I Grabbed The Leash Of The Blind Beast

Chapter 3



Chapter 3

After he became blind, he gave up on his life.

He was skilled enough to throw a dagger and hit the target even with his eyes closed.

Eleon could not accept the fact that his honor as the most powerful knight in the Empire was being thrown into the gutter.

He lived like a wounded beast crouching in a cave. So he didnt know how much time had passed.

No servant wanted to serve him. They trembled and ran away every time they saw him as if they had seen a terrible monster. When a new maid came, they never stepped into his room twice.

But Rona was different. Twice, three times, four times.

She greeted him indifferently, and without hesitation, she came in and cleaned his messy room.

He wasnt embarrassed by showing off his private parts to strangers. They werent going to see each other again anyway.

It didnt matter to me if I showed a disgraceful appearance to someone because I knew they would run away.

Later, I found out that the new maids name was Rona. Also, shes a pretty young woman. And she doesnt run away when she sees his bottom every day.

As those days piled up, she pulled him out of his dark daily life.

She was a surprisingly smart woman. Rona taught him the way to the sofa, to the bed, and to the bathroom with only tiles on the floor.

Thats how he was able to live a decent life to some extent after a year and a half of frustration. But that was it.

He waved his palm to himself in front of my face. There was no end to the terrifying darkness, not even allowing the slightest amount of light.

Eleon often thinks that he is just closing his eyes instead of being blind. He tricked himself to make himself feel a little better.

Didnt you want to go to that cafe?

Rona was no longer the maid cleaning the room. She became Eleons exclusive maid.

Every day, Eleon ate with Rona. She would first serve his meal, and then she would eat her share.

Before, Bernard would get furious if she sits at the same table as the master. Now the butler also loves her by calling her Miss Rona.

When they ate together, she talked about this and that. And every time he asked, she would explain it to him. But recently, only once, Rona asked me first.

Have you ever been to Caf Cardinal?

Of course, Ive never been here.

I asked Bernard, he said it was a famous cafe not far from the residence.

Is it a popular dating spot for couples?

Yes, my lord. A lot of young lovers go there. Its not a place youd like to go. But how do you know about such a place?

Cant believe its a place where lovers go. Why did she ask me if Ive been to such a place?

Perhaps. Does Rona want to go there with me? A cafe called the Sanctuary for Lovers?

My heart was pounding.

After Eleon lost his sight, he never went outside.

However, he went out for the first time, as he was called by the Imperial Palace, to confirm that his condition had stabilized.

He went directly to find Rona in Caf Cardinal. The reason he got more confident, was because Rona sighed more and more these days.

I might be bothering you.

He relied a lot on her when she became his eyes and hands.

As he sat down in the cafe, he felt the gazes pouring toward him and Rona.

Thats what Eleon was concerned about because he wondered if he and Rona didnt look like a couple.

Then I suddenly wondered what Rona looked like.

Its because I stand out.

On the excuse of checking what she looked like, I stretched out my hand with self-interest.

And she casually placed her face forward.

My heart pounded when my hands touched her soft cheek. My rough hands didnt seem worthy of caressing her delicate skin.

Still, I couldnt take my hand off her.

He pretended to be calm and tried to remember Ronas face with his hands.

His hand touched her soft and plump lips.

But Rona didnt get flustered as if nothing had happened. And that upset Eleon.

He realized that the excitement he had been expecting a little bit was an illusion. And his heart crumbled away.

A blind man like me.

Rona wont see him as a man.

His colorless eyes widened just at the thought of her.

Its pathetic.

Eleon blamed himself.

KNOCK KNOCK

There was the smell of food.

Its time for dinner.

Eleons heart fluttered just hearing Ronas voice.

Come on in

She opened the door, pushing the tray inside.

Eleon was in the usual outfit he wears at home.

It smells good.

Rona smiled, as she watched him sit quietly in his usual chair, waiting for her.

Whats on the menu today?

Rona thought it was cute when she saw the big man sitting obediently like a child waiting for her.

She dragged the table in front of Eleons chair, arranging the meal. Suddenly, Rona carefully spoke to him.

Can you guess, My Lord? Its something you like.

The man who had been paying attention to the tip of his nose replied immediately.

It smells like sausage and spices.

