The Eldest Daughter Walks the Path of Flowers Episode 177

“….”

Radis opened her eyes drowsily.

Was there a window open somewhere?

Sunlight streaming through the fluttering white curtains was tickling her cheek.

‘I want to sleep more.’

She felt as if she had awakened from a very long sleep.

Her head was foggy, and her whole body felt drowsy.

Radis squeezed her eyes shut and tried to ignore the warm sunlight caressing her forehead and cheeks.

However, the golden sunbeams persistently crept through her closed eyelids, gradually, gradually waking her up.

‘As if I would get up just because of that.’

Thinking this, Radis burrowed deeper into the cozy blankets and turned her back.

At that moment, a firm arm that had been resting on the pillow slipped around her nape and pulled her shoulder closer.

“…?”

Radis had no choice but to open her eyes in surprise.

Before her eyes, a man was sleeping deeply while wearing an eye mask.

Looking at his perfect nose sculpted like marble and his attractive red lips, Radis grasped the eye mask with her fingertips and slowly lifted it up.

It was Eve.

The person she loved most in the world.

Radis rested her head against his firm shoulder and gazed at Eve’s sleeping face.

The man who had tormented her so persistently all night was now clinging to her, sleeping deeply with a peaceful expression.

Come to think of it, even their legs were tangled together.

‘Ugh, it’s hot.’

When she tried to pull out one leg, Eve stirred and then raised his other arm to embrace her tightly.

At the same time, their loosely intertwined legs pressed closely together.

This was Eve’s sleeping habit that had developed since they started sharing the same bed.

‘I’m going to die from the heat.’

She pulled out one hand and stealthily lowered the blanket a little.

Feeling the cool air, the heat subsided considerably.

She felt like she could live.

If she tried hard to break free, it wouldn’t be impossible, but she didn’t want to.

There was no place in the world as comfortable as sleeping Eve’s embrace.

Of course, when he was awake, the story was a little different.

Radis stared blankly at the bite marks remaining on his shoulder and gradually came to her senses.

“Ah…!”

It was today.

Today was the day to leave with Ban.

Radis slipped out of Eve’s arms like sliding.

She was about to give him a pillow to hold instead of her escaped body when Eve opened his eyes drowsily.

“You’re awake…?”

“I’m awake. You sleep more.”

Despite her words, Eve rustled up from his position and habitually tousled his hair while yawning languidly.

The way he yawned loudly then pressed his lips together and puffed his cheeks was so cute that Radis, who was picking up clothes to wear, couldn’t help but glance over at him.

“Uhaaaaaam!”

She could see Eve stretching languidly.

His body without a thread of clothing was like a pale marble statue.

On his skin, white and soft like alabaster plaster, the red and purple marks she had made last night were scattered like flower petals.

Looking at that seductive sight, she could feel her mouth going dry.

Radis was conflicted.

‘What time is it now? I shouldn’t be too late…?’

That’s when it happened.

Eve suddenly frowned and covered his mouth.

“Ugh…?”

Radis looked over at him.

“What’s wrong?”

Eve, who had been making a strange expression while covering his mouth for a moment, finally removed his hand from his mouth and spoke.

“I suddenly felt nauseous.”

Radis sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him with worried eyes.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine now. I guess my stomach was upset for a moment. What did I eat yesterday….”

Radis, who had been hesitating for a moment, opened her mouth.

“Should we not go today?”

At her words, Eve smiled brightly.

The way his eyes curved prettily was so beautiful it made her heart sink.

“Really? That’s fine with me!”

How many times had Radis given in to this one smile.

However, it had already been 2 years since they held their private wedding ceremony in the quiet clearing at the center of the forest, watched by the forest spirits.

Having given in a lot and overlooked much during that time, Radis had built up quite an immunity.

She shook her head lightly and said.

“…No. Cancel that.”

At her words, Eve let out a short sigh and then leaned his upper body against her back affectionately.

“I know. Go and come back.”

He combed through her hair with one hand and then kissed her exposed nape.

At first, it was playful light kisses that made smacking sounds, but that didn’t last long.

She could feel through her skin how his plump lips grew increasingly hot as they traveled down her prominent spine.

“Eve.”

While looking for boots under the bed to put on, Radis made a warning sound.

