I'M A Villains In My Second Life
Chapter 112's

“Huaapp”

Leathina yawned as it held back her sleepiness while her eyes were still closed. His consciousness then slowly returned and slowly opened his eyes.

“Ukh!” Leathina again closed her eyes as her face was exposed to the morning sun and dazzled. Her eyes that had just opened were still difficult to adapt to the bright light quickly Leathina turned to the other side to avoid the light that blinded her eyes.

“Eh who?”

When turning to the other side Leathina's eyes caught the silhouette of the man who was now standing in front of her and was looking at her.

Leathina rubbed her eyes rough to clarify her vision then saw the figure of a blond and green-eyed man with a firm face line looking at her.

“Ed’? EDWARD!” Leathina screams when she recognizes the male figure who is now developing her smile because Leathina managed to recognize him.

“What... what? What are you doing in a woman's room so early?” Pekik Leathina then immediately covered herself with a blanket as she was still wearing her pajamas.

“I wait for you to wake up, what else can I do to a sleeping person if not waiting for him to wake up.”

Edward spoke while sitting on Leathina's bedside.

“Come out now! I'll be ready soon and see you again.”

“I just came to see how you are doing Are you okay Leathina?”

“You see I'm fine. Thanks to you and Adam for taking care of me.”

“But still, Adam failed to take care of you for letting you be brought back here.”

“It's not Adam's fault don't blame him too much, he's been trying to protect me until the end.”

“So what are your plans Leathina?”

“Why should I tell you what my plan is Edward.” Leathina looked at Edward suspiciously and then exhaled a deep breath and scratched her non-itchy head as she was annoyed by Edward.

“I promised no, that I would take care of you.”

“Iya. yes.. I know.” Leathina simply agreed with Edward and did not take him seriously because Leathina knew in the end Edward would definitely like Yasmine like the others.

“Leathina? I'm serious.”

“Leathina, do you want to leave here?”

“For what, they will surely desperately search for me and bring me back.”

“I can take you away from here, I can take you anywhere until they can't chase you anymore.”

“Edward! Don't joke you're a pangaren, not an ordinary person who can go anywhere.”

“I can go undercover and go where you go Leathina.”

“So you will leave your position as a prince and leave your subordinates and forever live in disguise you want to live like that Edward? Ah it's Edward now my mind is fucked you go back.”

“I'm sorry for bothering you Leathina, then I will come back and will visit you again later.” Edward then returns and leaves Leathina alone in her room and promises to see Leathina again.

“Akh! What I'm actually doing here.” Leathina rubbed her face rough then dropped herself just like that and went back to lying down.

...

Leathina was now neat and sitting in a chair not far from her bedroom window. Leathina was looking at a book and opened up sheet by sheet of the book she was holding but did not focus on trusting her eyes to occasionally steal the field on people who now always visit her room in these few days after it's back.

“Nona, do I want to bring you a cake? Or does Miss need something? Just tell me.” Anne excitedly hoped that the lady she served asked her for something.

“Thank you Anne, but I don't need anything. Today you've asked me many times about that why don't you go back and rest in your room.”

“I have to be twenty-four hours by your side Miss, take it easy.” Anne spoke with a wide smile that made Leathina unable to repel him.

“Leathina! I heard today that Prince Edward met you did he say anything to you? Is he bothering you? Just tell me I'll take care of it for you.” Said Ncholas who had been in Leathina's room with Nora.

“Iya brother just say it, I will also definitely help you?” Nora supported Nicholas.

For several days now they both always came to visit Leathina and remained around Leathina even though Leathina refused.

“I'm fine. You two don't have to worry.”

“But, Nhicolas shouldn't you be busy why don't you go back to your room and study and you're also Nora isn't your learning strict why not go to the library to read a lot of books. You two wasted your precious time.” Every time they came to Leathina's room, Leathina kept trying to evict them both subtly but unfortunately it always didn't work out.

“You don't have to worry about my lesson Leathina, I've been smart enough and mastered all the lessons.” Nicholas casually answers Leathina's question and returns to enjoy the tea Anne has prepared.

