138 Lady Black Knight's Treasure 5

A messenger from Aiolia arrived early two days later at the apartment where Gilbert and the others were staying.

"It's been a long time, Miss Sofia!

"... Kevin!?

Sofia was surprised by the man who waved his hand with a smile on his face as he entered the room. Gilbert and Conrad were discussing a little behind Sofia, and their faces were hardened towards the door.

"I'm here, too. Kevin, don't go that far."

"Sorry, sorry. I heard you were safe, but I was worried."

Kevin lowered his eyebrows. The man who came in late sighed with the door locked. Sofia glanced at the man she had not seen in a long time. Since Gilbert and Sofia's wedding party.

"Mr. Tobias! It's been a long time. Well... good work."

"Oh, Miss Sofia. It's been a long time. I'm sorry I got involved this time."

"Ah, no. I'm sorry for the inconvenience I caused."

Sophia also returns Tobias's polite greetings and thanks. While we were talking, Gilbert put soundproofing magic into the room. Now you can't hear the noise outside.

"Kevin and Tobias... what happened to the paperwork?"

"Of course I'll bring it. Yes, this way."

Kevin took out a fine metal cylinder. With a royal crest of silver, it shines brightly with the light that comes in through the window.

"On behalf of Gilbert, let us all act as messengers. She said she doesn't mind if it's what I'm sending her earlier."

"... okay. Does Your Majesty intend to take this opportunity to see His Majesty and I fit?"

Sophia was surprised to hear that an older aristocrat was coming. But in retrospect, Gilbert is the Marquis and one of the kings of Mathias, the Crown Prince. Kevin and Tobias are also excellent knights in the 2nd Platoon. Sofia swallowed her words and listened to the continuation of the story.

"I'm sorry I got into trouble in Japan. I apologize to both of you."

Conrad says to Kevin and Tobias. Kevin hastily retreated a few steps after realizing the position.

Is His Highness the First Prince here?

"Oh, yeah. I'm sorry to bother you this time, but thank you very much."

"Of course!

Thank you very much, Your Highness.

Kevin and Tobias nodded. Gilbert also relieved his expression a little.

Sofia had Tobias tie her hair. When I heard the story, it seemed that she had a sister who was taking care of her at home. Finish your hair set and finish your makeup with the cosmetics Kevin gave you from Carina. Because Sofia was in trouble, Carina taught me simple makeup. Finally, they changed into the dress they brought and put on their matching shoes.

The dress prepared is silver, shiny white and indigo. It is designed to be worn by one person by fastening the front with a pearl button and tightening the hips with a large ribbon of chiffon. The chiffon was deep blue and Tobias tied it clean and fluffy. It's simple to make, but elegant and grown-up.

"─ ─ Yeah. Oh, is this the Marquis de Forster?"

Conrad fell in love with Sofia for a moment and laughed. Sofia watches him. Here, the concert was also dressed in simple clothes, but when I wrapped myself in royal costumes, I was still overwhelmed by the aura that I was born with. Sofia smiles to hide her slightly convulsed cheeks.

Your Highness looks good on you, too.

"Sofia, are you ready?

"Yes, thank you for waiting, Master Gilbert."

As he entered the room, Gilbert was dressed in a white indigo suit with Sofia. The accessory is deep blue and the embroidered thread of the decoration is silver. The sword inserted into the waist is carefully polished and the decoration carved into the sheath shines. Aware of going to the royal castle as a messenger of the country, the refreshing outfit is elegant and beautiful. As Sofia stayed awake from her appearance, Gilbert smiled satisfactorily and stroked her hair loosely to avoid breaking it.

"Sofia is still beautiful."

Gilbert caresses as if he loves the dressed Sofia. Kevin and Tobias, dressed in a matching uniform, looked at each other with a bitter smile.

"Ah... thank you."

"Stay with me today. I really don't want to go with Lord Helmut ─ ─"

"It's okay, Mr. Gilbert. Stay by my side and I'll be stronger than anyone else."

It wasn't strong, it was genuine. Sophia and I didn't spend our days waiting for Gilbert in vain. I didn't fail to train my knowledge and manners to support you. It is a testament to Sofia's readiness to walk with Gilbert. Efforts lead to confidence and courage.

"Thank you, Sofia. ─ ─ I believe in you too."

Gilbert took his hand off Sofia's hair and corrected his posture. The apartment is filled with gorgeous clothes that don't resemble the scene and looks fairly narrow.

"Let's go. Let's put an end to this nonsense."

Gilbert said to Kevin and Tobias with a firm voice, and they both tightened their expressions.

There was a carriage parked behind the apartment. The official carriage owned by the royal castle of the Kingdom of Ioria is a six-person carriage that values robustness and safety over speed. Soldiers were also waiting to escort him, saluting Gilbert's appearance.

The five men boarded the carriage and hurried to the royal castle of Elatos.
