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

Then, two weeks later, Sofia was forced to work as a maid and prepare for a night club. I am not accustomed to behaving like a noble lady, even though I have basic manners. Although you know the steps of the dance, posture, gaze, and technique when escorted can only be worn with a baked blade. It was a day to finish work earlier than usual and devote that amount of time to studying.

I thought it was for Gilbert's sake that I managed to keep up with my busy days. Gilbert, worried about Sofia's complexion, encouraged her many times.

Then, a few days before the evening party, Sophia and Carina were called to the maid.

"- Sofia. It's time for the evening party, but I'll let Carina help. I will have you study as my assistant. Very good, Carina."

The maid's voice was always harsh, but the expression was calm. Carina flashed her face and put her hands in front of her chest.

"Thank you!

Contrary to Carina, who seemed to be happy, Sofia feared having the maid lead the night club. Before he became maid maid, he was also the maid of the previous Marquis. But he remembered Hans' words and swallowed the words of denial.

"Thank you, maid. Um... thank you very much."

Lower your head deeply. The maid chief smiled bitterly and urged Sofia to raise her head.

"─ ─ No, I'm glad. Good work till today. Rest for the rest of the day and prepare for the evening."

It is unusual for the maid to speak softly to Sofia. I certainly haven't slept well for a while. I couldn't stand being spotted, and I suddenly leaned. But remembering what she had worn in two weeks, Sofia immediately raised her face and smiled.

"Yes, thank you for your concern."

Stretch your spine and look straight at the person you're talking to. Remember to smile and speak clearly. When there is no place to go, combine in front. Words that are repeated so persistently as to penetrate resonate on the back of your head.

"Sofia, that's amazing. Something like this... feels like a little girl."

"That's right. It is well made to be a baked blade."

I'm ashamed not to be myself, but I'm honestly glad to be praised. Did you get a little closer to stand next to Gilbert?

Good luck.

Sophia was nervous as the night club approached. I was chased by work and study every day, and even when I was asleep, I dreamed about it. When they exhaled in peace of mind, they felt a little relieved by the fear of the night club.

On the evening party day, Sofia bathed with Carina's help from noon and carefully oiled her hair. The refreshing, sweet citrus and floral notes of Bergamot lighten Sofia's heart.

"I'm kind of relieved by this scent."

Carina murmured and raised her tongue to a prank. Sofia leans her neck without knowing why she looks like that.

"I heard from Hans. ─ ─ It seems that Bergamot oil is also used for Gilbert's perfume."

Was Gilbert's perfume formulated at the Marquis? Even though I was convinced, I was embarrassed by what I said. In other words, did Sofia feel comfortable with Gilbert's scent? I can see my cheeks dyed red on my own.

"Sofia, I know how you feel, but calm down now. I don't know the color of my makeup."

"Sorry."

Sofia dragged her mouth to the calm voice of the maid captain. Carina also tightens her mind.

"─ ─ But it's okay to relax a little bit."

Relax with a warm voice. Carina and I looked at each other and giggled. Eventually the makeup was finished, and the maid began to wrap Sofia's hair with Carina's help.

"Sofia's hair is long and beautiful."

"Oh... is that so?

When I was at Baron Lannish's house, I had depressed hair compared to Bianca's glossy blonde hair. Sofia's light brown hair, which was dull without care at the time, is now shining with a refreshing reflection of indoor light. The maid head wrapped the hair in half up while weaving it intricately. When Carina presents a small white flower, the maid receives it and inserts it into Sofia's hair as she looks at the balance.

I felt like I wasn't in the mirror. Sophia noticed something about the clear and pathetic noble lady there.

Outside the window, which is getting darker and darker, is teaching how time goes by.

"Yes, it's very nice. Let's get dressed."

Sofia hasn't seen the finished dress yet. At the time of measurement, there was no cloth and I had no idea what it would look like. As a matter of fact, Hans was careful not to show it, but Sofia doesn't know it.

"─ ─ Mademoiselle, I brought it!

From the closet, Carina walks fast with a chunk of cloth. Looking at it, Sofia took a breath.

"Um, this is..."

"Gilbert chose it."

It was a princess line dress with pale light light blue chest and a yellow gradient across the hem. It's made of shiny silk with a chiffon ribbon on the waist. It is lovely to have a decoration that mimics white flowers everywhere.

The maid captain and Carina wore it and Sofia couldn't move.

"What should I do with this dirt...?!

"It looks good on you. You're okay."

Carina laughed slightly stunned. The maid chief nodded with satisfaction.

─ ─ That's all I have left.

The maid held the velvety box on the mirror stand and opened it in front of Sofia. Inside were earrings and necklaces of blue crystal stones that resembled Gilbert's eyes.

"It's a beautiful color...."

The maid captain and Carina smiled when they murmured without telling anyone. Until then, tension and anxiety disappear into the glow of the stone. It must have been expensive, but for some reason it felt like the support of my heart.

"─ ─ Sofia, don't worry. Because it's so beautiful."

Carina pushes Sofia's back. In Saloon, Gilbert was supposed to be ready first.
