A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 362

‘It’s finally coming to an end!’

Watching Tie absorbed in her play, Sabert swallowed tears of joy inwardly.

“Hmm haha, Tie knew from the beginning. That the cause of this incurable disease is snacks! Snacks are very delicious and sweet, so you want to keep eating them, but if you become addicted, it’s very dangerous…”

Beyond Tie’s monologue, events from long ago came to mind.

“Grandfather Sabert, please! Hm? Please.”

“Your Highness Princess. Please don’t do this. Hospital play all of a sudden? And with five different roles at that?”

“You can just ask Sister Aila and the other sisters to do it. Hm?”

“Good heavens, didn’t I tell you not to call the servants who do menial work in the palace ‘sister’?”

Sabert cherished the small, young, immature princess deep in his heart.

Not simply as a teacher, but as an adult who spent most of his working hours with her.

Tie was an imaginative and lovable child.

For her age—though I’m not sure if I should say this since she’s unintentionally spending a longer childhood than others—she also had thoughtful and mature aspects.

So Sabert generally went along with Tie’s requests.

He would usually agree even when she asked to skip lessons and go on picnics.

‘I even kept quiet about the fact that she secretly ate three chocolate muffins that His Majesty had forbidden.’

However, requests like today’s were always troublesome no matter how many times he heard them.

‘She wants to play famous doctor.’

Not hospital play, but famous doctor play.

It was a major role-play that required a total of five people: a doctor, a patient who received a death sentence, two nurses, and the patient’s father.

“Tie will be the doctor! Tie will ask the sisters about the other roles, so just wait a little!”

“I told you the servants are busy! Wait! Your Highness Princess!”

But what choice did he have?

Tie had already thrown down her books and pencil and run off to the servant quarters prepared behind the Princess’s Palace.

“You’re promising, right? We’ll do it just once and then finish reading the book we were reading earlier. Yes?”

“Mm-hm! When have you ever seen Tie break a promise?”

There was nothing else to say to the child making such bold claims.

What Tie said was also correct.

Aside from occasionally acting impulsively like this, Tie was an excellent student who followed his lessons well.

“Ahem! My beloved daughter Aila. To think that you’re sick makes this father’s heart feel like it’s being torn apart.”

Thus, the role given to him was that of the patient’s father.

He had no choice but to keep clearing his throat while holding the shoulder of a servant named Aila, whom he had never even spoken to before.

“Uh, th, Father…? Seeing you worry makes my heart… ache too…”

Of course, the servant also seemed to find him just as awkward.

Both of them clearly had acting skills that made one sigh.

Sure enough.

Tie expressed dissatisfaction with exactly that point.

“Cut! No no, that’s not it.”

“Ahem! Ah, it’s not?”

“Yeah. More. Tears should be flowing like this!”

“Tears…”

“When Sister Aila goes ‘urgh,’ Grandfather Sabert should run around here going ‘Doctor! Doctooooor!’ Nurses 1 and 2 too.”

The ‘famous doctor play’ became increasingly realistic.

Even Sabert was surprised to find himself deeply immersed in his role.

And so, after the third or fourth attempt.

Finally, they were able to reach the climax of this grand drama.

“Oh no, Aila! This can’t be! Please save our Aila!”

Sabert shook the servant’s paper-thin body while making realistic crying sounds.

“Doctor! Aila is my one and only daughter! I can’t let her go like this!”

Due to excessive immersion, even the ‘ad-lib’ impromptu lines that Tie had been pestering for flowed out.

“I’m sorry…”

Tie, wrapped in a white curtain, shook her head back and forth.

Then, seeing the servant who timely hung her head down, she continued speaking.

“Miss Aila has passed away. The cause of death was very fatal overeating!”

Sabert made ‘uhhhhh, huhhhhh!’ sounds while pounding the floor with his fists.

However, the corners of his mouth, with his head down, were slightly raised.

