I'M A Villains In My Second Life
Chapter 138's

“Arkh! Release!” there was the sound of Aelfric shouting like he was rebelling because he was caught by someone.

The sound of Aelfric's cry seemed to be in revolt because something broke the silence that had occurred for quite a long time since Zeyden spoke.

All the eyes of the people in Leathina's room were then turned towards the door as they heard Aelfric's voice the longer it became clear.

“Edward!” chanting Winter when he saw Edward now standing in the doorway dragging Aelfric with him, Edward dragged him like dragging a sack of wheat to make Aelfric continue to rebel because of it.

“What's up?” Duke Leonard asked as Edward had entered the room and saw Leathina who still had not opened her eyes.

“I found the culprit of this problem, he forced his way in and acted outside, he said,” Said Edward then released his grip that held the collar of the back of Aelfric's shirt to make Aelfric almost fall forward when Edward finally let go.

“How about Yasmine?” Ask Duke Leonard.

Edward shook his head weakly, “He managed to escape into the black forest,” He said as he walked closer to the side of the bed to see Leathina's condition even closer.

“I will soon send out warriors to search for Yasmine inside the black forest,” Winter told Duke Leonard then only replied with a nod.

"Happy for Leathina?" Edward asked, but suddenly Aelfric returned.

“Lea?!” Aelfric's scream when he saw Leathina lying like a dead man on a bed after that immediately approached Leathina, “Leathina!” His cry again tried to wake Leathina up.

“Argh! Release!” Aelfric exclaimed as suddenly Nicholas and Nora almost simultaneously pulled him back away from Leathina until he fell to the floor.

Aelfric did not give up and went back to his feet to be able to approach Leathina but this time Edward was the one who confronted him and clutched his back collar to look like a kitten who continued to rebel when held.

“Let me touch it! I just want to check it out.” Aelfric said resignedly because this time Edward gripped it so strong that breathing was difficult to make.

“You want to check it or want to kill it!” Nicholas said sarcasm when he heard what Aelfric said considering how bar-barred Aelfric's attitude when he just entered and when he approached Leathina he instead shouted.

“I don't see life anymore in his body, you know part of our nation can see a person's soul.” Aelfric told everyone to trust him and for Edward to let go of his grip.

“If you leave him like that maybe he will die,” Murmured Aelfric while folding both his hands in front of his chest because no one would want to believe what he said.

He eventually resigned because Edward always treated him unfairly. Aelfric folded his hands with a frown.

“Hei! Oi! What are you doing fucking!” Aelfric shouted suddenly as Edward lightly lifted him up by pulling the collar of his back again.

“If what you say is true then check it out!” Edward said as he lowered Aelfric right on the side of Leathina's bed.

Edward does not look like a curse Aelfric but looks like a person who tote goods when he lifted Aelfric in relation because Aelfric's body is smaller than him so it is easy for Edward to drag him or break him like moving groceries.

“Uhuk! Uhuk!” Aelfric coughed as Edward finally let go of her as it choked on the collar of his own shirt which Edward pulled from behind.

Aelfric rubbed his neck as he still felt a bit of pain then looked at the people around him and saw that everyone had been looking at him with looks filled with hope.

“K-a-lian don't expect too much from me,” he said nervously because he saw everyone who looked very hopeful for him while he was still unsure of his own abilities.

“You must find a way out otherwise I will make you a slave for the rest of your life!” Edward threatens then his threat is supported by Nicholas and Nora who are now staring at Aelfric intensely.

"Why should I obey you!" Aelfric said in no order to Edward, "You'll regret it after I report your treatment of me to my uncle." Aelfric threatens Edward but Edward does not care much about Aelfric's words.

“Quick do Mr. Aelfric, we sincerely hope for you,” said Duchess Nice who pleaded for Aelfric's help.

“Good madam Duchess, I will help you as much as I can,” Reply Aelfric when the Duchess asked him by pleading with her.

“Do not do as you can but should be able to!” Edward cutting Aelfric's words made Aelfric snort angrily but this time did not dare to retaliate fearing Edward pulling back the collar of his backside shirt again and dragging it around like an item.