However, the caresses that Eve’s lips poured onto her nape were growing increasingly intense.

Finally, Radis turned around sharply and grasped Eve’s face with both hands.

“It’s morning….”

She was about to say to stop because it was morning, but she could see Eve making a pitiful expression with an innocent face like a puppy.

Radis had no choice but to kiss his pretty nose tip instead of scolding him.

Then she came down and gently kissed his warm, soft lips as well.

After a moment, when their lips parted, Eve said with a dazed expression.

“…Is that it?”

“Of course that’s it. The sun is already high, and I have to go now.”

Radis pulled up the sheet to cover his shoulders completely, making him like a hermit crab.

Then she spoke again.

“You don’t look well, so rest well today. I’ll tell Marcel on my way out. I’ll have meals brought up here too.”

“Should I… do that? I feel strangely nauseous….”

Radis’s suggestion seemed quite tempting as Eve appeared to hesitate.

Radis kissed his forehead and then whispered softly.

“Thank you for allowing me to go to the past.”

A few years ago, Radis had gone to the past to save young Eve who remained in the Forbidden Zone, but got trapped in that past time.

Those six months were terribly painful for both of them.

They didn’t want to experience such a situation again.

Radis’s mind changed because of Ban.

Ban, a monster born in the Forbidden Zone, was the new Chronos who succeeded Berard Russel.

Ban, who had awakened as a Throne from birth, grew to adulthood within months of being born and broke through the barrier to find Radis.

Ban called her ‘master’, saying that Radis had given him blood.

At first, she wondered what he was talking about, but after hearing Ban’s story, there were things that clicked into place.

Surprisingly, Ban had met Radis once when he was still an egg.

Long ago, Radis had found monster eggs at the Royal Serpent Mercenary Unit’s dwelling and returned them beneath the Mabesu Tree.

Among them was a large egg that Arachne had desperately returned beneath the Mabesu Tree.

That was Ban.

At the time, Ban was in a fragile egg state, separated from the Mabesu Tree and apparently dying in a near-death condition.

But suddenly, blood rich in magical power flowed in and saved him.

That was the blood Radis had shed.

Anyway, Ban, who had once been an egg with a story, had now grown into a proper throne and could freely manipulate the power of time.

Such Ban had casually said something to Radis.

‘Master, I’m not omnipotent, but if you ever want to look back at the time that has passed, tell me. I can’t take you to the future, but I can easily help you retrace the past.’

The moment she heard Ban’s words, Radis couldn’t help but think of what she had missed.

Radis, who had wanted to return to the past at least once, tried to persuade Eve.

And naturally, Eve said no.

Radis understood such Eve.

She knew all too well how much he had suffered in the time without her.

But she didn’t want to give up either.

She persuaded Eve that she would be absolutely safe with Ban, and if necessary, she could return using Berard Russel’s spell technique.

In fact, she had been using that spell technique carved on her ring finger whenever she had the chance.

However, Eve continued to be stubborn, not dishonoring his honorable middle name.

The small argument that started from time travel escalated into a battle of stubbornness, and a few days ago, Radis finally emotionally hit Eve’s side.

At that point, Radis, who thought ‘what am I doing right now,’ tried to give up on returning to the past.

That’s when Eve broke his stubbornness.

‘Fine. Go ahead.’

She didn’t know why Eve suddenly broke his stubbornness, but Radis wasn’t going to miss this opportunity.

She stroked Eve’s cheek and said.

“You know there’s no need to worry, right? I’m with Ban, and if necessary, I have this too.”

Radis extended her left hand.

Berard Russel’s spell technique carved on her left ring finger was still there.

After kissing that spell technique, Eve said.

“…Really, I understand. How could I possibly hold you back?”

Radis looked into his pretty golden eyes and whispered.

“If there’s anything in this world that could hold me back, it would only be you.”

A sweet smile spread across Eve’s lips.

He said.

“Say those words. The words I love most.”

Radis closed her eyes with her forehead pressed against his.

“…No matter when or where I go, I will always return to your side at the end.”

When she opened her eyes again, the man she loved most in the world was looking at her as if he had reunited with someone he had longed for.

He quietly looked into her eyes and sweetly whispered.

“Then you may go, Lord Gloria.”
