I'M A Villains In My Second Life
Chapter 154's

“Is there no way to help both of them?” edward asked after laying down the aelfric next to Leathina.

“We just need to trust fully in aelfric, for now we can only wait for him until they both come back.”

“Are you sure, uncle? That there is nothing we can do to support the aelfric to make it easier in nature there?” ask winter who is also worried about the condition of both of them are full of uncertainty.

“Nothing, before we return the delfa commemorate me that the only way to help both is to keep their bodies both well so that their souls can return.”

“If so then there is nothing else we can do, other than wishing the best for both of them.” The duchess nice said then rubbed the nora's back gently as her youngest son seemed to be about to cry soon after hearing her father's explanation.

They all had no other choice but to patiently wait for Aelfric and Leathina to return to their consciousness.

“Uncle Leonard,” call Winter politely on duke leonard after a long silence to wait for Aelfric to wake up.

“What's up, Winter?” duke leonard asked winter who had now been standing right beside him.

“There are important things that I should immediately tell you.” He whispered a little so as not to attract the attention of others.

“Can't it be later after Leathina wakes up?” duke Leonard replied that he was reluctant to leave Leathina because he wanted to wait for her until he woke up.

“I'm sorry uncle but you really should know this as soon as”

“Alright, I get it.” Duke leonard said.

“We'd better talk in uncle Leonard's office.”

“Good, let's go there.”

The two of them then walked out of the leathina room and moved to the duke leonard's office.

“You both handled these important affairs well,” said duke leonard after entering his work room that he had long left and he also saw the piles of documents that had been done by nicholas and assisted by winter.

“Thank you uncle, this is all due to guidance from uncle leonard.”

“So, what important things are you going to report to me winter?” duke Leonard who had now turned very serious then immediately sat on the chair opposite to the winter who had now sat right in front of him.

“Uncle I have done a search in the black forest to find out where Yasmine is but strangely we can not find anything or any clues that could be a clue for us to know the location of yasmine yang actually.” Winter's words began to tell him what had happened after the departure of duke leonard towards the eastern forest.

“This is strange, it is not clear that Yasmine and Leathina were at the border of the forest and when we arrived Edward who was chasing yasmine and ended up entering into the black forest.”

“Iya uncle but we really did not find Yasmine there, what was even worse was that after the entry of yasmine into the black forest it seemed to wreak havoc until the black forest became shaken there were even some of our soldiers who were hit by its attack. They seemed to be in a state of fear and ended up leaving their own territory.”

“Are there any monsters or animals from the black forest that enter the kingdom or attack the inhabitants?” duke leonard asked a little worried about the state of the population.

“Fortunately they did not cross the border and enter the kingdom, it seems like they passed another path after coming out of the black forest.”

“So so, deserve it.” Duke Leonard muttered softly after listening to the report from winter.

“What's uncle?” winter asked curiously as it seemed that duke leonard also knew something regarding what had happened within the black forest.

“We also met a group of goblins who seemed to be transmigrating out of the black forest, even werewolves ran away from their black forest and instead entered into the quiet forest.”

“Uncle also met some black forest dwellers on the way to the east forest?” ask Winter who was a little surprised. “Actually what has happened inside the black forest to make its inhabitants suddenly run around like that, do you know the cause?” said winter who was a little confused thinking about the most rational reason but ended up asking the duke leonard again because he could not find a clue as to what was going on there right now.

“I also do not know what is behind the chaos in the black forest, but farkas said that there was one ruler who was rampaging to make them all frightened and chose to leave the black forest.”

“Farkas?” tanya is a little confused because Winter does not understand from where the farkas can know the state of the black forest when the duke leonard previously told him that they met while on the way to the eastern forest and the forest path opposites to the point of not being able to meet each other. “Where did farkas know uncle, didn't you guys meet while on your way to the east forest? Even those of us who have been tracing inside the black forest still do not know what the cause is.” asked Winter curiously.

