A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 45

The Waverill Marquis family were Jedo nobles.

Not some clumsy power family that had been incorporated into Jedo by chance long ago, but true ‘Jedo nobles’.

‘So I think it would be good to tell the Waverill Marquis family about our situation and arrange to request help when we face any potential danger. What do you think?’

Tie agreed with Nordics’ opinion.

It certainly seemed like it would be safer for Tie.

Above all, Councilor Marianne also didn’t seem like she would refuse Tie’s request.

Before Nordics, Marianne had actually come to find Tie first.

‘Is there anything Agabert currently needs? If so, I want to help.’

‘Councilor…?’

‘Yes. You saved my sons, didn’t you? Something everyone else was reluctant to do. So if there’s anything I can help with, please tell me.’

At that time, she had said there was nothing she could think of and sent Marianne away.

But after the conversation with Nordics, she realized.

What she needed to ask Marianne for.

So that night, Tie steeled her resolve and went alone to Marianne’s office.

‘Councilor! Actually, Tie isn’t a powerful Commander King!’

Marianne seemed flustered.

‘Tie is actually a child… I’m looking for my father.’

However, after hearing everything, she seemed greatly surprised, and then immediately became serious.

‘To my ears, this entire situation sounds quite dangerous. How many people in total know this fact?’

‘Umm, Uncle Basto and Brother Veil and Nordics Grandfather and Brother Raul, Brother Enzo, and the Councilor…?’

Marianne was relieved only after hearing that Tie had cast conditional memory erasure magic on everyone.

Then she firmly grasped Tie’s hand and said.

‘Good. I will support Danzu as much as I can. However, it would be better to do so from behind, inconspicuously.’

‘Really…?’

‘From the moment Raul and Enzo chose Danzu, we’ve been in the same boat. From now on, I will think of Danzu as no different from my own child, just like those boys.’

Hearing those words, the people from Gold Coalition suddenly came to mind.

Specifically, 107 Grandmother and 203 Aunt.

Those two had always told Tie that she was no different from their own child, no different from their own family.

Tie felt something stirring in a corner of her heart and her eyes welled up with tears.

Marianne hugged Tie tightly and gently patted her back.

‘Danzu, no, Miss Tie is doing well. Everything will be fine from now on, so don’t worry.’

‘Huh, hueng…’

‘It’s been difficult, hasn’t it?’

‘Yes, I walked all the way to Pearl City and I was hungry and my legs hurt. Actually, I was a little scared when catching sea monsters too…’

‘Oh my, we need to get a sturdy carriage first.’

After saying that, Marianne even took information about Father.

She did tilt her head upon hearing that his name was Kim Youngsu.

At the end, Tie activated the Sacred Oblivion at Marianne’s request.

‘I knew that Raul and Enzo would eventually take up swords again. Those boys take after their husband more than me.’

Before leaving the office, Marianne said this while firmly holding Tie’s hand.

‘So I was prepared that someday I would have to send the boys back to the battlefield… but I was still anxious.’

‘…’

‘So I’m glad that those boys chose Miss Tie, and Agabert.’

Marianne’s eyes were full of sincerity.

‘You were the ones who stepped forward when no one else would. I’m relieved that the place my children belong to seems safe and warm.’

At that moment, Tie felt something she had never felt before tickling inside her heart.

It was a sense of responsibility.

‘Tie will definitely take good care of Brother Raul and Brother Enzo.’

‘Really?’

‘Yes! So the brothers won’t get hurt, Tie will work really hard!’

That day.

Returning to her bedroom, Tie looked at the ceiling and thought for a long time.

‘So this is what being a leader is like.’

It was a job she had taken on by chance to hide her identity.

But now, Tie was feeling something special and wonderful as a leader.

‘…I want to become stronger.’

She had strong power, but didn’t know exactly how to use it.

“It would be nice if there was a teacher who uses magic like Tie.”

Then she could learn how to handle this power and use it better.

Tie got up and stared out the window where moonlight was falling.

‘How nice would it be if there were no Mastones in this world at all?’

Then Basto’s wife and daughter, and Councilor Marianne’s husband wouldn’t have died at the hands of monsters.

“And Father too…”

Suddenly, the image of Father from her last dream flashed through her mind.

Father standing among writhing monsters, holding baby Tie tightly.

Father whose eyes were full of anxiety and worry.

‘Did Father really fall to South Korea while fighting monsters?’

Then Father’s hardships in South Korea, his sudden death one day.

And his inability to recognize Tie today were all because of Mastones.

Tie clenched her fists tightly.

‘If Tie becomes stronger…’

She would protect future Father from facing such dangers.

Furthermore, she would protect Raul and Enzo, and protect Basto, Nordics, and Veil.

Tie opened her bag and firmly grasped the stone where Kamang was sleeping.

After that, despite trying to sleep, she had no choice but to spend the night with her eyes open.

It was because thoughts kept following one after another, tormenting Tie.

And so, Tie and Agavert loaded their luggage neatly into the sturdy carriage that Marianne had provided.

“You said you’re going to the Popurosa Weapon District?”

At Marianne’s question, Raul and Enzo nodded.

Agavert’s next destination was the Popurosa Weapon District.

It was a place they needed to stop by to repair Basto’s war hammer, which had deteriorated in durability.

“While we’re there, I’m planning to get a new sword made for myself.”

At Raul’s words, Marianne smiled faintly.

She remained silent for a moment before going inside the Dominion Hall.

Then she soon came out carrying something.

Raul’s eyes widened as he recognized the object in her hands.

“…Mother?”

“It’s the sword your father used.”

Basto and Veil, who had been loading luggage, turned to look their way.

Tie, who was up in the carriage, also looked at Marianne and the twins.

“The blade has become quite dull. It must have happened in the last battle.”

“…”

“Now have it repaired and carry it with you.”

Raul froze with surprised eyes.

Enzo, who was beside him, lightly tapped Raul and said casually.

“What are you doing? Hurry up and take it. Mother’s arms must be getting tired.”

Only then did Raul snap to his senses and take the sword.

However, he soon looked at Marianne as if he couldn’t possibly accept it.

“Mother. But still, this is…”

“You’re left-handed like your father. There’s no reason you can’t use this sword.”

“…”

“Besides, your father wouldn’t want the sword that carries on his will to just sit stuck on a display stand either.”

Raul eventually closed his mouth.

Soon after he nodded slightly, Veil gestured from afar as if telling them to hurry over.

“Let’s get going!”

Enzo gave Marianne one last tight hug before turning around.

Raul, who had received the sword, also followed behind with reddened eyes.

“Lord of the Hall! I’ll come again!”

Finally, when everyone had boarded the carriage, Tie waved her hand cheerfully.

Marianne smiled back at Tie in response.

Soon the horses began moving forward.

Marianne held back what felt like tears coming and watched the departing carriage intently.

Though it was regrettable, she didn’t feel anxious or scared like before.

She took a deep breath, then turned around and went inside the Dominion Hall.

And as soon as she sat down at her desk, she began writing a letter.

[Something has come up that needs to be investigated.

I’m looking for a Paladin who has made a great name for himself or achieved great merit, either currently or in the past.

He’s said to have black hair and eyes that are a mix of green and brown, and his character is quite serious and taciturn.

His name is a bit unusual, so I think that might make it possible to find him more quickly.

Please find out if there’s anyone in Jedo who knows a Paladin named Kim Youngsu.]

Having finished the letter, Marianne wrote ‘Walker Waverill’ in the recipient field.

Her mother, the current head of the Waverill family, and one of the Empire’s five great magnates.

The current Viscount Waverill.
