The Eldest Daughter Walks the Path of Flowers Episode 154

A complex expression appeared on his face and then disappeared.

He slowly nodded his head and opened his mouth.

“Yes. I am Berard Russel.”

He slowly approached the frozen Radis and looked down at her.

His gaze held an undeniable longing.

He spoke in a much softer voice.

“First, I should say thank you. I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time. The day when someone would appear to save Alexis…”

Radis could only stare blankly up at this person from five hundred years ago.

Everything was too mysterious.

Berard continued speaking.

“It was a very, very complicated and impossible thing. Truly impossible. Without Providence’s gift, we would never have been able to meet.”

Radis could barely manage a single word.

“…Gift?”

Berard nodded slightly.

He waved his hand at the empty air.

Then three worlds appeared before her eyes.

“Radis, in these three worlds there are six thrones. Beings who serve Providence’s command.”

He pointed to the vast world of light.

Then she could see two lights twinkling.

“In the World of the Gods, there are the Throne of Beginning and the Throne of Light.”

His hand pointed to the underworld shrouded in darkness and the two black dots within it.

“In the Underworld, there are the Throne of End and the Throne of Darkness…”

Berard smiled faintly as he pointed to her and himself.

“And in Our World, there exists the fire that gives life, and the time that allows all things to continue.”

“Is that… the gift?”

Her somewhat impatient question seemed to remind him of someone.

Berard wore an expression of infinite longing for someone.

He continued speaking in an even softer voice.

“All of it could be called a gift. But there is one special gift that Providence gave only to humans.”

Berard placed the hand he had extended to her on her shoulder and said.

“The ability to change everything that has been decided, will. That is God’s gift that allowed us to meet.”

While Radis was earnestly trying to understand his words, Berard turned around with his sleeves fluttering and lightly sat on the desk.

Tilting his head back and letting out a thin sigh, he had somehow changed into the appearance of an aged old man.

“Yes, will. The power to change everything. I endured with faith in that alone. Hoping that my will would help change something…”

He gazed at Radis with wrinkled eyes and said.

“After sealing Alexis, I devoted my entire life to breaking her curse. But even that entire lifetime was not enough. My body, having consumed too much mana, was dying rapidly.”

Radis saw his waist gradually bending and his white skin turning black as it died.

Just as the startled Radis was about to approach him, Berard raised his head.

Now he had changed into the appearance of a beautiful young man with a somewhat cool impression.

Somehow resembling Eve greatly, he spoke in a solemn voice.

“I could not die. If I did, my will would end there too. I cast a time-stopping spell on my soul as well.”

“…Like Alexis?”

A faint smile appeared on Berard’s handsome lips.

“Yes.”

He crossed his arms and continued speaking.

“I had Dantes bring Umbra so that my seal could be maintained as long as possible. So that she could rest a little more comfortably.”

“What about you?”

Berard looked a little surprised, then soon chuckled.

“I had to punish myself for failing to protect the woman I loved. I asked them to place my heart in the place where everything began to go wrong, and to bury my body anywhere near the Imperial Palace where she was. But my descendants did not follow the latter instruction.”

“…?”

Berard sent her a meaningful smile.

“Calling it disgusting was a bit hurtful.”

Not immediately understanding what he was talking about, Radis closed her mouth and rolled her eyes.

Then suddenly the Lord Russel’s Townhouse in Duras and the mummy that had been placed in its basement came to mind.

“…!”

Radis’s mouth fell open.

She could barely manage to ask.

“How… why did you go that far?”

At her question, a gentle smile appeared on Berard Russel’s face.

“Because I love her. Because I love Alexis.”

“…!”

Berard let out a long sigh before continuing.

“But I was immature, and her wounds were too deep. Even while serving Providence’s command and fighting for the world, she did not love them. The pleasures they offered her only hurt her more. What she truly wanted was probably not such things.”

Berard Russel gazed at her with those beautiful golden eyes and said.

“Radis Tillord. You are the only one who can save Alexis.”

“What?”

Radis, who had been staring at him blankly, came to her senses and looked down at her hands.

“Ah! The, the Mana Crystal…!”

Because she had unknowingly touched the Mana Crystal with her bare hands, Chronos’s Mana Crystal seemed to have been absorbed into her.

Radis looked at Berard Russel with a tearful expression and said.

“The, the Mana Crystal seems to have been absorbed into me?”

Berard nodded.

“Yes. That was the condition for you to be able to find me. For Alexis to open her heart to you and transfer the power she possessed to you, for you to awaken your abilities as a throne to some extent, and then touch Chronos’s Mana Crystal.”

“…!”

A gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Radis, there’s no need to think about it in a complicated way. You already know, don’t you. What salvation is.”

Berard Russel slowly approached the ornate door in the wall.

He grasped the door handle and said.

“Radis, I beg you. Please save her.”
