A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 388

Marbas tilted his head.

“Has he finally lost his mind after being cornered?”

He turned to look at Tie and added.

“Master. It would be best to just pass by quietly! He already doesn’t seem to be in his right mind.”

Tie quietly blinked her eyes.

Marbas was right.

‘The ceiling might collapse. But Yellow Belt Baron isn’t even trying to escape…’

The child with a serious expression made a groaning sound as she pondered something.

Then Krazaru, who had been watching, also stepped forward.

“Mother. There’s no more time to delay. Let’s depart quickly…”

“No, wait just a moment.”

Tie raised one hand high.

Then she patted Krazaru’s arm as if asking to be put down for a moment.

Standing with both feet on the ground, Tie shouted with a serious face.

“Let’s take Yellow Belt Baron with us too!”

Marbas and Krazaru’s eyes widened.

“What?”

“Are you saying we should take that cruel and ruthless person with us now?”

Instead of answering, Tie nodded her head.

Then she placed one hand near her mouth and whispered softly so only the two spirits could hear.

“If we leave him behind, Yellow Belt Baron might get trapped underground, and that wouldn’t be right.”

Krazaru closed his mouth.

Marbas narrowed his brow and then made an awkward expression.

“Um, Master? That baron is a very evil person who captured nearby spirits and extorted Croa!”

Tie closed her mouth.

“Is that all? He squandered the support funds from the Imperial Palace on buying private soldiers, and even transformed spirits into monsters, turning the entire area into ruins.”

Marbas’s eyes grew cold.

“I don’t want to say cruel things in front of my young master, but even if that person gets out of here, he’ll end up on the gallows anyway.”

Tension appeared on Tie’s face.

Gallows, guillotine… Now Tie knew well about such things too.

‘Mother and Father said that some wrongs must be paid for even by taking one’s life.’

So the fact that Yellow Belt Baron might be sentenced to death wasn’t sad or regrettable.

But…

“Still.”

Tie raised her head.

The child unconsciously fidgeted with both hands.

“Sabert Grandfather taught me that procedure is important when giving punishment.”

Marbas’s eyes widened.

“And we’re secret inspectors. Isn’t the role of secret inspectors to bring bad criminals before the king?”

Marbas made a groaning sound.

“Hmm, secret inspectors do have the right of summary judgment… but Master is correct. For serious punishments like execution, reporting to superiors would have been the principle.”

“That’s right!”

Tie looked at Krazaru with a much brighter expression.

“Ppupppu, you heard that? Tie is right, isn’t she?”

Krazaru made a troubled expression while meeting Tie’s burdensome sparkling eyes.

Then after a long while,

“…I will follow Mother’s will.”

Finally sighing, he blew mist toward the baron with his fingertips.

Meanwhile, not far from the baron’s castle.

“Everyone evacuate! Clear the barracks!”

The square was in chaos with disaster victims packing their belongings and imperial troops setting up positions.

“Good heavens! What is this in broad daylight!”

“Monsters bursting out from underground, why is this disaster that we thought ended 12 years ago happening again…”

Tesetan looked toward the baron’s castle.

Through his keen senses, heavy vibrations were really approaching from far away.

“Damn, if I knew this would happen, I should have trained a bit more intensively!”

Veil wiped his forehead.

Basto also sighed.

“Right. It might have been better to bring Raul, Enzo, and Victor too.”

With the two men’s voices behind him, Tesetan unconsciously fingered the communication device inside his clothes.

‘No contact.’

A little while ago.

Since saying she would follow the monster toward the square, there had been no contact from Tie at all.

He couldn’t contact her first in case she was in an urgent situation.

‘With Krazaru and Marbas together, there shouldn’t be any particular problems…’

Still, getting anxious was unavoidable.

If Tie were to get hurt, he and Ardiana would regret sending Tie on this inspection for a very long time.

“Your Highness!”

Then, one of the imperial soldiers sent to the baron’s castle could be seen running from afar.

He ran straight to Tesetan and placed someone he had practically dragged along in front of him.

“This is Norbert Count’s Maid you mentioned!”

The elderly female maid who met Tesetan’s gaze flinched and trembled.

She briefly moved her lips, then hurriedly knelt before him.

“I-I greet His Highness the Prince Regent!”

Tesetan looked down at her for a moment then commanded.

“Stand up.”

Perhaps it was a more polite tone than expected, as the old woman’s back flinched.

However, Tesetan added calmly once more.

“Didn’t you hear me tell you to stand up. In this state, I can’t ask what I want to ask, can I.”

Only then did the old woman hurriedly get up from her spot.

Then she bowed her head before Tesetan, unable to raise it.

Tesetan asked.

“The monster created by Norbert Baron is heading toward this square. Do you know about it?”

The old woman’s body visibly stiffened.

Great fear filled her hesitant gaze.

“Is, is that really true?”

Tesetan nodded briefly.

“Yes. The Princess who went on an underground inspection reported as such. She said there might be something in the square that monsters would covet.”

The old woman’s complexion turned even whiter.

She trembled as she muttered ‘Her Highness the Princess is also here…’

After some time passed, tears welled up in her eyes.

“Your Highness the Prince Regent. Actually, there is one of the oldest giant trees in Norbert territory to the north of this square.”

Tesetan’s eyebrows twitched at the mention of a giant tree.

Veil and Basto also listened to the old woman’s words with serious expressions.

“The previous baron was a very devout person, so he erected a statue honoring a god in front of that giant tree.”

“By god, do you mean the World Tree?”

The old woman nodded while shedding tears.

“The fact that Your Highness is here now means you already know what our Baron has done before coming. There’s no point in lying now, so I’ll speak honestly.”

The elder prostrated himself on the ground once more.

“The Baron… sealed all the power he stole from ‘them’ in that statue.”

Tesetan’s face hardened.

“Sealed? What do you mean by that…”

“Exactly as I said. He condensed the power extracted with the help of mages, and I saw him take all of it to that statue!”

Silence fell with the elder’s sobbing as the final sound.

Basto and Veil’s gazes met.

Just as Tesetan was lost in thought with a hardened expression.

“Please spare him, Your Highness!”

Suddenly the elder grabbed Tesetan’s hem and struck his forehead against the ground.

“Please spare our Baron! *sob* He was never originally that kind of person! It’s just that his grief was too great, so great that his judgment was temporarily clouded! So please, *sob*… please!”

Tesetan’s eyes widened.

Just as he hesitated and reached out his hand toward the elder.

“It’s an earthquake!”

In the distance, from the north of the square the elder had mentioned, people’s cries began to be heard.

“Get away! The ground is shaking!”

Tesetan’s face hardened.

Their words were right.

The vibrations that had been felt from afar had somehow drawn close right before them.
