A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 330

 

“Those words aren’t even worth listening to!”

 

Veil interjected.

 

He glared at Croize.

 

“You damn bastard. Seeing you keep spouting nonsense, you must still have some strength left? I’ll cut you down right now!”

 

Croize’s eyes curved subtly.

 

“Hehe… Hehahaha!”

 

His blood-soaked lips twisted as laughter leaked out.

 

Veil instinctively stepped back.

 

Then at that very next moment.

 

“Haha… Ha, urgh… Cough!”

 

Croize’s body bent backward, and his ribcage began collapsing from within.

 

Runaway magic power spread in all directions as black light swirled and devoured his flesh.

 

“Luciano, you crazy bastard…”

 

Veil muttered with a pale face.

 

The others watched the scene with equally grim expressions.

 

How much time had passed?

 

“Save, huff… save me…”

 

Croize, who had been bent backward, struggled to straighten his head and moved his lips.

 

Soon the massive shadow swayed once and then collapsed with a thud.

 

Dust rose from between the debris.

 

Veil lowered his sword with a tense expression.

 

“…Is he dead?”

 

Tie let go of Livia’s hand that she had been holding.

 

Then she slowly stepped forward.

 

As the dust cleared, Croize’s form was revealed.

 

‘…He’s gotten smaller.’

 

Croize’s once massive body had somehow shriveled up.

 

He looked as if someone had completely drained all his power.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“Kyah! He’s running away!”

 

“C-can’t we catch him!”

 

“Stop right there! Where do you think you’re running…!”

 

Sudden commotion could be heard from outside the completely collapsed castle wall.

 

Tie hurriedly turned around.

 

Struggling over the debris, sure enough, Daren was running for his life toward the marketplace.

 

“Unit Leader. Who is that person that has you so worked up?”

 

The members approached and asked.

 

Tie hurriedly rolled up her sleeves as she answered.

 

“Uh-huh, that mister is the bad elder! The one who tried to hang Sister Ophilie at the vanity!”

 

The members made sounds of understanding.

 

“Then please stay here. We’ll go bring him back!”

 

Tie, who had been rolling up her pants cuffs after her sleeves, paused.

 

Daren was already about to completely disappear into the shadows.

 

“Yeah! Then quickly before he escapes…”

 

“Ahhhhh!”

 

But at that moment, a scream came from the direction of the alley where Daren had hidden.

 

As Daren was dragged out of the alley, the members’ eyes widened.

 

“Unit Leader. Isn’t that Lord Kamang?”

 

Tie’s lips parted.

 

Indeed,

 

“L-let go of this! Let go right now! Ahhhhh!”

 

Lucalion was grabbing the fallen Daren by the scruff of his neck and dragging him to the square.

 

Soon the dirt-covered Daren was thrown into the middle of the square.

 

He flinched when he saw Tie.

 

“You, you’re the one from earlier…”

 

Tie scratched her head a couple times then cleared her throat.

 

“You villain!”

 

Daren flinched as Tie shouted.

 

Tie placed both hands on her hips and stepped forward.

 

“Do you know your crimes!”

 

Inside the cold prison cell.

 

“Ugh… He was someone who often visited our village. That’s all I know about the High Priest!”

 

Daren’s desperate voice echoed.

 

Looking up at Livia with sunken eyes, he continued rambling.

 

“I didn’t know where he came from or what work he did. I just treated him well because he occasionally shared his mysterious power…!”

 

The prison cell that had been packed with wrongfully imprisoned people was now completely empty.

 

Daren, now the sole prisoner, bowed his head to the floor.

 

“So you’re misunderstanding something! I was always thinking only of developing our village with that power! It was all for the village’s order…”

 

“Order?”

 

Livia, who had been watching with crossed arms, clicked her tongue.

 

“Order?”

 

She pressed close to the bars and flashed cold eyes.

 

“Dragging every young woman in the village to bed is order, you disgusting bastard?!”

 

Daren flinched.

 

“Seventeen wives, that’s not even funny! You even burned women who refused as heretics… Ack!”

 

At that moment, Aleric tapped Livia’s shoulder.

 

“Ah, why!”

 

When Livia turned around irritably, Aleric gestured somewhere with his eyes.

 

There stood Tie with curious, sparkling eyes.

