A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 241

 

“He told me to support you wholeheartedly. If there are materials you seek, I should provide them, and if there are secrets you wish to know, I should tell you.”

 

Tie’s eyes widened.

 

Dominic rose from his seat.

 

“Actually, I have no interest in orders or fake gods. There’s only one thing I care about. Who will claim the new imperial throne.”

 

His gaze turned steadily toward Tie.

 

“It seems certain that you’ve replaced Her Highness the Princess.”

 

“…”

 

“That’s why I showed you.”

 

Dominic patted his chest where the contract was kept.

 

“As far as I know, the Imperial Court gave three selection sites to Armingdal. Checkpoint 49 on the Inspection Road, where your associate was attacked, is one of them. I’ve left records of the rest for Prince Luminen, so check them when I go.”

 

Tie couldn’t take her eyes off Dominic as he turned away.

 

“I hope we’ll have a chance to meet again. If we both survive.”

 

The basement door that had briefly opened shut with a thud.

 

In the space where silence had fallen, the unit members each wore complicated expressions.

 

“…So the Association Leader, no, the Princess is going to start a rebellion?”

 

At Livia’s words, Aleric let out a sigh.

 

“Yes. She seems quite certain about her plan to usurp the throne.”

 

“No, but why are we getting involved in this?”

 

Livia approached Tesetan.

 

“Regent, is this right? We have the young miss too, isn’t this too dangerous!”

 

“What are you saying. Since we’re already on the Emperor’s bad side, this might actually be better. If it succeeds.”

 

Veil interjected.

 

“And don’t you know? The Princess is the child’s…”

 

However, he soon closed his mouth.

 

In the silence that fell, everyone’s gaze turned toward Tie. Tie was still staring at the door through which Dominic had left.

 

From the way her lips were tightly pursed, she was undoubtedly thinking hard about something.

 

“…Anyway. This was something that had to happen eventually.”

 

Veil changed the subject.

 

“The throne needs to change too. Since the previous generation, no, since the generation before that, what kind of dog-like mess is this?”

 

A grinding sound flowed from between Veil’s lips.

 

“It’s annoying enough that they drew star-like nonsense on the map calling it the Boundary of the Old Gods. They ignore people dying outside The Order.”

 

“…”

 

“They completely disregard mercenaries and mages. Only Paladins get hero treatment. It’s only been a few years since mercenaries were even allowed to handle money, right? Before that, they were just treated like meat shields at the front.”

 

Basto kept his mouth shut.

 

“And constantly getting entangled with the Order too. If you think about it, it’s the Imperial Court’s fault! Because the Imperial Court is rotten, they keep going along with the Order’s suspicious schemes!”

 

Normally, Livia would have retorted asking where he got off making such noise.

 

Even she remained silent this time, as if she had nothing to say.

 

“Let the Princess be a usurper this time. Same thing this morning. Is that really an Emperor, giving the cold shoulder to a child who’s obviously kind and pretty? A passing stray dog would do better. It’s only a rebellion when it fails, but if it succeeds, it’s a revolution…”

 

“Why?”

 

At that moment.

 

Tie’s voice cut off Veil’s words.

 

When she looked up, Tie had already turned around with a strange expression.

 

Looking at Tesetan and the executives, the child asked.

 

“Why are you doing this?”

 

Veil slowly closed his mouth.

 

“It’s dangerous. You could get hurt.”

 

Tie’s eyes cast downward.

 

At that somehow tearful appearance, Basto hurriedly approached Tie.

 

“Tie. That’s…”

 

“It’s strange. The Princess is strange.”

 

Tie raised her head.

 

The child’s eyes were trembling finely.

 

Basto’s expression became serious.

 

‘Oh no. She’s really scared.’

 

It was natural.

 

Tie was a smart child.

 

She couldn’t not know what rebellion was, what Ardiana was trying to do.

 

It would be scary to think that it was connected to herself, Father, and the unit members.

 

Basto took a breath and continued speaking.

 

“Tie. Rebellion isn’t necessarily as bad as you think.”

 

“…”

 

“If we prepare carefully, we can minimize unnecessary sacrifices. Once it succeeds, we can save many people dying outside the Boundary of the Old Gods.”

 

“…”

 

“It will also become easier to fight against the Order that threatens you…”

 

At that moment, Tesetan’s hand touched Basto’s shoulder.

 

Tesetan said.

 

“…She’s not talking about the rebellion.”

 

Basto’s eyes widened.

 

Tie wasn’t talking about the rebellion.

