I'M A Villains In My Second Life
Chapter 113

What is this feeling? I can't do my own will. Everything looks dark. Where'sme?

“Hallo Isabella?”

“Leathina!”

...

“Gosh!” Leathina was aghast from her sleep and immediately sat on her face filled with sweat and her breath hunting Leathina feeling that something bad was going to happen to her.

“Oh, Geez Miss Leathina must have had a bad dream.” Anne immediately gave Leathina a glass of water to calm her down.

“Only dreams turned out.” Leathina murmured softly and returned to Anne an empty glass which she had drunk.

“Since when did I fall asleep?”

“Nona has been asleep since Duke Leonard visited you, and hastily woke up again this morning.”

“I fell asleep during that?”

“Iya Miss, then I will immediately provide bath water for Miss Leathina.

Anne then immediately went out and did her job of serving Leathina. While Leathina lay back trying to calm her chaotic feelings.

...

Leathina stood in front of the window of her room looking out but even though she seemed to be enjoying the view outside her mind floated thinking about the incident she experienced this morning.

“What is a dream?” Leathina muttered and tried to recall the dream she saw this morning.

“What feeling is this? I can't do my own will. Everything looks dark. Where am I?” When he looked around he only saw the endless room and all its dark sides like being locked up in a giant black box.

“Hallo Isabella!” Sapa a woman then he tried to pay attention to the person who greeted him in more detail again saw the woman who was standing in front of him had the same characteristics as him having red hair and blue eyes.

“Leathina?!” he then looked at a large glass that had come out of nowhere and saw the reflection of himself had now changed he now had thick black hair with black eyeballs, he again saw the figure of the woman who was still standing in front of him then screamed to say his name.

...

Leathina who was standing in front of the window of her room involuntarily bit the tip of her thumb out of worry and her mind still kept thinking about the incident she was going through.

“Did I go back to my original form?”

“And I saw the real Leathina, I saw her expression but I forgot if she was smiling or grinning at me, I couldn't be sure because it was too dark there.”

“What real Leathina will take back her body and I will soon disappear?”

“I had a chance to feel Leathina back when Duke Leonard hugged me, I saw all the happenings but I could not move or talk as if I was confined in this body.”

“If he returns then my soul will be confined and slowly disappear because it has no body to return to.”

“And at that time I will definitely really die.”

Leathina was confused by what she was going through Leathina then tried to think about the possibilities that would happen to her. The more Leathina thought about the worst made her look even more depressed at the same time.

While outside Leathina's room, Nora and Nicholas perform her daily routine as she comes to visit her sister Leathina.

“Tok.. Geck.. Tok.”

Nora knocks on Leathina's door from the outside because seeing the door closed does not dare to enter because Leathina previously warned that they should not arbitrarily enter a woman's room and there must be Leathina's permission first for them can go inside.

“No answer.” Nora tells Nicholas then sticks his ear to the door trying to hear the voice inside.

“Sound nothing.” Nora then no longer eavesdropped and retreated back to stand right next to Nicholas.

“Maybe he is asleep these few days he spends more time in the room, let's go back we can come again tomorrow.”

“For a moment, I'd like to see him for a moment. It's okay if we just peek.”  Nora begs Nicholas to be allowed to peek for a while to see Leathina's condition.

“Ah, fine but don't disturb him and just look for a moment.”

Nora smiled happily as Nicholas allowed her to peek.

“Have you seen? Is he asleep?” Nicholas asked Nora in a whisper as he saw Nora had peeked in with half her head entering the room.

“He didn't sleep.” Nora's murmur slowly made Nicholas curious and peeked inside.

“So what he did so did not hear his door knocked.”

The two of them looked at Leathina who was standing and fantasizing in front of the window while biting her fingertips. Leathina's face looked quite serious and seemed to be thinking about something important to make her not realize that now Nora and Nicholas were peeping at her.

“Kakak Nicholas do we bother him if we reprimand him?”

“Iya it seems like he is thinking of something, let's just go back before he realizes our existence.

“So I heard him mutter and it looks like someone wants to kill him.”

“Maybe you misheard Leathina is strong enough so she can protect herself, we can also secretly help her or we report to dad, let's go back soon.”

“But it's been the second time I've heard him talk like that and you know he's been hunted before and has even taken poison, it's dangerous.” Nora tells Nicholas about what happened to Leathina.

“Then we just have to keep it quiet.” Nicholas answered briefly.

Nicholas's eyes rounded in surprise when he saw Leathina's hand was reddened and a little more would be injured because Leathina kept biting him and he had subconsciously stepped into the room and approached Leathina.

“What are you doing? You'll bleed if you keep biting him like that.” Nicholas pulled Leathina's hand and held it tightly as Leathina spontaneously fell back in shock.

“Woahh! Jesus Nicholas! You surprised me! I warned you not to enter my room without my permission first.” Leathina uttered with a peck of annoyance as Nicholas surprised her and almost made her fall.

“Sister Leathina are you okay?” Nora held onto the tip of Leathina's shirt and pulled it slowly for Leathina to see it.

“Oh Nora, you also came?” He saw his youngest sister staring at him worriedly.

“What hand is okay?” Nicholas looked carefully at the hand Leathina was still holding.

“I'm fine.” quickly Leathina pulled her hand that was still held by Nicholas then walked over and sat on the chair.

“What brought you two here?” Leathina asked trying to start a conversation because Nicholas and Nora were still looking at her with worried gazes.

“I just happened to pass by and wondered why you were so quiet in your room.” Nicholas spoke while taking a seat right in front of Leathina.

“I came because I want to see you sister Leathina.” Replied Nora who also took a seat at Leathina's damping.

