Dinner parties were imaginary, but Sofia seemed to have a high profile when it wasn't originally social.Sofia was saddened by how spoiled she used to be while carrying one of the main fish dishes to her mouth.Incidentally, I don't remember the name of a long dish at all.
Marcel and Gilbert have been talking about territorial management for a long time.Gilbert seems to be hammering and rating mainly what Marcel said.Sometimes Marcel and Gilbert aren't much the same age, and the conversation seems to be playing.
Meanwhile, Beatrice is silently eating because she doesn't like conversations in these places, or because she doesn't have a lot of words.
Lilia is eating slower than anyone else.I can see that she is staring at Sofia with flickers when she seems uncomfortable.
As the inviting side, Sofia must entertain these two.After being confused about what to do, Sofia decided to talk to Lilia, feeling that it was part of her social life.I remember the attention given by Hans and Gilbert, but as the owner, I can't just leave him alone.
"─ ─ Master Lilia, is our meal right for you?"
Speaking in plain language, Lilia shuddered her shoulders as if she were scared for some reason.Sofia leans her neck inside, but Lilia puts a smile on her face to show that nothing is wrong.
"Yes, thank you. It tastes great."
"The cooks will be delighted to hear that from our customers."
That's what Sofia said and smiled.
I try to connect conversations, but Sofia still doesn't have that kind of social skills.As a result, the conversation was repeated like a mannerbook role model.
As the conversation continued, Lilia turned serious.
"Where did your wife meet the Marquis?"
Marcel, who seemed to have been serious about the conversation with Gilbert until then, turned to Lilia.There are no feelings of love in my eyes.On the contrary, the harsh colors were glittering and Sofia blurred.
Lilia told me about Sofia and Gilbert.When I try to talk about it, I have to talk about the Baron Lannish.
"Well, that's...."
I can't believe they picked me up in the woods when I lost my way.Sofia lowered her eyebrows slightly in trouble.
And I figured out how to talk.Maybe Sofia can't tell all the lies.In that case, you can hide where you can't talk and tell the truth to the extent that there is no problem.
"I'd like to introduce you to His Royal Highness Prince Wang ─ ─"
"Yes, Your Highness?"
Lilia seemed surprised at the unexpected appearance of a third party.
Normally, Mathias, the Crown Prince, does not mediate between men and women.Gilbert and Mathias are famous for being friends with each other, but Sofia is the daughter of a weak aristocrat who can now be said to be a criminal.Sofia herself thinks that if Mathias introduces Gilbert, there will be someone more worthy.
"Yes, Your Highness is very kind.After introducing me, Gilbert, while we were talking together, I was really attracted... "
It's kind of embarrassing. Talking to others again is so bad for your heart.The fever on his face is due to his love for Gilbert, who is not cold yet.
Yeah, that's right.
Lilia diverts her gaze diagonally.
Sofia no longer knows how to finish the story.What should I say if I'm attracted to it?
The opponent is Lilia, who is told to be vigilant.I want to tell you that there is no gap between Gilbert and me.I tend to lean down to hide my dyed cheeks.This is not a very visible face as a lady.
"Yes... that's why ─ ─"
"I fell in love with Sofia.Sofia was thinking about her position and was trying to avoid it.Well, I wasn't satisfied.─ ─ You don't need any more reason. "
Sofia raised her face.The ear-friendly bass is Gilbert's voice.
Gilbert, who was supposed to be talking to Marcel, is now watching Sofia closely.My eyes are tangled. In a moment, Gilbert's indigo eyes were gently filled.
"─ ─ Dear Gilbert......"
Gilbert's mouth rose loosely as he murmured.More than anything else, the expression is eloquently saying that she loves Sofia.
Beatrice, who hadn't said a word before, smiled funny.
"Oh, you showed me something unusual."
"Count Ruglan...."
The sound is soaked in a blurry color.Sofia couldn't stand it and spoke up aggressively.But Beatrice has a spare look like nothing.
"Beatrice is fine, ma'am.Ha, ha, you're not gonna live long. "
"Master Beatrice, I'm embarrassed... please stop..."
As Sophia turned increasingly red, Beatrice finally nodded and laughed.
Until then, Lilia, who was silent, proceeded with her meal at a rate that seemed like a lie, finishing her meal the first of the three women and pulling her to her room.
