"Sophia, you're in trouble."
Emilia smiles at Sofia. The attitude has not changed at all. Sophia unfortunately lowered her eyebrows as she had a hard time on her face.
"I was also worried about Emilia-sama. But it's okay now."
It's the same greenhouse that Emilia used to invite to a tea party. The flowers are different now, but as always, they have a very gorgeous and bright atmosphere.
"Oh, no. It's been so hard, I can't help it."
Emilia glimpsed behind Sofia. There is a very unusual sight of Gilbert sitting opposite Mathias drinking tea. As Sofia moved her neck small and gazed, Gilbert noticed a gaze from Emilia, and then shifted her gaze sideways. Matthias smiled uncomfortably.
"-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because I can't move until after something happens and the girls get involved."
"Dear Emilia-sama... I'm grateful. If Master Gilbert hadn't come to my rescue, I'd be ─ ─"
"The Marquis is also the Marquis. I thought you were protecting me."
Emilia says she feels good. Gilbert didn't deserve a tea party, and stood up with a loud noise. Gilbert folds his hips beautifully as he stretches his back.
"I'm sorry. It is my own immorality. ─ ─ Without Sofia's permission, I thought I couldn't be on my side anymore."
"Oh no...."
Sofia blushed at Gilbert's words.
"Don't say that, Master Gilbert! I've been on my side forever...."
"Hey, Your Highness?
I'm sure Emilia will look Mathias in the eye. Mathias nodded and exhaled.
"Miss Sofia, I got involved this time, but there's no more. I want you to believe me."
Mathias stands up and looks straight at Sofia.
That's right!
Sofia shook her neck to the side in a hurry, too afraid. Emilia nods to her satisfaction.
"... Sofia's surprised, so sit down both of you. Hey, Sofia. Don't worry, I've been working on this case to keep it from spreading. Only a limited number of people in the royal castle know about it. ─ ─ Well, to be more specific, apart from me, Your Highness, and Your Majesty, only the Knights of the Knights 2nd Platoon knows."
Knights of the Guard 2nd Platoon is Gilbert's platoon. If only the royal family and they knew, it would certainly not spread.
If a woman of her age is abducted, it is a scandal in the social world. I'm sorry if I didn't have anything. This time Sofia was safe, and because Gilbert was able to learn about it through an investigation of his abilities, and because everyone in the Marquis believed in it, Sofia was able to return to the Marquis of Forster.
"So go back to your social circle with confidence. No one doubts that you haven't been in the social world for a while, and that the Marquis has been busy with his work."
"Thank you for your concern, Emilia."
Sofia finally said with a nervous smile. Looking at it, Matthias and Gilbert lowered their hips reassuringly.
Emilia gracefully drank a sip of tea and, with a glossy smile, presented Sofia with the lace envelope at hand.
Well, I'll give you this.
"What is this?
Sofia aggressively accepts and looks seriously at the envelope. It is fine paper with royal marks on it.
"It's an invitation to a night club. Next week's flower viewing banquet. ─ ─ It's a corner. Join the Marquis. Isn't that nice, Your Highness?
"Of course. I'll give Gilbert the day off so I can escort Miss Sofia."
The flower viewing banquet is a banquet that celebrates the visit of spring. The cherry blossoms in the garden of the royal castle are lighted up and said to be very beautiful. Sophia had only heard of it.
Looking at Gilbert with anticipation, Gilbert returns soft gaze to Sofia.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will gladly rest. Sofia, let's go together for the day."
Is this a reward for Sofia, who has endured so much? Or should I make it up to you? Either way, I was very happy.
"─ ─ Yes, I'm looking forward to it"
And today, after preparing for the evening party, Sofia came to the royal castle in Gilbert's escort.
Sofia is wearing a pink dress made of glossy silk fabric. The skirt features embroidered cherry blossoms with white thread that looks like a gradient from the hem. In addition, it was stitched in such a way that small jewels were discreetly scattered. It's an adult design that makes your back look a little bold, but when combined with a brazenly exposed chest, there's an elegant danger.
Gilbert supported Sofia's hips by turning his arms around his back as if he were trying to hide the exposure at all.
"─ ─ Should I have dressed differently?"
Sofia leaned her neck to Gilbert, whispering.
"I knew it... this dress didn't suit you?
The dress was chosen from the standpoint of Carina and the maid. I was worried about the exposure of my back, but it was decided by the two of us that it was okay because it was a night club. Gilbert also saw the design drawings and seemed convinced.
"No, it looks good. This is a good outfit for today's evening party. But...."
……
"The back of the design painting was hidden. ─ ─ It's a little annoying to show other men beautiful sophia skin."
Sofia dyed her cheeks in Gilbert's words. Your eyes are moistened with unexpected shame. However, Sofia also glanced straight at Gilbert's blue eyes and said back.
"Even Master Gilbert... I'm glad we're all watching!
Today Gilbert matches Sofia's outfit with a blue grey spring-coloured evening dress and a pink chief. Sofia's ornaments and Gilbert's brooch are made from the same Champagne Garnet stone.
Gilbert's unusual bright-colored outfits, with their appearance, were the focus of the girls' attention.
Gilbert was distanced from her ability to read more, however beautiful, but remembers Emilia saying that after marrying Sofia, she was popular with the ladies for viewing.
"Everyone will be watching Sofia. ─ ─ Please, stay close."
"Yes, I'm on your side."
Sofia nodded and stepped into the hall where the garden of the royal castle could be seen.
Outside the window, cherry blossoms bloom beautifully, illuminated by simple magic lights. Many of the aristocrats who participated were blinded by the scenery.
"Let's sneak out later."
Gilbert whispers in Sofia's ear.
"But isn't it cold?
"─ ─ What kind of magic is this without using it at a time like this?"
Sofia opened her eyes and glanced at Gilbert. Among its blue eyes is an unusual playful color.
"That's right..."
Sophia also smiled back and looked out the window. I like Gilbert, who uses magic for gentle reasons, but Sofia.
The cherry blossoms attracted a lot of attention while causing the clams and their petals to dance to the wind.
