A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 251
“Seal Luciano?”
Tie asked back.
Lucalion nodded his head.
“That’s right. Luciano has lived for a very long time. For ages that would be absolutely impossible for an ordinary human, and with a young body at that.”
Tie’s expression became calm.
Originally, people were supposed to gradually age as they got older.
It was 107 Grandmother who first told Tie about this fact.
‘Child. People naturally come and go, you know. That’s the natural way.’
‘What’s natural?’
‘Remember when we saw the water flowing on the hillside before?’
‘Yes!’
‘Was someone pushing that water from behind?’
‘No…?’
‘Right? It flowed down by itself without being pushed, didn’t it? That’s natural. Flowing down smoothly on its own. Flowing without any effort.’
‘…’
‘Human life is the same. Growing old and dying is a blessing. There’s nothing to be sad about.’
‘But Luciano lived for so long and didn’t die. And didn’t age at all.’
That was something that couldn’t be done even with South Korea’s advanced medical technology or the magic of this place.
Also.
‘If such a thing were possible, Tie would have used it first.’
Grandfather Valentis, Berukon from the Weapons District, Grandmother Viscount Waverill.
There were more than enough precious people around whom she wished wouldn’t age.
Tie raised her head and asked with a tense face.
“Then, Kamang. Did Luciano kidnap and eat children…?”
Lucalion hesitated.
“The World Tree said so. That Luciano is extremely vile and devours souls.”
After a moment of silence, Lucalion nodded.
“He’s probably doing something similar.”
Chills ran down her spine.
“Holy power is the power to heal. In other words, it’s life force. Conversely, sometimes life force can become holy power.”
“Then the children Luciano kidnapped are…”
“They’ll be in the Central Continent. If things go well, we might be able to rescue them.”
Tie’s body stiffened.
To think he would devour others’ lives because he was afraid of his own death.
Moreover, the ones being sacrificed to such horrible acts were innocent children.
“…Evil.”
“Evil and dangerous, Astie.”
Lucalion corrected her.
Lucalion was now looking at Tie with a serious expression.
“I’ll say it again, but he’s not an opponent to be taken lightly.”
Silence flowed.
“If there had been any other way besides making you face that bastard, I would have definitely chosen that path.”
Lucalion lowered his head.
“…The problem is that there’s no such method.”
Lucalion was lost in very deep thought.
He seemed to be pondering how to get through this situation.
Tie’s eyebrows drooped downward.
‘It would be nice if there was something Tie could help with.’
That’s when it happened.
“I have a decent tactical plan, Mother.”
A languid yet respectful voice was heard.
Tie’s eyes widened.
“Huh?”
Someone was walking leisurely toward them from behind Lucalion.
Flowing silver hair.
A height as tall as three, no, four Ties put together.
Tie knew who the man standing before her was.
‘Ppupppu transformed into human form…!’
But perhaps because she had only been with baby elephant Ppupppu all this time?
‘S-scary.’
Tie quickly hid behind Lucalion.
Great shock appeared on Krazaru’s face.
“Mother…?”
As if he couldn’t believe it, Krazaru froze in place.
“Lord Krazaru! I kept calling for you to come together from behind! Continuously!”
Marbas, who had come running breathlessly, arrived as the last one.
As he gasped for breath, the lion ears on his head trembled.
Only then did Tie peek her head out from behind Lucalion.
“Marul?”
“Master!”
Marbas’s expression brightened.
He ran over and crouched down in front of Tie.
Then he looked up at Tie with drooping eyes.
“I was worried when you suddenly ran out of the room!”
“You were worried about Tie…?”
“Of course! How could I not worry when you left after going through such an ordeal?”
Feeling a tingling sensation in her heart, Tie clenched her fists tightly.
‘Both Lucalion and Marul.’
They had clearly regained their memories, yet they were still kind to Tie.
“It’s my fault. I was too flustered when I just woke up and couldn’t say anything to you. You must have been very surprised.”
Marbas rolled his eyes upward.
“It was really too much! It’s not like Master begged for the seed. They planted it on their own and then said you were chosen so you must sacrifice yourself!”
“Marbas.”
From a little distance away, Krazaru growled.
Marbas was startled and closed his mouth, but soon sneakily hid behind Tie.
“Th-then! D-d-does Lord Krazaru think Master did something wrong?! Huh?!”
“…”
“Th-th-this time the Ab-ab-absolute Being really went too f-f-far! Right?!”
“…”
“Wh-what did Master do wrong?! Huh?!”
Krazaru finally made a groaning sound.
He leaned against a nearby tree and muttered.
“…That’s right. Just because someone is a perfect being doesn’t mean they always make the right choices.”
Krazaru gazed at Tie.
“Seeing all possibilities sometimes means missing the simplest truth.”
A puzzled expression spread across Tie’s face.
It was because Ppupppu’s words were too difficult.
Marbas courageously stepped forward once again.
“M-Master is confused! You should speak more simply so someone can u-understand…!”
“You’re quite excited, Marbas.”
“Hieek.”
Marbas squeezed his body behind Tie, though he couldn’t hide completely.
Krazaru clicked his tongue and disappeared from his spot with a poof sound.
What remained in that place was the small baby elephant Tie always saw.
“Ppupppu!”
Only then did Tie come out from behind Lucalion and run to Ppupppu.
Tie hugged Ppupppu tightly.
“I missed you. I was worried that you might hate Tie now, sniff.”
“Kyuut…”
Ppupppu nuzzled Tie’s cheek with his trunk.
Then he pretended to wipe away the tears around her eyes with his front paw.
Tie petted Ppupppu’s head a couple of times and asked.
“But what’s that plan you mentioned earlier?”
Ppupppu raised his head.
“You said earlier that you had a tactical plan. If we follow that plan, can Tie beat Luciano?”
“…Kyut.”
Ppupppu flapped his ears dignifiedly and spun his trunk around.
Then he brought his face close to Tie’s ear.
Marbas, who had been standing a little distance away, slowly approached.
Tie’s eyes widened at Ppupppu’s following words.
“…They’re coming!”
1st Floor of the Stronghold.
Veil, who had been looking out the window from the kitchen, turned around.
Everyone stood up abruptly.
In the distance, they could see four figures approaching the stronghold through the garden.
“But Ppupppu is really smart! Tie feels proud as a mother for raising her baby well!”
“…Master. I say this carefully, but I had that thought too. When you think about it, it’s not such an incredible tactic either…”
“Kyuut!”
Tie at the front.
Marbas getting hit on the head by Ppupppu.
Even Lucalion wearing a faint smile.
“How did he comfort her? The child may look gentle, but once she gets upset, it’s not easy to cheer her up.”
“…Lucalion always has a way.”
While Veil and Basto quietly exchanged conversation, Tie’s voice grew closer.
“When Tie goes in, she’s going to eat strawberry cake! Who wants to eat together!”
“Master. Do you know how much honey goes into strawberry cake? Humans who consume a lot of honey have a higher probability of tooth decay…”
“Kyuut!”
When the footsteps could be heard right in front.
Ardiana opened the door first.
Astie, who was about to enter, and Ardiana’s eyes met.
“…”
Amid the quiet surroundings.
Tie slowly put Ppupppu down.
The child hesitated for a moment, then,
“…Mama…”
She ran over with pursed lips and hugged Ardiana, who was waiting with open arms.
