The Eldest Daughter Walks Down The Flower Path - Chapter 143
Chapter 143

Yves’ vest looked black at first glance, but at close inspection, it was actually dark green.
“Ugh!”
Banging his chest out of frustration, Yves held the hem of his vest and shook it with a bitter expression on his face.
“Yes! It’s green! Why, is it weird?!”
“No, it looks good on you.”
“Then good.”
“You’ve consistently been wearing black every day, but is there something going on?”
“I think I need to practice a little.”
Yves fiddled with the vest obsessively as if its green hue would fall off if he shook it hard enough.
“I’m very uncomfortable, but this much is fine.”
“I-I see. You look alright though.”
“Ahhh!”
All of a sudden, Yves yelled and ruffled his bangs.
The curtain-like bangs that served to cover his eyes covered him up even more.
“If you see me wearing colored clothes or something, don’t point it out. It bothers me even more when someone brings it up!”
She didn’t expect that he would react this much. Rather flustered, Radis nodded.
“Alright, please calm down.”
“I’m being serious here. And I’m calm! Do I look like I’m not calm? Me?!”
“Nope.”
Radis patted him on the arm.
“And really, you look good.”
“Thanks.”
Yves managed to calm down only after he had taken a deep breath and after his bangs had doubled in thickness after being ruffled so much.
“…Anyway, don’t ever go to the White Dragon Order. Got it?”
“I’ll try thinking about it…”
“What’s there to think about! Never! I’m dead set against it!”
Radis watched, bewildered as Yves walked away while shouting as such, even going as far as to make an X with his arms.
The words that Yves imparted to her sounded much too emotional.
Radis recalled Daniel and the other White Dragon knight at the new year’s ball.
They looked tough, and it didn’t seem like they were being restrained by anything.
Even if it’s true that the emperor would impose such a restraint, Radis thought that it wouldn’t be as bad as Yves was painting it out to be.
Besides that, she had already been taught the way of the imperial swordsmanship by Daniel Sheldon.
She admired the traditional swordsmanship technique, and she liked how knights preserved it and passed it on.
If she were to think of it as paying back for what she had already been taught, she was willing to accept the price resolutely.

“Lady Radis, sit here!”
When Radis returned, the maids surrounded her boisterously.
“The tea has gotten cold. Shall I heat it up for you?”
“Was it cold for you in the hallway?”
“Let’s get a blanket for you, Milady!”
Now wrapped snugly in a blanket, Radis sighed inwardly.
This, too, was also because of Margaret.
Word had spread about Margaret’s ‘revolt’, and the people of the mansion had since been treating Radis as if she was a two-year-old baby.
It’s as if a breeze would pass by, and she’d get blown away. Or if she were to be held just a little tightly, she’d explode. Just how much must they fret over her from all sides…
The only thing their fretting had achieved was to distress Radis.
Berry took out a box of cake and set it down in front of Radis.
It was the last of the cakes that Olivier had gifted her.
Berry read the card on the box.
“This one is… a butter cake flavored with rum that’s aged with vanilla beans.”
“Kyaah!”
“It looks so delicious!”
Berry smiled tenderly and sliced one up for Radis’s plate.
“Lady Radis, please eat a lot!”
Somewhat amazed, Radis looked up at the maids.
She had left most of Olivier’s gifts to the cargo ship that’s set to bring their stuff back to the south, but she was forced to bring the cakes since they would quickly go bad.
She was dubious at first. She wasn’t sure whether all the cakes would be finished before they’d go past their expiration date.
However, the cakes all disappeared in a flash, and now they’re down to the last one.
It’s all thanks to the help of the mansion’s maids.
‘Wow, that looks too much…’
Radis moved her body a lot for exercise, so she ate just as much as she was active. Even so, she felt bloated after eating several slices of the cakes.
On the other hand, the maids were cheering as they looked at the cake that’s full of soft butter cream without showing any signs that they were getting tired of sweets.
Picking up a flower made out of buttercream with her fork, Berry suddenly said,
“But… aren’t we eating too much? It’s going to be dinner soon.”
And Melody answered. She’s on her second slice.
“It’s a-okay! Don’t we have separate stomachs for the main course and desserts anyway?”
“Hehe, I guess so?”
April gently shook her head at the two girls, then she poured a cup of lemon tea for Radis.
“Gosh, as for me, I’m surrendering now. It’s really good to be young, huh?”
Recalling that April was one of the maids in charge of the marquis’s clothes, Radis asked.
“April, the Marquis is wearing a green vest today.”
As she was holding the teapot, April smiled.
“That’s right. He never wears anything besides black, but he’s taken on a big challenge today.”
“What’s going on so suddenly? Has he ever done that before?”
