I Grabbed The Leash Of The Blind Beast

“Someone who will marry me.”

Elysia froze. 

Those who formed a line in pairs and circled the center of the dance floor began to be pushed because of Eleon, who stood next to Elysia. 

They wondered what had happened, and looked at Eleon and Elysia, who were just looking at each other.

The dance floor turned into a mess.
Even the music band stopped playing, and it became quiet in an instant.

     I have to say something.

She should have acted it naturally, but she had already missed the timing. 

She didn’t know what to say.

“Con…congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

Elysia looked around her hastily. 

All the confused eyes were focused on the two of them.

“I danced for too long.
Then I will…….”

Suddenly, her heart felt heavy. 

Feeling out of breath, Elysia ran away from the venue. 

Elysia ran to a quiet terrace and closed the door. 

“Huff, huff.”

Her heart was pounding wildly.

“What did Eleon say just now?”

She couldn’t believe it. 

The woman he was looking for was obviously ‘Rona‘.

「“Someone who will marry me.”」

     Are you going to get married? With Rona? No way. 

Eleon and Rona had nothing to do with each other. 

They were nothing more than master and servant.

“There’s no way.”

She had realized that Eleon was looking for her……

     Could it be Karina? 

After she left the Grand Duchy, several days passed before Eleon regained his sight.

     Perhaps during those days, he had met Karina?

She thought it was reasonable. 

     But then why did he tell me that? Why did he dance with me? 

Karina was also by her side. 

She was barely able to recover after Sabiel suddenly came to visit her.
And she still felt weak.

She danced three songs in a row with Eleon in an unfamiliar dress and felt like she was running out of oxygen.

Elysia tried to take a deep breath. 

It took time for her to reorganize her thoughts.

It was then. 

The door opened.

“Miss Rona?”

When she turned around, Karina was standing there.

“Let’s talk, shall we?

* * * * *

Karina thought that she would get all the limelight.

She learned that she and another lady would be introduced to the debutante after she arrived at the Imperial Palace.

“You should know that in advance.
The Empress was so mean.”

Countess Harrington expressed her displeasure.

If she were presented alone, she would be the only flower wearing only a white dress. 

But she couldn’t relax and carefully examined her dress several times thinking that she should not be as careless as her competitor.

Until that moment, Karina was not very concerned.

The purpose of the young ladies when being presented in society is to receive several marriage proposals.

However, she became deeply acquainted with Sabiel, and it could become a big problem if her flaws were revealed.

The prestige of the family, the honor of the family. 

She has never been asked to do anything as she grew up a free spirit as a baron’s daughter 

Everything she wore, ate, and enjoyed came from Count Harrington, and obviously, she knew she should behave according to her family’s class.

     Since it’s the Imperial Ball, Sabiel will come.

She was so engrossed in arguing with him, who kept avoiding her, that she didn’t care if there was ‘another lady’.

     She is the daughter of the Duke of Yuter?

Rona Hera Palace. 

Before coming to the capital, she said that she was the old woman’s granddaughter of the old woman who came to repay her kindness.

     Am I seeing wrong?

She doubted. 

However, Karina, who grew up in a mountain village with good air, had very good eyesight. 

She looked exactly the same as that woman.

Moreover, she heard from Countess Harrington that the daughter of the Duke of Yuter, Elysia, was a famous priestess in the capital. 

She joined Hadunsha at a young age. 

She became a priest at the age of 13 years old and she turned 20 years old this year. But she was excommunicated not long ago due to memory loss caused by an accident and returned home.

When Karina heard her story, she really thought that she lived only to serve God.

She lived faithfully enough to become the next high priest, but lost her divine power, and returned to being the only daughter of the Duke of Yuter.

“You, don’t you have something to say to me?”

Karina resented her. 

She had been anxiously waiting for days at Cafe Cardinal to meet Rona.

Nevertheless, Karina was tearfully glad to meet her again. 

Because she had something to ask, she desperately wanted to see her again.

“I’m sorry for lying.”

“I see, it was a lie.”

“It wasn’t on purpose.
I lost my memory.
At the time, I was living as Rona.
I remembered something about you, so I went to see you.
After that, I met some priests and my family by chance.”

“Then…..
You still don’t remember? Are you Elysia?”

Elysia nodded. 

It just didn’t seem like a lie. 

At that moment, a certain joy flashed in Karina’s heart.

‘Then the prediction Priestess Elysia gave must be true.

A prediction about her future. 

Although she doesn’t know much about the Great Temple. 

If Elysia remembered Karina’s circumstances even though she had lost the memory of her own life, it was most likely a true oracle bestowed upon her by the Five Gods and Oder. 

“You told me before that my destiny has two routes and that I might regret it.”

“Right.
That’s what I said.”