 

‘Then what on earth.’

 

Basto looked back and forth between Tie and Tesetan briefly.

 

“Why does the Princess show Tie secret documents?”

 

Tie murmured.

 

“At the Palace Clock Tower, when Tie and Father fell underground too.”

 

“…”

 

“Why did she come to rescue Tie? Why did she get so badly hurt?”

 

The child’s eyes drooped downward.

 

“Why does she suddenly start a rebellion? Why does she order her subordinate to help Tie? Why, why…”

 

The child fidgeted with her hands.

 

Her green eyes that had been wandering in the air turned toward Tesetan as if seeking an answer.

 

“Why does she keep saying to Tie…”

 

‘I’ll be back.’

 

Saying that with those eyes.

 

‘How are you an obstacle. Why you, how are you…’

 

Crying with that face.

 

“Why did she…”

 

Why did she hug Tie so painfully and warmly.

 

In her blurred vision, she could see the unit members.

 

Livia with reddened eyes.

 

Veil and Basto with their gazes on the floor.

 

Even Aleric who said nothing.

 

At the sight of the child holding back tears, Tesetan slowly bent down.

 

“Tie.”

 

Tie raised her head.

 

“Father is here.”

 

“Ugh, huu.”

 

Only then did the tears she had been holding back fall drop by drop to the floor.

 

Father’s words were right.

 

Father was here.

 

This place right now wasn’t the rainy Jongno-gu, nor Gold Apartment 106 where Tie had been left alone.

 

“And I’ll be here from now on too. You know what I mean, right?”

 

She nodded her head.

 

But she couldn’t help the tears that kept flowing from some premonition.

 

That was actually a premonition she had been carrying in a corner of her heart for a long time.

 

Was it from when she learned that the Princess also disliked carrots like Tie?

 

Or was it when she realized that the Princess and Father liked each other very much?

 

“Actually, the Princess is waiting on the 2nd floor. She says she has something important to tell Tie.”

 

Her breath caught.

 

When she rubbed her eyes, tears came away wet on her palms.

 

“If Tie doesn’t want to talk right now, Father can go up and tell her to just go back today.”

 

“…”

 

“What would be best for Father to do?”

 

Tie pressed her lips tightly together.

 

But soon after deciding something, she took out the handkerchief Father had given her from her pocket and blew her nose.

 

The child lifted her head.

 

“Tie will go talk and come back.”

 

Tesetan hesitated.

 

“Tie also has something important to say to the Princess.”

 

Tie, who had put the handkerchief back in her pocket, spread both arms wide to Tesetan.

 

It was something she always did when living in Jongno-gu, before going to preschool.

 

Tesetan hugged the child tightly with a sad face.

 

After Tie even gave Father’s cheek a kiss, she opened the basement door.

 

“Tie will go and come back!”

 

As she climbed the stairs energetically, she could see the unit members gathered on the 1st floor.

 

Among them were both Valentis and Lucalion.

 

Tie continued walking.

 

She reached the 2nd floor.

 

At the end of the corridor, she could see Tie’s room, slightly open.

 

The room that was only a few steps away felt as distant as from Jongno-gu to Talochium.

 

Finally opening the door, Ardiana, who had been sitting on the bed, looked up with a start.

 

“…Astie.”

 

She quickly got up from her seat.

 

“During the day…”

 

“Wait! Tie also, no, Tie has something to say to the Princess first.”

 

However, Tie interrupted Ardiana’s words.

 

And with strength in her eyes, she walked energetically and stood in front of Ardiana.

 

Taking a deep breath, Tie said.

 

“When going on preschool field trips, Father packed Tie’s lunch instead.”

 

“…”

 

“Father also tied my hair nicely every single day.”

 

Ardiana’s blue eyes trembled deeply.

 

Meanwhile, Tie had an awkward smile on her lips.

 

“Also when friends said it must be sad because Tie doesn’t have a mother.”

 

“…”

 

“Tie said it was okay. Actually, it wasn’t sad at all. It didn’t hurt at all.”

 

“…”

 

“Because the neighboring house grandmother and aunt took care of me. So I wasn’t lonely at all. Even without a mother, even with only Father, I lived well. I did well by myself.”

 

Tears flowed down Ardiana’s cheeks.

 

Seeing that, Tie also gradually began to cry.

 

“So, so…”

 

The child who couldn’t continue speaking for a moment and held her breath clung to Ardiana’s waist.

 

“Hug, huu, quickly hug Tie, Mother…”
