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

When she woke up the next morning, Sofia was surprised at the brightness of the room. Looking out the window in a hurry, the sun seems to be completely above. Of course, after Gilbert and the others left.

On a small piece of paper placed on the desk was Gilbert's handwriting, which was still unfamiliar, with a short greeting on the way out.

"I must have fallen asleep."

Sighing won't bring us back time. Gilbert probably cared about Sofia because he didn't wake up. I know, but I miss you a little. I changed into a simple dress and went down to the restaurant on the ground floor.

"─ ─ Oh. Hello, Mr. Fee."

"Mr. Alma. Hello."

Sofia ordered a meal for one person in the way she remembered when she came here. Sit on a chair and watch the food lined up at the table. I realize that I haven't eaten anything since last night, and I remember my hunger for the delicious scent.

"Still, I can't believe those people who came with Fei were the knights of King's Landing."

"Eh?"

Surprised by Alma's words, Sofia stopped eating. But Alma laughs as she should.

"I mean, yesterday and today, I'm wearing tight clothes. No, I've never seen it before, but knights are so cool."

"Ah... that's right. Yeah, I think it's nice too."

Thinking about it, the day they went to Baron Rainish's, they were dressed in knights. And today, you probably didn't have to hide it anymore.

"So? There are three of them, but Mr. Fei's lover is that silver-haired guy?

"─ ─ Ha, ha..."

Put your hands on your hot cheeks. The three of them are Gilbert, Kevin and Tobias, but how do you know they're Gilbert?

"Well, one of them is on the way. That guy really cares about Mr. Fi. ─ ─ That's why the knight was delusional about investigating the case while escorting his lover's daughter. There were rumors this morning that the Lord's Mansion was full of Knights. I thought maybe."

It is frightening that the delusion is not too far off. And the rumors spread so quickly? It's not Sofia's escort, but it's definitely here for the investigation.

"Rumor... is that what you're talking about?

"Oh, that's right. Well, they weren't good lords, but you're still worried about what's going to happen to the territory. Well, it may not be worse than it is now."

Alma laughs funny. Sofia noticed it and opened her eyes. The Lord of Baron Rainish is his uncle. If my aunt and uncle have been arrested, who will go on? Territories that are no longer owned are often rewarded or auctioned off by someone under their control after they have become kingdom.

─ ─ That's right.

Whilst returning the word of consent, Sofia was somewhere empty. Baron Lannish is the land that Sofia's parents loved. I had no choice but to be honest with myself.

Unexpecting anything in particular, Sofia somehow decided to walk around the hotel. Even if you're in a room, you think about all the bad things. The town is a little more calm in the afternoon than in the morning. If what Alma has said before is correct, Sofia seems to have visited the town with her parents when she was young.

─ ─ I can't remember.

I thought it might remind me of something, but is it still impossible? I remember walking through some town in the realm. At that time, I always received a small allowance and bought confectionery and accessories. Now that I think about it, perhaps it was to get used to the familiar Sofia.

The town wasn't so big, but it was too big for Sofia to walk around alone. After walking for a while, all the roads were unknown. I decided to give up and return to the inn on the way to the back alley.

"Oh, but this shop ─ ─"

What was there was a small grocery store with no freaks. Somehow intrigued by the cuteness of the appearance, Sofia opened the door.

"Welcome!

It seems that the store mainly handles various groceries such as household goods. Some cups and plates, even ribbons and embroidered threads. Just like the appearance, it's cute all the way inside. The walls were framed and decorated with small paintings and embroidery.

"Most of the work on the wall came from customers. If you'd like, take a look."

A girl in apron is in charge of the shop. Maybe younger than Sofia. With a strange feeling, I lowered my head lightly and decided to look at the work of the wall as I was told.

Embroidery and paintings range from what children make for the first time to what can be described as the work of a craftsman or artist.

"─ ─ There are a lot of different people's works."

"Yes, this shop has been around since my grandmother. So there are a lot of people I've never met."

The girl smiled and told me whether she was happy to be spoken to. It would have been here for decades if it had been for the girl's grandmother. Surprised and somehow a little happy at the same time.

I see. Thank you very much. "

If you look back at the wall, some of the edges do turn yellow. In the meantime, one embroidery stopped my eyes.

It's a simple embroidery, like a child stabbed, with no freaks. There are several peach flowers blooming in the tangle of plants. The letter S was stitched off small on the edge.

"─ ─ Um, what's wrong with this?

Seeing what Sofia pointed at, the girl approached.

Oneesan, are you worried about this? Well, the young lady of the previous lord, Sophia, certainly stabbed her, so she gave it to me from the wife who came to town. I don't know if it's true. My mother takes care of it and decorates it in the shop. "

The girl raised her laughter while tilting her head. Sofia knows it's real, even if no one else knows it. I did stab myself. The needles are not aligned and the pin that should become a gentle curve is broken tightly everywhere. Even though I can't remember this store, this embroidery must have been made while teaching my mother when I was much younger. Sofia lifts her face as she bears the risk of crying.

"─ ─ Um, can I take a picture of this...?

"Well, if you're going to do it on the edge, that's fine...?

"Thank you...!

Sofia then bought cheap notepads and pens at the store and copied the embroidery. Sometimes it wasn't a very complicated pattern, and it took less than an hour to finish the work.

"─ ─ And then, um..."

Choose the right cloth, thread, and embroidery. Thanks to the shop for the town people, I was able to buy everything I wanted with only the money that Sofia had.

I hurried back to the inn and spread the pictures on my desk with a copy of what I had bought. Until Gilbert and the others came back, Sofia kept confronting them without leaving the room.
