The Eldest Daughter Walks the Path of Flowers Episode 150

“Yes.”

Radis recalled the empty space beneath the Makai Tree before Arachne had returned the egg, and asked him.

“How does Eve know about that?”

“Because I saw it disappear.”

“…!”

Eve said.

“So Radis, even if you meet Kairos, there’s nothing you can do.”

From his words, Radis felt a strange sense of unease.

What he said was correct.

There was no Chronos mana crystal in this world now.

Instead, there was only an egg waiting to awaken.

That very point was different from the original past.

What could this mean?

Rather than giving up on finding Chronos because of his words, Radis felt she needed to know the truth more certainly.

She nodded her head.

“Still, I need to know. Let me meet Kairos.”

Eve Russel let out a deep sigh and turned around.

He walked toward the inner part of the study and pressed deeply on a book that was placed on the bookshelf located in the deepest corner.

Then the bookshelf split apart on both sides, revealing a hidden secret door.

Eve glared fiercely at the eye-shaped spell carved in the center of that stone gate.

In fact, behind this stone gate was just a wall.

However, assuming that spell was carved on a door somewhere and someone with golden eyes carrying Berard Russel’s bloodline looked at it, this door would connect to the secret space that Berard Russel had created.

It was a dizzyingly secretive method.

All of it was to protect the ‘Shield of Eternity’, that is, Kairos.

As his gaze reached it, the stone gate opened as if it had been waiting.

Eve said.

“Kairos is inside there.”

Radis slowly let go of Eve’s hand.

And she passed by him and entered the stone chamber.

As she stepped inside the stone gate, sacred air enveloped her.

Berard Russel’s study was filled with all sorts of mysterious objects, but Radis had no time to spare a glance at such things.

She went straight into the study and looked up at the golden shield hanging on the wall facing her.

Regia called out to Kairos in a somewhat bubbling voice.

[Hey, you lucky bastard. Wake up.]

After a moment, a very quiet voice was heard.

[I have been waiting. Fuir, and Hestia.]

At his greeting, Regia sneered.

[It’s Regia now, so call me that. Kugh, you were sleeping in a really nice place? I’ve been rolling around here and there. Berard must have treated you really well? Must have been nice. He even cast spells throughout this entire space so your consciousness wouldn’t fall completely asleep?]

At that sarcastic tone, Radis almost hit Regia.

But she couldn’t hit Regia, who seemed to have some strange competitive spirit toward Kairos, in front of Kairos.

If she did that, he would definitely sulk.

Instead, Radis spoke up.

“Kairos, I need your help.”

The golden shield with the black lion emblem drawn on it quietly sparkled.

[One who is prepared for the throne, I will help with anything I can. I have been waiting a long time for this.]

Regia scoffed.

[It’s natural for retainers to help the throne, so why are you trying to show off like that.]

Radis said gently.

“Regia, do you want to go to the Chamber of Truth again?”

[….]

Taking advantage of Regia’s silence, Radis quickly said.

“What should I do to break the curse on Alexis’s soul?”

Kairos answered.

[You can do it.]

At Kairos’s gentle but firm answer, Radis was momentarily at a loss for words.

“I can… do it?”

[Yes. And if not you, no one else could do it.]

Kairos continued.

[Just as Regia is connected to Hestia, I too am connected to Chronos. Thanks to that, I could know. That you could accomplish it….]

A palm-sized golden diagram appeared in front of Kairos.

[To meet Alexis, you must break Berard’s seal. For that, you need Chronos’s power. However, ‘now, here’ there is no Chronos that you need.]

The diagram slowly descended toward her.

Radis looked at it closely.

Various forms of diagrams overlapped to form the shape of a door.

Kairos said.

[That is a spell that can return to a point in the past by going through someone’s memory. It should be what you need now.]

Radis was startled when she realized the meaning of what Kairos was saying.

“You want me to go back to the past and bring Chronos?”

Kairos said quietly.

[That spell was created by Berard and operates only with his mana. Using Berard’s mana remaining within you to operate the spell will be limited to twice. Go back to the past, obtain Chronos, then return here.]

Radis reached out and touched the spell.

Then the spell disappeared as if absorbed into her hand.

Kairos said lastly.

[Eve Russel, that child is your key.]

