133 Black Knight reunites with Lady 7

The outside of the window was illuminated by several magic lights, and there seemed to be no place to hide inside the Mansion's grounds. Gilbert escapes the chase of his pursuers and leaves the garden, holding on to Sofia without strength. Retreating the guards at the back gate with daggers and magic, he walked the shortest possible distance through the wide road of the noble city and hid himself in the back road of the commercial district.

Glamorous commercial districts are often less popular and have smaller pubs when entering the back roads. Let's get out of the woods nearby. Gilbert lowered Sofia once and took off his overly glamorous blue coat. Flip over to hide the decor and hang it over Sofia's cold shoulders. Sofia was trembling small from the cold or from fear.

"Hold on a little longer. I'm sorry."

Gilbert took off the mask of himself and Sofia and pushed it into his pocket without a break. Now gently hug Sofia to reassure her a little. I wanted to warm up my cold body as soon as possible.

"Dear Gilbert...."

Sophia called Gilbert's name with a faint voice that was about to fall into darkness. Gilbert put his strength into the arms he held and ran through the night without responding.

Gilbert finally stopped in a small forest on the edge of the commercial district. If you come this far, there will be no chasers. Have Sofia sit down against the trunk of the tree. Sophia, finally relieved by her body on the ground, was nailed to Gilbert, who bent right in front of her.

"─ ─ Sofia, it's getting late."

Silver hair that does not lose its sparkle in the darkness of the night and sincere eyes that look at Sofia. It's dark, and I can't help but understand the usual indigo color. Still, that straight face, the familiar feeling of the arm, and the big body belonged to Gilbert, who couldn't help scorching.

"Gi... Lubert, my dear?

Sofia didn't hesitate to touch Gilbert's cheeks with her slowly lifted right hand. The tingling sensation gave Sofia a little peace of mind.

"I'm glad. It's not a dream... is it?

Slightly raise your mouth angle. My face was strong and I couldn't laugh well. Gilbert lays his hands on Sofia's hands touching her cheeks and supports her. And I closed my eyes so that I could bear something. Sofia has a bitter look on her chest.

"It's not a dream. Is it a dream or something? I'm really... glad you're okay. Sophia, I'm sorry I made you feel bad."

"No... I'm sorry, Mr. Gilbert. I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

"No, Sofia didn't do anything ─ ─"

"Wow... I have to see you both, Gilbert..."

Tears overflowed. Your carefree body is heavy, and you won't be able to touch Gilbert with your right hand unless you hold it down. There was only one connection that stopped Sofia today, and I didn't want her to let go. I want to touch Gilbert for a little longer now.

"That's why I...."

The words that tried to continue were hindered by a sudden embrace. Gilbert's chest supports her body as she pulls her arms forward. Gilbert held Sofia with his arms firmly around his back, even though his body was supposed to be heavy without strength.

"No. Whatever happens to you... whatever anyone tells you, stay with me. Life without feeling Sofia is completely meaningless."

Gilbert has a strong tone to say. Sofia's head rests on Gilbert's shoulder, and she can't see her face. However, the strong arms, the warmth that you certainly feel, and the words that accept Sofia seemed to melt the frozen heart like the spring sun. The overflowing tears cool down into the air, making Gilbert's shirt look cold.

"In my case... maybe I don't deserve Mr Gilbert's side..."

"That's not true. If you don't stay, I'll be in trouble. Or does this make you think you don't want to be on my side anymore...?

Gilbert, who clearly shakes his head and denies it, asks Sofia in a weak voice. Sofia shook her head in a hurry.

"I thought it might not be appropriate. ─ ─ But no matter what happens... as long as I'm not on Miss Gilbert's side...!

He gripped Gilbert's clothes loosely with his weak hands. I wanted to lose a little clearance. Now I think the clothing fabric is even in the way. From the body that touches you, you hear a beating sound that you don't know either.

"─ ─...... thank you"

Gilbert whispered with Sofia's beloved sweet and gentle voice. It warms your ears and at the same time warms your heart. Tears stopped little by little.

"I rent an apartment right there. I want to go back and take that collar off."

"Thank you."

Whether you disarm or destroy magic tools, you need expert skills. It is not meant to be a hassle, but it would be extra annoying if it stays like this. Sofia thanked honestly.

"If you don't take it off quickly, I won't let Sofia hold me."

Gilbert laughed bitterly while holding Sofia. Sofia exhales relieved in her everyday voice. The thread of tension loosened, leaving Gilbert with his body.

"You should rest a little. There's nothing we can do until morning."

Even if Gilbert told me so, Sofia wasn't going to sleep. But regular shaking was comfortable enough to soften Sofia, and when I realized it, I was completely asleep.
