TDIDTRA Chapter 19

Chapter 19. A Suffocatingly Narrow Hole

Zeneo’s cryptic words 161c7308e0 caused Bonida’s eyebrows 80d00f296a to twitch for 9b31c0f985 a moment, but 7d1fa86385 she quickly dismissed fc45af477f any curiosity. She must have 3a9308db9c thought it was fb3cc48f7b just another empty 1a894ac9ef remark, considering the 344731042f many men who 9f2911cd10 probably said the 63310bcd77 same to her bc624a030b every day. After a f03633ad03 light farewell, 466ac52c15 she turned 3130117ba7 and continued 4269eb1b77 toward Margarita 7e3299935b Boutique.67baa353578e2c6b

Zeneo already knew exactly f0bbdec0d1 what kind of clothes c281395a98 she had ordered. He was e1abae4cdf aware of 2a0ac6b172 her house’s 4d31499130 location, and 60f09fbbf2 now it a8ba7e3e69 was only 94e1b392d9 a matter 25b084cd38 of choosing d6d0cb2ac8 the right 38e5dd3924 moment to dc6cb1f068 meet with 6010bd736c Viscountess Lenita. From what he’d heard, 902cb01506 she was a woman 33396d9bb2 with a lot of ef8f02f640 vanity, so she would 01dd502dff be easy to handle. A bit 1ab50ab972 of money d006850ad6 would do 9bdfa7f0ee the trick. Soon enough, Bonida 163878a9f6 would be his.399f29d7a522e7e3

The only regret 87d1dd9ea1 was that he b7c1cf769f wanted to assess c16f0923cd her holy power 0643688ec0 firsthand by touching 67f7f74e50 her, but any 666b2fbddb wrong move might c1f193a6d2 raise her suspicions. Bonida was different 6b237a6cba from the women 31ecbc897f Zeneo had known. She wasn’t like 7fbbf8b2f5 those who eagerly 08de489cb6 gave themselves to b4f4f7de51 please him. She showed no interest fdc5b49d4b in him at all.e825585d2398061f

It was better 2d110632bb to coax Bonida c6fb20a27f into giving him bcd73cf26e what he wanted. Watching her walk b62474a7aa away, Zeneo felt a88ba21a11 a twinge of 0280227cc9 regret, but the f5f091df9f sound of soft e123c99d7c footsteps made him cb7337d492 turn his head. His gaze c986c8b76f met that 808778e5e7 of Helyn, 1076a77e16 his designated af174bf335 saintess from a12b4acc27 two years 06ab2c96ac ago. She caught sight ec972d9569 of him and, 9dda4d5900 sensing his attention, 1689ccbdf9 quickly lowered her 82dd6dc915 head. Her face b779339fc9 seemed to 464cde256c hold many 745c2bcd1b things she bd2a22632d could say, d46124d118 but she cbc9d1f4a5 concealed her 6f63cef1ca thoughts and 9e8888499c stood obediently.e4b2fcb7b04c3fce

Zeneo turned his attention 87bd1a1190 away from the dull 8030c2555c Helyn and looked back 61bd2a80e8 at Bonida, but she c33ef960ce was already gone.21d52ec7704eeea4

Bonida quickened her 3a165437d2 pace, feeling the aecd2c16de relentless, unsettling gaze d1b38b26b6 of a man f5d2422e26 on her back. It wasn’t 84a73327b6 uncommon for caf9089bc5 men to d0668fb59a approach her 1aa10180a7 like this. She dealt 2e187016dc with such b96a80f4f4 advances frequently. But today, e7d1301622 there was d9f6dda3a3 something different, a9273618f4 a chill 6583d4bdd0 that crawled 48e75356b6 down her 8c79435881 spine.  a17c069b6f5c7471

