A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 199
‘What is this?’
There was only one thought she could manage.
Jeongmyeongja blinked as she stared at the healing wound on her hand.
“Ah, child. You…”
Her voice came out trembling.
Tie, who had buried her head in her embrace, lifted her face.
“Aunt, hic! Tie is the Commander King.”
The child continued with a pitiful voice.
“Tie calls bone friends too. And calls subordinates too. Tie can catch all the bad and this-big Tyrannosaurus monsters all by herself.”
Jeongmyeongja’s lips quivered.
“Tie can catch the bad man who bothers Aunt too.”
At that moment, dozens of chains connected to Tie vibrated finely.
Simultaneously, strange sounds they had never heard before in their lives began reaching Chaeboksu and Jeongmyeongja’s ears.
[Let’s take her. We can take her.]
[She’s hanging there? Cut off her wrists.]
[She’s ours now. She’ll be delicious.]
It was a voice like someone whispering very quietly into their ears.
However, it didn’t sound like it belonged to the living at all.
Chaeboksu screamed “Oh my goodness!” and collapsed to the floor.
Jeongmyeongja also stared at Tie in surprise.
But the child herself showed no signs of fear or terror.
Rather, she opened her eyes wide and looked at the two people, then
“Quiet!”
Suddenly shouted into the air.
The whispers coming from all directions stopped abruptly.
“Grandmother and Aunt are scared! You should speak quietly, or only talk to bad people!”
Silence fell.
Even the wind that had been brushing through the alley stopped as if by magic.
One second later.
The whispers that had been cut off began to be heard again.
[She said be quiet. Master said be quiet.]
[Whisper. Whisper more quietly. Only whisper to this tasteless soul.]
[Should we eat this now? Should we cut it now?]
[Eat when Master says to eat. Leave it for now.]
[Let’s scare them. Let’s scare them.]
Jeongmyeongja looked once at her husband floating unconscious in the air.
Then she swallowed her saliva and looked at Tie again.
The light rippling around the child.
The transparent chains extending around her.
And her palm that had healed completely as if it had never been wounded.
“…Ah, child.”
The moment she barely managed to call the child.
“Tie… went to her hometown.”
The child pouted her lips and lifted her head with sorrowful eyes.
“Father here left Tie alone and departed, so to find Father…”
The child’s hot tears fell on Jeongmyeongja’s clothing.
“Tie wanted to say goodbye to Aunt and Grandmother, but they said there wasn’t time… they said to abandon everything and leave quickly…”
At the sight of the child crying pitifully, Chaeboksu approached on her knees.
She stammered as she saw the chains and energy rippling around Tie.
“What is all this? Are you some kind of shaman? No wait, even if you were a shaman, this would be crazy enough for the news!”
Tie made a “huuung” sound and suddenly embraced Chaeboksu.
“Tie isn’t a shaman, Tie is the Commander King…!”
Then she sobbed.
“Don’t get sick, Grandmother. Tie will heal you. Tie will definitely heal you…!”
“How could you do that.”
Chaeboksu looked down at the child with a dazed expression.
In doing so, she failed to notice that the golden energy extending from Tie’s body was seeping into her chest.
“…He’s just unconscious, right?”
Inside Apartment 107.
Jeongmyeongja asked very, very quietly.
Tesetan nodded briefly.
“Yes.”
“…He’s not dead, right?”
“Yes.”
Jeongmyeongja quietly pressed her forehead.
Then she glanced at Tie and continued with a trembling voice.
“I’m worried that Tie might get in trouble…”
“Aunt. Should Tie make him disappear?”
Tie asked with an innocent face.
Jeongmyeongja looked at the child in surprise.
“If I ask my subordinates, they’ll send him far away.”
“Send…?”
“Yes. To a place where he can never come back to Aunt!”
“You little thing! Stop saying scary things!”
Chaeboksu shouted loudly.
When Tie made a dejected expression, Chaeboksu pulled the child into her arms.
