Unlike the hidden destinations, a carriage for the Marquis of Forster was prepared from the townhouse in King's Landing on the way home. It will take you three days to return to King's Landing.
"I had a lot of trouble going. Don't worry, I won't hurry home."
"─ ─ Yes, thank you."
I pretended to be a merchant when I came to the Territory. I was happy to be close enough to ride a horse all the time, but in fact, I had a bit of a hard time the next morning.
"I go by horse, but I run side-by-side with a carriage. Let me know if you need anything."
Yes.
I am pleased with the warm words that are taken for granted. There was a lot going on in the Territory. It is also a pleasure to return to the Marquis of Forster. Will Carina, a friend and maid of Sofia, praise Sofia for her hard work?
Put your right hand on Gilbert and put your foot on the pedestal. Sophia watched as she bent slightly into the carriage to avoid hitting her head.
"─ ─ Good work, Sofia. It didn't seem like it was hard."
Sofia was the one who wanted to see her, smiling and waving her hands.
"Carina!? Eh... why?"
"Gilbert asked me to. He wants Sofia to accompany him on his way home because it's a carriage. Ah, look. Sit down now."
"Ah. Uh-huh. - Miss Gilbert?
Sofia lowered her hips opposite Carina and leaned her neck.
"That's right. I was alone in the carriage and I was worried because of everything. It's really overprotective."
Carina looks happy with her words and back. That's what makes Sofia happy. I wanted to see Carina sooner.
"You know, Carina. I've been through a lot. Will you listen to me?
"Of course. It takes three days to get to King's Landing. There's plenty of time."
Besides, Carina said that she had to brush her hands for nothing, so she moved her hands tightly. Sophia smiled at what she wanted to talk about.
"Welcome back, Sofia!
It was Christina, Gilbert's mother, who first welcomed Sofia into the Marquis of Forster. Suddenly embraced by a sudden jump, Sofia trembles her shoulders. Speaking of which, I now remember Elvin and Christina staying in the town house.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt? Are you alright?
"Yes, yes. It's okay...."
"Yes, thank goodness!
When you're hugged, it's painful, but at the same time it's warm and mellow. Just behind that, Elvin smiled gently.
Welcome back, Mr. Sofia.
"─ ─ Thank you. My stepfather, my stepmother. I just... left."
It was unconscious that there was no tears. Christina's gentleness and hugging arms remind Sofia that Elvin's serenity has returned home. Sooner or later, this was the home for Sofia.
"Father, Mother. I'm back. Could you let Sofia go? ─ ─ I'm tired from traveling. Please let him rest."
That's true, too.
Christina snapped away from Sofia. Suddenly, Gilbert lightly supported his free body with one arm.
"Rest in your room. I will go to the royal castle after this. ─ ─ See you later."
Sofia nodded with tears as she stroked her hair.
"Yes, thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me for a moment."
"You can take your time. Let's have some tea later."
"Yes, please let me join you."
Sofia went to the room with Carina, smiling softly and thanking her. Take a bath with Carina, change into comfortable clothes, and dive into the bed. Sooner or later, the sophisticated bedding in the familiar guest room resolves Sofia's physical and mental strengths. I was completely relaxed and completely asleep when I realized it.
A few days later, Elvin and Christina returned to the Territory. The strangely lively mansion returns to its calm and usual atmosphere. Sofia has also returned to her daily routine of studying to become Gilbert's wife.
In the next two weeks or so, Baron and Baroness Lannish's trial ended. The charges are related to the production of illegal goods and the murder of an ancestral baron and his wife. The sentence is life imprisonment in addition to deprivation of identity. He said he couldn't get out of jail in the north of the country until he died. In this country, where the death penalty has been abolished for a long time, it is the most severe punishment. Gilbert let Sofia hear the report lightly.
─ ─ Do you want to see me?
The question was unexpected to Sofia. Strangely enough, there's no feeling for my aunt. Am I a cold person? But it's true that I don't want to be involved anymore.
"No, it's none of my business anymore"
Yeah, I guess so.
Sofia sighed softly at Gilbert, who nodded as if that were natural.
And about Miss Bianca ─ ─
"Bianca, is that you?
"That's right. She is not guilty of anything by law. But you can't leave it at the Baron's."
"That's right... I'm sorry, sir. There have been too many of them lately, and I completely forgot."
When I noticed it, I completely forgot about the disposal of Bianca. It was no exaggeration to say that you once controlled Sofia's fears.
"Oh, yeah. Did you forget?"
Gilbert smiled pleasantly, softly and deep in his throat.
"─ ─ That's a good thing. Sofia is looking forward."
"Eh...."
Gilbert grabbed Sofia's confused hand. It is as strong and gentle as usual.
"It's good not to be obsessed with the bitterness of the past. You can live with all the hard work you've been through and pick up your sweet memories."
─ ─ Yes
Well, can I take care of Miss Bianca? ─ ─ Trusted relatives include strangers who live as civilians while making wine. I thought you wanted people. "
Sofia opened her eyes. Will Gilbert prepare the house for Bianca, whose uncle lost his position as a sinner and baroness? The essence will fall on the civilian population, but it may be more likely to start over than without a place to go. I remember the words of my parents, who were the ancestral barons. If possible, I want Bianca to live again correctly in her relationship with others and in her labor.
"Thank you for your concern..."
I was glad that Gilbert had thought that far. And Sofia had something to do next.
So, I'm planning on seeing you ─ ─
Sophia stretched her spine to the words.
