A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 292

 

“She’s out! Child is out!”

 

Campsite.

 

Veil smiled brightly as he watched Tie hop down from the subspace.

 

Veil wasn’t the only one who had been waiting for Tie with an anxious heart.

 

“That was close, Tie.”

 

Basto wiped away cold sweat,

 

“Danzu. Did you meet the Princess? Did you have time to talk?”

 

“Livia. Ask me one thing at a time.”

 

Livia and Aleric approached Tie with flushed faces,

 

“Danzu, you must be very upset.”

 

“That’s right. I hope she’s not crying again…”

 

The other unit members also examined Tie’s expression.

 

However.

 

“Yeah, Tie went and came back! I came back much faster than expected, right?”

 

Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Tie answered brightly.

 

Then she ran to Tesetan, who was waiting for her at a distance, and hugged him tightly.

 

“Father, Tie is back!”

 

Tesetan lifted the child as if he had been waiting.

 

He rubbed his nose against the child’s cheek and asked calmly.

 

“Are you okay, daughter?”

 

Tie’s eyes widened.

 

Dimples appeared on her cheeks where the campfire light spread.

 

“Yeah! I’m okay!”

 

Tesetan carried the child toward the campfire.

 

The unit members also quietly returned to their places.

 

“Did you talk a lot with Mother? There couldn’t have been much time…”

 

Tie first accepted the plum skewer that Tesetan offered.

 

Then she blew on it, took a bite, and answered.

 

“Mm-hmm, like Father said, there wasn’t much time.”

 

“But how are you so mature? You’re not even disappointed.”

 

The child, with yellow flesh around her mouth, gave a thumbs up.

 

“Even though we met for a short time, I did everything important!”

 

“Important things?”

 

“Yeah! Hugging, getting kisses, smelling Mother’s scent a lot, and even giving her the letter – I did it all.”

 

Tesetan was speechless for a moment, then patted the child’s head.

 

“That’s right. You did everything important.”

 

“Yeah! And Father, Mother finally did it.”

 

Tesetan tilted his head.

 

“Did what?”

 

Tie looked around and whispered in Tesetan’s ear.

 

“Now the Imperial Palace is our home. I think Mother defeated the bad Uncle and stepmother…!”

 

“…Mother really said that?”

 

“Yeah! Now there’s Tie’s room in the Imperial Palace, and Tie’s garden and Tie’s pond too. Isn’t that great?”

 

Tesetan unconsciously closed his mouth.

 

One side of his chest slowly became heavy.

 

The fact that Ardiana said that.

 

It also meant that she had finally won the long fight.

 

‘…Ardiana.’

 

When he was fourteen.

 

He first saw her at a banquet he attended with his parents and brothers.

 

Among the people laughing and chattering brightly.

 

Ardiana stood alone like a shadow.

 

That day.

 

In her downcast eyes, Tesetan saw pain.

 

Pain as great as his own, who wore golden restraints on his heart.

 

But unlike Tesetan, who had his mother, father, and three brothers, Ardiana was alone.

 

Her biological father, the Emperor, didn’t even glance at her, and her blood-related brother showed hatred toward her even in the banquet hall.

 

Was that why?

 

‘I wanted to be by her side.’

 

So he spoke to her and did something unlike himself.

 

A chuckle escaped as he recalled wearing his jacket uniform inside out and strutting around the banquet hall.

 

The Empress was outraged and his parents were flustered, but.

 

‘She smiled.’

 

Ardiana looked at him and smiled.

 

How could he forget that?

 

‘It was a smile that once seen, could never be forgotten for a lifetime.’

 

Her curved blue eyes.

 

Even the dimples that formed on her cheeks.

 

Actually, everything from that day made his heart race.

 

Tesetan lowered his gaze.

 

Tie was still earnestly munching on the plum skewer.

 

A smile spread across his lips once more.

 

After a moment of silence, he muttered.

 

“…I really did well wearing that jacket inside out that day.”

 

“Hng?”

 

Tie’s eyes widened.

 

But Tesetan suddenly held Tie in his arms and tickled her.

 

“What’s with the ‘hng’? Are the plums delicious? They must be so delicious that Father eats without even looking, right?”

 

“Ahaha! What are you doing, Father!”

 

Tie burst into laughter while tightly gripping the skewer in one hand.

 

But Tesetan went further and lightly bit Tie’s finger.

 

“Eek!” Tie cried out and looked toward the unit members.

 

“E-everyone help! Father is eating Tie!”

