101 The Lady and the Black Knight Overlay Days 3

"─ ─ After all, the imperial castle is huge."

Sophia, who got off the carriage of the Marquis of Forster in Gilbert's escort, sighed as she saw the large castle in front of her.

The carriage was installed today at the entrance to a private royal building in the back of the castle, even in the vast grounds of the castle. You don't get in from here when they call you at a night club.

I see. Sophia won't get used to it, will she?

"I'm nervous, but I'm looking forward to it today."

Sofia stretched out and smiled softly.

What Sofia is called today was a personal tea party with Princess Emilia, the king's princess. Gilbert says hello at first, but then Mathias calls. But Sofia wasn't too anxious, even though she knew it was Emilia.

"Good. ─ ─ Call me right away if you need anything."

"Fufu, Miss Gilbert. I'll just have tea with Her Royal Highness. Nothing, I'm sure."

"Still, it is."

Gilbert gently stroked his head just once to keep Sofia's well-prepared hair from breaking. Sofia laughs lightly and lays her hands on the hand she is offered. The guards looked at the two of them and opened the door in a correct position.

It was a beautiful greenhouse. Emilia seems to be choosing and caring for flowers herself, with various flowers blooming in gentle light.

I suppose she was waiting to hear the arrival of Sofia and Emilia, who was sitting earlier, stood up and smiled.

"Welcome, Sofia."

"Your Highness, thank you for inviting me today."

Sophia, who walked a few steps away, thanked Gilbert as if she were a lady. He raised his face and accidentally fell in love with Emilia in front of him.

The dress is bright blue. Unlike evening clubs, exposure is suppressed and organized elegantly. It is also beautiful that the lace dyed in the same color is peeking from the cuffs and hem in a modest way. And above all, it has clear white skin and gorgeous beauty that is unbeatable to the costume.

"I'm sorry I invited you suddenly. Sofia, I've always wanted to talk to you. You don't have to be so tough, come here."

Emilia gracefully pointed to her opposite seat with her right hand. Sofia walked further, as she was told, and sat on the chair that the maid had pulled. Gilbert sits next to me.

"Your dress today is like a fairy. I thought the greenhouse flowers changed their appearance and came to see me!

"That's an unbearable word for me...."

Sofia dyed her cheeks aggressively. Emilia's words are sweet. I'm going to get drunk by accident.

Today Sofia was wearing the pink dress Gilbert had chosen the other day. As soon as this tea party was decided, Gilbert and I rushed the production. The skirt is softly stacked with fairy permeable material.

"Fufu, that's not true. Yes, this tea is my favorite. Enjoy."

When the maid placed the teacup in front of her, the scent of the flowers became stronger. Sofia exhaled softly to relieve the smell.

Thank you, Your Highness.

"No, Emilia, I want you to call me."

"Well, then. Dear Emilia...?

When Sofia calls out her name, Emilia shows a gorgeous smile like a broken flower. Sofia leaned slightly ashamed.

"─ ─ Oh, Marquis. Are you still here?

Emilia looks at Gilbert as if she had just noticed and looks surprised. Gilbert sighed deeply and put a bitter smile on his face.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry to bother you. Don't wrap my wife around too much."

"Master Gilbert, what are you...?"

Sofia looked at Gilbert sitting next to her in a hurry, ashamed of her tone. Gilbert is tied to his mouth. Now Sofia realizes that it's not a mood accident but a recalcitrant accident.

"Oh, it's the Marquis cat. There's no way I can help."

If that's the case, that's fine.

"Fufu. I can't believe the Marquis is so easy to understand when it comes to Sofia."

It was Sofia who finally blushed Emilia's face. Sofia doesn't know Gilbert very well at work. If it is as inorganic as it was when we first met in that forest, it may indeed look unusual, as Emilia said.

"Your Highness, don't be too shy."

"─ ─ You must be called by His Highness. It's about time. It's okay, it's safe here. Until you get back, I'll let Sofia talk to you slowly."

Suddenly changing the conversation, Gilbert swallowed the words to Emilia, who leaned her head. Remove the pocket watch from your chest and open it. I'm sure time is running out, Gilbert wrinkled slightly between his eyebrows.

"Sofia, I'm going to your Highness ─ ─"

"I'll call you as soon as I can."

Gilbert relaxed his expression reassuringly when he told Sofia to repeat what Gilbert said when he got off the carriage.

"Oh, I'm coming."

Gilbert gently rolled up Sofia's hair in half up and dropped her mouth to touch it. Regardless of Emilia's surprisingly rounded eyes, Gilbert stood up.

"Your Highness, excuse me. ─ ─ That's right, I'm obsessed with cats, so don't give me too much attention."

Sofia brightens her face to the words Gilbert said with a serious expression. Emilia laughed funny.

"Yeah, that's right. Let's just say the Marquis looks like that."

Gilbert left the greenhouse in gratitude. The remaining Sofia, feeling uncomfortable, turns to Emilia in front of her.
