The Eldest Daughter Walks the Path of Flowers Episode 92

Eve said.

“First, we’ll raise the building to four stories high, and lay white marble on the lobby floor. Then we’ll spread a bright red carpet over it. We’ll install Bellos mountain glass in the windows, and since we can expand the grounds as much as we want, we could make the garden quite vast.”

Radis said.

“The current two stories are sufficient. As I mentioned before, any sturdy wood will do for the flooring. The walls can stay as they are, though we’ll need to repair the stable roof.”

Jacob looked bewildered.

He was from the Architecture Guild who had come to discuss renovating the tavern building on the outskirts of Luare with Radis.

But Eve had suddenly butted in and was saying absolutely ridiculous things.

Radis sighed and said.

“Please ignore the Lord Marquis’s words… no, consider them a joke.”

At her words, Jacob laughed heartily and nodded.

“I had no idea His Lordship the Marquis was such a cheerful person. I’ve found some suitable timber for flooring and brought a few good options to show you.”

As Jacob took out wood samples from his large bag and laid them out, Eve persistently asked.

“Didn’t you bring any marble?”

Radis grabbed Eve’s arm and pulled him down to sit.

“Lord Marquis, how many times must I tell you? We don’t need marble or glass windows. It’s a tavern building! It can’t bear that weight.”

“Then we can renovate it so it can bear the weight, can’t we?”

Eve looked at Jacob with an arrogant tone and asked.

“That’s possible, right?”

Jacob, now in a difficult position, said.

“To do that, we wouldn’t be renovating but would need to tear down the tavern and build a new structure, Your Lordship.”

Radis quickly interjected.

“Lord Marquis, you promised, remember? ‘Light renovation.'”

“…”

Eve, who had an expression as if he’d bitten his tongue, opened his mouth again.

“We’ll repaint the walls then. I can’t compromise on that!”

“Oh my, really…”

Radis had no intention of using that building as a base for long.

While it was the most decent building near the Monster Forest, it was still quite far from the forest.

She planned to use that location only as a temporary dwelling for a while, so she really wanted just light renovation.

Just fixing the broken parts.

But with Eve interfering, things were getting bigger than expected.

“You there, write it down quickly. Repainting the walls.”

“Ah, yes yes…”

Jacob, unable to refuse Lord Russel’s orders, had no choice but to add ‘repainting walls’ to the contract.

“Well done. You work quickly.”

“Th-thank you!”

Watching them, Radis shook her head in dismay.

In the end, Jacob had to stand up with a contract that had become considerably longer than originally planned due to various additional orders.

“Then I’ll proceed as written.”

“Mm, thank you for your trouble.”

“…Please take care of us.”

As soon as Jacob disappeared, Eve completely changed his expression and clung to Radis.

“Radis, let’s have dinner together!”

“…”

“Hm? Tonight’s dinner is venison that you like! Good meat came in, so I told them not to spare any and bring out plenty.”

Radis narrowed her eyes and looked at Eve.

Because of Eve’s arbitrary behavior, the building renovation period had become longer than expected.

That meant recruitment would have to be delayed, and all plans would be pushed back little by little.

But she didn’t think of it as interference.

Eve was doing this because he wanted to treat Radis even a little better.

Though it was slightly bothersome.

‘What does it matter? I’ll just take it slowly.’

Radis smiled and linked arms with Eve.

“Shall we?”

When she smiled, Eve, feeling relieved, also smiled brightly.

“I had them prepare it by the greenhouse. Let’s go!”

While walking from the estate toward the greenhouse, Eve looked truly happy.

“Radis, the sky is incredibly beautiful.”

Radis also raised her head to look up at the sky.

As Eve said, white fluffy clouds were floating in the clear blue sky, making it beautiful.

“Was there a tree like this on this path?”

Eve stopped walking and looked up at a cherry plum tree blooming with white flowers.

“Buds formed recently, and now the flowers have bloomed.”

“This is pretty too.”

“Do you like it? Look your fill while they’re blooming. Flowers fall quickly.”

“The flowers fall? When?”

“Well, they last about a week, I think.”

Eve seemed shocked by that obvious statement.

“The flowers… only last a week? But it’s a flowering tree? Don’t flowering trees have flowers blooming all year round?”

