A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 112
The reason the carriage was bustling was simple.
“Huh huh huh? Child! Won’t you hold the reins properly?”
“Tie! Be careful! Oh no, Raul! Tie’s bag is falling!”
“Waaaaah, the horse is so fast!”
Because at this moment, it was none other than Tie who was holding the horse’s reins.
Though she was receiving assistance from Raul, Astie was literally swaying like straw on the horse.
Nordics, who was watching from inside the carriage, clicked his tongue.
“Somehow it looks quite precarious.”
Whether he had the same thought, Veil glared at Basto.
“I told you so. What can’t be done can’t be done. Why did you put a child on a horse, huh?!”
Basto closed his mouth as if troubled.
Then he hesitantly replied.
“Then what was I supposed to do when she pestered me for three straight days? She said it was her wish to sit on the driver’s seat, I couldn’t just ignore it forever.”
“Why couldn’t you ignore it? Are you going to give in to everything when a child whines? It’s because you keep spoiling the child that she acts like this even more!”
Basto kept his mouth firmly shut.
That was understandable, since there was nothing to gain from arguing with Veil over such matters.
Basto, who wasn’t good with words, always lost to Veil.
Was this what they called natural enemies?
‘But I had my reasons for allowing it.’
It was when Basto, feeling strangely hurt, lowered his gaze.
“That child will definitely want to ride without Raul next time, mark my words. She’s got too much unnecessary adventurous spirit.”
Strangely enough, at the same time as Veil’s muttering, an excited voice could be heard from outside.
“Waaah-! Uhahahaha!”
“D-Danzu! Please stop petting the horse and hold the reins! When stopping, slowly pull both sides like this…!”
Unlike Tie who was laughing excitedly.
Raul’s voice, who was assisting Tie from behind, was urgent.
He was undoubtedly using all his strength to prevent the carriage from overturning.
Then Tie looked back at the unit members inside the carriage.
“Everyone look at Tie! Tie is driving the horse!”
Veil let out a sigh.
He roughly stuck his head out the window and answered lifelessly.
“Yeah, you’re doing well.”
“Really? Right? Tie is cool, isn’t she?! Tie drives better than Raul and Enzo, right?”
“Yeah, so please look ahead.”
“Uhehe, Kamang! Nordics Grandfather! Look at Tie!”
However, the excited Tie didn’t know when to stop.
At her voice calling them out, eventually Lucalion and Nordics also stuck their heads out the window.
“…The ride quality is really something else.”
“Hahaha, Astie. I’d believe you if you said you were a professional.”
Tie laughed “uhehe” and only after a while did she look forward again.
“Raul. Everyone says Tie is doing well! So until we reach the new house, Tie will drive…”
“Child, you haven’t forgotten what we promised earlier, have you? It’s exactly 10 minutes. Now there are 7 minutes left.”
But at that moment.
Veil’s merciless announcement completely shattered the good atmosphere.
Tie unconsciously drooped her eyebrows.
Raul quietly comforted her from behind.
“I’ll let you ride again later, Danzu.”
Tie looked at Raul pitifully.
“Really…?”
“Yes. But it’s a secret from Veil, okay?”
Tie nodded her head earnestly.
It was when she was looking ahead again with a bright smile.
“Wow, it’s a river!”
The view of a river revealed itself before their eyes.
Raul smiled.
“You’re right. We must be almost there. I can see the Isera River.”
“Isera River?”
“Yes. It’s the river that surrounds the Imperial Capital and Realm Core in a circle, also called the Boundary of the Old Gods.”
Raul pulled up Tie’s cloak that had slipped down.
“Don’t you remember the story Nordics Grandfather told you yesterday?”
Soon Tie’s eyes grew wide.
“I remember. The Old Gods!”
After leaving Kaldenbain-Ridge.
Agabert had continued a forced march the entire time.
There was no more time to delay, and due to the promise with the Commander King, they had to arrive at The Order today without fail.
But yesterday afternoon.
The massive side effect of the forced march that everyone had been worried about exploded.
‘I-I’m so booooored…’
An unprecedentedly huge period of boredom had come to Tie.
Well, a journey that would take several days was too long for four-year-old Tie to endure.
Nordics came up with a clever plan to soothe Tie, who couldn’t stand being bored.
‘Tie, are you very bored?’
