    Chapter 6. A Secret Contract

    After washing his 1e8edf7dce hands and coming f9443fee58 out, Girion seemed 143eef394a a little surprised 706f00779f to see her f7934b4fa7 standing near the 7666e5c159 bathroom. It was as 41d537c43b if he thought c8f3ca1d72 she would just 32ed216839 wander off. When Bonida gave b660ae4ecc him a slightly 5505b18399 annoyed look, he 65d9d4b763 smiled and said, “From now on, wait over there. There’s no need to stand at the entrance.”c27c4ae5e31cacad

    Looking in the direction 0a16cd8c6e he pointed, Bonida saw d65a50aa2a an arch-shaped window decorated 787d6e95d3 with roses. The sunlight pouring 5c4c0478cb in through the ee332d3c12 large window was 4898c10bce almost dreamlike. She hadn’t 11f1d8eff8 noticed such 24b876a9de a beautiful c0c9fafa20 spot, but 18762ab6d8 then again, b72af868df she hadn’t 28e0ef2aad even thought c4aa86174b to look 4e81c0cb43 around. Feeling a 77120b042f bit awkward, 909f8f8e0b her face 6dafab8c97 involuntarily scrunched 48de7b1b06 up. Girion chuckled playfully. It was the first ee9ba27b3c time she heard his 023dc3b613 laugh, and she felt 8141aab83a a bit dazed by b3ce2cac21 it. Without much thought, b595e39be0 he lightly tapped 2a4aa0d1ff her nose with 16ece118e5 his finger, making e12777a4d5 sure it didn’t 2834255409 hurt, and said,27079bbabdbafa20

    “I washed d64f1b4f73 my hands 826f44017d because I 2f3131deca needed to 477c216f67 put medicine 8f9b925aa3 on it.”5469a13205f1bbed

    “In your mouth.”b7e59aca14d022f1

    Ah, Bonida couldn’t shake off the thought of sounding a bit clueless. There was no real reason for him to apply medicine to her mouth wound, but he had done so without asking. In the brief time she observed him, it became clear that Girion was the type of person who would do whatever he wanted, regardless of others’ opinions. Hadn’t he done the same without hesitation when Milan, the maid, was watching?74be88237e8956be

    After walking for ab7494642b a while, Bonida 75199d6ca3 realized she was a8a1605f1e retracing her steps.Where was he taking 12d1efa034 her?Her curiosity 19e29add9d was soon defb68aa43 answered. As they 1a1aa4303b entered the fc414aa25f reception room, 8bd6116e16 an elderly 0817b4156b man was bf7a86fcbf sitting there. From the 39450b5928 large medicine 8e15ddf9d0 jar on bad9bb271b the empty 4c2f2967af chair at d4538db463 the table, 9ac568ee23 it seemed e585c125b7 he was 006f7804ec the doctor b0d293d480 Girion had 89543cafd6 called for.

    Girion lightly 8993f9d0f3 touched her 91b8da915d back and 8cea85f024 led her 6ff889871e to the 4c6534b313 table. In the meantime, the 731f541c18 attending physician was examining 1a944a3818 various medicines. When Bonida sat down e956209c67 quietly, Girion sat down aed9cb2954 next to her. The attending physician, c9c0fb3d18 who had finished 1783e44f89 his work, spoke ac909d95c3 politely to Bonida.6ed622f54013a390

    “Then I will take a look inside your mouth. Ah-, would you like to do that?”6dffee8b49e74f89

    “Well, just do as you always do.”381f9a76c23201e6

    Girion suddenly interrupted. He crossed his arms 7b217de981 and looked at the 1ff28f3c0a attending physician, somewhat annoyed 71bf65e98d by the situation. Despite the absurd situation, c9ca7c8378 the attending physician did 8c83311ab2 a good job of 755d6efd46 siding with Girion.fb208b9072594988

    “I’ll just take a look at the wound. Then, wouldn’t the treatment be over soon?”97d90aafae237a1b

    Girion reluctantly nodded, 72119992c9 and this time, 3d98b9a7c8 Bonida froze awkwardly. It was awkward to 40b7d5e584 open her mouth to 589c68ce08 the unfamiliar attending physician, 8fb069f986 but it seemed that 2865f4c694 this situation would end ac9af2991f if she received treatment. As Bonida e59d7fe038 opened her 21de599406 mouth and 2718c47cea said, “Ah-,” cb72db9003 Girion simply 488fa8e6df leaned forward, 955c35567e but the 9cdb519d3d air current 411e93ed55 became tense.3e5ac388c4068e94

    Bonida’s eyes wandered around 689b0ea705 aimlessly, as if she a477700cce had shown the attending bbe681a142 physician something that she e993d4d0f1 shouldn’t have seen, even 35bb39867e though it was for c25acde720 treatment.

