    Chapter 16. A Fierce and Intense Gaze

    As he 9c8b3a99d6 suggested, it fc0474a3e7 seemed like c138007bcf stopping the 6f5a52cf67 carriage for abd83726bd a moment 58eabdec1c to breathe 35909e8ff2 in the 6ea98c9ae2 hot summer a0c0230d93 air might eac7082c38 help loosen 5af342d00f her stiff cb3c3ccc16 body. But, they were all 45ef78d12b enduring the difficult journey 8f700af5a4 together because of her. She felt sorry, 986603d1de so when Bonida b5fe6c5523 shook her head, 717731c646 Perz had the 7e34f0585d carriage stopped. She was surprised 4e9ce9c70f by the unexpected 8d1876b73c action and widened 6d66661946 her eyes as 261ffb8d21 he spoke. 1353d054d979a643

    “It would be better.”b65b141d1f243753

    She hadn’t thought of that. They’d been riding in the carriage for a long time, so they’d probably want to rest too. Then she remembered someone she’d forgotten. She’s often forgotten the cruel Marais wherever she went, but this was the first time she’d missed her for so long.d153425b15662856

    When Bonida nodded, Perz opened the carriage door. He got out first and politely extended her hand to her. As she grabbed his hand and got out of the carriage, the carriage behind her stopped. She didn’t realize it, but three carriages were moving together. Girion was paying special attention to Bonida’s safety.7c446a49dec3462e

    The back carriage door opened, and Marais got out with a groan. She straightened her back awkwardly and looked around, then met Bonida’s gaze. Normally, she would have snorted or ignored her, but this time, it was different. 7c76182bb0a560cd

    The eyes that had 5567e980ae popped up as if 4b6a6b8cb2 they had seen something 214d56acff they shouldn’t have seen 80f7b7256f soon became polite. It was the first de0386f34d time she had seen 5adea13861 Marais’ unfamiliar face. 6452bbcd67ed181d

    She didn’t have 37efe0d7ad time to turn d05dcb4ca0 her head first 9f1110cb05 to examine it 6f8c787044 more closely, but 0de8d88c4a Marais felt different cdcfef9353 in many ways. It was when Bonida 77905af7b3 frowned and looked away. Perz handed her a 982707e099 glass of cool water. She thanked him 170a3d4c31 and drank the e8a4edfccf cool water. 1e2fad3bcb8260fe

    Even after fe19f30abf Bonida handed cb6845dd20 him the 1f65da2d7d cup again, 0e072ff956 he didn’t c48fa41df8 leave her. He kept guarding d83ffae3e5 her surroundings. Bonida opened 3ec88b5197 her eyes 3731a28b75 wide, wondering 082ca8739e if a 963d7b2208 wild animal 6066bd23a1 would jump 13496968f4 out because d03e5a8286 it was 61ab5372cb late at 301fce98e7 night. 50828192302a12f6

    However, it was dark 74037fa11d and she couldn’t see dee79e3a2b anything. After resting for 7a2afebb17 a while, she b712ce5ebd got back on 3ca1f5e89d the carriage road. And soon she 77827faafe arrived home. 6f7c057a7474c624

    The carriage door opened, but Bonida hesitated a little and got out. Perz’s hands were cold, and she suddenly missed Girion’s warm hands. Her whole body was trembling and she needed his warmth. The door opened roughly as if she heard the sound of the carriage. As soon as her eyes met her mother’s, she scowled fiercely.83283227abf3e7df

    But within just a 56bd4a4cb3 few seconds, her mother 8807877c8f had perfectly put on 4eefbd0903 a mask. After noticing ffbb17ae2a the Tefort a356cb8a3e knights and 0f76db2acb the unfamiliar 69748244c7 maid standing b7c7649048 beside Bonida, 59d0d84499 she seemed de33dc09c2 to have 5f7e51b1f5 caught on. With open b0dac83f3a arms, her 5f1971f1e2 mother rushed 2110945530 over and 8f8ad01ab9 hugged Bonida 58256789f6 tightly. 3168d87c31d47247

    Her warmth was 350950245d so genuine that ffa89254ed Bonida almost believed eb8edfdede it. For some reason, the 75e4a72cbe first time in her 85d1f4c03b life she was held 74f12e1d64 by her mother made 90ae782050 her feel a deep 228d0538da sadness.9fdc0486aebccaa3

    Girion stayed 2ed332a173 in his 409de21c36 spot for 59e62cc56d a long f6cf15b6f5 time until 7a01ba256b Bonida’s carriage f32ff9c665 pulled away. Did he become attached 18425e069a to her during that aa25c83a45 short time? It was 08b75485f4 ambiguous to 60450c6612 say so. Girion’s face was as d8d97abe04 hard as midwinter, and dd96682dc4 the knights were busy e6871d325b glancing at the atmosphere. When the 33d793a0ec carriage was ce03c169ff no longer 400823e18c visible, he cdac66b545 turned around c2c3c7cc85 and entered 75e2ca33a9 Florence Hall. 938bf7ebe9ee69c0

