I Got Engaged to a Blind Duke Episode 153

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marine pulled her head back again and looked carefully into his eyes while sniffling.

 

“Can you see me?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Gerald smiled warmly as he spoke.

 

“How many is this?”

 

Marine held up two fingers.

 

“Two.”

 

“Waah, you can really see!”

 

Marine threw her arms around his neck again and burst into tears.

 

Thank goodness. It was really such a relief.

 

She had been so worried that he might not be able to see forever without the Female Protagonist. Just thinking about it made her heart sink.

 

But now he could see.

 

“But did your eye color change because of Zeromian’s medicine too?”

 

“No. Zero said his medicine couldn’t change eye color. My eye color started changing little by little after I applied the Mandelesong.”

 

“Ah…”

 

The Female Protagonist had made a perfect medicine to heal his eyes, but since she had used Mandelesong unconventionally, it seemed she couldn’t restore his original eye color.

 

Marine looked at him again and smiled brightly.

 

“Your changed eye color is beautiful too.”

 

“You’re the only one who says that.”

 

His lips softened gently.

 

“It’s the truth.”

 

Marine spoke sincerely with wide eyes.

 

“You’re beautiful too.”

 

“Oh, oh, that’s…”

 

Marine was surprised by his words and shyly lowered her eyes.

 

“I love you.”

 

Her heart raced wildly at his low voice.

 

He’s coming at me like this? I’m not mentally prepared yet.

 

Marine rolled her eyes around with a flustered expression, then made up her mind.

 

I already confessed, so what’s there to be embarrassed about?

 

Marine took a deep breath and lifted her head. Looking into his deep gray eyes made everything feel easy.

 

“Me too. I love you too.”

 

So these words could come out this easily.

 

Marine screamed internally as she released her arms from around his neck and covered her face that had turned pink.

 

Gerald hugged her tightly again and spoke with a regretful voice.

 

“Marine.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“We need to start moving again now.”

 

“Weren’t we going to sleep here?”

 

“No. I think it would be better to quickly get out of the desert and rest somewhere safe.”

 

“Yes. I understand.”

 

She nodded as if she agreed too.

 

Gerald carefully lifted Marine, who was as light as a feather, and smiled slightly.

The early dawn sky gradually brightened and was tinged with a subtle purple.

 

Looking down, Marine was sleeping peacefully in his arms. Her comfortable sleeping face was breathtakingly lovely.

 

Did Marine really need to walk? It seemed like a good idea to carry her around like this every time.

 

Marine’s legs wouldn’t hurt, and he could always keep her close.

 

Gerald was contentedly imagining the future when he stared straight ahead.

 

Far in the distance, he could see the Sairan Desert Entrance. Once they got past that place, it would be the Western Region.

 

As he picked up speed, he saw groups blocking the entrance ahead.

 

Gerald gradually slowed down and carefully called Marine.

 

“Marine.”

 

“Mmm.”

 

She had been burrowing deeper into his arms like she was being fussy about sleeping, but when he called her once more, her eyes snapped open.

 

“Oh, did I sleep?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“I’m sorry. I was the only one sleeping well…”

 

Marine looked at him nervously with a dejected face.

 

Gerald smiled slightly.

 

“It’s fine as long as you slept comfortably. There’s something more important than that.”

 

“What is it?”

 

“We’ll reach the entrance soon.”

 

“Really?”

 

Marine stretched her neck and looked to the side, but it seemed nothing was visible to her.

 

“I can’t see anything.”

 

“You’ll see it in a little while. But it seems the 3rd Prince noticed and is guarding the entrance.”

 

“What should we do?”

 

Marine’s eyes immediately darkened.

 

“Marine, do you know the boundary of the desert entrance?”

 

Marine thought for a moment, then spoke.

 

“Where the dirt road of the entrance changes to the sand road of the desert?”

 

“Right. While I deal with his Knights, absolutely don’t look back and just go to that dirt road. They can’t cross that boundary without permission from me, the Western Duke.”

 

“By myself? I don’t want to. I don’t want to leave Gerald’s side anymore.”

 

Gerald swallowed a groan.

 

This adorable woman’s words were powerful. His heart pounded rapidly at her heart-fluttering words. He didn’t want to let her go either.

 

“When we return to the Duke’s Castle, even if you want to leave, I won’t let you go, so just follow my words this once. I don’t want to put you in danger.”

