The Eldest Daughter Walks the Path of Flowers Episode 191

Robert walked over with heavy steps and placed one hand on Radis’s shoulder. He looked down at Radis with eyes reddened from mixed emotions, then barely managed to say these words.

“…Congratulations.”

At those brief words of congratulations, Radis felt like she might burst into tears for some reason. But she smiled brightly and nodded her head vigorously.

“Thank you, Robert.”

She could feel Robert’s hand on her shoulder tighten with strength. He gazed at her with gray eyes that had become slightly moist and transparent, speaking in a gentle voice.

“Don’t worry. You’ll do well.”

“Captain, do you really think so?”

“Of course. What have you ever failed to accomplish?”

Robert burst into hearty laughter and patted her shoulder.

“Whenever things get tough, just tell me. I’ll be with you for life, so don’t worry.”

“Captain…”

Noeri, dressed in a cute dress, quickly came to Radis’s side and stood close to her.

“That’s right, Countess! Please tell me too when things get difficult!”

As if this was the moment they’d been waiting for, the members of the Gloria Mercenary Corps swarmed over.

“Sister, move aside a bit!”

Starting with Thierry, who had now become an indispensable force of the Gloria Mercenary Corps.

“Countess, congratulations!”

The mercenaries, including Laszlo who wore a splendid uniform and was no longer shabby at all, chattered noisily.

“Countess, please come back soon.”

“As expected, it feels too empty without you here, Countess!”

Daniel placed his hand firmly on Laszlo’s shoulder as he said this.

“My disciples, saying it feels empty.”

Daniel, the swordsmanship instructor of the mercenary group, smiled contentedly.

“I failed to properly understand my disciples’ hearts. When we return to the Garden, I’ll train you until that emptiness disappears.”

The members united as one and glared at Laszlo with terrifying eyes. And Laszlo shrank like a turtle.

“No, that’s…”

“You bastard, just wait and see.”

Having calmed the members down, Daniel came to stand in front of Radis with a pleased smile. Then he looked at her with the warmest eyes possible and offered his congratulations.

“My most proud disciple… truly, I don’t know what to say in the face of this great blessing. I’m so happy. I sincerely congratulate you.”

“Master…”

Daniel couldn’t overcome his surging emotions and spread his arms wide to embrace his disciple tightly. Then he patted her back with a smile filled with deep emotion.

“My disciple, don’t worry. I’ll always be by your side.”

Radis leaned against her warm teacher’s embrace and nodded happily.

“Thank you, Master.”

Daniel spoke in an affectionate voice.

“For now, I’ll teach the child how to read and write.”

“What?”

Radis’s eyes widened in surprise. Her gaze naturally turned to the elves who occupied one table. The elves were looking around at the people with curiosity, chatting quietly among themselves.

“Being in this brilliant joy, I feel as if I’m flapping my wings infinitely.”

“Even after the banquet ends, today’s joy won’t disappear but will remain as stars in our hearts.”

That didn’t seem quite right.

The members seemed to think so too. Everyone jumped up.

“Master, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?”

“That absolutely cannot happen!”

Daniel looked at his disciples with innocent blinking eyes.

“Why can’t it happen?”

Why can’t it…?

‘We can’t turn the heirs of the Duke’s house and the Count’s house into those elves!’

But unfortunately, no one could say those words to the Master’s face.

The brave members of the Gloria Mercenary Corps realized. This was exactly the moment when loyalty and devotion to the Countess were needed…!

“Master.”

Thierry stepped forward with a determined face.

“I realized something today.”

“Thierry, what did you realize?”

“I want to become stronger! I want to become stronger and protect the Count’s house. For that, I need Master’s teachings!”

Laszlo, understanding Thierry’s intention, also stepped forward with a stern face.

“I’ll help! Please work me harder, Master! For the future of the Count’s house!”

“Master, me too!”

“Anyone can teach a kid how to read and write, but only Master can teach us swordsmanship!”

Daniel looked flustered at first, but soon became moved by the members’ passionate appeals.

