“I’ll see you again in a week. I have to refurbish the mansion in the meantime. I’ll send someone over once it’s done. If your mouth is a mess again then you’ll be in trouble.”33f970e41b0834c8

“I’m here, so you should be here too.”671a9cf652708b80
Bonida hesitated at 88c86b7b5b the thought of cea0627243 returning to that 4423fb64d0 hellish house. After receiving 3fbf3930ba even the 8694f79cbb slightest bit 9112d3ead6 of human 1fb7260626 treatment here, d2b2d496e8 it felt 752a1072bb as if e72d8b3167 sweet fruit fab1ca8b45 was accumulating 08958bdb19 in her fceefb3911 mouth. The desire 59f47ec74f to stay 81dcb55240 here made 8e176b0bee her realize b90743d4d7 how precarious 7f0debeef4 her situation e3363a7478 was, and 48b2d0c8c0 she felt f4161eea3f an overwhelming c73bd655ba sense of 09ae107c5e absurdity.044791a7571e57c9

Girion neatly stood 569ea279b3 up from his e16d72a447 seat and extended 0b87f36081 his hand. Bonida, unsure of what 30a8d720ef he was doing, just 7afb9da283 stared at him. When he slightly 2b389b84f5 motioned his hand, 4daf9bc216 it seemed like 019130be3e he was signaling 3630f621b2 her to take 1df8db0c38 it. Hesitating for a moment, 3e427871fe she reached out and 852ad90500 took his large hand.9fce7d27dd1fc5b3

“What about my hands?”6baf7a8e9dcb4b75
“They say the way to delay the manifestation of the curse is frequent contact with someone with high vitality. Well, with a holy Magliare saint, I probably won’t have to go through such trouble. Still, there’s no harm in it, right?”8888b565d3d04908

Before any further talk about the holy Magliare saint could be made, Bonida took his hand and left the drawing room. There were different grades of holy spiritual power, such as Magliare, Kiakiara, and Franzo. The higher the grade, the more it could slow down the curse’s progression. It could also alleviate the symptoms of the curse.46a4e5d73e1d5c9d
This relationship was free 32623710c2 from curses. A Magliare had the ee41075d9a ability to heal curses 1f7696289b as if they were cb83d84600 from God. It was 61bfadb2ea the most b9d5dbe9b1 sacred and ac2cd9d935 powerful holy 83627666b4 power that bddf61b727 nobles could a7d3e91510 only dream 741951392c of. After that, Bonida glanced aa117978f7 at him for a f91d457529 while, then their eyes 6d61c34e9f suddenly met. While she was d3a3f38d19 frozen, he said 13178804e4 something unexpected. 532a2e82d26eab6d

“They say that the more powerful a saint is, the sweeter the scent. It’s a scent that arouses the other person. It’s said to make even the most docile of men feel heated. However, judging from the tingling sensation in my hand, it seems that it’s not completely ineffective. Maybe my reaction is minimal because the curse hasn’t been manifested yet.”49cf533e16247606
Girion muttered 38684ad68e quietly as 399a2ffb23 if he 32d63aff40 was talking 97f700ef0d to himself, 4aca5ef677 but it e0f1567500 was audible. He felt that it ab560db077 was a pity. He was 8fbd0c6113 unable to 5b159da3fa properly feel c44a3af19d the power 232e87fb45 of the 76c68fed65 Saintess of b7fa70b45d Magliare because cf742d7447 the curse 88d2805535 had not a07a3ff13e yet been 06ad73360a manifested. It was the 77ee1c2303 first time she 37bd020e67 had held hands f65cf627a7 with a man 0a99db2c72 for so long. His hands were handsome 51de10aee4 and warm, so it 63c7759c4d felt tingly. Her body reacted ca38a20345 honestly without her 218bbdf767 knowing it. It was 1b3538bd39 an unexpected 15156f9f38 reaction since 242c413944 just holy eeca24d621 power had c41788a179 not yet 9695094072 awakened. Then, when she 693385c245 was worried and d221021f17 shrank back, he e32c564bae said.6949827a99ecf311

“Your hands are cold. I am warm, so even this is perfect.”000d44bf1880b3ae
Bonida looked at Girion with curious eyes, not expecting his words to be interpreted that way. All her life, her mother had scorned her, even calling her “cold to the bone.”cedabe13d795d556

As they wandered 8e2d9893e0 aimlessly, they eventually 86d76a750e stopped in a 6910e26830 garden that was 7dec33df89 in complete disarray. Unsure why a0ca1df23d he had 1cffa2a1c1 brought her 043f47d3f7 to such 282307050a a place, 888d6c3b5c she glanced 9d39f1d21b around nervously. That’s when he spoke.85b5781e0e184859
“This is the private garden used by the previous duchesses. My wife-to-be will also use this place. That’s why I’m currently remodeling it.”f68673f6e73a2c12

