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

Sofia was able to enjoy tea with Gilbert about two hours later.

It was in the greenhouse that Sofia prepared the tea. The greenhouse had a table set originally used by Gilbert's mother, the previous Marquise. With some old-fashioned design, Carina now matches Sofia with clothes and flowers to make it beautiful.

"Did you rush it?

"No, I wanted to spend time with Sofia."

Sofia's cuffs have the magic ornament button she just gave me as a cuff button. At first I felt horrible, but it would be cute if it became an ornament. Sofia carried the tea to her mouth and loosened her mouth to the sparkling button on her wrist.

"Thank you very much. Um, this... I tried it on quickly."

"Oh, it suits me. Normally, there seems to be no problem."

"Yes"

Gilbert nods lightly. Are you relieved? Sofia exhaled relieved. Gilbert stroked the edge of the teacup with his fingertips. My gaze is wandering on the table.

"Sofia... Don't you regret marrying me?"

Sofia took a breath at the sudden question. Looking straight at Gilbert in the front, Gilbert also looked at Sofia. If you are not confident, your gaze seems to explore your heart, and at the same time, you seem to trust somewhere.

Sofia thought she'd heard something similar before. I'm sure Gilbert is worried. Sofia opens her chest and speaks with a bright voice.

"─ ─ There is no regret. It's tough, scary, and painful, but next to Miss Gilbert is where I belong. It doesn't change."

"Sofia"

"Besides, the happiness of having such a lovely time is with Miss Gilbert."

The greenhouse at the beginning of summer was filled with sweet floral scents. Outside, the vibrant overlapping colors of the endless rose flowers entertain your eyes. If you look closely, there are many shapes, such as petals that are refreshing and flattering like the hem of a dress. I can see that the gardener takes good care of me.

"I'm so happy that everyone thinks I'm here. I didn't expect this day to come...."

The servants of the Marquis who welcomed Sophia back, Emilia who took care to invite her to tea, Matthias who did everything for Sophia. And more than anyone, Gilbert desperately rescued Sofia. Many others were worried about Sofia.

Sofia is here because everyone was there. You can laugh at happiness while being saved many times.

"That's why nothing bothers Miss Gilbert."

As she smiled, Gilbert took Sofia's hand on the tea table.

"Thank you ─ ─ I can't let you go. So don't run away. Stay with me."

Behind those blue eyes is a fever that burns Sofia's heart. Sofia was in my eyes. Gain confidence in your undisturbed appearance.

"Of course."

Sofia takes Gilbert's hand back. A warm and gentle body temperature was transmitted through the palm.

"So, um... Mr. Gilbert?"

"What's wrong?

"Are you sure Gilbert is here for the tea party tomorrow or later?

There is a tea party invited by Emilia the day after tomorrow. They say it's just a private tea party between Sofia and Emilia. Gilbert was supposed to be at work, but he said he'd show his face.

"Oh, I don't think that's going to work forever. The day is scheduled to be your escort day. His Highness says he'll show his face at Her Royal Highness's tea party, so I should be able to go with him."

Sofia exhaled relieved at Gilbert's words.

Is that what this is all about?

I was worried that Gilbert would be okay with a job, but I was worried.

As a matter of fact, Gilbert is not going to talk to Sofia about replacing his escort for the day.

"That's why I'm fine. Never mind, I hope you're looking forward to it."

Sofia nodded at Gilbert's words.

Yes, thank you very much.

After answering Emilia's invitation, Carina chooses her dress with great joy. I didn't think it would be too glamorous because it was a daytime invitation, but Carina was looking forward to knowingly dressing it up in Sofia. It's an elegant product with little exposure, so it's trying to suit me.

When this happens, Sofia will be looking forward to it. I returned from Elatos and stayed in this mansion all the time. It's been a long time since I went out, and it's fashionable to go out, and my mind comes to mind.

Of course, I was nervous when I thought it was an invitation from Emilia, the princess of the king.

─ ─ Sofia is so cute.

Gilbert loosened her cheeks. Suddenly, Sofia blushed her face and chewed that she was happy now.
