64 The Lady Engages the Black Knight 8

Gilbert exhaled deeply in the conference room where he was left alone. As I asked Mathias, a joint task force and 2nd Platoon investigation was completed. Two from 2nd Platoon, two from Gilbert, and four from Special Forces. He mainly researches the merchants and nobles of King's Landing as he holds daily meetings.

The investigation progressed faster than expected. Routes of distribution of illegal goods have been largely identified, and the unnatural gold circulation of Baron Rainish over the past few years supports this suspicion. Then we should actually go to the Baron's territory and secure the production base.

The problem is another case. The second platoon was put in the first place to investigate this incident. However, the case itself was five years ago, and no evidence has been preserved. The pursuit was extremely difficult. Would it be better to go directly to Baron Rainish's residence in the Territory and meet his servants at the time of the incident?

"─ ─ Baron Lannish."

It's a case I haven't told Sofia yet. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep quiet forever, so I couldn't talk to her.

But you'll have to tell her. Former Baroness necklace that Sofia had shown me before. Gilbert felt that it would be one of the few pieces of evidence.

I accidentally put my hand on my forehead. I'm glad Elvin and Christina got here early. Thanks to this, I was able to officially position Sofia as Gilbert's fiancé. I have already reported it to Mathias and it has been announced as my fiancée. That may not be enough to protect them, but it would be somewhat different if we could make them think that there is a shield behind the Marquis.

Lieutenant, are you here?

The door was knocked several times and Gilbert was called from the outside. Second Platoon. I shouldn't have planned anything after this, but did something happen?

"What is it?"

Until then, my thoughts stood in an inorganic voice. Reflect a little bit on whether it sounded harsh.

"─ Well, there was, wasn't there?

"But are you sure you want to go in this far?

"Is it good? I accept public tours, and I don't keep secrets in the hallway."

"I see... Thank you for your kindness."

What I heard from the hallway was a strange, rolling bell voice. The voice of the crew plays only the heart. Gilbert couldn't help but open his eyes ─ ─ and walked towards the door in a few steps. Pull the knob with momentum. There was only one fiancé, Gilbert, who couldn't have misheard the voice. I love being dressed in a slightly more glamorous, elegant outfit than usual.

"─ ─ Sofia, why are you here?

I don't suppose the Secret Service brought him in on their own. Sofia waved in a hurry to Gilbert, who was wrinkled between her eyebrows.

"Congratulations, Gilbert... My father-in-law asked me to pay you."

On the hand I was given was a letter sealed with a familiar stamp. That is indeed proof of what the Marquis of Forster wrote. Gilbert was relieved that he was worried and received a letter.

"Thank you... have you been here alone?

"No, your mother-in-law is going to see the queen, so I'm here with you."

Elvin and Christina have been in the town house for two weeks. I plan to stay for a month. They were socializing to get their share of the territory back. And Sofia seemed to have gotten a lot brighter with both of them, especially Christina. I heard you were taken out occasionally, but I didn't think you'd come here.

I see. I'm glad I'm not alone. "

I was worried about letting you go out alone in the present world. Gilbert doesn't always come with it.

"Thank you for your concern...."

Sofia is very cute when she dyes her cheeks and looks at us in the eye, but the crew member who is looking at it next to her glimpses at her vision. And I knew Elvin had brought Sofia here knowing that.

"So, Kevin, what are you doing?

"Ah, did you see that?

Kevin, a member of the 2nd Platoon, who is also a joint investigator, smiled at Gilbert. As long as Gilbert joins us, Captain Arbel needs to remain in the main squad. I was purely grateful to you for adding your skilled squad to the joint investigation.

You've been here since the beginning.

To take it for granted, Kevin looked complicated.

"Ah, no, I've been here since the beginning. I was wondering if I was in sight."

I see. So why are you here?

Weren't you back in the squad office before? Gilbert asked, but it was Sofia who responded.

"Um... this guy saved me!

I was a little worried about what Kevin was saying, but what does it mean to help? Gilbert turned to Sofia.

"I don't know where to go. There was a whole building just past the gate....."

Is it embarrassing to get lost, Sofia puts her hand on her cheek. For Gilbert, the growth was dazzling considering that he was frightened on his first outing. Not to mention, there are many similar buildings around here.

So that's it. When I tried to get back to the office, there was something amazing going on. For now, I pulled him out and took him to Gilbert's. "

Gilbert sighed slightly as if he were still surrounded. Recently, Sofia has become more and more beautiful, especially with Christina's souvenir clothes and Carina's keen efforts to study. Christina, who threw herself into the Knights of the Guards' compound, resented what she was thinking.

"Well, thank you. However, the letter I wanted to deliver by then ─ ─"

"Master Gilbert?

Elvin lives in the same house now. I'll see you when I get home. You can talk there. When I got engaged, I told Elvin about Baron and Baron Lannish's sins. I wonder what it means to have Sofia come here.

"─ ─ I'm going to the reception room. Kevin, make arrangements."

Each of the reception rooms is a private room and is used to talk to outside people or to talk confidentially within the team. Kevin answered Gilbert's instructions and left.

"Can Sofia stay like this?

Gilbert didn't really want to involve Sofia. But it would make sense for Elvin and Christina, who are socializing, to send Sofia here.

"Yes, don't leave me alone..."

Sofia grabbed Gilbert's jacket hem modestly. I suppose you came to a place you didn't know, and you thought about it. Gilbert nodded tightly around his loose mouth.
