I'M A Villains In My Second Life
Chapter 121

Leathina entered her room she saw Anne anxiously pacing around in her room because she was worried about Nonanya who had just jumped out of the train and left when she was in town this afternoon while on the way back after visiting the orphanage..

“It's late but Miss Leathina is still not back, do I have to tell Mr. Duke to send someone to find Miss Leathina.” He said by continuing to walk there yesterday .

“No, no, no, if I were to report on the incident and Duke finds out that his daughter has not returned, then Duke Leonard would have immediately ordered to look for her and at the same time Miss Leathina would be angry with me. I'd better wait for Miss Leathina until I get back.”

Anne argued with herself, confused about wanting to make a decision which she thought was most appropriate. Anne was eager to tell the Duke that Leathina had still not returned and had simply disappeared and wandered around the city without an escort, but on the other hand Anne was unwilling to disobey Leathina's orders before jumping down from the city the train and Leathina disappear asking him to keep her secret from Duke Leonard.

“Can't, I can't take it anymore. I must immediately inform the lord duke to search for Miss Leathina.” Anne set her heart and was about to report to her master after waiting for Leathina long enough and still not return while the darkness of night had come.

“Brakk.”

Leathina opened the door and faced Anne who had just wanted to get out of Leathina's room.

“Nona Leathina!” Anne screamed when she saw Leathina return safely.

When Anne was just about to come out to tell Duke Leonard about the disappearance of Leathina in the city the door suddenly opened and seen Leathina who was now walking in and approaching Anne who was still standing in the middle of the room after seeing Leathina finally returned.

“Anne, don't tell me just now you're going to report to Duke?” Tanya Leathina probed who saw Anne who seemed like she was about to go out.

“I'm sorry Miss Leathina, I'm worried if anything happens to Miss Leathina if she's alone in town. But I haven't told Mr. Duke I was just thinking of doing it if Miss Leathina hasn't returned from town.” Anne tried to explain how worried she was about Leathina not coming back.

“Alright." Leathina's words understand Anne.

"Anne when the day of the party is held later provide me with a dress that is rather open and difficult to use I will also ask you to do something on that day.” Leathina suddenly discussed the dress she wanted to wear for the party that was soon to be held.

"If my dress is difficult to wear it will be difficult to remove as well. I'm not going to give ease to people who are going to harm me."

“Good Miss Leathina will I remember.” Anne replied, obedient to Leathina's words.

“Anne tomorrow morning have someone go behind the back garden barrier wall there is a horse feed and drink and bring me after I have breakfast.”

“Good I understand Miss Leathina.”

“Do you want to shower? I will immediately prepare the bath water for Miss Leathina. Anne asked Leathina again.

“No need, instead just bring me a cup of water to wash my face.”

“Good Miss.” Anne immediately came out to fetch it through the water to be used to clean Leathina's face.

It didn't take long for Anne to come back to Leathina's room with a warm cup of water and a towel to be used by Leathina to wash her face. Leathina, who saw Anne coming with water, immediately moved and washed her face with the water brought by Anne and dried her face, which had been rinsed with a dry towel that Anne had prepared for her.

After finishing cleaning her face and changing into clothes Leathina lay on the bed then tried to recall what she had heard while in the restaurant and in the quiet alley probably slowly - land fell asleep because feeling very exhausted.

...

The next day before the party was held, he intended to go out to visit Denisa, who is still in exile because of the punishment for the crime he had committed.

After finishing her breakfast Leathina immediately prepared to go out she took her cloth bag and put in some pentin items she thought she should carry. After that put on a robe and took out his sword then hung it on his waist.

“What today are you going out Miss Leathina?” Anne asked after entering Leathina's room with some boxes of food that Leathina had requested.

He saw that Leathina had prepared to come out because she had been wearing a robe and cloth bag that was in her guard.

“Iya I'll be out about two to three days.” Leathina replied while wearing her cloth bag on her back.

“Alright I will immediately ask someone to prepare a train for Miss Leathina's use.”

“No need Anne, I'll ride a horse and go alone. Oh yeah, what did I ask you to do last night?”

