I'M A Villains In My Second Life
The Chapter 140

“It's enough here!” The life designs that Isabella saw suddenly came to a halt, “You've seen a lot of your past lives that you should have forgotten Isabella.” His words gave Isabella a warning.

Around Isabella suddenly changed and now it had become an endless white room again, there is only her and a dark blue butterfly that sometimes surrounds her and also sometimes perch on Isabella's shoulders or head.

“Don't think that weird you'll never be able to come back.” His words commemorate Isabella again.

“Can't I say goodbye to my father?” Isabella asked in a sad tone hoping that her request would be granted hoping that her guilt for her father would lessen a little.

“I can help you,” Leathina's eyes are round with hope and wonder what her interlocutor will say next.

“But, you can't go there anymore Isabella, there is not your world anymore you have to accept your present situation and try to forget your past, don't be tied up too long.” His words made Isabella look sad again.

“You know, sometimes parting doesn't have to be said. Because it will make them will lose even more.” His words advised Isabella.

Isabella nodded in understanding then shook her head several times to eliminate the desires that she thought would be very late if she said.

“I know,” replied Leathina then back pensive. “But, if someday my father too has died and happened to meet you please convey my gratitude and my apologies to him.” Leathina's words tell her simple wishes.

“I don't promise, but I'll do if I have a chance.” The answer is that it does not give certainty to Isabella.

“Can I ask you one more thing?” leathina asked and her eyes continued to follow where the dark blue butterfly flying around her.

“No!” reply firmly to Isabella, “I won't tell you more.” He then fell on Isabella's shoulder.

“I haven't even said what my request is but you've refused.”

“I won't tell you anything more!”

“Very well,” Isabella sneered but her words were not cared at all by her interlocutor, “When I just wanted to know why Yasmine could change like that, she said, it's a pity that she has such a self-destructive ugly nature, is it because I showed up and she feels threatened that I'm going to take her place?” muttered Leathina and ended by asking herself.

“That's not because of you,” replied the interlocutor Isabella breaking Isabella's daydreams who was now guessing what had really happened. “Do you never hear the saying what you plant then that's what you'll harvest.” He told Isabella.

“You mean what I plant, that's what you reap.” Leathina tried to justify the saying she was told.

“Duh, same is the case so no need to extend.” He defended himself because he did not want to be blamed.

“You know for yourself that Yasmine acted like that with full awareness, no one asked her to be evil like that.” He said again that finally came back serious and told Isabella.

“But usually something happens because there is a trigger factor, and Yasmine becomes evil like that because I changed the story path instead.” Isabella was still feeling a little guilty.

“So because of feeling guilty about him you want to follow your true destiny and die in execution without a fight. If it wants you anyway please then we will meet again later.”

Isabella shook her head quickly, not wanting to follow her predetermined destiny Isabella was determined to live her life as Leathina as best she could.

“Not you are the cause of Isabella, maybe the trigger is because of the greedy nature she has. You never know what other people are thinking or what they are feeling. Humans are complicated creatures to understand, so don't make things difficult for yourself Isabella.”

“Iya I know, thank you for telling me.” Isabella answered and then dismissed her feelings of guilt.

“Well, well it looks like it's time we parted here Isabella.”

“Now?” Isabella looked a little disappointed, as there were still many things she wanted to ask him.

“You want to stay here forever?” He asked when he heard Isabella's question that looked like a disappointed person.

Isabella again shook her head quickly answering the question asked of her, “I want to go back.” He then told her his wish.

“Then you have to go back Isabella.”

“How can I go back?” isabella asked puzzledly because throughout her vision was only a white room that had no end.

“Someone will lead you back, wait a little while. But for now try to find your own way out if you want to really come back.” He told Isabella.

“Oh yes, my message is the same as our first meeting. Don't be too quick to die or give up trying first and see you again hopefully we won't meet in a short time.” His speech ended then after that the butterfly that had flown around Isabella slowly turned into grains of blue sand and then disappeared in the air because it was carried by the wind.

