I'M A Villains In My Second Life
Chapter 131

“Excuse Miss Leathina, good night.” Sapa a man who suddenly greeted Leathina to make Leathina undo her intention to pull her dagger and attack the person who followed her.

“My food was eaten I just need to pretend to get into their trap.” Inner Leathina then turned around and smiled kindly looking at the man who had been following her since earlier.

Leathina just looked at the man who followed her without returning his greeting, seeing the man who came to her had brought two glasses of alcohol in her hand.

“Oh, I'm sorry for the disrespect I've done to you Miss Leathina. My name is Thomas, I am the eldest son of the grand duke Alcott.” Thomas introduced himself politely then bowed slightly and immediately stood up straight so that the alcohol he was holding did not spill.

“It looks like you deliberately followed me until here.” Leathina asked probingly trying to corner Thomas who was standing quietly before her.

“Like butterflies looking for nectar of a flower, of course I follow you who look very charming Miss Leathina.”

“He is good at using his mouth.” Inner Leathina when she heard what Thomas had just said.

“I'm sorry but honestly you look like a moth in my eyes.” Leathina's flat tone showed her disinterest in the seduction coming out of Thomas' mouth.

“It is my honor Miss, at least I am still visible in Miss Leathina's wide eyes and as blue as the sky.”

“Ah, I'm really sick of hearing her seduction. I wonder how many women have broken their wings with her seduction.”

“Thanks for the compliment Mr. Thomas.”

“You can call me Thomas, Miss Leathina.”

“Good Thomas.”

“Thank you Miss Leathina, want to drink a glass of alcohol to calm the mind?” he said while showing two glasses of alcohol that he had brought since. “It looks like Miss Leathina's mood is being messed up because of the incident earlier.” He then gave Leathina one of the glasses of alcohol in her hand.

“So you saw it?” Leathina asked while taking the drink that Thomas had offered her.

“Of course I saw it, everyone even thought of the incident as quite an interesting spectacle.”

“You can forget it for me, Thomas.” Leathina then drank the alcohol Thomas gave her.

“As I expected.”

After drinking the alcohol given Thomas Leathina began to feel dizzy in her head and then her eyes began to blur.

“Brak”

Leathina dropped the glass that was still a little alcohol in it because it could no longer maintain the balance of her body and slowly her vision that had blurred was now completely dark.

At the end of her consciousness Leathina faintly saw Thomas' smiling face looking at her. "You're gonna pay ten times what you did." Leathina's inner self before her consciousness completely dispelled and still had time for her to feel Thomas arrest her.

“Hap”

Thomas catches Leathina's body on the verge of falling and immediately lifts Leathina's body and holds her up and takes her away.

Thomas went to the rest room of the guests, then looking for an empty room and after finding it Thomas immediately went inside putting Leathina's body on a cushion-lined chair carefully then immediately returned to the door and locked her from the inside.

“Dark once.” Thomas muttered then lit a candle to illuminate the room he occupied.

Thomas brought the candle closer to Leathina's face, which looked like she was asleep rather than unconscious.

“Beauty once.” He muttered as he watched Leathina's face from a very close distance, “I can't believe the first prince didn't want her and instead liked the woman, just calm down I won't waste you Miss Leathina.” He then put a candle nearby so he could see clearly then pay attention to the dress worn by Leatina. Thomas saw the rope tied to Leathina's back then began to untie her one by one.

...

“Nona, Miss, Miss Leathina where are you?” Anne murmured around the main Hall in search of the Nonanya.

“I've been looking for her in her room and in the rest room but I still can't find you Miss Leathina.” Anne was riled up when she couldn't find Leathina anywhere.

“Anne listen to me.” Anne recalled what Leathina had told her when she helped Leathina prepare for the party.

“What's Miss Leathina?” Anne asked who saw Leathina looking very serious.

“When the party is going on there may be a man who will kill me or kiss me.”

“Tak”

Anne dropped the items in her hand as she was shocked to hear what Leathina said.

“I will tell Mr. Duke immediately to send a guard to Miss Leathina, I will also..” Anne quickly walked out of Leathina's room to report to Duke Leonard but Leathina quickly stopped her and shook her head to prevent Anne from going to report.

“T-but-why?” Anne asked in confusion mixed with fear.

“Do not do that, I intend to capture it.”

“Various in case something happens with Miss Leathina.”

“That won't happen look,” Leathina showed a dagger at Anne who a hid behind her dress. “With this I can certainly protect myself.” Leathina calms Anne, who still looks panicked.

“Ta-but Miss.” Said Anne who was still frightened.

“You doubt my ability.”

Quickly Anne shook her head answering Leathina's question, “of course not, Miss is the first female swordsman in the kingdom.” The connection again, made Leathina smile because she saw Anne's expression was now back excited because she talked about Leathina's ability.

“You said you would help me right?” Tanya Leathina and avenged a nod by Anne.

“So what now do you want to help me?” ask Leathina again.

“Of course for Miss Leathina I can do anything.”

“Anne if you don't see me in the main hall then immediately go to look for me, don't ask others for help just you are the one who is looking for me, you understand?”

“I understand Miss.”

“Good.”

“Continue after I find you?”

“Remember they will definitely take me to a closed room so if you finally find me don't just barge in or make a sound, please, go back to the main hall and pretend like you heard a scream and have people follow you to the room I am in.”

“Well I understand Miss, but how do I know that the one in the room is Miss Leathina?” Anne asked in confusion.

“I'll leave a mark for you, just relax you can definitely find you. Can I count on you Anne?” leathina asked again to confirm Anne's willingness.

“Of course you can count on me, I will definitely do the best for Miss Leathina.”

After remembering the conversation between herself and Leathina made Anne even more panicked and frightened.  Anne feared that she could not find Leathina and that Leathina was hurt by her incompetence in carrying out what Leathina had entrusted to her.

With a look of worry on her face, Anne continued to wander around the room in search of Leathina. Determined to find Leathina before anything bad happens to Leathina.
