I'M A Villains In My Second Life
100 Chapter

Seeing some soldiers entering the inn Ed’ turned his direction and took Leathina sitting on a waiting chair that was right in front of the innkeeper's desk.

“Ed’ what are you doing, we will be caught if it is in an open area like this.” Leathina whispered to Ed’ who was also sitting nearby.

“They won't care about us if we're out in the open like this, because they're sure that the person they're looking for is definitely hiding inside the room.” Say Ed’ while fixing Leathina's headscarf.

“Master I saw the person we were looking for enter into this inn.” Said one of the soldiers and several other soldiers immediately spread out and checked the rooms one by one.

“Master! The master! You can't just open a room like that, you'll annoy our customers.” The innkeeper spoke while trying to hinder but his efforts were in vain the soldiers had already checked the inn.

“Master, did you see three people enter your inn one female and two others are male, umm Ask the soldier to the innkeeper while thinking of recalling the physical characteristics of the person they are looking for.

“There is no such person sir, maybe you saw it wrong or they entered the inn next door, there were some customers who had come before there was a big man from the countryside, then another man and another man with brown hair along with wealth.” The innkeeper tried to explain his customers one by one but was suddenly cut off by the other soldiers.

“They are not here.” Said one of the soldiers who had just come after checking the rooms one by one.

“Oh, then we apologize for disturbing you. We'll be leaving soon.” The soldier apologized and then immediately left the inn.

After the soldiers had completely left Ed’ and Leathina immediately returned to the room they had booked earlier.

Ed’ walked over while covering his face again and his hair turned black again.

“Umm.. Ed’ said Leathina hesitated when she arrived in front of the room they were going to occupy.

“What's Leathina doing, you're not going in?” Ed’ answered while opening Leathina's door and letting her in.

“Edward? Is that you.” Leathina looked at Ed’ who had now returned to her normal state.

“Ah, did you see me? I got caught hahaha.” Ed’ just laughed while lowering back his face cover so that Leathina could see it clearly.

“EDWARD!!” Leathina screams when she sees Edward's face, whose hair has now turned golden yellow, just like the prince's hair she knows.

“Hustt you're too noisy Leathina!” edward quickly shut Leathina's mouth and pulled her into the room.

“Edward! Edward! How can you. You be a father at this young age hahah.” Leathina excitedly said then laughed.

“Dad? Me?” Edward was confused and could not understand Leathina's words.

“Yes, aren't all the members of the shadow army your children. Hearing them respect you so much and idolize you makes me think that they are your children hahah.” Leathina laughed again after speaking.

“umm.. Lea?”

“Iya what's up Edward?”

“Are you not too relaxed when you know my true identity.”

“Ah, umm yes I was very surprised at first but actually I was a little suspicious before.” Leathina answered Edward's question hesitantly.

“You already know? Since when? And how did you know? Though I'm sure so far no one has known my true identity what lest anyone else know my identity, I should immediately find out and eliminate it.” Leathina's words annoyed Edward and began to think about the possibilities that would occur.

“No, it's not like that Edward. Nobody knows it, I just have a feeling you know I've met you as Edward and as Ed’ and you're almost similar, but how can you be their leader.” Leathina asked trying to divert the conversation Edward had just started interrogating her.

“I don't know, it just happened. At that time I only went out for adventure and help people I accidentally met on my way then when I returned to the kingdom people who were on my brother's side felt threatened by existence my. They were afraid that I would steal the throne someday so they planned the assassination and I just protected myself but over time they became obsessed with eliminating me and started a cold war between us and I built my defense by establishing this organization.” Edward explained at length to Leathina and Leathina listening attentively.

“That's the Queen and the people who support her, you know the daughter of a woman of low nobility like my mother has always been an easy target, because my mother has died then the target now is me.” Edward spoke to Leathina while laughing as if that was just a matter of course.

I just found out that Edward wasn't the queen's son but the concubine's son, I forgot about him or their story wasn't explained.

“You don't need to feel sorry for me Leathina, it's me who feels sorry for you who is now living on the run haha.” Seeing Leathina pensively made Edward think that Leathina was now thinking about it and trying to melt the atmosphere.

“You're right Edward, my situation is more concerning. I was hunted by my own family.” Leathina said then as she opened her hood and let her hair unravel in front of Edward.

“You're right, but don't think about it too much.” Edward spoke as he ruffled Leathina's hair.

“Hey, hey, get your hands off my head.”

“Why? I haven't seen you in a long time Lea.” Edward then lifted Leathina's strand of hair and smelled her scent.

“Hey what are you doing, you look like a pervert tau.” Leathina brushed off his hand then stepped back to distance herself from Edward.

“But Edward why do you want to help me?” tanya Leathina then interrogates Edward.

“That's because I already promised to protect you, you remember if you danced with me and gave me a binding item then I would protect you.”

“No other reason?” Leathina again asked with a serious look.

“That's because earlier you also saved me.”

“Ah, you were right the first time we met when you were injured.” Leathina tries to recall the incident when she came out secretly and was accidentally surrounded by a fight between the bandits and Edward's people.

“Thank you if there's no other reason, I think you like me Edward haha.” Leathina boasted and followed with her own voice of laughter.

“If I like you how is Lea?” edward's question suddenly made Leathina stop laughing and look into Edward's eyes fixedly but then saw Edward smiling and laughing.

“Ah, not possible. You're too good at bragging Edward you almost made me die suddenly from shock hahah.” Leathina thought that Edward was just bragging.

“But Edward.”

“What's Leathina?” Leathina now looked into Edward's eyes seriously then slowly approached Edward while the slightly nervous Edward immediately retreated.

“Why would your personality be so different if you were Ed’? now you're joking and boasting too much, but if you're being an honest Ed’ you look really scary, how can one person have two different sides. Oh yes how your hair can change color like that.” Said Leathina then while retreating back.

"It's magic." Edward showed Leathina the change in hair color.

"Well, that's great. Can't you do the same to my hair? that'd be very useful." Leathina asked enthusiastically.

"I can't, I just do it to my own hair and body. I'm afraid of doing it to other people you know like having side effects like dizziness and other Karen you have to constantly guard it with magic."

"It's a pity, if I could also use other magic unfortunately I can only healer magic." Leathina spoke while looking at the end of her own hair.

“Alright, enough to be here today. Go to sleep I will sleep with Adam if you are in a dangerous state yelling then I will hear you adam's room next door.”  Edward spoke then immediately exited Leathina's room and closed it back down.

“So in your eyes I always make a yes and never look at me seriously.” Edward muttered after closing Leathina's room door from the outside then immediately entered the room next to her.