“Oh, I must have forgotten to tell you winter.”

“About what is Uncle Leonard?”

“Farkas is one of the creatures that used to live in the black forest, he escaped from the black forest with his herd but left behind and ended up alone then accidentally met us.”

“He's from the black forest? But is there a human who may live there is not there a dangerous place it is impossible for ordinary humans to live there unless the person is not a human eh...uncle could he?” Winter understands and later recalls that duke leonard had previously told him that while on his journey they encountered goblins and werewolves.

“He's right, he's a werewolf.

“Isn't this very dangerous uncle leonard, bringing dangerous creatures into the kingdom what else to the uncle's residence.”

“That if you reveal his true identity, as long as he is human no one will realize who he really is. Only I, Edward, Aelfric and Damian know his true identity because now that you also know the true identity of the circus then you should also help him to cover him.”

“What will he stay here uncle leonard?”

“Iya she will stay here.”

“What uncle has thought about this well, we can not immediately believe it is not?” Winter disagrees with Duke Leonard's decision, not wanting the dangerous Farkas to wreak havoc and put duke leonard in trouble.

“Iya I have thought and have decided it and I have no intention to return it.” Duke leonard replied firmly to winter's question.

“But what uncle is sure? I mean one day he's gonna go berserk and the one responsible is uncle himself for bringing him into the kingdom without official permission, let alone he's from the black forest. What if the other nobles knew this and made it a tool to drop uncle leonard.”'s position

“If he goes berserk, then I just need to chain him instead.”

‘Uncle, I'm not kidding right now.”

“I'm not joking about winter either. I understand what you're worried about Winter, but take it easy I have made it as my follower he has promised to be loyal to me and will not dare to do things that put us in danger.”

“I do not doubt uncle leonard's decision, nor will I oppose anyone whom uncle chooses to be the ones who can support uncle leonard, neither will I, but if farkas is a werewolf then it's another story uncle, he's dangerous to deal with humans.”

“What's the reason you disagree with me if you put Farkas here?”

“Say,” said duke leonard asking winter to explain to him, the conversation then became very serious than before.

“After uncle left I immediately did the order that uncle gave me which was to go into the black forest to look for yasmin then as I told you earlier that we were attacked by the inhabitants of the black forest, which is the only thing that we did, I then asked Nicholas to immediately report the incident to the kingdom and asked them to give a letter of respi warning to all residents in the kingdom to always be careful.”

“So did they ignore the letter you two sent and not make a warning to the royal residents?”

“No uncle, after receiving a report letter from nicholas King Daylen immediately made an emergency meeting because he took this matter seriously. King Daylen has also spread warning notices throughout the kingdom.”

“So what's the problem? The king has not ignored you, and has even issued an official notice to commemorate the royal residents.

“Uncle is a problem open king Daylen, but the nobles who participated in the emergency meeting. They attribute the chaos that occurred in the black forest to having something to do with the Yarnell.” family

“So they wanted to provoke King Daylen and me, so that the relationship between us both became chaotic. They are quite smart using the situation.” Said Duke Leonard who immediately understood the situation of his family searang after hearing Winter's speech.

“This time is not just a provocation uncle.”

“What else can those fools do with their brain?”

“They have even told the daylen king directly that we have a hidden plan to overthrow the daylen king and the nobles have officially put this matter to Mr. Alfred who is holding power over the law kingdom. Maybe soon we'll have a guest to investigate. Uncle Leonard has really been made a villain by them in the eyes of the king of daylen, and this is very embarrassing the yarnell family who hold full arms over the royal military which is the protector of the kingdom.”

“So there is such a thing that happens as you I am not in my position, they all dare to cross the line just because I quiet them.” Duke Leonard said calmly and was not provoked by the report conveyed by winter to him.

“So, how did King Daylen react?” duke leonard asked after being silent for a while.

