TDIDTRA Chapter 18

Chapter 18. A Suffocatingly Narrow Hole

Zeneo stared at the 06eb315ce3 beautiful Bonida in front 4b1294b3d8 of him with interest. He stared at her 622b5d140f portrait day and night, 5cf94676ea so he knew her 3812abad71 well. There was no way 74300d2b8b he could not recognize 5aa921988e her at a glance. 4235afcf594d4199

Zeneo had 0a291a5c4b yet to 85762c6a9e find a af78f7c852 saint with e1c6f7684f outstanding divine c39e61e1a7 powers. The saint he finally e7c43658d8 found was a Franzo, e02adf7c79 and he had no ddf8750bbd physical reactions to speak ec341f76d5 of. They said 84dc83ba88 that when 92df1f604c divine powers 1dc730ea3b were working 567a666d06 well, one e8e00c02ae could feel d02c10f7e2 them even 629fc64091 if the 66db77ddc8 curse did 15df6a03c5 not manifest. However, there was 3f6cd45b6e no sign of f24d6c3cd5 that happening. d6b724bd19869832

He could 4412e08cea have found be16a3488d someone better a658d10cb6 if he 30a2ae3828 wanted to 73fa6711f2 replace his f79637816a undesirable saint, 838b7ea083 but Zeneo a0d30fe679 was the 4b56af8e3c crown prince. He had a lot 5fc6299b82 to consider. In addition to finding 5c42f8c98a someone with sacred divine 43929929a1 powers, he had to 52c2021694 keep an eye to 4269c666cd make sure they weren’t ba1878d15b colluding with someone. 89e817ac31d70fa1

It was a position as the Crown Prince’s exclusive saintess—an incredible opportunity that came with immense power, as he was destined to be the next king. The chosen woman had to be someone beyond the reach of high-ranking nobles, discreet, obedient, and willing to follow orders without question. cff9877f5c9e15e5

For now, they had found someone who met most of the criteria, but she was not to Zeneo’s taste. Moreover, her holy power had yet to manifest. There was also lingering doubt about whether she would be able to properly handle the curse if it surfaced in the future.3b1bc8f52bde39f4

The easiest way f59ca907a1 to put the 8d41722e87 curse to rest e0c1dc6975 was to have 36b67e4556 sex with each b71ec65716 other. It was a very 8b7a11572a explicit relationship where they 2c054c7f55 had to expose each 6744028210 other’s private parts and d61dfb40af be intimate. Even though a crisis 3952621090 could arise at any 5969a4ec92 moment, Zeneo was determined 853a820cd8 to have exactly what f38ec02755 suited his tastes.885fb7fe9d94f0ed

Zeneo deeply loathed the cfc793805c future in which his 0ed94bb0bd body would be consumed 5fb37656f6 by a curse, forcing 38869d0f83 him to rely on 07d1fb3e0a a saintess’s help to 88126dba5c survive. Without her touch, 8de0288905 he would soon ddd5732b74 be reduced to 2da7d1fd70 crawling on the 7b9ae2d40a ground, but he 0f0efc4e20 could not allow ab4ea07547 himself to be 19b6d5d298 controlled by her. If he had f1df913951 to depend on cc0b89f907 the saintess for f99baa7d02 life, he might f253b3410c as well enjoy 3cf49c41ae the pleasures of 1c9828ed1a the night. The advantage had to 1f3de41126 be Zeneo’s. 0f50878dd36041af

The sacred and bdfb5c27f6 noble Magliare power 63ebef6bb5 awakens late. Of course, only the 117cff2a62 King of Esperanza and 44b7ca6940 Crown Prince Zeneo, who cf56b824fa would become the next f78347d190 king, knew this precious 4a20da5618 information. All nobles 85b7a15885 had to ad6983eb50 report the 4af662ff45 status of 909db6f623 the saint 21eb8ee163 they contracted d2049c2d87 with the 35bce28d82 royal family, d170af7c3f the date 1253fdab8b of the d5a697bd73 contract, and bcf212dd7c the level c9dcfb1949 of their 0fce80a3d6 power without 821e77b7d0 fail. 73a816f54bfa9587

