A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 109

“Here’s the address.”

Tie received the paper Adelin held out with wide, round eyes.

On the paper was written ‘Rosewerbel Street, No. 89’.

“It’s currently under my name, but I plan to transfer it to you as soon as I hire a new financial manager. So please just leave your mercenary identification number before you go.”

Everyone froze in bewilderment at the sudden situation.

However, before long, Nordics stepped forward with a furrowed brow.

“Isn’t Rosewerbel Street in the noble district?”

Adelin nodded.

“That’s right. Actually, I wanted to find somewhere quieter, but at the time it was a property the Princess recommended…”

She recalled the sight of Jedo.

The tower standing tall enough to pierce the sky and the dome encircled in gold.

The Imperial Palace that everyone looked up to was located in the center of the city center where dozens of roads met.

The noble district spread out beyond the vast central square that surrounded the Imperial Palace.

That place was where only the wealthiest and most influential among Jedo’s nobles resided.

Expansive roads, street trees planted along the roadside.

Townhouses built with wide spacing between them and fluttering family crests.

The property Adelin had bought at a low price was, ironically, an old mansion in the center of that street.

“It’s a mansion the Princess originally owned. Just when she was about to dispose of it, she heard I was looking for a townhouse and transferred it to me at half the market price.”

Of course, even at half price, the amount was enormous.

But Adelin was able to pay the entire sum without difficulty.

Thanks to receiving quite a high salary while working under the Princess, and not spending it on anything else.

“You’ll see when you look at it. It’s a building suitable for use as a base.”

However, Nordics still seemed to be hesitating about something.

Then Veil asked as if he couldn’t believe it.

“So… you’re just going to hand over that mansion to our child?”

Adelin laughed as if asking what was so obvious about that question.

“What, are you worried I might ask you all for money?”

“No, but even so.”

“You all… gave me back my hometown.”

Adelin’s eyes reddened slightly.

She sat down on the bed where Tie was sitting.

And she tucked Astie’s fallen hair behind his ear as she spoke.

“…Thanks to you, Tie, I was even able to say the final goodbye I couldn’t have with Mother.”

Tears welled up in Adelin’s eyes again.

She added with a faint smile.

“Before coming up, I looked into Agavert briefly.”

Agavert was a new mercenary group.

With fewer than ten members.

Adelin lost her words for a while as she read about their leader called the Commander King.

A great mage who summoned the dead and freely wielded necromancy.

His identity was unknown, but there were even rumors that he traveled around in the form of a child.

As soon as Adelin read that far, she could roughly guess Astie’s situation.

She said.

“…I owe a great debt, Tie.”

She recalled the image of the child who had collapsed, pale, after letting her meet her mother.

“I thought I’d never see Mother again.”

Adelin’s last memory of Stasia remained from the day she left her hometown.

So Adelin thought that perhaps Stasia might resent her.

“I was… so pathetic.”

She pretended to be okay, but she really wasn’t.

The guilt of sending her mother away like that and surviving alone tormented her every night.

“I couldn’t completely let go of this village, but I also couldn’t take back what Reginald had stolen…”

Recently, Adelin had been slowly giving up on everything.

The lives of the domain’s people were pure suffering, and Kaldenbain-Ridge was rotting away.

But then Agavert appeared.

And they showed Adelin, who had been drifting in a vast ocean, land where she could anchor.

Adelin grasped Tie’s hand tightly.

“I’m sorry this is all I can do for you.”

Hot tears flowed down her smiling cheeks.

But those were no longer tears of despair or sadness.

They were tears of relief and hope for stepping on the past and moving forward.

A faint smile spread across Tie’s lips.

The child stood up and quickly embraced Adelin’s neck warmly.

“Sister, come to Tie’s house too.”

Adelin hesitated.

Tie patted Adelin’s back soothingly as if comforting her.

“Come and make orange juice for Tie again!”

Why was it?

Suddenly, the moment when mana depletion occurred flashed through Tie’s mind.

‘At that time, it was just like…’

The sight of Adelin and Stasia finally meeting looked to Tie just like herself and Father.

So she couldn’t bring herself to hold back the power pouring out of her body.

She wanted the two people to be together even a little more.

Even just one more second with each other.

‘I’m glad I did that.’

And at this moment, Tie felt her heart swelling inside.

The child hugged Adelin even tighter.

Adelin had reclaimed her hometown.

She had gotten back her own home where she could stay for life.

Now the people of Kaldenbain-Ridge wouldn’t suffer anymore either.

“Whenever, whenever you think of this place, come visit, okay?”

Adelin pulled away from Tie.

Her face was flushed red from crying so much.

But the smile on her lips was clearer than ever before.

“You’ll be shocked when you come back, you know? The village will be changed beyond recognition.”

“Huh! Then Tie will go to the pub again and be surprised!”

“When that time comes, come to the domain instead of the pub. By then, I’ll have strawberries that Tie likes prepared in advance.”

“Wow, strawberries…!”

Seeing Tie’s excitement, the unit members burst into laughter.

Adelin’s heart also swelled mysteriously as she watched them.

‘There’s so much work to do from now on.’

She wondered how long it had been since she’d laughed like this.

She had always lived hiding her emotions.

Her daily life ahead would be busy.

She had to interrogate Reginald and decide the treatment of the soldiers who worked under him.

She would need to open the domain to treat the sick villagers and create new plans to help those who went bankrupt from excessive taxation get back on their feet.

But her heart felt light.

Adelin quietly gazed at Astie before her eyes.

The child had already climbed down from the bed and was pestering Raul to give him a piggyback ride.

Suddenly, someone came to mind.

‘That person also loved children so much.’

Whenever the Princess would see a young child while strolling through the square, she would always stop in her tracks.

Then she would watch with a faint smile until the child disappeared from sight before asking.

‘Adelin. Will I be able to start a family someday too?’

The Princess’s eyes when she asked such questions were always tinged with a strange sadness.

‘Will such a day come for me too?’

Adelin closed her mouth.

And she watched Astie for a while longer.

More precisely, the pretty dimples that formed on his cheeks whenever the child smiled.

Three days later.

Under a banner that read 【Welcome to Kaldenbain-Ridge!】.

“Oh, why are you giving us all these things.”

“Stop being noisy and just take care of things! I heard the child was sick. When you catch a cold, this herb is just perfect…”

“Veil! Is all the luggage loaded?”

The Agavert Members moved about busily.

And in an open field a little distance away from that place.

“…A-ahem! You, take this.”

Tie’s eyes widened at something suddenly thrust in front of her.

Before her eyes stood Jen, the pickpocket child she had seen on the first day in the village, scratching the back of his head.
