I Grabbed The Leash Of The Blind Beast

Chapter 4

Eleon is the best when it comes to being handsome.

He is the most handsome man in this world. It doesnt matter if he can see or not.

I thought he was already cool, but when he was outside among the people, the difference was huge.

But I cant say that Eleon is the most handsome here, can I?

Thats a compliment.

However, seeing Eleon feeling down, I wanted to say something that would make him feel better.

But as a maid, I didnt know if I was allowed to comment on his looks. Its because I havent fully understood the manners here yet.

It would be a problem if I make a mistake and get kicked out of here.

While working at the Grand Dukes residence, Rona saved a considerable amount of money.

This was because Bernard was worried that Rona would quit. He gave her bonuses whenever Eleons condition improved.

If I saved up money for a year, it would be enough to buy a small house on the outskirts of the capital and open a bakery on the first floor.

But wouldnt it be difficult to carry out in just a year?

Eleons eyes will be cured in three days.

Rona is not particularly good at cleaning, nor is she faithful to the etiquette. Except that she didnt run away from him.

Even the head maid quit early because of her age. Thanks to this, the remaining servants now had the same feeling as the army.

When Eleon opens his eyes, there is no reason to continue accepting his sloppy courtesies.

Oh, she is doing her best in her own way, but she is different from the other maids.

She was doing quite well at this point.

Anyway, Rona thought her job as Eleons exclusive maid would soon end.

It would be nice if I could save up a little more.

Still, even this amount of money is enough.

But it was time for Rona to find more ideas.

Shall we go for a walk to digest the food?

He asked.

You went out today, arent you tired?

This is fine.

Rona quickly hurried to eat.

* * * * *

The moonlight shines brightly at night. The spring air at night was cool and pleasant.

Tonight, the moon is big and so bright.

Rona diligently explained the surroundings.

Theres a six-petaled yellow flower, is the size of the palm of a hand.

Eleon nodded as if he had seen the flower.

Thats a flower that blooms only under the moonlight. Its your mothers favorite flower.

Both of them slowly circled the vast garden of the residence.

The garden between the main gate and the mansion was small. However, behind the mansion, there was a small hill.

It was possible to take a walk without having to go outside the mansion.

It was when I turned the corner on the path that led to the garden. A faint light could be seen through the bushes on the edge of the trimmed garden.

Rona sneakily walked away from Eleon and lowered her body a bit to look at it.

Its still good.

A mysterious herb that will cure Eleons eyes. Checking the grasss condition every time she goes for a walk has been one of Ronas main routines these days.

What really happened to Karina?

After today, Rona felt a little hopeless because there were only two days left.

What are you looking at?

We..weeds, but strangely, flowers are blooming too. Even in the weeds.haha.

She quickly returned to his side.

Eleon could walk alone without his cane, keeping a constant distance from Rona.

He could notice right away whenever Rona left his side.

There are so many flowers here, its fascinating.

Thats a relief. Because of me, you couldnt go outside.

Oh no, what do you mean? My Lord!

Rona got serious.

Im your most faithful servant.

Still, I only went to a cafe, and Bernard scolded me. It seems like there were a lot of interesting places outside.

Thats right. But, its clearly not because its boring to serve you or anything like that. It was just curiosity.

Is there another place you want to go?

Eleon asked softly.

What does it matter where I want to go? My Lord should go wherever you want to go.

I cant see, so youll tell me what you see anyway.

Well, then lets go to Trappel Park!

Rona wasnt an idiot for turning down the opportunity.

Trappel Park was near the Counts residence, where Karina live.

As soon as I answered, he smiled softly.

Okay. Ill take you tomorrow.

Huh, really? Dont take it back!

She couldnt hide her joy. Eleon, you are such a great boss. Rona started walking again with more excitement.

Whats wrong?

Eleon, who was keeping his distance, stopped walking.

By the way, Ive never walked escorting a lady.

Is that so?

If we go to the park tomorrow, wont it be crowded?

Eleon stretched out his hand to me.

Shall we practice?

Rona glanced at his large hand extended to her.

Are you going to escort me?

Yes. I dont want to attract other peoples attention when I go to crowded places. I want it to be natural.

Yes.

Rona gently placed her hand on his.

However, after a few steps, the stride didnt fit due to the difference in height and the humiliating leg length.

Rather, it was only when Rona fell and walked at her will, and Eleon felt her footsteps and followed her behind.

Its escort.

