Gilbert's communication magic equipment is different from Mathias's and does not have the ability to acknowledge receipt. That's because it takes into account that we're undercover. Gilbert also tried to check it in small amounts, but I noticed it too late this time. The contact arrived late at night and I checked it the next morning.

Gilbert had to endure the news from Mathias that he was about to hit a magical instrument on his desk. It said something about Sofia being taken away by someone and the situation. It was also written that it was likely that the grapes used were farm grapes.

"Sofia."

Gilbert touched the earring on his left ear. The last time it reacted was after noon yesterday. Located in the Marquis of Forster. The fact that there has been no reaction since then means that they were taken away immediately after the report.

Speaking of assignments, I regret not being on my side. Since then, there has been no reaction from Sofia's magic equipment. Are you in a situation where there are no magic tools around you? Gilbert was dazzled by an unpleasant feeling going over his head. At the back of my head, something is blinking. You realize that your eyes are getting hot and emotional.

I wanted to go to the rescue at least as soon as I knew where he was. However, during his mission, Gilbert was never free to leave Eratos. I squeezed my fist at the inconvenience. The bracelet that stays on your wrist gets hot. With Gilbert's emotional aunt, magic is about to run wild. I can push myself in with reason, thinking that it doesn't matter. The best clue to Sophia's whereabouts is a ring of indigo crystals that I was told she was wearing. If Sofia uses magic tools, Gilbert will know where she is. If you let the magic run wild now, the magic equipment you wear will also be destroyed. That was all I had to avoid.

"Sofia, if you're okay, let me know where you are...."

The voice squeezed out to beg in the room alone disappears into silence. He took a deep breath and drove his own heartbeat, which echoed in his ear, far away. The time was approaching for me to go to work as a mailman.

If Sofia had just been abducted, it would definitely have something to do with Elatos. Gilbert was convinced that there was no foolish man who would invade the Marquis mansion independently of the war. All entrances are equipped with recording devices, and those who pass are recorded in video. Naturally, it was also necessary to write the reason for the visit in front of the guards. Anyone in Ioria would not bother to commit a crime in such a house.

─ ─ Shall we explore?

Who gave the instructions and where is Sofia? All the clues must be here, Elatos. I'm sure it's in the castle. Gilbert left the room dressed quickly.

I am accustomed to controlling emotions. I'm sure you're used to it. Through the main gate of the royal castle, head to your place of work. It is a letter to the royal castle that is filled with bags. I will distribute it to each department, but today I checked the contents carefully. The ability to check without opening is particularly useful now.

"Oh, Jill. Thank you very much."

Camille found Gilbert again today and waved.

Good work, Mr. Camille.

Gilbert smiled back. But Camille leaned his neck small.

"Jill, what's going on? Something wrong?"

"Why?

"No, I don't think so. If you're worried, I'll talk to you."

Gilbert was in a complicated mood for Camille, who slapped her cheerfully on the shoulder. Gilbert's smile today still feels uncomfortable.

"It's nothing. It's a lot today, so if you'll excuse me."

Gilbert showed his bag and said hello and left. Camille's emotions were read from the skin she touched when she was hit on the shoulder. I'm relieved to learn that you honestly mistook Gilbert for me. At the same time, I found out that Camille didn't know anything. I don't have much time now. I went to the next place and checked the letters one by one.

"This is...."

We arrived at it when there were only a few letters left. It is smaller than the envelope in which the documents are placed. It is addressed to the Second Prince, Helmut, and contains only a short sentence.

─ ─ Protecting the cat. It was confirmed.

Gilbert was convinced by the sentence, which he dared not speak much about. It's definitely about Sofia, and Helmut is involved. Maybe it was Helmut who gave the instruction. As far as protection is concerned, there seems to be no problem believing that Sofia is safe at this time. Does it mean that Sofia is in Elatos?

I'd like to see His Highness.

Gilbert murmured in an empty hallway to the extent that no one could hear him. Somewhere in the First Prince's concert, Lutz, the Knights he met at the tavern, must know. Gilbert leaves a letter addressed to Helmut in the room where his close associates work. I wonder if we can meet Lutz by going to the Knights' quarters. Gilbert thought so and headed for the edge of the castle grounds.