‘Yeeees, Tie will turn into a pebble at this rate…’
‘Then Grandfather will tell you some old stories.’
Nordics told Tie several historical stories related to the Empire and The Order.
And one of them was about the ‘Boundary of the Old Gods.’
‘You know that the current Order is an expanded Order, right?’
‘Yes!’
According to Nordics, originally Talochium’s Order was one independent city.
Just like South Korea’s capital is Seoul.
But when Mastone emerged, the Emperor expanded the scope of The Order.
It was like merging Gangwon Province and Chungcheong Province with Seoul.
‘But are Gangwon Province and Chungcheong Province supposed to have Seoul in them…?’
She didn’t think so.
While Tie was groaning and recalling the map puzzle she learned at preschool.
Nordics continued speaking.
‘But this expansion of The Order, you see. Though it sounds easy, it caused quite a lot of confusion.’
‘Why?’
‘One day, places that weren’t part of The Order suddenly became part of The Order. How could there not be confusion?’
Tie nodded with her mouth agape.
True enough.
Even Kaldenbain-Ridge, which was a mountain village, was officially part of The Order.
And that wasn’t all?
The Weapon District too, and Pearl City too.
In fact, every place they had passed through the Gateway belonged to The Order.
‘Think about it. Did those places really seem like The Order to you?’
Tie shook her head.
No matter how much she recalled the path they had taken, those places didn’t feel like huge cities like Jongno-gu or Seoul.
‘But you see, when you cross the Isera River and enter the Old District, that is, The Order before it was expanded…’
‘…’
‘That place is completely different from outside the Isera River. It’s full of vitality, with magnificent buildings lined up in rows…’
The Isera River.
A great river that surrounded The Order before its expansion.
The other name for that river was ‘Boundary of the Old Gods.’
It was called that because it now served as the boundary separating the Old District and New District.
‘You’ll understand when you see it. What it means when they say it’s a completely different world once you cross that river.’
Sure enough, Raul smiled from behind.
“We’re almost there. Just cross that bridge.”
Tie gulped.
Indeed, as they got closer to the Isera River, the city that looked like a giant jewelry box became more clearly visible.
Tie calmed her racing heart and looked around.
Before she knew it, various carriages had lined up around them.
As they entered the bridge over the river, there were even more carriages than before.
Perhaps because of the crowd, she could hear some coachmen shouting from nearby.
Basto, noticing the traffic congestion, stuck his head out of the carriage.
“Tie. Are you okay?”
Tie nodded vigorously.
And looked around with bewildered eyes.
‘It must be almost 10 minutes now.’
It seemed impossible to stop the carriage here and move to the back compartment.
“I’ll look for a place where we can stop briefly.”
Eventually, at Raul’s suggestion, Tie let go of the reins.
Instead, she held tightly onto Raul’s arm, and just as they were looking for a place to stop.
“Neigh-!”
A strange carriage suddenly pressed its body toward Agavert’s side.
In the precarious situation where they almost collided immediately, Veil stuck his head out the window and pointed accusingly.
“What are you doing, are you crazy?!”
But the other coachman just snorted.
“Ah, they’re the ones pressing in, so what do you want me to do about it. You folks should yield a bit.”
Tie’s mouth fell wide open as she had been quietly watching.
‘This is…!’
Aggressive driving?
Her heart pounded.
Actually, she had seen this kind of thing in Jongno-gu too.
‘Yes~ It’s a four-lane road. Huh? A Morning car suddenly cuts in from the side? The reporter quickly turns the steering wheel, oh~ crash~!’
To be precise, in the YouTube videos that Hammer from the hardware store at the end of the Alley watched every day.
‘The insurance company claims the reporter is 60 percent at fault. Now! Let’s go to the viewer poll!’
When she sat with Hammer, Tie would often find herself watching those videos absentmindedly.
It was because Hammer would get furious and breathe fire every time he watched the videos.
‘These are complete lunatics! Tie, quickly press this. This one.’
‘What’s this?’
‘It’s called a viewer poll.’
Tie had voted several times on Hammer’s phone that aggressive driving was bad.
‘But to do such a thing!’
The child’s eyes blazed with fire.
Soon Tie shouted with a serious expression.
“Mister! You didn’t even turn on your blinker, what are you doing right now?”
