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

◇ ◇ ◇

Looking forward to Gilbert's return home, Sofia took off her new one-piece dress and had Carina put on makeup.

I'm not used to decorating glamorously, but I want to be as cute as possible in front of someone I like.Carina was happy to help.

In the middle of the preparation, a carriage sounded and he might have come back earlier than the news. He hurriedly dressed himself up and opened the door to pick him up at the front door, and realized something strange.

A tall woman shouted from downstairs.

Sofia knows this voice.It's because it's been directed at Sofia for years.

Gilbert and Bianca were talking to each other as they rushed to see Saloon.Gilbert's hand is holding Bianca's hand.

From Bianca's unusual appearance, Gilbert also seemed to be blamed.

Besides, I don't know what the details are, but the conversation seems to be about Sofia.

"─ ─ Bianca, what are you doing?"

"Sofia...."

When Sofia called out, they stopped moving tightly and shouted up the stairs with great momentum.Sophia walks down the stairs one by one, feeling her gaze painfully.

Your cheeks naturally relax at a distance from Gilbert.Gilbert, who is familiar with his black knighthood, doesn't seem to have suffered any major injuries at first glance.

I missed you. I was alone and thoughtful.Besides, I was worried about Gilbert.

Still, Sofia's heart is filled with just seeing her safe appearance.

Welcome back, Mr. Gilbert.

Sofia picked up Gilbert's hand, which seemed to have touched Bianca until now, and grabbed it gently.It makes me happy to realize once again that I'm really back at the temperature that I feel even with my gloves on.

However, Gilbert's expression in front of her was stiff, and Sofia leaned her neck.Normally, you'd hug Sofia and soothe her expression with the word "now."

Strangely, Gilbert grabbed Sofia's shoulders by surprise.

Sofia, how are you feeling?

The indigo eyes stare at Sofia's complexion so that they don't miss any small changes in Sofia.Her eyes narrowed with suspicion, slowly approaching.

How are you feeling?

Sofia can't even blink as she peeks into her eyes at close range.

Without knowing what was going on, Gilbert slightly released his face and wrinkled between his eyebrows.

"Oh, I heard you fell down, but did you see a doctor?How's Hans?I'm sorry I left you in a difficult time.I'll see you again ─ ─ "

Sophia was surprised at Gilbert, who was so painfully meditating.

Hans and Carina both know that it was a lie to fall.In that case, I remember Bianca asking Gilbert for something.Maybe Bianca blamed Gilbert for Sofia's fall.

Looking at Bianca in a hurry, she wondered if she was surprised at Gilbert's disturbance, and was stuck on the spot.

Sofia turned to Gilbert and smiled reassuringly.

"Don't worry, it's nothing.I fell, but I fell.That's a lie... look, I'm fine. "

Take off your shoulder hand and grip it with each hand.Then Sofia jumped into Gilbert's broad chest.

"Sofia, what are you doing...."

The confused Gilbert dared to hold him firmly with his arms around his back.

It's hard to see Sofia's heart.If Gilbert were to peek into Sofia's memories and thoughts now, he would be happy to return home honestly and safely without misunderstanding.

I was jealous of Bianca, who could be told just by touching her.

Sofia knows that there are people who are afraid of their abilities.Recently, I thought I could understand that feeling, and I remembered my guilt.Still, Sofia is ready to show her everything whenever she becomes Gilbert.

It's never going to come true.

"I wish I could show you my heart just by touching it.What should I tell them? "

Looking up, Gilbert slowly turned his hand around Sofia's back.Sophia exhales relieved that she has finally been hugged.

"Still, I'm happy to be able to touch you like this.So talk to me later and let me hear it.─ ─...... Sofia, I'm home. "

Sofia laughed with joy at the words she finally heard.

"Yes, I've been expecting you back."

Sofia's lips are softly touched by her mouth.When I shook my neck embarrassed, I felt a soft fever on my forehead this time.
