15 Lady Wants To Help The Black Knight 2

"On the first floor is the saloon, just through the entrance, and on the left is the hall and the cafeteria, lined up on the right. Behind it is the kitchen and the prep room. I rarely use the hall now. There's a greenhouse, but it's the gardener's jurisdiction."

Carina first told Sofia about the rooms in the Marquis. Sofia follows Carina with a note to remember. Writing down Carina's precautions in fine letters makes it look like a simple sketch.

"You won't be working on the ground floor much because it's your job to take care of your old tools, but remember, they sometimes call you."

"Yes. Um, what are the old tools...?

It's almost upstairs. Follow me.

Return to Saloon and climb the stairs. The hallway on the second floor stretched from there to the left and right. All Sofia knows is the second most splendid room with the door folded to the left - the private room of the Marquis Principal Gilbert.

"There's Miss Gilbert's room upstairs, as well as the office and living room. The other spare rooms are now available for guests to stay in."

The office was on the edge of walking down the hallway past the living room and Gilbert's room. It is still a door with a heavy atmosphere. All the rooms on the other side of the stairs seem to be guest rooms.

"What room was that?

"That's the Marquis's wife's room. Gilbert is not married, so it's an empty room now."

It's between the office and Gilbert's room. I thought it was a beautiful door, but Sofia is convinced that it is still a family room. But something really bothered Carina's explanation and Sofia stopped unexpectedly.

"─ ─ Are you single, Miss Gilbert?

Carina stops and looks back at Sofia with her eyes round. Sofia dyed her cheeks as she turned her face mixed with surprise and surprise.

"What are you... Sofia, you've been in Miss Gilbert's room all along?!

"Yes, but... I don't know anything about Gilbert or the Knight."

The smaller Gilbert just asked Sofia what happened that day and didn't talk much about himself. Sofia was also more embarrassed than willing to talk to Gilbert, who somehow always held hands when talking. Sofia remembers how Gilbert's hands feel. I wonder if it was on my face or if it sounded so loud in the hallway where there were only two Carina's sighs.

"When Gilbert first brought Sofia home, it was such a fuss! I don't know anything, so where did you get to know him?

"That's...."

Sofia lay down her eyes in silence. Carina, who knows nothing, breathes. At that time, the noon bell rang as if I had watched.

"All right, let's talk more about it over lunch."

Sofia kept an eye on Carina, who pulled her arm without saying anything. Carina walks fast and Sofia moves her feet together in a hurry. In the preparation room on the first floor, Sofia imitated Carina and received a servant lunch basket from a counter in the kitchen.

"─ ─ This way. Let's eat in the garden."

"Ah, yes...."

In the backyard that I visited, it seemed that each of the servants who took a break was eating on a bench. Sofia also learns about it and looks for an empty bench. I chose a place with few people around me, and they sat side by side.

Ah, you're late today.

"Was it too late...?

"If you don't have guests for lunch, the servants can use the backyard. So, it's popular in front of seasonal flowers."

Indeed, as Carina said, looking around, all the flower beds and the benches on the side of the colored trees were buried, and the flower beds on the side of the Sofia and the others were just a space of soil for replanting or nothing.

"... but, well, look. Tell me where you can talk."

Carina is looking at Sofia with a serious face. Normally, I couldn't trust anyone so quickly, but I wanted to believe it because it was Carina, the maid who had followed me since Sofia was brought to the Marquis.

"Uh, I was picked up in the woods."

Carina watched the first words of Sofia, who opened her mouth flutteringly. I couldn't think of any other good way to convey it. Sofia can only laugh misleading.

"─ ─ What do you mean?

"... they kicked me out of my parents' house, and there's no place to go. When I slept in the royal forest, Gilbert and the others found me... protected here by Your Majesty's orders."

"That's right.... when I was first brought here, I was so vague, and I wondered what happened to Gilbert, who was taking care of me so seriously ─ ─ I finally figured out the reason for the overprotection."

The lunch basket contains delicious sandwiches and salads. It may be more than the food given at the Baron's Mansion. Sophia rode the ham sandwich, wondering if she could eat it all.

"So, actually, I don't know anything about this place...."

The ham is thick cut and very delicious. I felt that the Marquis had shown me how powerful it was to give this much to the maid's meal. I thought I knew that Gilbert who was close by yesterday was far away, and maybe I didn't. Lifting the lid with feelings similar to the feeling of unexpected loneliness.

"─ ─ Well then, I'll give you an easy lesson. There will be trouble at work."

Thank you, Carina.

Carina's smile tells me that she really cares about Sofia. Loosening her face as if she were smiling, Carina smiled slightly on Sofia's shoulders several times.
