A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 358

“Now, woo-woo, ah-ah, let’s do it~”

“Woo-woo… ah-ah….”

“On this cheek too, swish swish, on that cheek too, swish swish~”

“Woo-roo-roo-roo….”

“Now spit!”

“Ptui!”

Tie, with her eyes tightly shut, spat out the mouthwash.

Marshal, who had been watching this scene fondly, quickly wiped Tie’s face with a soft towel.

“Now I’ll tie your hair. What hairstyle shall I do for you today?”

It felt like just yesterday that she had entered the Imperial Palace because Astie needed a nanny.

Before she knew it, Marshal’s nanny life had entered its 10th year.

In front of such Marshal, Tie fell into serious contemplation as usual.

“Hmmmm…!”

Her large green eyes alternately scanned the two different colored hair ribbons in Marshal’s hands.

“Hmmmm!”

White, and light green.

“Shall I guess?”

Marshal smiled warmly and crouched down in front of Tie.

“Light green! Right?”

Tie made a “huh” sound and opened her eyes wide.

Marshal continued as if she had expected this.

“I know everything, don’t I? That our Princess originally likes green. Right?”

Tie gulped.

But the child soon straightened her shoulders and answered.

“Yeah, but today I’ll do white!”

“Oh? White?”

“Yeah!”

Tie made a solemn expression.

“Today is a day Tie doesn’t really like. So instead of my most favorite color, I should use a color I like just a little.”

Marshal closed her mouth.

‘A day she doesn’t really like….’

Today was the day the 5th Youngwhi Festival was being held.

The Youngwhi Festival.

The Empire’s new commemorative day that began with the announcement of Tie’s birth.

On Youngwhi Festival days, flags were hung throughout the Empire from early dawn.

People of all ages talked about the protagonists of the Youngwhi Festival.

Namely, about the mercenaries.

“Princess, you shouldn’t say such things….”

Marshal approached Tie’s side as if to comfort her.

“You know too, don’t you, Princess? The Youngwhi Festival isn’t just a simple commemorative day.”

“….”

“Mercenaries were once called the Empire’s shadow. At that time, even the Imperial Court turned away from them.”

“….”

“But they risked their lives to protect the Empire. Fighting against those terrifying monsters.”

Tie’s face quickly became dejected.

“Tie knows too. Mercenaries are scary but cool!”

“Then why did you say what you said earlier?”

“That’s because…!”

Tie stared at Marshal as if feeling wronged.

“Because Tie is so busy during the Youngwhi Festival that she can’t even breathe!”

Marshal’s lips parted.

“I can’t even play with my new Imperial Kindergarten friends! And I can’t see Selina either! Tie feels like she’s going to get neurosis!”

Tie let out a deep sigh.

“And Father and Mother are too much too. Making Tie work like a child laborer from the new year….”

“Ch-child laborer?!”

“Yeah! Sending me to crowded places and making me stamp things! Making children busy is child labor.”

Marshal was so shocked that her lips trembled.

“Princess, that’s…!”

But she couldn’t continue speaking.

‘How can I tell her that the Princess’s growth is scheduled to start again from this year…!’

Ardiana had already announced ‘the Princess’s birth’ four years ago.

Timed to Tie’s birthday.

That way, this year, Tie could naturally appear in public looking her actual age.

So the sudden appearance of the Imperial Kindergarten in the Imperial Palace.

And Tie being able to move around the Imperial Palace more freely than before were all actually for the same reason….

“Tie is so, so tired lately.”

For Tie, who couldn’t know everything, the suddenly increased external activities seemed burdensome.

“You’ve been tired?”

“Yeah. Getting up early to eat snacks. Playing and then eating snacks. Taking naps and eating more snacks – what a rigid schedule…!”

Tie held her forehead.

“That’s why I don’t like today’s Youngwhi Festival either. I have to sit for a long, long time like the last New Year’s ignition ceremony, right?”

“It won’t be like that. I’ll make sure you can return quickly. And Princess? It’s not the New Year’s ignition ceremony, it’s the eve festival….”

“Same difference~”

Tie shrugged her shoulders.

