I Got Engaged to a Blind Duke Episode 158

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whoosh!

 

Once again, the sound of cutting through the air rang out as flower stems flew fiercely toward them.

 

Thud. Marine quickly pulled out her notebook and began reading a fairy tale.

 

“Is there truly no one more beautiful than I in this world? At the Prince’s soliloquy, the Princess glared coldly at the Prince. The Prince was smiling brightly. The Princess slowly parted her lips. Your Highness, you are…”

 

Marine slowly read through the fairy tale while praying to the flowers visible before her eyes.

 

Sleep. Just sleep. Don’t do anything and just sleep.

 

Do plants even sleep? She didn’t know about that.

 

But if it was a Demon Flower emotional enough to plan revenge, wouldn’t it sleep too?

 

Marine repeatedly read through the fairy tale while glancing down at Bunny Bunny.

 

Little rabbit. You sleep well too.

 

Bunny Bunny’s eyelids, which had been half-open and wheezing, slowly closed. It seemed to have fallen asleep.

 

As she continued reading the fairy tale while observing her surroundings, the flower stems’ attacks had stopped at some point.

 

Had it worked?

 

She could see the Duke stopping mid-fight and looking back at her with surprised eyes.

 

Marine sent him an encouraging look as if to say he should trust only her.

 

He chuckled softly and focused on the fight again.

 

While she stopped reading the fairy tale to survey the surroundings, the flower stems’ attacks resumed.

 

When she glanced down, Bunny Bunny was also making groaning sounds while its eyelids trembled.

 

She couldn’t rest for even a moment.

 

Marine began reading the fairy tale again.

 

 

 

Gerald glanced at her reading the fairy tale, then turned his head forward again to look at the Demon Flowers.

 

He had thought it strange that the Demon Flowers’ attacks were gradually decreasing, but it coincided with the time she was reading the fairy tale.

 

Could it be that when she read fairy tales, even demons fell asleep?

 

It was already amazing that she could put people to sleep, but she had such a special ability?

 

But why wasn’t he falling asleep? Could she specify who could fall asleep?

 

Countless questions arose in his mind and then subsided.

 

The boss Demon Flower’s attacks had also become sluggish, but they were still sharp.

 

If Marine could really put demons to sleep, he had to finish the attack within that time.

 

Gerald dodged the flying petals again and struck down at the flower stem.

 

He had been able to cut the flower stem of the previous boss Demon Flower in one blow, but this boss didn’t have a single scratch even when he surrounded it with aura.

 

But Gerald didn’t give up and kept hitting the same spot. His sword was now being used like an axe.

 

As he avoided the flying petals and kept hitting only the same spot, it began to chip away little by little.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

Screeeech-

 

The boss Demon Flower made an ear-piercing sound as if trying to interfere with Marine’s voice.

 

The flower stems that had been sprawled near Marine slowly writhed.

 

Marine’s face turned pale as she raised her voice higher and continued reading the fairy tale.

 

He had to finish quickly.

 

Gerald gathered all the energy he could extract from his body to create the strongest aura. The vividly glowing aura extended to one meter.

 

“Let’s end this.”

 

Gerald, floating in the air, struck down at the flower stem with all his might.

 

Thwack!

 

The boss’s flower stem bent helplessly to the side.

 

“Marine! Close your eyes-!!!”

 

Like last time, it might shoot poison again.

 

The moment Gerald shouted that, something liquid shot into his mouth.

 

He quickly closed his lips, but it was already too late.

 

Was it poison again?

 

What kind of poison was it this time?

 

“Marine, are you alri…”

 

The words didn’t come out completely.

 

The stinging sensation felt on his tongue gradually became duller. It was hardening more and more.

 

Gerald slowly lifted his eyelids.

 

In his field of vision, he could see the Demon Flowers withered and collapsed. This time too, when the boss died, they all seemed to have died together.

 

“Gerald, are you alright?”

 

Gerald walked toward Marine.

 

Since he couldn’t speak, he planned to signal that he was okay with his hands at least.

 

But with each step he took, his legs became numb. Marine in the distance also gradually became blurry.

 

Damn it. Was this poison making him lose all five senses?

 

Gerald couldn’t reach Marine’s vicinity and eventually his legs stiffened, causing him to collapse on the floor.

 

He could see the sky straight ahead. The blue sky gradually changed to gray as if losing its color.

