A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 189

 

At first, she didn’t believe it.

 

She thought her mind had gone half-mad from dying and coming back to life.

 

‘Because otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense in the first place!’

 

But the memories only grew clearer and clearer in her mind.

 

Livia trembled as she held her sword pointed, biting her lips.

 

Even at this moment, images of her past self flashed rapidly through her mind.

 

‘Did you see? Did you see it! The young lady smiling!’

 

Astie was like a gift to Trevaga.

 

Not just because she was Tesetan’s daughter, but because Astie was simply that lovable a child.

 

‘How can she smile so beautifully? She’s the complete opposite of the leader, you know?’

 

When Astie was first brought in, Trevaga’s atmosphere wasn’t good.

 

For reasons unknown, Tesetan at that time was gradually sinking into a swamp.

 

He spoke less and had no motivation for sieges.

 

He barely even ate or slept.

 

He seemed to be planning to disband the mercenary group.

 

More precisely, he appeared to be questioning his entire life.

 

But then one day.

 

Tesetan returned with a child in his arms.

 

That was Astie, and from that day on, Astie became Trevaga’s treasure.

 

‘Damn it, I went to the shopping district… but they don’t have any.’

 

‘What?! Then what do we do!’

 

‘What do you mean what do we do? We’ll just have to finish with this much.’

 

‘Hey, are you done talking?! We have twenty-seven members but only twenty-six birthday gifts for the young lady – does that make sense?! Go get one more thing, the most expensive and best one in this town!’

 

Tie was just like sunshine.

 

She smiled brightly at everyone, and just being near her seemed to melt away fatigue.

 

The officers Livia, Aleric, and Victor were particularly close to Tie.

 

‘When will our young lady start walking~’

 

‘What are you expecting from someone who can’t even hold her head up yet, Livia.’

 

‘Victor, you shut up. Our young lady is a genius, so she might just suddenly get up and start walking one day!’

 

She thought they would be happy.

 

Sieges were just the usual work they always did, and Astie was growing up healthy and strong.

 

Most of all, Tesetan’s change after having a daughter was enough to amaze everyone.

 

He who had lived with chronic insomnia began sleeping so deeply next to Tie that he wouldn’t notice members passing by.

 

Not only that?

 

He learned to say uncharacteristically warm words and make trivial jokes…

 

“It was good.”

 

The tendons in Livia’s jaw bulged.

 

“The leader even bought a house and land. He said he’d retire and live happily with just the young lady!”

 

At that time, Tesetan hurried the sieges.

 

Unlike before, those weren’t sieges to make money.

 

Tesetan wanted to cleanly clear the territory where he would settle down with Astie.

 

That’s why he chose the Elderin Plains.

 

The Elderin Region was located on top of wide open fields.

 

The wide field of vision allowed them to quickly notice mastone formation, and it was relatively safe from monster attacks.

 

The problem was that there were several unconquered medium-sized mastones in the ravine below the plains,

 

“Disgusting… monster bastard.”

 

Livia growled at Lucalion.

 

When they first went to survey those mastones, they didn’t know what was hidden behind them.

 

Since they were registered as medium-sized mastones, they thought it would end after cutting down a few manageable monsters.

 

But it wasn’t.

 

“You were different from the ordinary ones. You had intelligence. Knowing everything, knowing everything, you did that to my comrades…”

 

Hot tears welled up in Livia’s eyes.

 

That day was similar to today.

 

The sudden onset of the Day of Destruction cornered Trevaga.

 

Lucalion standing before her trapped the members in his web and killed them one by one.

 

It was more horrifying because the creature had the form of a young human.

 

The way monsters followed Lucalion’s commands could only be described as spine-chilling.

 

“You killed Victor too, and Aleric too…”

 

Livia readjusted her grip on her sword.

 

“And you killed me too. What did you do to the leader and the young lady after that!”

 

Tears dripped down Livia’s cheeks.

 

Perhaps because she had experienced it twice?

 

The moment her heart stopped seemed to come back to life vividly.

 

Lucalion was an unbeatable existence.

 

Even Tesetan, the strongest mercenary of his time, couldn’t defeat him despite giving his all.

 

The creature was on a different dimension from ordinary monsters.

