A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 30

Fierce thunder and lightning struck beneath the gathering dark clouds.

Marianne, who had been looking out at the sea through the large glass windows of Dominion Hall, quickly turned around.

“A medium-sized Mastone? Are you certain?”

“I’m certain! The Mastone suddenly rose from the calm sea and then thunder and lightning…!”

Marianne’s complexion darkened.

It had been six months since she left her lifelong home at Wavebrill Townhouse to take up her post in Pearl City.

When she was first offered the position of Pearl City governor, she hadn’t felt much enthusiasm.

‘Marianne! You’ve truly lost your mind! Do you know what kind of position that is to refuse it?’

‘Mother, what kind of governor am I? All I’ve ever done in my life is handle minor administrative work within the family.’

‘Will you stay in your room forever? What will your sons learn from watching you? Pull yourself together! You’re now the only parent Raul and Enzo have!’

But when her sons’ names came up, she snapped to attention.

‘They lost the father they trusted and followed at such a rebellious young age. At least you need to show Raul and Enzo that you can stand strong!’

Raul and Enzo.

The twins who came into this world on the same day from her and her husband.

When their husband was killed by demons, the twins who had been Paladins left the Knight Order.

It was because of the guilt of not being able to protect their father despite being in the same unit.

‘Since you only stay in your room, Raul and Enzo are gradually changing that way too. Raul seems to be hanging around with bad friends, and Enzo hasn’t eaten for three days! Will you really stay like this?’

In truth, she had accepted the position of Pearl City governor because of the twins.

The Royal Advisor’s advice that ‘there wouldn’t be much difficult work’ also played a part.

‘There’s nothing more to handle in Pearl City. The Viscountess just needs to maintain regular communication with the Imperial Court.’

Even Marianne, who had never entered politics, understood what that meant.

‘They want me to be a puppet holding the position. As long as I listen well.’

It wasn’t a particularly pleasant proposal, but Marianne had no particular reason to refuse.

If she left Jedo for a quiet place, her complicated feelings might recover somewhat.

Moreover, she thought life in Pearl City would be better for the twins than life at the townhouse.

[Marianne.

I smiled when I saw the photo you sent. I’m relieved that Raul and Enzo look better than before.

It’s been very hot here lately. But I’m getting by well enough. I hope you’re happy there too.

My daughter, I believe in you.

-From Mother]

Indeed, after coming to Pearl City, Raul and Enzo became more talkative.

They often went outside Dominion Hall to look around the Promenade, and sometimes practiced swordsmanship that they had neglected.

Most of all, they sometimes borrowed boats at the pier to go out to sea…

Marianne hesitated.

“…Wait a moment.”

The conversation she had with the twins this morning flashed through her mind.

‘I’m going to the sea with Enzo again today.’

‘To the sea?’

‘We’ve made some friends at the wharf. They’re all captains, so they know good fishing spots.’

Marianne’s eyes slowly filled with terror.

“Governor!”

The next moment, she burst open the office door without even putting on a raincoat.

As soon as she stepped onto the street, cold rainwater immediately hit her face.

Cutting through the thick humidity, Marianne began to run.

Her shoes quickly absorbed water and became heavy.

Before long, she could see people gathered in front of the Red Glove Inn.

“No one will step forward! If not mercenaries, who else can we ask for help?!”

An Elder was sitting on the ground, shouting with reddened eyes.

His face looked familiar – he was the Fishermen’s Association President of Pearl City.

“Well, they say a Mastone appeared in the sea in front of the pier! When the sun sets, demons will pour out, so are we all going to die together like this?!”

“Then what do you want us to do? I’ve told you countless times that we’ve never heard of a Mastone rising from the sea! Fighting when we don’t know what kind of monsters will jump out is like telling us to go die!”

Marianne stared blankly at those pointing fingers at the Guild Master.

From their appearance, they seemed to be Mercenaries staying at the inn.

“Danzu Doiji is right. We can’t just set everything aside to help, Guild Master…”

The Fishermen’s Association President’s face turned pale.

He trembled his hands and crawled toward Rudy, the owner of the Red Glove Inn.

“Ru, Rudy. Didn’t you say so a few days ago?! That Trevaga members were staying at your inn!”

Marianne’s eyes widened slightly.

‘Trevaga’.

If it was Trevaga, they were a powerful and experienced Mercenary Group currently ranked first.

They might be able to save Pearl City even in this unprecedented situation.

However,

“He left this place yesterday morning. Even if we send an urgent message, it will take a full day for him to arrive.”

“Then what are we supposed to do! We’re all going to die tonight! We can’t abandon our boats and houses to escape again!”

Just then, with a tremendous crash, a huge lightning bolt struck the middle of the sea.

The Guild Master groaned and pounded his chest repeatedly.

“How, how is there not a single Mercenary willing to help the village? Are you still Mercenaries acting like this? How is this different from the Paladins who abandoned us 100 years ago!”

“Damn, this old man has been going on!”

At that moment, someone burst out from among the gathered Mercenaries.

A fierce-looking face, long hair soaked wet.

“You can’t do anything without our help. You can’t even beg properly, what? You’re comparing us to Paladins?”

When the red-faced Man mercilessly swung his fist, the Guild Master tumbled backward and muddy water splashed on the street.

“Cough-! Wha, what are you doing!”

“I’ll make you pay for your insolent words against Lord Cal!”

He was Cal, the leader of Death Hound, who had just arrived in Pearl City after stopping by Jedo.

“What kind of behavior is this!”

As the situation turned ugly, Marianne urgently stepped between them.

Cal flinched at her sudden appearance.

The fallen Guild Master also hurriedly got up.

“Go, Governor?”

Innkeeper Rudy looked at her with a surprised face.

“Governor?”

“…That woman is Pearl City’s supreme ruler?”

Murmurs also erupted among the foreign Mercenaries.

Marianne tensed her body while looking them straight in the eyes.

‘Raul, Enzo…’

His mind was filled with thoughts about the twins, but as a consul, he couldn’t just pass by this place.

“How dare you resort to violence. This man is the Guild Master of the Fishermen’s Association!”

The mercenary who had hit the Guild Master furrowed his brow.

He looked Marianne up and down and said.

“What are you?”

“How insolent. Can’t you speak respectfully to me, the Consul of Pearl City?”

A moment of silence followed.

However, Cal didn’t budge at all.

“Consul? Pff, puhahaha-! You?!”

Instead, he looked over Marianne’s body with eyes full of mockery in an unpleasant way.

More precisely, her body lines where her rain-soaked clothes clung to her.

“Your appearance makes me think you’re not a consul but rather someone’s mistress…”

Thwack-

However, before the vile words could finish, a dull sound echoed between them.

Cal, who had been struck in the face by something, tumbled backward with a crash.

“Danzu!”

“Cal!”

As his subordinates helped him up, Cal gritted his teeth and raised his head.

“Which bastard!”

However, upon confirming his opponent, he stiffened like a board.

“B, Basto?”

The giant standing right in front of him was Basto.

The very Basto whose identification number Cal himself had bribed the Paladin of the Gate to dispose of.

And beside him,

“…Huh.”

Some unfamiliar child was looking straight up at him.

“So that’s Cal…”

With an expression half-mixed with curiosity and wariness.

“He’s really, really ugly…”
