A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 297

 

“…Edmund!”

 

Valentis urgently shook Edmund’s shoulders.

 

However, Edmund showed no response.

 

Only his pupils moved back and forth, following illusions in the air.

 

“Mother….”

 

At Edmund’s subsequent sobbing, Valentis gritted his teeth.

 

He could guess what kind of hallucination his son was experiencing.

 

“…Eleonora.”

 

Valentis urgently made eye contact with Edmund.

 

“Edmund. You can’t. You need to snap out of it. You are….”

 

But that was the moment.

 

Boom- Boom-

 

Suddenly, distant drum sounds echoed through the air.

 

Valentis flinched and raised his head.

 

At the same time,

 

“Advance! Sound the drums!”

 

A soldier covered in dust brushed past him.

 

Valentis took a short breath.

 

Blazing flames.

 

Acrid smoke covering the surroundings.

 

The swaying vision wasn’t unfamiliar.

 

In fact, it was a scene he knew all too well.

 

“Reorganize the formation! Those villains, aaaaah!”

 

Screams and cries shook the battlefield.

 

At the center of that chaos was-

 

“…Theseus?”

 

His mouth went completely dry.

 

“Sir! You must take cover!”

 

A familiar voice brushed past his ear.

 

“You must go! Right now!”

 

His adjutant grabbed and pulled his arm, but he couldn’t move.

 

In the distance, Tesetan was suffering in agony.

 

With his eyes rolled back, he was destroying everything around him with uncontrolled power.

 

His son who had been separated from his parents at age four and dragged to the Central Continent.

 

His precious child who never once showed his pain despite wearing a gold restraint on his heart, worried that he and Eleonora might worry.

 

“Sir! Sir!”

 

Leaving his adjutant’s calls behind, Valentis began walking forward.

 

Bang-! Bang-!

 

Something exploded repeatedly right in front of him, but he didn’t care.

 

He had already long forgotten that everything was Mel’s hallucination.

 

With each step he took, the distance to Tesetan gradually narrowed.

 

His skin felt like it was burning from the heat, but he couldn’t stop.

 

However, before long, sharp winds began swirling in all directions.

 

The power emanating from Tesetan’s body had become a fierce gale tearing through the battlefield.

 

“Ugh, urk…!”

 

Valentis reflexively covered his face and knelt on the ground.

 

His entire body was scraped by the wind and burned painfully.

 

“Theseus…!”

 

He reached out toward his son, but couldn’t reach him.

 

The wind surrounded Tesetan like a curtain.

 

“Theseus! Can you hear me! Stop, please…!”

 

Even his barely squeezed-out voice was swept away by the wind.

 

All he could see was acrid smoke and the radiance beyond it.

 

Something quickly brushed past Valentis and ran forward.

 

Valentis squinted and raised his head.

 

A torn and hole-riddled blue-green cloak was fluttering.

 

Above it, silver hair that hadn’t lost its shine despite being covered in dust flowed wildly.

 

“Eleonora…?”

 

Valentis’s eyes widened.

 

“Eleonora! Eleonora, no!”

 

But it was already too late.

 

Eleonora, who had run forward, embraced Tesetan without hesitation.

 

The rampage tore her skin and wounded her.

 

However, Eleonora didn’t care.

 

Facing the rampage head-on, she accepted the overflowing power with her entire body.

 

“My son….”

 

Eleonora’s voice could be heard.

 

“I must save my son….”

 

Crackle-!

 

White light covered the battlefield.

 

Valentis blankly watched the scene before his eyes.

 

Eleonora’s form was being consumed by the light.

 

Her skin, bones, and flesh scattered into pieces.

 

“It’s okay. It’s… okay, my child.”

 

But there was no pain on Eleonora’s face.

 

She wore a smile of relief as she repeatedly stroked the unconscious Tesetan’s forehead.

 

“It’s not your fault. You….”

 

Her voice gradually grew smaller.

 

“You did nothing wrong….”

 

Like completely burned paper, she finally scattered into the air.

 

Valentis’s knees buckled.

 

His trembling lips convulsed.

 

A few seconds later.

 

A beast-like howl burst from his throat.

 

“Eleonora-!”

 

Tie froze in place with a terrified expression.

 

Edmund kneeling on the floor.

 

And Valentis, who had stiffened while gripping his shoulder.

 

“G-Grandfather? Uncle…?”

 

The child carefully grabbed and shook both men’s clothes.

 

However, neither of them moved.

 

Frightened, Tie hurriedly turned around.

 

Then she began running toward Tesetan.

 

“Father! Grandfather and Uncle are…!”

 

However, Tie had no choice but to freeze in place.

