A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 291
In the western part of the garden, not far from the Princess’s Palace.
As soon as Ardiana reached the greenhouse, she rushed inside without even catching her breath.
The night’s moonlight embroidered the space above her head through the glass roof.
In the middle of the greenhouse.
A small silhouette could be seen.
“…Tie.”
When she called the name, the child slowly turned their head.
“Mother?”
Ardiana ran over frantically and embraced Tie.
“You’re safe, you’re safe without any injuries.”
She caressed the child’s cheeks with both hands and sobbed.
“I was so worried because there was no contact all this time….”
Ever since finding the memories from the other timeline, Tie had always been in one corner of her heart.
She worried every day, and missed her so much she couldn’t bear it every day.
Wasn’t she crying alone, separated from Mother?
Hadn’t she fallen and gotten hurt while running?
Wasn’t she lonely, wasn’t she scared?
“Mother….”
Tears also welled up in Tie’s eyes as she faced Ardiana.
“I missed you so, hic, so much….”
Seeing the child throw herself into her arms, Ardiana held her breath briefly.
She buried her face in the child’s crown and sobbed.
“Mother too. Mother missed you too. There wasn’t a single day I didn’t think of you.”
Tie made a sobbing sound.
However, the child soon lifted her head with a determined expression and said.
“Mother.”
Ardiana looked at the child with an anxious expression.
“Tie can’t stay here long. Idongchin will end soon. I brought many friends….”
“Friends?”
Ardiana lifted her head.
Only then did something enter her field of vision.
A little distance away from her and Tie.
One child was standing blankly, watching the mother and daughter.
Behind that child, several other unconscious children were sprawled out.
“Tie rescued all of them from Serkhas Temple!”
Ardiana’s lips parted.
“They’re friends that Luciano kidnapped and tormented, but Tie rescued them all!”
Ardiana’s gaze became serious.
The fact that she had rescued children who were imprisoned in the temple,
‘It means the situation has progressed significantly on that side too.’
Ardiana hurriedly examined Tie again.
It was to check if there were any injuries, if she looked hurt anywhere.
At the touch repeatedly stroking her cheeks, Tie buried her face in Ardiana’s embrace again.
“Tie loves Mother’s scent so much.”
Ardiana bit her lips.
Whether she knew this or not, Tie continued speaking in a peaceful voice.
“The best scent in the world is Mother’s scent. Next is the scent of butter.”
“Haha….”
In the end, Ardiana laughed with tears in her eyes.
At that moment, Tie made a “huh” sound and lifted her head.
“It’s a secret from Father.”
“…Yes. It’s a secret.”
Ardiana, who had been making eye contact with the child, embraced Tie again.
Tie also clung to Ardiana’s neck as if she had been waiting.
They could tell without saying anything.
How much they had missed each other all this time.
How many seconds had passed?
“Mother.”
Ardiana lifted her head.
Then she opened her eyes wide.
A faint light was spreading from Astie’s body.
The child drooped her eyebrows.
“Tie has to go now.”
“No, no.”
Ardiana instinctively shook her head.
Then she firmly grasped the child’s hand.
However, Tie pulled her hand out of hers.
“Tie has to go. Tie has to join forces with World Tree to defeat Luciano.”
To have to send away the child she had just reunited with again.
And to a battlefield full of all kinds of dangers at that.
Her breath caught in her throat.
“Mother, it’s okay.”
At that moment, Tie reached out her arms to her.
Then, perhaps having picked it from the greenhouse, she placed a wildflower she was holding in her hand into Ardiana’s hair.
“Tie is Mother’s miracle. I can do well!”
Ardiana hesitated.
‘You are my miracle, my baby.’
It was what she had said to the child before departing on the expedition.
At that time, she didn’t know because Astie hadn’t given any response.
That the child had been treasuring those words in her heart.
Something was placed in Ardiana’s hand.
It was a crumpled folded letter.
