98 Under Valentine's Sweet Confession (for Sofia and Carina)

Carina changed to look as cute as she could and took a deep breath by the gate, the entrance to the Knights of the Imperial Castle.

The target is here. As the sun rises - the Knights will soon finish their work. Then you will come out of this gate. I noticed that there were many other girls besides Carina. It's more like a city daughter than a noble child. The Knights often go to the city. I'm sure they admire me a lot. I just hope they're different from the people they're after.

"─ ─ After all, the Knights are so popular."

Murmur without telling anyone. It was the first time Carina had come here on this day. As the Knights came out of the gate, some of the girls gathered for him. Young and well-looking people, special forces, magic knights, and more seem to be particularly popular, and every time a yellow voice sounded, Carina suddenly raised her chest.

"Haah!

A little louder suddenly, the number of girls approached the gate, thinking that it might be more than two digits. Carina looks at you in a hurry. What if it's the person I want? But the person who was there was different from what I expected - but she was a well-acquainted person, and Carina narrowed her eyes. Young girls dressed cutely. Instead of reaching out for the confectionery offered in the circle, he is trying to rush ahead with a cool glimpse.

"I don't accept sweets."

The girls, who were refused briefly, continued to follow without glare. The opponent was Carina's master, Gilbert. If you don't want to be noticed, hide behind the pillars and watch.

"Marquis, but I... made it for today ─ ─"

"Thank you for saving my life in the city the other day."

I would like you to turn around the words that can be thrown one after the other, but it will be late. It certainly had the effect of stopping him. Looking back, I didn't see anything that could be called an expression. I think it deserves to be called the Black Knight.

"─ ─ Sorry. I'm glad everyone cares, but I don't want to mislead my fiancée. Besides..."

The next moment they breathed, the people on the spot stopped moving. Friendly enough to be said to be ruthless, but certainly less emotional, he smiled softly and softly.

"If I can see her smile, that's enough."

The smile that came to mind was enough to stop them on the spot. Immediately after the gap, Gilbert boarded the carriage. The girls left behind went home with their cheeks red.

"Ah, the Lieutenant is also guilty. You know, don't you think? Carina."

Carina hurriedly turned to the voice from behind and hit the pillar where she was hiding ─ ─ buttocks.

"Well, why are you here ─ ─"

"No, I thought it would be hard to get home from the front. Look, Tobias is being honest... he's already surrounded. We in the 2nd Platoon often go out to the city, so we'd better go back in hiding on a day like today."

Looking at the gate, there was certainly a new crowd. With that gesture, Carina unexpectedly sighs. But Carina couldn't complain when she came here to give him the sweets. Kevin, a member of the Knights of the Guard 2nd Platoon who offered his right hand to help Carina wake up with her buttocks on, fainted a lewd smile.

While Sophia and Gilbert were still in Baron Lannish territory to solve the case, Kevin escorted the men who tried to capture the boys at the church to King's Landing, before Gilbert sent them to the Forster Marquis Mansion in King's Landing. Carina, who was Sofia's new maid at the time, also worked as a parlor maid while Sofia was away. And until Hans, who was shopping nearby, came to replace Elvin and Christina, Kevin's opponent would be Carina.

"Thank you. I hate coming to the noble mansion, but I like the deputy captain. Black tea is delicious, and I'm not exaggerating. It's strange that you're the Marquis."

Carina is a little happy because of her personality.

"Thank you for your compliments."

It is rare for a servant who is at the edge of a room to speak to a Guest. But if you talk, you are allowed to have a conversation. The man named Kevin had such a childish face that he couldn't guess his age, that he didn't look much like Carina. But I'm definitely older because I work as a knight. Even though it is cute, it has a strong masculine appearance. Carina changed her perception of knights like this.

"Ah, don't be so hard. Because I'm nervous."

Kevin smiled and kept talking to Carina while drinking tea.

"Hmm... ah, that's right. You might be curious, but I'll answer any questions you may have about the lieutenants or the Baron's Landing."

Kevin's offer was a ship for Carina to cross, unless, of course, it was an investigative secret. I want to know and want to know, but I can finally hear about Sofia, my dear friend and master of service, who was somehow calm after only hearing the news of safety. If you think so, it will be a long time ago.

