The Eldest Daughter Walks the Path of Flowers Episode 137

Elben Rosild was truly human scum, a man who frequently caused problems with women.

And during a time when visits from corps members were prohibited, Noeri Fraser, who had secretly disguised herself as a maid to visit her younger brother, caught his eye.

Naturally, Noeri resisted fiercely, and Thierry, who was looking for his sister, saw the scene and went mad with rage, killing Elben Rosild.

Robert intended to prevent that incident from happening at all.

Indeed, while surveying the backyard of the training ground, he was able to spot a disreputable-looking man who was just grabbing and struggling with a small-bodied maid.

Robert immediately ran over and rammed the man’s petty back with his shoulder.

“Gaaaah!”

The man tumbled to the ground.

Robert grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and lifted him up.

“Elben Rosild?”

Elben Rosild, covered in mud, spat out dirt and shouted.

“That’s right! I’m Elben Rosild! You, you bastard, what are you?”

Robert, who had been lost in thought for a moment, opened his mouth.

“My name is Heron Rodrick.”

“Wh-what? Rodrick? Why is a Rodrick here…?”

“Remember this.”

Robert struck Elben Rosild’s face with his stone-like fist and said once more.

“I am Heron Rodrick.”

“Gaaaah!”

“The eldest son of Brantz Rodrick.”

“Gueeek!”

“You blocked the path of the Rodrick family’s eldest son, so you deserve this beating.”

“Guweeek!”

“If you have any complaints, come find me at the Rodrick family.”

“Grrrrk…!”

“And by the time you come looking for me, I’ll have lost a lot of weight from malnutrition and will be much smaller. Anyway, I am Heron Rodrick.”

“…”

Robert set down the pulverized and unconscious Elben Rosild on the ground and thought.

‘It seems that being by His Excellency’s side has rubbed some of Eve Russel’s qualities off on me. Not bad.’

Now that he had created a smokescreen, it was time for punishment.

Robert took a deep breath and then stomped down on Elben Rosild’s crotch with the heel of his boot.

The moment his vital parts were destroyed, even while unconscious, Elben Rosild let out a wretched scream like a pig being slaughtered.

After disposing of something that would be better off not existing in this world, Robert wiped his boot several times on Elben Rosild’s cloak, feeling disgusted.

Then he looked at Noeri, who was dressed as a maid.

“Are you alright?”

Noeri was looking up at him with wide, surprised eyes.

Robert was also surprised to see her.

‘Female Thierry?’

Just then, Noeri swayed.

“Ahh…!”

Robert caught her arm.

Then Noeri gently leaned her body and fell into his arms.

“Lord Heron, I was so scared…!”

Robert kindly corrected her words.

“I’m actually not Heron Rodrick. I used a false name to create confusion. My name is Robert.”

“Oh my, an even more wonderful name…!”

“It’s an ordinary name. My mother apparently gave it to me.”

“No, it suits you so very well…!”

Noeri gently rested her head against his firm, broad chest and whispered.

“Lord Robert saved me from that pervert’s clutches…!”

Just then, the sound of someone running could be heard from behind.

“Get away from my sister!”

Robert swung his sword, sheath and all, to knock down the charging Thierry.

“When you get angry like that, you don’t think before acting…!”

Robert was just about to scold Thierry when—

“Kyaah!”

Noeri let go of his hand and ran over to smack Thierry on the head.

“Where do you get off swinging something so dangerous?”

“Sister! But that guy!”

“This guy, that guy! What do you mean ‘that guy’!”

Noeri smacked Thierry’s head repeatedly while shouting.

“That pervert was harassing me and Lord Robert saved me, you know?”

“Ah, really? That’s what happened?”

“Hurry up and apologize!”

Thierry awkwardly got up from his spot with an embarrassed face and bowed his head deeply.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know about any of that…”

Robert pointed to the sword he had dropped and said.

“Pick it up quickly.”

“Huh?”

“Even a three-year-old wouldn’t go around dropping things from their hands like that.”

“Ugh…!”

“When drawing a sword, the basic rule is to properly assess your opponent before drawing. Swinging a sword around like a needle like that might hurt a pervert like him, but you couldn’t even kill a single werewolf.”

“Uugh…!”

Robert could see Thierry’s face reddening with shame.

Robert stared intently at the youthful face of the comrade he had shared life and death with in his previous life.

The Thierry before his eyes was very different from the Thierry in his memories.

His unshadowed face was clear and aristocratic, and his blue eyes, which had never once been wounded in pride, held a noble dignity.

Thierry had no idea that he had just avoided the biggest trap of his life.

