A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 366

2. Secret Inspector Reporting for Duty!

Princess’s Palace, one late afternoon.

“An inspection? To the Northern Disaster Region?”

Tesetan asked with wide eyes.

“The Northern Disaster Region is where we recently provided relief funds. Didn’t we receive a report just a few days ago that reconstruction was proceeding smoothly?”

“Yes.”

Ardiana answered with a sigh and added.

“But there’s something that’s bothering me.”

She paused mid-sentence.

Tie was struggling with broccoli across from them.

The child had her eyes tightly shut, trying to stab a piece of broccoli with her fork and bring it to her mouth, only to put it back down.

She took a sip of water, tried again, then put it down again, repeating this cycle.

When their eyes met, Ardiana smiled encouragingly.

Fighting spirit blazed in Tie’s eyes.

While Tie picked up her fork again, Ardiana looked at Tesetan.

“There have been reports of attacks by what are presumed to be monsters in the territories near the disaster region.”

“Is that really true?”

Tesetan’s eyes widened.

“Yes. And it’s not just one place. The reports came in simultaneously from villages surrounding the disaster region.”

“Huh.”

With a short sigh, Tesetan leaned back against his chair.

‘Monsters, you say.’

All monsters had disappeared 12 years ago.

Half died, and half were purified into spirits when the Pope fell.

But monsters?

“Are you certain?”

“That’s what they say. But there’s something even stranger.”

“What is it?”

“No reports or petitions whatsoever have come from inside the disaster region itself.”

A brief silence fell over the dining table.

The only sound was Tie’s clinking as she broke her broccoli into six pieces.

“That’s strange.”

Tesetan muttered.

“If monsters really appeared, there should be news from the disaster region too. Those creatures wouldn’t selectively attack territories.”

Ardiana nodded.

The west and south were suffering from attacks by unidentified monsters.

Yet only the land caught between them remained unharmed – it was hard to accept.

As Tesetan’s expression grew serious, Ardiana reached across the table and placed her hand over his.

“It’s probably nothing serious, honey. I’m certain of that.”

Then she smiled.

“There are many bears in the north, so it’s probably bears’ doing. Of course, I still want to check. By sending that inspection team I mentioned.”

Tesetan nodded.

“Right, we need to confirm whether reconstruction is going well anyway, given the relief funds we provided.”

“Yes. So I initially thought of sending Cadia, but no matter how I think about it, it would be difficult to handle state affairs without her.”

Tesetan fell into thought for a moment.

He was considering whether there was anyone else besides Cadia suitable for the inspection.

Sure enough, Ardiana asked.

“Don’t you have anyone you could recommend? A paladin or a nobleman. Someone connected to the Valentis Family would be fine too.”

Tesetan made a small groaning sound.

“Well. No one particularly comes to mind. I’d like to go myself if I could, but…”

“That won’t do.”

Ardiana immediately cut him off.

“If you go, it won’t be an inspection anymore.”

Tesetan nodded.

After becoming the Emperor’s consort, his appearance and face had been exposed not only throughout the Empire but even to foreign countries across the sea.

Ardiana sighed.

“Besides, your face stands out too much.”

“Stands out?”

“You’re too handsome.”

Ardiana continued matter-of-factly.

“Why do you think rumors spread across the entire continent about Talochium’s national treasure being an enchantingly handsome man?”

Tesetan, who had been silent for a moment, soon burst into chuckling laughter.

Then he whispered playfully to Ardiana.

“What’s so special about a beautiful king taking a beautiful national treasure as her husband?”

A rosy smile also appeared on Ardiana’s face.

She gently stroked Tesetan’s cheek with affectionate eyes.

Tesetan turned his head and kissed her hand.

Just as a tender atmosphere was flowing between the couple’s gazes.

“Phew, I finished it all!”

With the sound of a fork being put down, Tie let out the breath she’d been holding.

