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

The family of Counts Ruglan arrived about an hour later.

"Marquis, I'll take care of you for a while."

Count Beatrice, the Count of Le Grand, had purple eyes on silver hair mixed with gray hair.is wearing the same deep purple dress as her eyes.Traditional dresses weren't in fashion, but they suited Beatrice well.The outfit has a calm and elegant impression, but the sunburned skin and refreshing way of speaking are not very aristocratic.

"Grandma, how are you?"

Gilbert called Beatrice back with a friendly greeting from the Marquis of Forster, Gilbert.

Sofia recalled that Gilbert had previously described Beatrice as a changer.When you look at the conversation, you can see that Gilbert's word "weirdo" is the result of a reckless relationship.

I'd like to introduce you to my wife, Sofia.

By Gilbert's introduction, Sofia stepped forward.Strangely, I was less nervous than before.I wonder if it's because of the rough atmosphere Beatrice has.

Grab the hem of the dress and gently lower your hips.

"My name is Sofia. Thank you very much."

Beatrice showed a friendly face to Sofia, who smiled.

"That you're a pretty girl. Marquis, congratulations on your marriage.I'll take care of you for a while. "

"Yes, please relax."

Gilbert sat down and tried to get a waiting servant to show Beatrice around.But Beatrice doesn't move.Instead, he raised a distorted smile with one corner of his mouth raised and shouted loudly towards the door that remained open.

"... you're not hiding, say hello!"

I feel quite reluctant to hear that voice indoors.Apparently Beatrice is a very energetic person, contrary to her age.

Sofia was surprised, and her long hair peered out of the shadow of the door.Rich gold color that waves naturally and loosely without winding.Sofia can't be mistaken for the color.

Sometimes my heart beats annoying and rings around my ears.This is an alarm. The potential fear engraved in Sofia's heart makes it so.It's different now.There's nothing to be afraid of.Sofia has Gilbert.

Bianca, who was hiding in the shadow of the door, came in like a bump when Beatrice told her to.She is wearing a simple, elegant but sturdy one-piece dress like that worn by a noble maid.

Bianca, whom she had met for a long time, looked much healthier than she had been in King's Landing.Is the change a life accident or a heart accident?

"Bianca...."

When Sofia called out her name, Bianca shook her shoulders.Bianca looks up at Sofia with a complex expression of remorse and jealousy.The strength of my eyes seemed unchanged.

"Thank you for taking care of me for a while..."

Sofia was surprised by Bianca's words.This is the first time Bianca has spoken with respect to Sofia.I didn't expect to use honorific words rather than words.

Calmly speaking, the Baron Lannish family was interrupted by Sofia's succession to Baron Lannish and his marriage to Gilbert.Bianca is no more noble.It was only natural that Sophia, who became Marquis, should be treated with respect.Bianca must be trying to distance herself from Sofia. That's a wise decision.

"... eh, yeah"

Sofia did not speak aggressively.When she noticed Gilbert's hand, which gently supported her hips, she panicked and smiled familiarly.

"Ah... the room is upstairs, so I'll show you. Please."

"Yes, come this way."

On instructions from Sofia, a servant took Beatrice's luggage and guided them to the guest room upstairs.

Beatrice didn't bring anyone but Bianca.When Sofia asked him if he had brought servants from the mansion like Countess Jeré, Hans smiled bitterly.

"Count Ruglan doesn't have servants in his usual mansion.All the servants are at the main residence and are involved in the administration.Rather than servants, they deserve to be called officials.Therefore, we will keep a few of our family members at our side during your stay. "

That's right.

Gilbert keeps listening to unusual stories.

"The Count is easy to get along with, so don't worry about Sofia.─ ─ If there's anything else, let me know immediately. "

"Yes"

Sofia nodded at Gilbert's words.They're worried about me.I'm sure it's okay, but I'm very happy about that.

"─ ─ Now, both of you.Please go back to your room and prepare for dinner tonight. "

Hans reminded me that Sofia still has work to do today.Invite the guests to dinner today.It's a smaller number than the meeting, but it's Sofia's first socialization as Gilbert's wife's job.

Sophia and Carina went back to the room and double-checked the meal and the list.