“Alright.”

He nodded vigorously.

“Yes. I too have realized from seeing you all. If I truly think about the future of the Count’s house, doing my best in my position should come first!”

“Of course, Master!”

“Sob…”

“Laszlo, why are you crying?”

“From happiness, from happiness…”

This was the moment when the Gloria Mercenary Corps, which would later produce countless warriors and knights, truly leaped forward to become a legendary mercenary group.

Meanwhile, Radis was also moved. She looked at each face of the members who had voluntarily entered hell for her sake and sent them grateful glances.

‘I won’t forget your sacrifice!’

Eve Russel, who had appeared at some point, naturally separated Radis and Daniel.

“Excuse me for a moment!”

Then he gently grasped Radis’s shoulders and turned her to send her to the noble ladies.

“My lady, Her Majesty the Empress and the Lady are waiting for you.”

Elizabeth rushed to her as if she had been waiting.

“Lady Radis! Oh, no. Lord of Gloria! Congratulations…!”

“Your Majesty the Empress, thank you.”

Elizabeth looked at Radis with eyes filled with wonder and showered her with questions.

“When did you find out you were expecting a child?”

“About a month ago.”

“Wow, I see! I can’t tell at all from looking… Will it be a boy or a girl? Oh, I’m so excited!”

Radis smiled, thinking of Daphne and Ashur.

“I’m really looking forward to it too. I want to meet them soon.”

After Her Majesty the Empress came Lady Meriel. Meriel spoke with dignity.

“Lord of Gloria, shall we talk for a moment?”

“Of course.”

Meriel led Radis toward a quiet balcony at the edge of the banquet hall. Radis, puzzled, asked.

“Lady, what’s the matter?”

“Nothing’s the matter.”

“What?”

Meriel seated Radis in a chair and spoke affectionately.

“I brought you out because I thought you needed to rest a bit.”

Radis, who had been momentarily dazed, couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Meriel chuckled as she watched her.

“Yes. Laugh a lot.”

“Thank you, Lady. But I’m really fine.”

“Is that so? Still, I can’t let you go back easily. Sit here for a while and be this Lady’s conversation partner.”

Meriel reached out and firmly grasped Radis’s hand. The old lady’s hand was soft and warm as always.

Meriel, who had been stroking Radis’s hand several times, spoke in a gentle voice.

“Dear, could you show me your hands?”

“…My hands?”

Radis was a bit embarrassed, but since she couldn’t refuse the Grand Lady’s request, she extended her hands to show them. Radis’s hands, which handled weapons, were considerably rougher than those of ordinary noble ladies.

Radis spoke carefully.

“They’re not very ladylike, are they?”

“Not ladylike? Radis, you are the finest of ladies. This is just like you. I’m simply in admiration.”

Meriel, who had been looking down at Radis’s hands, grasped them tightly. Then she whispered in a low voice.

“I know what people are saying about you. Don’t worry about it anymore. This kind of matter is best handled by an elder.”

It was about the rumors caused by the people of the Tilrod Family. Radis smiled gently.

“Grand Lady, you really don’t need to do that. I’m fine.”

“You don’t need to worry about it. This isn’t a difficult matter. What’s needed here isn’t forgiveness. It’s proper conduct. You just focus on taking care of your health.”

The Grand Lady was firm. Radis had no choice but to nod in agreement.

“Yes, that’s a good decision.”

Meriel slowly straightened her back and looked up at the sky.

It was already the middle of the night. In the sky that seemed draped with dark blue velvet, a large pearl-like moon hung suspended. The banquet hall inside the glass doors was bustling, but outside was strangely quiet. Between the music flowing from the banquet hall, the occasional sound of insects could be heard, and the pearl-colored moon scattered pure white moonlight gently like covering the entire world with a thin blanket.

Meriel, who had been watching that scene, suddenly turned her head to look at Radis and spoke.

“Proper conduct is simple enough. But forgiveness is truly difficult. Don’t you think so?”