For hours Isabella had been searching for a way back for her but she still could not find a way that could bring her back all she saw was an endless white room with a light that dazzled her eyes.

“It looks like I'll be stuck here long enough.” Isabella muttered while sitting herself in the middle of the place because she found nothing. “I'll wait for someone to lead me.” He then sat down and hugged his knees.

...

Upon returning from the Yarnell family residence, Edward immediately told his servant to give Aelfric a room to rest while he stayed in his castle while Edward himself immediately returned to his room.

Edward sat on a cushion-lined chair and ruffled his hair until it fell apart.

Tok.

Suddenly there was a knock from the door that connected his room with the balcony, Edward, who had just sat down, immediately stood back up and walked towards the balcony door of his room to open it because he knew who was knocking on the door now.

“Trak”

Edward opened the balcony door and saw three of his subordinates, Adam, Troy, and Nina, standing on the balcony waiting for him to open the balcony door for the three of them.

“Greetings Mr Ed’.” Greet the three almost simultaneously after Edward opened the balcony door and met the three of them.

“How?” Edward asked coldly, and immediately asked the three subordinates a question.

Hearing the cold question from Edward they all just fell silent not daring to answer and instead looked down, not daring to see Edward because the mission given to them directly by Edward failed because it did not succeed in finding Yasmine.

“So you guys failed to find it ya.” Edward muttered when he saw the response of his three subordinates did not look good upon hearing his question.

“Inspect us sir.” The three spoke almost simultaneously and still did not dare to look at Edward.

“Report!” said Edward and gave a little emphasis on his words so that the three did not let their guard down.

“we followed the patches of blood that led into the black forest, a clue that Mr. Edward told us. But when following the trail goes deeper into the black forest suddenly in our search appears a black fog that inhibits the search.” Troy reported what had happened during the search that the three of them had done.

“So you guys stopped searching just because it was blocked by fog?” edward asked and made the three of them a little anxious to fear if Edward punished the three of them.

“T-no sir, we continue the search to enter the black forest.” Nina replied hesitantly because she was scared.

“So what happened?” Edward asked his three subordinates again because they were not satisfied with the report they had told him.

“We again continue the search into the black forest following the blood spots as our reference trail,” said Adam then again reported to Edward.

“But in the midst of our search, the bloodstains we followed as a clue suddenly disappeared no longer visible blood spots or traces of traces of traces on human feet. However, as the three of us investigated the mysterious disappearance of Yasmine's tracks we realized that around the disappearance of the tracks we followed many broken branches and some claw marks on the branches of the trees even some trees are broken or broken. ” Adam tells us what really happened inside the black forest.

“We suspect that the injured Yasmine has attracted the attention of animals or monsters occupying the black forest and captured her, so now most likely Yasmine has died attacked by animals or ferocious monsters.” Troy told Edward his speculation.

“That's just your guess, you didn't see the squad or see firsthand that Yasmine was attacked by a beast or a beast.” Edward replied that he did not want to directly accept the opinions of his three subordinates.

Adam, Troy, and Nina confirmed Edward's words that none of them saw Yasmine's body or saw Yasmine being attacked by wild animals directly in the black forest.

“Alright I have heard your report, tomorrow Winter will send the soldiers to the black forest to look for Yasmine. You infiltrate and disguise yourself as one of the soldiers Winter sent and then come with them to find Yasmine's presence in the black forest.” Edward gives new orders to Adam, Troy, and Nina.

“Will we do sir Ed’.” Adam, Troy, and Nina answered almost simultaneously.

“Alright, for now return to your inn to rest.”

The three nodded in understanding with what was said by Edward then they jumped and quickly disappeared from Edward's presence.

After the three had left Edward then immediately went inside his room and closed the balcony door again. Dropped himself in a long pillow-lined chair then rubbed his face rough.
