The Eldest Daughter Walks the Path of Flowers Episode 182

Eve said hesitantly.

“No, it’s not that… somehow, I feel like you’d find it burdensome.”

Lord Gloria, who could lift her husband up like a princess with ease, was deeply flustered.

“What did you say? Are you serious?”

Eve’s eyes welled up with tears as she pulled her into a tight embrace.

“I’m serious. If I loved my wife 1,000% before, now I think I love you ten times that much.”

What was 1,000% love like, and what was ten times that love like? Radis had no idea.

Eve sniffled.

“You’re so precious that I’m even careful about touching you.”

“…?”

Radis, held in Eve’s arms, could only blink in confusion. Why was Eve acting like this? It wasn’t the first or second day he’d been acting strangely, but today was really suspicious.

Fortunately, that bewildering situation didn’t last long.

“Upon hearing that Your Grace needs my assistance, I rushed here like sharp sunlight cutting through the beautiful early winter clouds.”

It was the elf healer, Siben.

As soon as Radis heard that Siben had arrived, she rushed out to greet him warmly.

“You came in a hurry, didn’t you? Welcome.”

Siben examined Eve’s half-withered face with worried eyes.

“Oh my, how could this be. It’s as if the full moon has waned and blooming flowers have withered.”

Radis translated.

“Siben says your condition looks bad too.”

Siben, who had been placing his hand on Eve’s forehead and slowly examining his condition, soon turned around and approached Radis instead.

“Lady Radis, just a moment.”

Siben reached out and firmly grasped Radis’s hand. Eve, who had been like a docile hermit crab, had his eyes sharply narrow.

“Hey, Siben!”

Radis sent Eve a look telling him to stay still. Then Eve pressed his lips tightly shut.

Soon Siben made his diagnosis.

“Now I understand.”

The elf healer, still holding Radis’s hand, turned back to Eve. Then, looking back and forth between the two, he spoke with an incredibly warm expression.

“A new life has taken root between you two. Congratulations.”

At the unexpected diagnosis, Radis’s eyes widened, and Eve, equally shocked, covered his belly with both hands and shouted.

“Is that really true? I’m… pregnant?!”

Naturally, being male, Eve couldn’t be pregnant.

The Duke’s Mansion healer, called in for an accurate diagnosis, bowed his head and said.

“Oh, just as Master Siben said. A baby has taken root in the womb of Lord Gloria!”

“…!”

Radis’s eyes widened once again, and Eve’s face lit up like a hundred candles had been lit.

“Something’s strange here.”

Radis pointed to her half-withered husband’s face and asked the healer.

“I’m the one who’s pregnant, so why is His Grace in that condition?”

At that, the healer looked puzzled.

“Well then. Your Grace, why are you in such a state?”

The elf healer provided the answer.

“It’s love.”

Siben made a heart shape with both hands and explained in a pleased voice.

“It’s something that happens very occasionally even among elves, who are magical beings. When a child is conceived between lovers whose souls are firmly bound by deep love, the husband also experiences the pregnancy process together.”

Then, looking at the flustered Radis and the moved Eve, he continued.

“For this to happen between you two humans. It moves my heart like starlight encountered by chance on a cloudy day.”

She didn’t know what he meant, but it seemed roughly touching.

But while Siben might find it moving, Radis didn’t. She looked down at her flat belly with extremely flustered, wavering eyes.

‘Really? Truly? Here? A life has taken root?’

It was unbelievable.

Of course, it had already been two years since she married Eve, so it wouldn’t be strange for a child to come.

‘And a few days ago, Ban said something strange too. Something about the first child’s name.’

Since it was something Ban said, she thought it would be better to prepare herself mentally rather than just dismiss it.

‘This quickly?’

Before Radis could even hide her bewilderment, Eve rushed over.

“R-Radis…!”

Unable to control his emotions, he pulled the stunned and frozen Radis into his arms. Crushingly, with all his strength. Then he startled himself and let her go.

“Ah, no. I shouldn’t do this!”

Eve asked restlessly.

“A-are you okay?”

Radis nodded dazedly. She actually didn’t feel anything particular.

The change in Eve’s expression as he looked into her bewildered face was tremendous. He looked like someone taking the full force of waves of emotion.

His eyes instantly reddened, his sculptured handsome face shook with intense emotion, and his pretty golden eyes became thoroughly wet as if they would pour out tears at any moment.

“My wife.”

He slowly knelt on one knee before her. He looked up at her with violently shaking eyes and whispered in a trembling voice.

“Um… actually, I don’t know what to say. It’s not that I’ve never imagined this moment, but now that this moment has come…”

Eve Russel looked up at her with tear-filled eyes and said.

“I can only say this. I love you, Radis…”

Actually, right now, the one who didn’t know what to say was Radis herself. Her feelings were too strange. But she knew what she should do for Eve, who was so happy and confessing his love.

She smiled and nodded.

“I love you too.”

Eve smiled as brightly as the sun and lifted her up. Radis also laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck.

The two were so happy, but the healer jumped in surprise.

“Y-Your Grace! You mustn’t lift Lord Gloria up like that!”

At the healer’s fuss, Eve froze while still holding Radis.

He shouted.

“Th-then what should I do? Tell me how to care for a pregnant wife!”

In the Russel Mansion, Lord Gloria’s residence was laid with triple carpets and cushion piles were created everywhere. In Duke Russel’s words, it was so that the ‘extremely dangerous early pregnant woman’ would definitely land in a soft spot even if she fell.

Radis clearly told the fussing Eve.

“I won’t fall.”

Eve, who had been directing the maids to install cushion piles everywhere, turned around. A new determination unlike before flowed across his face as he looked at his wife standing tall with arms crossed, displeased with the situation.

Eve commanded the maids.

“Rearrange the furniture! So it doesn’t block my wife’s path. Make sure there are no protruding parts so my wife won’t trip and fall!”

Apparently, the words “I won’t fall” from Radis Gloria, a master-level swordsman and Throne who received Providence’s command, sounded to Eve Russel like the faint screams of a dangerously fragile early pregnant woman staggering about.

Eve didn’t stop there. He summoned every merchant on the continent and swept up everything good for ‘extremely dangerous early pregnant women,’ decorating Radis’s residence with them.

The drawing room was conquered by coral, amethyst, and various silver ornaments, while bundles of herbs good for fetuses hung all over the bedroom walls. And Radis was confined(?) within it.

Radis, forced into cozy pajamas and made to lie in bed despite it being broad daylight, protested.

“This isn’t necessary. I’m really perfectly fine.”

At Radis’s protest, Eve Russel walked steadily toward her.

Amazingly, as soon as Eve heard the news of Radis’s pregnancy, the strange morning sickness that had been tormenting him disappeared completely. That wasn’t all. He truly looked stronger than ever before.

Eve gracefully bent toward her and whispered.

“Radis.”

His black hair swayed gently, and his coral-colored lips drew a caring smile. His golden eyes looked warmer and sweeter than ever.

Radis, forgetting she had been a little angry, looked up at him as if enchanted and thought.

‘I see it every day, but what an aggressively handsome face.’

He leaned his head toward her. Radis unconsciously fluttered her eyelashes and closed her eyes.
