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

It was an unfamiliar shopping experience, but thanks to Carina's advice, Sofia managed to choose her shoes and coat. For Sofia, who didn't know what to choose, Carina asked the clerk to buy the most classic before going out. It was a concern to ensure that Sofia, who could not buy much, could be worn with any outfit. Gilbert was the one who helped Sofia without being able to speak to the clerk.

"Thank you very much. ─ ─ I don't think I could have bought anything by myself."

I'm still nervous about conversations with others. In the Marquis of Forster, it was a conversation that was established because everyone was in the same position as a servant, but if you step outside, you'll know nothing about each other. I feel sorry for being in a friendly world under Gilbert's protection.

─ ─ You're a handicraftsman after all. Let's have lunch first. "

Gilbert, who took a bag of shopping from Sofia's hand, held it together in one hand and muttered something small. Suddenly the luggage disappeared from my hand.

"Um... luggage?"

Gilbert answered surprisingly, asking Sofia to stop.

"I sent it to the carriage first. You'll get in the way."

"Thank you...."

Sophia blushed slightly as she thought she was using metastasis magic. It should have been the magic used to replenish the front lines of the battlefield. The knowledge read in the book is linked to reality. I don't think it is used to send what Sofia bought to the carriage. He leaned slightly, but Gilbert had no way of knowing the inside of Sofia.

Then buy two hot sandwiches at the stall in the square that was rightfully pulled away. Gilbert paid two sums of money to hold on to Sofia, who tried to pay. Sit side-by-side on a nearby bench and bring hot sandwiches to your mouth.

"─ ─ Well, Miss Gilbert is familiar with King's Landing."

Gilbert didn't hesitate to pick the stall. Have you ever eaten before? Gilbert slightly distorted his mouth when he asked the Marquis, who bought hot sandwiches on the street like a civilian.

"When His Majesty leaves with patience, I am usually the escort."

"That's right. ─ ─ Thanks. It's very delicious."

I see. I'm glad. "

The red fruit of the checkerberry that marks the beginning of winter adds a touch of colour to the colorless seasonal landscape among the plaza-lined planters. It is cute to put the fruit in a thick and heavy way.

─ ─ Um

"What is it?"

As soon as he opens his mouth with courage, Gilbert looks at Sofia.

"What does Gilbert do for a living?

Sophia was unfamiliar with the long name of Deputy Commander and Magic Knight of the Knights of the Kinsai 2nd Platoon. When Gilbert's magic is tied to the knowledge gained in the book, a small, indelible fear spreads. Gilbert dropped his gaze and started talking.

"It's my job. ─ ─ The second platoon was a squad under His Royal Highness Prince Wang. Your Majesty's escort is taking turns. As a magical knight, investigating serious cases, arresting suspects, investigating, etc., are the main tasks."

"Um, do you ever go out on the front lines?

Sofia listened honestly to her anxiety. However, Gilbert, who is performing his duties as a matter of course, answers with a flat voice without having to know such anxiety.

"Oh, not much, but sometimes it's driven by requests from Border Guards, Beast crusades, and conflicts in neighboring countries."

An uncle of the border is a nobleman who has territory near the border. They are allowed by the state to organize their own troops, and sometimes they fight other countries to defend their borders. Sofia also knew that the southern neighboring countries were particularly bloody and seemed to be experiencing frequent conflicts.

Yes ─ ─ I see.

Sophia fell into the feeling of being caught in the eagle of her heart, feeling the struggle that she had felt from afar. Unexpectedly gains power. The hot sandwich was crushed a little and the wrapping paper burst.

"But it's really rare. I'm not worried about you ─ ─"

Did you notice the change in Sofia, the moment Gilbert tried to supplement it?

"Yikes! Thief!!

I heard a woman scream from the front of the square. Sophia looks at Gilbert as she tightens her expression and stands up. Just before the woman sat down, a man with something turned his back and was about to run away.

"─ ─ Sorry. Stay here."

Gilbert, speaking in an unconvinced voice, quickly rushed to the scene. She glanced at the woman who was still stunned, passing by, and followed him to the back of the alley where the man disappeared. Sofia stared until she was blind, remembering the glimpse of Gilbert's face at work, and clasped her hands with anxiety.

It is painful to be caught in the face of the reality that crime is happening in this country, which is said to be safe. It wasn't in the little Baron Rainish or the gentle Forster Marquis.

"....."

In Sofia's sight, where remorse and sadness are mixed, the people of the city are embracing the woman of the victim. Apparently it was just a minor injury, sitting on a bench and being treated easily.

Although the commercial district of Wang Dynasty, the square was not very crowded. The bench is not filled, and unlike the road, it is not crowded. Sofia thought it would be a safe place if she didn't move alone. A little Gilbert hot sandwich remains on the bench. Sofia didn't want to bother or worry about Gilbert at all. I try to eat my own food and keep myself quiet, and I look up.

"─ ─ Sofia...?

It was too unexpected for Sofia to see the group of men and women there.
