A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 410
The corridor of the Imperial Palace Secret Library.
“Hic.”
Under the dark ceiling, Marbas’s hiccuping sound echoed.
Marbas, whose feet seemed frozen to the ground, turned around tearfully.
“K-Krazaru sir? I really can’t do this!”
“What?”
“I’m scared! Too scared! It’s not just any spirit, but you want me to tail Lucalion sir!”
Krazaru let out an exasperated sigh.
Marbas continued tearfully.
“Krazaru sir might not know, but I’ve always found Lucalion sir intimidating!”
“…”
“Especially after it became certain that he was the lord of the Underworld, I even avoided him for a while…!”
Just as there were various hierarchies and layers in the human world, there were also ranks among spirits.
Of course, Marbas wasn’t particularly low in rank either, but,
‘Compared to Lucalion sir, I’m not even worth a street bug!’
Lucalion was a spirit who connected the Underworld and the Living Realm.
That meant, in other words, there was no being in either the Living Realm or the Underworld who could match him.
Marbas looked at Krazaru with eyes full of distrust.
‘Krazaru sir is the same. He just said let’s search together.’
If they were discovered by Lucalion, Krazaru would definitely abandon Marbas and flee alone.
Even though he usually called him lizard and acted cocky, Krazaru also feared Lucalion.
While shuddering at the thought of being left to take all the blame, Krazaru clicked his tongue.
He floated in the air and kicked Marbas’s butt.
“What nonsense have you been spouting, Marbas. Hurry up and move.”
Marbas looked at Krazaru with resentful eyes.
Of course, Krazaru didn’t bat an eye.
“I’m detecting that villain’s presence well. And I’m reliably watching your back like this. What’s there to worry about?”
“What’s there to worry about?! Obviously…!”
“Even if we’re discovered by that villain, we have Mother as our shield. If we say we followed him on Mother’s orders, even that lizard won’t be able to do anything about it.”
“No! That excuse would only work before Lucalion sir decided to leave this place!”
Krazaru hesitated.
Marbas quickly continued.
“Didn’t you hear earlier? Lucalion sir has already decided to leave Master’s side! He’s in the study to plan for the future! Like what interesting things are happening on the continent these days!”
“…”
“Krazaru sir. It’s that Lucalion sir, that Lucalion sir!”
Krazaru’s expression became a bit more sour.
“Don’t you remember from when we traveled together? How prickly, no, independent he was!”
Feeling uneasy for some reason, Marbas corrected his words.
“He only acted like he’d pluck the stars and moon for Master, but not for us. He only talked to us when there was business, didn’t he.”
Krazaru made a hmm sound.
Marbas’s words were right.
Lucalion only dealt with them in two cases.
First, when that villain wanted to.
Second, when there was a problem they needed to think about together for Tie.
“When there wasn’t such a thing and we bothered him, he’d immediately open his eyes like this! Like this…!”
Marbas stretched his eyes upward and lowered his voice.
“Get out.”
“…”
“Not getting out? If you keep wasting time, you won’t be able to leave nicely then. He’d say this!”
Marbas trembled as if scared to death.
“Lucalion sir is someone who values his alone time very, very much! Even now, seeing him in the Secret Library says it all! That’s a place humans rarely visit!”
“…”
“So, if we get caught tailing him, who knows what will happen… urk.”
At that moment, Marbas was pushed forward with a thud.
Krazaru had kicked Marbas’s butt again.
“Go. Go quietly.”
Krazaru kept kicking Marbas’s butt repeatedly.
“How many times do I have to tell you that your problem is your long tongue. Don’t you still understand why that lizard bastard always reacted so sensitively? Huh?!”
“K-Krazaru sir! Don’t do this, let’s talk…!”
“Talk, talk, damn talk! Stop talking! That lizard bastard knew it too! That once your mouth opens, it rarely closes!”
“That’s not true! It’s not because of me, Lucalion sir originally liked independent living… uurp!”
