TDIDTRA Chapter 19

Chapter 19. A Suffocatingly Narrow Hole

Zeneo’s cryptic 7d21177a1f words caused 60d8ed4b22 Bonida’s eyebrows 6f9c3a6555 to twitch 86e4894b96 for a bba85175da moment, but 30d6dd4463 she quickly 6cde4c26fb dismissed any c01038130b curiosity. She must have thought 80ea902fed it was just another 6c7177f1a9 empty remark, considering the f6ddc73231 many men who probably 78f84028ac said the same to ce055d0e16 her every day. After a light farewell, a7f1c9c19c she turned and continued 70867a0c52 toward Margarita Boutique.38cd9ab03a416093

Zeneo already knew exactly 59a2fc2f4c what kind of clothes 716804414e she had ordered. He was aware of a4a3fc3fdb her house’s location, and b431ebda98 now it was only 56d2325416 a matter of choosing 7af0c493ed the right moment to a7233c519d meet with Viscountess Lenita. From what he’d heard, 30244a3f13 she was a woman 4115f8f93a with a lot of 6f624f926e vanity, so she would d05ab36def be easy to handle. A bit of money b76895a6a0 would do the trick. Soon enough, d56f0af941 Bonida would 3b847be580 be his.e08042e4df8a379d

The only 7f06486f2f regret was fd60e1b1b0 that he e9e6e9c0c7 wanted to e003ff2d2f assess her d8bab356f5 holy power 3624cdb500 firsthand by 5111b2873a touching her, 9bfe4bdd8d but any a258170acb wrong move 081aab5284 might raise c4ce6edefe her suspicions. Bonida was different from 1a32044336 the women Zeneo had 512a7ec387 known. She wasn’t like those b45a82c52e who eagerly gave themselves 79dd8258c2 to please him. She showed 457c64ff5f no interest cb140f2f71 in him dc04b6d9cd at all.711577321c2b9381

It was better to c71bab498d coax Bonida into giving a906bbc2d2 him what he wanted. Watching her walk away, d5f86ad328 Zeneo felt a twinge 04afe1099a of regret, but the 3f6321d2c8 sound of soft footsteps 813875fc4e made him turn his 3c6cf4230b head. His gaze met 60c033b456 that of Helyn, 5cdf225fa6 his designated saintess 3d828cd6bc from two years 565134842d ago. She caught sight a9b548f545 of him and, 068e6366d1 sensing his attention, 8266bd2399 quickly lowered her b80729ada6 head. Her face seemed to fb3ac5f272 hold many things she db2e89bbbd could say, but she 8abac52873 concealed her thoughts and e1a8d97ca4 stood obediently.8fea9fe3a16edbfd

Zeneo turned 0213a2fc14 his attention 3ce5d3d0e3 away from 080f29a871 the dull 3188ceee64 Helyn and 538079dba8 looked back 3ca09eb4c1 at Bonida, 0c13fc78ea but she d43ba1edca was already e2bcbb9427 gone.d188d1d9b6b29b09

Bonida quickened her 8656983355 pace, feeling the a44e2db667 relentless, unsettling gaze ebb2ac4bb5 of a man 93783d3ba0 on her back. It wasn’t aaf44a7b81 uncommon for ef1f7cb75b men to 20e7c02cfa approach her a619cf0220 like this. She dealt with c649950886 such advances frequently. But today, there was 214dccc3eb something different, a chill 9540502ac2 that crawled down her 53990915ae spine.  5d0459654c9dbe30

Had she 7b35291baa not met feaf35c54e Girion, she 8e29297407 would never a1e2987ab9 have seen 775fe2684a the grand 8b6efd2a5c nobles. But now that d3320d3574 she had, she 3d61c20cbc understood what kind 8f06cb0e13 of clothes they 4c313e8590 wore and the 963f8e58bf aura they exuded. The man 536081c25c she had fc3f072c5b just encountered 29c27e582d wore expensive 14d579fb10 fabrics like f9f236932a Girion and 31bbb77734 his shoes 21e0c6c9b6 were made 1d9d7cce34 from finer 02cbcd6845 leather. She didn’t f3a675f595 know much 4996faad91 about this 2ca5e26dcb world, but 8e0abb8f7a she could e6bbc792c3 tell the 82c31d4c4f difference when 75fe584392 it came 43bbb3c446 to quality.f9c45c9f6d888f03

The man’s 6a1dc3c12b approach seemed 1180f6d3f5 like an 87fe78f030 attempt to 7e554fa676 flirt, but f137f0ca87 there was 866e71513b an arrogance ec6ad3126b typical of 3c62991009 those who 22c8fff596 had wealth. Bonida had seen 22e63c4ba7 the way the 29088c5420 wealthy patrons at fb946a4160 Margarita Boutique looked 12601b0b1b at others many adafdfddc0 times. That was f5cbaee231 why she 57cad7f148 didn’t immediately 785b19cd8b seek out 49e28a8576 Perz and 7ed7747898 instead entered 8263bdaa13 the boutique. For some reason, she ef484774be felt she shouldn’t show 47a7e96ff8 that unfamiliar man to eba4b23192 Perz.9b99876157f9a743

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.2ed9bfa7a36f8a4a

Bonida’s mind was as 8e998faca1 restless as her blue a8a00f9a5e eyes, constantly moving, filled a4b7aac638 with questions she had 83d14f0aab been unable to ask.Who was he?The curiosity 1b2f246904 lingered in 73432d09cd her mind, b80134ee40 unanswered.424fe37584920bb4

