A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 407
“Is something wrong?”
Lucalion approached and examined Tie’s face.
Tie opened her mouth with a bewildered expression.
“Ka, Kamang. When did you arrive? I didn’t hear you were coming…”
Lucalion reached out and straightened Tie’s pajama top that had gotten tucked into her pants as he answered.
“Early this morning. The weather’s been bad for days, so the ships weren’t sailing.”
Tie, who had been nodding unconsciously, stopped short.
Then she asked in a surprised voice.
“Huh? You came by ship? You didn’t fly here?”
Lucalion, who had been fixing her disheveled appearance and even adjusting her carelessly worn socks to align with the seams, paused.
“Uh, well… it just happened that way.”
“Huh?”
“More importantly, were you heading somewhere?”
Tie stared blankly at Lucalion’s back as he walked past her.
“Oh, haven’t you had breakfast yet? But why are you alone? Where are Krazaru and Marbas doing what?”
“Marul and Ppupppu are…”
Tie recalled the two who had been fast asleep when she left the bedroom.
“They’re probably still sleeping?”
“Really?”
Lucalion answered as if it was nothing and started walking.
Tie followed him a step behind, tilting her head in confusion.
When they arrived at the courtyard, the morning sunlight was decorating the floor.
Marshal, who had been setting plates and utensils on the table, came running over with a bright smile.
“Oh my! Our Princess! Why did you wake up so early?”
“Um, well…”
“Oh dear, you haven’t even wiped the sleep from your eyes. Come here.”
Tie scrunched up her face at the warm hands cleaning her face.
But then it happened.
“Oh my?”
For some reason, Marshal paused.
Marshal was looking at Lucalion, who had entered the courtyard.
“Lucalion is here too!”
“It’s been a while, Marshal.”
Lucalion answered and looked around.
Then he naturally sat across from Tie’s seat.
“Can I eat with you?”
Marshal, who had stood up, widened her eyes.
Lucalion scratched his cheek.
“Is it too much to ask? If there’s not enough food prepared…”
“Oh, no! Not enough? Hardly!”
Marshal quickly checked that Tie’s face was clean and picked up the child.
Then she seated Tie across from Lucalion and answered brightly.
“I can prepare breakfast anytime! I just never knew that Lucalion ate meals until today… Here!”
Tie watched Marshal calling for a servant, then shifted her gaze.
Lucalion was examining the utensils on the table.
“…Hmm, interesting pattern.”
Lucalion muttered.
Tie unconsciously tilted her head again.
‘This is the first time I’ve seen Kamang eat breakfast.’
From when he was active as Agavert until now.
Lucalion had never once shared a meal with Tie or other humans.
‘Or maybe he did and Tie just didn’t see it?’
It wasn’t that Lucalion couldn’t eat human food at all.
In fact, when Tie often shared snacks with him, he would pretend to be defeated and eat them.
But this was the first time he had offered to share a meal like today.
Tie asked cautiously as she pondered.
“Kamang. You’re okay, right?”
“Huh?”
“You’re not sick or anything, are you?”
Lucalion looked puzzled as he answered.
“Yeah. Nothing hurts. I’m just hungry.”
“You’re hungry?”
“Yeah.”
Tie’s face became serious.
The child fidgeted with her fingers under the table and asked.
“Do spirits get hungry too?”
Tie could see Lucalion pause.
After keeping his mouth shut for a moment, he answered while avoiding Tie’s gaze.
“Well, right now I do.”
“Right now?”
“Here’s some warm pumpkin soup.”
Just then Marshal approached.
In her hands were two bowls of fragrant pumpkin soup.
“There are still plenty of pumpkins left that the Princess brought back from the North last time. His Majesty reminded us several times. Since it’s a gift given with sincerity, don’t waste any of it and cook it before it spoils.”
Tie nodded.
Then, before eating, she picked up her spoon and stirred the pretty-colored soup first.
“Not bad.”
Then she heard a voice from across the table.
When she looked up, she saw Lucalion had already emptied half his bowl.
“Huh? Kamang…?”
Tie opened her mouth in surprise.
But Lucalion had lifted the bowl and started drinking the food.
“No, let me correct that. It’s not just not bad, it’s delicious. It goes down so smoothly. It’s different from the foods I’ve eaten before.”
“Of course! It was made by the Head Chef who’s said to be the most skilled in the Empire. Don’t do that, Lucalion, there are more dishes coming, so please eat slowly. Here, try sprinkling some of these nuts on it too.”
“How much? Is this right?”
“Oh no, if you pour the whole container…!”
Tie’s mouth fell open.
Before her eyes was a scene of complete chaos.
‘You spilled so much, Lucalion…’
Though he seemed unaware, Lucalion had orange soup smeared all over from his nose tip to around his mouth.
He had even spilled on the table while eating, creating more than one or two concerning issues.
Tie squeezed her eyes shut and shook her head by herself.
‘No. That can happen! This is Lucalion’s first time eating breakfast.’
She remembered Father saying that she too had spilled a lot when eating at one or two years old.
Tie tried hard not to look at Lucalion as she picked up her spoon.
Meanwhile, the back-and-forth between Marshal and Lucalion continued.
“Then this much? Is this amount okay?”
“No! No! That’s too much, Lucalion!”
Tie put a spoonful of soup in her mouth with a troubled expression.
After the meal was finished.
“…I’m full.”
As soon as they came out to the garden, Lucalion muttered.
Tie looked at Lucalion with a complicated expression.
Regardless of that.
Lucalion was patting his bulging stomach as if it were fascinating.
“It definitely doesn’t feel good. So this is what eating a lot is like. Now I understand why Veil always said he felt like his stomach would burst after meals.”
Finally, Tie carefully tapped Lucalion’s shoulder.
Lucalion turned his head.
‘Is this fortunate…?’
Lucalion’s face, which had been covered in soup, was now clean.
This was because Marshal had wiped Lucalion’s face with a wet cloth just like she did for Tie.
Tie asked hesitantly.
“Lucalion, why did you suddenly want to experience eating breakfast…?”
Lucalion’s eyes widened.
Tie met his gaze with a curious expression.
“You don’t usually eat human food. Before, you clearly said that spirits can’t feel hunger…”
A slightly flustered look appeared in Lucalion’s red eyes.
He rolled his eyes around and answered.
“Just, well. I suddenly became curious about it.”
“Suddenly?”
“Yeah. Why? Is that so strange?”
Tie scratched her head.
“No, it’s not strange, but…”
“More importantly, Tie. Did you plant new flowers by the pond while I wasn’t looking?”
Lucalion turned around.
Then he started walking away as if avoiding conversation with Tie.
Tie hurriedly followed behind him.
“Yes! But…!”
She recalled what had happened recently while renovating the pond.
It was something that occurred when they started releasing and raising fish in the pond.
The workers had dug up the surrounding ground to expand the pond’s area,
‘Princess. We plan to do reconstruction soon, but you must be careful. If you look closely, there are some level differences…’
As Sabert had said, some areas around the pond were still not properly leveled.
The problem was that this wasn’t visible because of the grass and flowers.
“Kamang! If you’re not careful there…!”
“Huh?”
However, Tie didn’t have time to finish her warning.
Lucalion fell flat on the ground like a paper doll.
Tie’s mouth fell wide open.
‘Lucalion… fell down.’
And that wasn’t even the end of it.
Lucalion’s knee was red as he got up with creaking sounds.
Soon, tiny drops of blood began to form on his tender skin.