Aelfric finally began to examine Leathina's state then slowly closed his eyes and brought her face closer towards Leathina.

“Argh!” when suddenly pulled and thrown back.

Aelfric rubbed his ailing panties from landing hard on the floor he saw everyone now staring at him furiously.

This time not only Edward pulled the collar from behind but also Duke Leonard, Winter and Nicholas also pulled it simultaneously and even threw it like an item to the back.

“What will you do to sister Leathina!” nora shouted then covered Leathina's face with her hands like a mother trying to protect her eggs.

“I just want to check Leathina's state!” screams of emotion while trying to stand back up, “What do you think I'll do to her when you're all here!” he said again and tidied up his clothes which are now messy due to the actions of the people who pulled him earlier.

“You tried to touch Leathina wasn't it weird when you brought your face closer to a woman.” Duke Leonard's words blocked Aelfric's view to see Leathina.

“I said I just wanted to check it out!” aelfric shouted as everyone continued to look at him strangely.

“What you guys do!” snarled Duchess Nice made everyone turn their faces the other way, “I'm sorry for their actions Mr. Aelfric, I beg you check on my daughter again.” The Duchess said as she invited Aelfric back to Leathina.

Aelfirc glanced at the men who were now surrounding him, “If you pull me back then you must take responsibility if anything happens to Leathina for being late for help!” Threaten him while staring at all the spies who continue to see him with a strange look from earlier.

Aelfric brought his face closer to Leathina's face and stopped when the two men met and Aelfric slowly closed his eyes and focused on what he was doing, then a golden yellow light enveloped the two bodies and a dazzling glimpse into the eyes of those who saw it.

“Leathina!” aelfric exclaimed then immediately opened his eyes and then sat up straight back.

A cold sweat enveloped Aelfric as he was shocked after looking inside Leathina.

“What happened?!” everyone asked almost at the same time as they saw an expression that looked extremely shocked.

“Leathina's body is empty there is no soul in it, she fell in eternal sleep.” Aelfric began to explain what he knew after looking inside Leathina.

“And again ..” Aelfric did not continue his words and looked at Leathina with a sad and concerned look.

“Why with my daughter?” Duke Leonard asked worried about Leathina.

“The container of his soul is cracked, actually Leathina lived like what all this time to continue to soak her own emotions and make a container that should be sturdy soul can crack that bad?”

“He has never received affection from anyone all this time!” Ucam Edward suddenly answered Aelfric's question.

Edward's words were very painful to hear by Duke Leonard and the others, his heart seemed to be plugged in something very sharp. He did not dare to rebut or scold Edward who spoke so harshly that Duke Leonard could only resign and accept the pain of his regret for Leathina.

“A-what can I do to bring her back?” Duke Leonard asked stammeredly.

“Umm ..” Aelfic thought hard to find the right answer to Duke Leonard's question asked for him.

“I saw something!” aelfric suddenly.

“What? What are you looking at?” Asked Winter who was no less worried about the others.

“When looking inside Leathina's body I realized something and at the same time I also saw something interesting.” Aelfric then fell silent recalling something quite loudly.

“What is it?” The Duchess asked Aelfric, curious and hopeful about what Aelfric would say next.

“I realized that Leathina's soul color was dark I could barely see anything just now, But I saw a speck of light that seemed to be Leathina's life axis still left behind. I checked but I'm not sure if it belonged to Leathina or not as if there was a difference between the two.”

Aelfric was confused by his own words could not be sure what exactly he had seen, when Aelfric tried to remember back he still could not find the truth.

“Is there nothing else you can say other than to confuse people like that?” Edward asked because he felt he was not fasting with the answer given by Aelfric.

“Shut up!” snapped Aelfric who finally made a fuss with Edward again, the nature of the two did not match and every meeting with Edward would definitely lead to a feud that has no end.

“What is there nothing more we can do to bring Leathina back?” Duke Leonard's questioning brought the quarrel between Aelfric and Edward to a standstill.

