9 The Lady is picked up by the Black Knight 8

Sofia was puzzled by the soft feel of carpet on the soles of her bare feet. You don't know where to look, and you can't look at Gilbert in front of you, just wandering around. It was Hans who brought the trunk and shoes that moved Sofia and Silent Gilbert's time.

"─ ─ Master Gilbert, please explain."

Hans, positioned at an appropriate distance, glanced at Sofia. Sofia turns down to escape her gaze.

"Miss Sofia Lannish. She was the daughter of the previous Baron Rainish and was ordered by His Highness to look after her here for the time being."

As a matter of course, Sofia opened her mouth unexpectedly. If you believe Gilbert's words, Sofia will be living here for a while. Gilbert's heart, who honestly took Mathias' orders, remains unclear to Sofia.

"─ ─ Are you playing with His Highness again?

"No...."

Gilbert looked down slightly. Sofia feels sorry and lowers her eyebrows and drops her shoulders. As far as I can tell, Gilbert is somewhat older than Sofia. Sophia thinks it's strange to be married because she succeeds the Marquis.

"Um... if it bothers you, I ─ ─"

"It's not a nuisance. ─ ─ Beyond this door is the bathroom. Come in."

Gilbert threw the trunk he received from Hans into Sofia casually. Sofia looks at her trunk behind Gilbert's stretched hand. Will you return it? Sofia picked it up with both hands and shouted Gilbert's face at the top of her pocket. At that moment, Gilbert's indigo and Sofia's eyes met the chisels from the front. Gilbert's expression moved slightly.

Sofia shook her shoulders and took the trunk from Gilbert and opened the bathroom door and ran inside. It's against the rules to show such a face. Until then, Gilbert's eyes, which had been so selfless and frightening, were softly narrowed. Sofia puts her trunk at her feet and hands on her chest. Sofia told herself that her faster heartbeat was due to surprise and confusion.

"─ ─ Master Gilbert, what happened to her? Besides, Gilbert's private bathroom..."

After Sofia rushed across the door, Gilbert was staring at Hans from the front. Hans has been serving the Marquises since Gilbert's father was his master. Gilbert was confronted like this and could not escape. I was nervous at the royal castle, but I feel a little at home. Gilbert sighed small.

She won't be able to use any other bathrooms.

Gilbert briefly explained to Hans how he was supposed to bring Sofia here. Hans deepens the wrinkles between his eyebrows as the story progresses.

"So Miss Sofia, despite being a baroness, was about to fall?"

"─ ─ That's right. You won't find a job as easily as you have no magic. His Highness was worried about it."

Hans nodded convincingly at Gilbert's words. From Sofia's scratchy figure and the torn piece on the hook, you thought it was nothing.

"So, why did Miss Sofia do that?

As a matter of course, Gilbert turned his face to Hans, who asked Gilbert. As I explained to Mathias, I felt helpless and lowered my voice with my eyes down.

"... I don't know because I can't see anything."

"─ ─ What did you say?

In Gilbert's words, Hans just replied that he didn't understand. Hans would not believe it, knowing that Gilbert had never tried to peek inside someone before and that he was distanced by his abilities despite being admired by his servants.

"I'm reading the magic shake. Without magic, you can't see anything."

Gilbert had no intention of speaking any more and took the book that was on the bedside. I can't read my expression because I'm turning my back, but Hans seems to be laughing. You're not going to hide it, or your voice is seeping with joy.

"Well, let's take a rest first. I have some air conditioning and would you like to stay in this room?

No, that's ─ ─

Looking back in haste, Gilbert saw Hans' smile from the front. The expression was the same as the one Mathias showed earlier this morning.

Remove magic stones and crates from pockets and place them carefully. When I took off my clothes, the fabric rubbed against my skin and I felt pain. I knew the wound should be washed away, but I was afraid it would irritate me. Sofia opened her eyes to surprise in the spacious and beautiful bathroom that she was prepared to step into.

"Why..."

The decoration of the classic tiles was splendid, but it was not what Sophia was surprised about.

There were two levers that Sofia was familiar with. By simply twisting it by hand, you can determine the amount of water and adjust the temperature of the shower. When my parents loved me and lived, it had the same specifications as the one used at Baron Rainish. For the magical Sofia, and the antique tuning that my parents used to give me. The nostalgia you feel without thinking makes your eyes moist. When I hurriedly twisted each of the shower levers, a little warm water washed away Sofia's tears.
