35 Lady wants to know about the Black Knight 1

Knock the door three times.

I always get nervous when I visit Gilbert's room. Especially today, my body became extra stiff because I was ready to talk. I always change into a dress that I wear in my room, but today it remains the blue dress that Gilbert bought me. I wanted a little courage in this dress.

When I opened the door, Gilbert was still on the go. Gilbert laughs bitterly as Sofia tilts her neck.

"I was going to talk to you. ─ ─ Let's get out of here."

Before Sofia entered the room, Gilbert began walking down the hallway to take Sofia's hand and guide her.

"Ah, um...... where to?

This is the first time I've walked through the Marquis with Gilbert. He seems to be doing something bad, and his heart is more troubled than usual. Not seeing anyone was the only salvation for Sofia.

"Have you ever been this way?

Gilbert was walking down the hallway on the second floor towards the guest room opposite the office. Sofia has never entered the barely used guestrooms.

"Yes, this side is the guest room...."

"But not just the guest rooms."

Gilbert stopped at the very end of the hallway and opened a little door there. Beyond that is the staircase up. Sofia was surprised and watched.

"Master Gilbert, what is this?

Looking back, Gilbert raised his mouth sharply.

"On the roof. I don't see it from outside, so I dry my laundry during the day. ─ ─ Come on"

The dark stairs were a little worried, but Sofia slowly stepped out. Gilbert grabs Sofia's right hand and escorts it. Gradually, an innocent feeling like exploring as a child began to spring up and became a little more enjoyable. The long staircase seemed to go up the roof from the second floor to the third floor. Gilbert pushes open the door that appears first.

"─ ─ Wow......"

There was a sky full of stars. On the rooftops of the tall Forster Marquis in a lit aristocratic town, the view of the surrounding area is, to say the least, invisible. In the evening sky, which was more beautiful than that, Sofia unexpectedly raised her voice and stepped forward a few steps ago.

"There are few lights and stars here."

Tonight was a new moon. In the moonless sky, countless small stars instantly claim their existence.

"It's lovely...."

Forget the subject and fall in love with the starry sky. For the first time in King's Landing, the starry sky was so beautiful that it resembled what Baron Rainish looked like every day. As far as I can remember, I was concerned about the people who were kind to Sofia. At the beginning of the winter, it is cold on one piece, and there is an extra amount of loneliness. Gilbert pulled Sophia's hand when her body trembled.

"It'll be cold."

There is a lounge bench on the rooftop. Gilbert spread his handkerchief over his seat and urged him to sit on Sofia. Glossy handkerchiefs insist on their presence in less light. Sofia alternates between expensive handkerchiefs and Gilbert's face.

"Here."

Regardless of the watchful Sofia, Gilbert pulled back. I definitely don't want my dress to get dirty, so I probably sit on it. I wish you had changed your clothes, but it was too late to notice now.

Gilbert lowered his hips next to him as a matter of course and let go of the hands that had been tied once.

"Stay quiet with Hans."

"What...?

As she tilted her neck, Gilbert, who lowered her eyebrows in trouble, moved her left hand with her right hand. Platinum bracelets sparkle like stars. Now Sofia knows that's what Gilbert does when he uses magic. I soon stopped feeling the cold and was surprised at the pleasant temperature of being indoors.

"Master Gilbert, it's not cold."

Gilbert smiles bitterly.

"I just warmed up around this bench. When you get up, it's cold, so sit down."

Sofia nodded, but leaned her neck strangely.

"Why are you keeping secrets from Hans?

"Hans doesn't like me using this magic. When I was a kid, I was careful when I wore clothes regardless of the season, ever since."

Were you wearing short-sleeved clothes in the middle of winter? Imagine something strange, and Sofia giggled. Gilbert's face also eased slightly. Sofia's heart was lightened by laughing once. A wobbly mind prepares itself.

"─ ─ I think I told you before that I was the daughter of the previous Baron Rainish...."

Gilbert lay his left hand on Sofia's right hand. The warmth that comes directly into your hands seems to come directly into your mind. Since I've been here, I've always been supported by this hand.

"As you may know, my parents died five years ago. I was twelve. All of a sudden, my uncle rushed to me instead of doing nothing, and he gave me a funeral, a house extraction... and he became the new Baron of Lannish."

Basically, male inheritance is the mainstream in this country. If a woman is the lord, she will take her son-in-law to leave the house. And the house of Baron Rainish inherited from the father of Sofia unto his brother according to the basics.

"I was grateful. I've been locked up in my room since my parents' accident and I haven't done anything...."

When I remembered the time and looked up so as not to shed tears, there were many stars there. Sofia bites her back teeth as if she were seen in a beautiful blink.
