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

Sophia then finished the dinner in the form of a welcome and changed into her evening clothes with the help of Elatos's maid. After all, it seems that women's clothes in this country are slightly more exposed than those in Aiolia. I know it's because of the climate, but nightwear is remarkable. The thin fabric is layered to hide the skin, but the lines of the body can be seen through.

Sofia headed towards Gilbert, who was waiting in her bedroom.

"Dear Gilbert, thank you for waiting."

As soon as he turned to Sofia, Gilbert slipped away. It was a natural move, but I still feel uncomfortable. It must be because of the clothes.

"Um, I'm embarrassed, but it seems that this is our nightwear... please don't look too much."

Sofia dyed her cheeks out of shame. I'm married now, but I still can't stop falling in love. Gilbert sighed slightly and slapped Sofia next to the bedding she was sitting on, prompting her to sit next to her. Sofia then lowered her hips next to her and laid her hands on Gilbert's bedside.

"─ ─ I was worried. Thank you for today."

Gilbert started talking quietly.

"From my point of view, I am often entrusted with infiltration. Especially in these types of battles, it is no exaggeration to say that information decides whether to win or lose. This ability of mine is convenient."

Gilbert stared at Sofia with his unconnected palms wide open.

"Sometimes I can't talk to Sofia. Not to mention the mission, which is highly confidential. I can't tell him exactly where he is."

"Dear Gilbert...."

"I can't stand by when Sofia really needs help."

Sofia tried to see Gilbert's eyes, but they were never diverted from her palm. You won't understand all Gilbert's anxiety and regrets.

"─ ─ It's okay."

Sofia held Gilbert's hand tightly.

"It was okay. I'm here. I'm here because Miss Gilbert helped me. So, Master Gilbert...."

Gilbert has nothing to regret. Because Sofia is safe here without losing her life or getting her body dirty. Gilbert turned to Sofia, wondering how she felt. Her exploring eyes stared at Sofia.

"But you were scared."

"I'm not scared right now."

Gilbert lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes. An open mouth trying to say something can be closed without spinning words. That unreliable expression was the first I saw of Sofia. When I think I'm making you look like this, my heart tightens. What should I do? How can we reassure Gilbert?

Sofia pulled Gilbert's hand after a moment of hesitation. Place your opposite hand on your head and lean towards your chest to hug your head. When I wrapped it gently, it felt as if the warm body temperature had come together.

"Sofia?"

I heard Gilbert's impatient voice in my arm. Close enough to make my heart beat. Can you hear this sound?

"Dear Gilbert, can you hear me? I'm alive. We are within Gilbert's immediate reach. That's why I'm fine. I wasn't okay... but I knew Miss Gilbert would come and help me. I'm sorry for being so sweet. Um, I haven't done anything...."

I don't forgive anyone but Gilbert. It was painful, but Sofia thought it was enough. Gilbert moved in Sofia's arm. Your arms are turned around your back. The height was the opposite to usual. Gilbert's fur is visible in the overlooking area.

"I know that. If Sofia's heart were mine, I wouldn't let you go. Even if you leave, you just have to get it back."

The face facing upwards and the eyes met. The blue eyes are pointed straight at Sofia.

"Never let go. I will always be on Gilbert's side."

I can't move as if my eyes were caught. There was certainly a fever there.

"Sofia."

Sofia stares into Gilbert's eyes as she lays down on her bedside. Gilbert's lips touched Sofia's lips. If you think you're away, you can change the angle and mouth again. I found that my body temperature gradually increased. It's going to get washed away like this.

"I can't... I can't!"

Sofia pushed Gilbert's chest. Gilbert stops moving in desperately spinning words with rough breathing. Without changing his posture, he stroked Sofia's head so that his hands could gently handle the broken object.

"Was it still scary? I'm sorry, I thought Sofia was here and wanted to feel more at home."

Sofia's face burns too frankly.

"No, it's not. I thought it would be better not to do that with Miss Gilbert for a while."

What does the social world think of the Marquis abducted by an exotic country? Nothing has been done, but if you have a child in a short time, you don't know what to say to something you don't say. Sofia was afraid to learn about the aristocratic society from Hans' tutor. Gilbert talks to Sofia without stopping stroking her hand.

I see. There is nothing to worry about because the information has been stopped at a minimum, but it may happen just in case. I know the facts, but isn't everyone? "

Gilbert relaxed his arm. He lay down on his back beside Sofia. Deep breaths are exhaled.

"I'm sorry...."

"No, of course not.... I thought you were scared of me too."

"That's not true... I was just happy to be touched by Mr. Gilbert."

Sofia panicked. I don't want to be misunderstood. When Gilbert touches you, the unpleasant feeling left on your wrists and body disappears and feels good. That's enough to throw away your reason and make you want to ask for more.

Gilbert turned his face towards us and raised his mouth slightly. It's a glorious smile that I haven't seen in a long time, and Sofia inadvertently grips the sheets.

I see. Are you happy? "

It's a different tone than before, a pleasant tone.

"Eh, ah... yes"

"You don't have to have kids, do you? No problem. I also wanted to feel Sofia closer."

Gilbert pulled Sofia's body and resumed the mouthpiece he had been stopping. The fever grew without escape, melting Sofia's wounded heart and Gilbert's stubborn heart. Someday the blackened lights covered the two in the darkness spreading into the room.