Krazaru’s red mist wrapped around Marbas’s mouth.
“Uurp?! Urp?”
Marbas was pushed by Krazaru’s kicks and looked back desperately.
However, Krazaru didn’t bat an eye and stared at the main gate of the library visible in the distance.
“Keep it down.”
At Krazaru’s words, Marbas shut his mouth.
Indeed, the door of the Secret Library could be seen slightly open.
Whether Lucalion had dismissed them, there were no knights guarding the library around.
“Our goal is to figure out what that lizard’s plan is. For Mother.”
“Uu… huuurp…”
Marbas silently shed tears and drooped his shoulders.
Having come this far, there was no other way but to enter the library.
“I’ll hide our presence. Lead the way.”
“Uurp. Uuuuurp.”
Marbas said ‘I know you’ll abandon me and run if we get caught.’
Of course, there was no way Krazaru could understand.
“Then let’s go in.”
The two spirits finally stepped into the dark library.
‘The energy is strange.’
As soon as they entered, Krazaru shared his thoughts.
Marbas, hidden within his barrier, nodded earnestly.
‘Exactly! Was Lucalion sir’s Croa originally this kind of texture? I remember it being much gentler and softer before…’
‘I don’t know. I’ve never examined that villain’s Croa closely. But I know one thing.’
Krazaru gestured toward a bookshelf from behind which an enormous amount of Croa was emanating.
‘That villain’s Croa wasn’t originally this rough and sharp.’
Lucalion’s Croa was somehow completely unrefined.
The power and amount were the same, but it was violent and unstable as if handled by a child.
‘Krazaru sir. Maybe we should go back at this point…’
Marbas forced a smile as he looked back at Krazaru.
However, instead of answering, Krazaru fiercely raised his eyebrows.
‘That villain doesn’t know of our existence yet. Judging by the Croa fluctuations, he’s definitely absorbed in reading.’
‘…’
‘Go check what book that villain is reading, Marbas. You should be able to tell at a glance.’
Marbas had no choice but to look forward again.
‘There was a saying like this in Master’s hometown. A dilemma!’
Lucalion in front, Krazaru holding firm behind.
Tears came to his eyes because his situation was so pitiful.
‘But crying won’t solve anything!’
Marbas made a firm resolution.
Then, wrapping mist around his body, he carefully floated up into the air.
Beyond the towering bookshelf, Lucalion was there.
If he could just approach from above without being noticed and check what book he was reading.
‘Then I can get out of this hellish surveillance operation!’
Slowly, bit by bit.
Finally, the area beyond the bookshelf began to come into Marbas’s view.
He held his breath as much as possible while slowly crossing over the bookshelf.
As his view shifted, he could see the top of Lucalion’s head as he sat on the floor.
But something was strange.
‘Huh? He’s still in human form!’
Krazaru frowned from below.
‘Human form? Why? Wasn’t that lizard uncomfortable with human form?’
‘I’m not sure! Let me check the book first!’
Marbas descended slowly like a snake crossing a wall.
Just a little.
Just a little more down and he could check the book’s contents.
But at that moment.
“…Oops.”
Without warning, his ankle caught on the corner of the bookshelf and his body floated up.
Panicked, Marbas instinctively twisted his body, and what happened next was in an instant.
Clatter- Thud!
After spinning once in the air and hitting his head on the bookshelf, he fell to the floor with a thud.
The problem was that it was right in front of Lucalion’s nose.
“L-Lord Lucalion. Haha, why am I here, you ask… Well, why am I here…”
Marbas, who had started making excuses, slowly closed his mouth.
He stiffly turned his head to look at Krazaru, who was already running away in the distance.
“L-Lord Krazaru?”
Krazaru stopped awkwardly in place.
Marbas took a while to choose his words before adding.
“Lord Lucalion is sleeping.”
“…What.”
“Ha! And very deeply too. So right now, he doesn’t even know I’m here, and this is completely.”
“…”
“He’s fast asleep…?”
