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

"Hey, Miss Sofia. It's been a long time, remember me?

Kevin raised one hand and laughed earlier than Sofia greeted her visit. The familiar smile hasn't changed since we met before.

Mr. Kevin, it's been a long time.

Sofia smiled lightly and sat on the opposite sofa. Carina puts tea and sweets in front of each other, slightly behind Sofia. Kevin gave a bitter smile to be alert somewhere.

"It's okay, Carina. I'm not worried about you... oh, no. I just wanted to make sure."

"─ ─ Master Kevin. I'm sure you're talking to your wife now."

Carina expresses herself with a clear expression, but says something stubborn. Sofia was pleased to see the two of them. Because I was sure Kevin was thinking about Carina. Carina's little jealousy was meaningless.

"It's okay, Carina. What can I do for you?"

Nothing to worry about doesn't mean something happened to Gilbert. Kevin squeezed his expression and put his hands on his lap.

"It's really what interests me. Tell me the day the Lieutenant left this mansion."

"Why did you... do that? You know that, don't you?

Kevin belongs to the same platoon as Gilbert. Sofia thought she wouldn't know.

"But the magic knight's mission is often not communicated to ordinary knights."

"Then I can't tell you from my mouth. I'm sorry."

Kevin sighed a little with his eyes down to Sofia. Sofia leans her neck against that depressed look, which doesn't look like a lie. As soon as Kevin realized it, he smiled and took care of the situation.

"That's right... I know"

"What do you have?

"─ ─ The Lieutenant doesn't always tell us about himself. I'm worried about the mission and everything else... I thought you'd talk to me this time, but don't say anything again."

"That's..."

The same goes for Sofia. I finally realized that you don't want to worry about me. If you work together, you may feel distanced.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to tell Miss Sofia."

"No... that's what they do at work. Kevin, I don't think Gilbert cares much about himself."

There may be information regulations for missions, but that's not all. Kevin stared silently at Sofia. Sofia carries a cute serving of sweets to her mouth, worried during the conversation. The sweetness made me feel a little relaxed and exhaled. If you drink tea immediately, it will blend with the sweet aftertaste and bring you a little happiness.

"─ ─ Miss Sofia is strong. No, it's getting stronger..."

Kevin murmured as if he didn't want anyone to hear it.

"No, I'm just strong. If you're not dressed, you'll be lonely and helpless."

I thought I smiled, but I wonder if I was doing well. Carina shows signs of twitching her body. But now Sofia didn't feel comfortable telling Kevin a lie.

Kevin resigned from the Marquis de Forster after a while. Looking back a little farther away, the building, with its heavy beauty, has a particular presence in the noble city.

After Gilbert got busy with his mission, Carina couldn't leave Sofia much longer. Kevin hadn't seen Carina for almost a week. Then Sofia was more depressed, and when she went to see how it was, it seemed to be stronger than Kevin had expected.

"Friend, is it ─ ─"

The words I said before stung my chest. For Carina, Sofia was a dear friend before she was her husband, and it would be hard to replace anything else. Kevin can't fill the hole or be like that to Gilbert. Gilbert has a lot of mysteries for Kevin, and he doesn't have anything to shoulder with.

He turned forward in a hurry to return to a feeling of emptiness that could not be filled somewhere. What we learned today is that Gilbert will be heading to the battlefield on a different date than the original Magic Knight's departure date, and that Carina will not be invited by Kevin for some time. Sofia didn't make it clear, but perhaps Gilbert is on a special mission. Just because you knew what you were expecting doesn't mean you can do anything.

"Did it mean that you went today...?

It was a precious holiday, but I didn't get anything. Kevin circles through the sky tilted by the sun as it is reflected on the edge of his vision. Let's just look at Carina's face and see if it's okay. I feel like I'm being called by a name from behind, and I can tell myself it's my fault. I wanted to talk to you in person, and you were finally attacked by hallucinations. If you miss it so much, you can confess your love and make it yours right away. Kevin's family is noble. It doesn't have much to do with Kevin the Three Sons, but I'm sure there's an inheritance that won't starve Carina. I am both aware and confident that she likes me. You won't be opposed by your family. But Kevin knew it would pull Carina and Sofia apart. And while thoughts don't become words, they still circle around the body with blood.

"─ ─ Kevin, turn around!

Apparently, what I thought was hallucinations wasn't. Something hard flew in and hit my back. Surprised by the sudden pain, she turned around and found a paper bag somewhat large that was rolling at her feet. When I picked it up aggressively, the contents looked like bread. Instead, it's rushing over and upsetting your breathing right in front of you.

"Ka, Carina!?

Carina, with her hands on her knees and her shoulders breathing, looks bright red as she leans down to chase after her. The unfamiliar maid's clothes are abstinent, and the strange gloss of a strand of hair on her neck is dissolved against her will.

"This, Sofia wants you to have it...! You heard me, turn around now."

"Oh, no, no. I'm sorry."

Carina raised her face and stared at Kevin. Only myself was visible in both eyes, and I felt comfortable that the glass in my heart would be filled quickly.

"─ ─ Well, that's fine. Sofia took care of me and asked me to have dinner with you tonight. I'll go if I don't have any plans. And tell me why you're here today!?

The wipe and distracted gaze are playful and cute. Oh, I'm sure Kevin will never be the enemy of this one. I scratched my hair with my right hand and nodded. Hold the bread thrown earlier in your right hand and reach out to your left hand to hold Carina's hand. I slowed down the pace of walking and pulled the hand. As I thought about the restaurant where I was going to eat, I once again felt strongly that Sofia carina was the most important to me.
