A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 114

 

“Child. Does your leg really not hurt?”

 

Veil whispered while carrying a huge load containing all the unit members’ clothes.

 

Tie nodded her head vigorously to show she was fine.

 

But contrary to her actions, sweat was trickling down her forehead.

 

Eventually Tie lowered her voice and asked.

 

“Brother, how much further to Tie’s house…?”

 

Veil looked around and answered.

 

“Hmm, about an hour…?”

 

Tie put strength into her legs that had almost wobbled.

 

Then she took a deep breath and pulled up her sagging pants.

 

“Yes! Tie is fine.”

 

Tie turned around to look behind her again with determination.

 

She could see several people following behind quickly hide themselves once more.

 

Some behind nearby buildings, some behind piles of trash stacked on the street.

 

“Master Danzu. Rather than doing this, how about riding in this cart?”

 

Enzo, who was pulling a cart containing demon cores beside her, asked again.

 

But Tie shook her head back and forth.

 

“Tie will walk to the end.”

 

Originally, once you decide to do something, you have to be consistent to the end.

 

Otherwise, people only remember the last part.

 

Tie panted as she looked around.

 

The path Agabert was currently walking was a medium-sized alley quite far from the main road.

 

It was because there were too many people enjoying the festival on the main road, making passage impossible.

 

“Waaah-!”

 

Just then, the sound of people’s cheers came from the direction of the main road.

 

Following that, a group of lanterns floated up above the buildings.

 

While staring blankly at that sight,

 

“Uwaaah!”

 

Tie ended up missing her step and fell flat on the ground.

 

She had been walking while looking at the sky instead of ahead and tripped over a stone.

 

Basto came running over, and Veil crouched down.

 

Lucalion also asked with a worried face.

 

“Are you okay?”

 

Tie looked back at the information brokers behind her again, then nodded her head stubbornly.

 

“Y-yes, I’m okay.”

 

Actually, it hurt enough to bring tears to her eyes.

 

But she couldn’t act spoiled while the information brokers were watching…

 

Just as she breathed in and out and got up from her spot.

 

“Where are you headed?”

 

A luxurious carriage appeared from somewhere and stopped next to the Agabert party.

 

Tie stared blankly at the face revealed as the window opened.

 

“I see elderly and weak in your party. If you’d like, I’ll give you a ride to your destination.”

 

Hair resembling white moonlight.

 

Even eye color similar to Tie’s.

 

An adult whose face sparkled with light got out of the carriage wearing a black uniform.

 

Tie whispered into Veil’s ear.

 

“Brother. Carriages are prohibited, so why is this carriage on the road?”

 

Veil likewise answered into Tie’s ear.

 

“Can’t you tell just by looking? It’s because he’s a nobleman. And a very wealthy, high-ranking nobleman at that.”

 

Tie swallowed her saliva and turned her gaze.

 

‘I see…’

 

Indeed, she could see the inside of the carriage, which was three times wider than Agabert’s.

 

Not only that?

 

From seats decorated with red velvet to car windows with golden tassels.

 

The handsome man who was the carriage owner and sat across with his legs crossed did seem to truly be a wealthy nobleman.

 

But even so.

 

“Isn’t this a bit discriminatory…?”

 

They absolutely prevented other carriages from entering beyond the river.

 

Yet they let only this carriage move around freely.

 

Then Veil put his index finger to his lips.

 

“Anyway, we’re getting a free ride, so shh.”

 

Tie reluctantly nodded her head.

 

As Veil said, Agabert was currently in a position to get a free ride in this carriage.

 

It was the moment when Tie, having nothing left to say, was fiddling with the bag in her arms.

 

“I heard that carriage traffic was prohibited because of the lantern festival.”

 

A gentle voice came from across the way, which had been quiet the whole time.

 

The man who was the carriage owner was looking at Tie with a subtle smile on his lips.

 

“The Paladins are sometimes inflexible like this. Even if having a lot of luggage is understandable, they should in principle let carriages with elderly and weak passengers pass through.”

 

Veil looked the man over with wary eyes.

 

“Ah… well.”

 

But the man smiled kindly and asked Tie.

 

“Are you alright where you fell?”

 

Tie was flustered.

 

She hadn’t expected the man to ask her anything.

 

But soon she looked down at her knees and answered spiritedly.

 

“Yes! I’m fine!”

 

“Then may I take a look for a moment?”

 

Tie’s eyes widened.

 

The child looked at Veil and Basto, then answered nonchalantly.

 

“Yes.”

 

The man leaned forward as if he had been waiting.

 

He examined Tie’s knee carefully, then furrowed his brow.

 

“There’s some blood showing through your pants.”

