"I'm really sorry."

Gilbert lowered his head towards Sofia. Some time after that war, the Marquises of Forster are returning to their peaceful routine.

"No... don't worry about it. I thought it was a shame....."

Sofia shook her neck left and right in a hurry.

Gilbert apologizes to Sofia because he can't date tomorrow. Gilbert is going to attend your meeting for post-war processing. As deputy commander of the 2nd Platoon, I shouldn't have had to attend, but this time I was suddenly summoned by the Magic Knight's mission to infiltrate Elatos alone.

The original plan was for Sofia and Gilbert to ride to the suburb lake.

Sofia has hardly ever ridden a horse before. However, Gilbert's journey to the former Lannish realm with his horse was refreshing, unprecedented and enjoyable. When she said she wanted to ride a horse, Gilbert was happy, but Sophia regrets a bit that it would not have been good for her to make a promise at this busy time.

"I'm sorry. Be sure to take the next vacation."

"Don't push yourself. Master Gilbert, you must be busy... and I know it's important."

Sofia smiled modestly. Gilbert sighed small and shook his neck left and right.

"─ ─ No. For me, my promise to Sofia was just as important. Unless you give the order."

"Please don't compare..."

The comparison is with His Majesty's Council. You shouldn't be dating Sofia.

"That's how important it is."

Gilbert says with a serious face. It felt like the temperature of Gilbert's hand, which was still tied up on his leg sitting next to him, had risen slightly.

"Ah, thank you. Okay, next time."

Sofia slightly lowered her eyes and fled Gilbert's gaze. I'm happy that you take care of me, and at the same time I'm embarrassed.

"But I'm sorry about that. Is there anything you want me to do?

Faced up at the words, soft blue eyes looked at Sofia's expression.

"What do you want me to do...?

"Yeah, whatever you want."

Sofia leaned her neck small. I can't think of anything I want you to do or want you to do right away. Both Gilbert and the Mansion are always kind and friendly, and life here is very happy. I'm surrounded by so many things that I can't compare to when I was at the Baron's. There's no way Sofia can hope for anything more.

"Um... well..."

"Don't hesitate. Tell me the truth."

Oh, no. Nothing really happened. Gilbert is staring into Sofia's eyes, waiting for her reply.

Sofia looked back at Gilbert's eyes. What a clear blue. The gentle colors show that you care about Sofia with all your heart. Sofia can't read Gilbert's mind, but I'm sure she's right.

"Are you sure you want anything?

Gilbert nodded at Sofia's words. Sofia grasped the connected hand to the prank that came to her from the reply.

─ ─ Now, please keep your eyes closed for a while.

"Is that what you want me to do?

Yes, that's right.

Gilbert follows Sofia's wishes strangely.

Even though I work to keep an eye on the surroundings, such as knights, in front of Sofia, it exposes me to such defenselessness if I want to. That seemed to be proof of trust, and Sofia's chest became hot.

Gilbert remained silent with his eyes closed. You doubt Sofia's wishes.

"─ ─......"

Sofia raised her hips slightly and placed her hand on Gilbert's shoulder in an unstable position. Sofia whispers to Gilbert, who reacts with a twitch.

"Keep your eyes closed."

Gilbert's face, which I saw right away, was pounding and heartbeat. This will be a shame. Could it be impossible because it is a couple? But for Sofia, there's courage anyway.

Gently close the lid of your eyes and lay your lips over it. Unspoken happiness dominated my breast in the sweetness I gently touched.

Gilbert opened his eyes and was surprised right in front of him as he opened his eyes with his lips open for an instant. Sophia's face gets hot when the dust and eyes meet.

"It's closed...!

Gilbert's powerful arm caught Sofia in a hurry. You can be held by your hard body as you wish. Sofia, who had no escape, bit her lips and buried Gilbert's face on her chest. I'm sorry. And embarrassed. Still very happy.

"─ ─ Does my wife do such a cute thing and keep quiet about my husband?

Sofia silenced Gilbert, asking in a pale tone. Indeed, it was Sofia who set it up first.

"I'm sorry ─ ─"

You don't have to apologize.

Gilbert strengthens his arms to hold Sofia. A voice that doesn't sound like breathing leaks. Gilbert snorted and laughed.

"You're cute."

"─ ─......"

"Well, I'm just glad."

You're talking about the word from Sofia. Gilbert would have been brave if he had been pleased. Sofia raised her face and looked up at Gilbert.

"Always, I'm just... happy to hear from Mr. Gilbert."

Gilbert taught Sofia how happy it is to be mouthed. The wish was the trigger, but I wanted Gilbert to feel the same joy.

Gilbert opened his eyes to surprise and then smiled. With such an innocent smile, Sofia stumbled upon it.

Are you happy?

"Ha... yes"

I see.

Gilbert recaptured Sofia's body and stood up. Sofia opens her eyes to a sudden floating sensation.

"Um..."

Gilbert dropped his mouth on confused Sofia's cheeks.

"─ ─ Let's talk slowly in the bedroom"

"Ah...."

When I opened the door to the back, it was already warmed by the fire in the fireplace. The gentle shaking of the magic equipment softly illuminates the illuminated bedroom.

The world between the two of us is a sweet secret. Sofia gently closed her eyes, feeling the warmth near her dyed cheeks.
