The Eldest Daughter Walks the Path of Flowers Episode 129

Applause and cheers poured out from among the nobles.

“Your Highness the 3rd Prince, congratulations!”

“Lady Russel was a companion to the princes. A long relationship has finally borne fruit.”

“They truly make a perfect pair!”

Their words were right.

Olivier and Elizabeth really did look like a perfect pair.

Though both were frozen like statues.

Radis watched as Elizabeth, who had been resting her head against Olivier’s chest, carefully stepped away from him.

Her light green eyes trembled with apology toward Olivier, and with affection she couldn’t quite hide.

Radis realized that the person Elizabeth held in her heart was none other than Olivier.

‘Lady Elizabeth…’

Amid the outpouring of people’s blessings, Elizabeth looked only at Olivier with lost eyes.

Seeing his hardened face, Elizabeth’s light green eyes began to fill with tears.

As she shed tears drop by drop, Olivier let out a thin sigh.

His deeply sunken eyes seemed to say this:

‘It is not your fault.’

Olivier slowly placed his hand on her shoulder and let her lean against him.

The sight looked like seashells that had faded to different colors in the waves but were originally a pair, fitting together.

It wasn’t just Radis who felt that way.

People who saw them began to send cheers mixed with admiration.

“They truly are a beautiful pair…”

“Congratulations, Your Highness the 3rd Prince!”

Looking at them, Radis couldn’t help but recall the sight of Eve clinging to the Coril Noblewoman.

When she had seen the Coril Noblewoman and Eve together, she had been so angry her head felt like it would turn upside down.

But now she truly wished for Olivier and Elizabeth to be happy.

Radis recalled what Elizabeth had said.

‘What’s precious and what you want must surely be different.’

Cruelly, at that moment, Radis could starkly realize the difference between the two.

She felt her blood run cold.

‘I… like Eve.’

She turned her gaze to Eve standing beside her and was startled.

Eve was covering her mouth with both hands while staring intently down at Radis.

“Wh-what? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Eve spread the two hands that had been covering her mouth, made a small trumpet with them, and whispered into it.

“Radis, are you okay?”

Those neatly cupped hands were so large and pretty that Radis felt her blood not just run cold but freeze completely.

And those red lips moving inside that hand trumpet.

She shook her head briefly to shake off the temptation, then asked in a cold voice.

“What do you mean?”

“What do you mean what? Didn’t you like the 3rd Prince?”

“…!”

Radis felt her words get stuck as if she’d been hit in the solar plexus.

‘His Highness Olivier is someone precious to me. What I like seems to be you, you marquis.’

Instead of saying those words, Radis smiled brightly and stepped back.

“Go away.”

“I don’t want to.”

“Why are you clinging to me like this?”

Eve put one arm on her shoulder and whispered sweetly.

“Why? Because I like you.”

“…!”

He put his mouth to her ear and blew a long, warm breath as he spoke.

“Radis, shall I… comfort you?”

At his intimate whisper, Radis almost jumped on the spot.

“Wh-what, wh-what kind of comfort!”

Eve spread both arms naturally and said.

“What kind of comfort? I’m saying you can cry in my arms.”

Radis hit his chest with her fist.

“Are you crazy?”

But it seemed her fist didn’t have enough force to be angry.

Judging by how Eve grinned even after being hit once.

“You did that last time. Got tears and snot all over me. You were so cute.”

He firmly grasped Radis’s hand that had hit his chest, brought it to his lips, and even kissed her knuckles with a smacking sound.

“…!”

With his lips against her knuckles, Eve whispered intimately.

“For you, I could even unbutton my shirt and hug you.”

The sensation of his lips touching her knuckles was so soft that Radis could only tremble like someone whose heart had been pierced by a poisoned arrow.

Radis gathered all her strength and said.

“Th-that damn shirt buttons, unbutton them in front of His Highness…!”

“What…? In front of His Highness? Why?”

“Wh-when we first met! You said you almost did that! Don’t you remember? W-why is Eve so e-easy-going! Why are your sh-shirt buttons so loose?”

She trembled so much while saying this that her knees were shaking.

“Huh…!”

Finally, Radis did something she had never done once in her entire life.

She… shook off Eve’s hand, ran away, and hid behind Robert’s back.

“Radis?”

Robert, who had been focused on observing the Emperor’s movements, looked at her in surprise.

Her face was now the color of a very ripe red cherry.

“Are you okay? What happened?”

“Huh, huh…”

Radis looked up at Robert with an almost tearful face and spoke haltingly.

“C-Captain! H-hermit crab sloth…!”

“What?”

“No, the marquis. Huh…!”

Radis glared at Eve while hiding behind Robert’s back.

Eve was holding his stomach and laughing at being called a hermit crab sloth.

Radis finally couldn’t stand it and kicked off from that spot and ran away.

“I-I don’t know!”

“What? Radis?”

“I-I’m leaving first!”

Robert tried to catch her, but he couldn’t stop Radis who had truly decided to escape from that place.

She covered her face with both hands and ran frantically out of the banquet hall.
