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

Sophia, are you nervous?

The meeting is in the large hall and the tea party is to be held in the salon.The children should be taken care of by servants in the garden.Sofia, who had once returned to her room, was headed for the salon with Christina.

"I'm nervous, but... I'm fine."

I studied as much as I could.The luncheon earlier was also a mild one.It's terrifying when you think about how your first opponent feels about you, but it's definitely each other.I wonder if Sofia is not the only one.

Christina broke her mouth.

"Fufufu, I miss it. But it's okay.For me ─ ─ "

There was a footsteps that seemed to be in a hurry to block Christina's old story.Seeing this, the maid comes early.

Grandma, may I have a moment?

Speaking of relatives, I stuck my tongue where the Marquis and the Marquis were talking.A maid who has served Christina for a long time will only do so if someone of higher rank than the Marquis of Forster is involved.

Christina and Sofia noticed it and stopped the conversation.The maid, reassured that the two had stopped, slowed her pace to the point where she could not stand her footsteps.

Oh, what's wrong?

"Actually, from the queen ─ ─"

Show Christina the envelope the maid held dearly.The envelope, which seemed to glimpse Sofia, contained a seal that no one would have known about Aioria.It's royal.

Christina looked at it and raised her eyebrows to Sofia's sorry.

"Sorry, Sofia. I will go as soon as I check the contents.Will you go to the salon first? "

"Ok... please don't push me"

Sofia nodded. I really wanted Christina to be by my side, but I couldn't help but get in touch with the queen.He says he'll be there soon, so I have to do my best alone until then.You can't say you want to stand next to Gilbert if you can't do that.Today's tea party is in the form of a marquise, Sofia.

Christina slapped Sofia lightly on the shoulders and went back to her room with the maid.

Sophia, who was alone in the hallway, suddenly thought very carefully that Carina was not here right now.

Go down the stairs, turn around, and walk down the hallway.He put his hand on the salon door and slightly opened it.

"Isn't that the new 'ma'am' the daughter of a fallen baron?It's hard to marry the Marquis..... "

The words I heard sewed Sofia's feet on the spot.I can't move any more of the doors that have been opened.

Not only the Lord of Voices is inside, but everyone else is chatting.Yet the voice reached Sofia's ears firmly.

"Ma'am, you're loud."

The embarrassing voice probably belongs to the servant brought by the woman who is the Lord of the Voice.However, the woman continued her words, seemingly without concern.

"Oh, that's good. What kind of hand did you use to drop it?"

"Ah... that's..."

Sofia peered inside through the gap in the door.I know it's not the right thing to do as a lady, but I don't have the courage to go into the salon right now.

The modest voice was that of the young lady who had been introduced to Sofia earlier as her near-age daughter.And the woman who seems to be trying to discredit Sofia.

"Isn't that right? I'm not talking about a family of criminals.I don't like it, even if she's the wife of the main house, I have to respect her. "

Dear Lillian ─ ─ Your words have gone too far.

The maid who had finally identified her master clearly did not have the power to stop her.

"What? You're my maid.Are you on her side? "

"I'm sorry in that sense.... this is my home, so I have to be careful. "

"Oh, but isn't that what everyone thinks?All the girls here could have been in that position. "

Sofia's chest hurt sharply.

Gilbert would have a much better match than Sofia, an idea that stopped Sofia over and over again.The daughter of a decent house, with a proper appearance, a connection to the house, and then ─ ─.

There were many conditions in Sofia's head back then that suited Gilbert's imagination.Sofia didn't have any of them.And all the ladies here have it.

"─ ─ But..."

The maid is still trying to stop her husband.

It is obviously unnatural for Sofia to stand here like this.Don't keep me waiting, and I'll worry about Christina when she comes.I have to pretend I didn't hear anything and go inside.

I think so, but I can't help but think that the people in here are listening to Lilia now.

I'm sorry. I can't stand it. In that case, Sofia's cool part whispers that you should go inside and say it back.Still, the air in the place dominated by malicious words was heavy and the door could not be opened any further.

It was then. There's a loud bang.It's the sound of opening the door.

Sofia hasn't opened the door.Looking down the hallway, there was another door on the other side that was open.

"What do you mean?"

It was a voice I was used to hearing.The noble lady's high and passing voice.But you can see that there are some negative emotions in it, a hard voice.

Sofia knew the owner very well.