Since all this information 189005fad6 was accumulated, the King 3c31baf437 and Zeneo were the e3b4b2a60f only ones who had 40c63ea62b accurate information on when 57e19ec033 the most powerful Magliare, dd6081ab14 Kiakiara and Franzo saints 07076ce64b would be produced from 2e42f2f139 each family.822aa617de90797a

After gathering 84ce579685 all the efec1912f0 available information, 2d1b46b0d9 the Bello 93c49fb683 family was 5db34dcf47 identified as c3ddc6807f the most 06d83afa99 optimal lineage 56b7a691fc for the 95d95677f5 birth of 5bb3b0bde9 the next 2632f41675 saint possessing 33ff4fa2f2 the sacred bb6c87af40 and noble 001238b801 Magliare holy 996dfb6cfc power.63715a30e0eb5856

Every hundred years, f4b2f12351 a saintess with d49e7e1be0 Magliare’s power emerged 0409182c80 from the Bello d99f254568 family. Though those 4dd93a4b1a who formed 17a7c260c3 a contract 8b7216e25c with the b325b65342 saintess were 6ae7ee66bc obligated to 6cb2f5b2e5 report it 040e6fabf5 to the 9bc3b3679d royal family, c4d435ce49 there were 5edf9a7324 always those 38ffe60538 who schemed 4b3d5f77bf in secret. Of course, many cf7241d9d0 followed the rules 012dbc9fde and reported honestly, 500dabde96 but uncovering the 0376b6c951 deeds carried out a05a3dd111 in the shadows b09d9c74a3 was no easy 7a233c3eef task.43d823590e5d8a54

That was why 9072c57f27 pinpointing the exact 580a1290c5 year the Bello e67c71ea19 family produced a 88907a32d1 Magliare saintess had acee07fc20 been such a 13bbfa6fe1 struggle. They had to pull 23f376e670 some strings to get aaba2c3403 the information too. Despite having birthed eaea96fc5e three Magliare saintesses, 3f25bf31f3 they remained a 54134693b0 family constantly scrambling c6eda0a673 for money. When a cca278dad4 Magliare saintess 190fcad288 emerged, the 9a22f14b03 Bello family c7ba8a046f became arrogant, cb9776e6f0 and perhaps 3146cfd129 it was b254ee3c45 only natural 93470c5399 that swarms f0e3f9c240 of greedy 66ff902d9a parasites latched da96f03857 onto them.  518765e7c132ffb3

By the d136ee9fd1 time they 31488ff81b realized they faeac98fe7 had been d0e6696b6a gone, it 1d1e032fe0 was already affd1e7cc2 too late. Though they had edc882b084 the chance to 0e338e1943 amass wealth, their 6e541d6c15 insatiable greed had 5d37cfc947 led to their b54c641bb6 downfall.  87bf92fb96fac23c

While searching for someone 4b5b907ca4 with exceptional holy power, ac45f28b9b Zeneo had meticulously examined a2ed6179d8 every family that had 700d1095af produced a Magliare saintess. The most recent 74c52591d0 case, if it 0a683c1596 could even be c9b42b5f42 called that, was 93128df9fc thirty years ago—when 76b1764c7d the Freyer family dae7af243a had produced a 82f75c619e Magliare saintess. And that saintess now 810ad0f6e6 belonged exclusively to his 4268e6d12a father.d2c6726ed56ac0c1

There was another reason Zeneo had set his sights on the Bello family. Unlike other saintess bloodlines, where the rank of one’s holy power was determined at birth and remained unchanged for life, the Bello family had a rare anomaly. ea8503b3a785caed

Though the chances were 769aefcc96 slim, a second awakening fea075244b could occur when a 047b882509 child reached adulthood. This unique trait was 29d97e8881 why the royal records 80ac43b2de placed such significance on 66f6f896e3 the Bello family.  ac1c8140b0b06b87

