I'M A Villains In My Second Life
Chapter 124

It had been almost four hours that Leathina spurred her horse after leaving the lair of the bandits and once an hour Leathina stopped to rest, soon she would finally arrive at the kingdom according to her plan. But before that Leathina took the time to write a letter and send it to Adam at the headquarters of the shadow army of one of the most famous mercenary unions in their field.

“Hopefully Adam and the others have not travelled to the kingdom due to the invitation they received and can read my letter immediately.” He murmured as he downed the glass of water he had previously ordered at one of the food stalls he stopped by to rest.

“I must immediately continue my journey and check if Emely has sent me a report letter.”

After finishing a piece of meat sandwich and a glass of water,  and his horse had also been rested and fed and drank by the owner of Leathina shop again to travel back before he gave some gold pieces as payment for taking care of his horse and then immediately continue his journey.

Leathina had seen the royal gate from a distance nothing had changed and her guard was still the same at the time she departed. Leathina spurred her horse faster after a little closer then she again slowed down her path and queued for a check before re-entry into the kingdom.

When her turn came, Leathina showed her identification sign indicating that she was one of the people of the kingdom of Coniferland and after completion of the examination later Leathina would continue her journey back.

“Grak”

“Tak”

“Awwpp”

There was the sound of a train stopping right behind Leathina and conducting an examination before entering the kingdom. The sound of impact sounded quite loud came from inside the wooden box that was pulled by the train because the train stopped suddenly.

In the beginning there was nothing strange about the horse carriage carrying such a big box behind it, the sound of the impact could have occurred because the goods inside moved or fell but what caught Leathina's attention was that she had heard a screaming sound that then immediately fell silent again.

Because it managed to make Leathina curious Leathina finally sharpened her sense of hearing and tried to re-hear the sound from inside the wooden box.

“Please continue your journey Miss!” one of the soldiers shouted at Leathina for blocking the queue.

“Gosh.” He was shocked to hear the sudden screams from the soldier for focusing too much on the wooden box behind him.

Before leaving Leathina turned her head to briefly apologize to the people lining up behind her because she was obstructing the inspection she also apologized to the coachman who pulled the horse carriage behind her the opportunity she used to I saw the face of the man who was carrying the wooden box.

“Hiap”

Leathina kicked slowly behind her horse to walk and then continued on her way back.

“Klotak”

“Klotak”

"Tak”

Leathina finally arrived at the town square and intended to rest for a while but as she was about to enter the bar by the roadside Leathina saw the horse carriage she had seen just now as it was across the border rushing past herhambur to sound again when accidentally stepped on the stone and the wooden box behind him was shaken. This time Leathina did not hear a human voice and only heard the sound of the impact of things.

“Wait for it..”

As the wooden box pulled by the horse passed by the ledge in front of her, Leathina saw a green eyeball that glinted from the blemish in the wooden box.

“Elves?” Leathina continued her disconnected words.

Leathina canceled her intention to rest and then immediately ran towards where she kept her horse and immediately jumped on it and followed the horse carriage that had almost disappeared from sight. He followed where the train was taking the creature's steps away.

“Why is there an Elf race smuggled isn't it illegal?” Inner Leathina while continuing to follow the horse carriage that was in front of her.

It took over an hour for the train followed by Leathina to reach its destination. The horse-drawn carriage entered a hut around which was filled with lush trees until it was difficult to see and there were no houses in the hut that seemed quite remote and far from the surrounding residents' residence.

Leathina turned to enter the forest and hid her horse there after sneaking close to the house made of wood.

“Trek”

“Tak”

“Aww”

A creaking sound was heard when the wooden box was lifted and moved into the hut and followed by a clashing sound when the wooden box was placed in an unscrupulous place and the sound of screams came back someone who seemed to be in pain from inside the wooden box.

“Stupid man! You'll be punished for what you did.”                             

“PLAK!”

There was another sound of someone rebelling but it ended in a slap and then silence. There was only the sound of the foot of the coachman and two other people moving other things.

“Have been acted all that?” ask someone to the coachman.

“Already Mr.”

“Alright thank you coachman.” Reply to the man who came to greet him earlier and helped him move the goods that came inside.

“This time your work is also good, I will send your payment to your beloved family.” Said the man while grinning and pulled out his sword.

“Tu - Master What's the max of i-this? I-I can directly take my payment and leave Mr.” immediately Asked the coachman in fear as the man drew his sword and continued to draw closer to him the coachman continued to retreat away from him but unfortunately there was no place for him to move away from the wall that was blocking him.

“Unfortunately the item you brought this time is very secret and you have found out, it is dangerous if the person who knows that we are subduing the elf race continues to live and roam.” Said the man while closing the driver's eyes with his left hand and his right hand slapped a stab right in the coachman's chest.

