TDIDTRA Chapter 3
by biniChapter 3. A Secret Contract
However, if she made even the slightest mistake in the contract, Bonida would have to bear all the consequences. It was her first time handling a contract, and she had no idea what to question or how to scrutinize it, leaving her feeling overwhelmed. Still, after some hesitation, she turned the first page. Fortunately, there were no complicated terms, and the contract was written in a very kind and detailed manner. It was perfectly suited to her understanding. That allowed her to calmly continue reading.
Perhaps as Bonida read it halfway, her eyes widened. Without missing that detail, Girion said kindly.
“For that amount, it is well above the annual salary of a Magliare.”

Bonida had never touched money before and was unfamiliar with its concept. She had noticed that this amount was significant from the indirect cues she had received, but she couldn’t exactly gauge how large it was. After all, she had no one to talk to other than her mother and Marais. Compared to those two cold and sinister figures, Girion seemed like a safer option.
Then, she suddenly realized that she had missed something. Girion had specifically referred to her as a “Magliare.” It became clear that her mother had indeed deceived him by saying that she was a Magliare Saint. What she had hoped was just a possibility was now a stark reality.

As the realization hit her, everything around her seemed to fade into darkness. Her head spun as if a thick fog had descended, and she leaned on the table for support. Seeing this, Girion placed both hands on the table and leaned in slightly, lowering his torso.
“Is there something wrong?”

“….the amount is larger than I thought.”
“It means I will give you the best treatment. You are an essential existence to me, so enjoy everything within my boundaries.”

Girion keenly observed Bonida’s complexion before straightening his bent posture. He was more gentlemanly than she had expected. While his true intentions remained unclear, his actions carried a sense of kindness and consideration.
Having lived among cold and ruthless individuals, even the smallest gesture of warmth felt significant to her. However, Bonida firmly steeled her heart.

Just as she calculated what she could gain and lose from him, Girion, too, must have meticulously done his math. That was why he invited her here to draft the contract, sweetly luring her in.
She couldn’t afford to be swayed by this man. Still, apart from that, if the curse within Girion actually manifests, it would lead to something truly horrifying.

He had made a contract with a holy Magliare Saint for a vast sum of money, yet he might lose the money and, at worst, his life. The only fortunate thing was that the contract period was three years, a relatively short time. Bonida focused on the most important point.
“Was there any sign that the curse might manifest? Is that why you sought a Saint?”

“It’s not fully manifested yet, but in the past, the curse typically manifested around my age for the previous Dukes of Tefort. The timing varies slightly for each person, but it’s safer for me to prepare in advance.”
Fortunately, there hadn’t been any sign of the curse manifesting yet, which was a relief. During this time, Bonida might awaken her divine power. Since the Bello family had awakened divine power for generations, Bonida would eventually become a saint, though it is a little later than others. The problem was the rank of her divine power, and whether she would fit well with Girion.

“Do I have to sign the contract before I can touch you? I can’t touch you before signing?”
Bonida quickly shook her head, and Girion smiled as if regretting something. He tapped her lips with his long fingers. Not understanding why he was doing that, Bonida stared blankly at him, and he chuckled softly.

“Don’t bite your lips. You’ll bleed.”
“Oh….”

She didn’t even notice that she was biting her lips. Things were going on so rapidly that it was difficult to catch up. Bonida avoided his eyes and asked as she focused on the contract again.
“How much is 10 Lukis?”

“It’s an amount that an ordinary commoner can’t even dream of. It’s enough to eat three meals a day for their whole life. For nobles, if they indulge in a bit of luxury and typically spend in moderation, it’s enough to last for a long time.”
The contract with Bonida came with an enormous sum. As she pondered how much to give her mother to avoid suspicion, she asked Girion again.

“What is the usual amount that everyone receives?”
“6 Lukis.”

There was much more money left than she thought. Bonida held her hands tightly to calm her trembling chest and let go. After quenching her dry lips, she spoke carefully.
“Then, will you give me 4 Lukis? I’ll give 6 Lukis to my mother. But I don’t have a place to keep this much money right now.”

“I’ll direct you to create a personal vault at Ventus Bank.”
“You’re really saying that you’ll let me use a personal vault at Ventus Bank?”

“Yes. For both you and I, trust is the most important. I will keep my promise, so don’t worry. You must also keep the contents of the secret contract.”
“Yes, I will. Then I will sign the contract. Do I sign here?”

“Yes.”
Even though Bonida lacked knowledge about money, she knew of Ventus Bank. It was the bank that the Bellos family often dealt with for any payments from nobles. Her mother frequently spoke highly of it, despite not having an account here.

It was praised as a bank only used by high-ranking nobles and great aristocrats. Now, Bonida would have her own personal safe at that bank.
She wasn’t sure what to do with the money right away, but having it in hand would allow her to plan for the future. It gave her a sense of confidence, as though she could accomplish anything. After Bonida signed, and so did Girion, he stood up and approached her.
