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

"Did you really go out?"

Gilbert kept an eye on Sofia. I was told not to leave town, but I thought it was from the previous Sofia and not from the inn.

"Shouldn't I...?

Your anxious eyes are shaking. Gilbert shook his neck to the left and right to deny Sofia's words.

"─ ─ No. Trying to get out is a good thing."

Gilbert was the first to expand the narrow world of Sofia. I brought him to Baron Rainish's territory to solve the case, but I was hoping that Sofia would be able to make a deal with her life.

Gilbert's sweets are placed on a small table. I'm glad to be modest. Sofia smiled softly.

"We'll come back tomorrow. ─ ─ I'll put Kevin on Sofia."

I really wanted Gilbert to be by my side, but I didn't. At today's meeting, I decided to rendezvous next week to search the Baron's Mansion and its associated facilities. You will have Sofia come with you that day. There are places where you can't step in without the Baron. Tomorrow, Gilbert and the others decided to go to the cliff where the accident occurred. It is strange that two people died in a noble carriage accident. Where was he?

"Am I bothering you? I'm glad you need a knight...."

Sofia leaned slightly. The connected hands are trembling slightly. A healthy figure is teased and healed by the time you are at the side.

"No, I don't mind. We also need to listen to the town. Sometimes you notice something."

"Thank you."

There are many problems, not one case. However, the overall morale of the joint investigation has improved since Sofia took the necklace. If the contents of the recorded dispute are discovered, it will be decisive evidence. The search for matching earrings and earrings is still underway. I also asked the jeweler, but it was the common view of the 2nd Platoon and the task force that it would be hidden somewhere in the Baron's Mansion.

Secret Service is taking shelter in a town closer to Baron Lannish than Gilbert and the others. The second platoon should also proceed with the interview with the town. It will certainly lead to the future of Sofia. Gilbert grasped back the connected hand.

─ ─ Don't push me.

Say it with a hard voice. Sofia nodded honestly to it. The church that Sofia went out today was near the inn. Due to its management status and reputation, it has been denied involvement in the case first. It's dangerous at night, but if you're with Kevin, you'll be relieved to go a little further.

"Yes, Mr. Gilbert."

Since arriving in the Territory, Sofia has been grieved every time she learns about the status quo. It seems true that she has hardly been outside before. Gilbert knew the cause was the current Baron and his wife.

What about Sofia?

Cut off, Gilbert stared straight at Sofia from the front. Sofia stares back at her cheeks with a little dye.

"This is... you like baron territory? It's not all good memories for you."

It is a place where you were born and raised, but also a place where you lost a lot. You may have memories of your parents, but it was also here that you took them.

"─ ─ Dear Gilbert. I still can't... hate this place. You don't know Gilbert, do you? It was such a warm, gentle, and lovely place to be right now. That's why I can't just forget it and hate it..."

The sincere dark green eyes had a strong will. Gilbert sighs small and relaxes his shoulders.

"Well... I'm relieved to hear that. Sofia loves this territory as it is. Someday, I wish I could see this place in your memory."

Sofia smiles happily. Gilbert stroked his head, fingered his soft hair and enjoyed a smooth touch. It's adorable how I narrow my eyes a little. To protect this smile, Gilbert had to solve the case as soon as possible.

The next morning, while Sophia and Kevin were on their way, Gilbert went on an investigation with Tobias. The destination is the cliff where the carriage fell. After running the horse for about an hour from the inn, get off the horse and connect it to the right tree.

Right here.

"─ ─ Oh, yeah."

It seems to be paved the way now. Even at the cliff, a wooden pile was struck and a rope was stretched. Did you repair it after the accident? Looking down, it seems to be quite deep.

"I'm going down. Tobias is coming."

"─ ─ Of course. I'm coming, too."

Seriously Tobias blushed his face a little. In fact, it is rarely overlooked to check with multiple people. Gilbert found a relatively gentle slope and used magic towards himself and Tobias' feet.

"Is there nothing left?"

Gilbert murmured, without telling anyone, under a cliff with fallen leaves. Looking up, the sky peers over the trees that have completely dropped leaves. It was five years ago. I don't know much when I come to the scene.

"─ ─ But I think it's strange that you're alive."

"Yeah, me too."

If you fell off this cliff, you shouldn't have done it alone. Not to mention the early summer. There are no fallen leaf cushions on the ground.

"They say it's hosted by the Vicomte of the neighboring territories at a night party during the season off. Is the Vicomte an accomplice?

"─ ─ No, it doesn't matter."

I can only say this because Gilbert read the magic of Baron Lannish. Tobias will not say anything more because he also knows.

"But there's something unnatural about it. Would you choose this path if you were to return from the Vicomte du Ville?"

"Sure, I wouldn't choose. It's unnatural to go around and have a bad road."

Looking up and walking, there was a place where the sky looked beautiful as if a hole had been punctured. The branches around it are broken, and there are places where the tip is dead. Even if the wind raised the fallen leaves, all the young buds at their feet were preparing for spring.