 

“Mmm~ It tastes like delicious plums. I should try the other fingers too.”

 

Startled, Tie pushed Tesetan away with a flutter.

 

Then she ran behind Basto and hid.

 

“B-Basto Hammer! F-Father became a cannibal!”

 

But by the warm campfire, only Tie was serious.

 

“Hahaha! She really hates being bitten, Child.”

 

Veil burst into loud laughter.

 

Aleric furrowed his brow.

 

“Just so you know, don’t think about joining in to bother Danzu. That kind of teasing can only be done by Regent, who is her biological father…”

 

“How funny.”

 

Livia interrupted.

 

She narrowed her eyes and stared at Aleric.

 

“Aleric, you also steal Miss’s Wooden Doll and hide it every day.”

 

Aleric flinched.

 

“That’s…”

 

Very occasionally.

 

There were times when he had played such pranks because he wanted to see Tie running around the entire stronghold, claiming she would find her missing wooden doll.

 

“I always maintained proper boundaries while doing it…”

 

“Is it maintaining proper boundaries when Danzu sighs about fifty thousand times before going ‘Oh? It was here all along?’ and returning it?”

 

Aleric avoided Livia’s eyes.

 

Soon after, feeling his cheeks burning, he turned his head and was startled.

 

“…So that’s what it was.”

 

Tie was looking up at him with her cheeks puffed out to the fullest.

 

“Tie definitely organized everything properly! The wooden doll didn’t disappear by itself!”

 

With a face consumed by betrayal.

 

Aleric approached Tie restlessly.

 

“D-Danzu. That’s not what I meant.”

 

“They say there’s no one to trust in this world, and Uncle Aleric is a beast in human clothing!”

 

Tesetan burst into laughter with a “Puhup.”

 

He looked at Aleric and shook his head.

 

“Too bad, Aleric. Getting called a beast in human clothing just for stealing some wooden dolls.”

 

“What’s that supposed to mean…”

 

“Uncle Aleric is a beast!”

 

“Puhahahaha!”

 

Livia burst into hearty laughter.

 

Meanwhile, Tie headed toward Raul, Enzo, and Victor who were sitting in a circle.

 

“Big brother Raul, big brother Enzo. Uncle Victor. Let Tie join too.”

 

Then she looked back.

 

“I can’t play with those over there because their level is too low.”

 

“Oh my.”

 

Victor naturally moved aside to sit.

 

Then he casually brushed off a spot for Tie to sit with his hand.

 

“You made a wise decision, Danzu. Playing with people like that won’t help you grow into a proper child.”

 

“Mm-hmm, that’s right.”

 

“You’d end up losing all your good personality, you know?”

 

“Right, right. If Tie plays over there, even her kind heart will disappear.”

 

“Oh dear, that won’t do.”

 

“Yeah yeah! That won’t do!”

 

Tie took the cup Victor offered with a determined expression.

 

Then with exaggerated gestures, she drank the water in the cup and made a somewhat lonely expression.

 

“Sigh, the water tastes bitter today…”

 

Even Victor’s lips finally twitched.

 

However, he suppressed his laughter and asked in a resolute voice.

 

“How about it, shall I give you another cup?”

 

Tie nodded.

 

“Yeah. The usual one.”

 

“Pu, puhahahaha!”

 

Eventually, unit members burst into laughter here and there.

 

Among them, only Veil shouted seriously.

 

“Hey, child! Don’t drink too much water! You’ll end up going to the restroom three times at dawn again-!”

 

However, Tie cleanly ignored Veil.

 

The campfire was still burning pleasantly.

 

The next day.

 

Early dawn when even the birds hadn’t started singing yet.

 

“Tie is ready!”

 

Just as Veil had said, Tie, who had gone to the restroom three times the previous night, raised her hand high and shouted.

 

The child had already gotten up diligently and packed her belongings.

 

Her Hanbit Kindergarten bag was bulging as usual.

 

“Are Ppupppu, Marul, and the Pompoms ready?”

 

At the child’s question, the Pompoms spun around the vicinity.

 

Ppupppu and Marul stuck their heads out of the bag and nodded.

 

“Good.”

 

Having said that, Tie looked up at the sky with a determined face.

 

“Let’s go! Black Navigation!”

 

Then something like pitch-black smoke immediately swept over her head.

 

The smoke changed form only after reaching a dizzyingly high point.

 

“From here, eastward. We need to find an area where the trees are less dense.”

 

While perched on a tree branch.

 

Looking into the distance, Lucalion spoke.
