Saviel was satisfied with the outcome. When he received a report that the blind duke was falling into despair and living like a beast, he spent a fortune to spread rumors about the ‘Blind Beast’ throughout the empire. The rumors about the fallen hero grew day by day. Saviel took pleasure in transforming Eileon from a ‘being to be revered’ to a ‘poor guy’.
No more petitions about Eileon are coming to the emperor. The gaze that awkwardly insists that Saviel should not inherit the name of ‘Oder’ has disappeared.
In a word, Saviel was enjoying life these days.
“But it’s oddly annoying.”
He had no intention of provoking Eileon that much in a place with watchful eyes.
However, seeing Eileon softly handling dress fabrics under the bright sun made him feel sick.
He had been thrown into a pit, but wasn’t he already sticking his head out?
He looked stable and happy. That’s right. Astonishingly, the emotions frozen on his face were satisfaction and happiness.
Yet I’ve never been happy or satisfied, but you are.
“I should have seen that woman’s face.”
It would have been a great gossip if Eileon Clevent, who was so noble, blinded and clung to a lowly woman.
Saviel called his aide.
“Did you call?”
“There is a woman with Eileon Clevent.”
Even the aide opened his eyes wide. Eileon was so famous for being distant from women. He was even called an impregnable fortress among the capital’s ladies because no one had ever succeeded in dating him.
“Look into it. Who she is. Which family’s young lady she is. Maybe she could be a commoner.”
“I will take your command.”
Saviel picked up his wine glass.
Every time he remembered Eileon’s smiling face, his insides seemed to twist.
That night, no matter how much Saviel drank, he couldn’t get drunk.
The incident happened in the middle of the night.
“Ahhh!”
Everyone in the duke’s house woke up at Eileon’s painful scream. The first thing that Rona, who ran to his room, saw was Eileon in pain, with blood smeared around his eyes.
Bright, clean bedspreads and pillows had clear bloodstains left by the blood vessels.
“Ah! My eyes!”
Eileon, as if he couldn’t bear it for a moment, selfharmed around his eyes with his hands.
Rona couldn’t gather her senses. It was her first time seeing someone in so much pain.
“Step aside, Miss Rona.”
In front of her, trembling in surprise, stood a butler and a few servants.
“There should still be some unnamed cloth. Go get it.”
Bernard calmly tried to give Eileon a sedative.
“Uh, uh, uh.”
But because the strength difference was so great, when he tried to stabilize Eileon’s head, his arm wrapped around his neck was bitten hard.
Drip.
Blood seeped onto the sleeve of the butler’s white shirt and fell to the floor in a matter of seconds. When those who had gone to get the long cloth returned, they immediately tied Eileon to the bed so he couldn’t move.
It was a miserable scene. Rona, shocked by the brutal and violent scene, covered her mouth with her hand and shed tears. It felt like the butlers and men moving so skillfully, dividing roles dispassionately, had become so proficient in just a day or two.
“Ah, ah, ah.”
The butler skillfully shoved a towel, rolled up like a ball, into Eileon’s mouth.
“Uh, ugh!”
Every time Eileon convulsed and twisted his body, the bed frame creaked as if it was about to break.
The butler, who had torn the remaining white cloth long to stop the bleeding from Eileon’s bitten arm, called Rona.
“Let’s talk for a moment, Miss Rona.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]There was an enormous amount of work to be done in the Duke’s house.
Bernard, with his superior abilities and relatively young age and short career, became the butler of the Duke’s house at an early age. As there was no mistress to control the Duke’s house yet, the household chores he had to take care of were endless.
He had an office where he took care of various other things besides his bedroom. In the butler’s office where Rona had come for an interview at the Duke’s mansion, she was just staring at the teacup placed in front of her.
“You must be very surprised.”
“…Yes.”
Rona rubbed her cold and stinging hands that seemed to be without blood.
“Are you not surprised, Butler?”
He also looked pale unlike usual. In addition, his arm, which was treated by cutting the sleeve with scissors, was bitten so hard that it took a while for the bleeding to stop and the blood had just stopped.
“It’s something that happened quite often.”
Worry was visible in the butler’s eyes as he spoke calmly.
“Something like this… happened often? It’s my first time seeing it.”
If it was something that Illeon often experienced, it couldn’t be the first time Rona saw it.
“That’s before Miss Rona started working at the mansion. Much earlier.”
Remembering the past, Bernard’s eyes reddened.
“Every time the Duke received treatment for his eyes, he felt terrible pain.”
Rona’s eyes widened. It seemed hard for Bernard just to think about it. Unlike the calm treatment of the Duke tied to the bed, the butler looked very distressed.
Illeon returned to the mansion with his eyes injured from the last battle. It was not that he ran around like a beast from the start. Rather, Illeon, who was armed with chivalry to his bones, is said to have been distressed that he himself, the knight captain, had dimmed the light of victory dedicated to the empire.
So, he tried all sorts of things, including medicine and food, to treat his eyes.
That’s when this symptom started.
“He said it felt like his eyeballs were being torn from the inside. He also said it felt like his eyes were burning.”
Terrible pain struck Illeon. Despite suffering from pain almost every day for several months, Illeon did not give up on regaining his eyes.
In the end, he was able to escape from the endless pain after trying all the last methods he could. But it was not peace. The man who couldn’t find a way to go back to the way he was, was frustrated.
“It was hard to watch the Duke wanting to tear his eyes out with his own hands because of the pain more than not being able to see in front.”
Moreover, every day was a torment of hope. Will the medicine not work? Won’t this treatment be effective? Just hold on one more time. If only one could never taste this pain like a long tunnel again.
A thin tear fell from the corner of the butler’s eye, who served his master like the sky.
Rona felt as if she was dying from heartache.
“Ask the butler. There must be a document that summarizes the herbs used for treatment. If there is something you haven’t tried, drink it.”
Illeon, who had emphasized ‘something you haven’t tried’ for some reason, came to mind. He wouldn’t dare to take the medicine he had taken knowing that it would cause terrible pain again. She understood why he had carefully recorded it.
“Don’t expect too much. If it’s something Rona brought, I’ll try to drink it anyway.”
Was it so hard for him to drink what I gave him? Do you trust me blindly not knowing what I will feed him?
“What exactly is the medicine you gave to the Duke?”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
