A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 170

Tesetan leaned against the window at an angle.

The Commander King, half-buried in the bed, gaped in shock.

“Through the window…! How…?!”

Tesetan shrugged his shoulders with a dry expression.

“What’s so surprising about that.”

He had decided this afternoon that he needed to have a talk with the Commander King alone.

To find out what exactly was inside that exterior, he left the Luminen Estate as soon as dinner ended.

Contrary to his expectations, his father and brothers didn’t try to stop him.

Instead, they adjusted his clothes and spoke affectionately.

‘See you again.’

They said.

After interrogating(?) Rio, while waiting alone in the Commander King’s room, he suddenly remembered.

‘That snake-like bastard will probably cause trouble again.’

Would that unit member called Veil or whatever just stay quiet after seeing him in the Commander King’s room?

He didn’t know why they served their leader that way, but the Agavert members literally overprotected the Commander King.

Why did they fuss so much over someone who could summon the dead and command familiars to cast meteor shower-like attacks?

Anyway, he changed his plan.

Instead of waiting in the room, he decided to lurk behind the manor with a sigh.

He was worried that if he stayed in the room and encountered someone, it might cause trouble.

When he heard the Commander King’s presence and climbed the wall, he honestly wondered what the hell he was doing.

But who could he blame?

He was the one who had started all this mess.

He was the one who suggested the sword duel first due to his twisted competitive spirit, and he was the one who received help in a life-threatening crisis.

Since he was the one curious about the Commander King’s identity right now, he had no choice but to do whatever it took.

“You.”

He said.

The Commander King was now hugging a pillow and staring at him intently.

“Mmm…?”

“What’s your identity?”

The Commander King’s eyes widened.

“My, my, identity…?”

“What’s your identity that only my subordinates and I don’t know, but others do?”

The Commander King began rolling his eyes around.

His restless hands showed just how flustered he was.

Tesetan’s eyes narrowed.

‘So he really is intentionally hiding it only from me.’

But why?

He soon closed his mouth.

Once again, the atrocities he had committed against the Commander King came to mind automatically.

Of course, even so, the Commander King had been consistently friendly toward Tesetan.

He had even said something as soft as a ripe peach last time,

‘Tie likes… Hammer.’

Hadn’t he?

Tesetan let out a short sigh.

“I know there have been various unpleasant incidents between us. No…”

“…”

“Right. I unilaterally caused unpleasant incidents. I admit it.”

The Commander King was still keeping his mouth shut tight while looking at him.

“But anyway. Now I’m Agabert’s Regent.”

“…”

“Do you think it makes sense for a Regent not to know the true appearance of his leader?”

The sound of the Commander King gulping echoed in the quiet room.

Tesetan patiently waited for the Commander King’s answer.

But sure enough, after a long while, the Commander King shook his head.

“Can’t, can’t do it.”

“What?”

“Even if Tie kills me, I can’t answer!”

Tesetan’s eyebrow twitched slightly.

As expected. The Commander King didn’t seem to have any intention of obediently revealing his identity.

However, Tesetan didn’t have time.

He didn’t know when those Agavert unit bastards might barge in.

If a third party got involved, it would become even harder to get the answer he wanted.

The Commander King would escape the situation as if he’d been waiting for it.

Tesetan finally got up from the window he’d been leaning against.

Then he pulled over a chair, placed it in front of the Commander King’s bed, and sat down.

“Everyone else knows, but you don’t want to tell only me. Is that it?”

The Commander King nodded.

Tesetan held his breath for a moment.

Then he let out a sigh as if to show off.

“…How disappointing.”

The Commander King’s eyes widened.

“Of course I acted like a piece of shit. But I thought you made me Regent because you trusted me.”

“Mmm…?”

“I didn’t even know what my family had been doing for years. But it seems you’ve been close with my family.”

“Th, that’s…!”

“The fact that you don’t want to reveal your identity only to me must be because you don’t trust me, right? You call us the same family, but in your heart you’ve been viewing the existing members and me differently. Well, I expected it.”

“Huh?! That’s not it!”