‘Finally!’

Finally, this ‘famous doctor play’ that had consumed the entire afternoon was coming to an end!

Since I’ve done it properly just as you wanted, you won’t pester me to play this game again for a while.

After the play ends, I’ll ask the servants to bring a cup of warm milk.

Having exhausted herself from all that playing, the princess will start nodding off once she drinks the milk.

Then I’ll let her take a short nap, and after dinner, do some simple history study that we couldn’t finish in the morning…

“…Hm?”

However, his thoughts soon came to an abrupt halt.

It was because the servant, who should have been diligently pretending to be dead, suddenly stood up from her spot.

Sabert was startled and reflexively turned his head to check on Tie.

Fortunately, Tie was in the middle of her monologue with her back turned.

It was roughly about how snack overeating disease was such a terrible illness that even a famous doctor like herself couldn’t do anything about it.

“L, look here. What are you doing right now…?”

Sabert grabbed the servant’s shoulder and whispered.

Then he struggled to lay her back down on the floor while groaning.

“Hurry up and lie back down! Are you planning to start over from the beginning?!”

However, the servant wouldn’t listen.

For some reason, she just kept trying to get up from her spot with a troubled expression.

“Why are you acting like this, really! Snap out of it! No, don’t snap out of it! Lie down!”

Sabert’s heart pounded frantically.

If the princess sees this, everything will be over.

We’ll have to start everything over from the scene of bringing the ailing daughter to the doctor!

“W, well, it’s not that, outside…!”

“Oh nooooo! Our daughter-!”

Oh, forget it.

Sabert squeezed his eyes shut and slammed the servant down.

Then he embraced Astie instead of the servant.

It was to naturally block the space between the half-risen servant and Tie.

“Save my daughter! If you’re truly a famous doctor, then save my daughter!”

Tie, whose face was buried in Sabert’s arms, groaned.

“Grandfather Sabert…! You should shake Sister Aila, not Tie…”

“Oh my! Oh nooo! I must go elsewhere while the nurses lay my daughter in the coffin! Otherwise, the snack overeating disease might spread to everyone!”

“Snack overeating disease isn’t contagious!”

Sabert groaned as he lifted the child up.

Then he hurriedly turned his body to the opposite side of the servant.

He intended to somehow get out of the courtyard and then conclude this play.

“Although my daughter has left this world, that child will always live in my heart… will live… huh?”

Soon he froze in place once again, unable to finish his lines.

“Grandfather? What’s wrong?”

Tie’s mouth also fell open as she wriggled out of his arms.

In the distance.

Ardiana stood at the courtyard entrance with her eyes wide open.

“This is… I don’t know what to say…”

Ardiana looked at Sabert, who couldn’t lift his head.

Sabert’s forehead was drenched in cold sweat.

“It’s a kind of hospital play, you see. If I don’t make it realistic, she keeps insisting we start over from the beginning…”

Ardiana stared blankly for a moment, then nodded.

“So that’s why you ran all the way out of the Princess’s Palace looking for a physician?”

“Yes… I don’t know how you happened to see me looking for a physician…”

“Cadia misunderstood.”

“I have no words…”

Ardiana let out a short laugh, then raised her head.

“That’s enough. I’m relieved it’s nothing serious.”

Sabert fidgeted restlessly and bowed his head.

Ardiana patted his shoulder to show she really was fine with it.

“More importantly, I haven’t been able to talk with you much lately. How is the child doing? What about those nightmares she used to have? It’s not easy for me to personally check on her bedtime…”

She had deliberately avoided visiting the Princess’s Palace frequently.

She only heard news of the child through Tesetan before bedtime.

Still, since she was here anyway, when she asked her overdue questions, Sabert’s eyes brightened.

“I’m not sure which aspect you’re asking about, but first…”

He cleared his throat for a moment, then continued with a very proud voice.

“In terms of academic achievement, she’s absolutely excellent!”
