A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 350

Tie unconsciously swallowed her saliva.

The messy floor.

Even the broken glass shards and scattered flower petals.

“Astie.”

A low, firm voice was heard.

When she raised her head, sure enough, she saw Tesetan’s strangely hardened expression.

And the fact that he called her ‘Astie’ of all things.

Her shoulders naturally shrank.

‘I’m in trouble…’

Tie’s eyes, who had been restless, quickly turned red.

“Hueeng…”

Tie lowered her head and wiped away the flowing tears.

‘Tie knows.’

If you broke someone else’s things, it was proper etiquette to apologize immediately.

That was exactly what a good child should do.

‘But…!’

She couldn’t quite control her sad and upset feelings.

“Father, hic, I hate Father…”

In the end, crying leaked from her mouth.

“Hueong, I hate that lady too…!”

Tie, who had stepped back to avoid the glass shards, crouched down on the floor as if she had lost everything in the world.

Her two hands covering her face trembled sadly.

“Tie is a child without a mother! But when she said the vase was given by her mother, that’s why, hueong…!”

Cadia’s eyes widened greatly.

Soon, surprise and confusion mixed on her face.

Tie looked at Tesetan.

“And Father, hic, Father is…”

These were words she had hesitated to say several times since yesterday.

Each time they had risen to the tip of her tongue, but for some reason she couldn’t say them, thinking Father would be hurt.

“Father was going to abandon Tie, right?”

Finally, when she spat out those words, tears fell drop by drop from her eyes.

“That’s why you didn’t come the day before yesterday, or yesterday either, right? The alley, hic, ladies said… that Father abandoned Tie and left… huu.”

Ten days ago.

Father, who had gone to work like any other day, came to mind.

‘Father will be back, okay? Be careful going to preschool. Have fun playing with Grandmother today too. Don’t watch too much TV, okay?’

‘Mmhm!’

She didn’t know back then.

That Father wouldn’t return home for well over a week.

‘Oh my, should we file a missing person report or something…!’

‘Wouldn’t it be better to wait and see first? What if he has circumstances he can’t talk about and we report it unnecessarily and the police come!’

Why was it.

Adults’ voices seemed to be heard better when they whispered.

So even sitting alone in her room, she could hear all the words exchanged in the alley.

‘But I keep having these thoughts.’

‘…’

‘Is Mr. Kim the type of person to leave his post without any contact? So, just in case, if Mr. Kim disappeared leaving his child behind…’

‘What are you all talking about?! Can’t you watch your words?!’

‘No~ Unit 203 is being a bit much too. Frankly speaking, did we say anything we shouldn’t have? If a promising young bachelor disappeared leaving his child behind, that’s the first thought that comes to mind. Isn’t that right, everyone? Isn’t it?’

‘That can’t be.’

Of course, Tie thought that couldn’t be the case.

The Father she loved most in the world leaving Tie behind.

She had never even suspected such a thing could happen.

But still, even so.

‘Grandfather! Did Father come home?!’

On the way back after finishing preschool.

Every time the Go-playing grandfathers in the alley shook their heads.

‘Grandmother! Father is…’

Every time 107 Grandmother’s expression was dark when she came out to greet her.

‘Did Father really abandon Tie?’

The anxiety in her heart kept growing.

‘To make a fresh start with a young woman without Tie…?’

All sorts of makjang dramas she had seen on television flashed through her mind.

The words adults had whispered about Tie also lingered in her ears every time she lay down to sleep.

So…

“Tie, hic, waited so sadly…”

Not only did he suddenly appear, but Father, who had brought Tie to an unfamiliar place, became even more hateful.

Tie raised her tear-filled eyes to look up at Father.

“Suddenly disappearing, suddenly appearing! Father came here to move as he pleased! Without asking, hueong, Tie’s opinion at all!”

She didn’t know how surprised she was when she first opened her eyes.

Blood, and monsters.

Even scary-looking men with fierce eyes staring at her.

“Tie hates it here! Why do you keep saying Jongno-gu is far! We can go back, we can move again!”

Feeling so very sad and wronged, Tie just plopped down on the floor.

“Tie can’t live here. This isn’t even home, how can I live here! Even if you tell me to endure and live, even if Tie dies trying, I can’t live like this!”

Tie, who had been wailing, staggered to her feet.

Then, after glaring at Father once, she ran away through the door visible before her eyes.

“I, I’ll go follow her.”

Flustered Cadia hurriedly followed after her.

Tesetan remained frozen in place, then let out a groan and grabbed his forehead.

‘Suddenly disappearing, suddenly appearing! Father came here to move as he pleased!’

Tie’s words echoed in his ears.

“…She thinks we moved here?”

At first, he couldn’t be certain.

What on earth had happened to Tie’s memories.

If the child was going to lose her memories, from what point would that be.

But now he seemed to vaguely understand.

It was then that Tesetan closed his mouth with a complicated expression.

“Regent.”

The corridor door opened with a knock.

Aleric spoke from the front of the mercenaries who cautiously entered.

“The Paladins have returned after finishing the cleanup of Roxe Forest.”

Tesetan’s eyes widened at the words that followed.

“Lucalion is with them too.”

“I greet Your Imperial Majesty.”

Ardiana, who had been standing by the window of the Audience Hall, turned around.

Members of the Luminen Family stood before the open door.

“We entered the palace immediately upon arrival, so our attire is shabby. Please forgive us.”

Valentis bowed while hiding his ash-stained cloak.

“It’s fine. Don’t worry about it.”

Ardiana simply nodded and took her seat.

“How is the situation on the Central Continent?”

Valentis raised his head.

“Several sanctuaries, including Serkanos Cathedral, have begun restoration. Eura is commanding the site, so there shouldn’t be any major problems.”

Ardiana’s brow furrowed.

“I see. But weren’t there remnants of Luciano’s forces remaining on the Central Continent?”

“That has also been resolved.”

At Valentis’s signal, two Paladins entered carrying a corpse covered in white cloth.

When the cloth was removed, it revealed a man with blue veins protruding all over his body.

“It seems he shared his corrupted divine power with anyone who was his aide. When Luciano died, all those who received his divine power were consumed like this.”

Ardiana quietly rose from her seat and approached the corpse.

Her gaze darkened.

“…Unexpectedly, that’s one less task to handle.”

“Yes. And the World Tree’s purification is currently being watched over by Nordics.”

Ardiana turned around.

Valentis continued speaking.

“There are signs of recovery starting from around the rotted roots. Though Nordics couldn’t see it with his spiritual sight, Lucalion says he witnessed the World Tree’s manifestation.”

“Then.”

Ardiana came before Valentis, her eyes lighting up.

“My daughter. Did you learn anything about Astie?”

Valentis raised his head.

At that moment, someone quietly entered the Audience Hall.

It was Lucalion approaching with an expressionless face.

Lucalion faced Ardiana.

“…Astie received a blessing.”

Ardiana drew in a small breath.

“The distorted timeline won’t be a problem anymore. There’s even less chance that the child will die or disappear because of it.”

But Lucalion’s expression was somehow unpleasant.

“However.”

As expected.

A somehow hollow light passed through his red eyes.

“In the process, part of Astie’s memories were destroyed. Specifically, all memories from after coming to Talochium.”

Ardiana’s eyes widened.

Lucalion quietly looked down at the floor.

A strange resignation appeared in his sunken gaze.

“Perhaps… those memories may never be recovered.”
