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

On Valentine's Day, Sofia and Carina had been cooking in the kitchen since the morning. Completed before noon was Gateau Chocolate. I asked the chef to borrow a refrigerator to wrap it after it cooled down.

"─ ─ I didn't ask, but who would Carina give it to?

Returning to the room, Sofia opened her mouth. Carina stopped her feet and opened her eyes in a hurry.

What?

Sofia also stopped and looked back. Carina's cheeks were dyed bright red and Sofia was surprised.

"Carina... are you okay?

"Oh, I'm sorry, Sofia!

"Yeah, it's fine, but...."

With a bitter smile, Carina rubbed the back of her hand with her opposite hand, feeling a little uncomfortable. Even Sofia is embarrassed by an unparalleled technique.

"No. It's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's just... ─ ─ I'm embarrassed because this is the first time I've done this. I understand now. Did Sofia feel the same way?

Carina, who seemed to be totally in love, was very cute from Sofia's point of view.

"Yeah, that's right. Hey, Carina, it's Valentine's Day. Good luck, next time, tell me about him."

"No...! It's not him yet ─ ─"

Based on Carina's condition, I wonder if she still thinks about it.

"You're off this afternoon, right? I think it's good to go out and relax."

"Sofia, it's about Gilbert. I'm sure you'll be home early today. Looking forward to it. Let me talk to you later!

Yeah, thanks a lot.

Sofia broke up with Carina in front of the room. In a private room, Sofia puts an indigo ring on her left pinky finger. It's more natural to wear it, it's blue like Gilbert's eyes. If you look at the clear stone, it will naturally stain your cheeks. I'm sure Gilbert is still at work. Seriously, I like it, but it is also true that I want you to come home early on such a day. With such contradictory emotions, gently touch the lighting switch with your left hand. The rising sun brightened the shadow of the window.

That was when the sun was about to set over the horizon. Sofia raised her face to the sound of a horse's hoof outside the window. Gilbert always comes home after the sun has completely set. Not to mention the early sunset this season. With this feeling and expectation, Sofia jumped out of the room.

Looking down from the top of the stairs, it was certainly Gilbert who was there, and Sofia relaxed her cheeks. I went down to Saloon with elegant manners to avoid making footsteps.

Welcome back, Mr. Gilbert.

Gilbert turns to Sofia and stops talking to Hans. My eyes met, and my chest rang.

"─ ─ I'm home, Sofia."

Move forward a few steps to be drawn to your voice. Gilbert's arm, which was immediately trapped in a natural fashion, smelled slightly sweaty. In that place, which is completely familiar with the shape of Sofia, your heartbeat really gets louder.

"Ah, um... Miss Gilbert. Because we're all here. It's embarrassing...."

Gilbert put his hand on Sofia's jaw, which was about to lean overboard. If you can lift it up, you can't distract your eyes.

"Everyone will be happy that we are getting along with our fiancée."

Gilbert does not run away from Sofia by arranging his rude reasoning. The palate was slightly overlapped so as to be sucked in by the indigo color of its eyes, which was deeper than the indigo stone.

"Master Gilbert is mean...."

Sophia, finally freed from her arms, put her hand on her cheeks, which were completely feverish. It must have turned bright red.

"I'm glad you waited for me to come home. ─ ─ Sorry."

Sofia won't forgive me if she lowers her eyebrows. Today, Sofia awaited Gilbert's return from her heart.

"No, I've been expecting you back. I'm glad you came home early. Um, today... it's Valentine's Day..."

As Sofia smiled honestly while dyeing her cheeks, Gilbert raised her mouth with joy.

"Oh, I know. So I gave this to Sofia."

Gilbert took out the contents of the paper bag that Hans was carrying. Sofia opens her eyes to surprise. That concern made my heart really hot.

Master Gilbert, this ─ ─

"My subordinates recently told me that I could give Valentine a gift from a man. Recently, I think Sofia has a strong strength in its stunning beauty. It looks exactly like this white rose to me."

The bouquet of white roses soothes Sofia's heart with soft hue wrapping. When I received it with both hands, I smelled the fluffy scent of roses from my chest. I didn't think I could be compared to a rose. That's because I thought it would suit more gorgeous and beautiful ladies.

"Thank you, thank you..."

Sophia looked up at Gilbert with her wet eyes at the unexpected gift and its words. Gilbert reaches out and gently strokes Sofia's head. The pleasant feeling was soaked with tears, wetting a circle of roses on the chest.

Having finished a slightly more lavish meal than usual, Sofia signaled the servant in charge of the service.

"Um, Miss Gilbert. I have a gift for you too."

Gilbert stops his hand trying to fold the napkin and looks at Sofia.

"I had it prepared for dessert... ah, here it is"

A servant places a plate in front of Gilbert. On top of the plate is Sofia's handmade gateau chocolate wrapped in wrapped paper and ribboned.

"Can I open it?

"Yes, I hope it suits your mouth."

Gilbert unravels the ribbon and spreads the wrapping paper. Although slightly less shaped than the cook made, Gilbert, who was confident in the taste, glanced straight at Sofia.

"─ ─ Did Sofia make this?

"The shape has collapsed a little, but the chef taught me for a while and I made it myself. This is the first time, but the taste is fine ─ ─"

Gilbert laughs deeply as Sofia speaks, as she repeats her excuses. When he realized it, Gilbert nodded once and had a sweet expression that Sofia loved.

"Thank you, I'm so happy."

The gateau chocolate became the dessert of the day. Gilbert transported the plates and cut them into pieces for Sofia.

"I don't think it would be a waste not eating the food made by Sofia alone, but it is still better to eat it with Sofia."

Sofia told her that she had removed the ring from Gilbert's kitchen practice for a while. Gilbert was still slightly distracted, but nodded.

"Um, Miss Gilbert. I don't think I like this ring telling Mr Gilbert where I am ─ ─. This time too... I was glad to think that Miss Gilbert cares about me."

"But ─ ─"

"And if there's anything else, if there's this ring... it means it's always connected to Miss Gilbert."

Gilbert takes a breath into the cheek-dyed Sofia. As Sofia tilted her neck, Gilbert sighed small.

"Sofia... I want to get married soon."

We're only a few months away from getting married. Sofia swallowed up that too honest Gilbert word, saying, "Me too."
