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

Sofia exhales relieved in the room she is alone in.When I thought I could rest with Carina, it made me feel lighter.

It is also significant that the meeting of the family has been successfully concluded.The reception was coming, but six months after we got married, we were finally recognized.For Sofia, who had always been searching for her place, it seemed that it was bigger than she thought.

"─ ─ Even so, we need to be more careful.Emilia-sama and the others will be there for the reception..... "

Mathias and Emilia are supposed to attend the reception two weeks later with patience.Gilbert and Mathias are still close because the King gave permission to Mathias' friends to go to celebrate.

As for Sofia, she seemed nervous and had a stomach ache when she thought that someone important to everyone in the country would come when even she knew she was being noticed.Gilbert told me not to worry, but it's not that easy.Sophia spent most of her time alone in her room until the Marquis of Forster picked her up.

However, I am very pleased that many people recognize Gilbert as his wife.In an effort to do so, Sofia regained her temper.

At that time, a voice was heard from the other side of the door.

"─ ─ Ma'am, are you there?"

Sofia trembles at the unfamiliar voice of a man.It was for a moment that I hesitated to reply.There are guests in this mansion now.It was only natural that Sofia didn't know him well.

"Well... who is it?"

"It's Marcel Gerry. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but my wife... wanted to give you an opportunity to apologize."

Beyond the door seems to be Marcel, Lord of the House of Jeré.Lilia must have told you earlier.However, it is a disciplined person to come directly to apologize without interfering with his servants.

Sofia stood up and opened the door.

Thank you very much, Vicomte.

Marcel seemed a little surprised that Sofia herself opened the door.

"There's a maid out there right now, and I'm the only one.If you don't mind leaving the door open, I can listen to you.... "

Sofia put a modest smile on her face as she waited for it to twitch.Marcel seemed slightly scared, but he only served as the running stone, and soon returned to his original expression.

May I?

"Yeah, I don't mind. Please, go inside."

As a courtesy to Marcel, Sofia suggested the closest chair to the entrance.Marcel sat down feeling restless.Sofia inadvertently opened the door securely and sat across from Marcel, pinching the table.

Carina will be back while we talk.Sofia and Carina are preparing the tea for drinking, but it may be served to Marcel.

So, let me tell you ─ ─

As soon as Sofia spoke, Marcel stood up momentum and broke his hips.It is quite different from the calm impression at the time of the visit.

"I'm really sorry about my wife. We apologize!"

Suddenly, Sofia, who was conscious not to break her smile, was also shocked.

Please raise your head.

"No, stay like this. ─ ─ To my wife... I told Lilia strictly.I will never bother your wife again.So please... I hope you'll wait to talk to Mr Gilbert... "

"To Miss Gilbert...?"

Sofia answered unexpectedly. At the same time, I recall the circumstances of the Viscount Gere family.Forced retirement of the ancestral Vicomte and the legacy of Lilia.The decree sent there and his son, who married Lilia.Marcel was adopted by his son-in-law and became the viceroy.

"I'm embarrassed... have you heard about the wrongdoing of the ancestral Vicomte?"

"Yes, well... it's not a rumor."

Gilbert and Hans told me.Though it was a child's doing, given Gilbert's abilities, I thought it was sad.

"I was a child at the time, so I don't know the child... but I heard that Lilia severely hurt Lord Gilbert at that time.If it hurts your wife this time, she won't be able to live in social life! "

"Oh, no, me, etc."

Marcel's overestimation prompted Sofia to shake her neck sideways.But Marcel keeps talking seriously.

"No, no! I hear your wife and Princess Wang are close.Not to mention my wife's hostility to the Marquis... it's a terrible thing.Please, we have lost a lot of money during our previous fraud.Even now, I used to be a house order, so sometimes I get despised.I've been struggling with my wife... and maybe that's how depressing emotions turned out for her.Everything is my evil deed.So please.... "

Marcel deepened his lower head.Sofia breathes slowly, in a hurry, and then opens her mouth.

"Raise your head, Count. Please."

With Sofia asking for help, Marcel finally raised her face.Towards a slightly flushed face, Sofia smiles and prompts her to sit down with gestures.I made sure Marcel sat down shallowly and started talking.

"─ ─ I'm not going to tell Mr Gilbert.... we're processing this as if it hadn't happened. "

"Ma'am...."

"So please ask Lilia-sama to do the right thing."

After hearing the words, Marcel's eyes regained their strength.It was a political marriage, but I wonder if Marcel has a love for her wife, Lilia.Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to apologize to Sofia, who had just become my wife for Lilia.

"Of course! Thank you… I will supervise responsibly, as my wife will be."

Marcel now sat down.

I'd appreciate it if Marcel kept quiet because I don't want to talk to Gilbert.

After finishing the conversation, Marcel muttered his apology on his back.
