A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 136

 

Meanwhile, Tie swallowed hard.

 

Because there was something visible only to her eyes at this moment.

 

Before her eyes, waves of magical power extending from her body had become threads, binding the souls of the two servants.

 

‘Whoa, what is this?’

 

It all happened just a moment ago.

 

The moment the servants brought plates to Tie and Selina.

 

That’s when Tie was finally able to realize.

 

‘Selina is being mistreated!’

 

Of course, it was just a small suspicion at first.

 

When she entered the manor, she had seen some woman make sharp remarks that seemed aimed at Selina.

 

But she soon thought it couldn’t be true.

 

‘Mistreatment is usually only done by bad characters who are strong and rich…’

 

In Heungbu and Nolbu, it was Nolbu.

 

In Kongjwi and Patjwi, it was the stepmother and Patjwi who mistreated the protagonist.

 

But unlike them, the servants in this manor were just hired workers.

 

They were people who received monthly wages from Selina’s parents and did housework.

 

But what about Selina?

 

‘Selina is super rich, pretty, has both mom and dad, and is a noble child.’

 

So Tie couldn’t help but think that way.

 

‘Yeah, there’s no way Selina would be mistreated.’

 

But when the servants brought food with a musty smell, her thoughts changed.

 

Only then did Tie realize she had forgotten one very important thing.

 

‘Selina is… still a small child like Tie, isn’t she?’

 

Though she was smart, pretty, and rich, Selina was young.

 

And some adults treat children roughly.

 

They act carelessly, thinking children don’t know anything because they’re young.

 

Of course, Tie had experienced such things too.

 

In Room 205, where she was sometimes left when there was no one else to watch her.

 

‘Eating again? You just ate so much and now you’re eating again? You sure have quite an appetite. Ugh…’

 

The lady in Room 205 disliked Tie.

 

When Father pleaded with her, she smiled and said she’d take good care of Tie, but once the door closed, her expression hardened completely.

 

That lady never gave Tie the milk that Father had sent for her to drink.

 

Instead, she gave her old bread that was in the house, with a musty smell like the food before her eyes.

 

‘Selina…’

 

Having figured out the situation, Tie became unbearably upset.

 

Did Selina’s parents know that the people in this house gave Selina bad food and said mean things to her?

 

They probably didn’t know.

 

Tie had never told Father about getting a stomachache from eating bread in Room 205 either.

 

She couldn’t bring herself to tell him the truth, worried that Father would be heartbroken.

 

Tie looked at the plate with drooping eyebrows.

 

‘It would be nice if Tie could tell Selina’s mom and dad instead…’

 

That was the exact moment.

 

Thump-

 

Suddenly, waves of magical power flowed out from Tie’s body.

 

The waves quickly became dozens of thin threads, sticking to the bodies of the two servants.

 

Then Tie examined the souls of the two people that began to appear vividly before her eyes.

 

Small cracks were forming on the surface of the servants’ souls where the threads touched.

 

As the cracks deepened, something began flowing out from those gaps in wisps.

 

“Helga! Are you crazy? What’s wrong with you?”

 

“I didn’t want to say that! My mouth just moved on its own…!”

 

“Don’t you know you’ll get fired if you say things like this right in front of her, no matter how easy and stupid the young lady is?! Ugh, carelessly throwing away a job where you can work half-heartedly and get good pay… Why, wh-why is this happening!”

 

Lucalion, who had been watching, grabbed Tie’s arm as if finding it interesting.

 

“You created cracks in their souls.”

 

Tie stared at Lucalion in bewilderment.

 

“Cracks…?”

 

“Yeah. Cracked souls can’t properly contain the true feelings or emotions inside them. That’s why they’re flowing out like that.”

 

Tie swallowed hard and looked at the servants again.

 

It seemed Lucalion could see the same scene that Tie was seeing.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“Rea, can’t you shut up?! You act all high and mighty every day, but you can’t tell what you should and shouldn’t say at important moments? That’s why, ugh!”

 

“What did you say? How dare you speak to me like that…! I even pretended not to see when you stole the Baroness’s earrings last time!”

 

“What are you saying in front of the tin can again?! If you keep this up, I’ll tell the Baron and Baroness everything too! That you deliberately tie that tin can’s hair painfully every morning! Mmph!”

 

Seeing them spilling their wrongdoings so freely, Tie anxiously turned her head toward Selina.