 

It wasn’t a monster, but felt like facing a sovereign ruling over all monsters.

 

The members were annihilated.

 

As she handed Astie, who she had been holding, to Tesetan, there was only one thing she prayed for.

 

If there was such a thing as God in this world, please let at least those two people escape from this hell.

 

While it was natural for someone like her, who had lived rummaging through monster entrails her whole life, to have such an end, the young lady was different.

 

What wrong had a baby who had just been born done?

 

It was a prayer that would never receive an answer.

 

But.

 

“Answer me, right now! What did you do!”

 

After being healed by Astie and suddenly having those memories flood into her mind, she now knew.

 

“Why is the young lady here now?”

 

By Livia’s calculations, Tie shouldn’t exist in this place.

 

How could a child who hadn’t been born yet exist in this world?

 

Also.

 

“The leader… why doesn’t the leader know anything?”

 

Tears flowed down her stiffened cheeks.

 

Beyond Tesetan who had turned away from Astie, her own image from the past few weeks overlapped.

 

“Why, why on earth couldn’t I recognize the young lady either!”

 

She had grown a lot, but it was definitely Astie.

 

After regaining the fragments of memory, it was a face she couldn’t help but recognize.

 

And yet…

 

‘Aunt Livia, good morning!’

 

‘Auntie, Tie likes auntie.’

 

‘Auntie! Auntie!’

 

He had turned away the child who approached with a bright face several times.

 

Because he didn’t know that Astie was Astie.

 

“I’m going to cut you down.”

 

Livia gritted her teeth and took a step closer to Lucalion.

 

Right now, she couldn’t think of anything else to do.

 

Back then too, Lucalion had that same expression.

 

With the face of a harmless boy, his red eyes gleaming vividly as he killed the members one by one.

 

“I’ll get revenge, bring the young lady back! Bring her back right now—!”

 

As Livia screamed and swayed greatly, Aleric hurriedly supported her.

 

Livia staggered and dropped her sword.

 

She glared at the fallen sword with frustration, then finally collapsed to the ground and began to sob.

 

Lucalion froze in place.

 

‘…My doing?’

 

What exactly did they mean was his doing?

 

He had searched through records from all over the world, but could never find anything about himself.

 

He also couldn’t know what had happened before he fell asleep inside the black stone—no, the Resting Couch.

 

Lucalion unconsciously gritted his teeth.

 

His first memory was the sound of Astie’s laughter.

 

The sounds he heard from within the Resting Couch, of Astie laughing, crying, and babbling.

 

When his complicated gaze was trembling.

 

“Right now. What exactly are you all talking about.”

 

Basto, who had been silent the whole time, stepped forward.

 

He looked at Livia and Lucalion once each, then furrowed his brow.

 

“Who exactly are you referring to as the young lady? Don’t tell me…”

 

Veil had been holding his breath without making any sound at some point.

 

As if he didn’t even have time to speak while mulling over their conversation.

 

“…I.”

 

Lucalion lowered his head.

 

He feared being tracked.

 

Even though his memories weren’t intact, the feeling that someone was pursuing him always tormented him.

 

So he had to hide, and he thought the only way to protect Tie, who shouldn’t be where she was, was to keep everything secret.

 

But.

 

If, as Livia said, he was the root of all this trouble?

 

If all of this really started from his hands.

 

Lucalion’s tightly closed lips opened.

 

“I crossed… the timeline.”

 

Livia, who had been crying, froze momentarily.

 

The others held their breath and stared at Lucalion.

 

Lucalion raised his head.

 

He recalled the day when all of this began.

 

That day in another world, when Tesetan returned as a keepsake box.

 

At the same time.

 

“Hey, look over there. What’s that?”

 

Two college students who were returning after watching a fantasy series movie at the cinema stopped in their tracks.

 

“Look at that person’s clothes. Crazy, wait, is that blood?”

 

“Huh, hey. There’s a kid next to them too.”

 

At that sound, someone lying on the park lawn opened their eyes wide.

 

Confused green eyes slowly surveyed the surroundings.

 

The strangely bright night sky.

 

The tall buildings and structures, and the lights of the night view visible everywhere.

 

Tie opened her mouth in disbelief.

 

“Korea…?”