After finishing those words, Kairos suddenly lost his light.

Panicked, Regia called out to him.

[Huh? Hey…! Kairos…!]

Radis realized.

That Kairos too had been enduring for a long time for his mission.

Eve Russel sat down heavily in a chair with a tired face, waiting for Radis.

His gaze, which had been blankly staring into space, suddenly fell on the things scattered messily on the desk.

Just moments ago, everything had seemed so clear, as if within his grasp.

The jewels, the ring, and his plan to propose to Radis.

Even the image of her nodding happily while blushing slightly at his confession.

Now all of it felt uncertain, as if it would scatter at the slightest touch.

Eve, who had been looking at those things with endlessly complicated and utterly sad eyes, suddenly sensed a presence and stood up.

It was Radis.

Eve read the expression that appeared on her face as she came out through the stone gate.

Her facial expressions didn’t change much, so he wouldn’t have noticed before.

But now he could tell.

That she too was afraid.

However, the moment Radis raised her head and spotted Eve, that dark look disappeared from her face as if washed away.

She was steeling her heart while looking at him.

She was gathering courage.

She made a decision and finally became someone who was prepared for everything.

At that moment, Eve realized.

That he needed to be as brave as she was being brave.

Before she could speak, he opened his mouth.

“I’ll wait.”

Radis looked at all of him.

She approached him closely, then looked up at him and whispered.

“I’ll be back soon.”

Then she stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek.

Eve shook his head vigorously.

“No!”

“What?”

He pouted his red lips and said.

“Here.”

Radis couldn’t help but smile.

“Alright.”

She kissed those cute lips with a soft sound.

Just as their briefly touching lips were about to part, Eve cupped her nape and face with both hands.

He rubbed her lips with his plump lower lip and whispered.

“Promise me. That no matter when or where you go, you’ll always return to my side.”

Radis’s eyebrows trembled at the moist and soft sensation his lips gave her.

She unconsciously tried to devour his lips, but he didn’t easily give them to her.

He said.

“Promise first.”

She had no choice but to open her eyes, look into his golden pupils, and make the promise.

“I promise.”

As if those words weren’t enough, she could see Eve pressing his coral-colored lips together firmly.

Radis smiled and spoke again.

“I swear. No matter when or where I go, I will definitely return to Eve’s side in the end.”

As soon as her vow ended, Eve pushed against her as if he had been waiting and showered her with passionate kisses.

It felt like her mind was melting.

She had to abandon the belief she had held until then that a person was a complete being on their own.

If that were true, she couldn’t explain the sensation of everything being filled only when he permeated into her.

Their breaths intertwined, and his sweet breath filled her completely.

Still, it wasn’t enough.

She devoured him more, more desperately.

Until it overflowed from her lungs and filled her down to every drop of blood.

So that even in moments without him, she could remember him with her entire body.

Radis stroked his soft cheeks, the prettiest ears in the world, and his fluffy black hair as she whispered to him.

“You have to stay by my side always, always.”

“I will.”

“So… wait for me here, now.”

She asked from a distance so close that her breath touched his swollen lips.

“When did you see Chronos?”

Eve, who couldn’t speak for a moment, slowly opened his mouth.

“…Fall of the 480th Year of the Empire.”

Radis looked at him and slowly stepped back.

She drew Regia and deployed the spell technique that Kairos had given her.

Inside her, a power she didn’t even know existed began to move.

That power unraveled like thread from her mana core with a sensation that was strange yet familiar.

The spell technique flowing from Regia’s tip drew several geometric shapes in the air.

After they overlapped in multiple layers, a brilliantly golden glowing door was created.

Radis turned around one last time and smiled toward Eve.

Then she picked up a pitch-black cloak hanging on a coat rack in the corner and draped it over her shoulders.

“You said it was fall, right? I’ll borrow this.”

“…!”

Eve’s eyes widened at the sight.

Radis said with a smile.

“Wait for me.”

The door swallowed her.

Eve shouted belatedly.

“Radis…!”

He reached out his hand, but the door had already closed.

“It was you.”

Eve muttered blankly.

“It was you from the beginning.”

He shook his head.

“Why am I… so foolish? How could I not have known? It was you from the beginning, you were all I had…”
