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

"─ ─ Sorry."

Gilbert's voice was as flat as forcing emotions to kill.Sofia is confused because it is not tied to the strength of her arms.

"Master Gilbert won't say that... I will."

"Sofia is not bad."

Gilbert put his forehead on Sofia's shoulder.I feel the temperature more strongly than usual because of the thin nightwear.Sofia was concerned that Gilbert's body, which should have been warm because she had been on the bed earlier, was getting cold.

"Then... so is Mr Gilbert."

Sofia didn't know what Gilbert was going to apologize for.Whether you know it or not, Gilbert keeps saying.

"No, I should have known.Since you have the 'right to protect' Sofia, you should be mindful of your physical safety as well.... if you have a shallow sleep, you won't have to do anything during the day, just rest slowly.There are servants in the mansion, and so is your job. "

"Dear Gilbert...!

Sofia pushed her arms into Gilbert's chest and removed them from the arms she was trying to protect herself from.

Then, you can desperately endure tears that are about to become zero when you relax.Then it's no good.Then there's no place for Sofia to feel this way.

"Please stop. I... I..."

The words that popped out with momentum were meaningless and lost in the words that continued.Thoughts swirled in my head and I didn't know what to say.

"Sofia?"

Gilbert looks suspicious.

Sofia took a slow, deep breath to calm her emotions.Then slowly open your mouth.

"─ ─... I don't just want to be protected, I want to stand next to Miss Gilbert...So please don't say that.... "

It was the unseen truth, the confidence Sophia got from Gilbert.

Sofia has wished many times.I want to be who I am next to Gilbert.

I know this is how Gilbert protects us.Gilbert has protected me over and over again.

Even with Gilbert's offer to protect Sofia, she didn't want to give up the valuable work that Sofia herself could do for Gilbert's future.Even if they are servants.

I wanted the Marquis de Forster to belong to Sofia.

"But"

Gilbert, who had wrinkles between his eyebrows, seemed to be in a bad mood.However, even though it was still a short time ago, the look on her face revealed that Gilbert was simply worried about Sofia.

All Sofia can do is reassure Gilbert.

"Please.... it's okay.I'll be stronger.Because I'm Gilbert's wife... "

Gilbert gazed at the strong, politely crafted smile.

Could it be because of Sofia's expectations that the indigo color in her eyes seems to have the same pleasure as confusion?

I stared at the blue eyes slightly above me.Gilbert sighed a little later as if he had given up.And he smiles bitterly without hiding his feeling of helplessness.

Gilbert's hand slightly rested on Sofia's head.

"Thank you, Sofia. I'm sorry about that.─ ─ But just in case, I want you to see a doctor. "

"Yes, thank you, Master Gilbert."

Sofia was delighted to be recognized, and now she can make a real smile.

"It must be due to the psychological stress of the past.You may experience symptoms not immediately, but after you calm down a little. "

The doctor Gilbert arranged for was a middle-aged woman whom he had met once in a while.After Sophia was picked up by Gilbert in the woods, she had her wound examined.Even though it wasn't a long time ago, it seems like it was a long time ago.

Right now, Gilbert is at work, and there's only Sofia and the doctor in the room.That's why, even when you're nervous, your mouth naturally lightens.

"Is that what this is about... me?"

Sophia leaked when she cut off the words that were about to leak.

"You can say anything, miss.... ah, you're already my wife. "

Without changing the soft atmosphere, the doctor further raised the angle of mouth, which was facing upwards from the beginning.

"That's all that's not gonna happen to me...."

Really?As far as the Marquis is concerned, I'm sure your wife will do her best. "

Really?

"Yes, because your wife's job is to love and be loved first and foremost.This is certainly not the case with political tactics... but the Marquis has recently seen an increase in returns early.... I guess you owe it to your wife. "

According to the doctor, Sofia accidentally dyed her cheeks red.