As the child turned around, her small white feet were revealed between the fluttering pajamas.

Marshal was about to say something but closed her mouth.

Seeing the child’s pale little feet, she couldn’t help but smile.

‘…A baby who’s been four years old for 12 years, not just 1 year.’

But even that would end soon.

Tie would now grow like ordinary children.

Thinking that far, Marshal unconsciously sniffled.

“Oh my, how silly of me.”

When Tie’s growth was stopped, she had wished for the child to become free as soon as possible.

That was because Tie had to secretly go in and out of the domain for the past 12 years.

If her appearance was exposed to the outside, she could have been subjected to unnecessary gossip.

‘Of course, that’s why His Majesty the Emperor would rent out entire neighborhoods whenever we went somewhere, so there were no problems….’

Anyway.

Thinking that this would be the last time seeing this adorable appearance made her heart ache for some reason.

“Now, shall I tie your hair?”

Marshal gently combed the child’s hair while shaking off the strange emotions.

And at the same time.

“Let’s see, let’s see….”

Ardiana walked through the Imperial Palace corridor, quickly flipping through the parchment in her hands.

“Eastern Port opening. Let’s approve this as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Let’s postpone the Populosa Weapon District matter for now. Isn’t Berukon also scheduled to attend today?”

“That’s correct.”

“How is the Northern Mines railway project progressing?”

“Well, there’s a lord who’s been sucking the blood of the local residents who keeps casting opposing votes in the assembly…”

“Tell him to see me in four days.”

“Pardon?”

“Sending an imperial envoy would only complicate things. Rather than making everyone’s life difficult, it’s better to handle it quickly on my end. Tell him to come to the Imperial Palace the day after tomorrow.”

“Understood.”

“Now! Then…”

Finally.

A glossy leather notebook revealed itself from the very bottom of the parchments.

Ardiana’s businesslike gaze completely changed.

“Let’s see? How has our daughter been doing lately?”

As she opened the notebook with a pleased smile, the neat handwriting of Tie’s palace tutor, Sabert, was revealed.

[3rd day of the Holy Wind Month.

1. Lady Selina visited shortly after class began.

2. Lady Selina has already become a lady and wears ‘real princess dresses,’ complaining about why you are still so small.

3. ‘Non-growing magic’-

(Through recent repeated persuasion, I have succeeded in correcting it from ‘non-growing disease’ to ‘non-growing magic.’)

-Asked thirty-two times throughout the class when this would be cured.]

Ardiana burst into laughter.

She turned to look at Ripper.

“Did you see that? She asked the same question thirty-two times.”

“Ah, is that so?”

“Yes. She’s truly my daughter, isn’t she? Already having such strong will and tremendous persistence, she’ll become an even greater sovereign than me in the future.”

Ripper gave an awkward smile, “Haha.”

Ardiana turned her gaze back to the notebook.

[8th day of the Holy Wind Month.

1. Two letters from the Pope of the Holy Nation and one letter from High Priest Eura arrived for Her Highness the Princess.

(Your Majesty, that Nordics fellow clearly puts the Holy Nation second no matter how you look at it. Otherwise, how could someone who calls himself the new leader of the Reform Order write twenty letters monthly to a foreign princess? His intentions are impure, so you should cut him off from the start…)]

Flip, the notebook turned over.

[13th day of the Holy Wind Month.

1. As soon as class started, you asked about why you became afflicted with the ‘non-growing magic.’]

Ardiana’s expression darkened.

Tie had been increasingly questioning why she wasn’t growing lately.

‘With her memories not fully returned yet, how can I explain all of that…’

It was when Ardiana was sighing softly while pondering.

“Your Majesty.”

Ripper stepped forward.

When she raised her gaze, Ardiana found herself already at the front of the Audience Hall.

Ardiana closed the notebook and nodded.

Ripper opened the door.

Then several people who had been seated earlier came into view.

“…Your Majesty the Emperor.”

“We greet Your Majesty.”

The members of Agabert’s unit that had been disbanded eleven years ago.

All of them, dressed in neat formal attire, rose from their seats.