Girion found himself back 77b94a3fa2 in this spot, whether c9883609f8 he had time or 1a6f237fa2 not. It was b5d613b781 the place decc27045d where he 815b60188c had kissed 98a906699c Bonida’s delicate b5a6fb368b mouth. Today, the summer sunlight 4bc52a2a46 was particularly strong, pouring 3776ff427f through the window. It felt like just c2cc59274d the other day when 38d86e4160 the sunlight had been 494621a575 gentler, when he had 38296f4276 held her warm, damp fd0de3daa1 mouth in his. The sudden thought made 0484196b19 Girion click his tongue.330bd7cbb60bec89

It had 1cc87dfff0 been six 6ac6d4c9b9 days since 9c4016b803 he parted 566b29ae09 ways with d8cd8b4414 Bonida. Tomorrow, she f79baa03ef will return ad0f76555b to this 34abd8fa9b mansion. Or more precisely, to 6b8e33c479 his side. Now, even knights 8067b5fbe6 who could not 59aad9321d find Girion would 797b713558 start their search 9a1ec8f4b4 here. As he turned his 66af5892ff head toward the sound c1069c250a of footsteps, Shavs approached. He walked 30bed9b25e up casually 0681b66c3e and spoke 1df88bfe51 with a 943400dd56 playful tone.19d6a59ae5c74962

“I took the opportunity to ask Eileen a few things, and apparently, Bonida enjoys night walks.”6a11f94b07382a1b

“Night walks?”dad56c4169e5732d

“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.”8dc76b982f16416b

“She went to see the sea and ended up liking seafood… That sounds like her.”54115696030716bf

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. 5ce24049162e4a00

“She’ll be back here tomorrow, won’t she? It’s been quite a long time, hasn’t it?” c682a7944f46e3f3

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. 87d5dcf86b3490dd

The view 800b36aef0 from the 1f845e2f07 top of 9c573e5d89 the spire 70351cfbf5 was particularly e15a633d51 stunning, offering 8b405f6f58 a full 0a8c361a8a view of 6f51606c63 the mansion, 9062044b0f and the e120c46334 night scenery 7bbf6826c3 was even 3c289c916c more breathtaking.f37542640bcf72b1

Which sea did e2545cfe12 Bonida see?He found 667822736f himself wondering e2941d4401 what had d9f681be05 made her 9236f2c6e9 develop a f1f73e0f88 liking for c396ffd118 seafood. It would be nice dd97d68f2f to see her walk a66bfcaa57 along the sandy beach, 24fba740e4 the soft grains under 9828c910ad her feet. After the birthday f22d240c2f party was over 713f6f6125 and everyone had ea3962b934 left, Girion thought c194ccfe42 he might finally 68d95d0d49 take the time 33a115efae to show her 482ce846d7 around.1c80133200fda9fa

He realized, 08ab40c4b4 somewhat late, b90e09ac82 that his 4f2cb18d67 mind was fd20889584 consumed by a2db6d9010 thoughts of 1674eb1ff1 Bonida. He had been talking c6060a0951 to Shavs without fully 326f196db3 paying attention to the bec727eed6 conversation.4ae96e2f11a3e8b6

Shavs had 0264700041 been hesitant, 976b000955 trying to ee0f901949 avoid carrying 8660ce6623 out Girion’s c4f9318b6b instructions because ef4a17cac8 he had e75243d979 been scared 34112a172d of Eileen. However, his ad04edb0e5 efforts had 445c8fcaea been commendable. 6e2c961329f59cd5

As Girion stood with 0d27705aed his hands behind his 10b1d46e00 back, he casually observed 88705e0095 Shavs. He had a 707dc61f40 glimmer of hope 247540857f in his gaze. Before Girion 37894d6c05 could speak, ba8922cf64 Shavs’ biceps 722fdc1874 swelled with 1fef431637 eagerness.89fb696c5d64899c

“Understood. I’ll take my leave then.”0c025edff66a6b90

With that, Shavs’ 761adaf0a5 mouth curled into fc62da1390 a smile as c0e374fd82 he gave a b2fec44af1 respectful bow before ceeea2f78f walking away. Girion couldn’t 319906943a help but 49c22bb35e feel a 541d539663 certain satisfaction edf8aca722 in seeing 3ce23245cb how things f8ecd2a8a0 were progressing. Now that Bonida e2e086fd04 will be by 3f9c593e46 his side for bc0f3c6326 the foreseeable future, 9da9d0b167 it would be 8e4decba91 nice to observe 5714477f7b her closely, learn 57af7123b0 about her little 09e0021abd by little. 3bfec2ff209eb0c7

Eileen, despite e94df47bfc only having a52f1c8019 encountered Bonida d1533c5490 a few 323abc82d9 times at adea7f9e17 the Margarita 5844b4c405 Boutique, seemed a6ba4f4101 to know 64f83faefb quite a 4bb3710314 bit about 72df31a1ea her. Based on 78fa90edca what little e8ddfb7912 he’d seen 1e148da0d9 of Bonida’s 7c24057145 personality, Girion 05ebd5606c couldn’t help a79e183c6b but feel f956ca00e7 she wasn’t e3779e874b the type f54c3116fd to openly e56391734d express her 5fd4cfed0d true feelings d7cd0d8735 to anyone.ac7b1c2fa49daa07

Eileen seemed 3e394cce26 to have 914a7a3ec7 a knack 55bd8a33c0 for opening 1853ddf8f7 people’s hearts. It was no ad371aaaaf wonder that she 4354d5703d was able to 2274be50c7 manipulate her own 352c9bcde8 brother with such 8a3799da18 skill. Girion couldn’t help but 0eb10f927e laugh softly in disbelief. She was truly 36a81c762e a force to 86014f8c88 be reckoned with. 360ae69b1017fa40
