A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 411

“He’s sleeping?”

Krazaru, who had instantly approached Marbas’s side again, muttered.

Then he slowly bent one knee and peered into Lucalion’s face.

“Huh.”

Just as Marbas had said, Lucalion was in a very deep sleep.

With a defenseless expression, breathing evenly in and out.

“…There’s no way he’s sleeping peacefully. Unless he’s in a state of rest.”

Krazaru whispered in a tense voice.

“Maybe he fought some battle we don’t know about in the Central Continent. So he needed time to restore his energy…”

“No! Look, I’m telling you he’s just sleeping!”

Marbas cut off Krazaru’s words.

“Look, don’t you see his eyelids trembling slightly! In a state of rest, there should be no movement in the body like death, but Lord Lucalion seems to be dreaming…”

“Check the books.”

Krazaru cut him off.

He added to Marbas, who had widened his eyes.

“Check what he was reading. Everything he’s holding and everything stacked beside him.”

“Ah, yes!”

Marbas moved quickly.

He approached close to Lucalion while muffling his footsteps, then stretched out his neck.

Marbas, who examined the book Lucalion was reading, frowned.

“What is it. What was the lizard reading?”

Krazaru urged.

Marbas looked at him with a troubled expression.

“Well, the thing is. Ju-just wait a moment please.”

Then he began checking the rest of the books stacked beside Lucalion one by one.

How long had he waited?

As if thinking something was definitely strange, Marbas tilted his head and stepped back.

“Lord Krazaru. Something seems odd.”

Then he picked up the book on top of the pile and held it out to Krazaru.

“Look at this! 【Imperial Marriage and the Balance of Power】! He’s reading books related to human society!”

Krazaru’s brow twitched.

But Marbas’s words didn’t end there.

He pointed one by one at the book in Lucalion’s hands and the books in the stacked pile.

“【Political Standing and Marriage Management of Imperial Direct Line】, 【Social Customs and Informal Power Structures of Jedo’s Upper Class】…”

“…”

“There’s also 【The Dangers of External Family Intervention in Successor Selection】… Wait. What’s this one?”

Krazaru quickly turned his gaze.

As Marbas said, there was one book from a slightly different field lying at his feet.

“【Appetite Control and Healthy Eating Habits】? Why would he read a book like this?”

A moment of silence passed.

The list was so absurd that Krazaru was just blinking his eyes.

“I got it! I understand!”

Marbas stepped forward.

“It seems Lord Lucalion is conducting research on humans!”

Krazaru didn’t answer.

He just looked down at the sleeping Lucalion with a meaningful expression.

“That lizard, researching humans?”

“Yes. But now that I think about it, all these books are related to the Princess.”

Marbas muttered as if he had realized something.

“Human society. Specifically, he might have been curious about the Imperial lifestyle…”

“But why?”

Krazaru, who had cut off Marbas’s words, scanned over the pile of books.

“Didn’t this guy decide to leave Mother’s side?”

“…”

“He’s leaving because life here is boring and useless. Yet it’s strange that he would look up and read related content in books.”

Once again, silence descended upon the Secret Library.

How much time had passed?

“Um, how about we go back for now?”

Marbas cautiously suggested.

“We’ve already found out everything we needed to know, and Master must be waiting for us!”

Krazaru, who had been glaring at Lucalion with a sullen expression, reluctantly nodded.

“Fine.”

Then he turned around sharply.

Marbas checked if there was anything left behind and slowly followed behind Krazaru.

But it was just before the two spirits left the Secret Library.

“…What are you doing here?”

“Hiik!”

Suddenly, a voice was heard from behind Marbas.

When he turned his head, Lucalion was looking at them with his upper body half-raised.

Marbas, who met those coolly glowing red eyes, hiccupped softly.

“Ha, haha. Lord Lucalion. We were just…”

At that moment, Lucalion’s gaze fell downward.

Precisely, toward the one book that Marbas had been secretly taking away.

“That’s definitely…”

Marbas hurriedly hid the book behind his back, but it was already too late.

“Marbas. I won’t ask twice.”

Lucalion, who had gotten up from his seat, crossed his arms.

