“Sit here.”a80efcba05ff94e0
Instead of sitting f98b171056 at the head 2029213a17 of the table, 32b7349856 he sat across dcf64cb914 from Bonida. When Bonida had no 41da7b77ea choice but to sit 610d55e780 down, the maid who f3029528c1 had set up the 226f92fe0a food at the end 7f60f5a9a6 of the table opened 3a43a84c70 her eyes wide. However, she 02ad82e650 quickly finished ff13fb2241 assessing the 66b3e79918 situation and 2ff372feae quickly and bba0cd38bb politely moved 2dc2bfb112 the food e31dace395 at the 2e38f3ced7 end of f0f301877e the table 434aec60d9 to Bonida.42133a42d5252b4d

The maids and d5b945e127 the head maid 28deb62b0e at this mansion 14106a6bd0 weren’t afraid of 54ba62253e Girion, and they 5f3f99c335 spoke their minds b20dd486b3 freely.That must mean 2bca3b057e he treated his 77d53795e8 subordinates well, right?With that thought, bcc408f92e a hopeful sense bfddc2781f of optimism quietly d8339f6c25 bloomed in her 855038c093 heart. After all, she cfb9f389cb had to get afa3888c39 through her time 90d025a7ce here safely and 2cf09aa1ff return home. After finishing 1a7ca9e4f2 her duties, d72bcff710 the maid d3e75bd0ae respectfully bowed fd1fb92eff her head b91082e349 and greeted f86f7678f5 Girion before d39d3a190c leaving the f6b195c1ab dining room.08ed34a54fb12ba3

Bonida opened her eyes 6c7f18844f wide as she picked 229f13d603 up her fork. It couldn’t be 262725a77d true, but all f1da786b6a the food was 8eb7b3ac79 to her taste.a6a7256b17e64ecd
Bonida liked seafood, but her mother despised soft foods. It wasn’t that her mother preferred hard foods, but she always made it clear when she disliked something, especially Bonida’s favorites. As a result, seafood often appeared only in her dreams, especially on days when she was very hungry.98b47a72769f585a

“Thank you for the food.”ac89a27d6bc35595
When Bonida began 42af6d4884 to taste the fea46197e3 food neatly using 5d7b702dc6 her fork, Girion 44ed965f41 smiled briefly and 46f9228724 soon began to 59ea2f969d eat too. Learning table manners 2bf74aa2e7 the difficult way 21fdd2ae7a from her mother, 22ce6e098a Bonida never got c8252ff15a scolded wherever she ef50bdb69d went. When she moved her c7105f3afb utensils quietly, Girion suddenly 5b182d0000 made a strange sound.f81f6ee3b075db04

“Not at all. Seeing you eat well makes me satisfied. I guess it’s rewarding to understand the preference of my guest.”f9791fe28b5e9636
“Thank you. Actually, these are all my favorites. The steamed bassione with the special sauce is especially delicious. I heard it’s only caught during the summer in the Esperanza Kingdom, so it’s considered quite a rare dish.”4b39ba1c98bf631c

Bonida didn’t know that she was talking so passionately. It seemed that her rationality had disappeared because she was able to eat her fill of food that suited her taste after a long time. In the two months spent preparing to meet Girion, there were more days when she didn’t eat than when she did.e456835950d98952
Girion looked at 9b88990d18 her, amused, like 3f5940c2d9 a blooming flower, d57538b826 fresh and full d0daec4d67 of life. He even served some acdb715cd4 of his bassione onto 8c4f5da282 her plate. Grateful, she gave 1a975541b9 a small nod 74f7e59e4d of acknowledgment and ade8ca0d1b continued her meal. d42143ad0386f469

“No, there’s no need to do that.”7ccf5dcbf78069be
When Bonida flinched 95267a9ba3 and started talking 7618edf876 nonsense, Girion rested 99f1803ed9 his elbows on c8fdbd7bc9 the table and 3f69bf2946 watched her quietly.ba10e33253e06068

It was a 50ec76e9b5 piece of welcome 6f6f57169f news. The thought of not b694a1970d having to see the e83c0fb836 unpleasant Marais for a f817e403c5 while was incredibly relieving. If only 9a9f62deea her holy 578f16b8cb awakening had 12f99e5800 occurred earlier, b30c339337 this would 276ec1cf02 truly have ac18fe4e83 been a b4aa1f2d4d dream job. Earning money she could 60680ace79 never have imagined and 6258263f4f being treated like this, 8319a90fb3 with delicious meals at d7a83e35bb every meal, felt like 9acac1978b something out of a d0c8de7675 dream.2415d1f15000e419
Of course, 183cef1bff sometimes when 14785d44ce she had 66e61a14f1 to come 6ed716654b into contact 190f04dba5 with Girion, 9f70bdab7d her mind 60a850ac32 would go b7947f8913 blank. However, since 0e62cede42 he was 46455744b7 a kind 930dbf531c man, she 8ec78f4852 didn’t hate 9ae9976fe0 him. eaebeceaa7989921

