A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 409

“We weren’t suited for each other from the beginning anyway.”

Lucalion’s voice was very cold and detached.

“Continuing like this any longer is just a waste of time. There are such things as ranks.”

“Ha, what? Ranks?”

“Yes. Ranks.”

Lucalion curtly answered Tesetan’s words and continued.

“We were in a relationship of different ranks from the start. The fact that we had to continue until now was because there were unavoidable circumstances.”

“….”

“Anyway. I’ve said what I needed to say.”

A clattering sound came from inside.

It was the sound of a chair in the reception room being dragged across the floor.

Tie, who had been frozen with her ear pressed to the door, was startled and looked back at the guard knights.

Then she hurriedly went behind them and hid behind the nearest pillar in the corridor.

She knew she would be caught anyway, but perhaps because she had been secretly eavesdropping, her body moved on its own.

As expected, the door opened and Lucalion emerged from inside.

He walked away with heavy steps without giving the knights even a glance.

What was strange was that he didn’t seem to notice Tie behind the pillar at all.

Tie peeked her head out from beside the pillar and gulped.

‘Kamang, no, Lucalion….’

Lucalion used to find Tie like a ghost no matter where she was.

When asked how he found Tie so well, Lucalion would answer, ‘All my attention is focused on you, so how could I not find you?’

But that same Lucalion,

‘Didn’t recognize Tie…!’

Even though she couldn’t hide her magic power because the situation was urgent!

“This can’t be happening….”

Tie only came out from behind the pillar after Lucalion’s figure had completely disappeared.

Then she muttered with a dazed expression.

“Kamang, Kamang doesn’t know Tie….”

‘Staying by Tie’s side like this isn’t actually good for her.’

‘We weren’t suited for each other from the beginning anyway.’

‘There are such things as ranks.’

“…He’s leaving?”

The conversation she happened to overhear.

And Lucalion not noticing Tie’s presence.

All of it led to one conclusion in Tie’s mind.

No matter how much she tried to think differently, that was the only possibility!

“Your Highness the Princess…?”

“Are you not going to have an audience with His Highness the Duke?”

The knights asked from behind, but Tie couldn’t answer.

“Kamang… how could he not know Tie….”

Tie just kept muttering those same words over and over.

Standing there blankly, for quite a long time.

“Master! How was it, did you hear any useful advice?!”

As soon as she returned to her room, Tie was greeted by the two spirits as usual.

“How much did your father know about surveillance? Didn’t he tell you to go undercover? Did he recommend any useful equipment….”

“….”

Ppupppu blocked Marbas’s mouth as he poured out questions frantically.

Only then did Marbas widen his eyes and close his mouth.

“No, Master.”

Tie’s expression, who had left excitedly, was somehow not good.

Drooping eyebrows.

Eyes brimming with tears.

A sadly protruding mouth and pitiful shoulders.

“What on earth happened? You left so excitedly just a while ago….”

“Huu, huuung… shouldn’t have regained my power….”

That was the moment Tie started crying.

The child sat down on the floor as if she had lost everything in the world and curled up into a ball.

Then she clenched her fists and began sobbing pitifully.

“Because Tie regained her power, Lucalion is going to leave, he’s going to leave this place…!”

“No, Master!”

Panicked Marbas hurriedly supported Tie.

Ppupppu also ran to Tie’s front with a surprised face.

“What do you mean?! That Lord Lucalion will leave because you regained your abilities!”

Tie raised her head.

Then she spoke with both cheeks wet with tears.

“I went to see Father, huu, and….”

“….”

“I overheard that Lucalion is going to leave Tie now….”

With each word she spoke, pearl-like tears dripped onto the floor.

“From the beginning, Tie’s rank, hic, doesn’t match….”

The child buried her face in her hands.

“Huung, it makes sense. Tie is a human who can only live until 100, but Lucalion is a legendary-grade spirit….”

Marbas and Ppupppu’s gazes met in the air.

The two couldn’t quite understand Tie’s words.

“No, even so, why would Lord Lucalion say such things.”

