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

"─ ─ You should learn to treat women a little more."

Really?

Gilbert wrinkled between his eyebrows and returned it briefly. Mathias is putting his elbows on the desk and putting his hands together. That said, Gilbert's rare opportunity to get in touch with the lady is futile. Mathias sighed, but Gilbert didn't mean it.

"That's the way it is. I appreciate how easy it is for me to get along, but I don't have enough words, so I'm mistaken by everyone."

"I don't really care what other people think."

This is Prince Wang's office. Now I'm paying, and there's only Mathias and Gilbert. Sophia was put on a carriage of the Marquis of Forster, and as soon as they returned the horse, they came to this place. Though within the castle, there are only a limited number of places where you can discuss with confidence.

"─ ─ So what does it mean that Miss Sofia didn't see anything? I don't think there are more magical nobles in this country than Gilbert."

"No, Your Highness. She's probably not very magical."

Gilbert slightly lost sight. Deputy Commander and Magic Knight of the Knights of the Guards 2nd Platoon - that's Gilbert's current position as Marquis of Forster. Prince Mathias' escort is the main task, but Gilbert can be on the front lines as a magical knight and interrogate suspects. It was not only because of its rare magic amount and sword's arm, but also because of its ability to read other people's magic shakes. Sometimes magic shakes become video, audio, and you can learn the secrets and thoughts of the person you touch. Conversations make it easier to elicit the information you want. Gilbert spread out his right hand, which touched Sofia.

"─ ─ Gilbert?

I knew Mathias was looking at it like he was exploring, and Gilbert remembered the feeling of holding Sofia's wrist silently. It would be a lie to say that you were not proud. It is natural to be able to read the emotions of others from a young age, and people around me have been afraid of their abilities. It was more shocking than Gilbert himself thought to touch people and just feel the temperature of his skin and the fineness of his wrist.

What the hell are you talking about?

"Excuse me.... perhaps she has no magic."

"Magic? ─ ─ Such a thing....."

Mathias kept an eye on him. I guess Gilbert's words were unexpected. In this world, not many people have enough magic and can handle it well. Still, magic was generally thought to be as natural as flesh and blood. Even if it is a punishment for a magical criminal, it will not take more measures than magic reduction. Complete loss is synonymous with a loss of life.

"I was surprised."

"If Gilbert hadn't told you, you'd be suspicious."

"I'm sorry."

Gilbert says without moving his expression. Mathias thought it was flat, but Gilbert was very upset inside. It's impossible for a young noble lady to sleep in the woods in a shabby way. Not to mention the lack of magic, it should be treated more seriously. Because in this day and age, there are no professions that do not use magic tools.

"─ ─ So, what about Miss Sofia's luggage?"

Gilbert looked down at the trunk at his feet. There are bloody shoes on the side of the heel.

"Here. Your Highness, will you check inside?

"No, I can't stand to open a woman's luggage on my own. Just make sure you know what's in there."

Gilbert nodded and clasped his hand in the trunk. If you pour in the magic and infiltrate it, images will appear directly in the trunk of your brain. Gilbert immediately checked the contents.

"─ ─ Your clothes are in there, it seems that you packed them in a hurry. One more book and a little change....."

Oh, did you have any money?

Gilbert stopped talking about the amount to Mathias, whose expression softened slightly. Three pieces of bread is like a child's allowance.

"Yes, so what should I do?"

Gilbert was conscious not to see Sofia's shoes at the edge of his vision and asked Mathias. Mathias nodded with a smile as if she was seeing through Gilbert's heart.

"Gilbert will take the morning off. As long as you come to work from the afternoon joint training, I'll take Miss Sofia home. I'll get a doctor from here."

"─ ─ Thank you."

Gilbert answered correctly, holding the trunk and shoes in one hand and leaving the office. I was worried about the sophia I left in the carriage. Gilbert felt that Sofia's wounds, without magic or money and wandering around with minimal luggage, represented her own pain. I feel anxious about the uncertainty of my first invisible opponent.

As Gilbert walked through the hallway of the royal castle, he was unaware of his surroundings. However, from the ruthless work of using inorganic beauty and magic, Gilbert, who is called the "Black Knight" in the shadow, is in a hurry with a harsh expression, and the interchangeable people rush to avoid the edge and give way. Later, it was rumored that there had been some incident, but Gilbert was not interested in it at all.
