Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps approaching from behind, Ortansia suddenly came to her senses.
She turned around to see what was going on and was taken aback.

Gerard, looking even sterner than usual, was approaching her at a brisk pace.

In the blink of an eye, Gérard was right in front of her, standing one step in front of her and looking down at her.

 

His extremely Cold gaze felt as if he was blaming her, and Ortansia couldn't help but gasp.

 

“Oh, Onii-sama”

 

“You were gone, and your chambermaid was half in a frenzy.”

 

“Ah.”

 

Only then did Ortansia realize that she had left the room without leaving a note.

 

“Um… could you let Pamela know that I'm okay?”

 

When she stopped a gardener passing by and requested him, Gérard, unusually, intervened…

 

“When you're done, I'll take you back to your room.
Tell the maid to stay in her room.”

 

“Yes, sir.”

The gardener, perhaps nervous about receiving the order directly from Gérard, moved awkwardly away.
Once the gardener was out of sight, silence reigned over the place.

It was a peaceful space with only the occasional sound of the wind shaking the grass and flowers, and the sounds of birds and insects.

Gerard was silent.

 He just stayed close to Ortansia, who was staring intently at the Shangri-La flowers.

 

“I can't… sleep.”

 

Ortansia found herself saying this to him.

 

“I always have nightmares.
I'm afraid to go to sleep because I think I might still be in that place”

 

She knew Gerard would be troubled by such a statement.
I know that, but I couldn't stop.

In mid-sentence, Ortansia was struck by a sudden floating sensation, and she cried out, frightened.

 

“Ah, Onii-sama!”

 

Gerard suddenly picked up Ortansia's body to her surprise.

In her first and second lives combined, this was the first time he had done this to her, and Ortansia was at once confused.

 

“Oh, that ..”

 

“Look.”

 

With a single word, Gérard pointed towards the vast gardens of the duke's mansion.

She cautiously glanced in that direction and couldn't help but exclaim: “It's so beautiful!”

 

The beautiful garden of the duke's mansion shines golden in the setting sun.

 

A sight never seen by Ortansia's small stature.

 

“This is where you belong.”

 

Gerard told her quietly.

His words sank deep into her heart, and Ortansia was on the verge of tears.

 

“Can I… stay?

 

“Now that Father has decided to welcome you, no one is allowed to object to that decision.
If there is such a person… tell me.”

 

These were the words of Gerard, who, though modest, acknowledged that Ortansia was “a member of the ducal family.”

Tears slowly began to fill her eyes, and Ortansia tightly buried her face in Gerard's shoulders.

 

 In this second life, when she thought everything was going well, it went down the worst route, and Ortansia was swept away in a direction she didn't expect.

Though she didn't know why, at least Gerard seemed to accept Ortansia.

Just that alone seemed to make everything worthwhile.

 

“Thank you, brother.”

 

Muttering  in a low voice, Ortansia gently closed her eyes with her face buried in her brother-in-law's shoulder.
And then she fell into a peaceful sleep that she had not been able to get for several days.

Strangely, she didn't have any nightmares.
