“Lea!” Adam shrieked frantically as he watched him enter the mansion with Troy and Nina.
“Oh, Adam have you returned apparently?” Sapa Leathina while transporting her groceries into the mansion is assisted by Troy.
“Lea, Boss Ed’ asked me to take you away in a few days. Let's pack your things right away.” Adam walked up to Leathina and dragged her up to the second floor to Leathina's room.
“Adam, what's up? Why are you in such a hurry, did something happen?”
“Don't say that.. “ Leathina looked into Adam's eyes desperately trying to figure out for herself what made Adam so worried that he had to rush to leave the base.
“Iya Lea.” As if knowing the contents of Leathina Adam's head then nodded surely confirming what Leathina was thinking now.
“Jeez, briefly Adam I will pack for a while.”
“Alright Leathina, then I will prepare the horse and wait for you in front.”
Leathina hurriedly climbed the stairs and walked towards her room, and immediately opened the wardrobe and took his cloth bag some of the broken clothes he left behind and put the clothes he had just bought at the store into his cloth bag.
“Why all of a sudden, they came back to a suburban city like this, wasn't it some time ago they had checked out this region!”
“Slak”
Leathina covered the rough of her wardrobe wearing back her headscarf and immediately came down back while carrying her bag.
“Lea beware.” Troy's words to Leathina as he passed by did not dare to stop him as Leathina looked very hasty.
“Oh, Troy thanks.” Leathina spontaneously stopped her footsteps hugging Troy and Nina for a while and immediately walked out of the place and saw that Adam was waiting for her in front with a horse.
“Adam, where's the horse for me?” Taya Leathina as she saw only one horse that Adam had ridden.
“Lea, give me your hand we have to get out of here quickly.”
Having no other choice Leathina simply followed Adam's words and stretched out her hand, Adam grabbed her and lifted her up on the horse with him and immediately spurred her horse out of the mansion.
“Adam, this time who came?”
“Your sister.” Adam answered briefly and refocused on driving his horse with maximum speed.
“Huh, Nicolas?”
“Yes, Ed’ Boss says Duke secretly sent his son to border city.”
“To find me?”
“Yes, it seems like they have obtained information regarding your whereabouts in this city.”
“Where is Ed” now?”
“Bos Ed’ back to the kingdom, he can not leave the kingdom for too long.”
“Kingdom? Do you know the true identity of Ed’, Adam?” Leathina asked Adam.
“Eh.. ah, about that I.” Adam showed an expression as if he had spoken wrongly and ended up like a child trying to dodge.
“Do not tell me that I cannot know.” Said Leathina and then returned to focus on staring at the street in front of her.
“Lea, about it.”
“It's okay, Adam.”
“Well, where are you taking me? Are we going to the opposite city or going to a further place?” Leathina tried to divert the conversation because she saw that Adam felt bad for not telling Leathina the truth, even though she knew what Adam did not want to say.
“We won't go anywhere.”
“Eh, so where are we going?”
“We are not going anywhere because we cannot, if we are now out of the kingdom we will be found border guards so for now we just go to the city and hide there, he said, are you okay?”
“It's okay, as long as I'm not caught.”
“Alright, handle Lea, so you don't fall.”
“You think I'm a kid.”
“Ah, I just got here with Troy and Nina.” Leathina muttered as she laid her body on the bed of the inn she was in.
“Adam, when do you think those soldiers will be back?” leathina asked Adam who had just laid Leathina's cloth bag.
“Perhaps two or three days, they will just come back.”
“After that?” leathina asked Adam.
“Why are you asking as if you have no other purpose?” Adam asked Leathina.
“Yes, because it looks like you have received an order from Ed’ to keep an eye on me.”
“You realized it? After the soldiers returned to the kingdom Boss Ed’ asked me to take you back to our headquarters.”
“Of course I realized it. So like that?”
“You don't mind?”
“It looks like Ed’ won't let me go anywhere for now. Ed’ also promises to protect me.”
“You will be safer if you are with us.”
“But it will be dangerous for you if I continue to stay there, the guards could just arrest you on charges of kidnapping or something.”
“You don't have to worry about that Lea, no one feels threatened because of your existence.”
“Really? Woahp I seem sleepy.” Leathina covered her mouth as she yawned and turned her back to Adam who was now sitting by her bedside.
“Lea?” Call out to Adam while looking at Leathina's back who is now behind him.
“What?” Leathina replied while enduring her drowsiness.
“Why did you run away from your family?”
“Because my whereabouts are not in want there, so I want to find a place for myself.”
“What if it turns out all this time they've been looking for you because they want you back.”
“Haha, that's impossible, they didn't come looking but hunting fugitives. You know I almost killed my own sister and I'll be punished for that I still clearly remember they'll drag me to jail.”
“But Lea, you didn't do it did you?”
“Well, I didn't do it but people think I did it as hard as I tried to explain the truth they hate me more and more. Besides a side person like me in the end is destined to be eliminated, even Ed’ will also do it later but not yet because it is not the time.
“Side people? Getting rid of by Ed’ boss? Leathina what does that mean?” adam asked Leathina because he could not understand Leathina's words.
“Lea what do you mean?” Adam asked again because Leathina still did not respond.
“Lea?”
“Ummm.”
Adam continued to ask but there was no answer Leathina only muttered vaguely in response to Adam's remark.
“Lea are you asleep?”
“Oh, jeez you fell asleep apparently.”
Because there was no response from Leathina Adam examined the state of Leathina and saw the woman in front of him had fallen asleep with a curled position.
“You will be sore if you sleep in this position, Miss.”
Adam removed Leathina's footwear still attached to her feet, fixed Leathina's sleeping position and then covered her with a blanket he took from the inn closet in the room they occupied.
After correcting Leathina's position, adam silently walked out leaving Leathina herself, who was now asleep from exhaustion, Before actually leaving Adam had a short peek inside to confirm Leathina's condition and immediately closed the door from the outside.