 

The man’s words were true.

 

When he rolled up the pant leg on the side where she fell, a scraped wound on her small knee was revealed.

 

“Ow ow ow…”

 

As air touched the wound, she immediately felt a stinging sensation.

 

When Tie made a pained sound, the man frowned.

 

Then he lifted the empty seat next to him.

 

There was a very neatly organized storage space there.

 

The man took out bottled ointment, disinfectant, and clean gauze from inside, then said.

 

“May I clean it for you?”

 

Tie hesitantly nodded her head.

 

“Just in case, please be sure to disinfect again when you arrive at your residence. Whether big or small, disinfection is most important for external injuries.”

 

“Disinfection, yes!”

 

The man smiled at Tie’s answer and soaked the gauze with disinfectant.

 

He carefully cleaned Tie’s wound so it wouldn’t hurt, then applied ointment and added new gauze on top.

 

“All done.”

 

Tie’s mouth fell open in admiration at the quick and skillful treatment.

 

Meanwhile, the man was pulling down Tie’s pant leg for her.

 

With quite gentle and careful hands.

 

Tie found herself staring intently at the man’s face without realizing it.

 

‘This mister is a really kind person!’

 

She had thought he was selfish for riding the carriage alone.

 

But that wasn’t all?

 

When the man smiled, he strangely resembled Father.

 

‘Father also treated Tie’s injuries this carefully when she got hurt.’

 

It was when Tie, feeling strange, was quietly glancing at the man.

 

“Commander. We have arrived.”

 

The coachman’s voice came from the front.

 

At the same time, Enzo by the window pointed outside.

 

“I think this is it!”

 

Tie quickly got up and ran to the window.

 

Indeed, beside the road where the carriage had stopped was a brightly lit mansion.

 

“This is Tie’s house…?”

 

A garden that looked like ten playgrounds from in front of Hanbit Kindergarten put together.

 

And the magnificent building at the end of the garden’s stone path.

 

“Isn’t this a princess’s castle…?”

 

Honestly, she had been thinking of a building like the mixed-use complex across from Gold Apartment.

 

However, the building exuded a very elegant atmosphere.

 

Winding ivy grew on walls built of white stone, and the pretty blue roof had pointed ends.

 

‘So beautiful…!’

 

And that wasn’t all?

 

The large arched windows on each floor were very big and clean.

 

The warm interior with luxurious furniture arranged inside was clearly visible.

 

“Please get off this way.”

 

Just then the coachman opened the door, so Tie quickly jumped down onto the road.

 

And she looked inside the gate with her mouth wide open.

 

“Thank you, we arrived comfortably thanks to you.”

 

Behind her, the unit members who had gotten off the carriage were gathering their belongings one by one.

 

Nordics politely greeted the man inside the carriage.

 

“Thank you.”

 

The man smiled good-naturedly as if it was nothing.

 

“Then I hope you have a comfortable night.”

 

It was when the coachman was about to close the carriage door again.

 

“Ah. Wait a moment!”

 

Tie, who had been distracted looking at the manor, quickly ran back to the carriage.

 

The child struggled to open her bag and took something out from inside.

 

“Mister, Tie will give you this.”

 

What the child took out was a village specialty she had brought from Kaldenbain-Ridge.

 

Specifically, it was handmade candy that the innkeeper grandmother had made with honey herself, and a special snack that Tie had saved for a whole four days without eating.

 

“Kaldenbain specialty! There are three but I’m giving you one.”

 

The smiling child unhesitatingly took the man’s hand and pressed the candy into it.

 

“Then goodbye!”

 

After that, the child turned around without any regret.

 

As the excited child ran toward the manor, the gate opened as if it had been waiting.

 

“My goodness, you’re finally here! I heard from Lady Adelin!”

 

A woman who appeared to be the manor’s manager was greeting the child and her party with a welcoming face.

 

“Commander, shall we depart?”

 

The coachman asked.

 

Only then did the man turn his gaze away from staring at Tie.

 

Then he unconsciously gripped the candy in his hand and answered.

 

“…Ah, yes.”

 

“Yes. Will you be having dinner at the manor?”

 

“Ah… please go to Central Medical Corps Headquarters. I have some things to review.”

 

“Then we’ll depart.”

 

The carriage wheels began rolling again.

 

The man looked out the window while rolling the candy in his hand.

 

He could see the back of the child running across the garden in the distance.

 

“…She’s running again. After just falling down earlier.”

 

The man’s name was Alexander.

 

Commander of the Central Medical Corps of the Order of the Paladins, and

 

“It’ll probably get infected.”

 

He was the third prince of the Luminen Duchy.