The child swallowed the remaining broccoli in her mouth with her eyes tightly shut and looked up.

“Mother, Tie finished it all! Father! Tie did it!”

“My goodness, how admirable.”

Ardiana immediately spread her arms wide.

Tie climbed down from her chair and rushed into her embrace.

Then she puffed out her cheeks and muttered with a sulky expression.

“I didn’t want to eat it. But Uncle Basto keeps nagging that I need to eat everything to grow tall…”

“You did well. Everything Hammer says is for our Tie’s health.”

The child nodded and picked up her water glass, gulping it down.

Then she even burped loudly and pouted her lips.

“My mouth smells green.”

“That’s the smell of health, you know?”

When Tesetan playfully chimed in, Tie, who had been staring blankly, narrowed her eyes.

“Hmph. Father doesn’t know anything. Father doesn’t know Tie’s special taste preferences.”

“Then will you leave the broccoli? What did Father tell you? Inside that broccoli is…”

“Wah! Tie knows there’s the precious blood and sweat of farmer uncles in it too.”

Tesetan finally burst into laughter at the child’s pouting appearance.

Tie watched him with a sulky expression, then pressed her face against Ardiana’s shoulder.

As the child quieted down, the couple naturally continued their earlier conversation.

“Anyway. Should we recruit someone new? I’d prefer someone trustworthy in case of unexpected situations.”

“Not having their identity discovered is most important. If the disaster region lord is hiding something, they’ll try to keep it from anyone from the Imperial Palace at all costs.”

“Hmm, someone who can handle any situation flexibly while having an unknown face…”

That’s when it happened.

“Child! Big brother is here!”

“What big brother, are you crazy? It would be uncle!”

“Shut up, Livia! If I’m uncle to the child, then are you auntie to the child too?”

“Pfft, I’m already being called Aunt by Princess, so I don’t mind at all?”

“Ha, Livia. No matter how many times I tell you not to fight with Veil, you still…”

The area outside the dining hall became noisy.

The Agavert Members had been able to freely enter and leave the Princess’s Palace ever since Tie’s memories returned.

Ardiana and Tesetan’s eyes met as they both widened in surprise.

“What, an inspection?”

Veil, who had Tie sitting on his lap, asked with a surprised expression.

Tesetan, who had been prettily placing two raspberries next to the tart for Tie to eat from across the table, looked up.

“That’s right. An inspection.”

He looked around at the members who were each occupying a seat on the reception room sofa.

“It won’t be difficult work. We just need to take a look around the disaster region once.”

Then Basto, who had been silent the entire time, stepped forward.

“But isn’t the distance to the northern disaster region quite far?”

“It used to be like that. Now that roads for carriages have been built, it’s become much closer.”

After placing the dessert plate in front of Tie, Tesetan leaned back against the backrest.

“About ten days would be enough for a round trip. Including the time to look around after arriving, we should be able to return within two weeks at most.”

“Hmm.”

Livia made a contemplative sound.

Meanwhile.

Aleric was quietly focusing on Tesetan’s words.

“How about it? Aren’t you getting bored of just staying at the Rosewerbel Town House? This would be a good chance to see the outside and breathe some fresh air too.”

“I was actually feeling restless…”

Veil muttered and glanced at Basto.

“When it’s just Basto and me at the manor, it’s comfortable but also strangely irritating. I really don’t know why that is…”

“That’s what I should be saying, Veil.”

“What? Come on, wouldn’t it be normal for me to feel worse about it?”

“I want to go.”

While the two were bickering, Aleric stepped forward.

“Isn’t it just a matter of conducting an inspection while hiding our identities? If there really are problems in the disaster region, it would be interesting to dig into them too.”

Having said that, Aleric looked around at Livia and the other members.

“Also, it wouldn’t be bad to move together as a group for once in a while…”

“Gasp! Then Tie wants to go too!”

Just then, Tie cried out urgently.

Everyone’s attention focused on the child.