Karina asked Elysia impatiently.

“It was as you said.
Now I regret it.”

Elysia just stared at her without saying a word.

“I ignored what you said before because I thought it was unreasonable.
I…I thought I made the right choice because you haven’t met him in person.”

Thinking of Sabiel, Karina almost sobbed in anger. 

Karina looked at Elysia with teary eyes.

“Please, please.
Will I have a chance to turn my destiny around? I want to know if I can start over.”

Karina wiped the tears from her eyes with her fingertips.

“Actually, something strange happened when I went to the Cafe Cardinal to find you.”

“What happened?”

“I met a man there.
He was a tall, handsome man.”

Elysia’s expression changed strangely.

“I didn’t know him at the time…… I know who is he now.
He is Grand Duke Clevent.
The man who danced with you a while ago.”

Elysia licked her lips and asked.

“Something strange?”

“Yes.
Bad guys were arguing with me, then he saved me.
But I had a weird feeling.”

Karina remembered that moment.

“It was as if time had stopped.
It felt like we were the only two left in the world.
I didn’t know him, and we only met for a few minutes, and I had the feeling that destiny was whispering to me that he is my……”

Karina was startled when she saw Elysia stumble.

“Oh my, are you alright?”

“Yes.
Actually, I’m feeling well.
I must have been dancing too much.”

Her face was so pale that Karina hesitated. 

Karina felt like she had to do something, so she took off her shawl and handed it to her, but Elysia refused.

“I’m fine.
Lady Karina, your destiny will find its place.”

Karina’s face brightened.

“Oh, thank you.
Thank you so much.
I’m glad to hear those words.”

“You have nothing to thank me for.
Your fate must have guided you here.”

Karina asked, feeling better.

“If you are not feeling well, do you want to lean on me? I’ll walk you to the carriage.”

* * * * *

Elysia was mentally exhausted and didn’t know how she got back home.

“Elysia.
Let’s talk for a second.”

“Tomorrow.
Let’s talk tomorrow please.”

“It’s just a moment.”

She could hear the sound of concern from Mariela from outside the locked door.

But she didn’t want to hear anything today.

“I’m tired.
I’m sorry.”

When the door was not opened, Mariela sighed.

“Sob sob.”

Tears began to fall down her cheeks.

     Why am I crying?

     Why am I sad?

She had so many questions in her head.

It was nothing surprising.
Just before Karina appeared, Elysia thought that there was a possibility that the two had met.

She doesn’t need to be surprised or shocked if they meet.

The original plot is really great.

It happened as it should have happened.

     Then I will soon…….

Her hands and feet became cold at the thought that Sabiel might do something bad to her.

She was happy when she danced with Eleon.

It was a joy and a rewarding to see him with his eyes healed. 

She prayed every day for his sight to come back.

They held hands and danced for a long time under a dazzling light.

Her first dance was a good memory that she will always keep in her heart.

But Elysia thought that he only wanted to arouse Karina’s jealousy. 

As soon as the dance was over, Karina ran towards her wanting to check out her ‘destiny’.

“I thought maybe he knew I was Rona.
That he was looking for me.”

     Can it be a little bit? 

After Eleon regained his sight, she thought it was no longer necessary to be by his side, but maybe it’s not like that. 

She earnestly saved money in case she might lose her job and hoped she would never spend the money.

She hoped to work for a long time in the Grand Duke’s residence. 

She hoped to stay by Eleon’s side. 

She wished he desperately needed her.

So, in this strange world, Won Yoon-Ji hoped to be the reason to live as ‘Rona’.

“I disappeared without saying a word.”

She also wished for that.

“Then why am I crying?”

She desperately tried to get the two of them to meet each other.

What she wanted so much became reality, but she felt something burning inside her. 

The next day, Mariela called Elysia

She had to listen to her nagging for a long time. 

In Yuter’s paradise, where her destiny was enslaved like a curse.

“What happened yesterday?”

“I was so nervous that I couldn’t remember any rules of etiquette.
I’m really sorry.”

Mariela seemed to want to say something. 

She looked at Elysia’s face for a long time, and couldn’t easily bring it up.

“Excuse me, Duchess.
A guest has arrived.”

“What for?”

“He’s looking for Lady Elysia.”

“No one would come to visit Elysia.
If he is from Hadunsha, just send him back.”

“Grand Duke Clevent asks to see Lady Elysia.
I led him into the living room.”

“What? Your Highness the Grand Duke?”

After a while, Elysia quickly changed her dress and headed to the living room with Mrs.
Oze. 

Eleon waved his hand warmly when he saw Elysia.

“How do you feel?”

“…..
I just saw you at the Palace yesterday.
What did you come here for?”

Eleon’s response left her speechless.

“I’m here for tea.”