 

“…Father?”

 

Tesetan, who had been perfectly fine just moments ago, was collapsed face-down on the floor.

 

“Father!”

 

When she grabbed Tesetan’s face, she could see his expression twisted in pain.

 

Hot tear tracks were flowing around his closed eyes.

 

Tie slowly closed her mouth.

 

“Father too, is caught in the hallucination….”

 

Her heart pounded loudly.

 

She looked around.

 

There was no one left who was still awake and alert.

 

Everyone had clearly been trapped in Mel’s hallucination.

 

Tie trembled and swallowed dryly.

 

Then she squeezed her eyes shut and cried out desperately.

 

“Kamang! Uh, huu, Ppupppu!”

 

When she had faced the eyeball alone, it had been fine.

 

Back then, Uncle and Grandfather, Father and the members were holding out within the barrier.

 

But now it was different.

 

“Marul! Pompom…!”

 

The anxiety of being left alone crept up on Tie frighteningly.

 

At that moment, something caught on her ankle with a thud.

 

Tie’s eyes widened as she looked down.

 

Demon remnants were stickily clinging to the top of her right foot.

 

“N-no…!”

 

Tie was startled and stepped back.

 

Then she frantically rubbed the top of her foot with the edge of her cloak to wipe away the remnants.

 

However, the remnants didn’t disappear.

 

Instead, as if mocking Tie, they began crawling up her palm and arm.

 

“M-Mother…!”

 

Tears welled up in Tie’s eyes.

 

“Father-!”

 

The child clung to the collapsed Tesetan, crying loudly.

 

“Father, huu, please wake up!”

 

But Tesetan didn’t respond.

 

Neither did Lucalion, Ppupppu, Marul, or the Pompoms.

 

They all failed to show themselves, having gone somewhere unknown.

 

“Uh, huu….”

 

Tie’s lips trembled.

 

But the child squeezed her eyes shut and shook her head vigorously.

 

“Tie is, Tie is okay.”

 

Though her voice came out trembling, she had to tell herself.

 

“I won’t be trapped in the hallucination. Tie has Mother, and Father, and Grandfather and family too.”

 

It was like a kind of spell.

 

She had realized this earlier while watching Victor, Livia, and Basto experience hallucinations.

 

Mel’s hallucinations were showing things that had been lost.

 

“Tie hasn’t lost anything. So….”

 

But at that moment, the ground beneath her feet rippled and twisted, and something unfolded in her vision.

 

Tie slowly closed her mouth.

 

Inside the Imperial Palace where gentle sunlight filtered in.

 

Someone was sitting on the bed leaning back, holding a baby in their arms.

 

“So precious….”

 

At the voice filled with love, Tie unconsciously frowned.

 

“Mother…?”

 

The one holding the baby was none other than Ardiana.

 

Tie’s eyes widened as she called out.

 

“M-Mother!”

 

However, Ardiana didn’t look toward Tie.

 

She simply kept her head down, showing a smile only to the baby in her arms.

 

At that moment, with a brief knock, someone entered the room.

 

“My goodness! How wonderful!”

 

Red hair tied up high.

 

Livia smiled brightly as she looked at the baby.

 

“Miss-!”

 

Tie’s mouth fell silent.

 

Miss was a title Livia only used when calling Tie.

 

“Congratulations, Your Imperial Majesty.”

 

Then Basto also appeared from behind Livia.

 

He spoke with a voice filled with emotion as he looked at the child.

 

“Finally… Tie of this timeline has been born.”

 

Her heart sank with a thud.

 

“That’s right.”

 

Veil entered from the doorway.

 

“It’s sad that the child disappeared, but it can’t be helped. The child was originally a being from a different timeline, wasn’t she?”

 

Veil chuckled as he gently touched the sleeping baby’s nose tip.

 

“Hurry and grow up, child. The fake has disappeared, so now you just need to grow up healthy.”

 

Her breath caught in her throat.

 

She felt a pain as if someone was gripping the area around her heart.

 

Tie gasped and stepped backward.

 

‘Tie is, Tie is right here.’

 

No one paid any attention to Tie.

 

As if Tie was invisible to them.

 

‘As if Tie… doesn’t exist in this world….’

 

At that moment, Marbas’s words flashed through her mind.

 

[Mother will have to live worrying about when Orta will be born from now on.]

 

Tie slowly lowered her gaze.

 

[After Orta is born, according to Rundel’s fate, you’ll either be annihilated or have to live in hiding, avoiding everyone’s gaze.]

 

For some reason, her fingertips were becoming hazily blurred.

 

Through her transparent skin, the floor of the Imperial Palace could be seen clearly.
