The Eldest Daughter Walks Down The Flower Path - Chapter 11
Chapter 11
Translator: Yonnee
—
Even amidst the chaos, Radis’ expression was serene.
But it didn’t mean that this serenity was something that she always had before.
She wasn’t the same Radis who always had her head down, with a distracted, anxious look on her face.
Right now, Radis was looking at Klein with her chin up, her eyes unwavering.
Radis opened her lips once more.
“I am not David Tilrod. My name is Radis.”
Klein still had a dumbfounded look on his face, still not understanding the situation.
“Lady Radis, what are you doing? David’s admission to the Imperial Academy is an esteemed honor that his family should also celebrate. But you… you tore up the certificate of admission…!”
“Mister Klein. No, Mister Klein Rockton.”
Klein tried to continue berating her, but Radis cut him off.
“I remember you. You kindly guided me to the test site while I was looking for the field where the practical test would be held. You even patted me on the shoulder after the exam.”
“……”
“It’s not just now. It wasn’t David back then, either. It was me.”
Bang!
The loud noise from the stairs drew people’s attention.
It was the sound of the door closing behind Jurich.
But it wasn’t just her standing there.
So was David.
David, who had yet to grasp the situation, raised his voice cheerfully with his arms outstretched.
“Yes, it’s me! The Tilrod family’s darling son, David Tilrod!”
He ignored Jurich’s hand even though he was supposed to escort her. Then, he walked down the stairs, straight to the admissions officer.
“Are you the admissions officer? Nice to meet you! Where is my certificate? Why are you so still over there?”
As he approached them, David saw Radis and grimaced.
“What—Why are you here? Why are you wearing my armor? You’re kicking up a fuss?!”
Radis shook her head.
“No. I’m going back to my room.”
“Well, good! Because today is my day!”
Humming lightheartedly, David looked at Klein.
“So, my admission certificate?”
On David’s outstretched hand, Radis placed the torn piece of paper.
Bang!
This time, it wasn’t from Jurich again.
It was the sound of the door banging behind Margaret as she left.
“Ha ha ha.”
As if it was a sigh, Radis laughed despondently.
“What… So it was that easy?”
She was looking back at what just happened in this dream of hers before she died.
And it made her recall the memories of her whole life.
So she closed her eyes.
It was easy.
It was simple.
The only thing she had to do was to stop closing her lips and shutting her eyes.
“I can’t afford to die now.”
Radis lay in her bed with her arms wide open, looking at the evening sky through the small window. Her face was serene.
She never felt so relieved.
But it was strange…
The dream still hadn’t ended.
“Crazy… b*tch!”
Margaret, with her whole face red, kicked the door and rushed inside.
Radis stared at her, who was running wild with her forehead wrinkled.
‘Even though my life’s flashing behind my eyes, I don’t want to see this again.’
“You’re insane! You can’t do that without being insane! How could you do that to your brother?!”
Margaret screeched at the top of her lungs.
“How could you ruin every single path your brother takes? Can you still call yourself David’s older sister?! Do you even know what you did?!! The admission has been canceled! And besides that our family has been branded as illegal test takers! All because of YOU!!!”
Radis smiled bitterly.
“Why is it because of me?”
“Wh… What?”
“It was you who asked me to do that—to take the test in David’s place. Did you even know what you were asking for? You wanted an unqualified kid to enter the academy.”
Radis stood up from her seat.
Her eyes were so cold that Margaret flinched.
Radis said in a stern voice.
Blinded by greed, Margaret glared at Radis with her mouth agape.
But Radis didn’t shy away from that stare.
Radis hoped that her feelings would be conveyed to Margaret if only she could see beyond her own eyes.
She wanted Margaret to accept and understand what she just said. Even if this was a dream. Even if this was only her life flashing behind her eyes. She hoped for Margaret to realize it.
Then, Margaret finally spoke.
“You… deserve… to die…!!”
As Margaret shouted, she raised her hand.
Radis could have avoided it, but she didn’t on purpose.
‘It’s just a dream anyway.’
