I Got Engaged to a Blind Duke Episode 92

* * *

The carriage was surprisingly comfortable. It was thanks to Surenne taking her measurements and incorporating them.

On the other hand, the Duke, who was taller and larger than her, looked somewhat uncomfortable.

“Are you alright?”

“Are you okay?”

Until he asked, she had been so absorbed in the vivid scenery of the carriage that she had forgotten about her own trauma.

First of all, the diamond carriage didn’t feel like a carriage at all.

It felt like being inside a 3D movie theater.

She couldn’t even hear the horses’ neighing, as if it had been soundproofed. Most of all, the characteristic vibrations of a carriage were completely absent.

“It’s as comfortable as being on a bed, isn’t it?”

“That’s a relief.”

The Duke said, twisting his waist slightly as if uncomfortable.

“Gerald, you look uncomfortable.”

“I’ll have to tell them to make the next carriage bigger than this one.”

“What kind of gemstone carriage will you make next?”

Marine asked with a playful smile.

“What gemstone would you like?”

“Why are you asking me?”

“Because it’s a carriage you’ll be using.”

“What? This one is enough for me.”

“Think about it as one for us to ride together. This one is a bit small.”

Marine stared intently at the Duke.

After the debutante ball, their engagement would end, so it was strange that he was talking about the future.

Somehow, one side of her chest felt ticklish, and her mood kept sinking and rising unpredictably.

“Marine?”

“Yes.”

“What are you thinking about by yourself again?”

“Nothing. I’m sleepy, so I’ll sleep a bit.”

Marine looked away from the Duke’s face and closed her eyes. She could still feel the texture of the sleeping pill in her hand, but she felt like she could fall asleep just like this.

“You sleep so well without even a fairy tale book.”

“I’m not a child.”

“I’m not a child either.”

“Gerald is a special case.”

She heard him chuckle softly.

“How can only your mouth not sleep when you’re sleeping?”

“I’m really going to sleep.”

Suddenly, she felt a warm sensation over her body. When she opened her eyes slightly, the Duke was covering her with a blanket.

“Close your eyes and sleep.”

“How did you know?”

“I have my ways of knowing.”

He curved his lips again. Marine gave up trying to understand and closed her eyes.

The carriage journey was peaceful. She had gotten used to the diamond carriage before she knew it.

Contrary to her worries, there were no bandits targeting the diamond carriage.

Well, attacking a carriage flying the Vines family flag in the Western Region would be like certifying that one’s head was empty.

When they occasionally stayed at inns, they covered the diamond carriage with white cloth.

After Dia climbed into the carriage out of curiosity and fell in love with its charm, she switched places with the Duke and continued the journey. Yulia said she needed mental preparation to step on diamonds and rode in the servants’ carriage.

The black carriage the Duke was riding, the diamond carriage, and the servants’ carriage all stopped simultaneously.

“We’ve arrived at today’s lodging.”

Oliver, who knocked on the carriage door, said.

She couldn’t hear the sounds of the horses pulling the carriage, but she could hear human voices from outside. It seemed like a device had been installed to block only horse sounds because of her trauma.

Could Zeromian really be a mage?

“Yes.”

Marine got out of the carriage with Dia.

No matter how comfortable the inside of the carriage was, sitting for a long time was still tiring.

“Today’s lodging is Lord Nylon’s manor.”

At Oliver’s explanation, Marine’s eyes widened.

“Nylon – you mean the territory with the opal mine?”

“Yes.”

“Then can we see the opal mine too?”

“I don’t think we can go to the mine. Even though they say all the demon beasts in the mine have been dealt with, there’s still potential danger.”

“Ah, I see. I understand.”

Marine felt disappointed that she couldn’t see the opal mine directly, but she understood.

She had never seen a demon beast, but if she ever encountered one, she would faint on the spot.

Shaking off her disappointment and looking up, she saw a three-story manor.

An elderly lord and his wife were standing at the manor’s main gate.

“Welcome. Your Grace the Duke, Lady Marine Schwentz, Lady Dia Adria.”

“We’ll be in your care.”

“Oh my, everything I have comes from Your Grace. Please visit anytime.”

The elderly lord bowed repeatedly and spoke respectfully.

Lady Nylon, who had her hair neatly pinned up, approached Marine and Dia.

“You must be very tired. I’ve prepared bath water in advance.”

“Thank you.”

Marine expressed her gratitude for Lady Nylon’s consideration.

Following Lady Nylon’s guidance to the second floor, she pointed to a room.

“Lady Schwentz can use this room, and Lady Adria can use the adjacent room. Please rest comfortably, and we’ll see you at dinner.”

“Yes, thank you.”

“Thank you.”

When Marine opened the door and entered, Yulia followed her in. Warm water was prepared in the bathtub inside the room.

Yulia put her hand in to check the water temperature and smiled slightly.

“The temperature seems just right. You can wash right away. I’ll help you take off your dress.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Marine quickly entered the bathtub with Yulia’s help. The muscles that had stiffened from the carriage journey relaxed.

Marine dunked her head completely underwater and then lifted it up. The warmth felt so good.

When she leaned her head back against the bathtub and closed her eyes, Yulia came over and washed her hair.

“I want to stay here forever.”

“You’ll catch a cold. You need to come out now.”

Yulia, who was carefully drying her hair with a towel, scolded her.

She was the same age as Garnet, but Yulia was quite mature.

“Alright.”

Marine wrapped herself tightly in a large towel to cover her body and lay down on the bed just like that.

“Oh my. What if you catch a cold?”

Yulia hurriedly spread out the blanket.

“I’ll put it on in a little bit. You should rest too.”

“Yes.”

Yulia, who had carefully covered her with the warm blanket, smiled brightly.

After finishing dinner, Marine came outside alone, holding a small notebook in one hand. She had told Yulia that she needed some alone time to write fairy tales.

She had almost used up all the fairy tale book stories she had read in her previous life, so she planned to rack her brains somehow.

Looking up, she saw the black sky was unusually clear. The clusters of stars scattered across the night sky sparkled enchantingly.

While walking absentmindedly looking up at the sky, she encountered a servant.

“I have something I want to ask. Where is the mine?”

The servant, who still looked young, seemed to know she was a guest of the Ducal House and spoke very carefully.

“If you go straight toward the back gate over there, you’ll find it.”

“I see, thank you.”

After the servant disappeared, Marine walked in the opposite direction from the back gate.

She had no intention of going to the mine where demon beasts might appear. Accidents always happen when people can’t resist their curiosity and go to such places.

Hah. She absolutely refused such crises. Above all, living a long and safe life was the best.

The area opposite to the back gate was connected to the forest.

Since it seemed to be a place where many people passed through, the stone path leading to the forest was bright with torches.

“Should I head back now?”

That’s when it happened.

“Lady Marine!”

When someone shouted her name at the top of their lungs, startled Marine turned around.

Yubis was running toward her from a distance, panting heavily.

“Yubis?”

Why is he running over? Is he training?

“Run! Right now!”

“What?”

“I said run!”

Yubis shouted as he grabbed her hand and started running together.

Marine, who ended up running with Yubis in the moonlit night unexpectedly, moved her feet with a bewildered expression.

“What are you doing?”

“Demon beast, a demon beast is following us!”

“You should have said that from the beginning!!!”

Only then did Marine run with all her might.
