75 Lady returns to territory with the Black Knight 8

Sofia compared the hand in front of her with Kevin's worrying expression looking down. This hand is a knight's hand directed at the weak. Sofia shook her neck to the left and right. Turn your body toward the cries that are still ringing. When I pressed the floor with both hands, I was able to stand up even though I was fluttering.

"─ ─ Dennis, are you hurt?

Sofia called out to Dennis, who was moaning Mia and Lutz with tears. Dennis nods silently. Still, I checked on my knees and found that I scraped my palm when I applied the buttocks. There is a little bleeding.

"Let's disinfect it later.... Mia, Lutz. It's okay, because oniichan caught the bad guy."

I stroke their heads as gently as possible. Just like Gilbert did one day, tell them it's okay. Mia and Lutz were getting quieter and tired of crying and fell asleep for a while. Dennis also won't leave Sofia's side with the two of them.

"Miss, I brought the priest here. I'm glad the children are asleep."

Kevin came back with a rope to tie up the men with the old priest. The priest was in such a hurry that he rushed in and sighed deeply to make sure the children were safe.

"─ ─ I made a noise. I'm sorry."

I tried to get up, but the children couldn't because they were keeping their bodies with Sofia. I had to keep my head down. There was no one in the church who was distanced from what happened as a result of Kevin's riot. The priest shook his neck to the side and denied Sofia's words.

"No, there aren't many people at this time. I asked the person over there. Thank you for helping Dennis."

"Um, nothing happened to me...."

Shake both hands to the left and right. Sofia just jumped in, and if she hadn't done anything, Kevin would have handled it alone. I didn't do anything thankful. But it was Dennis himself who denied Sofia's words.

"That's not true! ─ ─ Ah. Sister, thank you for your help."

The priest strokes Dennis with his head down to praise him. Some proud expression is childish and cute. Sofia answered with a smile.

"No... but thank you."

Afterwards, the priest took Mia and Lutz to the back room, and Kevin pulled the men in custody to a separate room. As Sophia said, I'm moving with Kevin. It looked like a conference room, and I remember now that this church is also quite large in the territory.

Kevin is talking to the returning priest while watching the unconscious men. Sofia, sitting in the chair, was unable to enter the conversation and watched quietly to avoid disturbing it. I don't regret jumping out of my mind. Sofia had no choice but to stay still in that scene. However, the fear of Kevin, the priest, and the children trying to push him to death without being noticed will not disappear now.

I hear people talking from the other side of the door. My voice stopped snapping in front of the door as if it was approaching. There was a knock and Kevin stood up before the priest to open the door.

"─ ─ I got a report. The men."

"Yes, we have it here."

There were Gilbert and Tobias and Fecht from the task force. Sofia, who hasn't seen a task force since she left King's Landing, realizes that this is the first time a joint investigation has been conducted. Fecht talked to the priest, and after a while Tobias and Kevin took the men who named the vigilante to a separate room. Will the investigation be conducted as is? Even though it's happening in front of you, it looks like another world to Sofia. That's why they called me by my name nearby, and I guess there's nothing I can do about it.

"Sofia, are you okay?"

─ ─ Master Gilbert

The focus is on the familiar blue eyes. Gilbert's eyes, which did not show much emotion, clearly reflected the color of anxiety and anxiety that Sofia understood. Gilbert's right hand, wearing a platinum bracelet, is gently held in front of Sofia.

"I heard what you said. You must have been scared. I'm sorry I'm late."

"No... I'm fine ─ ─"

The words were swallowed on the way. Gilbert's serious expression won't allow me to deceive him.

The hand offered is a hand that cares and loves Sofia. As you fold your hands while being guided, you will be immediately drawn and held in a powerful arm. The tremors of your body that are still going on are about to be transmitted. Sofia hardened her body.

"It's not going to be okay. ─ ─ You can rest assured. I told you I wouldn't know... but now I know something."

Gilbert whispers in Sofia's ear. A faint voice will certainly not be heard by others. Supported by a more secure and powerful arm than anyone else, Sophia's eyes finally filled with tears. Even as his body relaxes and his tremors return, Gilbert seems to be grasping his weakness.

"Thank you... um, thank you. Well, I ─ ─ because Miss Gilbert came..."

Words don't make much sense as you snuggle up. Still trying to squeeze it out, Gilbert blocked Sofia's lips as if she knew it. I feel like I'm getting my temperature back.

"Thanks to Sofia, the child is safe. You may stretch your chest. ─ ─ But don't push it. Even now, you're not weak."

That's not true ─ ─

"You're working hard. I'm glad you're here. So ─ ─ thank you, Sofia."

Gentle words, the sweetness of the name called, do not allow Sofia to stop her tears. Sophia cried like a child and trusted herself ─ ─ realizing that she had fallen asleep in a warmer and happier place than anywhere else.
