A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 213
“If only you had done this from the start, how nice it would have been.”
Tesetan muttered indifferently.
At the same time as those words, a stamp rolled across the seated desk with a clatter.
Jeongmyeongja’s Husband had dropped it because his hands were shaking so much.
“I-is it done now? You’re going to get rid of all these things now, right!”
He asked frantically while watching Tesetan’s expression.
His gaze was busily scanning the empty air around him.
Tesetan leisurely looked at Tie, who was sitting on his lap.
“Daughter, the man is asking. Are you going to get rid of your subordinates now?”
Tie, who had been carefully examining the divorce agreement, finally looked up.
Then she answered with a puzzled expression.
“No?”
The man flinched at those words.
But Tie just continued speaking cheerfully.
“Father doesn’t even know that? Tie saw it on a drama, after they say ‘stamp it!’ there’s a divorce consideration period.”
An amused smile spread across Tesetan’s lips.
“Really?”
“Yeah! After that, the husband and wife have to go see the judge together, and that takes a long time so…”
Tie stared at Jeongmyeongja’s Husband with eyes full of distrust.
“The man might change his words later.”
“That’s when they say he’s changing his mind.”
“Mm-hmm, that thing.”
Chaeboksu, who had been listening to the father-daughter conversation, looked at Tie with a pleased expression.
“There’s no child in the world as smart as that one.”
A faint smile also appeared on Tesetan’s lips.
Meanwhile, Jeongmyeongja’s Husband restlessly watched Tie’s expression.
The shirt he was wearing had been soaked with cold sweat for quite some time.
‘Kik-‘
‘Kekekekek-!’
The hallucinations he heard seemed to get worse as time went on.
The pranks of the ghosts tormenting him were also becoming increasingly malicious.
Suddenly poking him somewhere on his back.
Popping up in front of his face to show him disgusting expressions!
“I-I’m not lying!”
He desperately shouted while grabbing the desk.
“I won’t even come near this area from now on! I won’t approach that woman!”
“Hmmmm.”
“I’m serious! I swear! I swear-!”
Tie narrowed her eyes.
‘It doesn’t seem like he’s lying.’
Even so, Tie needed to be very careful about this matter.
‘After Tie goes back, there really won’t be anyone to protect Aunt.’
What if the man came looking for Aunt again?
What if he treated Aunt even worse to get revenge for what happened today?
While she was continuing her serious contemplation.
“…Then let’s go to the police station together and turn yourself in.”
A trembling voice came from behind.
When she turned her head, Jeongmyeongja, who had been silent the whole time, stood up from her seat.
She walked over with a face filled with strange determination and sat facing her husband.
The man asked back as if bewildered.
“You’re telling me to do what? To me?”
Jeongmyeongja looked back at Tie.
Then she hesitated before rolling up her right sleeve.
Large and small scars were revealed on the inside of her arm, wrist, back of her hand, and other places.
“You did all of this. Even though Tie healed them, this much remained.”
Jeongmyeongja’s voice trembled faintly.
“So turn yourself in for everything you’ve done. I have evidence too. I took pictures and videos of everything. I got medical certificates too.”
Jeongmyeongja’s Husband’s mouth fell wide open.
“Have you really gone crazy?”
“Yes. So just, just please…!”
[If that’s true, the situation becomes much easier.]
At that moment, Marbas bounced out from somewhere and climbed onto the desk.
“Hiiiiek!”
The man immediately stepped back in surprise, but Marbas casually continued speaking.
[According to Article 840, Clause 3 of South Korea’s Civil Code, if one has ‘received severely unfair treatment as a spouse,’ they can immediately file for divorce with the Family Court.]
“…”
[If there’s clear evidence of violence, they can also apply for a protection order from the Family Court simultaneously with the divorce petition.]
“Protection order?”
Tie tilted her head.
[Yes. It means issuing a restraining order to prevent this male perpetrator from approaching your aunt, who is the victim.]