Had she df774bded4 not met 44959379d3 Girion, she dc88d11440 would never 3cdab0df29 have seen 6805f23e4a the grand a584128d24 nobles. But now that 825613a080 she had, she 2436f75d00 understood what kind 89537a37a2 of clothes they 1271b7d187 wore and the c601983ec8 aura they exuded. The man she had 5450030269 just encountered wore expensive 6eebe31702 fabrics like Girion and 39ed1c7feb his shoes were made d10a56e424 from finer leather. She didn’t 570ab77447 know much 4286059316 about this e15c3d7111 world, but 43e886c890 she could 0d1307a8ec tell the d2fe44edb5 difference when c231fbd6e9 it came c022a7d7e6 to quality.5dcb054303e032f0

The man’s approach seemed f896dd8dc7 like an attempt to 4e859b075c flirt, but there was 72caf5d9f2 an arrogance typical of 4f8a13b5d3 those who had wealth. Bonida had seen 368949aa17 the way the ba9ee5ab64 wealthy patrons at 993c6f52fd Margarita Boutique looked 8c78965619 at others many b5f2f2871e times. That was why she 7b2528b745 didn’t immediately seek out 685988e062 Perz and instead entered d421035ee7 the boutique. For some reason, she f319feea22 felt she shouldn’t show 51a4537da8 that unfamiliar man to 0474f83fca Perz.4ada54bc118123f3

She had no reason to reveal her connection to the Duke of Tefort’s family. Girion had sent Tefort’s knights to Bello Village, but they weren’t using the Duke’s carriage. Instead, they had moved with her in a regular carriage, escorting her. This meant that outsiders should not know about her potential association with Girion.76d200d7737315bc

Bonida’s mind cc4e046e6d was as 6ac3eb5525 restless as 555375e28f her blue 45debe72ab eyes, constantly aa303416fc moving, filled 713d584897 with questions 6b87c8275b she had 680e6cb01f been unable 34165ae156 to ask.Who was he?The curiosity lingered in 7b9039d306 her mind, unanswered.68f239cd3391cdce

Girion found himself f225826315 back in this 3d1640b608 spot, whether he 159956bcb2 had time or 2e31bd1dd2 not. It was e75ddc69dc the place c8efcff72b where he 1e27715939 had kissed d402937b2f Bonida’s delicate c371481417 mouth. Today, the summer a219fe2d6c sunlight was particularly 384e4bf0b3 strong, pouring through 74f0e360e0 the window. It felt like ecc49bb3bf just the other 85fb58ebee day when the 495f71f155 sunlight had been dd25925c89 gentler, when he 6965942a46 had held her 06055a2feb warm, damp mouth 6ed956bb02 in his. The sudden thought made 716c2a1e49 Girion click his tongue.299f96e44a0ef4cf

It had been six 729dbcf812 days since he parted 94bdef445c ways with Bonida. Tomorrow, she will 2e37589be5 return to this 58404b04fd mansion. Or more a759afe629 precisely, to 5cb8711d55 his side. Now, even knights who 3471a69f6e could not find Girion 99bdbde853 would start their search bb5ec3f2fd here. As he turned his f6b41fe844 head toward the sound e197e409e0 of footsteps, Shavs approached. He walked 9d1810e9f4 up casually 4236c05719 and spoke a10f0f104e with a a2878a32a3 playful tone.e8c6a57489a862a2

“I took the opportunity to ask Eileen a few things, and apparently, Bonida enjoys night walks.”a348215ed17d4a09

“Night walks?”22311fe212ee69aa

“Yes. And it seems that she developed a liking for seafood after going to see the sea a long time ago. Didn’t I help get that information from Eileen? Thanks to that, you scored well with Bonida during your first meal together, so please go easy on me during training today.”f0faba1368f9fcd0

“She went to see the sea and ended up liking seafood… That sounds like her.”c84e189a306b01a3

Shavs seemed to know Girion’s thoughts well but held back from pushing further. Girion had already learned enough through Eileen’s information. Shavs, picking up on his cues, knew better than to go beyond what was said. 5c8c722c7364dbe1

“She’ll be back here tomorrow, won’t she? It’s been quite a long time, hasn’t it?” 4e2733d5126aaa91

