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

Sofia was coming to the kitchen with Carina. Former Baron Lannish has encouraged the cultivation of Carnac beans as a new hit, and researchers have been informed that they have arrived safely. Sophia, who had time to spare, tried to fill the hole and practice cooking. When Gilbert returns, I want to give him a delicious treat. I've been asking the chef to take time every other day since about two weeks after Gilbert left for duty.

─ ─ I wonder if the chef isn't here today.

Sofia leaned her neck. Always stay ahead and wait for Sofia and the others to come. Carina is wondering too.

"But I didn't say anything last time. Can I ask you something?

Sofia laughed as soon as she stopped Carina from leaving the kitchen.

"Wait a minute, if you don't come, let's go and see how it goes. Maybe it's just a long supply."

The chef leaves it to the supplier to some extent, but the main ingredients of the dish often go directly to the market. The chef is responsible for all the dishes in the mansion. I took it for granted that I couldn't do anything but ask Sofia.

"Well, if Sofia says so."

"You didn't have to hurry. I wrote back to you yesterday with a letter from Emilia-sama... and you can wait a little longer."

Carina nodded with her shoulders down.

Well, let's at least move to the prep room. They're small, but they have chairs and tables, so I can make tea. "

"Ah, I'm glad!

Sofia and Carina moved quickly to the prep room. Carina brews tea for two and places one in front of Sofia.

With you two, any space will be a fun tea party. In keeping with Gilbert's instructions, Carina told me a lot about what she had heard the other day for Sofia, who had been away for three weeks.

"Oh, ma'am. Aren't the chefs with you?

It was a young cook working in the kitchen who called out to me. Sofia returned with a light smile.

"The chef was supposed to teach me how to make sweets... but it's too late."

Sofia leans her neck. I totally forgot the time, but I think I've been waiting half an hour. The man also peered into the kitchen in Sofia's words.

"It's strange, I was supposed to be back today. I was told by the chef to help my wife and came in a hurry...."

After hearing the man's words, Sofia and Carina looked at each other. If the man was asking the chef to help, he'd be late for some reason, and he'd be here any minute.

The instruments used are always the same. Guided by a man who wants to prepare a little bit, Sofia and the others move to the kitchen. If you do nothing, it will be time to prepare dinner in no time. Assemble the bowl and bowl and place it from the end.

"─ ─ It's too late for today's delivery!

It was right after that that I was called out. A man rolls a large box on a trolley and peeks at his face from the kitchen's tricks.

"Oh, well done. Thank you always."

The man rounded his eyes in surprise at Sofia's appearance. A cook man rushes in with a bit of a rush.

"Chef, have you seen this? Looks like I'm late."

"Oh, I just saw it in the market. It looks like you're rubbing something, so it's gonna take a while.

"I knew it...."

The cook man sighed as he received the box and brought it into the kitchen. Then I noticed Sofia, who was being paranoid, and explained.

"Chef, I am particularly annoyed with cooking, so I sometimes rub it at the supplier. No, we have a good relationship with everyone in the city, so don't worry about your wife."

"Really? I'm glad."

Carina is helping to open the box. Sophia, relieved to know where the chef was, relieved her shoulders.

"─ ─ Yes, ma'am. Would you like to try this grape?

As Sofia raised her face, a man came into the kitchen by his own means and raised a fine grape.

"Grapes?"

"Yes, it's almost the end of the vine season this year, but I've got something particularly good. I brought one today."

Sophia took it unintentionally without asking for it. The grapes, filled with deep blue-purple fruit, certainly seem delicious as a whole. Seriously looking at it, the man repeats his words.

"It belongs to a vineyard on the edge of the Marquis de Forster. Until now, only the varieties used to be processed into wine have been made, but the number of new workers has increased, and so has the number of edible varieties."

In the vineyards at the edge of the territory, it will also be limited to places where people have recently increased. What came to mind in Sofia was a farm with Bianca and Alberto. I'm not sure, but I'm sure it is. Sofia gladly looked back at Carina.

"Carina, is this Bianca's place?

Carina smiles bitterly at Sofia's expression. A woman who was bullying herself and a man who had abandoned her engagement. Carina didn't know why she could be affectionate. But I am proud of Sofia as a friend and master who can have a gentle feeling.

"Perhaps, ma'am. Can I have it later?"

"If that's the case, it's a corner, so please eat it now. I'll wash it right away."

The cook man quickly washed the grapes, put them on a plate and put them on the counter. Sophia, who was resistant to eating immediately after receiving it, lost her sight of what to do. The man who brought the grapes broke his calf and expression.

"Thank you very much. Let us know how you feel about the flavour."

"Really? Thank you, I'll take it. Let's eat carina together."

Sofia took the grape in her hand and gave it to Carina.

"Thank you very much. It looks delicious."

After seeing Carina eat, Sofia also takes a grain from her room and gently puts it on her lips. With a pleasant and refreshing feel, the sweetness spreads to the palate.

It's sweet and delicious.

"Really, ma'am, I'm glad."

Yeah ─ ─

The moment Sofia reached out to the grapes again to try another grain, her vision swayed. Without thinking about anything, my feet relax and I can't stand there.

"Sofia!?

Carina, whose face turned pale, took a step towards Sofia. But it collapses without balance.

"Carrie.... na"

Sofia reached out worried, but couldn't reach Carina's body. The chill of the kitchen floor feels like a fallen body, alarming Sofia's brain. The last thing Sophia saw in his gradual sight was the twisted smile of the two men.
