A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 104

“Ppupppu!”

As the soldier’s grip loosened, Tie quickly hid behind Ppupppu.

Then she hurriedly raised her head to examine Ppupppu.

A height even taller than Uncle Basto.

An ornate elephant mask covering above the neck.

Moonlight-colored hair flowing beneath the mask.

At Ppupppu’s appearance looking different from usual, Tie gulped.

[Insolent fool. I hope you’re prepared to pay the price.]

Ppupppu muttered and quietly raised one hand.

Then the patterns densely covering his skin transformed into red mist and quickly enveloped the vicinity.

[Don’t worry.]

The corner of Ppupppu’s mouth visible beneath the mask curved into a menacing arc.

[I’ll devour all of your fear.]

Then the eyes of the soldiers near the stables simultaneously lost focus.

“What the hell is that?!”

Reginald, who had been watching the situation, shouted.

He unconsciously stepped back and grabbed Letia’s sleeve.

The battle was still raging before his eyes.

“What the hell is that thing?!”

Veil Theodore.

The mysterious assailant who had suddenly thrown a punch at him was still taking down Reginald’s soldiers one by one.

Of course, the more he did so, the more soldiers rushed at him, but,

“Huff, Kamang. You’re quite useful, aren’t you?”

The problem was the mysterious glass barrier that had appeared moments ago.

Blocked by the barrier, Reginald’s soldiers couldn’t lay a finger on Veil.

“H-how is this happening…?”

Reginald, feeling dizzy, staggered in place.

When he first regained consciousness after fainting.

Reginald gave orders as soon as he opened his eyes.

‘Lock that bastard up at the top of the tower immediately! Torture him to the brink of death to find out his identity-!!’

But soon a problem arose.

‘M-My Lord! The tower door won’t open.’

‘What do you mean?! How can a perfectly fine tower door suddenly not open?!’

‘I don’t know either, the key that worked fine until yesterday suddenly…!’

The iron door installed at the tower entrance had broken overnight.

When told they’d have to completely destroy the door to get inside, Reginald had no choice but to change his plan.

‘Then tie him up in the underground prison! The torture is…’

‘M-My Lord!’

However, the soldiers sent down to the underground prison returned in just a few minutes.

‘All the prison bars have rusted away. There’s not a single place to confine him…!’

‘What?!’

It had been quite a while since anyone was imprisoned in the underground prison.

But did it make sense for all the bars to rust and break overnight?

Actually, he had thought something was strange from that point on.

But he could only dismiss it as his imagination.

If it wasn’t coincidence, there was no way to explain all these events.

‘But, but why exactly…?’

Reginald’s eyes turned anxiously forward.

“Ahhh! My Lord! Please save us!”

“Run! Retreat for now!”

His private soldiers were pleading desperately right before his eyes.

The red mist covering the air, and the powerful barrier deployed around Veil Theodore’s group.

Reginald, he was losing.

“…This is impossible.”

Actually, he knew it too.

That they weren’t opponents to be taken lightly.

That was because he had already confirmed Veil’s mercenary registration that a soldier had brought.

‘Agavert, you say? That bastard we locked up in the stables?’

Reginald didn’t know, but his watching aide told him.

That Agavert were monsters who had made even the Paladins of the Gate surrender, despite being a new mercenary group.

‘My Lord. This seems…’

The aide repeatedly warned Reginald.

That Agavert was precisely the mercenary group with a rising reputation these days.

Hearing this, Reginald became somewhat anxious.

‘So you’re saying his comrades might be nearby?’

‘Wouldn’t that be the case? Moreover, in the village…’

And soon his premonition proved correct.

‘My Lord! This is terrible! There are testimonies that Adelin Caldenbain went toward the Lord’s Castle!’

The spy he had assigned to Adelin came running breathlessly to report.

‘We interrogated the villagers, and they said Adelin went toward the Lord’s Castle with people who appeared to be Veil Theodore’s companions…!’

Reginald felt his vision turn white with rage.

Adelin… you finally!

Mercenaries who had suddenly barged into the peacefully running village.

And Adelin, his damned niece, at their center.

Everything must have been Adelin’s doing.

‘Deploy all soldiers! Bring that bastard we locked up in the stables first!’

Reginald deployed all forces of the Lordship Castle and even went to find Letia.

‘You’d better come along too!’

Letia, who had been enjoying expensive liquor since broad daylight, wore an expression of annoyance.

‘…Reginald. It’s just a mercenary group with only six members at most. Do I really need to step forward for something like this?’

‘You forgot what you promised me when you took the position of mistress!!’

However, Reginald shouted angrily.

‘I give you money! You promised to give me the power to maintain this position!’

Letia eventually put on her cloak.

And followed Reginald out.

But even so, unable to shake off his anxiety, Reginald muttered the entire way to the rear courtyard.

‘Those guys will definitely attack the Lord’s Castle. Adelin must have Roman’s will…!’

In fact, this was the real reason Reginald was terrified.

‘The will, that damned will!’

The previous lord’s will that he had definitely been keeping, but had suddenly disappeared one day.

‘If it weren’t for the will, I would have killed that Adelin long ago!’

Before the will disappeared.

Reginald had actually been planning to quietly dispose of Adelin.

But just as he was about to execute that plan.

Strangely, the will vanished without a trace.

Reginald couldn’t help but suspect.

That Adelin must have stolen that will.

The will was like a key that could instantly place the adult Adelin in the lord’s position.

But for such an item to fall into the hands of the person concerned….

‘Could she be scheming behind the scenes to push me out?’

Reginald was anxious.

Since she had once been the Princess’s maid, Adelin might have trustworthy connections.

What if they were prestigious power holders or the Imperial Court?

‘My lord. What shall we do? Shall we dispose of that woman Adelin?’

‘…No.’

‘Pardon?’

‘Wait for now, damn it!’

Reginald had no choice but to change his plan.

He couldn’t ignore one possibility in the end.

‘What if all of this is a trap Adelin set?’

What if she had stolen the will in advance and was quietly waiting for Reginald to attack her?

The moment he sent assassins and got caught, Reginald would be finished.

Adelin would try to pin all serious crimes like treason and usurpation on him.

Then even the excuse of trying to care for the fiefdom in place of his inexperienced niece wouldn’t work.

So all of this, everything in the end.

‘To get rid of me in one go!’

Reginald was tormented by nightmares every night.

Unable to bear it, he had people search Adelin’s house and shop several times.

‘It’s not there, my lord. The previous lord’s will is nowhere….’

‘Damn woman, where the hell did she hide it…!’

However, no matter how much they searched, the will didn’t turn up.

But why on earth….

“Found it.”

Reginald’s eyes fixed on Adelin as she picked up something from the dirt.

Adelin was lifting something wrapped in yellowed cloth with her hands bleeding from scraped fingertips.

“Wow! We found it-!”

Beside her, the bright blonde girl was jumping up and down.

Reginald, who had been gritting his teeth, muttered.

“…Take it away.”

The soldiers stirred.

But he soon widened his eyes and shouted.

“Take that away from them right now-!!”