“What kind of nonsense is that? When flowers fall, fruit forms, and when the fruit falls too, the leaves wither and fall as winter comes.”

“Fruit grows here? Like apples?”

“Since it’s a cherry plum tree, fruit similar to cherries will grow…”

“I didn’t know. Why didn’t I know this until now?”

Eve examined the cherry plum tree’s flowers with a serious face, then carefully selected and picked one small white flower to place on top of Radis’s head.

“Lord Marquis… What are you doing?”

Eve said in a serious voice.

“Radis, this flower is the prettiest flower on this tree.”

“But why did you pick it…?”

“Because it’s the prettiest, I’m giving it to you.”

Watching Eve walk the estate path they’d traveled dozens of times while looking around in wonder like an adventurer exploring a paradise, Radis couldn’t help but laugh.

It was a common and beautiful spring.

Among the dark green leaves of the camellia tree, camellia flowers as large as fists were blooming abundantly.

Whenever the wind blew, the sweet fragrance from the seringa and lilac drifted over, and the small flowers of the fruit trees were lovely as stars.

And in that scenery, Eve, who couldn’t stay still for a moment and was busy looking around here and there, was like a large black dog excited by spring.

“Here.”

Before she could stop him, Eve broke off a branch of brilliantly bloomed camellia flowers and placed it in her hands.

Coming to her senses, Radis sighed looking at the mercilessly broken camellia branch.

“The gardener must have carefully tended to it…”

“It’s my garden, isn’t it? Everything is grown to be looked at like this.”

What could she do when the estate owner said so.

Besides, the sight of Eve casually breaking flowers from tall trees just by reaching out was delightful to watch.

‘Is it because he’s tall? He really makes quite a picture.’

Eve’s efforts to overcome his black clothing obsession seemed to be going quite smoothly.

Though his pants were black, his loose silk shirt was a soft cream color.

The same color as the magnolia blooming beautifully above Eve’s head.

Wearing a gentle shirt instead of thick, pitch-black clothes, Eve no longer looked threatening.

His hair, trimmed with April’s help, also looked quite neat.

“Radis.”

Among the white petals, Eve looked at her and smiled brightly.

Seeing him smiling among the flowers, the word “beautiful” naturally came to mind.

“Take this one too!”

Eve’s smile as he held out a large white flower was dazzling.

Looking at him with a pleased expression, Radis thought.

‘Why did Eve’s first love have to be a black angel? Aren’t angel wings usually white? How wonderful it would have been if it were a white angel.’

Because Eve picked one flower after another that he showed her, by the time they arrived at the greenhouse, Radis had a large bouquet in her hands.

A gardener who happened to be passing by the greenhouse took the bouquet, offering to trim the small branches.

As Eve had said, dinner was a feast that generously used venison.

The meal enjoyed while looking at the garden where spring had fully arrived felt very peaceful and happy.

“Radis.”

Suddenly, Eve, who had been looking at Radis across the table, called her name.

“I like being with you the most.”

Radis, who had been cutting her venison sauté, stared blankly at Eve while still holding her fork and knife.

Eve’s hair was disheveled from wandering around among the garden trees, with some yellow pollen stuck to it.

In the soft light of the setting sun, Eve smiling innocently looked like a beautiful shepherd beloved by a goddess.

‘How can he be so different from when I first saw him?’

She wondered who that dark and intimidating man she had first met really was.

Radis reached out to brush the pollen from his hair and said.

“I feel the same way.”

When Radis’s hand touched him, Eve lowered his head and rubbed his forehead against her hand repeatedly.

At the sight of him acting like a large puppy who didn’t know what to do with joy from just a touch, Radis couldn’t help but laugh.

The after-dinner dessert was pudding made with purple violets.

But Allen had brought two trays.

“Is there another dessert?”

Allen set down a tray in front of Eve, who asked this question.

When he lifted the dome-shaped cover, there was a letter inside.

Allen said with a bright smile.

“It just arrived.”

Eve broke the seal and checked the letter’s contents.

She could see the gentle smile that had been on his lips gradually disappearing.

‘What is it? Is it something serious?’

Since Eve’s expression didn’t look very good, Radis tried not to ask what kind of letter it was.

However, after reading the letter to the end, Eve handed it to Radis.
