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

Sofia sat still in the carriage seat with her eyes closed. Though there are a lot of things to think about, your thoughts are not well organized. Sofia didn't even know what was going to happen to her. It was only yesterday that Baron Rainish was kicked out, but now it feels like it was a long time ago. Sophia opened her closed eyes as soon as she squeezed the hem of the dress with both hands because of the care.

"─ ─ Knight?

With strong light coming in from the open door, Sofia immediately narrows her eyes. Gilbert's silver hair was shining in dazzling sunlight. Gilbert, sitting opposite Sofia, placed Sofia's trunk and shoes on the carriage floor.

"I made you wait. ─ ─ Let me out."

With short instructions, the carriage began to move quickly. Gilbert puts his hands on his lap and is staring at Sofia. Sofia looked miserable and looked down again. The carriage keeps running with the two of them in silence. After a while, Sofia opened her mouth with courage.

"─ ─ Um... Can I have my shoes back?

It was also a real wish for Sofia today. It's impossible not to wear shoes outside. It was also embarrassing to expose a wounded leg to others. However, Gilbert shakes his neck clearly to the left and right without moving a single eyebrow.

"I'll be right there. You don't need shoes on your feet."

Sofia blinked at Gilbert's words. I don't know what they said, but I tilt my neck inside. The words that tried to continue were hindered by Gilbert's gaze. Seen from the front, Gilbert's eyes were clear and blue, and Sofia felt calm in the wrong place.

"─ ─ The scratches on my shoes are terrible. Leave me alone."

The wipe and immediately diverted gaze were directed at Sofia's shoes placed on the carriage floor. Sofia also looked at Gilbert's shoes and noticed that there was dry blood on her heel.

"I'm sorry..."

"Why are you apologizing?

"I showed you something ugly."

"─ ─ I don't mind."

For the first time, Sofia realized that Gilbert cared for me. The fear of being sworn face-to-face and the anxiety from now on still persist, but I forgive you a little more that you are not a bad person.

When I was a little nervous, I was worried that the dirt on my shoes would wash off. I bring only one pair of shoes. Sofia sighed small enough not to be noticed by Gilbert.

─ ─ Here we are.

As Gilbert said, we arrived at our destination in no time. If you believe Matthias and Gilbert, Sophia may have been brought to the Townhouse of the Marquis of Forster. The door of the carriage was opened from the outside, and before Sofia was a noble mansion with a more elegant appearance than one might have expected in history.

It's a three-storey building that looks like a townhouse, and it's a beautiful old building with an outer wall. The plants and flowers in the garden are carefully cared for. Sofia looked at the sight.

"Dear Gilbert, I just heard from you that you are returning from the royal castle. Are there any urgent matters?

Somewhere in a hurry, the butler man, who approached the carriage a few steps from the front entrance, peeked inside the carriage and noticed Sofia's presence and stopped moving. A soft old man with a soft vibe.

"... Miss Gilbert?

"Hans, I'm back. Take this to my room."

Gilbert passed Sofia's trunk and shoes to Hans from inside the carriage. Hans receives reflectively and avoids sideways in front of the carriage. One of them was too different from the servants of the Baron's family who, together with his uncle and aunt, had made Sofia evil. Once again, I think that Sofia has come to an outrageous place.

"─ ─ I knew it...!?

Sofia's words, which she tried to keep trying, were swallowed by Gilbert holding them in her hands. As he stepped out of the carriage, he shook and grabbed Gilbert's black knighthood aggressively.

Once inside the mansion, the servants' eyes turned towards Sofia and Gilbert. A maid or servant who might have been working is surprised at Gilbert holding Sofia. Gilbert just walked past the saloon and started climbing the stairs.

"Ah, um... ─ ─ I can walk! I can walk....."

"Don't make me say it again."

It was said that Sofia swallowed the words. Satisfied with the silent Sofia, Gilbert carries it upstairs to the most splendid room with doors. Gilbert cleverly opened the door with Sofia in his arms.

It was the Marquis' main private room, and the interior was unified with deep blue carpets and cloths and monotone accessories. Sophia dyes her cheeks as she sees Gilbert in a simple room with little play. Gilbert finally unloaded Sofia at the entrance to his private bathroom, which was just past the room.