Of course, she doesn’t know if she has such thoughts because they haven’t progressed further yet, but so far, she’s been satisfied with the current situation. If only she had awakened her sacred power, it would have been perfect.334b3dd60a0c7bb1
A feeling of guilt e3ec781232 that she had forgotten 47a122620b for a moment rose. She felt 7466ad906a suffocated because 940d1cd6b1 she had 99184e5798 fooled Girion ffb765fc10 so well. If he e94dec4ec1 found out 980971860c about all d3f434cff8 this later, 2c68d7edc8 would he cc9abf2f24 be as dc245da750 kind to 6062d397d9 her as 83429a9557 he is d48dabb8e9 now?

For some reason, 65e0f89a89 Bonida felt anxious 6ce09b4fa5 that her feelings 44928695f4 had been revealed, 67ea0f4708 so she hurriedly 1dfd9c019d bit into the ff883c06b2 fork and made 6e25c8900a a mistake. She dropped the 8dba39b3f4 tender, butter-fried carabinero d86f4d7260 on her skirt d794920179 while picking it 4ac80c71ee up. She was 9894f01e4a so surprised 4304990a68 that she 472a57c7c3 hurriedly tried 843dab55fc to clean d5b1a90a3d up the 88499ffbf9 carabinero and 09d8faf63c ended up a01b024a51 knocking over 1f21923f3d the sauce a9e97bff46 dish next c4600d6111 to her a4ca47ff75 with her 8ea6cc600f arm. 13d522c48aead2ad
It was a total mess that happened in an instant. Girion quickly took care of it so that she wouldn’t be even more shocked. He grabbed her hand first and made eye contact with her.d1346d2b250d56a6

Whenever Bonida 045f343982 tried to dd0fa0b4cd avoid getting 5c49c068c0 scolded, she eacb6a990d had a 57838f164b habit of ab9e6da63b answering right 67f49a7a45 away. That way, she could 767e8dab79 avoid getting hit by 1f6d4e5eb0 her mother even once. It was a 39d3c4ece4 habit she had 47af638845 developed since she ba41f48a37 was young. 205fd2a845db9e61
Even now, she answered f9505a9805 as soon as he a4aae8167d finished talking. Did he think f96591a2f7 something was strange? Or was it because 3dd2ad5cc0 the sauce got on 681031212c her elbow?3b2c234e1da7be5c

Girion suddenly quickly rolled up Bonida’s sleeve. She didn’t even have time to panic in surprise. A few days ago, she had been hit in the arm while blocking the kettle her mother had thrown. The kettle was full of water, so she had been hit hard by the heavy object. Seeing that the bruise was still there, Bonida slowly closed and opened her eyes.c7cea61a019c3b52
Girion looked at 5be63141f3 the large bruise e3ec914d61 strangely and rolled d6bb5582db up the other 90fbf755b4 sleeve. Seeing the bruises 3798993fc1 that were connected 81dad69eda like spiderwebs there, 6f638b74b4 his face hardened. He carefully lowered her 4d3808f723 rolled-up sleeve and said.98e71f6940f5b0e8

She wondered if he might think something strange after seeing the marks on her. However, his expression showed no sign of judgment, so she let out a sigh of relief. She didn’t want the maids to find out what she had done during the meal. The table was messy, with sauce spilled all over, and she had even dropped some of the carabineros she was trying to pick up from her skirt. It was a situation that made her sigh involuntarily. She was confident in her dining etiquette, yet here she was, feeling embarrassed.47b601bd9c10fb79

Girion gave 047b7d6bbc a relaxed 8fcbda078d smile and 94937c7339 suggested that 1a47231e87 they finish 3af213a092 their meal. Only then did Bonida cbd5f5cb85 manage to collect her 241a87179b thoughts and begin eating ed22b0d9b8 neatly again. She had almost 6529337edc given the wrong a081933399 impression that she 4dd6ba1083 didn’t follow proper 09c4101f7d dining etiquette, but 43c972de1d she managed to a71133491d resolve the situation. When they a4162ddc7c stepped outside, 6d4c73c87e a maid 0e29a674d2 was waiting 994b2eb418 for them. She was 3d10b829fb a cute d125495d1e young woman 9e4a9e1869 with small 69afbddae4 freckles around 12e3967947 her cheeks.

She was completely 184d996532 different from Marais. Camille looked at e4aa3f9cfc Bonida with a ee8fa0f67b warm tone and 0e0258cda0 a gaze that b6ef4d4e11 conveyed kindness. Girion, who 86e9df15cf had been fcfa133834 silently watching 5cb87d6009 her, felt 2865e3df18 his heart 075c4d451a skip a ae19e0401e beat.8915d55b823df784