“I'm also Leathina's sister, take it easy I brought my textbooks here I can read them all while continuing to be near you, dad has also allowed me not to take classes as long as I complete my chores.” Nora spoke while showing Leathina a pile of books piled up in front of her, books she had brought from her room and had to read.

“Uhg! Jeez what should I do with these guys.” Gumam Leathina slowly then refocused on the book in her handler and turned the sheets while thinking about how she could get away from her two sisters.

The day after Leathina fell and continued to happen repeatedly until it became routine for Nicholas and Nora to always visit Leathina's room.

“Brak”

“Kakak Leathina.” Nora exclaimed as she saw Leathina standing by the window.

The sound of Leathina's door creaking opened haphazardly and a boy came in hugging Leathina.

“Nora?” muttered Leathina softly as she returned Nora's embrace.

“Umm Nora, what brings you here?” Leathina asked hesitantly to Nora.

“What do you mean, do I need a reason if a sister wants to visit her brother.” Suddenly there was a voice that cut through Nora and Leathina's conversation.

Leathina immediately looked for the owner of the voice she was familiar with and saw Nicholas had stood in the doorway and noticed the two of them then immediately entered Leathina's room and took his own seat without being in submitted by Leathina.

“Nicholas you also came turned out.” Leathina welcomes Nicholas.

“Don't get me wrong, I came for fear of something happening with Nora if she's with you.” Nicholas replied indifferently to Leathina.

“Ah, so like that yes.” Leathina responded to Nicholas and chose to ignore him and focus on Nora.

The next day at the same time.

“Kakak Leathina!” Nora cried when she saw Leathina sitting on a chair while enjoying her snack brought by Anne.

“Oh, you came again Nora.” Leathina greeted Nora and smiled.

“I came too, don't you overdo Leathina you just smile when you see Nora when I'm still your sister." Say”Nicholas ketus but keep coming in and sitting near Leathina.

“Oh, jeez you also came Nicholas.” Welcomed Leathina then forced her smile on Nicholas.

The next day and the next day again they still always visit Leathina's room until it becomes a habit for both of them.

“You're coming again Nora what's up? though it was just a moment ago that you left my room.” Leathina asked without turning her head and just focused on reading the book she was waiting for.

“Nora?” Leathina asked again because she heard no sound at all.

Leathina still did not turn her head and just focused her reflection on the sound of footsteps that walked closer and closer then stopped later when she was a few steps behind her.

“Nona is not a young master who came but Duke.” Anne whispered to Leathina who still had not turned her head to see who had come.

“Oh Jeez, Salama Duke.”Sapa Leathina then slightly bowed in her honor and still did not dare to look at the face of Duke Leonard who was now standing right in front of her.

“I.. I will come out to finish my work, excuse me lord duke.” Seeing the extremely awkward situation between Duke Leonard and Leathina made Anne think that she should leave immediately to give Leathina and Duke Leonard some time.

“Tak” the sound of the door creaking as Anne closed it from outdoors.

“So What brought you here Duke Leonard.” Although feeling very awkward because of their quarrel during the previous meeting, Leathina still tried to calm down and start a conversation because Duke Leonard was still silent.

“Leathina?”

“I..iya Duke?” Leathina replied hesitantly.

“You don't want to call me dad.”

“Maybe no longer, Duke.” Answer Leathina flat.

Leathina finally understood what made Duke Leonard come to see her then her memories returned on the night of their quarrel and eyed some sentences that the Duke regretted having her even calling her evil like the others and slapped her in her cheek.

“Do you hate me, Leathina?” ask Duke Leonard again to Leathina who still does not want to see him.

“Iya I don't like you Duke.” Leathina replied again and still with the same expression.

“Leathina can't this father-son relationship be fixed?”

“Unfortunately it may be too late if you want a harmonious relationship with this child, Leathina who used to have already disappeared.”

“Leathina I know I've been so outrageous to you, can't you give me a chance?”

“Not that I don't want to give you a chance but this kid, Leathia has really disappeared.” Leathina replied as if she didn't know what to say anymore.

“Tak.”

