A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 133
“Tie, were you waiting?”
Selina opened and closed her mouth as if flustered.
Then she shouted loudly.
“Waiting for what! I was just curious where you went as a neighbor from the front mansion.”
Tie nodded her head.
Then she stared at Selina and carefully picked off a leaf stuck on the child’s head.
“But Yeongae Selina, did you come through the fence again?”
Selina’s face turned red once more.
Then Selina spoke in a barely audible voice.
“I, I rang the bell several times but there was no response, so I really had no choice but to come in…”
“Really? That’s strange, there are many people at home, so why couldn’t they hear the bell?”
“How, how would I know! It’s Yeongae’s house, so Yeongae should know.”
“I see, got it! Tie will definitely fix the bell later!”
Selina looked at Tie as if bewildered.
Then she soon let her shoulders droop.
“…But why is the neighboring house waiting?”
Tie’s eyes widened as she fumbled with her words.
“Just be, because we’re neighbors…!”
“Because you want to get close as neighbors?”
“Umm…”
“Do you think there might be friends your age? Even though the homeowner isn’t an ordinary noble family but a mercenary group?”
Selina grumbled for some reason as she added.
“If that’s the case, do you need to wait for people to move into the neighboring house? I’m also here at the front mansion.”
As Tie’s lips parted, Selina’s face reddened again.
“No! I just thought Yeongae seemed around my age too. And we seemed to communicate well last time…!”
Silence fell between the two children.
Tie watched Selina avoiding her gaze and realized inwardly.
‘I got it. Selina really wanted to play with Tie after all.’
There were friends like this in Quail Class too.
If they wanted to play together, they could just come and say ‘Let’s play!’
But for some reason, their faces would turn red as they talked about where they went last weekend.
Or what kind of snacks they liked, things like that.
Seoyoon and Harin, who were the princesses of Quail Class, disliked that type.
And they deliberately tried not to play with them, but Tie was the type who got along well with everyone.
Tie quickly smiled brightly.
“Yeah, it was fun last time! Then are we friends?”
Selina’s eyes widened.
The child’s lips parted, and soon a hesitant small voice flowed out.
“N, no, well I…”
“You know what, then shall we go inside and play squirrel games? The person who gnaws corn the fastest wins!”
Selina, who had been blinking for a few seconds, hurriedly nodded.
“Okay!”
“Yeah! Let’s go!”
Tie grabbed Selina’s hand.
Selina unconsciously looked down at her hand clasped with Tie’s.
‘Yeongae, please go away. I have no intention of including you in our games.’
The voice she heard that morning at Imperial Academy brushed past her ears.
‘Father told me not to play with Yeongae. He said we shouldn’t play with nouveau riche who bought their title with money.’
‘Selina isn’t even real nobility, so why does she keep acting refined? It’s ridiculous, really.’
Selina unconsciously rubbed around her eyes.
Then she hesitantly followed Tie.
Tie and Selina gnawed through as many as two ears of corn each.
Then they lay on their stomachs in front of the fireplace and chatted for a long while before getting up.
Tie stood at the gate to see Selina off.
Though seeing off just meant watching Selina cross the street to go home.
“Selina! Let’s play squirrel games again tomorrow!”
“Okay!”
Veil watched the two children waving their hands vigorously across the street and burst into laughter.
He took Tie’s hand and led her into the manor as he asked.
“Child. Is playing with corn that fun?”
“Yeah!”
“Did the noble child from the front mansion have fun too?”
“Yeah, she had fun. I didn’t know, but it seems like the friends at Selina Academy are really bad kids.”
Selina had briefly told Tie her story while playing the squirrel game.
“Selina wasn’t originally nobility, but her mom and dad have a lot of money so they bought it for her.”
“A title?”
“Yeah! So now Selina is nobility too, but the bad friends at the preparatory school won’t play with Selina. They say Selina isn’t nobility but nouveau riche.”
“Kids are scary, scary. Even though they’re probably only a few years apart in age, already…”
“So Tie also told Selina about nouveau riche!”
Looking down, Tie had a face that seemed very proud somehow.
“Did you? Good job.”
It was when Veil, who answered bewilderedly, entered the manor side by side with Tie.
“So that’s why, since Tie is nouveau riche, I want to buy something!”
“Buy? What do you want to buy?”
This was the first time Tie said she wanted to buy something since the Weapon District.
The unit members from the dining room and living room also gathered around for that conversation.
Nordics asked with a curious face.
“Tie, are you thinking of using your reward money?”
Tie nodded vigorously.
“Yes! Idongchin! I’ll buy a lot of them!”
Then without even taking off her outer clothes, she continued.
“I’ll buy Idongchin, and from now on I’ll siege lots and lots of Mastone! Tie is a powerful Commander King!”
Basto’s eyes grew large.
“Anyway, Agabelt is a mercenary group, so we have to siege lots and lots of Mastone, right?”
Tie’s words were correct.
The unit members’ goal was also to siege Mastone and expand Agabelt’s scale.
The reason was simple.
If the mercenary group’s scale grew, Tie would become safer.
The more unit members increased, the less the leader would need to step forward.
But even so, still.
“Child, was it true that you have ambitions for power?”
At Veil’s question, Tie shrugged her shoulders.
“Yeah! Tie is the boss, so it’s good to have lots of money and power.”
Raul and Enzo exchanged glances.
It sounded a bit strange coming from a child’s mouth, but once again, there was nothing wrong with Tie’s words.
“If we have lots of money and power, the Order won’t be able to monitor Tie either.”
First, the reasoning was solid,
“Also, Selina says there are tons of Mastones lately. But Tie has bone friends and subordinates, so we can quickly conquer small Mastones, right?”
the intentions were righteous and moral,
“If we’re all going to make a living together, we shouldn’t just save money but keep dominating business.”
and even the future plans were extremely realistic and specific.
Finally, Basto, who had been frozen, muttered back.
“So you’re saying you want to buy Idongchin?”
“Yes! We need to move quickly to become the top mercenary group fast!”
As Tie said, Mastone conquests did tend to take a lot of time going back and forth.
If they had Idongchin, they could shorten travel time, making rapid conquests possible.
But still…
Raul and Enzo frowned.
“So, Danzu. What you’re saying isn’t just that you want to push forward with Mastone conquests.”
“You want to push back Trevaga too, right now?”
“Yes!”
Tie, who had shouted energetically, tilted her head.
“Don’t you like it?”
In fact, Tie hadn’t just been playing squirrel games with Selina until a moment ago.
While eating corn, she had racked her brains, thinking and thinking again.
‘He won’t come. The Maid Steward said this house is just for show.’
About Selina’s words that the neighboring house was just for show, so Father would never return to this house.
If those words were true, what should Tie do?
‘I can’t chase after Father to the North Continent either.’
As for waiting until he came back, that seemed like something Tie absolutely couldn’t endure.
Moreover, on the documents she had glimpsed at the Commander’s house, it was written like that.
Trevaga and Tessetan were currently continuing their conquests only in the North Continent.
Roughly speaking, it meant that waiting for Father to return would take ages and ages.
‘Then there’s really, really only one method left!’
The child’s eyes sparkled brightly.
The method Tie had thought of was precisely to make Father come looking for Tie directly.
