I Grabbed The Leash Of The Blind Beast

Chapter 2

His Majesty told me to get married because I am too old.

Eleons words caught her off guard.

Wedding? Marriage? Nonsense!

The heroine hasnt appeared yet, and Eleons eyes havent even been cured.

What the hell is going on?

Is My Lord getting married?

Yes. His Majesty said that Im old.

Its common for nobles to get engaged from an early age, and to hold a wedding ceremony when they came of age.

When the former Grand Duke died early, Eleon was already on the battlefield before he reached adulthood. After returning from the border, he took over the estate at his coming-of-age ceremony without carrying out any social activities.

In our world, at this age, everyone is in the middle of their job hunting, but in this case, its the age where they are already parents.

Besides, Eleon is the son of Princess Lev and the Emperors only nephew.

He mentioned the Grand Duchys succession.

The fact that he got blinded on the battlefield, his successor would never be born blind.

So, if Eleon marries a Young Lady from a prestigious family and has children, their reputation will continue from generation to generation. But why does he have to get married now?

Then who are you going to marry?

Contrary to her shock, she asked a good question.

I dont know.

Eleon replied very calmly while smelling the coffee.

You dont know?

Dont you do think it would be a young lady, chosen by His Majesty?

No way!

She was astonished.

Why?

Cant you just wait three days? The female lead will come and heal your eyes.

Once your eyes are cured, youll gain love. Its killing two birds with one stone. If I think about going back to my original world, Ill have to do my best.

Rona clenched her fits unable to give a simple and clear answer.

Do you know how long life is? My lord! Shouldnt you at least marry someone you love? Youll spend the rest of your life with her

You talk like someone who knows how long life is.

That, thats right.

Its because I watched a lot of dramas.

Anyway, Im against it!

Of course, she has no right to oppose Eleons marriage. Rona knew this very well. She thought she would have to wait a few days before the flower would wither.

You should marry a woman you love.

Do you think so?

Of course I do.

But who will accept me?

Yes? What do you mean?

Because Im blind. Even if the Emperor orders it, I will feel burdened.

Where in the world can you find such a good-looking match? Rona felt sorry for him, who seemed quite discouraged.

Thats not true, My Lord. You will meet a good woman.

And her name is Karina Drepain. So stop worrying about it.

Rona made up her mind once again. She would surely bring the female lead in front of Eleon within the remaining three days.

By the way, everyone is looking this way.

Everyone sitting in the cafe glanced at Eleon. Even though hes blind, Eleon was the best knight in the Empire, a swordmaster. So, hes always been sensitive to peoples stares.

Its because Im blind.

How could he think like that? Eleon is the typical male lead, who didnt have any idea that it was because of his attractive appearance.

Is it wrong of me to drink tea in a place like this?

As he continued to care, Rona replied quickly.

Its because I stand out.

Do you?

Yes.

Rona was exhausted on her first outing in the capital, but the caffeine reached her veins, making her feel alive again.

Come to think of it, what do you look like? I dont remember hearing about your appearance.

It doesnt matter how I look. How can I convince you that its my fault people are staring this way.

Well, my hair color is red and my eyes are blue. Im dark-skinned. And my face is unique.

Rona roughly explained her appearance with the idea of the South Korea Flag while she was busy looking for Lady Karina. Thats why she missed Eleon smiling.

You look weird. It must be a rare color.

Of course. I told you.

She answered half-heartedly.

May I touch your face?

Eleons words startled her.

My face?

Yes. Im curious how unique you look.

Eleon hasnt seen for a long time, so his fingertips become sensitive that its replaced the role of the eyes.

I dont think youll figure it out just with your hands.

During the two years, he was blind, Eleon gave up on his life.

Still, its not like my face is going to wear out.

Rona had to satisfy Eleons curiosity, given that Eleon was her employer.

Yeah, just touch it.

Rona placed her face forward, and Eleons hands reached out into the air.

She took his hands, and guide them towards her face.

His hands were big, a little cold, and hardened with calluses since he has been holding the sword for a long time.

Is his body temperature low?

Rona closed her eyes, his fingertips touched her long eyelashes. Eleon paused for a moment, and slowly began to touch her face again. He soon withdrew his hands from her face.

As you said, you have a strange-looking face.

Eleon smiled brightly, happy to touch her face.

Ugh, its so dazzling.

Even though hes blind, the main lead is the main lead. I suddenly got dizzy from the unexpected halo effect.

Why are you not eating the dessert?

Sir Eleon should eat first.

