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

"─ ─ What..."

Gilbert's head turned white. Beyond the thin cloth, the woman in the mask sitting on the sofa is certainly not very strong in her body. It must be because of the magic equipment. Sophia is definitely the one tied to the rope. On the other hand, the man who would have been Helmut seemed to be relaxed by leaning the glass next to him.

The Marquis was still talking, but there was no way he could put a gavel on the words. I was so angry that I wanted to kill you right now. Elatos hates Helmut, the Marquis, and herself enough to destroy everything. If it hadn't been for Gilbert, Sofia wouldn't have been targeted.

"Your Highness is the king of the future. It's only because of loyal subordinates like me ─ ─"

What's faithful? You don't blame stupid people, you just follow them. The Marquis, unaware of Gilbert's anomaly, is still mumbling with vain words. The more I heard that, the hotter Gilbert's right wrist bracelet felt the signs of a magical runaway. I try to endure it with reason, but as it stands, the limit is also close. A calm self in the back of your brain is ringing an alarm.

"That's great. ─ ─ I found an acquaintance, so if you'll excuse me."

Gilbert, who managed to get away from the Marquis with the proper lies, immediately looked around the venue. In front of where Sofia and Helmut would be, it's a dance space, and it's going to be difficult to get close on foot.

I need to dance with someone. There are many Second Prince Helmutists here today. That's why Gilbert thought it would be the first woman to dance. Gilbert walked in without hesitation when he found the woman he was looking for talking to several women. As they approached, the women shouted yellow. It was a rare opportunity for Gilbert to thank him for this appearance that made his actions easier.

"─ ─ Could you dance again, lady?"

"Well, it's impolite of you to interrupt a woman's conversation."

When I put out my hand, I saw a slightly moody expression. It's only natural that they interrupt a conversation with a distant woman once. Gilbert did not stand back and stared into the woman's eyes.

"Please help me."

The woman sighed as little as she gave up when she stayed with her eyes for a while.

"Very well, I think you'll find something interesting. I can only help you now.... I'm sorry, I'm a little bit like this ─ ─"

The woman lays her eyes down, puts her hands on Gilbert's hand, and stays with her body. Yellow voices rose again, and the women quickly scattered.

You're good.

"Yeah, I'm used to it."

Escort and naturally join the dance ring. It's still like a masked ball, and more people are dancing than talking. It was easy to disprove.

"─ ─ So, what do you want?

The woman smiles and looks at Gilbert in the face. For the first time, Gilbert lay down and looked at the thin cloth curtain. Having brought Sofia here today, Helmut or the Marquis may be trying to use it in some way. Is it to reveal her identity and make the occasion a pleasure, or is it to make Helmut himself think of Sofia? Neither is acceptable to Gilbert at all.

"I'm a prisoner princess. I won't get involved, so please help me get close."

"─ ─...... good"

The woman took a breath, but immediately nodded and changed the direction of the next step.

Gradually, it approaches the direction of its purpose. Soon after, Gilbert arrived just in front of the curtain. The music is just up. Gilbert put his face to the woman's ear. From the side, it would only look like a man-made rush.

"Thank you."

"I wish you success."

The woman also whispered back to Gilbert. The next moment, Gilbert took his hand off the woman and rushed over the dim curtain. It's like a luxurious private room.

"─ ─ Who are you!

The rising Helmut immediately noticed the presence of the intruder and raised his voice. Gilbert spells magic from one end into the illumination he sees while the lights don't turn on. You won't be able to see us from the party room now. Without the light, it would be dim and Gilbert would not be visible. Conversely, beyond the thin cloth curtains, the masked people dancing brilliantly were clearly visible.

Sofia is either not keeping up with the sudden change of circumstances or just staying still. The chest of the black dress was wide open and Gilbert cut the rope tied to his neck with a dagger taken out of his chest with frustration.

"Your Highness, what is it!?

A few guard-like knights came in, opening the door beside them. Look at Gilbert with the dagger and pull out the sword. Gilbert did not mind, touching Sofia's arm while sitting on the sofa and removing the magic bracelet that regulated the effect of the collar. It is troublesome to manipulate. The collar is troublesome, but if it's manipulated with bracelets, it's better not to move.

"Who are you? Behavior against His Highness, treason against the nation!

The knight of the guard opens his mouth. I don't suppose Gilbert thinks he's from Ioria, much less dew. However, it is not necessary to reveal the identity to the opponent who is about to be slashed.

"Excuse me."

Hang the curtain with your right hand. By force, the top clasp fell off, the delicate cloth was cut into pieces, and the next moment Gilbert and Sofia were covered in a single cloth.

"Sofia, I'm sorry."

Gilbert dropped a short apology and took care of Sofia, who was barely able to move.

The venue has suddenly become noisy on our side. Gilbert slipped through the confused and jumped out of the window.
