I Got Engaged to a Blind Duke Episode 93

“But is the Knight Order really in this direction?”

“I’m directionally challenged. I thought you would know, Lady.”

“What?! You grabbed my hand and just ran blindly!”

“Ah, I don’t know! Just run faster!”

Squeaking sounds could be heard from far away.

Could it be Underground Tunnel Demon Beasts?

“Yubis, did you go to the Mine?”

“I was just walking and came across a pitch-black Cave. I was trying to get to the Lodging.”

Even while running hard, Yubis protested with an aggrieved expression.

“Geez.”

Just how directionally challenged is he?

Fortunately, perhaps because of her consistent Dawn Training, running wasn’t difficult. But it seemed like they were going deeper into the Forest.

She could no longer trust this directionally challenged Yubis.

“Let’s look for somewhere to hide. And we need to find the path first.”

“Yes!”

Yubis quickly answered and looked around.

“Over there! A Cave!”

Marine quickly turned toward the Cave at Yubis’s words, then stopped. And she saw it.

“Nairon Silver Mine?”

There was the sign for that Mine where they had dug thinking it was a Silver Mine but found Opal instead.

Marine looked at Yubis with amazement.

Wow, such a directionally challenged person exists.

Since Yubis said he saw a Cave at first, they had gone in circles and returned to the starting point.

She remembered how he had run off in the wrong direction when she first encountered him at the Training Ground.

She should have noticed he was directionally challenged then.

“Should we hide here?”

“Don’t you think this is the place you came to before?”

Marine pointed at the sign.

“Really? I can’t read those letters, Lady.”

Yubis looked at the Cave with a terrified expression.

The squeaking sounds were getting closer.

Her spine felt chilled.

Marine looked at the dark Mine with a pale face. Perhaps it was fortunate. There would be Knights guarding the Mine.

“There should be Knights guarding the Mine.”

“No, everyone gathered because Duke came today.”

“Wow, but shouldn’t at least one person guard it? This expensive Mine.”

“Who in the Western Region would dare target His Grace’s Mine? I heard there are no thieves who come to steal from His Grace’s Mine.”

Even in this situation, Yubis kindly explained with an expression full of loyalty to His Grace.

“Yubis, why are you only smart at times like this?”

“I may be directionally challenged, but I am smart.”

To ease the tension, Marine and Yubis deliberately conversed more playfully.

That was the moment.

“Grrr.”

Are you angry? Why did the cry change from squeaking to growling?

Marine looked ahead with a tense expression.

A large black Shadow was approaching.

When the moonlight shone, the Underground Tunnel Demon Beast that had been hidden in the Shadow revealed itself.

Marine pressed her lips tightly with both hands to avoid screaming.

She knew Underground Tunnel Demon Beasts looked like rats but were as big as large dogs.

The glowing white eyes and rat-like appearance were correct.

But a large dog? Where in the World would there be such a big large dog?

The enormous Underground Tunnel Demon Beast slowly approached with its white eyes glowing.

Yubis stood to shield Marine and drew his Sword.

“Please hide.”

Since this was Yubis’s first time fighting a real Demon Beast, his face was stiff with tension. At this rate, he seemed likely to be defeated without showing his true abilities.

“Grrr.”

When the howling Underground Tunnel Demon Beast stepped on the ground with its front paws and leaped high, Yubis swung his Sword horizontally.

The Underground Tunnel Demon Beast quickly dodged the Sword, landed right next to Yubis, and bit his leg.

“Ugh.”

Yubis stabbed his Sword directly into the face of the Underground Tunnel Demon Beast that was biting his thigh.

“Kyaeng.”

The Underground Tunnel Demon Beast rolled on the Floor screaming in pain.

“Kraaaa.”

At the scream of the Underground Tunnel Demon Beast dripping blue blood, other Underground Tunnel Demon Beasts cried from the Cave as if receiving a signal.

“Squeak squeak.”

