strong natural appearance.

With light steps, Ortansia crossed a small wooden bridge over a stream.

 

“If you go to the right from there, there is a goat grazing area.
Go there again when it's bright.”

 

Ortansia smiled and thanked Gerard, who spoke so quietly.

 

“Thank you.”

 

” I'm the next head of the family after all.
It's only natural to know what's on the premises.”

 

Gerard muttered, looking somewhat annoyed.

 

'It's only natural to know the geography of the estate, but it was Brother's kindness to tell me so I can choose where I might like to go.'

 

Thinking of this made her heart warm.

Ortansia spun around and looked up at Gerard.

 

“Brother, you lived here when you were little, right?”

 

“Oh yes I did, though I don't have any good memories of it.”

 

Ortansia clenched her fists tightly at Gerard's self-mocking remark.

 

“I only asked Constan about the situation, and I've never met Brother's mother, so I don't think I have the right to interject…”

 

Ortansia stepped closer and took Gerard's hand.
Then she gently squeezed it.

 

“As for the Duchess keeping you away from her, I don't think it's your fault in the slightest.”

 

“If I may say so myself, I was an unchildlike child.
It's understandable that my mother would be bothered.”

 

“But isn't that just an individual difference!? We're all different people, so it's not surprising that some people laugh and cry excessively, while others don't show their emotiins much! I think it's disrespectful to call them creepy or weird just because of that!”

 

Gerard looked at the indignant Ortansia as if he were gazing at a rare animal.

 

“You're the first to say something like that”

 

“Ehehe, is that so?”

 

“Ah…
you've changed.”

 

She didn't really know if she was being praised or not.
But even so, if Ortansia's words could heal Gerard's emotional wounds even a little, it would be better.

With such a wish, Ortansia smiled.

 

'Hmm, even if my brother is eccentric, We're all the same, aren't we!'

 

When she said that, Gerard made a subtle expression.

 

'Eh, have I gone too far? it's a disgrace to be the same as me! what should I do'

 

The two of them are also in the same boat.

 

“I guess so.”

 

It was terribly difficult to understand, but it was certainly a word of affirmation.