Then he asked Marbas, who couldn’t stop hiccupping.

“Tell me. Where and why were you taking the book I was reading?”

“Hueoong, so that’s why. Lucalion must be abandoning Tie and leaving!”

Meanwhile, Tie, who had shut herself in the Princess’s Bedroom, sniffled under the blankets.

In her hand, a smooth communication tunnel was blinking with green light.

[There must be some misunderstanding. How could Lucalion do that? He’s been by your side for over 10 years already. You two are the closest of friends.]

Selina’s gentle voice echoed under the blankets.

Tie weakly shook her head.

Then she continued speaking while looking at the sparkling communication tunnel light.

“Selina. Maybe, only Tie thought we were friends.”

[What do you mean by that?]

“Lucalion is a spirit. He lives much, much longer than Tie.”

Tie let out a small sigh.

“Selina, could you be friends with a mayfly?”

[Huh?]

“A mayfly. One that only lives for about 3 days.”

The other side of the communication tunnel became quiet.

Tie continued speaking listlessly.

“A human who lives 100 years and a mayfly that lives 3 days can’t be friends with each other. So, Lucalion and Tie are the same.”

[Tie…]

“Selina. Thank you for listening to Tie’s story.”

[Tie? Why are you trying to hang up?]

“Yeah. From now on, I’m going to think alone and prepare my heart. I’ll call again next time!”

[Tie, don’t do that. If you have something troubling you, you can share more. Don’t worry alone…]

“No, I’m fine! Then goodbye!”

She could hear [Tie, Tie?] calling from the other side, but Tie carefully ended the communication.

‘If it were good news, that would be different.’

She shouldn’t burden her most precious friend with only bad and sad stories.

She was already upset, and she definitely didn’t want Selina to feel these upset feelings too.

“Sigh…”

Tie, who let out a sigh, slowly came out of bed.

Then she sat leaning her back against the nightstand beside the bed.

“Where did Marul and Ppupppu go?”

Was it because she was exhausted from crying?

Suddenly sleepiness came over her, and when she briefly dozed off and woke up, the two had disappeared somewhere.

Tie pondered alone and shook her head back and forth.

“Anyway. There’s nothing I can do about it now.”

If Lucalion was leaving, she had no choice but to let him go.

So she needed to steel her heart and…

“Huh?”

At that moment, the door burst open.

Tie looked across and opened her eyes wide.

“Ka, Kamang…?”

For some reason, Lucalion was standing at the door with a serious expression.

And in his hands,

“Kyuut…”

“Pl, please save me, Master! I’ve been caught! Sob, of all times to get caught, it had to be just before escaping the secret library!”

Ppupppu and Marbas in wooden doll form were dangling there.

“Astie.”

At that moment, Lucalion called Tie.

Then he strode over and plopped down in front of Tie.

“You went to the main palace during the day, didn’t you?”

Tie unconsciously gasped.

She subtly turned her head away, but Lucalion’s eyes persistently followed Tie.

“Did you hear it there? The conversation I had with Tesetan, no, your father?”

“Um, well, that is…”

Lucalion let out a sigh.

Then he put Ppupppu and Marbas down on the floor while making a somewhat hurt expression.

“But to send spies after me. That’s not like you.”

Tie jumped up from her spot in shock.

“Gasp! No, no! Tie only made the plan, but Ppupppu and Marul did it on their own while Tie was sleeping…!”

“Right. I was trying to keep you away from me. There are a few humans I’m concerned about.”

“Huh?”

Tie opened her mouth blankly.

Lucalion scratched his head as if troubled.

“A social gathering, isn’t that too early? The intention to somehow attach their children to your side is too transparent and unpleasant.”

“…Huh?”

“Why on earth do you need other connections, other friends? You’re already strong enough, and I’m by your side.”

Lucalion’s expression became somewhat sulky.

“…Let me tell you in advance, I have no intention of stepping aside from your side.”

His determined red eyes turned toward Tie again.

“Now, and even after you become Emperor.”

“…”

“Even after you pass the throne to your descendants and become a bent old grandmother enjoying a quiet retirement.”