Tie’s eyes grew wide.
‘That’s really good!’
Of course, she hadn’t planned to rely only on the law from the beginning.
But if they could apply for a restraining order?
“Killing two birds with one stone…!”
Tie’s head shot up.
203 Aunt’s hunched shoulders also seemed to straighten slightly.
Marbas continued his lengthy speech.
[There’s an even more important point. If spousal violence is recognized, the divorce consideration period, which usually takes 1 to 3 months on average, can also be waived.]
“The consideration period can be waived…?”
This time Jeongmyeongja asked hesitantly.
Marbas nodded.
[Isn’t that natural? The required documents are also simple. You just need medical certificates or evidence of being subjected to violence.]
“If that person keeps coming even after the restraining order is issued…”
[Don’t worry about that. According to the laws here, in such cases the perpetrator will immediately face criminal punishment.]
“Tie has punishment too!”
Tie raised one hand high and shouted.
The child’s magic power flowed toward Jeongmyeongja’s Husband.
“If you bother Aunt again, Tie will send a hundred subordinates to you.”
As the man trembled, Marbas added with satisfaction.
[That’s a good plan, Master. Furthermore.]
Marbas stared at the man.
[You shouldn’t even dream of publicizing our existence or reporting us to any specific agency.]
The man gulped.
Marbas’s eyes glowed red.
[There’s no technological device in this world that I can’t tamper with. I was surprised to learn that this place uses devices called CCTV to track people. There are dozens of them just in this neighborhood alone. However.]
“….”
[When I leave, I plan to not leave a single trace of Master and us behind. Looking at the circuits, it doesn’t seem like such a difficult task.]
Marbas bounced forward and stood in front of the man.
[So even if he goes around babbling that a great mage appeared and threatened him, he’ll just end up being treated like a lunatic.]
“Marul, that’s amazing!”
Tie cheered from behind.
But the child soon approached with a pleased expression and said.
“But there’s no need for that.”
The child rolled up her pajama sleeve to show Marbas.
“Look at this.”
What revealed itself inside was a sparkling, pretty bracelet.
“This is called the Sacred Relic of Oblivion, and….”
Tie’s explanation grew lengthy.
Marbas’s eyes grew large with curiosity and scholarly enthusiasm as he listened to the explanation.
A while later.
Jeongmyeongja’s husband left Apartment 107 as if in a trance and returned to Unit 203.
Packing his belongings in the dark room, he kept repeating the same words.
“I can’t go. I can’t go.”
He absolutely must not go near Jeongmyeongja.
He had to divorce her without fail and never come near this alley again until the day he died.
“To get divorced quickly, I need to turn myself in first…”
Gathering his few belongings, he headed straight to the police station.
The reason for suddenly acting this way?
“I’m just doing it. Because I have to. Yes, I have to, I must….”
Even while muttering, an inexplicable fear gripped his heart.
If he didn’t turn himself in right now.
If he didn’t divorce Jeongmyeongja right now, it felt like something terrible would come chasing after him.
“I beat my wife.”
The police officers stood up from their seats at his words as soon as he entered the station.
Jeongmyeongja’s husband began to confess everything.
“I used violence from the night we got married, and after we separated, I would go find her to threaten her for money, and if she didn’t listen….”
That evening.
The sound of peaceful sleeping echoed through the room where four people lay side by side.
Around the time the moon was setting, Tie opened her eyes to a voice calling her.
[Master.]
Marbas was whispering to Tie from beside her pillow.
[Let’s go outside for a moment.]
Marbas pointed to the ceiling.
There, a completely filled harmonium was floating around.
Tie looked back at Father, Grandmother, and Aunt before carefully stepping outside.
As soon as she came out, Marbas asked.
[Since the harmonium is full, I plan to cross over to Talochium first. I’ll need that harmonium to summon Master there.]
“Mm-hmm.”
[But before that, there’s something I want to make sure of.]
Marbas asked seriously.
[Are you really okay with not staying here?]
