The Abandoned Baroness is one of the Black Knight’s favorites - 213 Epilogue

It’s been a long time since you’ve been here.

I see.

Sofia looked up at the sky full of stars.Gilbert, who was next to him, smiled, keeping his hand on Sophia’s right.

From the rooftops of the Forster Marquis, you can see the night sky, which is incredibly beautiful as the heart of the noble city.Sofia found out about it a year ago.The words that were told at that time were not like confessions, but they taught Sofia that they were cherished.

Just like that day, Gilbert still uses magic to warm up around the bench.What’s different is that Spi is lying on Gilbert’s lap.

Soon, nightmares were gone.Sofia doesn’t know if it was because she was able to make room for herself after the reception, or because she was able to settle through conversation with Bianca.The doctor said that’s what the heart problem is.Sofia doesn’t want to know more about the cause.

“I knew it was beautiful.”

“Oh, if I stay here, I’ll forget the time.”

The two of them quietly gaze at the stars.

One of the blinking lights is Sofia, Gilbert.Which one is Carina, Kevin, Emilia, Mathias, Hans, Bianca – and Sofia’s mother and father.

If I could see you again, I would like to tell you that Sofia is happy now.

I’m sure my mother laughed kindly and my father hugged me a little lonely.Now I can only imagine it, but Sofia was convinced of it.

The night sky is gentle and calm enough to envelop everything.Deep enough to be swallowed at the same time.

“─ ─ Sofia, I…”

Gilbert shifted his gaze from the sky to Sophia.

Sofia looks at Gilbert, too.

Master Gilbert?

“I didn’t know I had this feeling until I met Sofia.”

On a rooftop with only a few lights, Gilbert’s eyes look like the deep ocean, not the blue that Sofia knows.I didn’t know the bottom, and I wanted to dive deeper. On the contrary, I felt like being sucked in by will.

What’s hidden in the bottom is definite heat.

“I love you. I will love Sofia more than anyone else in the future.”

Gilbert, who seemed to have tried to get up, remembered that Spy was on his lap and stopped.Instead, she gently lifted Sophia’s right hand with both hands and dropped her mouth on her back.

“So will you still give me the right to protect Sofia?”

Blood flows from where it is touched.Running around is a sweet poison.Sophia has been filling her heart with the poison ever since she met Gilbert.

“… that’s always been Gilbert’s.”

Once I get it, I can’t help thinking about losing it.Sophia knows that one day she will definitely come and say goodbye.Nevertheless, I sincerely hoped that it would never come.

Memories that make it painful to remember never disappear.As long as you’re still alive, you can’t stop hoping and loving.

“Whether I’m gone or Miss Gilbert is gone… forever I belong to Miss Gilbert”

So I want you to stay with me.The words that tried to continue were sucked into Gilbert’s lips.Gilbert certainly nodded to Sofia’s words as he gently touched and repeated his words away.

“Everything about me belongs to Sofia.”

In a blurred vision, the stars must have flowed in the night sky.