That was better for him.

Unlike the other guys who would eventually commit crimes and be dragged elsewhere if Robert didn’t take them in, Thierry had a bright future.

The strength slowly drained from Robert’s eyes as he looked at Thierry.

He patted Thierry’s back with his large hand.

“Straighten your shoulders.”

“…!”

“Live well.”

“Huh?”

“If anything happens, come to the Russel Manor and look for me.”

Robert left those words behind and turned to start walking away.

If they had parted like that, it would have been quite a beautiful ending.

Thierry, who had been standing there dazed for a moment, hurriedly ran over and clung to his side.

“What… what? Do you know me? And how are you so strong?”

“…”

Noeri also ran over and clung to his arm.

“Lord Robert! You saved me. Let me repay you! What do you like? What’s your ideal type? Don’t you happen to like cute, lively women who sing well? That’s me…!”

“…”

“Physical training is indeed the foundation. In the morning, we do basic physical conditioning. The afternoon training content varies each time, but includes sword training, combat, sparring, and so on…”

Radis was busy looking around every corner of the training ground while half-listening to the explanation from the extermination corps member guiding her.

She opened doors and peered into any place that looked secluded, but Thierry was nowhere to be seen.

‘Where on earth is this kid?’

In the meantime, she spotted people gathered at the edge of the training ground and walked toward them.

“Lady Radis? Where are you going?”

The extermination corps member who had been guiding her followed after her in confusion.

In the corner of the training ground, three or four people were standing around one person.

Wondering if it might be Thierry, Radis took the liberty of observing the situation and discovered a completely unexpected person among them.

‘Ah…!’

For a moment, Radis thought it was herself.

Not her current self, but Radis Tillord from her previous life.

Radis blinked her eyes.

It wasn’t.

It was David, her younger brother.

His appearance was miserable.

His face was covered with traces of time spent in debauchery, and his attire was disheveled.

Moreover, as if he had been severely beaten somewhere, he was covered in bruises.

Seeing that sight, Radis became dazed.

The dam of memories collapsed in an instant.

Painful memories and regrets from her past life rushed in like waves and swallowed her.

After standing like that for a while, Radis barely managed to part her lips.

“…What are you doing there.”

At the familiar voice, she could see David slowly raising his head.

David blinked his eyes dully.

He didn’t immediately recognize his sister.

The sister in his memory was always smaller than reality, and such a trivial and worthless existence.

David belatedly realized that the strong and beautiful woman before him was his sister and opened his mouth.

“R-Radis?”

Radis looked down at her younger brother with eyes overflowing with all kinds of thoughts.

Unlike Yurhee, David resembled her to a cruel degree.

He had always resembled her, but seeing him in such a miserable state made her shudder involuntarily.

Recognizing her, David crawled on his knees toward her and reached out his hand.

“R-Radis! Please help me…!”

While she stared blankly at David, the extermination corps member who had been guiding her ran over and introduced her to the people around David.

“This is Lady Radis Tillord, who has come to observe from Lord Russel’s extermination corps.”

The people who had been looking at Radis with wariness relaxed their guard at the mention of Lord Russel’s extermination corps, but their eyes widened in confusion at the name Tillord.

One person stepped forward to explain the situation.

“Ah, this is quite an unseemly sight to show you. We were just discussing how to deal with this fellow’s punishment.”

“…Punishment, you say?”

“This fellow couldn’t endure the training process of the extermination corps and has deserted multiple times.”

He continued speaking with a clearly exasperated expression, clicking his tongue.

“As you would know being from Lord Russel’s extermination corps, desertion is originally a serious crime punishable by cutting off an arm. But out of respect for Lord Pellis, who introduced this fellow to the extermination corps, we’ve covered things up roughly several times.”

A chubby man shook his head and said.

“He was someone we shouldn’t have shown mercy to from the beginning.”

“In the end, this time he deserted and ran away, then even gambled using the Rosild Family’s name to incur debts.”

David screamed.

“Just a few coins! Our family said they’d pay it back!”

The chubby man firmly struck David on the head.

“This wet-behind-the-ears brat is rotten to the core from the start.”

“Agh!”

As if determined to exaggerate, David clutched the spot where he was hit with both hands and trembled.

Then he looked up at his sister while shivering.

“S-sister…!”

Hearing the word “sister” from David for the first time in her life, Radis felt any sympathy that had been trying to rise completely sink as her blood ran cold.

She could feel the extermination corps members flinch, unable to believe they could be real siblings.

Radis slowly bent her knees and sat in front of David.

And looking into his dirty face covered in grime, she said.

“So you’ve become like this too.”