“Srek.”

“Hekk” Pekik the coachman held back the pain then slowly weakened and the lunglai fell down, blood immediately flowing from the hole in his chest.

“Clean the body and help me get this creature out.” Said one of the people who had been busy with the items carried by the coachman.

The body of the coachman was put in a sack and then tied up and placed into an empty wooden box where the goods were stored.

“Help me get it out.”

“You hit him too hard to make him faint.” Reply to the man who was there after cleaning up the body of the coachman.

“You do not act with compassion even though your own tag is still filled with blood after killing.” Reply with a grunt.

They both stuck someone's body out of the box and chained both his legs and hands and tied them to a pole so they could not escape.

“Wah, what a coincidence.” Leathina muttered when she saw the two men who had exclaimed someone from the wooden box that had previously closed the box was opened.

Leathina saw the two people who had taken out all the contents of the boxes that the coachman had brought in besides the elf race there were also some other rare creatures that turned out to be smuggled and some people who seemed to be will be made a slave.

“Hold them I'll give you a sign of ownership.” Said the man who is now standing in front of the fireplace sabil memegan iron that the tip is cross-shaped and now looks reddish because it slightly memui due to the heat of the fire.

“ARGHHH!” Strangled the people as the cross-shaped hot iron touched their skin leaving twelve burns. They are all marked on the stomach so as not to be seen.

“Hold him.” Said the man who was carrying a hot iron while pointing at the elven race that was still unconscious.

The elf felt himself touched by someone then slowly opened his eyes and saw a man who was holding him firmly until he could not move and another man standing in front of him carrying the iron tip has been heated with fire until it looks reddish.

“Let go, don't fuck me! Dirty man!” He strangled her and tried to rebel against the two men who were restraining her.

“Aww! Damn it, she, this stupid elf bit me.”

“He's a strong rider I'll mark him.”

“But he's muttered in rebellion, I'll make him faint again.”

“Do not, let him feel the pain of being hit by hot iron. Hold him tight.”

“ARGGHHH!” The screams of the elves whose stomach was cross-marked with hot iron filled the entire room until they finally regained consciousness as they could not stand the heat and pain felt in his stomach.

“It's done, it's the last one.”

“Come back, Master ordered to keep all these items after his business is done.”

“Alright, let's go.”

“Brak”

“Clek”

After the sound of the door creaking and the sound of the door locked the atmosphere in the room returned to silence only a groan of pain that was occasionally heard withstanding the pain and pain due to the sign given by the two people.

“No impeccable and all windows locked.” Murmured Leathina who had seen the blemish and fumbled through the window but there was nothing she could pass to get inside.

“Ah, up.” He muttered again while taking out his sword from the sheath and prying the window at the very back so as not to suspect that someone had opened it.

“Clak”

“Trek”

After successfully prying the window came a squeaking sound when Leathina opened it, apparently because the window she chose had not been opened long enough to cause a squeaking sound when opened.

“Hap”

Leathina leapt in and slowly surrounded all the items to observe them and saw the people who had been marked.

Leathina's eyes were interested in observing the race of elves who were still unconscious she then crouched down in front of her and undressed to look at her injured stomach.

The smell of charred flesh was rattled and smelled by Leathina and as it could not bear Leathina quickly closed it back down.

“That woman! It looks like this was also.” Leathina muttered then examined the body parts of the elf race out of curiosity.

“This is the first time for me to see the nation of fairies directly unfortunately what I see is not as elegant as those in the movies, this one is a bit sad.”

Leathina held the long hair of the elf race that was still unconscious, her hair was green and slightly lighted after Leathina's pusa then re-touched her taper-shaped ears in contrast to ordinary human ears.

Sensing someone touching her body the elf blinked her eyes and slowly opened it she saw a young woman crouching in front of her.

“But stay beautiful.” Leathina muttered again after seeing the face of the elves up close as well as her green eyes that also gave off a hint of light.

“Who are you!” Asked the elf stammering while trying to endure the pain in his stomach.

“Oh, Hi!” Sapa Leathina was friendly while opening her headscarf and smiling so as not to frighten her.

“Plak”

“Si-next of your filthy hands from my body! Or you'll I'll kill!” he brushed Leathina's hand, which was still touching her taper ear, then threatened her and stayed away from Leathina.

“Oh Gosh so it's true that the elves are temperament.” Leathina muttered while holding her chin and thinking hard.

“Alright, calm yourself first I'll see the others.” Leathina left the Elf and walked over to the people who were also moaning to endure the pain in her stomach.

“Quiet, quiet, I'll just see your wound.” Leathina approached the wounded slowly and did not force to build trust first because they still looked very frightened and after they wanted to be touched by Leathina then Leathina tried to treat her.

