A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 135

 

Meanwhile, Selina couldn’t hide her surprised expression upon seeing the cart.

 

“So, you’re going to buy all the Idongchin with this?”

 

“Yes! Selina is helping as a friend.”

 

“Still, I didn’t know you’d buy this much…”

 

“Huh, can’t I buy a lot…?”

 

Selina shook her head.

 

“No. Just in case, I’ll ask my parents. There’s a communication device on the 2nd floor.”

 

“Communication device?”

 

Veil interjected.

 

“You have a communication device at home?”

 

Selina nodded.

 

Veil unconsciously looked up at the upper floor railing.

 

They said nouveau riche, and indeed, Selina’s house was plastered with all kinds of luxury goods and expensive items.

 

But to think they’d even have a communication device.

 

In Talochium, communication devices were expensive and highly rare.

 

They even required possession permits to use, making them difficult to obtain under normal circumstances.

 

“How did they get the permit? I heard people without connections to the Imperial Court can’t get one even if they die and come back to life.”

 

“I don’t really know either. Maybe they spent money on it?”

 

Selina shrugged and continued demurely.

 

“My parents have a lot of money. But anyway, it’s this way.”

 

As Selina began going up to the 2nd floor, Tie quickly followed behind her.

 

Lucarion and Ppupppu also climbed the stairs as if they had been waiting.

 

Veil watched the children disappear up the stairs and slowly looked around the 1st floor of the manor.

 

The cart placed in front of the stairs came into view.

 

At the same time, he strangely felt gazes directed toward him.

 

‘…Well, look at this. What a strange atmosphere.’

 

A crooked smile appeared on Veil’s lips.

 

Three in the kitchen, two in the basement.

 

One standing outside the entrance and signs of presence in the backyard too.

 

Even though it was a place where a child lived alone without parents, this manor had over nine servants in total.

 

But in Veil’s view, there wasn’t a single one among them with a decent expression.

 

They all had rotten fish eyes, looking at their master as if she were bothersome.

 

He had witnessed quite a spectacle just when they entered.

 

‘What a bother, suddenly wanting breakfast! She should just eat on her own and leave.’

 

Recalling the woman who had been spouting arrogant words without knowing how scary listening ears could be, Veil’s face showed even more interest.

 

“This is why children need their parents by their side.”

 

Veil muttered gently and approached the cart.

 

Then he lightly lifted and put down the bag of gold coins, and subsequently went up the stairs.

 

“Selina, who were those people in aprons earlier?”

 

Tie asked upon arriving at the room with the communication device.

 

Selina’s eyes widened and for some reason she avoided Tie’s gaze.

 

“Th-they’re servants who work at the house.”

 

“Servants?”

 

“People who do cleaning and cooking. I told you yesterday, right? My parents often go on business trips, so I live alone.”

 

Tie nodded.

 

Selina’s parents were trading guild leaders who operated several large trading guilds.

 

So they were away from home more often than they were at home.

 

But yesterday, when asked how she had been getting by, Selina answered weakly.

 

‘I just stay at home.’

 

‘Alone? Then how do you eat? Children can’t just eat fried eggs and ramen, they need to eat a balanced diet…!’

 

‘I don’t really know since I don’t do the cooking myself.’

 

‘Then?’

 

‘There are people at home who do it for me. Those people also do the cleaning and send me to the preparatory school every morning…’

 

But contrary to what she was saying, Selina’s expression was incredibly dark.

 

She had been a happy squirrel when playing the corn-eating game.

 

But suddenly she looked like a squirrel that had all its acorns stolen.

 

Tie quietly watched Selina operating the communication device while recalling yesterday’s events.

 

Then Selina turned her head with a troubled expression.

 

“It’s been a while, so it’s taking time to turn on. I think we’ll have to wait a bit.”

 

Tie waved her hands energetically as if to say not to worry.

 

“Okay!”

 

And she said to Lucarion sitting beside her.

 

“Kamang, let’s wait a little!”

 

“…As long as needed.”

 

Selina approached and glanced at Lucarion.

 

“But who is this young master?”

 

“Young master?”

 

Tie’s mouth fell open.

 

But soon a thought occurred to her.

 

Both Yeongae and young master started with the same character.