Rona deliberately placed the plate in front of him. He reached out towards the sound of the plate and picked up the chocolate.

It wasnt until Eleon put a piece of chocolate in her mouth that she was able to enjoy the sweet and bitter taste.

Eleon took a sip of his coffee and sat back comfortably in his chair. It felt as if this space had been taken over by him with just that trivial move.

Hows the place? I think there are a lot of people.

Rona looked around again.

Well. To be honest, I dont think youll like it.

Caf Cardinal is popular a shop known for its cheap prices and generous portions, frequented for young people who dont have much money. Its a shop for the commoners rather than for the nobles.

The tables were old, and the curtains had some lace ripped in some places. The awning at the entrance was broken and showed signs of different fabric colors because it had not been repaired.

The reason I came here in the first place is because of Karina.

The original female lead, Karina, was a young girl who grew up in a rural area on the outskirts of the mountains. When her parents died, suddenly a wealthy relative from the capital adopted her as a foster daughter.

While Karina was wandering around the capital, making preparations for her debutante, drawn by the sweet smell of this cafe, she encountered an altercation with some bad guys. It was Eleon who helped her.

He was an overwhelming knight who had no problem killing even with his eyes closed. After saving Karina, they became friends and she often visited the mansion to see the grass.

Im sorry to the sacred herb for calling it grass, but I forgot its name.

Anyway, Karina is knowledgeable in herbs because she grew up in the mountains. She would have to make an elixir with the herb and give it to Eleon.

After today, there are only two days left.

She looked at Eleon, who was waiting patiently for Rona to describe the cafe scene.

First of all, the table is similar to the garden table in the Mansion.

The round shape is similar, but the price is about 100 times more.

The curtains are white.

Rona bit her lips and lied. Maybe its the readers heart who wants to give only good things to our male lead.

The awning is blue and there are also a few tables under it. The blue sky is beautiful and clear today.

In the original novel, there is no scene where Eleon is sitting in Caf Cardinal. This was not a place for him to sit. I just had to find the female lead.

The description of the place was upgraded to match Eleons dignity, and Rona was proud of herself.

I see. Its a pretty nice shop.

Eleon nodded and continued drinking his coffee.

Hurry up and eat it. The chocolate tastes good.

Okey. Ill do what you say.

Rona shoved a piece of chocolate into her mouth. The chocolate was unexpectedly delicious.

What does your name mean?

My name?

Rona scratched her head for a moment. It was the name of the main character of the drama that she was obsessed with before she came here.

She wandered around like a beggar when she heard the news of job recruitment for the Grand Duke Beast. They were hiring regardless of their status and it was a perfect condition for her.

The old couple who had saved Rona helped with some travel expenses, but she saved the money in case she might lose it. She had no choice but to starve. After not having a proper meal for several days, Rona went to the job agency.

Whats your name?

Won Yoon .

A westerner-like man with curly brown hair and abundant sideburns connected to his chin stared at her.

I cant say its Won Yoon-Ji!

Ronas instinct alerted her to use a name that fits this world.

Ro, Rona.

So Won Yoon-Ji became Rona.

II dont know. haha. You know that I have no memory.

In the last few months, Rona had been explaining and describing what Eleon had been curious about.

The people who gave me my name know the meaning of my name. Im curious too.

After a bit of confusion, Eleon did not ask any more questions.

And the scent of sweetness covered the two of them.

When he returned to the mansion, the butler, Bernard, was in a commotion.

Your Highness, why did you leave while I was away?

Why does it matter if youre here or not. I just went to the Imperial Palace, so I didnt need you to get ready to go out.

Bernard was disappointed.

You are too much. Its been a while since youve been to the Imperial Palace, I called in the painters and my Lord stopped them from leaving the painting. Its the first time you went out in years!

Eleon frowned.

Dont make a fuss, I just drank tea. Tell them to serve my dinner.

Yes. Your highness.

With a sullen expression on his face, Bernard quickly took Eleons coat off and put a cane in his hand. As Bernard left, Eleon swept his cane across the floor.

TAP TAP TAP.

Eleon used his cane to find a bumpy tile on the floor.

Soon, a long line of tiles hung on at the end of his cane.

Eleon moved slowly to the bathroom, fumbling with his hand, and tilting the kettle on the sink. He washed his hands, face, and the back of his neck meticulously by himself, and as if he could see an invisible mirror, he tidied up his hair back.

He went back to the large single-seater chair with a cane and sat in a straight position, suddenly his body lost strength.

Sigh.

After all, its too much to ask you to see me as a man.