“Kyuut! Kyuuut…! Kyu…!”

“No, I didn’t mishear. Tie heard it clearly with her own ears….”

Tie answered Ppupppu’s urging about whether she heard correctly.

The child looked at the distant mountains outside the window with pitiful eyes.

“Father told him not to leave, but Lucalion asked if he wasn’t considering his position….”

The room became quiet.

Only occasional hiccups flowed from Tie’s mouth now.

“He gave up everything for Tie until now, but now, hic. If I don’t grant his request to leave, hic… that would be bad….”

“How could Lord Lucalion say such things!”

“It will be difficult at first… but Tie will adapt someday too, hic.”

It wasn’t certain if Lucalion had said exactly that.

However, during the return to the Princess’s Palace, Tie’s memory had been reassembled based on the new information.

Tie hugged her knees.

“…Even if I try to stop him, he’ll still go, right?”

“Ma, Master.”

“Even if I beg him not to go, he’ll still leave.”

Her green eyes brimmed with tears once again.

“Tie lives until 100 and dies, and that’s the end… but Lucalion has eternal time after that….”

“….”

“Being in Talochium really is a waste of time….”

Lucalion no longer needed to rely on Tie’s Croah.

‘Actually, that’s been true for a very, very long time.’

It was thanks to Luciano’s death returning all of Lucalion’s original Croah that had been stolen.

On top of that, by completely regaining his memories, Lucalion had already become an independent spirit long ago.

So the reason he had been lingering around Tie all this time was because of past memories.

Or it was highly likely due to old affection.

“I should have realized it from when he went to the Central Continent and didn’t come back for so long….”

Tie’s shoulders trembled slightly.

After her memories returned, Tie hadn’t been able to spend much time with Lucalion.

For some reason, Lucalion had been incredibly busy without a moment to spare.

He would suddenly leave saying he was going to investigate something, then not return for weeks.

Or he would go off to the Central Continent without even saying a word.

“It was because his feelings for Tie had cooled….”

Tie pounded the floor with her fists.

“How can a spirit change…! How can friendship change like this….”

Waah, huuuuh.

Tie’s crying sounds continued to echo throughout the room.

Marbas and Ppupppu exchanged troubled glances with each other.

“Oh my, so it was because of Lord Lucalion? That’s strange, they’re people who rarely quarrel….”

Marshal murmured as she covered the sleeping Tie with a blanket.

Marbas nodded and let out a small sigh.

When he looked at Ppupppu, he immediately heard Ppupppu’s thoughts in his ear.

‘Well done, Marbas. It’s best to cover up and observe such serious matters.’

The two exchanged thoughts through magic power with Marshal in front of them.

‘By the way, Lord Krazaru. Is what our master said really true? Is Lord Lucalion really planning to leave this place?’

Ppupppu made a solemn expression.

Spinning his trunk around, he answered.

‘I don’t know. We have no choice but to find out directly.’

Marbas’s face became complicated.

He looked once at the sleeping Tie and Marshal who was tidying up the bedding, then asked.

‘But you see. Our master seems to have completely given up on tailing him….’

Ppupppu nodded.

‘I see it that way too. She’s completely lost her motivation due to that lizard’s unexpected behavior.’

‘Then what do we do? We can’t ask outright either. No wait, now that’s the only method left, so we have no choice but….’

‘We have no choice but to do it in her place.’

At the thought that came at that moment, Marbas’s eyes widened.

When he turned his head, Ppupppu was proudly flapping both ears.

‘From now on, we will tail the Villain.’

‘Pardon?’

‘We swore loyalty to Mother. As Mother’s subordinates, we have a duty to eliminate traitors.’

‘But how could we possibly follow Lord Lucalion….’

‘Be quiet. Follow me.’

The next moment, red mist that bloomed in the air grabbed and pulled Marbas.

As soon as he was dragged outside the door, Krazaru revealed himself in the air.

“Take the lead.”

“Pardon?”

“I’ll find that lizard with my mist, so you take the lead.”

Marbas’s lips quivered as he jumped up from his spot.

“Whaaaat-?!”
