Earlier the next morning, Sofia headed to Baron Lannish's House with the rest of the joint investigation. It's been a long time since Gilbert's knighthood looked daunting, and Sofia is naturally brave. The Knights who were in Count Birder's realm yesterday were already guarding us outside the Mansion.
─ ─ Are you ready?
"Yes"
Gilbert gently pushed Sofia's back. Sofia was prompted to go through the gate and through the vestibule. I hesitated slightly, but with the same momentum, I opened the front door. Gilbert and the two of you go inside. Others were supposed to wait behind open doors. You must have noticed the sound of the door, Percy from the house order rushed in a hurry.
"Isn't this Sophia? What happened all of a sudden?
Percy said without trying to hide the mood of disgruntlement with her mouth crossed. Sofia stretches her back without glare.
"─ ─ There's something I need to find in this house."
"But I heard that Sophia was able to leave the house. If so, with whose permission are you saying that?
I found Gilbert wrinkled between his eyebrows next to Sofia. There is no doubt that it is a word that has gone too far as a servant. I remember calmly somewhere that this man was responsible for my life's inconvenience.
"Who is it?
"It's Percy. My uncle has ordered me to leave the territory."
Gilbert nodded convincingly.
"─ ─ Tobias, there he is."
Tobias, who was waiting, came in and restrained Percy in a futile move. Percy was sealed in motion without resistance and opened his mouth with a twist.
"No, why not! All of a sudden ─ ─"
"This is a measure to preserve evidence. Please understand."
Tobias says calmly. Still, Gilbert came a few steps closer to Percy, who was trying to escape.
"Five years ago, on the day of the death of the previous Baron and his wife, you were the one who was in charge. ─ ─ Only two fell down the cliff, choosing a long way around. You still don't know what this uniform stands for?"
Percy glanced at Gilbert in black knighthood and the task force that was about to enter through the front door and opened his mouth.
"No way."
Sofia puts pressure on her feet to avoid being drunk by the atmosphere. My mother, who was the previous baroness, was kind, but sometimes had a harsh beauty. Remembering this figure, Rin looks forward.
"No way, Percy. I invite them to this mansion by my will. Something... wrong?
Not many of the servants at the Baron's Mansion were gathered around in the midst of the commotion. Tobias draws Percy away.
"─ ─ I'll put you on the carriage."
"Please."
When Tobias took Percy out, the servants' voices became louder. You must be upset. Not only are some people confused without knowing anything, but others are obviously bluishing their faces.
"Dear Gilbert,
When Sofia called, Gilbert nodded. Sofia speaks as loudly as she can.
"I'm sorry to disturb you. I'm looking for something. ─ ─ Ladies and gentlemen, gather in the hall."
The hall gathered all the servants working at Baron Rainish's Mansion. The Knights' watch prevents anyone from moving from there. Sofia, along with Gilbert and Fecht's co-operatives, decided to search the mansion. Looking for shape-shaped necklaces and matching earrings. If you knew it was evidence, you wouldn't be able to easily sell it out, throw it away, or carry it with you. Then it must be somewhere in this house.
"─ ─ Thank you, Gilbert."
It's evidence, but it's also an important memory for Sofia. The feeling came back to this house and became stronger. The more you pass through your grief and become vain, the more magical objects you can't handle in your original Sofia. Sophia secretly exhaled while examining the baroness's aunt's jewelry box.
"No, we have your help, too. ─ ─ What about each other?
Gilbert seems to be magically moving the furniture and searching for a hidden safe. Even though it's not a big house, the thing you're looking for is too small.
Sofia remembered the days she lived with her uncle and cousin in this house. Honestly, I don't have a good memory. I was yelled at many times and my hands were raised. Did my aunt and uncle ever feel uncomfortable in such memories ─ ─ Sophia's room, living room, and cafeteria followed my memories in turn. Where they most hated Sofia getting in.
"─ ─ Office?
Sofia murmured rather than telling anyone. Gilbert stopped and looked back.
Did you say office?
"Yes, I think my uncle hated it when I got close. So... I thought maybe..."
Gilbert nodded immediately and drew Sofia's hand to Baron Lannish's office. It seems that Fecht was searching earlier, and on the desk are piles of back books, etc. that may be evidence items.
"Marquis, Miss Sofia. What can I do for you?
"Ah, um... Master Fecht ─ ─ right. Let me find this room, too."
"I don't mind. But don't touch anything on the desk."
Fecht pushes for caution. Sofia thanked and looked around the office. The office, which had been in the office for a few years, had changed considerably from where Sofia knew it. At that time, according to the life of Sofia, the temperatures that were aligned with the antiques were completely replaced by magical instruments. The fireplace has been removed and the room lights are not familiar to Sofia. Not only that, but the carpets and furniture seem to have been replaced.
"─ ─ You've completely changed."
Sofia touched the lamp on the shelf at the edge of the room. It seems to be the only antique condiment in this room that was driven into the corner.
As far as I can remember, this lamp was always on the desk when Sofia's father was working.
"There were some things that weren't sold..."
As far as the detailed lampshade is concerned, it seems to have a high value. I couldn't believe the uncle kept taking care of it. Sofia leans her neck and somehow lifts it with both hands. As he tilted to pull, the lamp burst into Sofia's hands.