“Already Miss, the horse is now in the stables.”

“Good. If Nicholas and Nora come to visit me tell her that I'm out for a while and if the Duke knows the Duchess who came looking for me say that I went to see a friend out of town.”

“That means Miss didn't tell anyone if Miss would be out for days? Can I come with you to escort Miss Leathina?” Anne asked worriedly when she found out that Leathina would go alone without an escort.

“They won't let me if I tell them and you don't have to come with Anne I don't need an escort anyway I need your help to tell them not to worry too much about me.”

“Alright Miss Leathina I understand, be careful on your trip.” Anne actually felt sad and worried about letting Leathina go alone because she had just returned because she was afraid that something bad would happen to Leathina while traveling alone.

“Alright, see you again Anne. Take good care of yourself and remember my message.” Leathina's words reminded Anne before she actually left.

Leathina left Anne and immediately headed for the stables and the moment her eyes caught the horse she had been using for a few days.

“Hai! We'll see you again buddy.” Leathina muttered as she gently stroked the head of the horse which she often used in these few days.

“This time we will go quite far so be prepared.” Leathina muttered as she removed the rope that tied her horse and took it out of the cage.

Leathina drove her horse out of the Yarnell family residence, no one knew where Leathina was going nor did she tell Anne because Leathina knew if the duke asked her where she was going Anne would answer her and tell her where she was going.

After almost as big as the clock spur the horse finally Leathina to the royal border this time the guard is not as tight as when Leathina out with Adam first. To pass through the guards guarding the border only need to show identification marks on the guards.

Leathina showed her identifying mark in the form of a circular stone engraved with the royal symbol sign that she was a resident of the kingdom. Leathina came out easily while showing her identification and was careful not to let the guard know which family she came from.

It took a day and an night for Leathina to get to where Denisa was exiled by horse and at a relatively fast pace.

Leathina entered the village of exile the people who lived in the village were classified as the first two were people who were indeed natives of the village and the second was people who underwent exile. In the exile village there were not enough facilities and his main job was farming. People in exile are not allowed to leave the village until their sentence is over.

Because the village is an exile village so there is a guard post at the village gate until before entering Leathina must be checked first.

“Take me to an exiled prisoner named Denisa.”

“Alright Miss, I'll show you where she lives.” Said the guard while asking Leathina to follow him.

Along the view is only the plantation and houses of the citizens who are not close to each other after walking far enough to follow the guard they finally arrived at a small cottage that is quite separate from the houses othersmore.

After delivering Leathina the butler back to her guard post at the village gate while Leathina walked towards the door of Leathina's cottage and knocked on it many times but no one opened the door for her.

“Excuse me!”

“Is there anyone?”

“Looks like Denisa's not at home, I'll wait for her to come back.”

Leathina intended to wait for Denisa to return and surround Denisa's cottage to see the situation and while in the backyard of the cottage she saw a woman who looked shabby, shabby, his clothes were dirty filled with soil both his hands were busy scraping the ground and collecting it in one place and beside him the pile of dirt there was a pile of animal feces that seemed to be deliberately stumped there the thick smell was smelled by Leathina although stand a few feet from that pile of shit.

“Krak.”

“Who's there?”

Being too serious about observing the woman in front of her, Leathina did not notice where her feet were stepping and stepped on the dry wooden twig, the sound of the fault being stepped on by Leathina was heard and made the woman turn to find out who entered her yard without permission.

“I-i-this is me Leathina.” Leathina replied hesitantly because she felt bad for interrupting the woman's work.

“Oh, Jeez Her Majesty Princess Leathina.” The woman cried as she left her job to rub her hands full of soil with a anduk hanging from her neck and hurriedly facing Leathina then bowed respectfully to welcome the arrival of Leathina.

“Hai. But, who? Looks like you know me well.” Sapa Leathina hesitated then asked she felt familiar with the face of the woman in front of her but did not want to ever meet where.”

“Greetings, Miss Leathina introduce me Denisa the servant that Miss Leathina forgave.” Denisa replied politely and introduced herself back to Leathina.”