Duke Leonard sat on the floor and his knee slammed against the floor and began to tear without a sound.

“Oh, my goodness, what have I done to this old man who has always held his head high until he would kneel like this before me. It's not that I don't want to forgive him but what really happened is that I'm not the real Leathina and the real Leathina has long been lost and should be the one who deserves this apology is the real Leathina.”

“Duke Leonard.” Leathina exclaimed and immediately crouched down in front of Duke Leonard and tried to help him get back on his feet.

“Oh, gosh I'm sorry Duke.”

When Leathina tried to help Duke Leonard stand up her strength was not strong enough to help Duke Leonard stand up and Leathina who fell and was captured by Duke Leonard until Leathina ended up falling in the arms of Duke Leonard.

“Duke?” Leathina tried to let go of her father's embrace that was getting louder and firmer.

“Leathina forgive me. I beg your father's forgiveness.” Duke Leonard said softly as he buried his face on Leathina's shoulder and his tears still shed without letting out a sound.

“Huh?” Leathina was pensive and moments later her tears began to flow on their own.

"What is this genuine Leathina feeling? Ah, shit when I don't want to cry right now but my tears are coming out on their own."

“Dad, I hate you!” Leathina strangled him later and tried to let go of his embrace but Duke Leonard still held her back.

“I know then from that I'm sorry.”

“I really hate you.” Peeked Leathina again on the sidelines of her cries.

“You know, all this time I've been tormented.. I'm always jealous of Nicholas who can call you dad any time. I've always been jealous of Nora who can freely run around hugging you.” Leathina's cry broke even more as Duke Leonard tried to lift her by patting her on the back.

“I'm sorry Leathina.”

“Originally you know that whenever I can't forgive you, for twenty years you've never paid me any attention. The death of my mother for giving birth to me was not my fault but why did you vent your anger and sadness on me. A child cannot choose his birth but a parent can choose the opportunity to throw his child away if he wants.”

“You don't need to forgive me Leathina, but let me apologize.”

“I don't need all the money and titles you'll give me, all I need is a father figure but you Leathina's cry then broke and could no longer continue.

Duke Leonard still patted Leathina's back gently as she put a fussy baby to sleep.

Moments later there was no more Leathina's crying sound that there was only as much as it had been heard several times.

“Leathina?” call Duke Leonard but get no answer from Leathina.

Duke Leonard let go of his embrace and saw Leathina now fast asleep, carefully Duke Leonard raised Leathina's body and placed it on his bed.

...

“Anne, Why are you fighting?” Nora asked when she saw Anne crying in front of Leathina's room.

“She must have been kicked out by Leathina, has her cruel nature been back again?” Nicholas answered Nora's question and walked past Nora who was still standing in front of Anne about to open the door but suddenly Nicholas stopped and pegged in front of the door.

“What's brother Nicholas you're not going in?” Nora asked but then also took a peek beside Nicholas.

They heard two voices that they knew were talking in Leathina's room. Nicholas and Nora did not dare to bother and just focused on listening.

...

“I really hate you.”

“You know, all this time I've been tormented.. I'm always jealous of Nicholas who can call you dad any time. I've always been jealous of Nora who can freely run around hugging you.” Leathina's cry broke even more as Duke Leonard tried to lift her by patting her on the back.

“I'm sorry Leathina.”

“You know I'm up to whenever I won't be able to forgive you, for twenty years you've never paid me any attention. The death of my mother for giving birth to me was not my fault but why did you vent your anger and sadness on me. A child cannot choose his birth but a parent can have the opportunity to throw his child away if he wants.”

...

“Why are you crying?” Nicholas rebuked his sister who was now crying beside him.

“because I heard Leathina's sister crying, but you were crying too?” Nora spoke as little as possible so that they would not be caught eavesdropping at the door and pointed at the corner of Nicolas' slightly watery eyes.

“I'm not crying.” Nicholas spoke as he rubbed the corner of his eyes with his arm.

“We shouldn't be here, let's go we can come again tomorrow.” Nicholas then undoes his intention to go inside and immediately returns to his room followed by Nora behind him.
