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

"─ ─ Isn't that a date!?

Carina, who heard about Sofia, blushed her cheeks. Sofia shook her neck worrying about the eyes of a few people who were pointed at her. Today was a holiday for both Sofia and Carina. Holidays are free to spend in the servant space in the Marquis Mansion. Many people go out, but in that case it's decided to go out with their names written at the back gate. If you don't go out, you'll get what you normally eat. In the corner of the servant hall, they were talking for a while after lunch.

"Carina! Keep your voice down....."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But you said you were going out with Miss Gilbert, right?

Carina brightens her eyes as if she were herself.

"That's... that's right. I was going shopping, so I just wanted to take you there, I'm sure."

I don't say it to my mouth, but maybe it was to deceive me about what I had hugged just before. That day, Gilbert didn't touch Sofia's hand during the conversation. A few days after that, Gilbert never talks about it. Being behaved as if nothing had happened, Sofia keeps hiding in her heart the love she has clearly realized.

"That may be so. ─ ─ Sofia, why don't you have fun? You haven't been out since you've been here."

"I don't know what I want to go to, but I don't know...."

Rather than coming here, I haven't been out of King's Landing in the last few years. Carina laughed at Sofia, who sighed away.

"─ ─ This is the Marquis of Forster, Sofia. This hall is all we need to find out."

Carina's eyes were on a bookshelf mounted on a wall. They are lined up with books brought by servants and sometimes handed over by the Marquis family. Among the things you can read freely are maps of King's Landing and tourist information.

─ ─ I see.

Sofia agrees with Carina with a slightly brighter voice. I was looking forward to it, but at the same time I was worried. I walked in King's Landing since the day they kicked me out of my house. All I remember is a painful body and a no-go mind. And I met Gilbert. At first I was confused by the painful kindness, but now I fear it will disappear.

"Here's the map."

And Sofia was astonished at the map of the king's city, which was spread out. Whether it is a tourist guide or not, there are simple pictures written around. Carina brought it to me while Sofia was thinking.

"Thank you."

"So, what do you want to buy?

Asked by Carina, Sofia leaned her neck. What you need is different from what you want.

"Sweets and... shoes and jackets? I want a simple handkerchief and needles and threads, if possible."

When I was at the Baron's, I used to embroider in my room alone. Bianca was forcing Sofia to donate to churches and orphanages as something she embroidered. Shoes are only for uniforms other than those worn that day, and I don't have any jackets other than uniforms. I'm going to give the sweets to Carina.

"What, Sofia, do you embroider?

"─ ─ I wish I could give it to you."

Sophia, dyeing her cheeks, pretended to look down at the map on the table. It's embarrassing to see Carina's face from the front. You don't have to tell anyone, or anything.

"Ahhhhh! I'm no longer jealous, Miss Gilbert. Well then... there are cheap and good clothes shops on the street, as well as confectionery shops. I'm not familiar with sewing tools, but here... oh, here, here."

Carina moved her finger on the map, pointing to a point. The paintings are carefully drawn, and it seems like a pretty big shop.

"It seems to be the largest handicraft shop in King's Landing. I think you can buy a plain handkerchief."

Sofia writes it down in her notes, thanking Carina for giving her the names of each street and shop.

"─ ─ Thanks, Carina. I had no idea."

Carina sighed with astonishment at Sofia, who honestly said thank you. Sofia leaned her neck without knowing why she was exhaled.

"That's good, but... Sofia. What are you going to wear that day?

Carina knows about the first Sophia luggage. It was a small trunk, so it would be obvious that there was not much in it.

"I had my piece and... my uniform coat, so I'm fine."

Coats and stalls for outings, supplied to match your uniform. Once again, Sofia thought the Marquis of Forster was a good place to work. But Carina didn't seem convinced, so she put her arms together and lowered her eyebrows.

"─ ─ Sofia, will you come to my room now?

"What?

Sofia leans her neck as she stares at her with a serious expression.

"I've never heard of a coat for a date! I'll lend you my clothes, so I'll check the size now."

Carina folds the map and puts it back on the bookshelf.

"Well, that's why it's not a date...."

"Don't hesitate."

Sofia hesitates, and Carina pulls her arm out of the servant's hall. I was embarrassed to be floating even though I haven't even decided on a date yet. Still, Carina was delighted and looking forward to going out with Gilbert. Sophia's feelings were, above all, eloquently expressed by nature's lightening steps.
