23 Lady Wants To Help The Black Knight 10

That day, Sofia returned to her room later than usual for a reason. Carina, who knew Sofia didn't know what to offer, politely told me about it. The story continued so that the work notes were filled for a few pages, until the maid director who came to see the servant hall stopped.

Sofia then returned to her room once and went to Gilbert's room with her clothes on. Finish bathing and wipe your hair with a towel. Recently, Gilbert always had me magically dried, so I forgot, but the only long hair that was stretching like a prostitute took time to dry. I give up and leave the bathroom to go back to my room with my wet hair. I missed not being able to speak up all the time. I realized I hadn't seen Gilbert since I started living here, but I know he's not here today.

So when the bedroom door was opened, Sofia turned her face with surprise and expectation. There was someone who Sofia wanted to see right now.

"─ ─ Wow... Welcome back, Gilbert. I'm sorry I'm late."

Sofia stopped wiping her hair in surprise. Gilbert is an unfamiliar knight. More gorgeous than usual, silver hair is visible and beautiful. Sophia fell in love with her in spite of her brilliance, and her blue eyes swayed.

"Sofia ─ ─"

Sophia was hugged by Gilbert the moment she was called to reply. You are crushed by a strong force, and your mouth unintentionally breathes. I found the body temperature rising as if the blood in the body had boiled due to the stiffness and strength of the body that was different from my own. Gilbert's face bent over Sofia's wet hair. My lips slightly touched my neck.

"─ ─ Yikes......"

Unexpectedly raising a small scream, Gilbert grabbed Sofia's shoulders and vigorously peeled them off. Staring from the front, my cheeks are flushing. Gilbert is surprised at something and keeps an eye on Sofia.

"Dear Gilbert...?

─ ─ Sorry.

The hand grabbing Sofia's shoulder was released to brush her hair. At the same time, dry hair falls on the shoulders and back. Gilbert's mouth moved as if he was trying to say something. Gilbert slightly tilted his neck to encourage him forward, but he turned away and sighed little by little.

"What happened today?

The usual language stops Sofia's feet on the spot, wanting to escape the shame. I opened my mouth slightly as I told her my ordinary heart.

"Um... today was payday. If Carina had told me about the price, it would have been too late ─ ─"

Gilbert, whose expression didn't move much, was jealous now. Sofia is so desperately hiding her feelings.

I see. ─ ─ Is there anything you want?

I hesitate to answer the question. I didn't want anything, but I wanted to give something to Gilbert and Carina if possible.

Carina asked me to go shopping with her, but Sofia refused because she didn't want to go out with her. Carina hasn't been told that she doesn't have magic. Life at the Forster Marquis was not inconvenient, and I didn't use magic tools at work, so I didn't have a chance to talk.

"No, um... I'm not going shopping."

"Why?

They just answer back and get stuck in words. But thinking Gilbert would never laugh, Sofia answered honestly.

"─ ─ That's a shameful story. I've never been to the city... shopping or alone."

As he leans down, the arm he just hugged enters his sight and inadvertently meditates his eyes. My cheeks are hot.

"Shall we go on holiday next time?"

Sophia opened her eyes and raised her face to a sudden offer that seemed misheard.

"But...."

Gilbert smiles bitterly because it says on his face that he may be busy. Sofia squeezed the hem of the dress with both hands into that sweet, mixed expression.

"I'll adjust that amount of time. ─ ─ Think about where you want to go."

Just say it, Gilbert passes by Sofia. I heard a loud noise opening the bathroom door.

─ ─ Good night

Gilbert says without looking back. The door was closed before returning the greeting. Sofia murmured small toward an empty space.

"Good night... please, Gilbert."

The hallway, which always walks back, is a rush for today. It hides the flushed cheeks and deceives the loud heartbeat. Appreciating not being able to pass by anyone, Sofia entered her room and locked the door. At that moment, your legs relaxed and sat on the floor. I knew better than anyone why I had a fever that wouldn't stop moving.

"─ ─ ─......"

Touch Gilbert's lips to the touch of her neck. The temperature of the slightly cold fingertips overlapped with that of the lips. Your vision is shaking. Sofia's heart was filled with Gilbert's thoughts so much that she couldn't bear to have her eyes wet.
