The Eldest Daughter Walks the Path of Flowers Episode 13
“O.A….”
It was the initials embroidered on the handkerchief.
Only that handkerchief told her that the encounter just moments ago wasn’t a dream.
If it weren’t for the handkerchief, Radis would have thought she had briefly fainted from the shock of falling and had some kind of dream.
Her meeting with him was that surreal.
‘He was like an angel.’
Radis, who had been tracing the initials embroidered on the handkerchief with her fingertips, folded it neatly and put it in her bosom.
‘If I ever meet him again… I should return it.’
She straightened her outfit in the restroom and properly stomped on the heel of those damned high heels to teach them a lesson so they would never rebel again, then returned to the banquet hall.
‘If you have courage, you can gain something even on the most difficult days.’
That gentle voice seemed to give her courage.
Upon returning to the banquet hall, she looked around and spotted a familiar crest.
A shield shape with a dove engraved on it—the crest of House Rosild.
Radis approached a middle-aged man wearing clothes with that crest.
The man, realizing she was approaching, smiled warmly and offered a greeting.
“Pleasant evening. And you are…?”
“Good evening? My name is Radis.”
Radis reluctantly added the rest.
“Of the Tilrod Family.”
“Ah, Miss Radis. I am Pellis Rosild.”
“It’s an honor to meet you, Sir Pellis.”
Radis, unaccustomed to such social conversation, hesitated briefly before getting straight to the point.
“I’ve heard much about the reputation of House Rosild’s extermination troops. I’ve been told you’re one of the shields protecting the Empire from the Monster Forest.”
Pellis smiled and humbly shook his head.
“We’re merely doing what must be done.”
“No. You’re truly admirable. So… might you happen to be recruiting new soldiers?”
Pellis looked at Radis with a slightly troubled smile.
His eyes seemed to be gauging something.
Seeing those eyes, Radis realized she had made a mistake.
This wasn’t the right place or attire to bring up such matters.
If only she had met him without this pink scrubbing pad of a dress and with a sword in hand…!
Then Pellis spoke.
“Actually… this isn’t the recruitment period for new soldiers.”
Radis, her cheeks slightly reddened, bowed her head.
“I apologize. I made a mistake…”
“But I cannot refuse such a request from such a gracious young lady.”
“Pardon? You mean…?”
“You said Tilrod Family, didn’t you? I’ll send someone later.”
“Sir Pellis, thank you so much!”
“There’s no need to thank me. The truth is, no matter how many people we have in the extermination troops, it’s never enough.”
Radis was overjoyed.
The Imperial Monster Hunting Corps she had belonged to in her previous life was poor.
Support from the Empire was truly meager, and most necessary supplies had to be obtained by begging for support from nearby nobles.
The only good thing was being able to freely take magic stones seized from monsters.
On the other hand, joining a noble family’s extermination troops meant having to offer magic stones to the family, but the treatment was much better than the Empire’s troops.
Outside of regular extermination periods, sufficient leave was granted, and regular purification ceremonies could be received at the temple.
Best of all was being able to leave the Tilrod Family.
‘House Rosild was famous for treating their extermination troops well. If I can just join House Rosild’s extermination troops…!’
Radis felt hope swelling warmly in her chest as she turned around.
Then a gray shadow fell across her path.
“Found you.”
It was Hover.
Hover, who looked somehow furious, was clenching and unclenching his fists while alternately looking at her and Pellis Rosild’s retreating figure.
“What’s with that bastard?”
Radis was incredulous.
“What? That bastard?”
“Did that bastard hit on you, Miss Radis?”
“You seem to be seriously misunderstanding something, but I was the one who approached him.”
Radis said curtly.
“And whoever I talk to is none of your business.”
Her words seemed to strike a nerve with Hover.
Hover stopped clenching and unclenching his fist and slowly made a fist while approaching Radis step by step.
What appeared on his face was clear anger, and his voice was as low as if coming from a cave.
“I try to treat you nicely, but you don’t know when to stop climbing up.”
Radis stared straight at Hover.
Hover continued speaking.
“Your mother entrusted you to me. Do you think you have a choice? You’re mine tonight. And yet you make me this angry.”
Hover grabbed Radis’s arm.
His intimidating attitude caused murmuring sounds from the surroundings.
She could have shaken off Hover right there, but not wanting to cause a scene, Radis silently followed him.
When they reached a deserted corridor, Hover turned around and scolded her.
“Tonight, I’m going to fix your attitude once and for all!”
Radis immediately threw a punch at his face as he turned around.