Tie sobbed.
“Mother….”
Now the child was gradually stepping backwards.
Into the large formation that had positioned itself behind her.
“No, baby. Please….”
Ardiana quickly rose from her spot.
However, seeing Tie shaking her head, she had no choice but to stop.
Tears fell down her cheeks with a patter.
Ardiana took a deep breath, then squeezed her eyes shut and opened them again.
Then she forced a smile.
“Baby. When you return, this will be your home now!”
Tie’s eyes widened.
“…Mother succeeded. Now I’m going to make a garden and pond here for you to play in….”
Her voice kept sinking into sobs.
“So this place can become your safest home above anywhere else. No, so it can become our home….”
Ardiana had been alone her entire life in the Imperial Palace.
But Tie would be different.
With Mother, with Father.
She could be together with countless companions and family who loved and cherished her.
“Mother will prepare everything for you…!”
Tie kept growing more and more blurred.
“You must return safely! Don’t get hurt, please!”
As soon as Tie’s figure disappeared, Ardiana collapsed to the floor.
“…Your Highness.”
Elanes and Corel, who had followed behind, supported her.
However, Ardiana crouched down and couldn’t lift her head.
She muttered in a voice that seemed about to fade away.
“My heart, my heart feels like it’s being torn apart….”
Corel closed her mouth.
The tip of her nose had also turned red at some point.
“Even if my flesh were peeled and sliced, it wouldn’t hurt this much.”
Ardiana sobbed.
Ripper, who had been watching from a short distance away, secretly swallowed a sigh.
It was because he had naturally come to know while working by Ardiana’s side.
The identity of the Sorcerer King, Astie.
Meanwhile, Ardiana unfolded the letter Tie had given her with trembling hands.
Squiggly handwriting came into view.
“Luciano….”
Numbers written with clumsy hands.
Below them was everything Ardiana needed to know, without omission.
Next to Tie’s writing, there were also a few small notes that Tesetan had added.
“…So that’s how it was.”
Ardiana stood up from her spot.
She was lost in thought with a complicated expression for a moment, then wiped away the tears that had flowed down her eyes.
“Ripper.”
When she turned around and called for Ripper, he flinched as he had been reminiscing about his first meeting with Astie.
Ripper approached Ardiana.
“Yes, Your Highness Princess.”
“Before dawn breaks, bring all the Empire citizens staying inside the Boundary of the Old Gods into the Imperial Palace.”
Ripper furrowed his brow.
“Pardon? Did I understand correctly? You want me to bring everyone within Jedo into the Palace….”
“That’s right. Not only the nobles staying in the residential areas, but also all the commoners from Flint Cove and other commercial districts must be moved into the Palace.”
Ripper’s mouth fell open.
The next moment, an order was also given to Corel, who had been standing beside him with a bewildered expression.
“And Corel. From now on, I’m giving you the authority to command all military forces within Jedo.”
“Y-Your Highness, what do you mean….”
“You must immediately assemble the troops, have the elite soldiers guard the center of the Imperial Capital, and have the remaining forces defend the four walls and major gateways. There’s no time.”
Ardiana finally looked at Elanes.
“Elanes. There’s a place you need to go urgently.”
“A place I need to go urgently?”
“I’ll write you a letter, so go to Idongchin and find Berukon in the Weapon District.”
“But why Berukon all of a sudden….”
Ardiana took a short breath to compose herself.
“Because when dawn breaks, monsters incomparably more numerous than before will cover Jedo.”
Silence descended.
“The final battle will soon take place in Roxe Forest. The fate of the world will also be decided there.”
“….”
“So we must prepare too. So that even one more person can survive.”
Ardiana looked around at the three people with unwavering eyes.
“Spears and shields, catapults and crossbows. Secure and deploy every weapon we can mobilize. Jedo is the place Astie and the expedition will return to. So never.”
“….”
“It must never fall.”