    Everyone who had 358fa85b4c been there to 0f0fedbcb0 see her off 8b22d2e2c8 followed Girion, and 2f59b53fa5 they gave a bf885b0a21 short squeak. The knights consciously left, 4dd32b351b and the butler also b4533d5af7 moved, thinking of something 78067d0f7f to do. Milan was e3c050f80d about to 10c1aa0d41 turn around, 6c2e9100c3 thinking of 4a1aab6557 a good 85bcc68fb8 excuse. She was momentarily 8cd163760c puzzled by Girion’s df34516d37 sudden words. 601341387bb92f7e

    “Prepare new clothes for 528ea08657 Bonida. Prepare everything for the a730691900 coming season.” b66aa5ac97949f45

    Girion had clearly c74001fba2 entered into a e4d82bded7 contract with the 6d86a65ea7 saint. However, Duke a4aae65f38 Girion’s actions e8ffd205b3 seemed as dba2b81bcd if he 43e8678650 was taking ca88e49e66 on a ea6c93015d potential bride. He was 034ef62ddb redecorating everything 5454756e97 in the def6832684 mansion, and d044124b8f surprisingly, he 265b69c139 was also 551289fec6 renovating the bb40271f3b Duchess’s room. 13c583cc04dc282c

    Adding the Duchess’ 7d845d6c0b private garden would 63356c9d6e have been a 589accbc71 pain in the 4033d030af ass. Could it 091ebf799f be that 6b98687dfb he was a4781f0f31 giving all aff6a2b55d of those 8fd603904c places to 4d6fe382be Bonida?7ac3e9f0a6013282

    This was the eaf3f78c03 first time he 336ff8280a had renovated the d7b9dacd2c mansion or renovated 51a6fa4c13 the Duchess’s room. Up until then, ae75bd39b1 Duke Girion had 4558f367b2 been uninterested when 37e0862db1 Butler Alfran had a0910dde27 paid for the 2aa1863fcd maintenance and purchase 4908d0e349 of new decorations 59a02ebd98 for the mansion. Sometimes, he baeb20020b didn’t even 7bacae3002 know if 16d518e68a they had b6fd4075e6 changed. 0873414dc94f6be4

    It was 084d7a8bf6 surprising that a9b7ac6e97 Girion was 22a5063db5 now personally 5f3de04b31 giving instructions. Since the only person ad28b7ac0b who would visit the b078ed09d8 mansion was Bonida, it cc07d44b8c was only natural to f0226a1e39 associate it with her. Furthermore, since 05445246fe the Duchess’ 34eb1ea077 room was ae3ee4504a being renovated, c35bf62e55 the weight 167365ded3 was leaning 13eda15277 toward the f9b8200d4b idea that cf2414c6cb it might 5db30765a6 be prepared b33a95f1ea for Bonida. c361facfc411a0d2

    Up until now, he had never given instructions to prepare Bonida’s room separately from the Duchess’ room. After all, Bonida was a noblewoman, the daughter of a Viscount. Although her status was not comparable to that of a Duke, she was a saint with Magliare’s power. This meant that no one would treat her carelessly from now on. 5fbf3c1a43816222

    There were only two people in the Kingdom of Esperanza who had the sacred Magliare. There may be more Magliares hidden, but there’s only two known to the outside world.cedd2a28e8229516

    One was the king’s dedicated saint, and now Duke Girion’s saint. In that case, it wouldn’t be strange if she took the title of Duchess. Milan quickly understood the situation and answered neatly.e05daf6cf729efc5

    “When Lady Bonida comes, we’ll have to prepare the clothes. Should we measure Ms. Bonida?”0f9689a17133d227

    “Send a message to Margarita Boutique. Lady Bonida must have ordered clothes there, so there must be detailed records. If you make clothes according to those measurements, you won’t have to change clothes several times. Changing clothes is harder than you think. There’s no need to make her do that hard work.

    Milan’s words were cut off. It was because Girion interrupted her while she was still talking. His tone was no different than usual, but his eyes were strangely dark. It was the expression he made when he didn’t like something.50ea2bc15f9fdcec

    It was the Elkh Boutique, which was in a business deal with the Tefort Ducal House, that was tasked with making Bonida’s clothes. Elkh Boutique had the exclusive right to make clothes for the Tefort Duke and Duchess. Currently, they were only making clothes for Girion, who was not yet married. With this mention, Bonida became even more certain of Milan’s intentions.eb8984fda703416e