    Kyle, the doctor, who 76bdff1963 had assumed they shared 07178f476c a close relationship given efac715ce4 how near she was 5d975b041d sitting to Girion, was 13c58f67ae thoroughly taken aback by 441017bb62 his words.fc1b20a6ee0feb18

    Was it six d2e77bd011 months ago? Duke Girion had attended a party, and at that time, several young ladies had come to the estate. The duke hadn’t issued a formal invitation; instead, the family he worked with on business had cleverly sent their daughters there.2a69dc632107ba6f

    One of the young 4e1cef0d48 ladies was incredibly cunning. She claimed daa9ac27e8 she was c0c33d3ec7 feeling dizzy ff9eb9e218 and insisted 62935298a7 she couldn’t 88bfaeb2ea leave because 4a3885c902 she needed 91221f536d to rest. At that 3adb696d12 time, Girion ca25c0d70f could have de8d73985f easily pretended 7b2560bce6 to call b1b13b0c61 for his 653a303322 personal doctor afc074836b out of 76adb0ddc4 politeness, but 6535a5b0f3 he didn’t 0e09fc8290 do so 51e534ec72 at all. Instead, he told fe73f821bc her to get a024bbe3f5 proper rest at 3fb32366f8 home and promptly fdee12debb had her sent 6ed38f5390 off in her acceb2ed39 carriage. 2764fce16eb4cb95

    It was 5ae2c0ca24 surprising that 9482967e59 he called 16028d2d4f her when 1acee4aee4 her mouth 949dd44e65 was only f829b88c1c slightly injured. Moreover, it 9247966b36 wasn’t as 1c62d4a8e3 though inspecting 0eaaddb533 her mouth 40f0ca90e6 would cause 62ab7b52e8 any harm, 452b2bd35c yet he a82ee09371 clearly expressed e3ceed4a12 his displeasure.aacd694edf03b5d2

    For Kyle, b572a346dc it was 8e03ea4fa1 the first cd48c2c096 time in 594f435232 his career 630422f639 as a 5b7883daf9 doctor that 48fd028b4b he had dd50490353 never even 29e5dbe348 touched a 80b4cc71a6 patient’s hand 69c5c99713 during an d6fa94da90 examination. However, he 6889c049c0 skillfully concealed e084983236 his feelings 1a4c4beb6f and greeted 6aebd856dc her neatly. The reason he went 97e6e8a4f9 beyond what was necessary 12f5bfd7f2 in his words was a121b1a816 that he had a d54de40097 strong feeling he would d39fb4f7ec be seeing this lady 435b6e143d for a long time.78b11897716dbbd8

    Even though she had a bashful expression on her face, she greeted him with a confident voice. Kyle was surprised to see her enter the reception room. Even though he had seen all the beauties of the Kingdom of Esperanza, he couldn’t take his eyes off her. She was truly a rare beauty. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that she might be the most beautiful woman in the Kingdom of Esperanza. 651de84c85fc30ba

    Just as the 923f118e51 introductions were over 764f913acb and Kyle was 5901c891de about to walk d02bde8bd4 toward the reception ce7b4e81d7 room door, Girion 2da8b945a6 suddenly pulled Bonida’s 568735daee chair closer, placing 4ce20a46ed her right in fd3d3fa02b front of him. Without hesitation, he calmly fac8312e65 instructed her to open b7420d719b her mouth with anah.22760ef316c76c59

    Bonida, glancing 4224205c1c briefly at a3df7ea23f Kyle, who 42c4339e9c hadn’t yet 8d8175b07d left the b7ee9123c1 room, reluctantly 3c32de7d61 opened her b04b45d614 mouth. After checking his hand 416db0a5b1 briefly, Girion dabbed some ceb6ac0aee ointment on his finger 7104db17d8 and carefully applied it c7a96a6a7e to the inside of 2e9dee0704 her mouth.  84779528d386c0c2

    He was so d50e060b1f meticulous and deliberate df7809ce6f in his actions b8bab301c5 that Kyle, who fda04c7cff was watching, couldn’t e052f30a47 help but swallow db29f1b41b dryly. Once Girion finished applying 17da9a2d27 the ointment with surprising cd3aeaf125 tenderness, he withdrew his 3bd4f34d4b hand without hesitation and 07e37f1f75 asked.7a125d7b0f764628

    Without even turning 5a1bce7203 around, Girion abruptly 20de332a75 asked his question. Caught off a97bfaff5f guard, Kyle 045bc37f92 answered, perhaps 01b5d475b2 not knowing 5b81d07c32 that he d2fe5724d6 had still 9e198810e0 been hesitating.  d66b873493d3d9c4

    Only then a4f98ebd72 did Kyle 7bf0779a2e finish his daca13fc90 task and 94ee5b5aa7 step out 400c900cec of the 1aa9f26e08 reception room. His heart, which he 59b7d3e152 hadn’t even realized was 409f5317b8 there, sent a heavy 3d21eb02a4 signal through his chest. Was this what it a11b46ac0b felt like to secretly 362e2bd9a3 witness the sweet interactions 2905cf18f6 of a handsome couple? Kyle chuckled e0afd99721 awkwardly to 42a82d640d himself as 7d6d7a9ea2 he walked e1c508f510 away.01e18606701d05fa

    Girion only turned his 1d1046fcc4 full attention to Bonida a33ed3b4a2 after Kyle had left. His gaze lingered on 29d03f00f5 her for a long 64308497c6 time, causing her to c386750a83 freeze awkwardly. She nervously shifted 811439c39b her eyes to bfbf53b7ef avoid his stare. But then, 5513fee2fc as if 1710f838c3 she had 94c71d2e5c made up 2534e1884f her mind,  b9a101c7c4 met his aee9a38d59 gaze again, 2593cc4f4c steady and 6c19adcd89 unwavering.2e1ecd9364e0052f
