A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 132

 

The roots of the religious order were in the Central Continent.

 

In the Roxe Forest that existed in the middle of the Central Continent, there was the ‘World Tree’, a symbol of the god that the religious order served.

 

The World Tree was once a sacred tree that ruled over all continents.

 

The wounded were healed just by going near it, and the chosen ones could hear the World Tree’s divine messages.

 

But less than 20 years after the Mastone emerged, the World Tree became corrupted.

 

“Isn’t it famous? The incident where the Pope… beheaded the six Grand Tree Guardians.”

 

When the World Tree became corrupted, the Pope was enraged.

 

He sealed off the entire Roxe Forest and held the six Grand Tree Guardians who had been caring for the World Tree at that time responsible.

 

Since they had failed to properly care for the World Tree, at least they should pay the price for their sins before God’s name.

 

The Grand Tree Guardians were all beheaded like that.

 

Even though they were all high priests who held positions of Archbishop or higher, even Cardinal.

 

“That’s correct. Today’s religious order doesn’t tolerate even the slightest irreverence.”

 

Edmund answered.

 

He continued speaking with an expressionless face.

 

“The problem is that the standards for that ‘irreverence’ are ambiguous.”

 

Even though blasphemy was a serious crime, the judgment criteria weren’t clear.

 

As an example, a few years ago in the Central Continent, there was an incident where a young Paladin was publicly executed.

 

All he had done was accidentally step on a holy robe that the Pope had dropped.

 

“Still, the religious order’s control is less strict in the Empire. While sacred law is emphasized, ultimately it’s the Emperor who rules the Empire. But if you go to the North Continent, things will be different.”

 

The North Continent was the place where the religious order’s influence was strongest today.

 

There, as long as there was ‘justification’, everything was handled according to the religious order’s will.

 

It meant you could be escorted to the Central Continent for ridiculous reasons, or subjected to intense investigations.

 

Another problem here was precisely this ‘investigation’.

 

The religious order would often place restraints on their targets to torture them or manipulate their minds to rummage through their heads.

 

This was because of the justification that now that Mastone had emerged and everyone was in danger, they needed to protect sanctity even more strictly.

 

“But Miss Tie is currently here in Talochium.”

 

However, even the religious order couldn’t arbitrarily capture people from outside the Holy Nation.

 

“Moreover, Miss Tie isn’t even affiliated with the religious order. She’s just a mercenary.”

 

Basto nodded his head.

 

As Edmund said, the religious order didn’t yet have the ‘justification’ to investigate Tie in their own way.

 

Of course, Agabert had no intention of creating such justification in the future either.

 

Leonardo also stepped forward.

 

“Even if the religious order contacts us again, we’ll block them at our level from now on.”

 

He looked around at the unit members.

 

“So stay in Talochium for the time being. No, try not to leave Talochium if possible. Then everything will be fine.”

 

Tie, who had returned to the manor, didn’t go inside but stopped blankly in the garden.

 

Beyond the fence on the right side.

 

She could see the neighboring house that was still empty.

 

‘…That belonged to Father.’

 

Even now, the fact that she had discovered Father’s identity didn’t feel real.

 

The fact that Father was the Commander of Trevaga felt even more unreal.

 

“Child, aren’t you going in?”

 

Veil asked, but Tie shook her head as if nothing was wrong.

 

“Tie will play in the yard for just a little bit.”

 

“I’ll be watching from the window, okay? Don’t go anywhere.”

 

“Okay!”

 

The unit members finally went inside.

 

After seeing the door close, Tie went to the right fence and stuck herself against the railing.

 

Her wistful gaze swept over the front yard overgrown with weeds.

 

The top window was still rattling, and now she could see the stone steps and railings were covered in spider webs.

 

“…Tie was going to find Father first.”

 

Last night, Tie had made a decision.

 

‘First, it’s a secret that Father is the number one mercenary.’

 

The reason was simple.

 

Even if she went to find Father anyway, Father would definitely dislike Tie and keep his distance.

 

Actually, Tie was now okay with Father not recognizing her.

 

She had already experienced it in Pearl City, and had been preparing herself mentally over and over.

 

But that didn’t mean it wasn’t sad.

