= ”ltr ”> In her first life, Ortansia knew of its existence, but she had never bothered to go to the training ground to see it.

She had a complex about her illegitimate (or not) origins.

 

'Ummm…
even the servants were cold at first, and they looked at me with great disdain'

 

Although she had come here with great enthusiasm, Ortansia was beginning to lose her confidence.

 

 But there was no way she could say, “Let's go back” after everything

 As she was quietly walking forward, one of the knights who was resting nearby noticed her and called out to her.

 

“Hey, how can I help you?”

 

“This is the Duke's daughter, Lady Ortansia.
Lady Ortansia wishes to meet with the Deputy Commander of the Order.”

 

“Duchess? I beg your pardon, I'll go get the Deputy Commander now!”

 

Heh… It might have turned out to be more serious than I thought.'

 

Ortansia regretted a little that she had come so carelessly.

 

'Being a duchess is a tough position…' She couldn't help thinking that as she fidgeted and waited, she eventually saw a burly man coming towards her with the knight from earlier.

 

'This man is the deputy captain…'

 

 Ortansia looked up timidly at the man in front of her.
He was probably in his forties.
Even through his clothes, you could see his well-trained muscles.

 

…A big ferocious bear.

 

That was Ortansia's first impression of the man in front of her.

Quite scary, to be honest.

 

'Yes, of course, he is the leader of the knighthood.
He should have this level of dignity'

 

 The head of the Order of Knights was Ortansia's father, the Duke of Verite.
However, her father was only the nominal head of the order, and it is the man in front of her who practically leads the knighthood.

 

“It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Ortansia.”

 

 He knelt down in front of her and fixed his gaze on her

 

“My name is Ambert Tellier, vice-commander of the Order of Verité.”

 

“It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Sir Terrier.
My name is Ortansia, and I am now a member of the Dukes of Verite.
Please, accept my compliments.”

 

 When she bowed with the utmost elegance, remembering Annabelle's lesson, Sir Terrier's eyes narrowed.

 

“Oh, well…”

 

'Ugh, did I do something wrong ……?'

 

Sir Terrier stared at Ortansia, who was inwardly panicking.

 

“I beg your pardon, but you don't look much like your father or brother.”

 

As soon as Ortansia heard those words, she felt as if her heart had frozen.