“Nah is done.” Leathina said after treating them.

“Te-thanks Miss.” They were grateful but looked scared.

“I'm sorry that I didn't heal you completely, I need a cross that's on your body as proof.” Leathina did not cure them completely, but the cross marks from the hot iron stamps still looked reddish but the pain was not as painful as before.

“What Miss will free us?” Ask them again with hope.

“Of course I will set you free, I will even avenge you on the man who has done something like this to all of you.” Leathina replied with a grin and then ended up sad.

“For now if the bad guys came again to check your situation pretend to be in pain and don't let them see your wounds if you don't want to be suspected and my plan will fail.”

“Good Miss.”

“Oh, jeez I almost forgot.” Leathina patted her eel clapping the elf she had not healed yet. “Hey, why are you so quiet?” Leathina asked the Elf who was now silent and closed her eyes.

“Oh, your body is hot. This must be because of the wound that was in your first.” Leathina touched the elf's eel and felt the heat.

Leathina quickly treated him until his fever receded and his wound improved but he did not heal completely.

Now the Elf in front of Leathina had gradually improved and had opened her eyes again.

“So Miss Elf don't you have the power why don't you use it to fight? You ended up in the hands of these weak people." Leathina asked as the elves could already sit by themselves.

“They tricked me, and I couldn't use my power because of this chain. This chain is specially made to curb the power of the elves.” Reply to the elf who had calmed down a little.

“So like that yeah, forgive my mistake Miss elf.”

“Means don't make conclusions before knowing the truth.” Answer the elf sarcas.

“Oh yes Miss elf...

“STOP CALLING ME MISS! I'M NOT MISS, I'M A BOY!” The elf snapped at Leathina because she felt annoyed and kept calling Miss.

“I'm sorry, I must be wrong because your face is so pretty.” Leathina apologized by berusha holding back her laughter so as not to explode due to misrecognizing her gender.

“So mr elf I ak..”

“AELFRIC!” His impact again traumatized Leathina to speak.

“Jeez he's really grumpy.” Inner Leathina and ending with covering her own mouth.

“Sorry?” Leathina asked after a long silence.

“Aelfric! My name is Aelfric, not the elves and Miss Elf or the elf lord. Remember my name well A.E.L.F.R.I.C.meaning the ruler of the fairies you should be honored to know my name.”

“Ba-well A-e-lfri-c.” Leathina stammered in disbelief hearing Aelfric introduce himself to the narcissist in front of her.

“Then I will return now take good care of yourself, I will keep my promise then for now fight for yourself.” Leathina immediately stood up and intended to return soon.

“Wait a minute!” Shouted Aelfric intercepting Leathina.

“What's up?”

“Can you take me with you?” Aelfric asked with compassion on Leathina.

“I'm sorry Aelfric, for now I can't take you but I will keep my promise. You wait for me to send someone to save you. Leathina said as she touched Aelfric's cheeks to ask for trust and tell him to be patient for longer.

“Eh! Why is your face flushed? Have you had a fever again.” Leathina asked suddenly when she realized that both of Aelfric's cheeks were red.

“I, I'm fine. Remove your filthy hands from my face human!” He shouted again while staying away from Leathina.

“Alright then I will really go see you and hope you guys are okay when we meet again.” Leathina said as she walked away and half her body had come out of the window.

“Wait! Wait a minute!” Call Aelfric again to stop Leathina.

“What else is Aelfric?” Leathina asked annoyed at being stopped by Aelfric while she had to come back before the two men realized her existence.

“Si-who's name? I mean tell me what's your name? It's order!” Ask Aelfric.

“Gosh look at that way of speaking, like a foetus. Not knowing the place and circumstances to rule. Inner Leathina and shook her head a few times then smiled as Aelfric sounded ridiculous.

“I Leathina.” Leathina answered briefly. “Leathina Yarnell.” Leathina again told Aelfric her full name and then put on her headscarf and immediately went out and closed the window that was in his absence tightly.

Leathina observed the surroundings first before moving then immediately walked towards where she kept her horse.

From a distance he saw his horse was still in the same place in a hurry Leathina walked towards him jumping up and then spurred him to leave the cabin containing contraband.

 “Hiap” Leathina drives her horse even faster.

While already in the area that has been seen many residential Leathina cross paths with the two criminals who are now walking back to the cottage. Leathina spurred her horse so that the two men did not see her face.

“Newly this time I saw adventurers passing through this area.” Murmured the man who walked back to the cottage.

“Leave it alone, after all teach if someone goes through this street. This is the only road leading to the city.” Answer the colleague who heard the words of his friend.

The two of them then went back on their way back to the hut without thinking about the adventurer who had passed them earlier.
