A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 101

“What’s appearing?”

At Adelin’s question, Tie restlessly stared behind her.

But from a moment ago, there really was something there.

Something that only Tie’s eyes could see at this moment.

‘Before, Tie didn’t know what that was either.’

But now she knew.

Because she had met Eve, Basto’s dead wife, in Pearl City.

Tie lowered her voice and said.

“It’s like, exactly like a ghost, no, a spirit…”

“Don’t joke around.”

But at that moment, Adelin cut off Tie’s words.

Her voice was trembling finely before she knew it.

With bloodshot eyes and her jaw tensed, Adelin said.

“That’s my mother. No matter how young you are, that kind of joke is…”

Tie’s eyebrows drooped.

“It’s not a joke…!”

When she looked at the members for help, Nordics stepped forward with a serious face.

“The child’s words are true.”

Adelin stared at Nordics with an expressionless face.

“That child is a mage. More precisely, a necromancer who handles dark attribute magic. She has often seen the dead before…”

“Is this all?”

However, Adelin’s response was full of sharp edges.

“I tried to help you people. Is this meager thing the price for that?”

“Look here, Adelin. That’s not it…”

“If this isn’t mockery of my mother and me, then what is it?”

Finally, tears that had been held back for so long dripped from Adelin’s eyes.

Her clenched fists were trembling finely.

“I am…”

Staggering, she sat down on the floor with trembling shoulders.

It was when Tie, who had also started crying, was stamping her feet, not knowing what to do.

“…”

The woman who had been standing behind Adelin approached Tie.

Then she took out a white handkerchief from her bosom and placed it on Tie’s hand.

The woman looked at Adelin with a sad smile.

As if asking her to deliver the handkerchief to her.

Tie hesitated, then carefully approached Adelin.

And offered the handkerchief to her as she sobbed.

“Sister, this…”

Adelin stared at Tie with reddened eyes.

Then the next moment, she briefly stopped breathing.

Thousands of small lights were gathering above Astie’s palm.

The light clustered as if wrapping around something, then created an object.

“…Ha.”

A short exclamation burst from Adelin’s mouth.

The light that had gathered on Tie’s palm was a handkerchief.

The handkerchief she had personally placed in her mother’s hands the day she became the Princess’s maid and left Jedo.

“How, how is this even possible.”

“She keeps crying while looking at you, sister.”

“What…?”

“Because you’re crying, sister, I think the ghost is sad too. She’s been looking at you and crying over and over since earlier…”

Adelin’s face crumpled endlessly.

She grasped Tie’s small hand with trembling hands.

The warmth of the handkerchief was being transmitted through the child’s fingers.

“Ugh, sob…”

Her breathing became labored, and she finally bent down and buried her face in the handkerchief.

“Mom, mom…”

A familiar scent wafted from the handkerchief.

It was unmistakably her mother’s scent that she remembered.

Adelin crouched there for a long time.

Holding Tie tightly while crying out loud.

Finally stopping her tears, she asked in a hoarse voice.

“Is mother, is mom really by my side?”

Tie sniffled and nodded her head.

“I, I… didn’t know.”

She had only thought they were assassins or watchers.

So at one time, she had found it strange.

How could trained assassins fail to hide their presence like that. Something was odd.

But now she seemed to understand.

‘She wasn’t failing to hide it.’

She did it on purpose.

To let her know that she was here.

Because that was her mother.

Adelin tightly gripped the handkerchief Tie had given her.

Then after taking a deep breath, she asked.

“Can you perhaps hear what mother is saying?”

Astie stared behind Adelin.

But soon shook her head with a dejected face.

“I can’t hear her. Her lips are moving like this, but I can’t hear any voice at all.”

“…I see.”

“But she’s been pointing over there with her finger since earlier!”

Tie gestured diagonally.

Adelin’s eyes became serious as she turned her head in that direction.

“That’s toward the Lord’s Castle.”

The direction Tie pointed was where the road leading to the Lord’s Castle was.

Adelin’s eyes calmly settled.

She briefly caught her breath.

Then after organizing her emotions, she stood up.

“Let’s go. If we delay any longer, the interrogation will begin.”

Before entering the room.

She had roughly overheard Agavert’s conversation in the corridor.

If Reginald interrogated Veil, Agavert might really be expelled from The Order.

“Let’s rescue your colleague before the interrogation begins.”

Enzo stood up following her.

“Would that be possible?”

“Whether it’s possible or not, we have to try first, don’t we?”

The Agavert Members exchanged glances.

“…Thank you. Truly.”

At Raul’s words that followed, Adelin shook her head as if it was fine.

“It’s okay. I was planning to help from the beginning anyway.”

“Pardon?”

“When your colleague punched Reginald. Honestly, it felt refreshing.”

Basto let out a short sigh.

It was because the image of Reginald’s two teeth falling out at once flashed through his mind.

“Let’s check the underground prison first. If your colleague isn’t in the underground prison, we’ll have to climb to the top of the castle tower…”

“She says no!”

But then Tie, who had been staring into space, jumped up.

The child shook her head for some reason.

“Pretty auntie says it’s not the top and not underground either. She shook her head like this, like this.”

Adelin’s eyes narrowed.

“Neither the spire nor the underground prison?”

But excluding those two places, there was nowhere suitable to confine someone.

However, she soon let out a short gasp.

“No way.”

“Do you have somewhere in mind?”

Adelin stared at Nordics.

“I do. It’s a place Reginald showed interest in when he first entered the Lord’s Castle, saying it would make a good makeshift prison.”

That was the stables located in the rear courtyard of the Lord’s Castle.

The place where her father had personally raised and cared for his beloved horses while he was alive.

“The stables. I think it’s the stables in the Lord’s Castle’s rear courtyard.”

In the darkening forest.

Basto walked with his body crouched as low as possible.

He was worried that tree branches might touch Tie’s face as she rode on his back.

“The path is rougher than I expected.”

At Raul’s words as he walked ahead, Adelin beside him nodded.

“This is the only path behind the domain that Reginald doesn’t know about. There’s no choice.”

They were deliberately taking the long way around to avoid the soldiers’ eyes.

The forest path endlessly repeated steep uphill and downhill slopes.

Because of this, Nordics, who had been following for the first 20 minutes, gave up halfway and returned to the village.

He planned to pack their belongings and prepare the carriage while the members rescued Veil.

So they could immediately escape the village if anything went wrong.

“We’re almost there. That wooden fence over there.”

Enzo nodded after confirming the place Adelin pointed to.

In the distance, among the thick weeds and bushes that had grown up to an adult man’s waist height.

A fence that looked like planks joined together was visible.

“If we just follow that fence, we’ll reach the rear courtyard quickly. There will probably be guards though…”

“We’ll handle them. Don’t worry.”

Adelin reluctantly nodded.

“Tie, hold on tight.”

Meanwhile, at Basto’s voice, Tie wrapped her arms more firmly around his neck.

That’s when it happened.

“Grrgh, aaaaaaah-!”

A piercing scream came from not far away.

At the voice that sounded like someone being tortured, Tie’s face turned pale.
