A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 401

“Huh…?”

Livia made a bewildered expression.

Regardless, Tie blushed bright red and patted Livia’s arm enthusiastically.

“Tie knew it! I knew Uncle would find the courage!”

Kyaa, Tie squealed and looked into Livia’s eyes with a bright smile.

“So now Aunt and Uncle are a couple? You’ll hold hands and kiss like Tie’s mom and dad?!”

Livia’s cheeks instantly heated up.

“N-no, that’s not it…!”

She rambled incoherently to the tilting Tie.

“I never even talked about that with that guy! What does he mean he’s been… anyway, for a long time!”

“Huh?”

“And then he says he’s going to some Magic Tower or whatever! Completely doing whatever he wants! But… wait a minute.”

Livia paused.

She looked at Tie who was hanging onto her arm.

“Miss, did you know that bastard Aleric liked me?”

Tie flinched.

The child’s eyes rolled around and her small mouth became serious.

“Oh no, it was supposed to be a secret….”

Tie trailed off while looking at Livia.

Then she shook her head and muttered to herself.

“No, but now that Aunt knows too, it’s okay!”

Tie raised her gaze.

Then she declared boldly.

“It wasn’t just Tie who knew, everyone knew except Aunt!”

The room became quiet.

Confusion spread across Livia’s face.

“No, how, why did everyone know except me…!”

“Well~”

Tie patted Livia’s arm.

Then she got down and put both hands on her hips.

“It’s because Uncle Aleric only gives Aunt special treatment.”

“Special treatment…?”

“Yeah! Tie found out when we were at Agabert. During the siege, we were camping for a whole week in the cold weather, and Uncle Aleric…!”

The child looked around and then said secretively.

“He lied to Uncle Victor saying we ran out of sleeping bags and gave Aunt two!”

A gasp escaped from Livia’s mouth.

“And also!”

But Tie still had a serious expression.

“When we came to Jedo, when Viscount Waverill gave us premium whiskey to share….”

“….”

“He told Uncle Victor we ran out and gave Aunt two bottles!”

While Livia held her forehead.

Tie’s chattering continued to echo throughout the room.

“Also on Tie’s birthday when we ate that huge cake, he gave Aunt the biggest piece. And when Aunt was sleeping, he brushed the dirt off her shoes….”

“S-stop!”

Livia shouted.

She held both palms out in the air and hung her head low.

“O-okay. I think I understand what you mean.”

Tie quickly closed her mouth.

Then she tilted her head and asked.

“But does Aunt dislike Uncle?”

Livia flinched.

“No, that’s not it….”

She awkwardly lowered her gaze.

“I don’t dislike him.”

A sigh finally escaped from her hesitant lips.

“That bastard Aleric is just a colleague. We’ve been through all sorts of things together since our Trevaga unit member days….”

Livia roughly tousled her hair.

“How could I have that kind of relationship with someone like that?! How could I possibly endure that awkwardness? Even if I agreed….”

“No, that’s wrong!”

But at that moment, Tie shouted firmly.

Then she approached Livia with a solemn expression.

“Aunt and Uncle won’t be awkward. Tie knows!”

Livia blinked.

“How would you know that, Miss?”

Tie answered nonchalantly.

“Well, because Aunt likes Uncle too!”

Livia’s mouth fell open.

She shot up from her seat.

“N-no, I don’t!”

Then she turned bright red and shouted.

“This happened because that bastard betrayed me on his own, I’ve never once imagined having that kind of relationship with him-“

“No, no.”

Tie shook her head and said again.

“Aunt likes Uncle too!”

The child sighed deeply and crossed her arms.

“Aunt. When Tie was in South Korea, I watched dramas every day. I watched ‘Unbelievable Stories’ and saw everything the preschool couple kids did.”

“…?”

“When a man says he likes someone, if the woman really dislikes him, she does this!”

Tie scrunched up her face.

She furrowed her eyebrows and pouted her lips, making a perfectly disgusted expression.

Finally, Livia, who had been staring blankly at that face, asked.

“What on earth is that…?”

“Huh?!”

Tie stamped her feet in frustration and looked around.

Then, as if she had a good idea, she quickly ran to the window and gestured for Livia to come over.

Following Tie, she could see Veil standing outside with Basto.

“Look?”

Tie opened the window with a creak.

Then she shouted with all her might.

“Big brother Veil!”

Veil immediately looked up.

He spotted Tie and slowly waved one hand.

“What is it, Child. Already finished talking with Livia? What are you doing up there so dangerously?”

“You know!”

Tie continued cheerfully.

“When Tie was napping earlier, in my dream! I went to the restroom and there was poop as big as an elephant! Amazing, right?!”

Unlike Basto who was laughing beside him, Veil’s face immediately crumpled.

“Hey, Child! If you go around saying things like that, you’ll disgrace the Talochium Dynasty…!”

Before he could even finish hearing those words, Tie whirled around.

Then she looked at Livia and said.

“You saw that, right?! He’s making that kind of expression!”

Only then did Livia hesitate.

She looked at Veil, who was still shouting something loudly.

‘…Well, I suppose.’

If it had been someone other than Aleric who made that ridiculous confession to her.

She probably would have made the same face as Veil.

‘How should I put it, too bothersome to even say no…’

She would have worn a confused and troubled expression, wondering what she had just heard.

“But Aunt!”

At that moment, Tie spoke.

The child quickly turned a small mirror that had been on the windowsill.

The mirror reflected Livia.

Livia closed her mouth.

In it was herself with both cheeks flushed red, wearing a tense expression.

Tie laughed mischievously.

“Tie is right, isn’t she? Right?”

The child added to Livia, who couldn’t say anything.

“Aunt. Tie doesn’t think Uncle will go to the Magic Tower.”

Livia, who had been frozen, hesitantly looked at Tie.

“How do you know that…?”

Tie shrugged her shoulders.

“I don’t know! I just don’t think he’ll go!”

Then she waved her hand at Veil who was calling for her from outside the window, walked toward the door and added.

“Since he has to live in Jedo with Aunt, I don’t think he’ll go!”

Thud-

The door closed behind Tie as she left.

Livia stared at the closed door, then groaned and plopped down on the bed.

The next day.

Cain opened his eyes to the sound of someone knocking on the door.

He immediately felt the warm sunlight settling on his face.

Since the accident, he hadn’t been able to sleep a wink each night due to pain, so Cain unconsciously took a deep breath.

“Young master.”

Someone entered through the open door.

It was Lil.

“You seemed to be sleeping deeply for once, so I didn’t want to wake you, but…”

For some reason, Lil added while looking back behind her.

“Princess has come. She says she would like to see you, master.”

Cain’s mouth fell open.

The Princess—that was the child who had healed him in the square.

The holy power that flowed from her small hands was so delicate that even though only a day had passed, his body felt lighter.

“Please bring her in.”

When he spoke in a hoarse voice, Lil withdrew.

And someone entered the room.

“Hello!”

Tie, who had changed into clean clothes while preparing to return that morning, smiled brightly.

The child walked over quickly and firmly grasped Cain’s hand.

Then pure holy power glowed and flowed into Cain’s body.

Cain looked at Tie’s face visible beyond the light.

“I came to say goodbye. We’ll see each other again soon anyway, but how’s your body feeling?”