Tesetan smiled bitterly.

“I know too. Who in the world would like me? Unless they were crazy.”

“…!”

The Commander King jumped up from his spot and rushed toward Tesetan.

But the Commander King swayed greatly when he reached the edge of the bed.

Tesetan reflexively stood up and caught him.

An awkward atmosphere flowed through the room.

The Commander King’s green eyes that Tesetan looked down at were shaking violently.

“Tie doesn’t dislike Regent Hammer…!”

At the Commander King’s shout, Tesetan unconsciously parted his lips.

But he came to his senses and smiled bitterly once more.

“Forget it. The more I talk, the more miserable I become.”

“Re, really not!”

The Commander King looked at Tesetan’s face restlessly.

He thought while receiving that intense gaze.

‘As expected. This approach works.’

The fact that the Commander King had feelings for him was something impossible not to notice.

Not only did she spare Tesetan who had rushed to kill her, but she even let him join the mercenary group.

And for the past few days, claiming she wanted to see him, the leader and regent, she kept climbing over the fence to the neighboring house until it wore thin.

“If Tie says so….”

Then, the Commander King spoke in a crawling voice.

A slight gleam flickered in Tesetan’s eyes.

“Says what?”

“Won’t you leave Agabert?”

Got it.

Tesetan almost smiled but held it back and managed his expression.

And he answered calmly.

“I have no intention of leaving the mercenary group. That was a decision made to fulfill an oath sworn on the covenant ring. It’s separate from this current matter.”

The Commander King hesitantly nodded.

But what he just said was also Tesetan’s true feelings.

With Trevaga disbanded, he had no desire to form a new mercenary group.

And life without being a leader wasn’t as bad as he’d thought either.

Following the Commander King around was better than expected, and meeting his family today too….

“Ahem, anyway, I won’t leave.”

The Commander King nodded and slowly stepped back.

Only then did Tesetan realize he was still holding the Commander King’s arm.

As the Commander King sat down on the bed with a noble expression, Tesetan also hesitantly sat back down in the chair.

How much time had passed?

The Commander King opened her mouth in a barely audible voice.

“Actually… I’m a baby.”

Tesetan furrowed his brow.

He was waiting tensely, wondering what words would come from that mouth.

If not that, he expected to see the Commander King’s body grow larger and reveal her true form.

But the Commander King just scratched her head with a dejected face and continued speaking while watching his reaction.

“Actually… Tie didn’t disguise herself at all. I’m just a baby. Four years old.”

“Hahaha.”

Tesetan burst into laughter without realizing it.

As expected, he had underestimated the Commander King.

Pretending to fall for his scheme while actually toying with him….

“Tie came looking for daddy, but suddenly got powers….”

The Commander King’s lips pursed.

She stared at Tesetan, then suddenly began crying with a pitiful expression.

“They said if you have too much power, the Order will take you away. And people will just use Tie.”

“….”

The Commander King sobbed even more.

“So Nordics Grandfather, Brother Veil, and Uncle Basto helped hide my power. Now I have to live here, but if it’s revealed that I’m just a child, Tie will be in big trouble….”

Tesetan blinked slowly.

At this moment, it felt like time was flowing slowly only around him.

‘Are you crazy?! Why are you even wearing something like this!’

‘If I kill you today, I’ll reclaim the number one employment rank, right?’

‘You bastard, piece of trash, I’ll kill you-!’

Scenes from the sword duel day flashed quickly through his mind.

Putting the covenant ring on those tiny wrists that were barely a handful.

The slash he had delivered to the Commander King who came running in terror. And,

“….”

The disguise that didn’t break even when she was injured and unconscious.

Tesetan slowly stood up from his seat.

And after staring intently at Astie, he barely managed to turn around.

He staggered as he opened the door and went outside.

“Why is this crazy bastard coming out here!”

Veil, who was passing by the door, pointed at him accusingly, but Tesetan went down the stairs.

And he walked trudgingly into his own house,

“Leader! What, what’s wrong?!”

He banged his head against the first wall he saw.