 

When he looked down at Marine with earnest eyes, she spoke as if she had no choice.

 

“Alright.”

 

“Absolutely don’t look back and go to that place. You understand, right? The signal is ‘Temporary.'”

 

“Yes.”

 

Marine nodded with determined eyes.

 

Gerald gradually slowed down and slowly approached near the entrance.

 

Marine must have finally spotted the Knights too, as he could feel her breathing rapidly in surprise.

 

The 3rd Prince and ten Knights were standing in a line, completely blocking the narrow path to the entrance.

 

There were now less than ten steps left between them.

 

“Sweetie, where are you hurt?”

 

The 3rd Prince asked in a worried voice.

 

“I’m not.”

 

Marine slowly shook her head while gripping Gerald’s shirt tightly.

 

“Then why are you being held by that bastard? Come here.”

 

The 3rd Prince extended his hand with a sweet voice.

 

“I’m not going.”

 

Marine answered with a firm voice.

 

Gerald glanced down at her and smiled with satisfaction.

 

The 3rd Prince observed this scene with sharp eyes.

 

Gerald raised his head, and his cold gaze clashed with the 3rd Prince’s in midair.

 

“I’m glad I came here just in case. Were you from the Western Region?”

 

Gerald saw no reason to answer and ignored the 3rd Prince’s words as he set Marine down.

 

Marine stood right next to Gerald and looked directly at the 3rd Prince.

 

She didn’t like that so many people were confronting each other because of her.

 

“Your Highness, please step aside.”

 

“Sweetie. If I was going to step aside obediently, would I have been guarding this place?”

 

Despite his playful tone, his eyes looked sad.

 

“Why are you going this far?”

 

“Isn’t it obvious? Because I don’t want to lose you.”

 

When their eyes met, the 3rd Prince smiled gently and extended his hand again.

 

“Sweetie, take my hand. I’ll grant you anything you want.”

 

“What I want is just one thing – for Your Highness to step aside.”

 

Tan’s black eyes darkened ominously.

 

The 3rd Prince took a step toward her. His gaze was focused solely on her.

 

“Sweetie, you know what? I was someone who had no desire for life. But for the first time, something I want appeared. Shouldn’t I have it then?”

 

Tan smiled so brightly it was chilling.

 

Marine looked at him with pitying eyes.

 

Gerald hid her behind him, blocking the 3rd Prince’s view.

 

“Could you move aside a bit? I can’t see Sweetie.”

 

Tan spoke in a playful tone while raising his sword and swinging it around.

 

“You’re the one who should move.”

 

“I know you’re good at combat, but wouldn’t it be overwhelming to face all these people at once?”

 

At Tan’s words, one corner of Gerald’s lips curved up.

 

“We’ll see about that.”

 

The tense standoff between the two men was brief, as the surrounding knights drew their swords.

 

Marine watched them with an anxious expression.

 

“Temporary.”

 

The moment the signal was given, Gerald rushed forward and his sword slashed the shoulder of the knight in front of him.

 

Marine clenched her fists and followed the path he had created for her.

 

“Sweetie!”

 

Tan’s voice could be heard right nearby, but Marine only looked straight ahead and ran.

 

Clang clang clang. The sharp sound of clashing swords echoed from all directions.

 

Marine deliberately ignored her surroundings and continued moving forward. The sandy ground ended and finally she could see the dirt road.

 

It was the boundary the Duke had mentioned.

 

As she stepped on the dirt road and looked back, Gerald’s broad back was protecting her.

 

When Gerald raised his sword high, white aura burst from the blade and rippled.

 

As he drew a line on the boundary ground, a deep furrow about a meter wide was carved between the desert sand and the dirt road.

 

“Anyone who crosses over here dies.”

 

At his cold warning, the knights who had been cut and stabbed here and there turned pale. Fortunately, no one had died yet.

 

Only after clashing swords did they realize that he had deliberately not killed them.

 

When Tan tried to cross that furrow without hesitation, a knight ran over to stop him.

 

[“You cannot.”]

 

[“Let go.”]

 

[“From here on is the Oman Empire.”]

 

[“Let go!”]

 

“I’ll consider the debt for saving Marine repaid by sparing your lives now. For reference, if you ignore my words and cross over, I’ll kindly behead you.”

 

Gerald delivered his final warning sharply.
