A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 403

Tie unconsciously shrank her shoulders slightly.

‘This can’t be happening…’

Cain had seen right through Tie completely!

‘He figured out that Tie is the Commander King.’

Even though he said he collected various information because he liked mercenaries, he had incredible insight for a child.

Tie, who had been restless, looked at Cain with an awkward expression.

“Cain, that thing is, you know…”

“Don’t worry. I haven’t told anyone.”

Cain smiled as he spoke.

“Of course, I have no intention of telling anyone in the future either.”

Tie’s eyes widened.

“The Commander King is already a hero of the world. It’s not a past that needs to be hidden or a shameful past. But despite that, you’ve kept everything secret…”

Cain looked at Tie.

“It must be because there are many things related to that fact that are difficult to explain, right?”

Tie gulped.

‘Cain is really smart.’

Cain’s words were correct.

There was only one reason why Tie hid her past as the Commander King.

Now that she had become a Princess.

It was because it would be difficult to explain to the public the timeline that had gone awry in the past and other incidents.

‘Since it’s imperial business, Sabert Grandfather also said there’s nothing good about spreading it around.’

As if reading Tie’s mind, Cain added.

“I don’t know what the circumstances are, but the fewer rumors that follow royalty, the better…”

Cain looked at Tie again.

“You don’t need to worry about my discretion. How could I dare go around talking about the Princess? My life already depends on the Princess.”

Seeing Cain laugh lightheartedly, Tie also hesitantly relaxed.

‘Cain is right.’

Right now, the Imperial family and Tie held many things from Norbert territory.

Tie nodded.

“Yeah. I trust Cain!”

Then she added.

“Not because Cain and Cain’s father’s lives depend on Tie, but because I know Cain is a smart and kind child.”

Cain paused.

Tie added in a somewhat emotional voice.

“Also, having someone remember the mercenaries who are gradually being forgotten… that’s something I’m grateful for too.”

Now that the monsters had disappeared, the world was peaceful.

Naturally, the mercenaries who had roamed the chaotic world were also disappearing one by one.

It would have been fine if that was all.

The problem was that people were gradually forgetting about mercenaries.

“For the Paladins who were active back then, memorial parks were built, and since they’re nobles, their names appear in newsletters too.”

Mercenaries didn’t have that.

No matter how much Ardiana tried to treat mercenaries well, there were limits to finding those who had scattered.

Moreover, those who had no desire for fame or wealth sometimes deliberately hid even deeper.

“Do you have information about other mercenary groups too?”

At Tie’s question, Cain, who had been dazed, smiled.

“Yes. Most of the things on the bookshelf are all about mercenaries.”

Tie made a “wow” sound and looked through other notebooks, papers, and books.

Indeed, Cain’s bookshelf contained the names and information of mercenaries that Tie didn’t know about.

“Could I show this to my mother later?”

After looking around for a while and asking, Cain looked surprised.

“Mother wants to give compensation to mercenaries who died in battle or went into hiding too. Even if it’s late…”

Seeing Tie trail off, Cain answered.

“Of course!”

Then he spoke with a face full of tension.

“If you did that, it would be an honor for me instead.”

Tie’s eyes widened and then she smiled brightly.

“Thank you!”

Cain also smiled looking at Tie like that.

When Tie had put the materials back in their original places, Cain asked.

“But wasn’t there one more person among your aides?”

Tie turned from the bookshelf.

“I heard the Waverill princes are busy receiving successor education, and it’s natural that the elderly priest isn’t on the continent since he went to the religious order.”

Cain made a puzzled expression.

“Victor. Victor, who stood at the front lines of Agabert when it merged with Trevaga, doesn’t seem to be visible.”

Only then did Tie make an “ah” sound and run to Cain’s side.

Then she answered.

“Well, Uncle Victor is busy.”

Cain’s eyes widened.

“A baby was born a few weeks ago, and babies need to be looked after day and night.”

“Ah…”

Cain finally made an expression as if his question had been resolved.

Tie faced Cain like that and giggled.

That afternoon.

Clatter- Clatter-

The carriage that left the baron’s castle rattled along the path.

“Hey, Child. What did you talk about with that kid that made you so happy?”

At Veil’s question, Tie, who had been looking outside the window, turned her head.

The child made a proud expression.

“That’s a secret.”

Veil frowned.

“What? A secret?”

Then he made a “huh” sound and lifted his chin with one hand.

“This Child has been trying to hide this and that a lot lately?”

However, Tie didn’t blink and instead made a triumphant expression.

“Veil.”

“Huh?”

“I’m Astie!”

“…What?”

To Veil, who had a bewildered face, Tie solemnly raised her eyebrows.

“I’m a child who was once the Commander King. Now I’m a Princess! Number one in power among the Empire’s children!”

Basto burst into laughter.

A smile also spread across Tesetan’s lips as he sat across from Tie reading a book.

Tie continued speaking.

“So don’t you dare try to know too much about Tie. You might get hurt.”

Veil’s mouth fell open.

“Tie is such an amazing hero. People still remember Tie even now. Didn’t you see the Tie statue that the territory people erected?”

“…”

“Also, there are people who collect Tie information like Grassleaf Wiki…”

Veil stared at Tie, who was chattering away, speechless for a while.

Regardless.

Tie, who had been going on and on with her long self-praise, finally let out a big breath with a “Whew!”

The child puffed out her chest and said.

“Tie feels completely refreshed!”

“What?”

“I didn’t want to show off, so I secretly hid a quiz paper I got a hundred on…”

The child smiled brightly.

“It feels like getting caught and receiving tons of praise for it!”

The child turned her head back toward the window and began humming a tune.

Veil looked at Basto with bewilderment.

“What on earth is she talking about?”

“I don’t know either. But if Tie’s in a good mood, that’s what matters.”

Meanwhile, Tesetan briefly looked up from his book to gaze at Tie.

Soon a brief smile spread across his lips.

He turned his eyes to the marquis castle receding beyond the carriage window.

Then he quietly murmured.

“…You’ve raised a fine successor, Marquis of Norbert.”

One week later.

“Motherrrr!”

“Tie!”

Tie ran straight toward Ardiana, who stood in the Princess Palace Garden with both arms spread wide.

“My daughter, you’ve been through so much. Were you scared? Mother wanted to come see you but couldn’t…”

Tie wore a happy expression as she was embraced in Ardiana’s arms.

The familiar touch and warmth made her feel like all the tension in her body was melting away.

Ardiana lifted Tie up and asked.

“But what’s this hairpin I haven’t seen before?”

She gazed at the carriage beyond the group.

“Your luggage seems to have increased since you left too…”

“Tie received gifts!”

Ardiana’s eyes widened.

“Gifts?”

“Mm-hmm. When we went to Yellow Belt Marquis Castle, we stopped at an inn, and Tie helped find the uncle there!”

The child waved her arms energetically, pointing to the pumpkins loaded in the carriage’s cargo hold.

“The innkeeper lady gave us pumpkins she grew herself! She picked only the really big ones!”

“Ah, pumpkins…”

“She said if we take them, we can make pumpkin stew and eat the seeds too…”

While Tie continued talking.

Ardiana and Tesetan’s gazes met.

Tesetan kissed Ardiana’s hand and said quietly.

“She thinks Tie’s mother is Livia.”

“Ah.”

Only then did Ardiana let out a small sigh.

Then she stroked Tie’s head as if she couldn’t help but find her endearing as she continued chattering, but paused.

“Come to think of it, where’s Livia?”

She looked around and tilted her head.

“I don’t see Aleric either.”
