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

According to Carina, Gilbert is now 25 years old and is a magical knight and deputy captain of the 2nd platoon of the Knights of the King's Guard under the direct command of Prince Wang. It was a profession far too far from magical knights for a magical-free Sofia. It sounds like the story of a world I don't know, but I'm sure only magical people can use it delicately to dry their hair.

"The ancestors of the Marquis have relinquished the throne and are running the territory on behalf of Gilbert, a knight who cannot leave the capital. I don't have any brothers, so only Gilbert lives in this building."

As a young Marquis, Gilbert finally found out why he lived alone in this large building.

"But why is Gilbert alone?... do you have a fiancé?"

Sofia leans her neck. The word "engagement" tingled in the back of my chest, but I was distracted from the pain. Carina stares at Sofia with a look that she doesn't mind saying is stunned. The expression scared Sofia a little.

"─ ─ I mean, Sofia, you've been here for over a week, and you really... you didn't know anything. That's why I'm telling you that I spent the rest of my life in Miss Gilbert's room, and I think it's amazing."

Sophia is sorry about the spicy carina.

I'm sorry, Carina.

"No, Sofia's not bad. ─ ─ Gilbert is very popular with young ladies. That looks like a marquis, a knight... and yet there's no woman who actually tries to get close."

……

Sofia, who really doesn't understand, waits for Carina's next words. Carina lay down her eyes as if they were evil.

"Everyone knows it, even if they don't work here. Gilbert said that his magic was strong and he read the shake of the magic of the person he touched. It looks like you can 'see' anything you want to hide. Even though I know Master Gilbert is better... everyone is afraid to be peeked at by others."

Sofia watched Carina's story. I always remember being touched when I was having a conversation. I thought maybe I was peeking, but Sofia doesn't have magic. I remember the conversation between Gilbert and Mathias when we first met.

─ ─ Gilbert, did you see anything?

No, the opposite is true. ─ ─ I didn't see anything. "

Gilbert grabbed Sofia's wrist. Matthias must have heard about Sofia's traits.

"Nothing....?

Gilbert certainly said he didn't see anything. At that time, you realized that Sofia no longer had magic, so you brought her to your room without magic equipment to protect her. Then why do you always touch Sofia when you talk? The more you listen, the less Gilbert sees.

"Sophia, are you okay?

The carefree shook Sophia's shoulders and her consciousness retracted to reality. I couldn't see the carina sitting next to me and I lay down for the first time. Still, Sofia raised her face and stared at Carina's eyes.

"Carina, I need you to tell me. ─ ─ Why doesn't Gilbert have magic equipment in his room?

Sofia desperately waited for her eyes to become moist and asked Carina. Carina sighed small and took her hand off Sofia's shoulder, which she remained in touch with.

"You must be wearing Gilbert's right hand and bracelet. The magic is too strong, and the magic equipment touched breaks when you take it off. I don't know why, but I don't think I'm wearing it all the time, and I'm taking off my bracelet in my private room and office."

I couldn't say anything. Sofia had no idea that Gilbert's actions and belongings had all been justified. ─ ─ No, I didn't want to know.

"Old tools aren't magic tools, they're antique, so people hate it because it's too much care ─ ─...... Sofia?!

The sandwich, which was on its way, fell out of Sofia's hand. There was a rustling sound and it fitted in the basket that was placed on the knee. Carina stood up in a hurry and shook Sofia's hands.

"Ka, Carina... me ─ ─"

The tears that you were supposed to have endured were mellow and zero. I hate to bother Carina and want to stop crying quickly, but the tears didn't stop as if they were overflowing from Sofia's heart. I have something to tell Gilbert, but I don't know how to tell him now.

"I'm sorry... Carina. It's okay, it's okay ─ ─"

Speaking desperately, the word sounds unreliable to Sofia's own ears. I don't want Carina to worry about making me feel better, but I feel sorry for myself.

"Ahhhh, what do you mean it's okay? You had something to think about. ─ ─ Fine, I won't ask you anything, just eat it now!

Carina let Sofia go and forced her to hold the sandwich. Sofia honestly carries the sandwich to her mouth without stopping her tears. As soon as I ate it, I felt my body warming up like gentleness spreading.

"Thank you... I'll eat it properly."

"That's right, you can't do anything without eating. Do you have an afternoon job? ─ ─ Just finish up and go see Miss Gilbert."

"─ ─ Carina, that's..."

"Oh, you're going to Gilbert's room today, aren't you?

Sofia was distracted, but she was told to go to Gilbert's private room once. He said that he wanted to work as a servant and that he was preparing a room for Sofia, so he would give guidance and explanation. Carina certainly kept it in the corner of the room.

"That's not true... thank you, Carina. I'll do my best this afternoon."

Carina was relieved when Sofia grabbed her hand and stopped crying. With less time left, Sofia and Carina returned to the Mansion after eating all the lunches they thought to be plentiful.
