Gilbert was slightly relieved by Sophia sitting next to him.

After seeing a doctor, Sofia feels a little weak from her shoulders.Gilbert received a report from Hans, who spoke to the doctor after the visit.It wasn't something I could do overnight, but at least it was great for Gilbert to see how he could fight with Sofia.

Since then, Gilbert has hugged, talked, and handmade sleepy herbal tea every time Sofia is swallowed.

It would also be great to have sent all the invitations.Because it was my wife's job, I received an invitation to send all the letters without writing.

Now that Hans has put them together, Sofia should have a calm day back.

"─ ─ Sofia"

The consultation that Hans brought to Gilbert today was difficult to answer without hearing Sofia's opinion.So, I was going to ask you tonight, but when you look at this, you hesitate not to grieve.

"Master Gilbert?

Sofia, who leaned her head, encouraged Gilbert to continue.

Gilbert slipped out of his way and took the envelope that was in the corner of the table.I left it with Hans.On the edge of a white envelope with no seemingly unusual philosophy is the emblem of the Earl of Ruglan, which resembles the emblem of the Marquis of Forster.

"I just got an invitation the other day, could you look at it?"

Sofia received it with both hands.Remove the letter from the already opened envelope and look through it from the beginning.

regular greetings, attendance responses, accommodation requests, and more.

Sofia took a small breath.

"Bianca and Alberto...?

Gilbert didn't dare change his gaze when he didn't want to look at his confused eyes and wander away.I wonder if there will ever be a color of sadness in there.

"Oh, you're going to let one of them stay here.Sofia... which is better? "

"That's right...."

However, Sofia did not reveal any of Gilbert's feared feelings, but instead made a clear expression.

"─ ─ I want to see Bianca again.If Master Gilbert would forgive me, but... now I thought I might be able to talk properly. "

I see.

Gilbert replied briefly.I was surprised that there were no more words.

Sophia, who recently had nightmares, often still wakes up in the middle of the night.And yet, he wants to talk to someone who has a nightmare.Sure, meeting Bianca might change something.Still, Sofia had enough strength to choose for herself.

The dark green eyes that reflected the shaking lamp light certainly had that much strength.

"Um..."

Sofia looks at Gilbert.Gilbert hesitated to say what he thought and instead decided to share another concern.

"No, I thought Lord Alberto and Sofia would face each other."

It seems to reveal the narrowness of my mind, but I am sure I am relieved about this.

"Um...?

"Sometimes I get jealous, too."

That said, Sofia's cheeks became red on the edge.

"Gi... Gilbert!?

Gilbert snatched the letter from Sofia, who hastily panicked with a cute look.Put it on the table.And he wrapped his fingers around the empty hands of Sofia.

"There's nothing strange about it.Because I love you. "

"Ah... uhh"

Gilbert pulled his arm as Sofia fell in love with her hot palms.Gilbert's chest is slightly resting on his forehead.Release the connected hand to your right and turn it around your back.I couldn't help but solve my left hand.

Well then, may I ask you to accompany Miss Bianca?... I'm not a guest, so I don't have to force you to talk to me, but if Sofia wants to see me, I'll take some time.At that time, I want you to have me present. "

"... thank you."

The murmured voices are mixed with delight.And Gilbert, relieved, relaxed his shoulders.

Sofia is laughing small.My chest is shaking with a little breath.

Gently raising her mouth, Gilbert stroked the back of Sofia's hand with her left hand finger.

"I love you too, Gilbert."

Sofia said that with joy and joy.

Gilbert hugged Sofia in unexpected love.Now that you've raised your face, you'll look pathetic.

Gilbert slowly closed his eyes to cool his hot cheeks.
