The Abandoned Baroness Is One of the Black Knight’s Favorites Chapter 7

 

The daughter is picked up by the black knight 7

Sophia was sitting in the carriage with her eyes closed. Though there were a lot of things to think about,  her thoughts were not well organized. Sophia didn't know what was going to happen to her. It was only yesterday that she was expelled from her house, but now it felt as if it had happened a long time ago. The moment she squeezed the hem of the dress tightly with both hands, the carriage shook and Sophia opened her closed eyes.

"Sir Knight?"(Sophia)

A bright light shone through the open door, and Sophia immediately squinted. Gilbert's silver hair was shining in the bright sunlight. Sitting opposite Sophia, Gilbert laid Sophia's trunk and shoes on the carriage floor.

 "I made you wait. ── Let's go."(Gilbert)

 With brief instructions, the carriage started moving immediately. Gilbert seemed to be observing Sophia with his hands folded on his lap. Sophia couldn't stand being seen in her  miserable condition and started looking down again. The carriage continued to move, carrying the two in silence. After a while, Sophia courageously opened her mouth.

 "Ah. Could you return my shoes?"(Sophia)

 Sophia earnestly requested. It's impossible to be outdoors without shoes. It was also embarrassing to expose my injured leg to others. However, Gilbert shook his head clearly from side to side without moving one eyebrow.

 "We'll arrive soon. You won't need shoes on your feet."(Gilbert)

 Sophia blinked at Gilbert's words. She didn't know what  to say, and  tilted her head inwardly. She tried to continue but her words were hindered by Gilbert's gaze. Seen from the front, Gilbert's eyes were a clear and beautiful indigo, thought Sophia calmly even though she felt out of place.

 "The blisters on your feet are terrible. Keep quiet."(Gilbert)

 Immediately distracted, his gaze was directed at Sophia's shoes on the carriage floor. Sophia also turned to her shoes and noticed that her heels had dry blood on them. 

"I'm sorry."(Sophia)

"Why apologize?"(Gilbert)

 "I showed you something unsightly."(Sophia)

" "── No, it doesn't matter"(Gilbert)

For the first time, Sophia realized that Gilbert was caring. The fear of having a sword pointed at her for the first time and the anxiety regarding the future have not disappeared, but she was a little relieved that he was not a bad person.

 When I was a little nervous, I was worried whether the dirt on my shoes could be washed away. This was the only pair of shoes I had brought with me. Sophia sighed a little, which went unnoticed by Gilbert.

 "We have arrived." (Gilbert)

As Gilbert said,  We had arrived at our destination in no time. If she were to believe the conversation between Matthias and Gilbert, she may have been brought to the townhouse of Marquis Forster. The carriage door was opened from the outside, and in front of Sophia was a noble mansion with a more elegance than she had expected.

 It's a three-story building that looks like a townhouse, and it's an old building with beautiful outer walls. The flowers in the garden were also carefully maintained. Sophia was amazed at the sight.

 "Mr. Gilbert, I just received a message from the royal castle that you will be returning, but was there any urgent matter?"(Hans)

 A man in a butler's suit approached the carriage a few steps from the front door in a hurry, looked into the carriage, noticed Sophia's existence, and stopped moving. An elderly man with a soft atmosphere.

 "... Gilbert-sama?" (Hans)

"Hans, I'm back now. Send this to my room."

 Gilbert handed Sophia's trunk and shoes from the carriage to Hans. Hans received it reflexively and moved the trunk sideways to avoid the front of the carriage. Every one of his actions was too different from the baron's servant who, along with her uncle, had treated Sophia like a nuisance Sophia felt that she had come to a ridiculous place.

  "Um, I'm still ..!?"(Sophia)

 Sophia's words, which she tried to continue , were swallowed by Gilbert who was holding her  in his arms. When she was getting off the carriage, she shook a lot and grabbed Gilbert's black knight's clothes as if he were clinging to him.

 Once inside the mansion, the servants' eyes were on Sophia and Gilbert. The maid and servant who would had been working were surprised to see Gilbert holding Sophia. Gilbert didn't mind anything. He passed through the saloon and began to climb the stairs leisurely.

 "Ah, um.  I can walk! I can walk ....."(Sophia)

 "Don't make me say it over and over." (Gilbert)

Sophia swallowed her words. Perhaps satisfied with the silent Sophia, Gilbert took Sophia to the room with the finest doors on the second floor. Gilbert dexterously opened the door while holding Sophia.

 It was the private room of the head of the Marquis family, and the interior was unified with deep blue carpets and cloths and monotone furniture. Sophia's cheeks blushed, as she  saw Gilbert's silhouette in a simple room with not a lot of furniture. Gilbert finally released Sophia at the entrance of his private bathroom, which was just past the room.
