A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 137

 

Tie, who had rushed to the entrance, gaped in shock.

 

“Gasp, the poison needle bombs really…!”

 

The entrance.

 

Eight servants lay sprawled in front of the stairs where the cart had been placed.

 

Each had thorns stuck all over their arms and legs, looking exactly like chestnuts.

 

“I thought their eyes looked like starving rat pups for weeks.”

 

Veil leisurely walked toward the cart.

 

Under the sacks of gold coins in the cart, two poison needle bombs he had placed were split wide open, still activated.

 

“Maid Steward!”

 

“Sister!”

 

Rea and Helga, who had followed Tie’s group outside, collapsed to the floor.

 

It was in front of the Maid Steward who lay closest to the cart.

 

“Sister! What’s wrong, are you okay? Huh?!”

 

However, the Maid Steward didn’t answer.

 

With a stiff face, she only wheezed and rolled her eyes.

 

Veil said nonchalantly.

 

“She can’t answer. That’s paralysis poison.”

 

Rea and Helga’s faces turned pale.

 

“What, what did you say? Are you insane right now?! Are you planning to kill everyone?!”

 

However, Veil didn’t even blink.

 

“Yeah. Is that not okay?”

 

“What do you mean!”

 

“It’s okay for you guys to bully an innocent child. But it’s not okay for me to bully you guys a little?”

 

“That, that’s…!”

 

As if at a loss for words, the servants moved their lips helplessly.

 

Veil looked at Tie.

 

“Child. You tell me. I’ll follow your opinion since you’re the Danzu.”

 

Tie made a troubled expression.

 

People who couldn’t move and could only roll their eyes.

 

That sight was indeed a little frightening, but,

 

‘If it’s dangerous, don’t worry and feel free to use it, Tie. I’m putting it in your bag because it’s a weapon you can handle. This poison is paralysis poison – it won’t endanger lives and can be quickly cured with an antidote.’

 

According to Basto, the poison needle bombs weren’t dangerous enough to harm people’s lives.

 

If hit, it would hurt a little and paralyze the body for a while?

 

“Hurry up and tell me. What are you going to do?”

 

Tie pressed both hands firmly against her cheeks and agonized.

 

But at that moment, the hands of the fallen servants came into view.

 

Each of them was clutching a handful of gold coins they had stolen from Tie’s cart.

 

Tie’s face slowly became serious.

 

‘…Really, such bad people!’

 

The servants of this house had not only bullied Selina but also tried to steal Tie’s money.

 

Making a hundred concessions, she could forgive the money since she could earn more, but,

 

‘Multiple adults bullying a child is a crime!’

 

Tie, having made up her mind, opened her eyes wide.

 

“Selina, do you know this? A needle thief becomes a gold coin thief.”

 

“Gold coin thief…? What’s that?”

 

“Mm-hmm, it means that thieves who steal Tie’s gold coins all started by stealing small things like needles!”

 

Selina’s eyes widened.

 

Soon the child opened her mouth with a darkened face.

 

“That’s right. Actually…”

 

However, Selina couldn’t finish her words and hunched her shoulders.

 

‘Why, why can’t I suddenly breathe?’

 

It was because the fear she had been holding back suddenly surged forward.

 

At first, she didn’t speak because she didn’t want to worry her parents.

 

But at some point, even when she wanted to confess the truth to her parents, she couldn’t.

 

When facing the servants, her chest would tighten and she couldn’t breathe.

 

Hallucinations echoed buzzing in her ears.

 

‘Nothing will change. Forever and ever.’

 

With the feeling of her body sinking into a deep swamp, just as Selina’s legs were about to give out.

 

“Selina, look at Tie.”

 

Tie firmly grasped Selina’s hand.

 

Then, as if reading Selina’s heart, she said.

 

“Listen, don’t be scared. Tie will bring all the members and protect Selina from now on! Okay?”

 

Selina couldn’t say anything.

 

Without realizing it, tears welled up in her eyes.

 

‘…She said she was a mercenary.’

 

Was that why?

 

Tie was a brave and kind child.

 

She was more dignified than other noble children attending the Imperial Academy, and more mature than herself, who was a year older.

 

Selina suddenly recalled the day Tie had moved to the front mansion.

 

An evening when the festival was in full swing.

