The Eldest Daughter Walks the Path of Flowers Episode 189
She swore, she had never seen such adorable children in her life.
Daphne was a spirited-looking girl with red hair and golden eyes. And Ashur was a small, cute boy with black hair, black eyes, and plump cheeks that looked soft as bread dough.
Radis suppressed her urge to run over and hug both children tightly, asking gently instead.
“Hello, children. Are you perhaps lost?”
But the children’s reaction was something she had never expected.
“Motherrrr…!”
Ashur ran over like a puppy and clung to her legs. And Daphne’s face became both joyful and frightened.
“Mother, we’re sorry…!”
Radis was bewildered.
“What are you talking about? I’m not your mother.”
“…!”
“…?”
Perhaps it was relief from meeting someone.
The children, having calmed down a bit, cupped their small, chubby hands and pretended to whisper in each other’s ears, chattering away loud enough for Radis to hear everything.
“Looking closely, she’s a little different from Mother. Her hair is shorter too. Right, Ashur?”
“Yes, Older Sister. She looks just like Mother’s younger sister, doesn’t she?”
“But I’ve never heard that Mother has such a younger sister?”
Having said that much, Daphne looked at Radis with sparkling eyes.
“Maybe she’s a fairy who appeared borrowing Mother’s appearance to help us!”
“Wow, a fairy!”
Daphne and Ashur looked at Radis with their jewel-like beautiful eyes sparkling with starlight.
Meanwhile, Radis was conversing with real spirits that were invisible to the children’s eyes.
“Children, you know who I am, right?”
The forest spirits giggled and flew around her. They seemed to know her.
“Since you know me, this must be our forest… Could you show me the way?”
The spirits giggled and nodded their heads.
Of course, Daphne and Ashur couldn’t see the spirits, but they could see something faintly sparkling flying around Radis. Seeing this mystical sight, the children were convinced.
“She really is a fairy!”
“Wow, she really is a fairy…!”
Radis knew the children were thoroughly mistaken about something, but she thought, why not.
‘I’ve pretended to be an angel before, so pretending to be a fairy is relatively conscientious.’
She turned toward the children.
“Alright. This fairy will send you home. I just need to take you to that place called the Squirrel Tree, right?”
The children cheered.
“Yes! The Squirrel Tree!”
“Thank you, fairy!”
And so Radis set out to find the Squirrel Tree, leading the two adorable little ones with the spirits’ guidance.
Perhaps feeling at ease after meeting Radis, Daphne and Ashur held each other’s tiny hands tightly and bounced around their surroundings.
“Ashur, look at this! It’s a mushroom.”
“It’s a mushroom!”
“Ooh, there’s a bug too!”
“A, a bug…”
Radis stayed close behind the children, worried they might get hurt, and asked.
“But why are you two in a place like this without any adults?”
At her question, Daphne and Ashur, who had been examining a plump caterpillar, turned around. Then they said cheerfully.
“Older Sister and I were looking for the fairy door!”
“A magic door that can take you anywhere!”
“A door that can take you anywhere… So such a thing exists. But where were you trying to go through that door?”
Ashur raised his hand high.
“To see Jo-big brother!”
Daphne cleared her throat and explained again.
“We were trying to go meet Johannes. Crybaby Johannes!”
“Older Sister, if you call him a crybaby, Jo-big brother will cry again.”
“That’s exactly why Johannes is a crybaby.”
Daphne said maturely.
“Johannes is a crybaby who cries saying he misses us when we’re not beside him, cries with joy when we meet, and cries telling us not to leave when it’s time to part.”
Radis nodded with a smiling face.
“I see. If he cries that often, he can’t complain about being called a crybaby.”
“That’s right. But if there’s a magic door, Johannes won’t cry anymore! Because we can meet anytime.”
“Right!”
Ashur, who had been nodding excitedly, opened his mouth wide and yawned. It seemed Ashur was still too young to fight off the overwhelming sleepiness.
Radis asked Ashur, who was yawning repeatedly.
“Ashur, shall I carry you?”
Ashur blinked his sleepy eyes and gave her a cute smile, then spread his short little arms toward her. Radis carefully lifted the child and held him to her chest. A warm, soft warmth spread across her chest. It was a warmth that made her heart tingle for no reason.
Ashur rested his small head on her shoulder and, entrusting everything completely to her, murmured in a happy voice.
“Mommy’s scent…”
Radis, holding Ashur with one arm, extended her other hand to Daphne. Daphne shyly but firmly grasped Radis’s hand and asked.
“But fairy, why are you here?”
Radis blinked.
“Why am I here?”
She had momentarily forgotten because of meeting Daphne and Ashur. She had… wanted to find out the truth behind whatever Eve was planning. That’s why she had come this far.
‘But that wasn’t really it.’
Eve wouldn’t plan anything worth worrying about, would she? Radis knew that clearly too.
If it were her usual self, she would never have been anxious like this. She would have just waited peacefully until Eve revealed everything.
So in fact, there was another reason she had come this far.
“I was just… anxious, I think.”
Radis, who had been lost in thought for a moment, said slowly.
“I was worrying about whether I could become a good mother, and that worry brought me here.”
At her words, Daphne smiled brightly.
“Fairy, don’t worry. You’ll definitely become a good mother!”
Daphne’s smile was beautiful and lovely. Perhaps it might be the prettiest in the world.
Radis smiled following Daphne’s lead.
“Do you really think so?”
“Yes! Because you resemble our mother. And our mother is the most wonderful mother in the world!”
Ashur, who was half-asleep and snuggled in Radis’s arms, added a word.
“That’s right!”
Radis looked down at the two children with the warmest eyes possible. Strangely, the words of these two children she had met for the first time today seemed to ease her worries.
Daphne, who had been smiling like an angel, pointed in one direction with her finger.
“Oh, fairy! Over there, it’s the Squirrel Tree!”
Radis also looked in that direction. Before she knew it, she was in a familiar landscape. It was the edge of the garden of the Marquis of Gloria.
At the entrance of the Oak Grove, under a large Majestic Oak Tree, a woman was standing. She was looking up at the gradually setting sky. The woman standing under the burning red sunset was beautiful like a flower and also looked strong like a sword.
The woman turned toward them. Under the sunset, her red hair dyed with gentle light rippled magnificently, and her night-sky-like black eyes captured their figures. She waved happily toward Radis and the children. Radis, realizing something, let out a light exclamation.
“Ah…!”
Daphne and Ashur broke free from Radis’s embrace and ran quickly.
“Motherrrr…!”
“Mother!”
Daphne and Ashur’s mother spread her arms wide to welcome the children. She hugged her children tightly and sent a bright smile toward Radis.
“How about it, Radis. What kind of mother do I seem to be?”
Radis felt all her worries wash away completely. She shouted with a voice full of conviction.
“The most wonderful mother in the world!”
The woman smiled brightly.
“I’m glad you see me that way. I really worked hard for today.”
She spoke in a gentle, motherly voice.
“You should go back now. Everyone is waiting for you.”
She could feel Ban calling for her from behind. Radis nodded her head.
“Thank you so much. Because you worked so hard, I think I can find courage too…”
Her future self smiled brightly and said.
“That’s what I should be saying.”