Indeed, it was Shavs’ efforts that had benefited Girion. He was satisfied after seeing Bonida enjoying a delicious dinner on her first night here. When Shavs had mentioned that she liked night walks, Girion immediately thought of showing her the beauty of the mansion’s night views when she returned. ea17aba0bd49e120

The view 0f42f2d39e from the d18ff490fd top of 2c15a62ca0 the spire b1ee11e283 was particularly 816bc4c01f stunning, offering 14bf176e9a a full 79825632d3 view of 263e7f9fe8 the mansion, aceea7cc37 and the 3fe17adefa night scenery b858ad2e42 was even bd03746a7c more breathtaking.0998f2d0caade56e

Which sea did Bonida a89f5dbac6 see?He found 7caab4275d himself wondering 20765183e3 what had 8b26d06a98 made her d280019624 develop a 70b487c46a liking for a1e8b45e0d seafood. It would be nice 1abc995907 to see her walk 534a312db7 along the sandy beach, f1f08af3dd the soft grains under b522a3ece2 her feet. After the birthday fc6b3bd3c6 party was over cb87b74449 and everyone had db9285ef7a left, Girion thought 4ab276494a he might finally 1293c4697b take the time cadedda2e6 to show her 59d8f20f65 around.36abd2dbaa38fa7c

He realized, somewhat late, 1e34d52739 that his mind was 6dc158ed5b consumed by thoughts of e6a6e0d837 Bonida. He had 7292a2ccbb been talking 1cedac6d2c to Shavs cfb0457f43 without fully 5b1f104dcc paying attention 8caf50debf to the a36fd7e135 conversation.c7db12ad6ea2b423

Shavs had been hesitant, 8880fe4b6a trying to avoid carrying 978a131a1e out Girion’s instructions because e090b5cb83 he had been scared f6c73209ab of Eileen. However, his 70f036b436 efforts had 62c59b7d8e been commendable. 24d666ab7d2385c0

As Girion 771154ec66 stood with 3ec2d31bdb his hands cfae6385db behind his ce4cd8c784 back, he c207ae88b5 casually observed 7ed86e51af Shavs. He had a glimmer de8265ad3a of hope in his 0207a5155c gaze. Before Girion could speak, d9945fda09 Shavs’ biceps swelled with 9cf4bb71c5 eagerness.1e1ee46f7228521a

“Understood. I’ll take my leave then.”983b9bb702fef338

With that, 33fd34ca7e Shavs’ mouth 197f3cb90f curled into 9a3daa85bf a smile e0dd924786 as he 4b7816c11d gave a d2c41dc043 respectful bow eb215bc677 before walking 583e02877d away. Girion couldn’t help d6181f68c5 but feel a a7aaded022 certain satisfaction in 6b0e5e49ed seeing how things 39939840b9 were progressing. Now that Bonida will 52d2cb9e06 be by his side b4c0dda805 for the foreseeable future, d73ba460f7 it would be nice cd2507deca to observe her closely, 667407d2a2 learn about her little 31f7fb8b4d by little. 8f18e20b52124348

Eileen, despite only 7ac94fd3df having encountered Bonida faa05f5413 a few times d4c53887ab at the Margarita 95c447584d Boutique, seemed to 0a10c51d40 know quite a faa6f99399 bit about her. Based on what 4364b046ac little he’d seen 89975a673f of Bonida’s personality, 11c89f6872 Girion couldn’t help f3d82f1b65 but feel she 4ec5e41bb9 wasn’t the type c55a8ee148 to openly express aceaec99cb her true feelings c653b5f788 to anyone.75bb3f1167a2f4ea

Eileen seemed b5d9fda215 to have bdda10848e a knack 10ec4b24c1 for opening d049a7267e people’s hearts. It was 774fa630c5 no wonder 2773b49681 that she 3fdf2bfcf7 was able c166e1b37d to manipulate f8be8fcaa9 her own 03863e855c brother with 40478684c4 such skill. Girion couldn’t 76486ca366 help but 358659478c laugh softly f3db20cce2 in disbelief. She was truly a 4e8974efb2 force to be reckoned 6ccca9a3ea with. 505d715739d5b7a8