 

It was the night when all the servants had abandoned Selina and gone out to the streets.

 

Selina had discovered Tie for the first time that day while looking out the window.

 

A manor brightly lit with lights.

 

A person welcoming the child across the garden, and faces densely surrounding them, smiling brightly.

 

Everyone around Tie looked at her with loving eyes.

 

They gently stroked her head, and affection overflowed from every gesture of lifting and embracing her.

 

That’s why Selina had climbed over the fence into Tie’s house the next day.

 

Because the warmth surrounding Tie looked so enviable and warm.

 

Just once, really just once would be fine, because she wanted to touch that warmth too.

 

‘Our daughter is doing well, right? The Maid Steward said so? She eats well and goes to the preparatory school well! Mother thinks our daughter is so admirable and pretty. Mother will come once this contract is secured, so wait just a little longer, okay?’

 

‘Selina! Our pretty daughter! Father bought lots of presents for you. I always love you, Selina. If we endure just a few more years, you and your children can be completely established in Jedo. Even though we suffered…’

 

Selina’s parents were people who terribly hated poverty.

 

It was because they were desperately poor when Selina was just born.

 

Mother once said.

 

When Selina was a newborn, milk didn’t come out well, so she had to enter the forest teeming with monsters.

 

That’s why Father was missing one arm.

 

Even after losing his arm to a monster, Father continued entering the forest to gather herbs.

 

Because only by making porridge with those herbs could Mother and Selina eat something.

 

But young Selina once ate that herb porridge and became seriously ill.

 

Her entire back was covered with boils, and she nearly died.

 

It was from then that her parents began working desperately.

 

Father threw himself into dangerous work he had never done before with his unhealthy body.

 

Mother did the same.

 

When Selina was just starting to walk, they moved about once every few weeks.

 

From outside The Order to the outskirts, from the outskirts to the central region.

 

And finally, to Rosewerbel Street.

 

As a result of her parents starting a trading business and gaining favor with the high-ranking members of the Order, Selina had at some point become a baroness’s daughter.

 

‘We’re safe now, dear! Now we can finally raise our daughter in a safe place…!’

 

‘Sob… Selina!’

 

That day.

 

Selina saw her parents crying tears of joy.

 

She saw her father’s empty sleeve fluttering every time he sobbed.

 

Selina told herself over and over again.

 

This is a good thing.

 

So I should be happy and grateful too.

 

Everything was achieved through Mother and Father’s hard work all this time.

 

But…

 

When she saw her parents leaving again soon after returning from business trips, she wanted to say:

 

I don’t want money.

 

I never wanted the status of being a baron’s daughter either.

 

What I want is… just to be with Mother and Father.

 

Tears flowed.

 

Astie wiped away Selina’s tears.

 

“Se, Selina. Don’t cry…”

 

For a long time, she had grieved alone in silence.

 

Because the wounds from the servants’ rough hands hurt, because she was hungry, or because she was lonely.

 

“Tie keeps crying too…”

 

But this moment was somehow different.

 

Selina looked at Tie and clumsily wiped her own eyes.

 

She hadn’t known that having someone by her side could give her such courage.

 

‘Tie is… a friend…’

 

Tie was Selina’s friend.

 

A friend she couldn’t make no matter how much she wished and tried, but finally had now.

 

Selina opened her lips.

 

And with a barely audible voice, she sniffled.

 

“Tie. Actually, the Maid Steward… took my expensive belongings, saying she would clean them for me.”

 

Her voice trembled, but she tried to speak clearly.

 

“And, sob, she never gave them back. They were mine, things Mother and Father gave me!”

 

The tears she had been holding back began to pour out again.

 

Tie’s lips parted slightly.

 

Soon Tie turned to look at Veil.

 

Her face was filled with an angry expression.

 

Tie spoke as if for everyone to hear.

 

“…You know, Brother Veil. If we don’t give them the antidote, all the people hit by the poison darts will go to heaven, right?”

 

The servants flinched, and Veil’s expression became strange.

 

The fact that people don’t die from poison darts was something Veil and Tie knew best.

 

‘But for her to say that anyway…’

 

Veil smiled as if finding it interesting.

 

“…Wow, our little one. You’ve really become a Commander King, haven’t you?”