“Oh, God I'm sorry Denisa, I didn't recognize you quickly maybe because I was already lubricated.” Leathina is somewhat awkward because she does not recognize Denisa quickly fearing that Denisa is offended.

“Where was Denisa I saw in the hunting competition first? I barely recognize him now.”

Denisa who used to be one of the servants in the noble house who was quite well-respected, her appearance was neat and clean inversely proportional to Denisa who she saw now. In just a few months Denisa had been difficult to recognize, her hair that he once tied neatly kina just tied a sebrono of her hair, her clothes filled the ground and her face was also exposed to the ground in some parts.

“Not Miss Leathina who is forgetful just that I must have looked very different the last time we met.” Denisa answered Leathina's words.

“Nona should not be here please go back to the front, here dirty and smelly because of the animal feces I collected. I am trying to make organic fertilizer I am now learning to grow crops.”

Denisa took off her gloves and threw them in any direction, hurriedly bringing Leathina back to the front immediately opening the door for Leathina and letting her sit down after going inside.

“I'm sorry Miss Leathina, I will give myself a moment Miss.” Denisa then rushed in.

Not long after Denisa finally returned to the middle room her clothes had changed for the better, her face was whistling and her hair was neat.

“How are you doing staying here Denisa?” Ask Leathina.

Leathina subconsciously observed Denisa back and saw her hands covered with scratches and her nails damaged by doing hard work.

“I'm good miss Leathina, living here in my opinion is quieter than when I lived in the kingdom first.” He replied with a smile, wondering how his life lived in the village of exile.

“Sykurlah. So, what information are you going to report to me Denisa?” Tanya Leathina was serious.

“Alright Miss. I had visited my sister Diane in the dungeon and first of all after discovering that I was saved by my sister Miss Leathina Diane apologized for all the misdeeds and crimes she had committed on Miss Leathina.” Denisa stood up and bowed in front of Leathina.

“Sit back Denisa, I have no intention of forgiving her but for now I don't have much issue with her. Continue your report.”

“Listenasi Miss Leathina still Miss has given kebakian Miss my sister for not worrying about it for now.”

“My sister Denisa informs me that she was instigated by someone who asked her to take revenge on Miss Leathina.”

“Who's the guy did you ask?” Leathina asked enthusiastically listening to Denisa's report.

“Wish me Miss Leathina, my sister Diane didn't tell me her name but my sister gave me some pointers.”

“Alright tell me what the hint is.”

“My sister Denisa had said that “assuming I had not been friends with her since childhood I might not have been incited to betray my master” but when I asked further my sister Denisa seemed to protect her because her friend had someone for him to protect.”

“Did you probably know the person your brother meant?”

“I suspect one person who was a friend of my sister since childhood name Liza she worked for the Baron family and became a personal bodyguard Miss Yasmine, Liza has her sister who is very dear to her. The features my sister Denisa mentioned are the same as Liza. But I don't understand why a person who lives well for serving a gentle family like Madam Amber and her son Miss Yasmine could have such evil intentions.” Denisa said while thinking seriously rethinking her sister's speech trying to find more clues to report to Leathina.

“All right now, listen to Denisa.” Leathina saw Denisa who was in front of her that looked to think so seriously that her eyebrows almost touched due to frowning.

“I'll be back now.” Said Leathina as she got up from her seat.

“After a long trip what should Miss Leathina rest for a while here until the tiredness Miss is gone.” Denisa worries Leathina who is now walking towards the outside door inevitably Denisa finally follows Leathina and escorts her out.

“Thank you for worrying about me, but I'd better get back soon. If you ever see your sister again, say hello and take good care of Denisa.”

“Hands! He was really punished by nature here had to work hard to get a stomach booster. I want to heal his injured hand but it seems better I did not do it and hopefully with a little suffering Denisa can realize his mistake even deeper and not repeat it in the future.”  Leathina again sees Denisa's hands full of scratches but tries to ignore them.

“Attempt many Miss Leathina and be careful on the road.” Denisa said as she leaned over to let Leathina go.