“I'm not sure this will help, but ..” Aelfric replied then thought he was hesitant to say the solution “My uncle might be able to help situations like this, he always knows everything because it has been a long life, he said,” Aelfric finally revealed the solution but his face was like saying that it was not a good solution.

“Can we bring your uncle here?” winter asked carefully when she saw Aelfric's face that didn't look good after talking about his uncle.

“Maybe it could just be that my uncle has not been out of our territory for decades, you know his temperament is very bad even worse than that guy, you know,” Aelfric spoke while pointing at Edward made Edward immediately walk up to him to pull his collar again.

Aelfric who knew what was going to happen to her immediately ran away as Edward walked towards her.

“What is your uncle? Is he one of the great elders of the elves?” Ask Winter again then block the footsteps of Edward who is still running to pursue where Aelfric went.

“Iya can be said like that, but sometimes his position can be lower than the great elders,” replied Aelfric after Winter helped him stop Edward.

“Alright if it is the only way to be able to return Leathina then I will go to the territory of the elves to ask for help. “Duke Leonard intends to go to the region of the elves to ask the uncle referred by Aelfric, “After all I have one old friend there, hopefully he will help me to save my daughter Leathina.” The real Inner Duke Leonard felt unsure of himself.

“Dad I will also come with you.” Nicholas offers himself to come to the territory of the elves.

“No Nicholas, you stay in the kingdom guard your sister Leathina, mother and also your sister Nora.” Said Duke Leonard disapprovingly, “And as long as I have no one you are the head of the Yarnell family for a while, do not let my position empty behave as the leader.” The words of Duke Leonard could not be denied by Nicholas, although he was eager to join to help but what was said by his father was also very important.

“Then I will escort you, uncle.” Winter also proposes to join Duke Leonard.

“No Winter, your position should not be empty either. Stay here and take care of them for me to help Nicholas carry out his duties as temporary head of the family.”

“Good uncle, I understand.” Winter also could not argue what was said by Duke Leonard, finally he resigned and chose to stay by Leathina's side.

“I will also take Aelfric home to his homeland, so I have a reason to visit the territory of the Elves who reportedly very difficult to accept foreign races into their territory.”

“Duke I don't want to go home!” shouted Aelfric refuting the decision that had been made by Duke Leonard, “Let me also stay here guarding Leathina!” Say it while squeezing.

“If you are going there as diplomatic relations then I will come with you Duke.” Edward decided to go with himself.

“Alright prince, thank you for being willing to help.” Duke Leonard replied after Edward declared he would also go with him. Because his existence would definitely be of great help since he was one of the princes and would-be successors of the kingdom and of course they would not dare to reject him.

“No, no, I don't want to go home if I have to travel for days with him.” Aelfric disagreed because Edward was also with them.

“We'll leave tomorrow, you go home to prepare for Edward.” Duke Leonard decided to immediately go to the territory of the elves as quickly as possible.

“Alright,” Prince Edward said before returning to the kingdom he also did not forget to take Aelfric with him.

“Hei! Oi! Bren*hd! Why did you pull my collar again.” Aelfric cried out in emotion as Edward again treated him like an item again.

“You must return with me to the kingdom because you will be discharged tomorrow officially.” Edward answered and still pulled the collar on Aelfric's back.

“No! Nah! You brought me for sure because you wanted to torture me, right!” Shouts disagree, “Let me stay here! I want to stay here, Duke I beg you to stop this fool, I beg Duke!”

Aelfric continued to rebel begging the duke to ask Edward to let him go but Edward kept dragging him along with him no matter what Aelfric still continued to rebel wanted to stay in the mansion of the Yarnell family residence.

“You're too noisy boy!” edward muttered then stopped his steps and raised his hand.

“Alright! All righty! I'll shut up!” aelfirc shouted as he looked at Edward holding his hand. “I promise I won't be noisy and follow you quietly so don't make me faint again by beating me, you know it hurts you should try it yourself if you don't.” Aelfirc closed his own mouth tightly as Edward glared at him and kept his promise of silence and calmness.

After Aelfric had truly become a quiet and obedient child. Edward then resumed his journey to his horse-drawn carriage to return to the kingdom.