 

That meant young master must be a word like Yeongae!

 

Tie answered proudly of her deductive skills.

 

“Yeah, Kamang young master is Tie’s friend! Say hello!”

 

Selina shyly nodded her head slightly. Then she asked.

 

“But how are you with this young master from so early in the morning?”

 

Tie giggled.

 

“Yeah, we live together!”

 

“Wow, really?”

 

Curiosity appeared on Selina’s face.

 

The child’s eyes sparkled as if surprised.

 

“I didn’t know, but Tie is amazing. You already have a political marriage partner too.”

 

“Political…?”

 

Tie looked at Lucarion as if asking what that was.

 

But Lucarion didn’t answer and only frowned with a displeased expression.

 

Selina laughed.

 

“It’s okay! From what I heard, people on Rosewerbel Street all do that. Making marriage contracts with each other from when they’re babies.”

 

“Marriage contract…?”

 

Tie’s face became more puzzled.

 

What was a marriage contract? It wasn’t even konjac.

 

Moreover, since Lucarion kept sighing beside her, she became even more curious about what it was.

 

Finally Tie stepped forward.

 

“Tie doesn’t know what a marriage contract is. But the reason I live with Lucarion isn’t because of a marriage contract, it’s because Tie is a mercenary…”

 

That’s when it happened.

 

Grrrrrrrrowl-

 

A tremendous sound echoed throughout the room, and Selina’s face turned bright red.

 

“That’s…”

 

Grrrrowl-

 

Another similar sound echoed once more.

 

This time it was a sound from Tie’s stomach.

 

Just then, Veil slowly appeared from outside the door.

 

“Don’t you both need to eat something? It seems like it’ll be a while before the communication device works.”

 

Selina froze, then quickly nodded her head.

 

Tie, who had come down to the dining room, sat at the table and swung her legs back and forth.

 

In the kitchen with a clear view inside, the people Selina had called ‘servants’ were moving about.

 

“Why is this so dirty? Didn’t you wash it?”

 

“Hey, we usually wash it in the morning! If I knew this would happen, I would’ve washed it last night. Suddenly coming with all those things hanging off them and saying they want to eat…”

 

Tie tilted her head.

 

She was sure they were said to be people who took care of Selina.

 

But their voices didn’t sound affectionate or kind at all.

 

Meanwhile, Selina was hanging her head low across from her again.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“Nobles?”

 

“No, those commoners from the front mansion.”

 

The voices from the kitchen, which had been barely audible, suddenly became crystal clear.

 

When she turned her head, she saw something like a transparent tube extending from Lucalion’s fingertips toward the kitchen.

 

Through the tube, the servants’ conversation could be heard more vividly.

 

“Why does the tin can play with kids like that? The Baron and his wife would be furious if they knew, sending her to the imperial preparatory school…”

 

“Shh! What if they hear?”

 

“They’re commoners, so it doesn’t matter if they hear. And they can’t hear us anyway.”

 

“Is that so? But did you see the carriage? They had tons of money… Aren’t they some noble’s illegitimate children or something?”

 

“I don’t know, what do we care. We’ll get gold coins from the maid steward later… no wait. Let’s talk about it later and just hurry up and bring this over.”

 

The kitchen became busy.

 

Soon, two servants walked toward Tie and Selina.

 

Plates were set down in front of the two children with a loud thunk.

 

Tie looked at the plate and opened her eyes wide in surprise.

 

‘This is…’

 

Bacon burned completely black.

 

Bread that could be believed to be moldy.

 

Even butter covered in seasoning as if someone had been eating it before bringing it over.

 

Veil glared at the servant with sharp eyes, but they just chuckled and said,

 

“It’s a bit shabby. We didn’t prepare breakfast because we didn’t know you were coming.”

 

At that moment.

 

A wave of magical power unconsciously flowed out from Tie’s body with a pop-

 

And then.

 

“Besides, even if we serve something sloppy, the stupid young lady will eat it anyway, right? She’s too gloomy to even tell the Baron and his wife. What’s she going to do if she doesn’t eat what we give her?”

 

The servant who had suddenly blurted out their true feelings froze in place.

 

Then made a “hup” sound and covered their own mouth.
