasn’t the one to experience it?
How could he be so desperately miserable?
Elysia curled up for a long time and continued to cry.
Suddenly, she thought that it might be Elysia’s memory. Then something occurred to her.
Did Elysia really make that choice?
It was just a dream, but she couldn’t forget it.
Emotions came to life as she recalled the memories left in her body.
Could it be that Elysia was not happy?
She thought about it a few times.
What made the girl who seemed to have everything unhappy?
If she was a priest, shouldn’t she have forgotten all the troubles and worries of the world and had a peaceful mind?
Elysia felt guilty that she had peeped into something she shouldn’t have.
She didn’t feel well, maybe because of the dream.
In the dream, he pressed so hard on Elysia’s body that even her shoulders, arms, and muscles ached in real life.
Sigh, I really want to rest.
I was unmotivated and didn’t have the energy to deal with anyone today.
However, looking at Karina and Eleon sitting next to each other, it felt like anger was welling up from within.
Eleon and Karina were destined to be together.
I can’t believe I have to suffer these kinds of feelings for people who look good together.
If I close my eyes and open them, I hope it’s after the two of them get married, then Eleon will become emperor.
Then I can go back to my world.
Why on earth do you two have to meet here?
It was clear that Karina had a good talk with Eleon, but I could not understand why they had to come to Yuter’s residence, as if they had promised.
Ah, you two must have made a promise.
To avoid the public eye, they meet here, not at the Grand Duke’s or Count Harrington’s.
The answer was hidden in the muffled whispers.
But today, there was another uninvited guest.
“I like the taste of the tea My Lady serves. I could come every day.”
Sabiel naturally raised the teacup.
Sigh
Elysia sighed inwardly.
It was enough having to deal with Eleon and Karina. Now she had to deal with Sabiel on top of that.
Especially since she dreamt of him, she couldn’t even make eye contact with Sabiel, unlike when she only vaguely thought that he was the enemy that brought Elysia to her death.
“Last time, I couldn’t have a proper conversation with you, so I came with great effort to meet you here.”
“Sabiel. Have some tea.”
Eleon who put on a defiant attitude did not seem to have the intention of dealing with Sabiel.
And every time Sabiel said a word, Karina’s expression hardened as much as Elysia’s.
What’s up with this atmosphere?
Elysia felt a cold sweat run down the back of her neck.
If I pretend to pass out, maybe I can get out of here.
She had an extreme thought.
“Lady Elysia.”
When Laurie naturally called out to her, Elysia stood up with delight.
“Oh, my mother called me. I’ll be right back. You three take your time talking.”
She said she’d be right back, but Elysia had no intention of coming back like yesterday.
Just….. for some reason, I don’t want to see the two of you together.
And she felt strange and uncomfortable with herself.
Besides, she didn’t want to get close to Sabiel’s in real life after what she had seen in the terrible dream.
She didn’t feel that it mattered why she had such a dream, or if it really happened before Elysia fell into the lake.
It was Sabiel who led Elysia to her death.
Elysia intended on going back to her room and getting into her bed.
Outside the bed is also dangerous.
She was terrified of having to meet Sabiel. She regarded Sabiel, who was in her garden, as her enemy.
“Oh, why is it too far?”
Mariela’s dream garden, which was named Yuter’s Paradise, is so large that until today it was difficult for her to walk to the mansion.
But it was nothing compared to the servants who always came and went carrying trays of teapots.
Elysia gradually lost her strength as she walked toward the mansion.
She headed under the camellia trees again today.
“Why it is so hard today?”
The ground was dirty, but she didn’t care.
She was finally able to breathe when she leaned against a tree.
The bunch of flowers around her made her look like she was sitting on a red carpet.
Elysia stared blankly at it.
Today the flowers seemed pathetic to her, so she was going to pick up the flowers that fell on her.
“What are you doing in this place?”
Eleon’s voice was heard from above, and Elysia raised her head in surprise.
“Your Highness.”
She quickly got up.
Even though she is the only daughter of the Duke of Yuter, his face was burning for no reason at the sight of her sitting on the dirty ground and playing with the flowers she had picked.
“Your Highness, what are you doing here?”
What about Karina? I couldn’t ask him that.
Eleon looked at her with concern, unlike the slightly smiling corners of his lips.
“My mother also called me to come.”
Elysia said opps in her mind when she heard those words.
You realized.
She purposely left the room yesterday to give Karina a chance to talk to him.
Elysia hesitated, not knowing what to say.
“……Are you angry?”
She could hardly say it with difficulty.
He was upset, so he made it obvious.
He wanted to let her know that he felt uncomfortable.
“Why do you think I’m angry?”
“……I don’t know.”
“Ah, so you don’t know that?”
Elysia’s eyes widened.
“What? Are you really offended?”
Eleon didn’t answer and started walking along the path of the camellia trees.
When he showed his back, he somehow felt as if he had done something wrong.
“Lady Karina is a beautiful and virtuous person.”
Elysia hurriedly followed him and said.
“Your Highness said before that you are looking for someone. You said you found only half. I thought that someone would be Lady Karina. I thought you might like her if I gave you two time to talk…….”
Eleon, who was walking ahead of her, suddenly stopped.
“Rona.”
The sudden name made her feel as if her heart had plummeted.
Ba-thump bath ump ba-thump
Her heart was pounding like a drum.
As Eleon turned slowly, her eyes met his bright red eyes.
He looked at Elysia tenaciously, as if he wanted to know in detail what she was thinking.
“It’s the name of the woman I am looking for.”
Only then did she relax.
But what? Rona?
「“Did you find that woman?”」
「“Only half.”」
He replied that he was only able to find half.
「“What kind of person is Your Highness looking for?”」
「“Someone who will marry me.”」
Eleon said he would marry that woman!
After hearing Karina’s story, she wondered if Karina and Eleon, who met like in the original story, would walk along the path of flowers.
Rona. What do you mean Rona?
“I’ll just go back today.”
Eleon looked at her once again with an inexplicable, sullen look, and turned away.
“What did I hear just now?”
Is he going to marry Rona?
Elysia stood there blankly for a long time.
Someone was watching them just a few steps away.
Karina muttered dumbfounded.
“What the hell did he mean by that?”
The conversation between Eleon and Elysia was very strange.
Just like yesterday, as soon as Elysia left, Eleon followed her.
I couldn’t let Eleon go first like yesterday. I had to talk to him properly.
Because no man clings to a woman who does not accept him forever.
Karina was confident in her charm. It was rare that very few young men did not fall in love with her when they arrived in the capital.
And Eleon Clevent was at the top of that oddity.
“Why is Lady Elysia acting like she’s not Rona?”
And Eleon seemed to have deliberately twisted his words, knowing that Elysia was Rona.
“What does that mean?”
Karina frowned at Sabiel’s voice.
“Why did you follow me?”
“Just answer the question.”
Sabiel gritted his teeth.
“Who is Elysia?”
