I Grabbed The Leash Of The Blind Beast

Chapter 18

GRASP

Someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Ouch!

Rona let out a moan when someone grabbed her so violently.

What?

She frowned and looked back.

But she froze when she turned to the one who was holding her wrist tightly.

The woman in a white robe was a beauty with mature eyes.

Her red hair draped to the side of the worn hood, looked like she had bleached her hair tips white.

Rona looked at her unusual and unfamiliar appearance.

She tried to shake her off right away and yell at her why she was doing this.

But the woman twisted her wrists with both hands, trembling so hard that her fingers turned white.

Rona looked at her with a blank expression on her face.

Because she could see in her face a complex swirl of longing and surprise, joy and sorrow.

Perhaps? Maybe she knows the owner of this body?

Hey, do you know me?

Why is she doing this?

Rona stuttered and asked.

Then the woman answered in a trembling voice, and tears fell from her eyes.

Ah, Lady. Im Iris. me me .

Rona didnt know what to say.

She was shocked and a little tired.

She could neither empathize with her nor comfort her.

Anyway, I have no memory of the borrowed body at all.

Still, I was always curious and wanted to know.

With no identification card, it was difficult for Rona to live here.

And finding your family could give her strength to live here since she cant go back to her original world anymore.

Oh, how did you forget me? me .

The woman was in shock and disappointment.

She was still holding her wrists as if Rona was going to run away.

Iris stood there, crying as if she had become a pillar.

Meanwhile, two men in white robes approached.

One was a young man in his late twenties, who seemed to be a little older than Eleon.

The other seemed to be about the same age as Iris.

They had long brown hair, but like Iris, the tips of their hair were white.

Elysia?

Elysia.

They, too, looked at Rona in great shock.

They saw her standing there without a reaction, neither approaching her nor saying anything. Iris said with tears in her eyes.

She had forgotten about me.

What?

The older mans expression hardened, and the younger man looked at Rona with an angry expression.

We shouldnt be doing this, lets move somewhere else.

One by one, eyes began to gather on the street. Rona nodded her head.

* * * * *

Hadunsha is the sanctuary of the Great Temple located in the capital.

Only those who can hear the voice of God can become priests, and they are educated from a very young age.

The Constance Empire was founded by knights with the backing of five gods to protect the first emperor and prevent catastrophe.

After the death of Emperor Oder, the gods directly gave an oracle and influenced human lives in small and large ways.

The children enrolled in Hadunsha were different from the moment they were born.

It wasnt something parents could teach them.

Because God exists, his voice is heard, and he guides you to Hadunsha.

You will enter Hadunsha under the guidance of God.

Have you heard the voice of God?

Emperor Oder is said to have left a secret as a testament to the first high priest, which has been passed down from generation to generation.

Only the High Priests knew about it.

The children who come to Hadunsha must say the passphrase that they heard from the gods, and it must match what the High Priest knows to enter Hadunsha.

Elysia Yuter joined Hadunsha when she was three years old and had been selected as a strong candidate for the next high priest.

She was a celebrity in many ways.

She was, first of all, from a noble family, and was the only daughter of Duke Juter, and she was a great beauty.

After she completed training and became a priest, the congregation burst into tears at every prayer she offered.

But what was even more surprising than Elysias beauty was her high holy sensitivity.

Believers shed tears, repenting of their sins and misdeeds.

People came to see her out of curiosity and left as faithful believers.

It was rare for a child of a noble family to join Hadunsha.

Even if Gods voice was heard, that doesnt necessarily mean you have to become a priest.

The fact that the dukes only daughter joined Hadunsha itself was a hot topic.

Am I Elysia?

As soon as she blinked, Rona wanted to cancel the question.

She understood that she might look like Elysia.

But every time they saw her, tears fell from their eyes, then happiness and sometimes sadness.

As if she were dead.

They looked like they were all going to cry at the same time.

Rona felt like a villain after making so many people cry.

She felt sorry for nothing.

Rona got up from where she was sitting, and everyones eyes turned to her.

I, um Im not Elysia, I have to go back.

Iris looked like she was about to faint.

Where are you going! Lady, youre going to stay here.

I may not be Elysia.

The priest brothers, Roben and Esho, along with Iris were embarrassed.

I bet my divine power that you are Elysia.

Me also.

Then something amazing happened.

A small spark flashed like a halo behind the heads of the two brothers.

Rona stared at them in surprise.

While Iris sighed deeply when she saw Ronas expression as if it was the first time she had seen something like that.

I really dont remember.

Rona nodded eagerly.

Then she noticed that the sun was setting.

Eleon must be worried.

His seizures should have stopped by now.

She decided to go back home.

I want chocolate. The one sold at Caf Cardinal.

The chocolate bag she was still holding was soggy from the sweat from her hands.

Eleon said he wanted to eat it.

Ill go quickly, Sir Eleon.

I said Id buy it soon.

I had a feeling that these people were not going to let me go easily.

They kept the door closed because they were afraid she would run away.

Then why dont I go back today and we meet again tomorrow to talk?

They were once again stunned and not sure what to do.

Where are you going? This is where Lady Elysia should be!

Suddenly, Iris screamed as if she couldnt stand it.

BANG!

The door swung open and a middle-aged woman rushed into the room.

She was a woman with golden hair and purple eyes.

Rona felt an indescribable attraction to her.

The womans appearance was very similar to her.

As soon as the woman saw her, she burst into tears and hugged her tightly.

Oh, dear, my sweetheart!.. heh heh how do you .

Her eyes met those of the sobbing woman, touching and examining her head, face, and body.

Then a thought occurred to me.

Am I the Elysia these people are looking for?

She felt a certain bond with that woman.

Rona sighed.

She came to this world without a place to lean on, or a single straw in her hand, let alone a rope.

She felt a little sorry for her Eleon, who was waiting for her.

But they didnt seem willing to let her go easily.

Its not so bad to look for her family. nove(l)bi(n.)com

On the contrary, it was good.

Is there any proof that I am Elysia?

* * * * *

The pain that was tormenting Eleon has subsided.

He was screaming until his throat burst, but he caught his breath again.

He really felt like he was going to die this time.

He wondered if the pain was alive or had an ego.

It was gnawing at Eleons eyes, and when he felt the pain go away, it hurt again.

He tried not to show it, but he was a little nervous because he had never been sick for this long.

Wouldnt I always say that Id rather die in front of Rona?

Rona blamed herself for making the medicine wrong just because he was in pain.

If Eleon wanted to die because he was sick, he thought that Rona might die before him.

How are you feeling?

Bernard asked.

Im thirsty.

Bernard took a small teapot with a short snout and brought it to his mouth.

Its strange. Youve never been sick this long.

Is it because of that? Could this be the herb Ive been looking for?

A medicinal tea that makes the pain last for days.

Since I drank it once, I have suffered for six days.

So I focused on the difference from the other medicines.

After taking a long breath, Eleon asked.

And Rona?
