Chapter 141: To Save Father

‘Haaah!’

In the darkness, Ortansia bolted upright.

Drenched in sweat, her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

“Why, Father…”

She had believed she could alter the fate of death creeping towards her father.

But that had been a grave mistake.

The man who sought her father's life, He wasn't the sort to give up after a single failure.

‘Because I prevented the poisoning, he'll find another way to kill Father...!’

It was far too cruel.

Just recalling the moment she faced her father in the coffin, killed by a random attacker, brought a wave of nausea surging up within her.

‘No, I can't stay like this…’

There was no time to wallow.

Even at this very moment, that man must be nursing his growing resentment towards her father, plotting his murder with each passing hour.

‘I have to stop him...’

After all, he had succeeded once.

Just as I had found a way to prevent the poisoning, I should be able to prevent Father from being attacked by a random assailant.

As she climbed out of bed, Tyrol, who had been sleeping in the indoor cat bed, let out a muffled mew.

[ Sia...? It's still the middle of the night… ]

“Yes, but I have to go.”

[ Go? Where...? ]

“To the future, or the past. I'm going to save Father!”

[ Mew!? ]

As Ortansia began using 《Time interference》, a flustered Tyrol clung to her feet.

Ortansia leapt through time, determined to change her father's fate.

◇◇◇

“Therefore, to decline a gentleman's invitation politely and without any lingering awkwardness…”

Annabelle's voice echoed hollowly in her head.

While Annabelle taught her lessons in ladylike behaviour, Ortansia fought the onslaught of headache whilst feigning composure.

“Now, young Miss, it's time for practice. Please come this way.”

At Annabel's words, Ortansia scrambled to her feet.

The moment she did, a fierce dizziness struck her, and her body swayed.

“My lady!”

Annabel caught her at the last second, preventing an embarrassing fall to the floor.

But immediately after laying Ortansia down on the sofa, Annabel's face paled and she cried out.

‘Quickly, fetch the doctor! Miss Ortensia has collapsed!’

‘Oh, Annabel. There's no need to panic so terribly…’

She wanted to call out, but her vision spun and she couldn't form the words.

She knew the cause of her malaise.

It was simply from overusing the physically taxing《Time interference》

‘This isn't the time to be collapsing here...!’

Tears welled up slowly at her own inadequacy.

Ever since dreaming of her father being killed by a random attacker, Ortansia had used 《Time interference》

 over and over, leaping to the past and future.

She had desperately struggled to change her father's fate.

But it was no use.

Even if she prevented one manner of his death, days later she'd dream of his funeral, where he'd met a different end.

That man was more relentless than Ortansia could have imagined, refusing to give up on killing her father no matter what means he employed.

Using 《Time interference》excessively in such a short period meant that lately, even her daily life had become impossible.

‘But if I stop trying, Father will…’

Father's death absolutely must be prevented.

For Ortansia's own sake, for Father's sake... and for Gérard's sake too.

‘For my brother, Father is vital to the family, an indispensable presence. For my brother's happiness, Father's existence is essential…’

Perhaps due to the lingering conflict concerning Gérard's mother, the interactions between Father and Gérard sometimes felt somewhat distant for a father and son.

Yet they certainly do not dislike one another.

It is clear Father relies on Gérard as his successor and takes pride in him.

Moreover, he undoubtedly holds deep familial affection for him. Though Gérard's nature likely disdains overly affectionate displays, so it seldom shows.

Even Gérard, fundamentally cold and indifferent to others, clearly holds Father in high regard.

Gérard is exceptionally capable, yet when it comes to interpersonal skills, his father is overwhelmingly superior.

Gérard seems to hold respect for that aspect of his father too, and fundamentally, the two rarely argue.

‘If Father were to disappear now, my brother would... just like back then…’

In that first life, if only Father had lived, that tragedy surely wouldn't have happened.

Even if the threat of the demon lord was removed, without Father, such a tragedy might repeat itself.

‘Because I want my brother to be happier than anyone else’

That is precisely why, for Gérard's sake too, Father cannot be allowed to die.

“Young Lady!”

When the doctor rushed to her side and called out to her, Ortansia gently opened her heavy eyelids.