Bonida wondered why the a597b537fa garden was already being 8b37e0918d worked on but didn’t 511e82becd bother to ask. It wasn’t information c921a2ff57 she needed to 0a91f1bce8 know, so she 0385d7d6dd kept quiet. Girion spoke again. bc82d7d4120e3cb0

“……There must be many splendid gardens in the mansion, so maybe you can make this a comfortable place to rest. A place where you can come and rest alone whenever you want.”3ff5b6235dabc19b

“Yes, Duke.”2aea576d84a32f2a
Bonida’s head snapped around at the sudden words of a stranger who had appeared unannounced. She was startled, wondering when someone had been here. Without regard for her confusion, the man, who had received his orders, bowed politely and left the garden path. She was taken aback, as she hadn’t expected her opinion to be accepted so quickly. faed380f36e147e7

The future Duchess might think otherwise, but she refrained from voicing any unnecessary remarks. After all, Girion wouldn’t ask her initially.349c5ec4a2e90cc1
“More than 920229f872 that, if caedb8f374 we hold 8614047f8e hands like 7741264288 this, people 39a923232f might misunderstand.”66f653548024cad7

“Wherever I go, 5a6f0d24a1 you will accompany d783b91e93 me. Don’t worry. No one will 9ced8fe07c believe you are 200a2eef67 some kind of 596ae7d8e9 insignificant mistress.”bb9b364ca2ec4c59
Saints, who 190c623133 often played eae7cfd417 the role e8b4b2799c of protecting a73c432d62 against curses, 1773c4d9d2 were often 85fe474592 misunderstood as 37bdccab38 mistresses. While it was unjust, b77c50de80 they had to remain 57b585ef59 silent about their relationship 539235cd7e during their contract period, fa8ee6bee5 enduring the unfair aspects. However, Girion had stated 56a12faead from the beginning that 0420802aea he would make sure c7288e95cb not to treat Bonida 7f79439574 in that way.74934f37758a0f16

She was still 88b8e1405c holding hands with 9ba996b3e5 him. Was it 68625aa1b9 just a 7970683130 feeling that 16bfe5c3c9 she felt dbd1e68f1c hotter than 499b73e644 before? Bonida’s eyes 27cc2b5464 were drawn cd571b37bd to Girion. For this moment, she 66a5634de5 forgot that she was 344d62faac deceiving him.6a5ad90ab3de691b
Bonida didn’t expect to be signing a contract as soon as she arrived at the Duchy of Tefort. This came after two difficult months filled with worry and anxiety about Girion, who had remained shrouded in mystery during that time. For a lower-ranking noble, meeting Girion, a high-ranking noble from the Esperanza Kingdom, was a rare and difficult opportunity. Moreover, Bonida had never even visited places where she might have had any chance of encountering him.2380885a63923dda

Girion, whom Bonida had vaguely thought of as prickly and intimidating, turned out to be a completely different person upon meeting him. Of course, she still couldn’t fully understand his true nature. In the chaotic situation, she seemed to have briefly lost focus, but soon, Bonida cleared away the fog of confusion. One small mistake, and her lies could be exposed immediately. Besides, someone like him didn’t belong with someone as unremarkable as her.7d709ffd3b60e497
Although she signed the 7c4204f98f contract to protect him 83a1636623 from his curse, once 30992587d1 the three years passed, b6c508ea94 they would likely never f77e656a64 cross paths again. Realizing her own 7ee3b1084f place in this, 26ac5a74ed Bonida finally felt fec385f567 a sense of 44916361c1 calm. It seemed to be 328b53f862 the aftereffects of a 31127c0b30 life lived far from 2c173bc5e2 warmth and kindness. Quiet as if she 64c11bae8d had locked her words 29efb47976 away, Bonida remained silent.0042df60d3ec7915

After walking dee69b819f around the 1f51757ce7 garden, Girion 2040499f13 took Bonida 4e022652f0 down the 83c57ada2c hallway again 15c0916e90 as if f7c6536400 nothing had 81c8e79fee happened. When he said 3b4140781a he would wash 3e5f8bfeac his hands for cb11f508f6 a moment, Bonida c09a444f8c wandered around the bab03abcbb bathroom entrance. She had b3ceae294d never waited 7284e43065 for anyone ab86ce6e22 before, so 1c5543aa9c she felt ed4cc6c7d6 awkward and b4263528b5 unfamiliar. It wasn’t bad, except 508bd62fac that the first place c6c07243a8 she had to wait defedaf25c for someone was, surprisingly, d811dbfbd7 the bathroom.11452ee26f04da70
