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

Sophia, anxious about how far she would walk with her shoe-shaped feet, had another anxiety about the two horses that immediately appeared. White horse and black horse. A well-maintained, glossy, hairy horse belongs to Mathias and Gilbert, respectively.

"I was going to run Gilbert through the woods this morning to escort him. ─ ─ No, I picked up something strange."

Gilbert threw a bottle of water at Sofia with no expression on Mathias, with a slender tone. Sofia receives it reflectively, but she doesn't know what to do and sees it as a substitute for the water bottle and Gilbert.

"Drink. It hurts to hear."

Gilbert quickly lost sight and connected Sofia's trunk to the horse. Sofia stares seriously at the water bottle in her hand. Gilbert strokes the hyena like he lost interest in Sofia.

When I opened the lid of the water bottle, it smelled refreshing citrus. If you include it in your mouth little by little, you can see that it is fruit water with moderate acidity. I felt comfortable getting out of my throat.

"─ ─ Thank you very much."

Gilbert received a water bottle from Sofia as Sofia thanked her a little.

Let's go. Come on, get in.

Gilbert turned his face to the horse and said as a matter of course. Sofia lowers her eyebrows in trouble. The horse is tall, and there is no way he can ride the sophia that he and his father rode together when he was young. Gilbert's horse was huge and he was afraid of getting closer. Sofia shakes her neck to the left and right in a hurry.

"... please don't mind me ─ ─"

Pull a step forcefully. Mathias smiled instantly when Sofia felt sorry for Gilbert, who seemed upset.

"─ ─ Gilbert, there's no way a lady can ride a horse alone."

Sofia feels a little saved by the words of Mathias, who shelters her. But that doesn't solve things. Sophia, who was stuck on patrol, was grabbed and lifted by Gilbert at a distance the next moment.

"─ ─ Yikes......"

Sofia meditates aggressively on the feeling of being in the universe. When she opened her eyes to the slightly unstable solidity of the sitting place, it was already on the black horse, and Sofia was exposing her feet in front of Gilbert's eyes.

"....."

I rushed to hold the hem of the dress because of the embarrassment, but it was just a waste of time on an unstable horse. Sofia can't stand dyeing her cheeks, but Gilbert can't help but put his hand on Sofia's shoes and take them off right away.

"You don't need shoes on a horse."

Gilbert, who had loaded Sophia's shoes with the trunk, didn't even notice Sophia stuck in surprise. Gilbert grabbed the rope and hung his left foot over the horse at once. Sofia can't hide her confusion in a useless work she knows she's used to riding and in a position surrounded by arms. A little further away, I saw Mathias laughing.

Well, let's go home soon.

Gilbert immediately followed Mathias, who had kicked the horse's stomach first, with a word of blame.

"─ ─ Your Highness, please do not leave the forest."

"Even if you don't get the sword, will Gilbert be okay?

"That's not the problem. You'll see."

Mathias and Gilbert slapped each other flat enough to think they were running side-by-side on horses. Sofia just keeps her sanity to the speed and height she has never experienced and to the certainty of Gilbert's arms supporting her back. The saddle is for one person, and Sofia will soon fall without Gilbert's support. Grab Gilbert's arm with a red palm. I was afraid of closing my eyes and opening them.

"─ ─ It's okay, I won't drop it."

A little further away, the voice was so small and low that it would have been misunderstood by the sound of the wind. Sofia scolds Gilbert's face, but Gilbert drives his horse flat to nothing. Sofia fell into the illusion that her previous anxiety had vanished in a word that was nothing. The trees of the forest flow behind each other. Eventually, a chalky castle appeared in front of him, which had only been seen through the window of the Baron's Mansion room.

Upon arrival at the royal castle, Sofia was taken to the carriage yard behind her. Gilbert, who got off the horse earlier, took it for granted and pushed it into a higher-quality carriage than ever before. I didn't get my trunk and shoes back. The soft seat softly wrapped Sofia's body, which had become stiff on horseback riding. The cheeks were much hotter in the sudden situation, but more than that, Gilbert's vibrancy, the sophisticated beauty of the carriage, and his figure, which was so vague, were not so similar that he wanted to disappear from the scene.

"Um...."

"Wait here for a moment. ─ ─ Don't run."

Gilbert uttered words like he was reading Sofia's mind. When Sophia nodded, Gilbert pulled the rope of the black horse and headed to the royal castle with Mathias. Sophia, who was left alone, hugged herself with her arms around her body, trembling in the loneliness she was now attacking.
