A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 352

[To Kim Tie.]

Tie carefully grasped the letter with trembling hands.

[Are you doing well there? Don’t go picking at your side dishes again.]

She had only read the first line, but tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

The child held her breath tightly and quickly read through the next sentence.

[Here, all of Gold Apartment Complex has been demolished.

You’ve seen redevelopment news on TV before, right?

Our neighborhood became like that too, so everyone moved away.

Your father also returned to his hometown because of that.]

Tie took a small breath.

Her fingertips holding the letter trembled slightly.

[Still, this grandmother was lucky.

I got into a housing lottery where I could receive a house for free, so now I’ve moved to a very big and nice house with 203 Aunt.

Jeju Island, which you also know about, Tie. The place where dolphins appeared in documentaries.

Anyway, now I’m thinking of raising a Jindo dog in the courtyard and making a garden.

That means I’m doing well.

However, now that I’m here, the place where you moved and here are far too far apart.

It’ll be difficult to visit often and look after you like before. But that’s okay, right?

Well, our Tie is so capable that grandmother never worried from the beginning.]

“Sniff…”

Finally, tears began falling from her eyes one by one.

Tie wiped under her nose with her sleeve and turned to the next page.

[Tie, don’t cry. If you cry, your nose gets stuffy.

That’s just how life works.

Living means there are times when we must go different paths.

So there’s no reason to be sad at all.

You’re doing well and I’m doing well, so crying would just waste tears, right?]

Tie squeezed her eyes shut and opened them again.

She could almost hear 107 Grandmother’s voice following the sentences.

[Anyway.

Since things turned out this way, grandmother explained everything well to Teacher Isolje.

The teacher said this.

That Tie is a child who would shine wherever she goes.

You were the smartest and most capable in Quail Class, so you can do well even if it’s not Hanbit Kindergarten, right?

The friends in Quail Class now don’t know what to do because they’re so envious of you.

Among those kids, our Tie became a princess first, so that makes sense.]

Tie unconsciously fidgeted with her hands.

Until now, she had simply hated coming to this place.

She hated it even more when people called her Princess.

‘But still…’

Reading the letter gave her a strange feeling.

‘Tie became a princess first…?’

She had never thought of it that way, but amid her sadness, her heart tickled.

Moreover, to think that her friends were envious of Tie.

Those words made even her bottom wiggle involuntarily.

The letter moved to the next page.

[Tie, always listen well to Father.

First, listen well to Father, second, listen well to Father, and third, listening well to Father is important.]

Now there weren’t many words left.

Beyond her blurred vision, she could see the last two paragraphs.

[Child, people scatter and meet again.

So don’t be too disappointed and smile.

Grandmother always said, right?

When you smile, the world smiles along with you.]

Finally, the fallen tears spread over the ink.

[Grandmother will now live looking at the sea.

I’ll live listening to the sound of good wind and beautiful waves.

So don’t worry about me.

You also live seeing only beautiful things.

Freely, joyfully, and happily.]

That was the end.

Taking a deep breath, sorrowful crying burst from Tie’s mouth.

“Uh, uhhuung…”

“Y-Your Highness Princess?”

Sabert approached restlessly.

“No, what could be written there… How should I handle this…”

That’s when it happened.

Looking up at Sabert with wet eyes, Tie unconsciously grabbed his hand.

Then she suddenly buried her face in his embrace.

“Huh, hup. Your Highness Princess?”

Startled, Sabert stiffened rigidly.

That was understandable, since Tie had never properly conversed with Sabert, let alone hugged him.

“Tie will, hic, listen well to Shabet Grandfather from now on.”

Sabert hesitated.

The child was looking at Sabert with determined eyes even while hiccupping.

“Teacher Isolje and Hanbit Kindergarten, hic! I won’t bring shame to them…! Hic!”

Sabert’s eyes widened.

He looked down at the letter with a bewildered expression.

Inside it were only incomprehensible characters.

“O-of course, Your Highness Princess!”

But he quickly came to his senses.

Then he hurriedly patted Tie’s back.

