A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 153

 

“Ugh, why am I so anxious?”

 

Livia said.

 

Aleric glared at her.

 

“Don’t say ominous things, Livia.”

 

But Livia couldn’t shake off her uneasy expression.

 

She glanced once at Tesetan, who was maintaining his sword in the distance, then continued speaking.

 

“Don’t you find it strange? That the Commander King accepted this duel?”

 

In Livia’s view, the Commander King had no reason to accept the duel.

 

Tesetan also agreed with her opinion on this.

 

That’s why he deliberately provoked the Commander King even more.

 

To rile up his temper and make him accept the duel in a fit of rage.

 

But Tesetan didn’t need to spend much time provoking the Commander King.

 

With just a few obvious provocative remarks, the Commander King immediately took the bait.

 

“Look! They’re completely on high alert over there too!”

 

Indeed, where Livia gestured with her chin, Agabert’s unit members were gathered in a circle.

 

The Commander King wasn’t visible, buried among the unit members, but even at a glance, the atmosphere over there was very serious.

 

“It was an impulsive action. Even their unit members couldn’t predict the Commander King’s behavior. That’s how nonsensical it is!”

 

“But what can we do about it now?”

 

Aleric stepped forward.

 

“Livia, the duel has already been accepted. The leader will fight the Commander King.”

 

Livia muttered in a half-believing voice.

 

“…Could it be that the Commander King is stronger than our leader?”

 

Her gaze wavered anxiously.

 

“Otherwise, how would it make sense? He must have power that hasn’t been revealed to the public yet. Something that could easily dispose of our leader with just a flick of his hand. So, knowing he would win anyway, he accepted this duel…!”

 

“Stop it, Livia. Do you really want Trevaga to be disbanded?”

 

Victor clicked his tongue.

 

“No, I’m just anxious!”

 

“Enough. All we can do now is watch anyway.”

 

Aleric sighed and rummaged through his belongings.

 

Soon he pulled something out from within.

 

It was a pair of covenant rings that hadn’t been used for a long time.

 

Covenant rings.

 

High-grade magical tools that protect oaths and promises.

 

Duel participants always wore these magical tools before starting their fight.

 

The victor could remove the ring the moment the duel ended.

 

But the loser couldn’t remove the ring until they fulfilled all the promises made before the duel.

 

The problem was that the longer time passed, the deeper the ring would dig into the flesh.

 

Eventually, unless the winner personally removed the ring, the loser who didn’t keep their promise would lose their hand.

 

Since nothing was more important to a swordsman than their wrist, it was a structure where the loser had no choice but to keep their promise to remove the ring.

 

“I’m anxious, ah, really anxious!”

 

Aleric fiddled with the ring while listening to Livia’s muttering.

 

He too was genuinely uneasy.

 

‘But surely not.’

 

Tesetan, their leader, wouldn’t be defeated.

 

That’s what he thought.

 

Meanwhile.

 

“Uncle Basto, Tie just needs to win, right?”

 

Tie glumly grabbed and shook Basto’s arm.

 

But Basto kept his mouth tightly shut and said nothing.

 

Tie could tell that Basto was extremely angry at this moment.

 

Nordics’ complexion was just as pale.

 

“Tie. That guy is a swordsman. He’ll try to engage in close combat, so if a dangerous situation arises…”

 

Nordics had been explaining to Tie about every possible situation that could unfold, without rest for a while now.

 

Where was Veil?

 

He had left the group and was sitting alone in the distance.

 

At his expression that somehow looked like his soul had left his body, Tie glumly lowered her gaze.

 

‘…It’s Tie’s fault.’

 

Tie knew well that dueling was dangerous.

 

And when doing dangerous things, she had to consult with the unit members first.

 

Because that’s what they had promised.

 

But Tie had arbitrarily answered that she would duel.

 

‘But I couldn’t not do it…’

 

Though she didn’t know it would be today, Tie had been imagining and preparing for this day for a very long time.

 

When she met Father, Tie had to keep Father by her side no matter what.

 

Since they met with such difficulty, they couldn’t part again.

 

But Father, who didn’t remember Tie and was in his stormy period, wouldn’t willingly stay by her side.

 

‘So Tie thought hard about it.’

 

There were actually quite a few methods to try.

 

From openly following him around to disbanding the mercenary group and becoming Father’s subordinate.

 

But all these methods had fatal flaws.

 

There was always something Tie would have to give up.