 

Selina was staring blankly at the two servants. However,

 

‘She doesn’t look surprised…’

 

Selina showed no signs of being shocked or hurt even after hearing the servants’ words.

 

As if she had been treated this way by them for quite a long time.

 

“I never directly bullied the tin can like you did! You’ll go to prison if this gets out, but I won’t!”

 

“Is that so? Even if I tell them about all your misdeeds?! And when have you never directly bullied the tin can? Every time you bathe her…”

 

“Okay, okay. That’s enough, so why don’t you both shut up now?”

 

But at that moment, someone spoke in a dry voice from behind.

 

When she turned her head, the threads connected to the servants’ souls snapped and the dining hall became quiet.

 

Veil was standing behind them.

 

“Money really is good, isn’t it? Who would have known that communication devices these days can record too. I wonder, can they transmit as well?”

 

In his palm was the communication device that had been upstairs.

 

“Th-that’s…!”

 

One of the servants’ faces turned pale.

 

The other servant also opened her mouth in surprise.

 

“Child, I did well, didn’t I?”

 

Meanwhile, Veil slowly walked over and stood in front of Tie.

 

“I saw you moving, so I immediately went and got it. How about it, doesn’t it feel like we work perfectly together? I’m better than Basto, right? Huh?”

 

When Veil manipulated the buttons on the surface of the communication device, clear sounds flowed out from inside.

 

-My mouth just moved on its own…!

 

-Don’t you know you’ll get fired if you say things like this right in front of her, no matter how easy and stupid the young lady is?! Ugh, carelessly throwing away a job where you can work half-heartedly and get good pay…

 

Tie looked at Veil with admiring eyes while listening to the recording.

 

He had definitely been right next to her just moments ago.

 

Veil had really gone to the 2nd floor and back in the blink of an eye.

 

It was a moment when she could understand why Raul always praised Veil’s agility.

 

The recording continued playing.

 

-I never directly bullied the tin can like you did!

 

-Is that so? Even if I tell them about all the misdeeds you’ve committed?!

 

“Give that here!”

 

Just then, one of the servants rushed at Veil.

 

However, Veil lightly twisted his body to dodge the servant and wore an amused smile on his lips.

 

“Ah, so you want to do it this way? I won’t stop you if you want to show such an ugly sight in front of the children… Are you sure? It won’t end lightly.”

 

Startled, Tie quickly ran to Veil.

 

“Don’t do it, Veil oppa! You promised to wash your fists with Tie!”

 

“…”

 

After the silence.

 

Veil made a clicking sound as he stared at the communication device.

 

“Yeah, well. What’s the point of interfering in other people’s family affairs.”

 

Then he operated the communication device,

 

“As expected, it’s best to let them solve it themselves at times like this.”

 

He transmitted the recorded voice to the coordinates Selina had input.

 

“Wh-what did you just do?”

 

Selina, who had come to her senses, quickly got down from the chair.

 

And she struggled to snatch the communication device from Veil’s hand.

 

“Where did you send that, huh?!”

 

Veil held the communication device up high and answered calmly.

 

“There was only one saved coordinate, wasn’t there? Aren’t they your parents?”

 

Tears welled up in Selina’s eyes.

 

“Th-that’s right, but you never got permission to send something like that! Give it here!”

 

It was when Veil frowned.

 

“Selina, don’t do that…!”

 

Tie hugged Selina tightly while sniffling.

 

Then she spoke in a sorrowful voice with a choked throat.

 

“Tie knows you don’t want to make Father and Mother sad. But if you don’t tell them now, Father and Mother will be a hundred times, a thousand times sadder later!”

 

When she was in South Korea.

 

Father only found out much later that the lady from Room 205 had been mistreating Tie.

 

It was after the neighbors who noticed something was wrong had a big fight with the lady from Room 205.

 

At that time, Father looked the saddest Tie had ever seen him.

 

“Selina did nothing wrong!”

 

Selina’s lips parted slightly.

 

Just as Selina was about to respond, looking like she would burst into tears at any moment.

 

“Kyaaaaaaak-!”

 

This time, a sharp scream came from the direction of the entrance.

 

Then Veil threw the communication device he was holding up into the air and caught it, muttering as if he had been waiting.

 

“Right on time, there’s a reaction from over there too.”

 

He looked at Tie and smiled.

 

“Child. Want to see the effect of your poison needle once?”
