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

The next morning, Gilbert, who visited the tower north of the royal castle in the early morning, was still disappointed by what could be described as a change. There were no people around the tower at all, and when I entered it just in case, it was already a barren shell. From the basement to the top floor, no one has a rough room.

However, it does not erase even the traces of people entering and leaving. I checked, but there was no dust in the cell where the concert was placed in the basement. I guess I couldn't afford to disguise myself like that. Similarly, a room with no dust unnaturally was on the upper floor of the tower. Chains and keys fall unnaturally on the side of the entrance to the room.

─ ─ Were you here?

The room was furnished to the edge, and no carpet was laid. But if you look closely, the carpet is folded and stacked with the right cloth, and all the furniture is practical.

Gilbert quietly closed his eyes in the room, where there was nothing left of Sofia. I was so close, I couldn't help but notice. Sofia wouldn't even know Gilbert was in Elatos. I don't even know where this place was. What did you think in a room without a window? No matter how much Gilbert thinks, there is no answer, and he doesn't know where he's been taken. The only thing I know is that Helmut is involved in the disappearance.

"Let's go....."

Gilbert sighed small and left the northern tower. It was time for more people. Gilbert left the tower on guard and headed to the mailman's office today. There was a move, so there might be some kind of letter to report. I also wanted to check the surroundings of Helmut again.

"Good morning, what's for today?

Gilbert opens the door with a smile that looks innocent. The boss, the man, showed one of the boxes he had already divided.

"This is it. Greetings, Jill."

"Wow, that's a lot today, isn't it?

"That's true. When I see the sender, I think it's probably because of the prince's confusion... well, good luck."

"Are you embarrassed? Thank you all for your hard work."

Does seeing the sender mean the aristocracy of a particular faction? Gilbert decided to check later and nodded honestly on the occasion. Sort the contents of the boxes, bundle them lightly into each and refill them into bags.

"I'm coming..."

"Don't get so depressed because it's a lot. Welcome."

The man waved his hand and sent Gilbert out. Gilbert enters an unused storage facility in the castle building first. Once in the office, I laid a bundle of letters on the floor in a mess. In this way, I can explain that I was organizing the letters even if they were found.

Gilbert went over the contents of the letters one by one. I want to know how to contact the Second Prince Helmut or where Sofia is. I checked to make sure it didn't take as long as possible, and I finally found a clue that Helmut had planned.

"─ ─ A masked ball at a noble mansion?"

Sure enough, a masked ball would be great for nostalgia. Even if you realize who you are, you can enjoy socializing in a place where you can't talk about it. This time, it was hosted by the Second Prince Marquis. There is no wonder Helmut is involved.

The masked ball is held next weekend. Conveniently, Gilbert had the invitation. Do you have a chance to touch Helmut directly? That should make it easier to get a lead on Sofia's whereabouts.

Gilbert checked the rest of the letters as they were and then re-bundled them. The day may be near when a concert hidden in an apartment will show up. Gilbert hurried out of the storeroom, feeling close to certain.

When Sofia awoke from her anxious sleep, the first surprise was that she was in a different place than the one she slept in.

"Nh... it hurts."

Keep an eye on your painful head, forcing your body to get out of bed as hard as ever. Slowly scratching off the canopy, it was not the same room as the stone walls that had been peeling out before, and it was not as gorgeous as the room. Not even fine luxury like the Marquis of Forster. The vibrancy of collecting expensive items. The lighting is bright and the fireplace is decorated with gold. On the walls are paintings of women dressed in flashy clothes, with fine sculptures placed on desks, bookshelves, and silver jars on tables.

"─ ─ I wonder where I am."

I wonder where they brought me this time. The outside of the window was bright, but Sofia didn't know how many days had passed since she was kidnapped or how much she slept. There is a metal lattice on the outside of the window, and Sofia won't be able to remove it. Still, I desperately approached the window knowing where it was, but all I could see was the vast gardens and trees planted to keep out of sight.

"Oh, no."

They brought me back to a place I don't know where. It makes no sense to tell Gilbert where he is. Sofia looked around to find a magical instrument that could be used again.