“Squeak squeak.”

Demon Beasts were swarming.

“Lady, please run away first. This one seems about to die, so I’ll finish it and follow you.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You know I’m good at fighting. I’ll finish quickly and go.”

Yubis joked and smiled faintly.

Blood was dripping from his thigh where the Underground Tunnel Demon Beast had bitten him.

Soon Demon Beasts would swarm, and with his leg like that, he wouldn’t even be able to run.

What should I do? Her heart was pounding. She had the illusion of hearing Demon Beasts running nearby.

Only then did Marine think of El. Why didn’t she think to call her earlier, like an idiot. She had been so frantic running with Yubis that she forgot about El’s existence.

“El!”

El’s voice came from the black Bushes.

“Yes.”

“I’ll go call the Knights, so please protect Yubis.”

“I cannot do that. I have orders to protect you…”

“Then I’ll stay here with Yubis. Yubis can’t fight right now, and can El handle all those Demon Beasts alone?”

“I can, but protecting two people while fighting would be difficult.”

“So please fight while protecting just one person. I’ll quickly bring the Knights, so just until then.”

“…”

El avoided answering.

“El!”

Marine called her firmly.

If she ultimately wouldn’t help, she would stay here. Running away alone leaving only Yubis was absolutely impossible.

“Understood. If you run straight down the right Side Path, you’ll reach the Manor.”

“Lady Marine, I’m sorry.”

Yubis, frowning with eyes full of guilt, held out the Dagger he had at his waist. Even though this moment must be overwhelming for him, still a boy, he was worrying about her first.

“I’ll bring the Knights right away. Just hold on until then. El, please.”

“Yes.”

El in Black Clothes stood blocking in front of Yubis.

Marine gripped the dagger tightly in her hand and ran down the side path to avoid wasting any more time.

Fortunately, the moonlight was bright.

Just hold on a little longer, just a little longer. Yubis.

In the distance, she could see the lights of the manor.

Thank goodness.

But then it happened.

“Squeak squeak.”

An underground tunnel demon beast that had sprung out from the bushes blocked her path.

The road she needed to run down was blocked.

Marine jumped into the bushes to go around. As she struck down the bushes that came up to her waist with her dagger and ran forward, she felt the menacing aura of the underground tunnel demon beast right behind her back.

Marine ran toward a large tree and pressed her back against it.

She thought that if the underground tunnel demon beast attacked irregularly, she would only be able to defend if she at least protected her back.

The dagger in one hand trembled. She could feel the heavy weight of the dagger.

The dagger the butler gave me was light. I should have brought that one.

“Squeak squeak.”

Perhaps instinctively sensing that she was frightened, the underground tunnel demon beast approached leisurely.

Marine swung her arm widely with the hand holding the dagger to threaten it.

As Master said, distance was important, but it was unfortunate that all she had was a dagger.

“Squeak squeak.”

“That rat-like thing is mocking me.”

Marine gritted her teeth and glared at the underground tunnel demon beast.

As she stared intently at the demon beast’s gleaming white eyes, she thought of the Duke who wasn’t here.

The Duke’s eye color was similar to that color, but it was a slightly more mysterious silver.

“Lord Gerald, come save me. You’re the male protagonist. You’re supposed to appear with a ‘ta-da’ at times like this.”

“Squeak squeak.”

The underground tunnel demon beast mocked her and came closer.

Right, it’s do or die. Whether I die this way or that way.

Marine threw the notebook she had been holding in one hand toward the underground tunnel demon beast. The underground tunnel demon beast didn’t even dodge and got hit with a thud.

Right, that probably didn’t hurt. That was bait to divert its attention.

Marine did what she could do.

Fighting the underground tunnel demon beast with a dagger carried too much risk. So she threw the dagger, aiming for the underground tunnel demon beast’s glowing eyes.

“When you think you can’t match your opponent, throw it.”

Please let Master’s words be right.
