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

Sofia exhales when she says that the little magic stone that her parents bought when she was a child will only be able to be used a few times later. The sky was gradually turning from red to dark blue.

"─ ─ It's getting dark, so we need to find somewhere to sleep."

Sofia stood up with tired feet as she continued walking. Sofia had no money to stay at the inn and was prepared to stay in the wilderness tonight. But even unknown Sofia knows that young women's lodging in places with many people is dangerous.

Sofia decided to head for the woods that stretched from behind the castle to the edge of the commercial district. It seems that the forests managed by the royal family have boundaries so as not to leave dangerous beasts without going deep into them. It hurts my heart to enter on my own, but I can't replace my stomach with my back. When I got out of the trail, I walked a little confused. Even though the trunk was small, it was heavy on Sofia's hand. When I managed to get to the woods, the sun was completely dark, even as I stopped at the point where I was about to bump into the weight.

"Excuse me...."

Sophia walked into the woods, greeting the darkness where no one was. The Royally Managed Forest has no route from the commercial district side. We had no choice but to pass through the grassy trees. The leaves cut the soft skin and one-piece fabric into small pieces. The chirp echoed in silence.

Still, after a while, he came out a little open. A small sound of water can also be heard nearby. Looking for the source of the water sound with the eyes that had become accustomed to the darkness, I found spring water flowing thinly from between the rocks. Sofia leaves the trunk and looks seriously at it as she approaches her feet. When I put water in both washed hands and licked it a little, it looked like clear water.

"Delicious ─ ─"

For Sofia today, who has been walking without water or food, it was just water. Store water in your hands and carry it to your mouth many times. When my thirsty throat moisturized, the pain that I forgot came back. There were a lot of small cuts on her hands and feet, and her heels were bloodstained with bad shoe scratches. Sofia takes off her shoes and washes her hands and feet with water. The moment she wiped it with a handkerchief in pain, Sofia sat down on the spot.

With this body that can't use magic tools, it is very unlikely that you will find a job without a guardian. Even if you use Magic Stone, it is financially impossible to buy it again after it is broken.

Even the life of Baron Rainish, who has been bullied, is now more blessed for Sofia. Alberto was kind and gentle to Sofia every time he met her. Whether it was a crop or not, it was the only salvation for Sofia.

"─ ─ Why?"

The death of his parents, his uncle's succession to the throne, Sophia's expulsion to the corner of the mansion, the transformation of antique furniture into the latest magic equipment, his beatings, his contempt compared to Bianca, the abandonment of his engagement from Alberto, and now that he had no place to be kicked out, seemed to have been pushed into reality all at once by the irrationality beyond his control in a small Sophia's body. The wound in my heart that I kept from feeling was pus because I was pretending not to see it. If this forest is empty, I don't mind crying. Sofia rounded up her body in the grass. Tears come down from my eyes. The crying made my body hot, the grass was surprisingly warm, and I didn't feel the autumn cold.

I feel tired of crying and asleep. Sofia raised her swollen eyelids and opened her eyes. The morning sun is stabbing me so painfully. Have I overslept? I feel like I can hear people talking. It seemed to show Sofia that when she wakes up the body, the pieces are stiff and now it's real.

"─ ─ Hey, I heard you were someone."

Sophia suddenly turned her consciousness back to reality with a low, well-resonating man's voice that came into her ear. I noticed a stranger pointing his sword at my throat.

"─ ─ Hi......"

Answer the question now.

Faced up, there was a man with a harsh expression and a black knighthood. Silver hair shines through the morning sun, and deep blue eyes gaze at Sofia. It's powerful when you have a beautiful face. Sofia couldn't even breathe at a distance when she was about to touch the sword.

"Hey, Gilbert. I'm not pointing a sword at a lady face to face."

A little further away, I heard a distressing voice. Sofia tried to turn her face toward you ─ ─ and was quickly prevented by a sword.

"But, Your Highness..."

"It's okay. Look, you're scared. Put your sword away, Gilbert."

The man who was pointing his sword at Sofia - Gilbert put the sword in his sheath and stared at Sofia with his blue eyes. Without a sword, Gilbert could easily do anything like Sofia.

"─ ─ So who are you?"

Sophia opened her mouth slightly to the question she was asked.

"My name is Sofia Renish. ─ ─ I sincerely apologize for entering the forest on my own initiative."