"Now, can you tell me about Sofia? How's he doing? Are you working hard?... aren't you crying?"

I became a little anxious inside my mouth, and my last words became dull. It's embarrassing and stretches its spine for as long as possible.

I see. Miss Sofia's... friend?

"I'm a maid."

When he dyed his cheeks ashamed of the confusion, Kevin smiled with a soft, grown-up expression that didn't fit the child's face.

"That may be the position, but it's my friends who are so worried. Besides, I think Miss Sofia is a friend."

"That's right.... sorry. And then ─ ─"

"Oh, I see. Uh, Miss Sofia."

At that time, the sound of knocking on the door just sounded. Hans must have come. Unfortunately Carina couldn't hear it, she pasted a smile for work.

"Thank you for your story. Hans is here, so excuse me."

"Oh, wait."

Kevin shouted as if he were retaining Carina, who was about to leave.

"When's the job done?

Carina looks back and leans her neck.

"It's 6 pm...."

"Would you like to join us for dinner? I can't talk about the Sophia ladies right now, but then I can slowly tell you."

It was too charming an invitation. I used to hate being soft, but Kevin's expression didn't make me feel guilty. Is that because Carina has already begun to trust Kevin, or is it because of Kevin's nature?

"─ ─ Thank you. See you at 6: 00."

Carina responded with the illusion that she was rolling in her palm.

We've talked more than we expected, and Kevin is a good friend, and since then we've had occasional meals together. It was unexpected for Carina, and her innocence and the mixed character of calculation were enough to be favorable.

"Ah, thank you."

Carina lay her hand on Kevin's hand and stood up. With her arms pulled, Carina could withstand the risk of losing balance. Looking at the sudden force, Kevin grabbed Carina's hand.

"Ha ha, sorry. Sorry. ─ ─ So, who's Carina's target?

The round eyes of a lovely face are narrowed, and the shadow of the pillar is turned toward the gate. The knights are still coming out, and the girls are screaming.

"─ ─......"

Huh?

I regret not being able to speak. Carina waved away her shaken hand and removed the gato chocolate she had made with Sofia from the bag she had brought. Beautifully wrapped, it doesn't resemble the naughty mind now. Still, it was made with Kevin in mind and wrapped. He squeezed his courage, stretched out his arm and pressed Kevin. Kevin takes it away from Carina with both hands. I hate the look of surprise.

"It's you, too!

Kevin, who said it would be tough from the front, is sure to be very popular with girls. Carina's might have been extra. I thought so. I couldn't stand it and ran away from it.

"Eh... ah, hey!

You can't hear the following voice, and you run towards the outside. Your bright red face, your moist eyes, will not stand out much today. Valentine's Day anyway. Because there were so many girls.

And I knew Kevin would catch up if he did. The opponent is an elite Knight of the Knight with Prince Wang. I was grabbed by the wrist before leaving the castle grounds. I am troubled with my disturbed breathing and high heartbeat.

"Don't run away."

Carina has extra difficulty breathing, being hugged from behind at the same time as her words. Kevin's undisturbed breathing begins with remorse.

"....."

I chewed my lips. Tears are overflowing on their own. Again, Kevin easily fills Carina's chest.

"Wait, no. Don't cry. ─ ─ Oh, what should I do now?"

I don't want to trouble you. I really wanted you to give it to me with a smile and accept it with a smile. It's pathetic of me not to be honest. Sofia was always cute and honest with Gilbert. I wonder if it would have been any different if I had become that friend I love. Tears run out one after the other, thoughts are not words.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think Carina would come to see me... another man."

"I don't know anybody else...!

"Yeah, that's right. I'm sorry ─ ─ and I'm so glad you gave it to me."

The sound of screaming in my ear is more gentle than ever. You can't help but expect a sweet voice.

"Why don't you join us for dinner?

I'm happy to hear a voice that seems a little unconfident. I put my hand on the arm I was holding and let it loosen, and wiped my tears with my free hand.

"I see. I'm hungry too!

Looking back, I'm sure she laughs with her red eyes. Kevin smiles back in peace with a reassuring face.

But Carina was happy. I felt that the red ears were expressing Kevin's feelings for Carina, which was not yet clear.
