    Chapter 16. A Fierce and Intense Gaze

    As he d3b2ad8a64 suggested, it 273edee020 seemed like 41381cd11e stopping the fdde5c54f5 carriage for da5c138988 a moment 32ed0dc246 to breathe 00c834be9e in the 1b825fc499 hot summer 18c69582fc air might 18a16999e3 help loosen bc35c20905 her stiff 5976e70196 body. But, they 5261fd30d6 were all 3ffee743a0 enduring the d4a55ade9f difficult journey 7adc006be4 together because 9351473279 of her. She felt sorry, be3895fe78 so when Bonida 1a02439723 shook her head, e43b757683 Perz had the dcfb6a9e90 carriage stopped. She was surprised by 4d728f4c51 the unexpected action and a2913f3afb widened her eyes as 23a684f8b1 he spoke. d22fe576a5384008

    She hadn’t thought of that. They’d been riding in the carriage for a long time, so they’d probably want to rest too. Then she remembered someone she’d forgotten. She’s often forgotten the cruel Marais wherever she went, but this was the first time she’d missed her for so long.0c9b7d11e99b0394

    When Bonida nodded, Perz opened the carriage door. He got out first and politely extended her hand to her. As she grabbed his hand and got out of the carriage, the carriage behind her stopped. She didn’t realize it, but three carriages were moving together. Girion was paying special attention to Bonida’s safety.0e69cb7b7f6273d9

    The back carriage door opened, and Marais got out with a groan. She straightened her back awkwardly and looked around, then met Bonida’s gaze. Normally, she would have snorted or ignored her, but this time, it was different. 38f6f18899a53e2d

    The eyes that 1cce575e42 had popped up 3110543a94 as if they 67fde35d66 had seen something 1f04358154 they shouldn’t have f809209973 seen soon became df7c9bd932 polite. It was the first 19659a0a49 time she had seen e46efe7f22 Marais’ unfamiliar face. 25942df7cdb50cfc

    She didn’t have 0861433d12 time to turn 647d813d4c her head first 4b26f206d3 to examine it 92d4cab83e more closely, but b99a8ce949 Marais felt different 9fcc63a4c2 in many ways. It was when 574f54bb9e Bonida frowned and f757f2c457 looked away. Perz handed her ed10a9e883 a glass of d997f308b2 cool water. She thanked him and f35da8a936 drank the cool water. 4c4bc64457dc3b05

    Even after Bonida 6598268f04 handed him the a5812e3096 cup again, he 7841011aa9 didn’t leave her. He kept c34c0b7f4f guarding her e35f51ca32 surroundings. Bonida opened her 7745c4da07 eyes wide, wondering 000fac1d55 if a wild b80ddb680a animal would jump 7d03af3609 out because it 65d9500765 was late at 24fcf33e91 night. 917e951aba8a33df

    However, it was dark 7cb4cfe711 and she couldn’t see c73c2c7e94 anything. After resting for f59d3b952c a while, she 1cfa2fa520 got back on 1554795ad7 the carriage road. And soon she arrived b54a8f4ca2 home. d75df933962999c0

    The carriage door opened, but Bonida hesitated a little and got out. Perz’s hands were cold, and she suddenly missed Girion’s warm hands. Her whole body was trembling and she needed his warmth. The door opened roughly as if she heard the sound of the carriage. As soon as her eyes met her mother’s, she scowled fiercely.6195770ba1665bae

    But within just a 1c93c62807 few seconds, her mother e55fc9ccdf had perfectly put on 1ec2cbfce5 a mask. After noticing e7fd1cb11b the Tefort 5b69301274 knights and dec7c62bfd the unfamiliar 3cfdf26e69 maid standing 369e5b25ee beside Bonida, bb0afc6833 she seemed c7ec8b2793 to have a94016f4db caught on. With open arms, her 25ab20d039 mother rushed over and 11cf0927a3 hugged Bonida tightly. 751c3eca607022cf

    Her warmth was so 092c501ec0 genuine that Bonida almost 3d01b983f9 believed it. For some reason, c82ecdb651 the first time a982da371a in her life ec31b39cda she was held 3233a387eb by her mother 319b2ff78c made her feel 5e32d49c9a a deep sadness.912ee26d9a634a2f

    Girion stayed in his ccc0d1d399 spot for a long 88f9cb26e6 time until Bonida’s carriage d7e363ccd1 pulled away. Did he caa774ac7e become attached 54bd67f640 to her bf8e1d10d3 during that dce4c74df9 short time? It was ambiguous a496de2636 to say so. Girion’s face a17de7b46b was as 5b506fb26e hard as 44c20fdc8a midwinter, and 92b9817616 the knights 3116129197 were busy e9e3fe2a8e glancing at e26c429802 the atmosphere. When the carriage 8b429bb96c was no longer 10ed05703c visible, he turned e9777c92ca around and entered 4f0e8a9ec3 Florence Hall. 7805c80df0bb2083

