"Really? Sofia has become quite a wife."

"Really?... Thank you, Carina."

In a few days, the people staying at the mansion will arrive.Even though I was nervous about that, I thought Bianca was among them, but Sofia couldn't get over it.

I remember the last conversation I had with Bianca.Bianca's face when she told Sofia she shouldn't have been there from the beginning seemed to have broken something that she was holding on to.

I didn't want to end up with that.

Bianca is still looking down at Sofia with cold eyes in her dreams.If that's what was shaped in Sofia, it's funny to keep tied up.Above all, it is bad for Bianca, who will be working hard in a new place.

"Still, I'm so impressed. Isn't that cousin's kid tormenting you?I don't want to see you for the rest of my life.I'd hate it if I didn't tell you Sofia was good. "

Carina swelled her cheeks and shouted an unintentional voice.

Sofia smiled unintentionally at the tone.

"If it's Carina already.... but I also think something may have changed about my uncles.If so, I want to make sure. "

Sofia slightly approached the cosmos flower, which the gardener cares for and blooms in the flowerbed.The colorful cosmos that shines in the sun seems to be caring more and more.When I crouched down a little and touched it with my fingertips, the yellow petal swayed small.

Carina approached with a little haste and placed her umbrella on Sofia.The purposefully dropped sigh will be for Sofia to hear.

"I can't help it. If anything happens, you must tell me!It's really nice of you. "

"That's not true. I'm not a good person..."

For Bianca, it would be an unwanted call.If you're nice, don't bother calling.

It wasn't really impossible to say that Bianca and Alberto disliked each other.Gilbert's face, which I asked Sofia about, said it was probably unintentional.If Sofia cried that she didn't want to see Bianca or Alberto, it would be bad for Count Ruglan, but Gilbert would have done something about it.

"Sofia...."

But that's no good.

Even if we can do something about it now, we will always deal with hostile opponents in addition to socializing as Marquis Forster from now on.We can't keep running away from everything.The tutor said it was important to build as friendly a relationship as possible and not to be underestimated by a hostile partner.

"Because I am Gilbert's wife.Yes, Carina. "

That's what I'm talking about.

Carina nodded with a smile. Sofia was relieved by the affirmation and raised her face.

The garden, where the autumn flowers bloom, was beautifully arranged for use as a venue for the reception.Among them, this cosmos is particularly gorgeous, as it is planted on all the flowerbeds within sight of the hall.

Like these flowers, Sofia must also bloom strongly and beautifully.

Freshly prepared, Sofia decided to return to her room and memorize the guest roster.Handed over by Hans about a week ago, it contained the family name, a brief sketch, and an easy-to-understand description of each job and hobby.If you remember, you'll be relieved if anything happens.

Carina brews tea and gently puts it on her desk.Sofia thanked him and chased the letter of the roster.

"Oh, is this...?"

There was a red ink symbol on it that drew attention.

This roster belongs to the Folster family, so there should be no political opponents.If you look closely at what it says, the name that was there is a girl a little older than Sofia.

─ ─ Lilia Gerry?

Lilia Gerry, the daughter of the previous lord of the House of the Viscount Gerry, who now handed over the title to her son-in-law and became the Viscount.I could predict that even though I was still young, my husband and wife would have either had problems with their parents or had misfortunes.

"Is that the Duke of Jerry?"

Carina murmured when she heard Sofia murmuring.

"Yes, Carina, do you know anything?"

Carina roared as she tried to remember something.

"Hmm... yeah, I just think he's coming."

"Speaking of which...."

In retrospect, I've heard that the Counts of Ruglan and Jeré are staying at the Marquis de Forster.I completely forgot about Bianca.I wonder if I left a mark on it for my stay.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'll ask Hans later."

Sophia once forgot the problem and scrolled the roster.