 

Before, his sight had disappeared all at once, but this time it changed slowly as if torturing him.

 

He hoped the last thing he saw would be Marine.

 

“Gerald!”

 

He could hear the sound of surprised Marine running over.

 

Come just a little faster. I want to capture you in my eyes at the end.

 

He wanted to turn his head at least, but even his neck had stiffened and wouldn’t move.

 

“Gerald!”

 

Finally Marine approached him and lowered her head. He could see her face filled with tears.

 

Even in a world that had turned completely gray, only Marine had a slightly special color. She was beautiful.

 

Ah, thank goodness.

 

He wanted to raise his hand to wipe away her tears, but he couldn’t move at all.

 

“What’s wrong? Where does it hurt? Please say something.”

 

Marine grabbed his collar and shook him.

 

He wanted to tell her not to cry.

 

Even when he tried to open his mouth, it wouldn’t move.

 

“Could it be that you can’t speak?”

 

Gerald blinked his eyes. Fortunately, his eyelids still worked properly.

 

He could see Marine’s eyes widen.

 

“Don’t tell me, is it poison again?”

 

Gerald blinked his eyes slowly.

 

“Your body won’t move either? You have no sensation in your body?”

 

He could see Marine tapping his chest, but he couldn’t feel it at all.

 

Gerald slowly blinked his eyes again. His eyelids seemed to be gradually stiffening too.

 

“Can you hear what I’m saying?”

 

Gerald struggled to lift his eyelids again, then lowered them.

 

“What about scent? Can you smell anything?”

 

Marine brought her arm to his nose. He couldn’t smell any fragrance. Her scent had always excited him.

 

Gerald blinked his eyes again.

 

“So you can’t do anything except hear right now?”

 

Marine asked with a horrified face, tears streaming down.

 

The Duke struggled to lift his eyes as if trying to blink, then closed his eyes as they were.

 

“Gerald!”

 

Marine grabbed his hand with tears welling up in her eyes.

 

The large hand that had been wrapped around her wrist was as hard as a piece of wood.

 

When she felt around his body here and there, his body had also turned hard as stone.

 

“Why, why!”

 

Marine was shaking the Duke when she noticed a single tear falling from the corner of his eye, and she burst into tears.

 

“I’ll, I’ll save you. Don’t worry.”

 

Marine whispered softly in the Duke’s ear and gripped his hand tightly.

 

She thought everything would be over once their hearts were connected, but the Duke was poisoned again by the Demon Flower’s attack.

 

There was no such content in the original story. She could no longer rely on the original and had to find a way herself.

 

Marine hastily wiped away her tears and jumped up from her spot.

 

Since she had treated the Duke’s eyes with Mandelesong, she might be able to treat him the same way this time.

 

Marine searched the surroundings thoroughly.

 

As darkness fell over the forest, she created fire with her bracelet and searched around more.

 

But then, a long shadow fell behind her.

 

Marine felt her heart sink.

 

Thinking it might be another demon beast, she gripped her Three-Section Staff tightly and spun around.

 

And what she faced was a completely unexpected being.

 

“Rabbit!”

 

Bunny Bunny was standing behind her, munching on something.

 

Looking at the stomach and shoulder that had been pierced by the Demon Flower, the flesh was about half healed. Who knew demon beasts had such good recovery abilities.

 

“Are you okay?”

 

Bunny Bunny blinked as if to say it was fine.

 

Though it couldn’t understand her words exactly, it seemed to know by feeling.

 

“I need to find Mandelesong flowers right now. Do you happen to know where any are?”

 

Bunny Bunny tilted its head to the side and blinked its big eyes. It was cute, but not helpful.

 

Marine pointed to a nearby withered and twisted Demon Flower while making a small flower bud shape with her hands.

 

“Something like this. But not big ones, small ones. About the size of my hand.”

 

Bunny Bunny still blinked as if it didn’t understand.

 

“Sigh. It’s okay if you don’t understand, rabbit. Sister will find it herself. Keep resting.”

 

Marine again shone the fire around the floor here and there.

 

But Bunny Bunny, who had been standing behind her, suddenly hopped away to one side.

 

A moment later, Bunny Bunny reappeared, munching on something.

 

What was sticking out of the rabbit’s mouth was a flower.

 

It looked exactly like Mandelesong, but each petal was a different color.

 

Marine opened her eyes wide and pointed at the flower.

 

“This! Where was this?”
