The Eldest Daughter Walks the Path of Flowers Episode 186

Eve looked at Radis with satisfaction. Calling Meriel as a rescue mercenary to keep Radis occupied was truly an excellent strategy.

He bent his waist and pressed his lips to his wife’s cheek. Then he whispered in a sweet and gentle voice that could melt even the largest block of ice in an instant.

“My lady, I hope you spend your time leisurely, comfortably, and pleasantly.”

His lips brushed very gently beside hers. At the smooth sensation touching the corner of her lips and the familiar warm breath, Radis’s eyes widened slightly then became somewhat hazy.

Eve Russel stole her wits with a secret kiss, then slowly withdrew without breaking propriety. And he smiled innocently without any suggestive expression.

“Then I shall go to Ralings to attend the grand council. I will definitely return, even if it’s late.”

“Yes. Go and come back safely.”

“I’ll… I’ll be back…”

Radis nodded with both cheeks tinted pink, then came to her senses. But Eve had already left the drawing room.

She hurriedly looked at the Lady and asked.

“Lady, what did you just discuss with His Grace?”

Meriel evaded the answer with an enigmatic smile.

“Well, my precious girl. Do you think this Lady would answer so easily?”

“…You really won’t tell me?”

“Of course not. Now, granddaughter-in-law. Suspicion is not good for prenatal care. Cast aside useless doubts, and let’s start over with making baby socks. Relax your strength completely, make it loose.”

“Completely…”

Radis followed the Lady’s teaching and relaxed her shoulders completely, but she couldn’t cast aside the doubt of ‘what exactly is that person trying to do?’

Eve Russel was plotting something.

‘What could it be?’

At first, given the timing, she expected something like a gift. But it seemed to be something on a larger scale than a gift.

Eve began questioning Radis’s associates one by one. Starting with Meriel, the maids were called to the meeting room one after another. And the expressions of the maids who returned after their meetings with Eve were all suspiciously uniform. Though there were degrees of difference, they all had their cheeks slightly raised in common.

Radis focused her attack on Berry, whose cheeks were raised the highest among them.

“Berry, what is it exactly?”

“Pardon? Lady Radis, what do you mean?”

“What did you discuss with His Grace?”

Berry pressed down on her cheeks with both hands and said nonchalantly.

“His Grace asked me to take good care of Lady Radis.”

Radis narrowed her eyes and peered into Berry’s face.

“Berry, is that really all?”

“Ah! He also gave me absolution, saying I could freely use any weapon if there’s anyone spouting nonsense around Lady Radis.”

“What weapon?”

Berry giggled.

“There’s such a thing!”

Berry’s defensive wall was unexpectedly solid. Unable to be more persistent, Radis sighed and took a step back.

‘What exactly is he trying to do?’

But Lady Meriel had said that suspicion is not good for prenatal care. Radis buried herself in the cozy bed and crocheted lace as Meriel had taught her.

Now somewhat accustomed to knitting, she could make a palm-sized piece of lace in a few days. In the center of the lace motif she had created was a baby lion.

Radis spread out the lace and stared at it intently. The kitten-like baby lion had one paw raised as if trying to toddle somewhere.

Where could such a tiny thing be going? Her heart felt inexplicably touched.

“…How cute.”

“Yes, it’s cute.”

Radis narrowed her eyes and looked up.

“Your Grace, have you just arrived?”

Eve Russel, who had been leaning against the bedpost watching her, smiled. As he slowly came to sit on the edge of the bed, the bed gently swayed under his weight. Radis felt her cheeks flush red for some reason.

She tried to act as if nothing was wrong.

“As Your Grace instructed, I’ve been staying quietly and well.”

“Radis, what do you mean by that? I never told you to stay quietly. I said to stay comfortably and at ease.”

“Isn’t that the same thing?”

He buried his lips in her hair and spoke in an affectionate voice.

“I know. How frustrating it must be for the great Lord Gloria to stay so quietly like this?”

“…It’s not exactly like that.”

“Even so, I met with the healer. He said you’ll enter the stable period soon, and in just a few days you can live as usual.”

Her heart felt touched again. Radis slightly lifted her head to look up at him. His pretty honey-colored eyes were gazing at her as sweetly and warmly as always.

Radis asked carefully.

“You know, Eve. How did you know I was feeling frustrated?”

Eve burst into laughter at her question.

“How could I not know that?”

He took away her knitting materials and instead pulled her hand to place it against his cheek. She could feel his smooth and firm skin filling her palm.

Eve Russel leaned his face against her hand with a grateful expression, then slowly laid his large body down beside her. He looked into her eyes with burning golden pupils and let out a trembling breath filled with reverence.

“…I love you.”

That confession sounded almost like a sigh. He stared intently at her face as she lay against the soft pillow, then took a deep breath that made his chest swell greatly. Perhaps he was quite excited right now.

He spoke again.

“I love you.”

Radis smiled.

“I know. Calm down.”

“…I can’t calm down.”

Radis slipped into his arms while maintaining eye contact with him. Eve trembled as if he had touched a burning coal, then immediately embraced her with both arms.

It was a careful embrace as if holding a fragile sugar doll. Through the thin fabric, she could feel his tensed forearms writhing intensely.

Radis placed her hand on his chest and looked up at him, saying.

“Eve, I’m fine. When you want to touch me, you don’t need to be afraid.”

Various emotions washed over Eve’s face like waves. Behind his concern for her came intense affection, then worrisome emotions that could easily overwhelm his passion crashed over him. And after all of that swept through noisily and passed, a golden foundation was revealed.

“I thought I loved you as much as I possibly could before.”

Eve’s eyes seemed to become moist somehow. Radis tried to look closely at his eyes. But Eve pulled her into his arms, making it impossible.

He held her firmly in his embrace and whispered in her ear.

“Now I feel like I could do anything for you.”

Through their touching skin, she could feel warmth so hot it made her heart ache. It was as if his emotions were being transmitted directly.

Radis threw away the worries and doubts she had been holding for his sake. Instead, she hugged him tightly with both hands and patted his broad back.

“Then try to calm down for me.”

“Calm down?”

Eve instantly climbed over her like a predator that had spotted prey. And like a real beast, he growled in his throat and showered kisses on her face.

“When my wife is this beautiful, you want me to try to calm down? That’s too difficult a spell.”

“Just a moment ago you said you felt like you could do anything for me?”

“It’s not easy.”

The plump lips that had been showering kisses along her facial lines gently settled on her lips. She lifted her head and responded actively.

Eve let out a long sigh.

“No… Don’t do this. We have to think about our baby.”

Radis burst into laughter.

“After starting it yourself?”

“When I do this, you should push me away! When you do this… I can’t resist.”

She knocked down Eve, who was trying to retreat, and climbed on top of him. Then she made a scary growling sound just like Eve had done.

Eve pretended to surrender.

“My lady, I surrender. You have already conquered me.”
