The Eldest Daughter Walks the Path of Flowers Episode 138

David blinked at the sorrowful tone filled with regret.

Radis slowly placed her hand on David’s shoulder and whispered in a slightly lowered voice.

“Why did it turn out this way? Have you ever thought about that? Do you have any regrets? Have you ever thought that if you had known then what you know now, something might have been different?”

David, who had been repeatedly opening and closing his eyes, grabbed her arm with both hands.

“What are you talking about? More importantly, stop these people! I never wanted to come to this hellish place in the first place!”

The patrol members frowned at David’s words.

However, David seemed to have gained some inexplicable strength from Radis’s appearance and poured out resentful words like a waterfall.

“Why should I have to train to catch monsters or whatever? The Tilrod Family is a knight family, but this isn’t even a knight order, it’s an extermination corps! I don’t want to do disgusting monster extermination! What did I do wrong to have to suffer here?”

As if something he had been holding back had burst, David began pleading his case, even spitting as he spoke.

“When you think about it, it’s all because of you! Because of you, my Imperial Academy admission was cancelled, and everything started falling apart from there!”

David now screamed at the top of his lungs.

“You’re the one who put me here in the end! You’re the one who brought that fraud Pellis Rosild into our house! Mom was stupid to fall for him, but the reason I ended up like this is all because of you!”

Radis, who had been quietly watching David, opened her mouth.

“I do have regrets.”

“Of course you do!”

“That I just left alone a hopeless bastard like you, calling you my younger brother while mother spoiled you rotten.”

“What, what?”

“I should have beaten you half to death a few times so you could have functioned as a human being.”

“What? Who’s going to beat who half to death? This is really asking for death!”

Radis shook her head.

“Then and now, you realize nothing and just blame others.”

“It is your fault!”

She closed her eyes and recalled David from her previous life.

David had reigned like an emperor of the Tilrod Family until the very end.

Acting as if he were royalty, doing nothing and lounging around, David always blamed Radis, saying it was her fault that he had to live in hiding.

In her previous life, she really thought that was true.

But now she knew it wasn’t.

Radis opened her eyes again and said.

“Yes, keep living like that, blaming me for everything.”

“What? Hey!”

Radis looked down at David with cold eyes and said.

“If you have eyes, you can see it, right? The difference between me and you now. It’s different from when we were forcibly bound together in one house under the name of siblings. Once you step outside mother’s skirts, you’re really nothing.”

Looking at David who was staring up at her blankly with his mouth agape, Radis slowly continued.

“No matter how much you cry and blame me from that bottom, I can just turn around and be done with it. Your voice doesn’t reach me at all anymore.”

Her voice was so cold it surprised even herself.

“You’re on your knees begging me to help you, but I have absolutely no reason to do so. If I hadn’t run into you today, I probably would never have thought of you even once in my future life. That’s what kind of existence you are to me.”

“What? Radis! No, Older Sister…!”

Radis looked at David with the same pitying gaze one would give a complete stranger in an unfortunate situation, then stood up.

“David, if you hate lying prostrate there, get up on your own feet. Don’t hope for someone else to take responsibility for your life, and look at yourself before blaming others.”

She left those words behind and turned away coldly.

David fumblingly tried to grab her.

“Hey! Radis! That, that’s…”

One of the patrol members blocked his way and cracked his fingers with a crunching sound.

“Well now, so you never intended to be in this hellish place from the beginning?”

The chubby man said ominously.

“I’ve seen many hopeless new recruits, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone as hopeless as you. You can’t even endure basic training, yet you talk about Imperial Academy? Knights? What’s in that head of yours? Should we crack it open and check inside?”

The man lifted his sword with its sheath and struck David’s head.

David let out a piercing scream.

“Aaaah! Don’t, don’t do that! Mom! Save me!”

Walking away with David behind her, Radis was slightly surprised by the fact that she was surprisingly okay.

It seemed even her complexion hadn’t changed.

Her past stretched long in the opposite direction of where she was heading, like a shadow that couldn’t be seen unless she deliberately lowered her head to look for it.

However, sometimes when walking through alleys, she would face a dead-end wall.

Only when she unconsciously raised her head and saw her own shadow cast right in front of her nose would she realize anew.

That there was something clinging to her feet that would never fall away.

‘Ah, I miss Eve.’

Radis closed her eyes and stretched both hands into the air, imagining touching Eve’s hair.

Just imagining touching that fluffy hair seemed to ease the slight pain in her solar plexus.

[That’s really too much…]

Regia’s grumbling voice woke her from her reverie.

Radis chuckled.

‘Still, he’s my real younger brother, so was I a bit harsh?’

[No, that bastard is the one who’s too much!]

Regia muttered gloomily.

[I don’t know why Hestia’s lineage is all like this. Alexis suffered so much because of his family too…]

Radis thought of the people around her.

‘Actually, isn’t a family where everyone cherishes each other just a fantasy that doesn’t exist in the world? You know, like that red-robed mage who supposedly brings gifts to children on Saint’s Day…’

[What’s that?]

‘You don’t know? There’s such a thing.’

Radis thought she should give Regia a gift on Saint’s Day this year.

Regia said as if comforting her.

[Older Sister, don’t be upset because of that wicked bastard…! You have me, don’t you!]

Radis almost burst out laughing unconsciously.

‘Ah, that’s right. I had another existence like a troublemaker younger brother.’

[Say I’m adorable, not a troublemaker.]

Radis couldn’t help but smile at Regia’s cute whisper.

In the distance, her other precious people were walking toward her.

It was Robert with a somewhat troubled expression, and Thierry and a girl who resembled Thierry a lot, each holding one of his arms.

Thierry was shouting at Robert.

“Please take me with you!”

The girl who resembled Thierry a lot, Noeri, also shouted together.

“Me too!”

Robert, who couldn’t shake them off and didn’t know what to do, spotted Radis and his face brightened.

“Radis, do something about these kids.”

Seeing Robert and Thierry together brought back memories from her previous life one after another.

She said to Regia.

‘No, Regia. I had them too.’

[Huh? What?]

‘Even if we weren’t blood-related, I had people precious to me like family…’