 

‘If I follow him around, Father might run away forever.’

 

Disbanding the mercenary group to become Father’s subordinate was impossible since it meant saying goodbye to her current companions.

 

Because of this, Tie’s head had been too complicated all this time.

 

She had so many worries alone that she lost sleep at night.

 

But today.

 

Father, whom she finally met, presented an unexpected solution.

 

‘…A duel, he said?’

 

Paladin versus paladin.

 

No, a fight between mercenary versus mercenary.

 

To have this duel, there was a promise that had to be made before fighting.

 

Deciding what each would give up if they lost.

 

And according to Basto, this promise had to be kept.

 

If not kept, you’d go to prison and be punished with magical tools too.

 

Tie thought this was an opportunity.

 

‘Maybe Tie can win?’

 

After awakening Marbas.

 

Tie had been diligently practicing mana manipulation with Kamang’s help.

 

Every time they attacked Mastone, she summoned bone friends, and had created far more subordinates than before.

 

Moreover, the place where the duel would take place was quite advantageous for Tie.

 

‘Absolutely not in the square. His Majesty the Emperor would never look favorably upon displaying force here.’

 

Following the Princess’s, no, the Association President’s instructions, Father and Tie were scheduled to move to a nearby empty ruins.

 

Of course, the unit members would come too, and for some reason, the Luminen Family seemed ready to follow as well.

 

“Ppupppu says there are tons of bone friends at the ruins. Tie will be super strong, right?”

 

Tie worked hard to reassure the unit members.

 

However, the worry cast over the members’ faces could not easily be erased.

 

Just then.

 

“Hey.”

 

Someone approached Agabert.

 

As Raul and Enzo stepped aside, blazing red hair came into view.

 

‘…Gasp, that woman!’

 

‘Miss. You must always stay healthy. And smile a lot with the leader.’

 

Father’s subordinate that Tie had seen in dreams while in Pearl City.

 

It was that woman who had held Tie tightly in her arms and protected her until the very moment she was dying from the monsters!

 

“You’re all ready, right? If you don’t have any other schemes, hurry up. Our leader is all prepared.”

 

But the woman’s tone was completely different from what Tie had seen in the dream.

 

Tie unconsciously drooped her eyebrows.

 

However, she soon nodded her head spiritedly.

 

“Yes, we’re ready! Yo!”

 

The woman looked at Tie with lukewarm eyes.

 

“…I really can’t get used to this.”

 

Then she tossed a teleportation scroll at Agabert’s feet.

 

It was a teleportation scroll that could transport them to the location where the duel was to take place.

 

“Let’s go! Tie will win!”

 

Tie ran over excitedly, picked up the teleportation scroll, and shouted in a bright voice.

 

Raul and Enzo had no choice but to nod their heads.

 

Soon Enzo spoke the coordinates and tore the teleportation scroll.

 

After enduring the nauseating feeling for a moment, the surroundings had already changed.

 

In the distance, they could see people from Trevaga, the Frost Association, and the Luminen Family arriving in turn.

 

Basto swallowed a sigh and bent one knee.

 

As he was about to adjust Tie’s cloak, once again a silver-haired man from Trevaga’s side approached and held something out.

 

“This is the Covenant Ring.”

 

Tie gulped.

 

‘So this is that promise bracelet.’

 

Basto had told her about it.

 

Once you wear this bracelet, you have no choice but to keep your promise.

 

However, just as Tie was about to extend her wrist, Veil approached angrily.

 

“Are you crazy?! Making her wear something like this!”

 

Veil glared at Aleric.

 

“Our leader is going to do the duel you asked for. Isn’t that enough?”

 

Aleric’s brow furrowed.

 

“The Covenant Ring is, in principle…”

 

At that moment, Tesetan leisurely revealed himself from behind Aleric.

 

He took the Covenant Ring from Aleric’s hand and ostentatiously put it on his own wrist.

 

Then he looked at Veil and smiled coldly.

 

“Is there such a thing as half-hearted in a duel where lives are at stake?”

 

“What the hell is this crazy bastard saying? What’s with the sudden talk about lives! A duel is an honorable fight!”

 

“Sorry, but my duels aren’t like that.”

 

In the blink of an eye, Tesetan grabbed Tie’s wrist.

 

And before anyone could stop him, he slipped the Covenant Ring onto it.

 

Seeing the ring tighten to fit the child’s wrist, murderous intent flashed across the faces of the Agavert members.