“This Sabert will help you!”

He embraced the child who clung to him and wouldn’t let go.

“In this palace, I will teach you anything so that Your Highness can be happy! I promise!”

Tie didn’t answer.

She only buried her face deeper into his embrace.

Sabert let out a trembling sigh and lifted his head.

Sunlight streaming through the window was coloring the study.

He lowered his gaze again to look at the crown of the head in his arms.

‘I thought getting close would be impossible…’

He could see a change in Princess Tie, who had been uncontrollable until now.

A very small but definite change.

A few seconds later.

A faint smile of relief spread across Sabert’s lips.

Late spring.

“What’s this? Why is the atmosphere like this here?”

Rosewarbel 89.

Ripper, who had entered Princess Astie’s chambers, threw out a cheeky joke as usual.

“I’m pretty sure I came to collect Her Highness’s belongings. Are you still illegally occupying this place?”

Veil, who was sprawled on the sofa in front of the fireplace, lifted his head.

He confirmed Ripper’s face and waved his hand irritably.

“If you came to get the luggage, just take it and get lost. Don’t pick fights for no reason.”

Ripper’s eyes widened.

Just as he was about to retort, Raul walked out from the kitchen.

“Please understand. He’s like that because he got rejected again today.”

Ripper’s eyes widened at the whispered voice.

He dragged Raul toward the stairs.

“Again today? Did he go to see Her Highness again today?”

Raul nodded gloomily.

“…Yes. He and Lord Basto have been going every day for the past six months.”

Ripper’s mouth fell open.

He glanced once toward the fireplace where Veil was and clicked his tongue.

“Impressive. If the other party wasn’t Her Highness, that persistence would have achieved something.”

Raul sighed instead of answering.

“But what’s the point? There’s no progress at all.”

Silence fell.

Ripper stroked his thickly grown beard, lost in thought.

‘Right, it has been a long time.’

When Tie defeated Luciano, she forgot everything that had happened.

Unfortunately, that included memories related to Agabelt.

The unit members who had cherished Astie more than anyone were all filled with sorrow.

Among them, the most shocked were naturally Veil and Basto.

‘Child, I’m here! I brought some of your favorite toys from the stronghold!’

‘Tie. I learned from Marshal and tried baking some pumpkin pie that you like. I’m not sure if it’ll taste good, but…’

The two realized that Astie’s memories weren’t returning and changed their strategy.

Like before, they decided to approach her friendly and build a new friendship.

But even that wasn’t easy.

‘S-Sabert Grandfather! That lady and uncle came again! Tell them to leave quickly, quickly!’

Tie hated the mercenaries.

Basto, Veil, Raul and Enzo.

Aleric, Victor, and even Livia whom she had loved and followed so much.

‘Waaah, Tie said she doesn’t like them! She said not to let them come to Tie’s domain!’

She must have hated them so much that the child would run to the palace tutor Sabert just at the sight of their shadows.

‘Tell them to go, tell them to go quickly!’

Since the child absolutely wouldn’t let them near, the unit members had no choice.

Eventually, Aleric was the first to turn away.

Raul, Enzo, and Victor followed suit.

Soon Livia also gave up.

‘…Why is she acting like that? This isn’t just being unfamiliar. She hates us. She’s disgusted by us.’

‘It must be because of first impressions. When she opened her eyes again, we looked terrible.’

The unit members despaired, and those who had somewhere to return to scattered one by one.

The executives who had been close to Tie remained at the stronghold, but there wasn’t much else to do.

With the demons gone, work had drastically decreased.

“…Still no thoughts of becoming imperial soldiers? Thanks to His Majesty’s intervention, former mercenaries can be guaranteed some level of rank.”

At Ripper’s words, Raul sighed.

“I’ve thought about it. With no work available, how could I not think about it? But…”

He gestured toward Veil and Basto in front of the fireplace.

“Lord Veil and Lord Basto opposed it. They said the unit leader’s—I mean, Her Highness’s memories might return.”

“What?”

“They said how shocked she would be if she found out Agabelt had already disbanded when her memories returned…”
