137 Lady Black Knight's Treasure 4

Helmut's office seemed really empty. It's locked, but it's not a big deal for Gilbert. Make sure there are no traps, then use the wires to unlock the lock. If you can see through the inside, it is not difficult to unlock. I went inside and immediately re-locked it from the inside.

─ ─ What a waste of luxury.

The interior is decorated with elaborate gold workmanship, and I doubt it will settle down. What does it mean to have a bed even though it is an office? Strangely enough, Gilbert searches for the object. When I opened some desk drawers and moved to the chest, I found everything I could see. Pack them into your pockets while being careful not to touch them directly.

"Are you willing to hide it... well, I've got the evidence."

Gilbert left the room as carefully as possible to avoid leaving any traces of him there.

Welcome back, Mr. Gilbert.

Sofia dropped off a book she was reading and welcomed Gilbert back to her apartment with a smile. I was worried when I heard Gilbert was infiltrating the castle of Elatos alone, but I remembered that my anxiety would mean that I didn't trust Gilbert. Sofia keeps Gilbert's jacket and hangs it on the hanger.

"Hi, Sofia. Lord Conrad, I'm back now."

Welcome back, Jill.

Konrad waved his hand with a magic tool for communication. Conrad often used the magic equipment. When Sofia asked him, he said he was Mathias or King Aiolia. I haven't touched on the subject since I was afraid.

"Who are you talking to?

"Your Highness. Do you have any reports?

"Let me use it a little."

Gilbert gets dressed one after the other as he talks. Along the way, Sofia stopped helping and strayed.

"─ ─ Yes. I'm sorry I always borrowed it."

No, I don't mind.

After changing, Gilbert receives the magic equipment and lowers his hips to an empty sofa. Sofia stared at her as she continued to write Sarasara.

"What happened?

"I have the evidence. You can always move."

Gilbert raised his mouth without stopping. Conrad opened his eyes to surprise.

"Already? It's only been a day..."

"Lord Helmut has been run away by his favorite daughter and has taken her to her room."

Gilbert glanced at Sofia. My shoulders jumped suddenly.

"─ ─ You stole my treasure on your own, so I'll pay you for it."

Conrad smiled bitterly. In Sofia, Gilbert's blue eyes look like ice. I shouted unexpectedly.

"Gi... Gilbert?

"Sofia, what's wrong?

At the next moment, Gilbert's eyes returned to the soft, gentle color of Sofia's liking. Did you notice Sofia's anxiety? Gilbert stood up and walked towards Sofia, stroking her head. Sofia relieves herself and exhales her filled breath.

"No, nothing."

Sofia laughed slowly at Gilbert's sweet manners. Confirming that, Gilbert turns back to the concert.

"I have reported to His Highness Mathias. The day after tomorrow, the messenger of Ioria will deliver the peace document to the royal castle."

Quick.

"I've been moving since last night. I will exercise my right to negotiate on behalf of Aiolia. Your Highness, please join me ─ ─"

Gilbert's words were blocked by a concert with one hand raised.

"No, I'd rather ask. I'm not strong. A weak royal family that cannot even regain the throne of the Crown Prince on its own. ─ ─ But I'm confident that I care about this country. I swear not to cause any trouble to your country in the future. So please... I need your help with Elatos's future."

Conrad lowers his head. Gilbert looked at it with a quiet expression. Sofia can only keep an eye on things.

"If you can promise me that you will not do anything to me in the future, I will recommend His Highness to the next king."

"Oh, I promise. Marquis Forster, we will never hurt anything dear to you again. The country, the people, everything."

Gilbert's eyes were full of power. Gilbert nods small.

"I believe you. The same is true of His Majesty's need to be king."

Conrad reached out to Gilbert for a handshake. Gilbert shakes hands in response.

"- Sofia. The day after tomorrow, we will settle. I'm worried about leaving one here. I'll protect you, so... will you come with me?"

Gilbert asks Sofia to let go of the handshake. Sofia smiles back at anxious Gilbert. There was no need to worry about that now.

Compared to the days when I believed in Gilbert alone when I was kidnapped, I feel much more at ease now. I understand that it is dangerous, but not being alone gives me so much power.

"Yes, of course. Please let me go with you both."

Sofia grabbed Gilbert's right hand with both hands. I want to tell her that it is not weak. Gilbert wrapped her hand around Sofia and dropped her lips just touching her cheeks.