 

“…Ah, Miss?”

 

Only then remembering that Tie was here with them, Livia’s eyes darted around.

 

But that was brief.

 

“Aunt Livia, what’s disgusting?”

 

Sure enough, Tie came running over and grabbed Livia’s sleeve.

 

Confusion quickly spread across Livia’s face.

 

“Uh, um… Well.”

 

“If you drag lots of people to bed, that’s disgusting, right? Then is Tie disgusting too?”

 

“What?”

 

“When Tie lived at the stronghold, Tie dragged lots of dolls to bed too. Tie’s bed was really big, so even when I put ten dolls on it twice, there was still room left!”

 

“Hey, child!”

 

But just then, the door at the end of the corridor opened and Veil entered.

 

Veil looked around the prison cell and sighed as if he understood.

 

He waved his hand at Tie as if telling her to come over.

 

“I’ll explain that to you, so come out here.”

 

Tie’s eyes widened.

 

“Eh? But we’re in the middle of interrogating the bad elder!”

 

“The interrogation can be done well enough without you, so come out. You’re hungry right now, aren’t you? Don’t you want to eat the snacks Ophilie brought from home?”

 

At the mention of snacks, Tie swallowed his saliva.

 

When Sire turned around, Livia smiled brightly as if she had been waiting for this moment.

 

“Miss! We’re fine, so please go ahead and eat first.”

 

“Yes. We’ll finish up quickly and come out too.”

 

With even Aleric chiming in, Tie nodded as if he had no choice.

 

“Okay! Then you have to come quickly, alright?”

 

Livia smiled awkwardly at the sight of him running off energetically.

 

Soon the corridor door closed with a thud.

 

Only then did Livia let out a sigh.

 

When she turned around again, Daren hurriedly dropped to his knees on the floor.

 

“Please let me go! I’m innocent! The magic power the High Priest gave me, I only used it for the village’s stability…!”

 

Aleric let out a low sigh.

 

“What you created wasn’t stability, but terror. It was chaos itself.”

 

Daren’s eyes widened as he stammered.

 

“But you know! For, for governance, a certain amount of fear is…!”

 

“Not governance, but domination. Speak correctly, you filthy bastard.”

 

Livia’s voice sharply cut off Daren’s words.

 

Daren’s face, which had been twitching his lips, gradually darkened.

 

Soon he reached out his hands as if clinging to the iron bars.

 

“I understand! It, it’s all my fault! I’ll live my whole life in repentance. So please, please…!”

 

His eyes shook desperately.

 

“Please let me out. I’ll give you anything you ask for! If I stay like this, I’ll die!”

 

His terrified voice was trembling finely.

 

“The villagers won’t forgive me. They’ll surely…!”

 

“Sorry, but we’re not judges.”

 

At that moment, Livia answered expressionlessly.

 

“So your sins will be judged in this village that you created.”

 

Daren’s lips parted.

 

The next moment he screamed sharply.

 

“Ahhh! Then I’ll die!”

 

“Hah, of course you will!”

 

Daren flinched at Livia’s exclamation mixed with mockery.

 

Livia looked down at Daren as if he were pathetic.

 

“Idiot. That’s exactly the proof that you failed at governance. If the people fear their ruler, then he’s not a ruler…”

 

In front of Daren’s eyes, Livia slowly turned her back.

 

“He’s a monster.”

 

The broken Daren’s lips trembled violently.

 

A few seconds later, a desperate scream began to flow from his mouth.

 

“Save me! Save me, I said! Let me out! Ahhh!”

 

The metallic sound of shaking iron bars echoed inside the prison cell.

 

But Livia didn’t even pretend to listen as she gestured toward the door to Aleric.

 

“Let’s go. I want to eat snacks too.”

 

Aleric nodded briefly.

 

The iron door that had been briefly open closed with a bang.

 

Daren slumped down to the floor.

 

The things that would happen to him seemed to be clearly drawn before his eyes.

 

Was it because of the cold air remaining in the prison cell, or because of the fear slowly seeping in?

 

Daren trembled violently at the feeling of his bones freezing.

 

At that moment, a palm-sized window in one corner of the prison cell caught his eye.

 

Beyond it.

 

The edge of the execution platform he had built himself could be faintly seen.
