The Abandoned Baroness is one of the Black Knight's favorites

The reception room is a simple room with only tables and chairs. Kevin sits in a chair next to Gilbert, and Sofia sits opposite him. It was also an arrangement to read a letter from Elvin, but I felt a little uncomfortable not being next door to Sofia.

Since there is no paper knife, move the fingertip of the right hand along the edge of the letter and cut it. Even magic knights don't use magic in everyday life. Some juniors asked me to tell them, but it seemed difficult to explain the subtle force increase or decrease. Kevin sees things rarely, but Sofia will already be familiar with them.

Open the letter and read through the text. After that, Gilbert unexpectedly wrinkled between his eyebrows. It was written about the current state of Baron Lannish territory. When I glanced at Sofia, her eyes were shaking anxiously.

"My father is gathering information in King's Landing."

Say it in the shortest possible terms. In the current season, various local nobles enter and leave the social world, and there is no lack of information. Elvin and Christina were both good at it. I can't imitate Gilbert right now. Throughout, Gilbert folded the letter.

"Dear Gilbert, Um, can I ask you something?

"Oh, no ─ ─"

Gilbert had trouble responding. Instead, Elvin wrote in a letter that Sofia was also a party. But what do you think Sofia knows about them? Gilbert knows that Baroness and Baroness Lannish are terrified but deeply attached to the territory. And I don't want to get Sofia involved and hurt.

Lieutenant. If it's a baron's problem, isn't it something to do with Mr. Sofia? Why didn't you say anything?

Instead of silent Gilbert, Kevin, who was reading a letter from the side, opened his mouth. Sofia watches the words. Gilbert turned a sharp eye.

Kevin.

It makes a very low and intimidating voice. Gilbert himself knew that his expression and voice atrophied others. Still, I looked at it because I knew that it would inevitably involve Sofia. Kevin, who doesn't know what's going on, turns a blind eye. Sofia leaned down and squeezed her hands.

In the room, silence fell as if time had stopped.

"─ ─ Dear Gilbert...."

It was Sofia's tiny voice that broke it first. Gilbert and Kevin looked at Sofia aggressively. His face, which was supposed to have been lying down, was facing forward, and his eyes felt a strong will behind his voice.

"What happened to Baron Lannish territory? That's where my... my father and mother loved me. Mr Gilbert once told me not to hide it. So....."

The way you stare at Gilbert hard is adorable, and if you put a little effort into it, it might break, but the spirit is too clear and strong.

"─ ─ Please get me involved!"

One tear fills your meditating eyes. It conveyed smooth cheeks and slowly disappeared. Kevin hardened without a single move next to him. As Gilbert stood up, he moved right next to Sofia and fell on one knee.

"Sofia"

Sophia turns to us as soon as she calls her name. Gilbert gripped the hand with both hands.

"I don't want to put you in danger. I don't want to make you feel bad."

"But....!

Where does this strength come from? No magic, no luxury, no one's better. If that is the original nature of what we have recovered from living in the Marquis, we are worried, but proud.

Sofia raised her hand and raised her forehead. My thoughts have to be conveyed. Not only for Gilbert, but also for Sofia.

"Respect your will, Sofia. I'm worried about you. I'd be more comfortable if you stayed home and stayed out of the case. ─ ─ But Sofia is right, if you care about the territory."

Looking up, Sofia looked down on Gilbert with her eyes round. As Gilbert smiles slowly, Sofia dyes her cheeks.

"I don't mind. Let's talk about everything. I want you to come with me to Baron Lannish's territory."

It was a great preparation for Gilbert. Hans told me one day, not just to hide it, but to protect it. I don't know how to do that. Am I right in front of Sofia? Gilbert is still looking for the right answer.

"Yes...."

Sofia began to moisturize her eyes, whether she was anxious or not. The dark green shakes and Gilbert stood up. Rise your fingertips to tears before it clears. When I thought of it, I licked the fingertips, and it tasted salty and somewhat nostalgic.

"Master Gilbert... that ─ ─"

Sofia's face is bright red. Surprised, the tears won't go any further. While suppressing the urge to hold her, she gently reached out to her soft white cheeks.

"Ah, um. I don't mean to interrupt! It's not true, but it's time for me to suffer!

Gilbert stopped his hand when the voice echoed in the reception room. Kevin's face is as red and in a hurry as Sofia's. Gilbert immediately remembered the point and turned his heel back to the chair to mislead awkwardness.
