The Eldest Daughter Walks the Path of Flowers Episode 19

“I really don’t know, I don’t know anything!”

Kradieum Trading Company.

In front of the empty mana crystal warehouse, Hover was screaming at the top of his lungs, his entire body tied to a chair.

The figure in the black hood spoke.

“He really seems to not know anything.”

Encouraged by his words, Hover said pitifully.

“How many times have I told you. I don’t know! That day, at Lord Russel’s banquet, I suffered some terrible ordeal and my head was cracked! That’s why my memory of that day completely disappeared!”

Hover pleaded while tears streamed down his face.

“Not just my head, but my shoulder was dislocated too. I must have been tortured severely!”

The black hood said in a cold voice.

“So you spilled everything because your head was cracked and shoulder dislocated.”

“No, that can’t be!”

“Otherwise, how could all the mana crystals you’d been collecting for tribute be completely stolen?”

“That, that’s…”

At that moment, the white mask sitting across from Hover spoke up.

“Hover Kradieum.”

“Yes, yes…!”

“You’ve done very well for us until now. You helped us with mana crystal supply and demand in this region.”

“That’s right. How much have I…!”

“And you also secretly siphoned off mana crystals in between.”

“…!”

The white mask let out a deep sigh.

“Did you take us for fools? If you had just done what you were told, it would have been fine, but your tail was too long and got stepped on. Try to remember well. If you spilled because your shoulder was dislocated, shall we dislocate it once more to see if something else comes out?”

At his words, the black hood approached Hover.

The black hood gagged Hover’s mouth.

Amid the terrible sounds echoing, the white mask rose from his seat.

He casually rifled through the mail that was placed on Hover’s desk, one by one.

A letter caught his hand.

“Tilrod Family…”

It was the letter Margaret had sent to Hover.

The white mask leisurely tore open the envelope with a letter opener and read through the letter inside.

“His daughter spent a night at Kradieum Trading Company… and that rumor might block her marriage prospects… so he wants compensation for it?”

The white mask looked at the black hood.

The black hood rolled his eyes around as if trying to recall something, then spoke.

“If it’s the Tilrod Family… it’s a very fallen family. Perfect for making such petty demands.”

“I see. Still, it’s a family that once produced a hero who was a founding contributor, but they’ve become quite pathetic.”

“If it’s that family’s daughter… I believe she’s only around ten years old…”

The black hood looked at Hover with disgust-filled eyes.

Hover, who had been drooling from pain while biting down hard on the gag, shook his head frantically as if to deny it.

The black hood punched Hover’s bandaged back of the head with his fist.

“You deserve to die, you bastard!”

“Grrrgh!”

The white mask approached Hover, whose eyes had turned red with pain, and removed the gag.

“How about it. Do you remember anything?”

“Sir, I really don’t know. I can’t remember anything!”

Hover pleaded while crying like a child.

The white mask watched such Hover with cold eyes, then took something out from his chest.

The black hood’s eyes widened.

“That’s…!”

What the white mask took out was a black orb.

The white mask said.

“You worked hard all this time, but it’s unfortunate how it ended.”

He threw the orb at Hover’s feet.

The orb made a cracking sound as it broke and spewed out a black substance like ink.

“What? What is this!”

Hover, tied to the chair, struggled frantically.

However, the black substance flickered its tongue like flames and devoured Hover.

“Ahhh, ahhhhh!”

Hover saw his legs burn bright red and turn to ash like completely burned firewood in an instant.

And he also saw the black flames rapidly grow larger and engulf him.

“Darkness is true rest and peace. Everything that stands in our way shall become offerings to darkness and be buried in secrecy.”

The white mask and black hood chanted this as they left Kradieum Trading Company.

They stood at a distance and watched the black flames devour the trading company building, burning it all and turning it to ash.

The white mask said.

“The one who stepped on Hover Kradieum’s tail must be either Lord Russel or the 3rd Prince.”

“It’s fortunate that he didn’t know much.”

“If only the mana crystals were stolen, that would be rather fortunate. But if that’s not the case…”

The white mask said while lost in deep thought.

“For now, we’ll have to watch the situation. Neither of them are opponents we can approach carelessly.”

He raised his hand.

In his hand was Margaret’s letter.

“Tilrod Family…”