Rona has always been by his side, since he never went out of the residence, let alone socialized.

So I had never seen how to properly escort.

Isnt this better if you want to go naturally in the park?

Rona raised her hand, tapped his arm with her finger so that he would not be startled, and climbed up to his elbow and crossed her arm with his.

Flinch.

Rona felt his body stiffen even though she had tapped his arm, so she excused herself without realizing it.

I think this is more natural. Youre tall and your steps are longer than mine.

I see.

Are you uncomfortable? Is this position better?

Eleon didnt answer right away.

It was just when Rona was just about to get her hand out of his arm. But he carefully covered the back of her hand with his large hand.

This is better.

She smiled with great satisfaction.

Then lets try walking again. I think its hard to keep the pace.

The two of them, who had stood still for a while, slowly matched their feet and walked between the flower paths in the middle of the night.

Rona felt happy.

I cant believe Im going to Trappel Park.

It was unimaginable just a few days ago that Eleon could leave the mansion. It felt like a whole new world had opened up.

I need to finish the stroll soon and make a plan.

Then I have to send Eleon first, then go alone and find Karina.

She couldnt wait to finish this. However, Eleon with his arms crossed, was walking slower than usual, and that was frustrating her.

* * * * *

Since dawn, there has been a lot of commotion.

This is because Eleon suddenly said he was going to have a picnic in Trappel Park.

Bernard got up early and did everything in his power to prepare the Grand Dukes picnic.

Rona admired the enormous basket that the butler prepared for them.

Wow. I really dont know what to say about this.

To put it simply, it was prepared evenly, and to be honest, it was like opening a buffet.

Recognizing Ronas admiration as a compliment, Bernard shrugged his shoulders.

Thats how much it should be for My Lord, me and Ms. Rona, and the knights, too.

Oh, I see.

That was it.

Only me and Rona will go.

Eleon said it lowly.

What?

I will entrust the mansion to you. Youre the only one I can trust.

His cold words made Bernard cry.

I dont like it. I also want to see His Majesty eat this lunch box under the bright sunlight.

Stop it.

From Ronas point of view, Bernard was his fan.

Lets go all together.

That way, even if Rona slips away, Eleon will be able to go home safely.

But unexpectedly, Eleon remained the same.

I dont want to drag my servants and guards around just because Im blind.

That was a good reason. It could attract peoples attention.

Then its okay if we all go together but Bernard stays away, right?

Eleon stubbornly shuts his mouth.

Its going to be just the two of us eating alone.

Eleon nodded reluctantly.

The butler, happy to be able to go to Trappell Park together, grabbed Ronas hand and shook it.

Rona felt like she had done a very good job, seeing the butler happy.

***

When we arrived at Trappel Park, the sun was shining so brightly.

It was a familiar feeling for Eleon. When he was training for the Knights Templar, it was most often under the scorching sun.

Wow, its spring, but its hotter than I thought.

Every shade of the wide green park was crowded with people enjoying the spring.

And there are a lot of people.

Rona quickly found an empty space and set up a mat.

It was better to walk along the road, but it was the first time she had walked over the lawn in this way.

In the absence of a road, Eleon seemed a little bit confused even after having practiced yesterday.

Please sit here.

Thank you.

When Eleon sat down on the picnic mat, the butler and the knights put down the picnic basket they had been carrying around.

Then Ill step back.

After seeing the Grand Duke go out for the first time in a long time, Bernard wipes away his tears with a handkerchief, pretending to be wiping off his sweat.

Do you want me to fan you?

No, its okay.

The shade was cool and the weather was very nice.

This is the spring season, so there is no rain.

It was a pleasant air similar to the autumn weather in Korea.

Whooing.

Then, I heard an unusual flapping sound.

Rona turned her head in the direction of the sound.

Thats crazy!

A large wasp, which looked longer than my index finger, was trying to stick to Eleons head, showing a clear and grotesque figure as if it had been painted with car spray.

Avoid it! My Lord!

It seemed to be a first-class crisis. Rona smacked the huge wasp with her fan, which had been folded up.

Pak!

But the bee flew towards the picnic mat of the girls sitting on the other side, who were drawing.

Arghh!

Suddenly an uproar was heard, but Ronas attention was focused on Eleon.

Are you okay?

She was trying to look at Eleon. Instead, she stepped on the hem of her own skirt.

Yes, yes!

Unexpectedly, her body leaned towards him.

Flop.

And in an instant, her body was on top of his.
