A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 399

That evening.

“Ahh…!”

Tie, lying on the soft bed, stretched out fully.

The long journey was finally racing toward its conclusion.

‘The Pompoms have been freed, and they said Cain’s physical condition seems to have improved, and another good thing is…’

Tie spread both hands out in the air and giggled to herself.

“Tie’s power has returned!”

When she concentrated, she could hear the voices of the Underworld again.

She could summon her bone friends, and she could feel where the spirits wandering nearby were gathered.

‘Tie has become a powerful Commander King again!’

However, the child soon wore a solemn expression.

In fact, this matter wasn’t entirely simple.

Starting tomorrow, nobles who heard the rumors might visit the Imperial Palace.

And then they would ask Ardiana like this.

“Your Majesty, is it true that the Princess handles dark attribute magic?!”

Tie made a groaning sound and rolled over.

‘Don’t worry about it.’

‘Huh?’

On the way to the Marquis Castle.

She recalled what Tesetan had said while stroking Tie’s head.

‘Your power returning is an incredibly good thing. So our daughter should just be happy.’

‘But Tie is a Princess. If it’s revealed that the Princess has this kind of power, the nobles will…’

‘Now, now, Mother and Father will think about such complicated things, okay?’

Tie nodded her head.

‘Right. There’s nothing Tie can do about it anyway!’

Tie just needed to eat well, sleep well, and play well like she was doing now.

Everyone in the Imperial Palace, including Mother and Father, told her that whenever they saw Tie.

“Tie really did so well…”

Tie giggled once more and buried her face in the blanket.

It was a bed that Lil had hastily prepared for Tie and her party to stay the night.

‘When I wake up, I should go see Cain!’

Tie slowly closed her eyes.

Cain, who had been pale as a sheet even when they were in the square, was in much better condition after accepting Tie’s holy power.

The doctor who examined Cain at the castle exclaimed ‘Th-this is a miracle!’ and rattled off many difficult explanations.

‘I’ll treat him before leaving the North, and even after going to the Imperial Palace, I’ll frequently call Cain to treat him…’

Drowsiness washed over her.

In the distance, she seemed to see Cain walking toward Tie with a bright face.

‘Tie, thank you so much!’

Tie’s eyelashes fluttered.

Tie blushed her drowsy cheeks and mumbled.

“Hehe, it was nothing much…”

Meanwhile.

At the entrance to the square where the cleanup of collapsed debris and obstacles was nearing completion.

“…I see. So that’s why you went along with what the child wanted.”

Veil scratched the back of his neck.

His gaze was directed toward Tesetan, who was leaning against a tree across from him.

“That’s right.”

Basto, who was standing beside him, also nodded.

They had just heard the future plans from Tesetan.

Of course, even after hearing all the plans, there were still some who were confused.

“Hey, Aleric. What does that mean? The domain, the North, what?”

Aleric let out a small laugh.

Then he opened his mouth with a calm expression.

“It’s not complicated. There were more political reasons for not killing Norbert Baron.”

“Political reasons…?”

“Look over there.”

He gestured with his chin toward the area beyond the square.

Among the debris, several villagers were still moving about busily.

“What this land needs most right now isn’t execution, but stability. If we kill the lord, the domain would immediately be thrown into chaos. Even if we install Cain as the new lord.”

Tesetan nodded.

“Aleric is right. Cain is still young, and the domain is a mess from the disaster. If we execute Heinz in that situation, the Marquis Domain will only fall into chaos.”

“I think it’s not bad.”

Veil chimed in.

“It’s the land he ruined, so he should fix it himself. Also, that bastard Heinz probably doesn’t feel very comfortable either, right? He can’t run away from here, and he can’t die either.”

“…”

“He’ll have to endure all the stares and harsh words while watching with his own eyes until the domain stabilizes.”

When Livia opened her mouth as if she understood, Aleric smiled and added.

“There are other advantages too.”

He gathered magic at his fingertips.

Then he approached Livia and created a map of the continent in the air.

He didn’t notice that Livia flinched at the suddenly shortened distance.

“The North is a distant land. Even in the previous generation, it was difficult to manage and supervise.”

Aleric gestured toward the upper part of the map.

At the edge of the continent, a region surrounded by rugged mountain ranges and forests was visible.

“The roads are rough, and the distance to the domains is far. Even when administrators dispatched from the center came, they couldn’t last long.”

Livia looked up at Aleric with slightly reddened ear tips.

“So, so they just left it alone?”

“They didn’t leave it alone.”

Aleric’s expression became serious.

He continued speaking while focusing on the map.

“They simply didn’t extend their reach. The North has always been a self-reliant land.”

He slowly traced the northern part of the map with his fingertip.

“The bonds between the native nobles here are strong, and they don’t welcome outside interference. If you force your way in, it only increases the backlash.”

“Right. So the Imperial Palace has been keeping an appropriate distance until now.”

Basto added.

Aleric continued speaking to Livia, who was nodding blankly.

“But this incident has changed the situation.”

He tapped the Nordbelt Barony on the map.

“The Marquis Domain will now come under Imperial Palace supervision. There’s sufficient justification given the connection between Cain and Princess, and also…”

Aleric smiled as if he found it interesting even thinking about it again.

“By keeping Heinz alive, the Imperial Palace has firmly established a debt of gratitude with Cain, who will become the next lord.”

Livia’s eyes widened.

“Then they’ll be able to install that transportation stronghold or whatever too?”

“We don’t know yet. But if it’s discussed in the future, there’s a high probability of a positive outcome.”

Livia gulped.

Then, Veil laughed.

“Did the child know all of this?”

Everyone looked at Veil.

“Right? In the end, the Imperial Palace showed a very small mercy and gained enormous benefits.”

A smile spread across Tesetan’s expressionless face.

“No, he probably didn’t think that far ahead. But.”

He gazed at the Marquis Castle visible not far away.

“If it weren’t for Tie, this decision wouldn’t have come about. She would have been excluded from consideration from the start.”

Veil shrugged his shoulders.

Tesetan straightened his body that had been leaning against the tree.

“I really can’t do this anymore.”

Then he walked away with a serious expression.

“I miss her so much I can’t stand it. Maybe it’s because we’ve been apart for so long…”

Watching his figure quickly disappearing, Veil snorted.

“Long? What do you mean long? It’s only been a few weeks…”

“Veil, watch your words. That’s His Highness the Duke.”

Veil, who had been frowning at Basto’s words, clicked his tongue.

Then he subtly turned his body and started walking in the direction Tesetan had gone.

“…Anyway, then I’ll go see the child too.”

Livia’s eyes widened.

In that moment, Basto also stepped forward as if he had been waiting.

“I’d like to rest soon too. Moving around busily after so long has made me tired.”

The two men quickly disappeared into the distance.

Livia suddenly came to her senses.

She hurriedly grabbed the cloak hanging on the Tree Branch and shouted.

“What’s this? Where does everyone rush off together like this? I’m coming too…!”

But at that moment.

Something firmly grabbed Livia’s wrist.

Startled, she turned her head to see right behind her.

Aleric stood quietly, looking down at her.

“Livia.”

Aleric spoke to the frozen woman.

“Let’s have a little talk, shall we.”