Thats right. Its vegetables and grilled sausages. Also, there are baked beans.

Rona wrapped a large napkin around Eleons neck. The handsome, long-legged man looked like a high fashion model, even with his bib.

Its hot, so eat it slowly.

He quietly opened his mouth and Rona started to feed him.

Sigh.

I sighed unconsciously.

Whats with the sigh?

Did I sigh?

Its the second time you sighed.

I didnt sigh. I was trying to blow it cause its hot.

Excuses.

Eleon laughed.

Oops!

The wrongly timed spoon hit his lips.

Rona got up, wiping Eleons lips with a small towel.

Sorry, sorry.

Its okay.

Rona smiled awkwardly and tore the bread to put it into Eleons mouth.

Ok, its enough, you should eat too.

Thank you

Rona sat across from Eleon and started eating her share of food.

Sigh.

She sighed for the third time unconsciously, she covered her mouth in surprise.

Without a doubt, he began to worry again.

When she first started working at the Grand Dukes mansion, Eleon was faithful to the concept of a blind beast.

His hair was always messy because he didnt wash it. He wore ripped clothes and cried like a beast refusing to eat.

What a pity I felt when I first saw Eleon like that.

She was hungry and with nowhere to go. Rona did her best for Eleon, and he started changing little by little.

She puts up with Eleons looks. Perhaps it was thanks to the fact that shes obviously a thoughtful and helpful person.

As Rona continued working, he gradually became ashamed of his actions.

The beast recovered his human side bit by bit.

His hair was tangled with food splattered from the dishes he had overturned, returning to his black hair with a fragrant sandalwood scent.

Eleon regained the same intelligence as before.

He raised her salary several times, which was originally quite high. Thats how Rona became the only maid at the Grand Dukes residence.

Is work stressful?

It was a great comfort for Rona when Eleon started taking care of her. She had no place to lean in this world because she had lost her memory.

She was grateful for his kindness.

If theres anything I can help with, you can always talk to me.

No, its ok.

I cant believe Im getting help from Eleon to find the female lead.

It would have been an accomplished fact to see Karina in the reception room of the mansion after sending a letter in the name of Grand Duke, but it was roughly a disintegration of the original novel. And that was never going to happen.

I guess I made you worry. It was personal. Apart from that, do you feel uncomfortable?

Rona looked at him. After going to the cafe, he was strangely gloomy.

Eleon was originally a man of great pride. Never saying or doing anything he would regret, with outstanding and superior abilities that knew no failure.

Thats why he was disappointed when he realized theres nothing he could do.

Rona blamed the author of for misusing Eleons habit.

She needs to add reality appropriately. Since hes the main character, he is set up to be good at everything.

Isnt it sad that Eleons life was falling apart just because he spilled soup?

What the hell is wrong with Eleon?

He should feel some self-satisfaction. It was the first time he had been out to the Imperial Palace and a cafe.

Didnt you want to go to Caf Cardinal?

Yes. I wanted to go.

But you didnt seem to like it that much. You were distracted.

Ha, did he notice?

She talked a little indifferent, focusing on whether Karina would pass by or not.

It was something anyone would feel bad about. Since Eleon couldnt see, he just focused on her.

No matter how important it is to find Karina, however..

Rona felt sorry for him.

Its my first outing in the capital. The outside was interesting Im sorry.

Thats how it was. I again .

He tried to leave out what he was going to say.

Did you like The Capital?

Of course. Compared to the country I used to live in, this place is completely different.

Anyway, when Rona opened her eyes for the first time, she felt exhausted.

She was lying on the shore of a lake deep in the woods.

Was she trying to commit suicide?

I have thought about it once.

You were so pretty and young. Did she try to drown in a lake?

Luckily for her, an elderly couple saved her. When she said she had no memory, they felt sorry for her and even took her to the city.

In any case, Rona must have lived far from the capital.

How is it different?

The road is much wider and paved with stones. The area I lived in had muddy ground, and yellow dust rises from the ground.

Rona remembered when she briefly was at Eleons castle, before coming to the capital together with Eleon.

I think all the people in the capital are stylish and pretty cool. There are so many beautiful women, and the men are very handsome.

Was there many handsome men?

Yeah, I was busy enjoying the view.

Once again, she realized Eleon was feeling down.
