A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 105

“Can’t you hear me! Move! I said move!!”

Reginald shouted.

But the soldiers were only stirring restlessly in place.

“L-Lord…”

And for good reason—the barrier surrounding Agavert and Adelin looked far too solid in their eyes.

That wasn’t all.

“That r-red mist…”

The red mist that had been creeping out of the stables since a moment ago was also a problem.

Several paladins were already collapsed around the mist.

As if warning that even touching it would be dangerous.

“These useless bastards!”

Finally, Reginald erupted in fury.

He picked up a sword that had fallen on the ground and struck down at any nearby soldier.

As the wounded man groaned and collapsed, the soldiers looked back at him with pale faces.

“I am your master! I am the Lord of Kaldenbain-Ridge! Anyone who doesn’t obey me will have their head cut off!”

At his furious voice, the soldiers hesitantly gripped their swords again.

Their hands trembled, but they had nowhere to retreat.

They knew Reginald’s cruelty best, having watched him closely all this time.

“Ch-charge!”

Finally, a soldier of commanding rank squeezed his eyes shut and shouted.

“Capture the scoundrels who harmed our Lord!”

Then all the soldiers began rushing toward the stables at once.

Though they had lost many troops, there was still hope.

Reginald’s soldiers still had numerical superiority compared to Agavert’s mere few men.

Reginald, regaining hope, burst into maniacal laughter.

“Yes! Kill them all and seize the will…!”

But he couldn’t finish his words.

His bloodshot eyes shook, losing focus.

The charging soldiers also hesitated and stopped in place.

“Aaahhh!”

Then irregular screams erupted from various places.

Soldiers were falling to the ground one by one, struck by something that had emerged from the earth.

“S-save me!”

“My Lord! Help, help, urghh!”

Reginald froze in place.

His hand holding the sword trembled like an aspen leaf at the unbelievable sight.

Before his eyes, the grass that had been growing lush and green enough to cover the entire rear courtyard was turning black and dying in an instant.

As if having its life force drained by something irresistible.

Through that withered grass, bizarre things he’d never seen before began revealing themselves one after another.

“Wh-what is this…”

Dust clouds rose up.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky and a damp smell stung his nose.

“Th-they’re the dead!”

The soldiers began fleeing in panic.

Reginald stared blankly at the soldiers passing by him toward the opposite side of the Lord’s Castle.

But the soldiers couldn’t go far before stopping in place.

Their only escape route had already been blocked.

Reginald dropped the sword he was holding.

Somehow, all directions were filled with mounds of earth that had risen as high as a person.

Then the surface of the earth began writhing, and something started walking out from within.

They were bones riddled with holes like eroded rock.

“…Save me.”

The soldier standing at the front collapsed on the spot.

However, the twisted bones moved as if alive, planting a rusty sword in front of the soldier.

Dust fell with a pattering sound from between the finger bones gripping the sword.

“Aaahhh…!”

That wasn’t the end.

As the skeletons closed in, the soldiers dropped their weapons one after another.

The temperature around them had suddenly dropped, bringing a wave of cold.

It was the moment when Reginald was still frozen like a statue.

“My heart is heavy thinking of my daughter and wife, and the people of the domain who will be left behind.”

A reading voice came from behind.

Reginald turned his head, doubting his ears.

Outside the stables.

The platinum-haired child he’d seen earlier was holding the previous Lord’s will.

“Even after I’m gone, the glory of Kaldenbain must continue… I hope Reginald Kaldenbain will take charge of protecting the family and managing the domain.”

But suddenly, the child who had been reading the will clearly stopped speaking.

Then quietly raised their head to look at Reginald.

“…Until my successor, Adelin Caldenbain, reaches the age of majority.”

Dry saliva went down his throat with a gulp.

“Mister.”

The child took a step forward.

Then the army of bones covering the rear courtyard stepped aside to the left and right as if they’d been waiting.

As a straight path formed between the child and himself, Reginald exhaled roughly and stepped back.

“Do you know the book about the greedy squeaky mouse?”

It was just a child.

He couldn’t understand why he was backing away.

But unlike him, the child showed no fear at all.

“Squeaky goes into his friend’s snack storage and gets caught stealing candy.”

The child continued taking one step, then another step.

As the distance closed, Reginald staggered and looked around.

But there was no one who could help him.

Each soldier had the swords of the dead who had risen from the ground at their throats.

Letia had disappeared somewhere.

“D-don’t come closer!”

Reginald hurriedly picked up the sword he’d dropped again.

However,

“…Where to.”

Basto, who had approached, roughly grabbed his arm.

Reginald swallowed dry saliva and tensed his body.

The child was now right in front of his nose.

“Squeaky steals and eats a whole lot of his friend’s candy. Later he gets caught and tries to run away.”

A look of disdain briefly flashed in those innocent green eyes.

“But he couldn’t escape. Do you know why?”

“What kind of ridiculous nonsense are you suddenly spouting!”

The child let out a deep sigh.

“Because his belly got too full, his fat got stuck in the hole. That’s what happens when you’re too greedy, it says so in the book.”

Reginald’s expression crumpled.

But the child’s face remained quite serious.

“Don’t steal other people’s things. Don’t lie. Keep your conscience. Even the little ones in the ladybug class learn and know this.”

“…Ha, haha.”

A hollow laugh burst out.

Reginald gritted his teeth with all his strength.

“What are you trying to do with me right now?”

His last remaining pride, on the verge of crumbling, blazed in his eyes.

“I am the lord of this Kaldenbain-Ridge! Everything you’re doing right now is treason!”

The child frowned and covered her ears.

But Reginald shouted even more passionately.

“When this reaches His Majesty the Emperor’s ears! Do you think he’ll leave you villains alone?!”

He glared at the other unit members standing in the distance.

“You’re all going to be executed! How dare mere commoners, lowly mercenaries who hunt monsters for a living! How dare you, where do you get off treating me, a lord…!”

[The traitor would be you, not them. Reginald.]

But at that moment, a blue phantom flashed right in front of Reginald’s nose.

Reginald’s eyes widened as he confirmed what he saw.

“H-how are you….”

What appeared before his eyes was Stasia.

Reginald’s sister-in-law, and the woman he had personally killed by feeding her poison.

Stasia roughly strangled Reginald’s neck with her pale hands.

Then pure white ice began to form over his skin.
