A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 391

Tie blinked her eyes.

“Isn’t that right. Everything about the battle with the Red Pope 12 years ago has been kept secret.”

The butler said.

“The mercenaries who participated in that battle also suddenly disappeared without a trace at some point.”

Basto and Veil exchanged glances with each other.

“Later, people came forward one after another asking to know their names and faces, but there was no way.”

“….”

“Starting with the Mercenary Association, didn’t they flatly refuse the request, saying they couldn’t disclose information about Agabert. The Luminen family, who were said to have participated in the battle, were equally silent.”

Silence fell among the unit members.

Meanwhile, Tie unconsciously opened her mouth and looked down at the ground.

‘Tie didn’t know… such a thing happened!’

When her memories returned, 12 years had already passed.

Perhaps the story of that day’s battle might touch Tie’s painful spots.

The unit members seemed to deliberately avoid bringing up the story of that day.

Of course, Tie also sometimes became curious about how everyone had been doing after the battle ended.

But whenever that happened, Tesetan always said the same thing.

‘We all agreed to keep it secret.’

‘Huh?’

‘We couldn’t reveal the names or faces of those who participated in that battle. So people could only know the general situation. That Agabert, the Imperial family, and the Luminen family joined forces to stop Luciano.’

At first, she felt somewhat disappointed.

‘Everyone worked so hard.’

When everyone’s achievements should have been widely known and praised by people, everything was kept secret.

But Tie could soon understand.

[Astie.

The weather here has been quite chilly lately. When I asked Basto, he said it’s cold in the mornings and evenings there too.

Don’t kick off your blankets, and don’t be a picky eater – that’s how you avoid minor illnesses.

Think of this old man who would lose sleep from worry if you got sick.

Looking forward to seeing you when the weather gets warm again, from Nordics who misses his beloved grandchild so much.]

That battle involved far too many complicated matters.

Herself, a princess who had crossed time, and Nordics who had become the new Pope.

And even the spirits who had never revealed their identities to anyone except Tie and the unit members.

‘Complex stories are just easy to get distorted. You might end up in an uncomfortable situation if you step forward carelessly.’

‘Oh, that’s right.’

In South Korea, 107 Grandmother and 203 Aunt used to say such things too.

People are basically very curious, so when they hear complicated circumstances, they try to dig deeper and find out more.

Then unnecessary details get added in the middle, and suddenly people start arguing about who did well and who did wrong…

‘It could become a complete mess.’

Actually, Tie thought so too.

What would happen if it was revealed that Nordics, who is now the Pope, was once Luciano’s subordinate?

The Central Continent, which had barely regained stability, would be greatly shaken once again.

‘When Nordics Grandfather became Pope, they said there was already strong opposition.’

What if someone tried to use that as an excuse to push out Nordics Grandfather and seize control of the religious order?

That wasn’t all.

‘Agabert can’t be exposed either.’

Of course, Agabert was already a widely known mercenary group.

Although details like the unit members’ faces and names hadn’t spread, everyone knew the name of the ‘Commander King’ who led the mercenary group.

But that made it even more problematic.

‘To explain the situation, the Commander King’s identity – that Tie is the Commander King – would all have to be revealed.’

It would be difficult to confess and explain Tie’s entire life story starting from Jongno-gu to people.

Now that Tie had become a princess, it was even more so.

“Right. Nothing about that day’s battle is known.”

Just then, Veil spoke.

Tie unconsciously turned her gaze in that direction.

“But such rumors were going around? People say that? That some human sacrificed themselves to kill Luciano?”

Tie felt Veil glance at her at the end of his words.

Of course, she knew the reason too.

‘Because that’s a rumor about Tie!’

The source of the rumor the butler mentioned was Tie.

That day, Tie had taken all the corrupted Croah that Luciano was trying to take into her own body.

Because that was the only way to stop Luciano.

‘And then I was in a lot of pain…’

The child gulped.

The chills and pain she had felt throughout her body were still vivid.

Her body becoming strange, losing consciousness and going to the Underworld – everything was as clear as if it happened yesterday.

Then the butler answered.

“Yes. I don’t know if it’s a rumor only in the north, or if it spread to other places too, but there were two theories going around about that mortal who sacrificed themselves.”

Everyone focused on the butler’s words.

“The first was that it must have been the ‘Commander King’ that everyone knows about. And the second…”

The butler’s eyes gleamed sharply.

“There was also talk that it was a child from another world.”

Basto let out a hollow laugh.

Veil crossed her legs with strange tension.

Meanwhile, Tie bowed her head deeply to hide her violently shaking pupils.

‘Gasp, so perceptive…!’

Not for any other reason, but because the rumor that had circulated in the north was so accurate!

Tie’s mind raced.

‘How did they find out?’

The battlefield of that day’s fight with Luciano wasn’t enormously large.

Nevertheless, a large number of unnamed imperial soldiers and mercenaries had participated, so could it be information that leaked from there?

“One thing that’s certain is that person had holy power.”

Then the butler continued speaking.

“I heard they saved people. Even fatal injuries could be healed instantly with that person’s holy power.”

The surroundings became quiet again.

Livia, the very person who had died and come back to life, coughed quietly.

Tie hesitantly raised her head.

The butler who had stopped speaking quietly grasped the hem of her own clothes.

“Perhaps… that might be why.”

She raised her head and pointed to the statue standing among the mages.

“Our master, that is, why Baron Norbert sealed the core in that statue.”

The butler looked around at the unit members.

“A moment ago, you asked why the statue has no face, didn’t you? That’s because that statue was modeled after that ‘mortal’ I mentioned.”

“….”

“My master believed that mortal to be a god. He said the World Tree, who neglected the rotting world, could never be a god. If there was a god, it would rather be that mortal who burned his own body to stop Luciano.”

Tears welled up in the butler’s eyes.

“Of course, that mortal has now vanished without a trace. All that remains are legends. But still, but still…”

“…”

“He believed that if he prayed to that being, if he offered Croa that the being had once wielded and earnestly pleaded, a miracle would happen.”

Veil frowned.

Basto and Tesetan wore expressions of doubt.

Behind Livia, who looked confused about what was going on, only Tie stared at the butler with wide eyes.

‘He prayed? The baron? To Tie’s statue?’

She suddenly remembered 107 Grandmother, who would occasionally visit the temple.

When asked why she went to the temple, Grandmother would answer.

‘To pray…’

For Tie to be free from pain.

For Chae Boksoo Grandmother and all the beloved neighbors to stay healthy.

Tie, who had been hesitating, looked up at the butler hesitantly.

“What did the yellow belt baron pray for?”

The butler looked at Tie with a start.

Tie asked once more, this time with a much clearer voice.

“Why did the yellow belt baron pray? To that statue?”

The question that had been troubling Tie all along was finally being resolved.

The reason Baron Norbert neglected his ruined domain while hiring mages and mercenaries.

The reason he used them to capture spirits who had been living peacefully and exploit their Croa.

The reason he made that into a core and ultimately revived the vanished monsters.

“That is…”

The butler opened his trembling lips.

At the same time, a loud shout erupted from the mages’ direction.

“We succeeded! We’ve broken the barrier, the seal has been released!”