 

Tie was afraid that she might be too shocked seeing Father who might not recognize her.

 

‘I was prepared for it, but still.’

 

What if Father told Tie ‘Go away!’?

 

What if he frowned scary and acted annoyed…?

 

Just imagining it already made her heart hurt so much.

 

The problem was what the unit members would think seeing Tie like this.

 

“…Uncle Basto, and the brothers, and Grandfather. They’ll all be really sad together.”

 

Tie didn’t want to make the people around her suffer anymore.

 

Even when she was in South Korea, Tie had always only caused trouble for the adults who took care of her.

 

‘Everyone works hard to raise Tie. I shouldn’t keep making them upset.’

 

If she told them Father’s identity, the people around her would be very frustrated.

 

Maybe Brother Veil would be so frustrated that he’d bang his head against trees every day.

 

But if she confessed the truth to Father,

 

‘There’s no guarantee Father would believe it.’

 

Rather, Father might think Tie was a strange child and distance himself even more.

 

If she put herself in his shoes, even Tie would probably do the same.

 

So last night, Tie made a thorough plan with Kamang in her own way.

 

First.

 

‘Tie is going to the North Continent! Kamang will help.’

 

First, she would go to the North Continent to meet Father.

 

Once she met him and saw his face, she could decide what to do next.

 

She felt like she couldn’t stand it if she didn’t see his face as soon as possible.

 

From the second step onward, she thought it wouldn’t be very difficult.

 

Like 107 Grandmother said that life is full of unexpected turns, it turned out there was great fortune waiting for Tie that would make things easier.

 

‘Since Father is Tie’s neighbor, I can wait at home until Father comes!’

 

It was precisely the fact that Father was the owner of the neighboring house.

 

‘We met once in the North Continent, so we know each other’s faces, right? Then after that, since we’re neighbors, we can slowly become friends.’

 

Just like how Tie and Father had lived like family with 107 Grandmother!

 

Tie imagined the day when Father would return from the North Continent someday.

 

Father would definitely be surprised to see Tie.

 

He would say ‘Oh! You’re Astie whom I met back then? You were my neighbor next door!’ and be happy to see her.

 

Then Tie would pretend not to know and say ‘What a coincidence, such an unexpected meeting…!’ and then.

 

‘We’ll become friends who eat snacks together!’

 

Since both Father and Tie were mercenaries, they would surely have plenty to talk about.

 

And then becoming a family again would happen quickly, right?

 

Tie planned to subtly warn Father once they grew closer.

 

That Father should always be careful since he might fall back to South Korea again due to the ‘Law of Destiny Return’.

 

However.

 

A problem erupted from an unexpected place.

 

Nordics Grandfather had firmly declared that the North Continent was absolutely out of the question!

 

Even Commander and the Luminen uncles all said the North Continent was too dangerous.

 

Because the Order was curious about the identity of the powerful Tie.

 

They said it would be better not to go anywhere near there to stay safe.

 

“Ehfuuu…”

 

Finally, the sigh she had been holding back escaped.

 

Tie looked up at the neighboring house beyond the fence with a dejected face.

 

If Tie couldn’t go to the North Continent first, there was only one method left.

 

“Waiting here until he comes…”

 

But not knowing how long to wait or how to wait made her heart feel stuffy as if blocked.

 

Tie pursed her lips, feeling too upset.

 

“He should come quickly…”

 

As she muttered weakly while looking at the gloomy neighbor’s garden.

 

“He won’t come, you know? The Maid Steward said this house is just for show.”

 

Suddenly a voice was heard from beside her.

 

Startled, she turned her head to find Selina standing next to her.

 

Selina shook her head back and forth with a leaf stuck to her bangs.

 

“The owner is a mercenary? He’s just letting it rot to show off to the nobles. For showing off wealth, don’t look down on me, that sort of thing. You can tell since he bought it and hasn’t come once in 2 years.”

 

While Tie’s mouth fell open.

 

Selina blinked her eyes.

 

“By the way, where did you go for so many days? Leaving the house empty for so long. I thought you went somewhere and waited for a while…”

 

Tie tilted her head.

 

“Selina, you waited for Tie?”

 

When she asked, Selina’s cheeks turned bright red.
