A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 162

 

“What the hell are you doing here, you bastard?!”

 

Veil froze in place upon seeing Tesetan.

 

From the 2nd floor, Basto, Raul, and Enzo came running down.

 

The recently recruited unit members stood at the 2nd floor railing, looking down with curious faces.

 

“I heard from Livia.”

 

But Tesetan paid no mind to the stares and walked boldly toward Tie.

 

Raul and Enzo tried to block his path, but Nordics held them back.

 

Standing before Tie, Tesetan slowly scanned the weapons laid out on the table.

 

“I won’t ask for my greatsword back. But the unit members’ weapons…”

 

“Wait!”

 

But Tie abruptly cut off his words.

 

And blinked while feeling his heart pounding.

 

‘Conversation, I need to have a good conversation.’

 

Livia’s voice emphasizing conversation with Father echoed in his head.

 

Tie swallowed and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from his dress pocket.

 

Tesetan furrowed his brow.

 

“What’s this?”

 

Tie unfolded the paper and held it out to Father.

 

Father looked at the paper and read the crooked letters written on it.

 

“Good and healthy conversation rules?”

 

Good and healthy conversation rules, no less than three of them!

 

It was a list Tie had written himself this morning.

 

‘Because Father here gets angry and loses his temper whenever he talks to Tie.’

 

If they didn’t set rules for conversation beforehand, Father would surely just say what he wanted and leave again.

 

So Tie decided to establish rules in advance.

 

‘Aunt Livia said so. Father comes because he wants to find his weapons.’

 

In other words, in this situation at least, Tie had the upper hand over Father.

 

Tie jumped down from the sofa and rummaged through his Hanbit Kindergarten bag in the corner.

 

And from it, he pulled out his favorite Tonnapang doll.

 

“Rule one! Taking turns speaking.”

 

Tesetan raised his gaze to look at Tie.

 

“From now on, only the person holding this doll can speak! The person without the doll has to listen, so no interrupting, no talking back, and no not listening in the middle!”

 

Tesetan’s lips parted slightly.

 

Still, Tie continued speaking energetically.

 

“Rule two is looking each other in the eyes when talking, rule three is using nice words. If you don’t follow the rules…”

 

Tie looked back and forth between the weapons and Father, then timidly added.

 

“Negotiation over!”

 

After the silence.

 

Tesetan let out a long sigh.

 

“…Do whatever you want.”

 

“Good!”

 

Tie held the doll in one hand and raised the other.

 

And just as he learned in kindergarten, he earnestly began stating his position first.

 

“Tie bought these weapons from Aunt Livia with lots of gold. So they’re Tie’s. I don’t think I can just give them to you, mister.”

 

The child quickly held out the doll to Tesetan.

 

Tesetan looked at Tie, then at the doll again, then closed his eyes tightly.

 

Then he gritted his teeth and took the Tanifang doll.

 

“…Ha.”

 

Tesetan opened his eyes after catching his breath.

 

It was because one of the rules the Commander King had set was ‘looking each other in the eyes when talking.’

 

“I am.”

 

However, he couldn’t continue his words easily.

 

Because green eyes were sparkling brightly right in front of him.

 

Every time the Commander King blinked, his pupils slowly dilated and contracted repeatedly.

 

Tesetan cleared his throat and barely parted his lips.

 

“…Even if my greatsword is one thing, I’d like the unit members’ weapons returned. I’ll somehow pay the price.”

 

The Commander King reached toward the table again.

 

Tesetan reflexively blocked the blade side of the greatsword with his arm.

 

But Tie only took the doll from him before answering.

 

“But Tie doesn’t do credit?”

 

“…”

 

Thud.

 

The doll was placed in Tesetan’s arms again.

 

Tesetan held back a sigh and placed the greatsword on the table floor instead.

 

Because he was somehow anxious about the Commander King constantly reaching toward the sharp edge.

 

He held the doll’s ear part between his thumb and index finger and said.

 

“Can’t you make an exception just this once?”

 

The Commander King shook his head.

 

This time he didn’t even bother taking the doll, as if the question wasn’t worth answering.

 

Tesetan felt troubled and adjusted his posture.

 

And after hesitating for a long time, he voiced the question that had been circling in his head.