“Send him where? He deserves to die, that’s true, but you shouldn’t be the one to kill him!”
“It’s not killing though…?”
“Enough!”
“I’m just making him travel to the ghost world…”
“Oh my, that IS killing!”
Tie tilted her head.
Chaeboksu threw her head back in frustration.
Staring at the fluorescent light that kept flickering made her dizzy.
‘What on earth is all this about?’
Looking back, everything had been strange from the beginning.
The father and daughter had been suspicious from their very appearance.
And what about their story?
A father who worked himself to death trying to take care of his one daughter.
And then the child who mysteriously disappeared following after him.
It was a situation so tragic that it was unbearable to witness.
Chaeboksu looked once more at the empty TV cabinet where the urn had been.
And slowly lowered her gaze.
“…Now it’s time to listen. Now I have to hear it no matter what.”
She looked at Tesetan and opened her lips.
“Explain.”
Tesetan raised his head.
He had a complicated expression as if troubled.
“I’m going to listen today. No matter what happens, I need to know what all this is about…!”
At Chaeboksu’s insistence, Tesetan finally let out a resigned sigh.
After closing his mouth for a moment, he soon spoke a calm word.
“…Tesetan.”
Chaeboksu frowned.
“Tesetan. That’s my name. Not Kim Youngsu.”
Jeongmyeongja covered her mouth.
Meanwhile, Tesetan turned his gaze to Tie.
“And Astie is…”
Tie became quiet.
Tesetan avoided the child’s stare and added.
“…As you said. She seems to be my daughter.”
“…”
“I’m confused because I still don’t understand how that’s possible.”
Jedo.
“Valentis Luminen, General Commander of the Talochium Order, receive the Emperor’s golden seal!”
Twenty flags bearing the imperial emblem fluttered in front of Luminen Mansion.
When the Emperor’s envoy raised one hand, the Imperial Palace knights brought out a gold-decorated seal box from deep within the carriage.
From inside the box came an edict inscribed with golden letters.
“Under sacred resolution! I command you, sword and shield of the Empire. Advance to the Central Continent to suppress evil, and prove that you are qualified to extinguish the flames of heresy and demons!”
The envoy dipped his hand into a cup filled with horse blood.
Then he drew a line across the edict.
“I grant you part of the Empire’s mercenary forces. Also, First Princess Ardiana will assist the vanguard!”
Inside the manor.
At the booming voice, the butler quickly turned around.
Valentis sat with a stern face where light streamed through the half-open curtains.
“The goal of this campaign is not survival! Death is a duty for the Empire and the Order, and will be the final honor as a knight!”
Silence continued in the office.
The envoy’s visit that had not been discussed beforehand.
Even the unexpected content ordering them to leave the Empire and advance to the Central Continent.
Valentis raised his head.
He muttered in a serious voice.
“What on earth has displeased His Majesty.”
In truth, it wasn’t that he had no idea at all.
The friendship he had maintained with Agavert while avoiding the Emperor’s eyes.
If there was something that bothered him most, it would be that.
But Valentis cherished Astie.
It wasn’t simply because Astie was a young child who needed protection.
He had already received favors from that small child several times.
‘I even got back the child I thought I’d never be able to hold until the day I died.’
But something was strange.
Just because he built some friendship with a mercenary, they would drive the Valentis family, who had steadily supported the Empire, to the Central Continent?
Of course, he had heard news that demons from Mastone in the Central Continent were rampant recently.
The Order’s forces alone might have been insufficient, requiring additional dispatch of the Empire’s orders.
‘But why the Princess? Why Astie…?’
It was while he was pondering.
With urgent knocking, the office door burst open.
What entered was Leonardo, whose appearance was a mess as if he had used teleportation directly from the battlefield.
“Leonardo.”
“Father. I have something to tell you.”
Looking at Leonardo who was panting, Valentis narrowed his brow.
“It’s about the Commander King, no. About Astie and Theseus.”
