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

The reception is almost over. I'm looking forward to it. "

Sofia blinked at Christina's words as she tilted the teacup.

"Looking forward to it?

"That's right. We haven't shown our family yet, so we'll do the same. I want everyone to be proud of me because I got such a lovely wife."

Christina smiles like she deserves it.

Sofia turned to the teacup in front of her. It touches the handle with its fingertips, reflecting Sofia's anxiety and shaking slightly the clear red liquid.

The wedding at the church in the Territory was attended only by a few particularly close relatives of the Marquis of Forster and Carina, who attended as a friend of Sofia.

Instead of being a clan, the Marquises of Forster have more connections than they ever had. As a historic Forster Marquis, it was obvious, but it was difficult for Sofia to realize that she had never been in the social world since her wedding.

The wedding was off-season, so I haven't had a reception to show off to the nobles yet. After all, it will only be commensurate with the size of the Forster Marquis.

"─ ─ Yes, I'll do my best."

Sofia lowered her eyebrows in trouble, knowing she had no choice.

Sophia's parents are dead, his uncle has become a criminal, and now that his cousin Bianca is making wine in the Marquis countryside, Sophia has no relatives who would otherwise be absolute allies. When I lived peacefully in the mansion, I didn't care, but when I saw the scene in front of me, I was really concerned.

Does it have to do with the bad dreams these days? The neighborhood is hidden by Carina, but she can't hide her weak heart.

Christina reached out to the bakery and took it to her mouth to change the mood. The baked goods that disappeared with a soft noise seemed to be sweet enough. Gilbert's real mother, Christina, broke her beautiful, ageless face like a girl.

"You don't have to worry so much. It's not like there's no one to bother with, but basically, the subdivision can't go against the main house."

That's right.

To Christina, who says harsh things with a smile and a harmless smile, Sofia returns with a cramped smile.

Months have passed since the war between Aeolia and Elatos ended. The border defense walls have been repaired with the cooperation of both countries, and the barren lands of Burgan Border Territories have been rebuilt at an early pace thanks to the efforts of dispatched magical knights and their citizens. Gilbert stayed in King's Landing for the Knights of the Guards 2nd Platoon mission, but he seemed to be helping you to the best of his ability.

The seasons are around, and now it's summer. As many nobles returned to their respective territories and enjoyed their holidays, Sofia and the others continued to spend their days in the townhouses of the King's City.

Mathias, the Crown Prince, is always in King's Landing. Gilbert, one of his closest associates, could not have easily taken a long vacation.

"The reception was the beginning of the next season, wasn't it? I'll do my best...."

In autumn, the social season begins again. For Sofia, who debuted in the social world in the New Year, this is the first season she has experienced throughout the social season. I'm still nervous about naming Gilbert's wife.

"Well... before the royal night club, the Folsters gather here for an annual meeting. Meanwhile, we'll have a lunch party. The owners of each house attend the meeting, but the luncheon is supposed to be everyone's party, and the women are supposed to have tea parties. We can help, but the modern master and wife are in charge. Did Hans tell you that?

The historic Marquises of Forster have many divisions, and I hear they each have different titles and have different names. As a faction, there is no big difference, but each of them has its own inner affair. In other words, it's not just the good guys or the bad guys.

"Yes, Hans told me. Mr Gilbert seems to be making arrangements for us. I'm also here to help you prepare your invitation....."

Sofia talked so much that she shut her mouth.

An invitation to a meeting of the Folsters and a wedding reception. All Sofia could do now was write them. That stirs up extra anxiety in Sofia. I wonder if this is okay.

"Oh, that's enough. Preparation for the venue will be much later. ─ ─ Ah, but it's time to go with the costume. Can I see it with you?

The costume was commissioned by a popular workshop in King's Landing to bring designers and craftsmen to the mansion. I feel a lot afraid of it, but as one of the noble ladies, it was also fun.

"Of course! If your mother-in-law were with you, I'd be happy."

Christina really treats Sofia well. I can see that Elvin also embraces Sofia from the bottom of his heart. For Sofia, who had no backing, it was really comfortable.

"Ugh, Sofia is so cute. Be as cute as you can and surprise Gilbert."

"Thank you."

Sofia relieved herself with tea.

Will Gilbert be late today? At the beginning of this month, Gilbert got busier. Apparently, he's taking the job for his employees on vacation. While proud of its kindness as Gilbert, it is also complicated to wait for your return.

Especially now, when a small anxiety is sprouting in front of the event. Sofia realized it and swallowed the sweetness that came to her mind.

I couldn't help but notice that Christina was looking at Sofia carefreely.