    Everyone who had 08a3e8379f been there to 8bdb6a84f0 see her off 28e467f213 followed Girion, and e835608a87 they gave a 26bc5843a2 short squeak. The knights consciously ce8890096a left, and the f21d9760f8 butler also moved, c6b71eec80 thinking of something 5d752c67c6 to do. Milan was about to 8a5843a414 turn around, thinking of 97528115ca a good excuse. She was momentarily 44a1acd37e puzzled by Girion’s 2effe1dfeb sudden words. 5de85306b3730e98

    “Prepare new 33bc52ef49 clothes for 83c95f142b Bonida. Prepare everything 24b8082a57 for the 9e644d504c coming season.” 1ffddce29bcfba1f

    Girion had clearly entered 255f057452 into a contract with 6966b019f4 the saint. However, Duke Girion’s actions 1a423e3943 seemed as if he 5f29b4ffad was taking on a 936a3c36f5 potential bride. He was redecorating 13c84e3785 everything in the 479e664e7a mansion, and surprisingly, 31836340e1 he was also 41f4c54c8e renovating the Duchess’s ce18254ebe room. 1441814316b374c7

    Adding the Duchess’ ccb7cc27cc private garden would 6844139e1b have been a 225e9c8cac pain in the 67bc392571 ass. Could it 7704866ff0 be that bfb0ea1e20 he was d02d826344 giving all d95371f4bb of those 4663438298 places to cca05f4e0e Bonida?a18a7e34796fdc90

    This was 3ededa26ac the first e543694ce4 time he 82266f5a9f had renovated 5e73dd3bf7 the mansion ba5239378c or renovated cf343dc0de the Duchess’s 1ee9276bcc room. Up until then, 0849db756c Duke Girion had 0080d19af7 been uninterested when f1e028a55a Butler Alfran had e38e0d611c paid for the 5f67015b8f maintenance and purchase c94e5f149f of new decorations 5bf18423e1 for the mansion. Sometimes, he didn’t even 1a056289a3 know if they had 64b6b381b7 changed. 19a2fe1cb047c494

    It was surprising that c10d1887df Girion was now personally 40a525d232 giving instructions. Since the only 88bc494dc8 person who would 06e0f033a5 visit the mansion b568994807 was Bonida, it 7f827265fe was only natural ee2c9f0dec to associate it 1a7cc1660f with her. Furthermore, since the 213ecfcba9 Duchess’ room was ce3ae9a6db being renovated, the 4760411dd8 weight was leaning 76c12ff13d toward the idea 3180943ef4 that it might 87436d52ad be prepared for 824a36a821 Bonida. 933e7d144db57461

    Up until now, he had never given instructions to prepare Bonida’s room separately from the Duchess’ room. After all, Bonida was a noblewoman, the daughter of a Viscount. Although her status was not comparable to that of a Duke, she was a saint with Magliare’s power. This meant that no one would treat her carelessly from now on. 29f609afdde568d2

    There were only two people in the Kingdom of Esperanza who had the sacred Magliare. There may be more Magliares hidden, but there’s only two known to the outside world.95fd297c7d9bdff9

    One was the king’s dedicated saint, and now Duke Girion’s saint. In that case, it wouldn’t be strange if she took the title of Duchess. Milan quickly understood the situation and answered neatly.f2f7a4707bbbf36a

    “When Lady Bonida comes, we’ll have to prepare the clothes. Should we measure Ms. Bonida?”fa39c21d1451827e

    “Send a message to Margarita Boutique. Lady Bonida must have ordered clothes there, so there must be detailed records. If you make clothes according to those measurements, you won’t have to change clothes several times. Changing clothes is harder than you think. There’s no need to make her do that hard work. She’s already so small.”77c138c324a64b1c

    “……It’s a bit tight, but I’ll prepare them somehow. I’ll order them based on the Duke’s words….”366adccaefce8305

    Milan’s words were cut off. It was because Girion interrupted her while she was still talking. His tone was no different than usual, but his eyes were strangely dark. It was the expression he made when he didn’t like something.8e4febc1b49b1aed

    It was the Elkh Boutique, which was in a business deal with the Tefort Ducal House, that was tasked with making Bonida’s clothes. Elkh Boutique had the exclusive right to make clothes for the Tefort Duke and Duchess. Currently, they were only making clothes for Girion, who was not yet married. With this mention, Bonida became even more certain of Milan’s intentions.82e4bbbf39ebfdaa