 

“Why exactly do you want to take me in?”

 

The Commander King’s eyes widened slightly.

 

“I almost killed you. You can’t not know that.”

 

The entire first floor fell silent.

 

Even the Agavert unit members who had been laughing occasionally on the 2nd floor held their breath.

 

He could hear Veil growling ‘That bastard really…’ in his ears.

 

But then, the Commander King reached out his hand to Tesetan.

 

Tesetan hesitated before placing the doll on his hand.

 

The Commander King who took the doll hugged it tightly to his chest.

 

Then he looked into Tesetan’s eyes and spoke in a somewhat dejected voice.

 

“Tie… likes mister.”

 

“Cough!”

 

Basto, who had been drinking cold water from the kitchen, choked and coughed.

 

Tesetan stared blankly at the Commander King.

 

‘He likes me?’

 

Does that mean the reason he was favorable toward him was just that?

 

“Tie likes mister, so he just wants to be on the same side.”

 

Tesetan forgot he was supposed to receive the doll and asked back.

 

“Why?”

 

Can a person like another person for no reason?

 

Unless they’re family connected by blood.

 

However, the Commander King answered matter-of-factly.

 

“Don’t know. You can just like someone.”

 

Then he added.

 

“If you unite with Tie… I’ll make you vice-leader.”

 

“Hey, kid!”

 

Several Agavert unit members immediately came running.

 

But Tie didn’t even look their way as he gathered mana around them.

 

At the same time, a small barrier formed surrounding only Tesetan and Tie.

 

‘A barrier?’

 

Tesetan doubted his own eyes.

 

Even during their sword fight, the Commander King hadn’t been able to cast barriers directly.

 

He had only created barriers using summoned creatures, while he himself focused entirely on commanding the skeletons and wraiths.

 

But now.

 

The Commander King had deployed a barrier around them without a single incantation or small gesture.

 

Seeing how quiet it became outside, it seemed to be a sound-blocking barrier.

 

‘Did he train in such a short time?’

 

While he was thinking, the Commander King spoke.

 

“Tie will protect you.”

 

That was the moment.

 

‘Mother will protect you.’

 

When his mother’s green eyes overlapped with the Commander King’s pupils.

 

Tesetan unconsciously clenched his fists tight.

 

The Commander King was still holding the doll while staring intently at Tesetan.

 

“Tie will make you 1st place like Hammer likes, give you lots of food, and won’t beg for meat side dishes either.”

 

A faint moisture appeared over the green eyes that resembled his mother’s.

 

“Won’t throw tantrums either, and won’t be bothersome. Will give you tons and tons of vacation days so you don’t have to work every day.”

 

“….”

 

“Won’t ask you to buy sticker books either… Tie will listen well to Hammer.”

 

Tesetan took a short breath.

 

Suddenly, unexpected tears flowed down his cheeks.

 

He wiped under his eyes with a confused expression.

 

‘Why am I?’

 

He stared blankly at the moisture on his palm.

 

It was strange that tears could fall for no reason at all.

 

Watching such a Tesetan, the Commander King also teared up as he spoke.

 

“So, can’t you stay together with Tie?”

 

He sniffled and forced a smile.

 

“…Please….”

 

The Commander King’s hand had somehow reached Tesetan’s wrist where the covenant ring was attached.

 

Tesetan couldn’t say anything for a long while.

 

That day at noon.

 

Tesetan returned to Trebaga’s stronghold carrying all the weapons he had lost.

 

Though it was just moving to the neighboring house, Livia welcomed him with a bright face.

 

“Danzu, how did it go? Huh? What?!”

 

Tesetan silently held out the curved sword to Livia.

 

Then he also held out the orb to Aleric.

 

“We’re not moving the stronghold right away.”

 

Hanging his greatsword at his waist and climbing the stairs, he said.

 

“But your officer positions might disappear.”

 

Livia’s face brightened.

 

She pulled Aleric and Victor into a tight embrace.

 

“Waah! Then we don’t have to separate?! It’s not disbandment, right?! Yay!”

 

Tesetan chuckled softly as he turned the corner on the 2nd floor.

 

The covenant ring that had been on his wrist had already disappeared completely.