Bonida Bello had dae704f4cc now turned twenty, 8878bc1966 officially stepping into ebca143f98 adulthood. She was either ab4bd62b42 already the most f6e6a67c8c sacred Magliare saintess 771c339423 or had yet e9505f1289 to awaken to 950f844ad8 that power—one of 4efa7773ce the two. While the 3ba1f35476 process was 227030f8ba dictated by 877f41920e probability and 5ec89cce00 not absolute 57c1236404 certainty, only 89a9d167a8 fools would 608576ab20 let such 268d367410 a valuable 729214b8c8 prey slip 879917cd14 away.  4aa8dadd4eeaffb2

That was why 1c29d940d8 keeping her close 02d64f9019 and observing was d0d373a1a6 the best course 382ac5c731 of action. He intended to watch 03ad39e569 carefully, waiting to see a4880fc4dd what variables might come a675a50686 into play.cf20e38d90d7b4d4

Thus, no 3158091820 matter what 4608c5bede it took, 3b69de85f2 he had 6e2f93643e to have c74e600095 Bonida. She could, in the 66412e3af3 future, make anyone kneel d766ff6c85 at her feet. Perhaps she already possessed fa6290e916 the overwhelming Magliare holy d3b4406ee6 power. Her face, so 4383b8c886 small yet radiant, a6ac632bfe with eyes, nose, 0a29ea6651 and lips shining, 7d0679fcf9 was nothing short 4f3eefe87d of breathtakingly beautiful. Truly, everything about her 2cb7af9037 was perfect.349a678b3320688d

Zeneo relaxed 40e88fe56f his gaze 349a684070 slightly and f12f1b652c flashed a 105f7c472a calm smile, 3dfd08c7ea concealing his fa1e1de6e5 dark intentions 85139f4412 behind a 9a8ef511e9 facade of 63637a7334 friendliness.a2c784e8bfdc8e6c

“This is my first time in Bello Village, and it’s such a beautiful place. I especially like these apple trees.”3799abc9dd987b32

To ease her 3516f9892f guard, he brought 7490eaf0ec up a topic 776f1a2bc1 that the people 600af6d97c of Bello Village 29463f738e would be proud 7ab9bfce4c of. These two apple trees 9cd74d9ed9 were over two hundred 814e7bea49 years old. They had withstood cd82471885 a flood long 8255c3fccf ago, remaining the e8119b1729 only trees to 63f707bb70 survive the deluge. bb5fc40dd5818563

There were c901c98284 even rumors 2f74524fef that their 1c4c02a248 roots touched 357f0c045c the very 599b27789b ends of 1c94724261 the earth. Every year, they bore 68b3d60763 abundant apples, filling the a8994cbe37 bellies of those passing 4763c433eb through, making them cherished 6d09c0a2b8 by all.9621f03e16609a63

As expected, the shape cfb1ff2be2 of Bonida’s mouth, which 3dae155f9e had been guarded until 0ad3280ca6 a moment ago, relaxed 815f3dd414 and her eyes curled. He didn’t know, but 20371f482e even her soft voice, d2d8a9f05d like the flapping of 014bf0c874 a dragonfly’s wings, moved f4eedf9964 Zeneo’s heart.a65edcc3e3377ed6

“The apple trees 2e5816379c here taste better 32d9c927e5 than other trees. The color is so 8a8187f038 red that everyone says 9450ea826d it’s like biting into db1eb7d872 a ruby.”b59b47ae6921bada

“A servant I just sent on an errand said that a very beautiful person went to Margarita Boutique. That’s how I knew about you,” Zeneo replied, casually.22f630d0ec91b658

Bonida seemed a db76b84731 bit flustered by 4c12dbe64b the unexpected compliment, 63d536911f her face tinged abddcc0068 with a slight 74b7fa7a8f blush. It was amusing—she bf07840d67 seemed the type c6d9868b1c who was often 1023025b9e told she was fe55ed86a4 beautiful, yet still e9345bbbbd shy about it.