“You two really like me yeah I get worried about you guys if I really will disappear later hahah.” Leathina joked but was unable to make Nora and Nicholas laugh.

“Eh, not funny well?” Leathina scratched her non-itchy head from feeling awkward with the two people who were now looking at her seriously.

“Actually what makes you khaw...”.

“Sorry Miss Leathina.”

“What's Anne? You look in a hurry.” Leathina asked as she watched her servant enter her room.

“Miss Duke Leonard calls you.”

“I? What was? Didn't I meet him yesterday.”

“I also do not know Miss, I was only instructed to tell you to come to her office.”

“Alright I'll go, you two go back to your place.”

Leathina left Nora and Nicholas in her room and walked down the corridor to Duke Leonard's office where her father had been waiting for her to arrive.

Leathina took a deep breath and slowly exhaled as she stood in front of Duke Leonard's office waiting for the guard who had come inside to inform Duke Leonard of his arrival.

“Gosh how I'm going to meet him after yesterday I cried like a child in front of him, I'm so embarrassed. But more importantly what should I call him? Dad or remain duke Leonard duh Leathina you make it more runyam just why yesterday you suddenly appeared.”

“Nona Duke has been waiting for you in her room.” A soldier who had just walked out of Duke Leonard's room told Leathina to enter immediately and then resumed her work of standing guard at the door.

“Leathina sit.” Welcome Duke Leonard when he sees Leathina entering his room.

He then left his desk and sat down on the chair in the middle of the room.

“What did you call me?” Leathina asked and as much as possible avoided Duke Leonard's eyes.

“Leathina your mother wants to have a banquet party upon your arrival, do you agree?”

“Ibook?” Leathina's brain was difficult to digest the words of Duke Leonard then silent for a moment.

“My book? Oh my God I forgot the past she meant was Duchess Nice, stepmother Leathina.”

“Iya, Nice want to throw a party to welcome your return at once to tell everyone that you have returned safely.”

“I'm actually not too concerned with such things but I also don't mind but juju I don't like the hassle of writing invitations and sending them to people.”

“You don't have to think about it Nice will take care of everything if there is someone you want to invite at your welcome event.”

“Umm The person I wanted to invite” Leathina thought again and suddenly she remembered her friends who were in the border city.

“Then may I want to invite some people but they are not from among the nation but just ordinary people, is it okay?” Leathina asked hesitantly to Duke Leonard.

“Of course you can, write down the names of the people you want to invite and give it to your mother let her take care of the rest.”

“Thank you, I'll go back to my room and start writing the names of the people I want to invite.”

“Good.”

Leathina immediately left Duke Leonard's room and returned to her room and began writing down a list of the names of the people she was going to invite.

“About who will I invite? Oh I know of course I'll invite Adam, Troy, Nina, and. It looks like I'll have to invite everyone at the base and the kids from the orphanage. All right this way.”

“Teng.. teng.. teng.

Leathina rang the bell to call Anne who was not with her and a short while later Anne rushed into Leathina's room.

“Sorry I'm late Miss, Does Miss Leathina need anything?” Anne asked Leathina shortly after entering the room.

“Thank you for coming Anne, I want to ask you please drop this off to Duchess Nice saying bring this is a list of the names of the people I want to invite, they are all common people so tell the Duchess not to distinguish her from the invitations of the nobles.”

“Alright Miss, I'll drop off soon.”

Anne received a paper listing the names of the people Leathina was going to invite and immediately went to deliver it to the Duchess of Nice who was in charge of the party they were going to host.

“I can't wait to meet them, at the party I'll meet Toni has that child met Denisa?”

“Nona Leathina, list of names you want to invite and your message I have conveyed to madam Duchess.”

Anne had returned and reported back to Leathina that she had finished her work.

“Oh thank you Anne.”

“Do misses need anything?” Anne asked Leathina when she saw Leathina was pensive again.

“I don't need anything. Anne when is the party?”

“Two weeks away Miss, Duchess prepared it carefully so put on a long time.”

“So like that, oh yes Anne for today I will lock my room I want to rest and not to be disturbed, you do not have to come see me and rest in your room.”

“Good Miss.”

“If anyone is looking for me tell me that you are sleeping and remember don't come looking for me I don't like to be disturbed, well sanpai later.”

“Clek”

Leathina spoke as she pushed Anne to the door of her room and then closed the door and locked it from the inside because she did not want anyone to disturb her.

“It looks like it will be too long if I wait to meet Toni at the party. I do come by myself to visit the boy.”

Leathina piled up some pillows on her mattress and then covered it with a blanket making her a sleeping person behind the blanket.

“Well perfect.” Mumbled Lethina while smiling proudly to see the results of his efforts to make a disguise as if he was the one who was asleep under the covers.

Leathina walked towards her Wardrobe and took her hitan robe and then immediately put it on to cover her head she also purposely covered half of her face with a cloth so as not to be recognized by people.

“It seems like there are no maids fluttering around my room.” Leathin muttered as she stuck her ear to the door of her room and then looked out her window and saw no one around her room.

After ensuring Leathina's safety took out her sword that was hung on the wall of her room, slowly opened her bedroom window and began to climb downstairs.

“Trakk.”

“Oh, jeez.” muttered Leathina slowly when she accidentally stepped on a dry twig while jumping down. Quickly he ran away and hid in the bushes.

“You heard something?” Ask a guard to a friend.

“I didn't hear anything.”

“Really?” Ask her friend again not to believe.

“This is a change of guard, I want to go home and rest if you want to check it go alone.”

“Hey wait for me! I will also go home so that the next guard who checks it I will tell him to check in the room later.”

The two of them then left their guardhouse because their guard time had run out and would change with the next duty.