“Of course the king of daylen does not trust their uncle, the king of daylen cannot side with anyone because of his position which is a king. King Deylen could not ignore the reports from the nobles because not only one or two people said that during the meeting but almost all the nobles gave the same accusation to uncle leonard.”

Duke only fell silent, he focused on listening to the explanation of winter and did not comment on wanting to hear the whole story first before deciding what action he would take to deal with the problem he was facing.

“They said that the one who masterminded this mess was uncle himself because the black forest became chaotic after we entered there, moreover, it was not the uncle who directly sent his letter to the king and was only brought by a soldier.  Allegations that might be received uncle is doing mutiny”

“So what did king Daylen decide after hearing the demands of those who accused me of being a rebel to the kingdom?”

“Sebenanya at first they only want to provoke the king of daylen and destroy the relationship of the king with his uncle alone, but unexpectedly the king of daylen turned out to take this seriously. The king told them that they had to find evidence suggesting that the uncle had actually staged a rebellion in order to drag Leonard's uncle into prison if what they were accusing him of was true, but king Daylen also said that if they could not prove the charges they had accused uncle, then those who will be punished and will be put in prison for having made charges of rebellion on other nobles, especially on the Yarnell family who always helped the king.”

“Hahahaha,” duke leonard instead laughed out loud making winter surprised to see duke leonard, instead of afraid he even laughed after he was accused of being a rebel. “So that's what daylen did to them,” said duke leoanrd after stopping laughing, he did not take seriously himself who was considered a rebel.

“Uncle why are you laughing? I'm not kidding, think of a way they can't succeed in doing their evil plan to uncle.” Winter immediately warned duke leonard not to underestimate the problems that duke leonard will face because accusations of rebellion against the king is one of the very heavy criminal acts and the law is execution.

“I know, but if I act it means I'm really doing a rebellion, anyway,” duke Leonard replied to tell the reason to einter who now looks very worried duke Leonard because of the problem of accusation of rebellion blamed on him by other nobles.

“I'll give you a question Winter, as long as you work with me have I ever made a move that led to charges of rebellion?”

“Never uncle.”

“As long as you work with me, have you ever found anything suspicious that I did?” ask duke leonard again on winter.

"No uncle."

“Have I ever done anything that shamed Yarnell's name?”

“Never uncle, uncle leonard always works well without any fault.”

“Nah, so how can those who are outsiders find the hill of rebellion that I did while you who for years worked with me not even find things that make you suspect me of rebellion or something like that, winter.”

“Good uncle I understand now.”

Hearing what duke leonard said just now made winter begin to understand why the duke could be calm. But there are still a few things that remain winter worries.

“You understand but your face now seems to be still thinking of something else winter, is there still something that helps your mind Winter?” duke Leonard asked who saw winter still looked worried and thought of something else.

“Uncle I can rest easy if it's just uncle and no outsiders that uncle brought, but this uncle even brought the werewolves back to the kingdom this could be used them to corroborate the rebellion accusations they had accused uncle leonard.”

“So that's the image that keeps you from accepting the existence of Farkas, winter?”

“Iya uncle, they are very cunning whatever he can use just to attack uncle.”

“Your words are true Winter, my affairs will be responsible so do not burden your mind with such trivial things because there are still many important things that you have to deal with.”

“Good uncle, I understand I will remember the words uncle.”

“Winter, where's Adrian? I don't see him anywhere.

“My father is going to the kingdom taking care of the important things in place of uncle leonard who did not come at some internal meetings conducted by the other nobles.”

“Alright, for now we go back to leathina's room to wait for her to return, do you still want to go there? You don't have to force yourself to wait for winter leathina if there's something urgent you have to do then go.”

“No uncle, I will return to Leathina's room to wait for her. Anyway today I don't have any important things to get done soon.”

The two of them returned to the leathina room with the others after the debate.

“So like that daylen, it turns out your brain can still be functional I think you will just sit still in your seat and let them trample on you who always play dirty behind you.” inner duke leonard on his way to the leathina room.

“Daylen used the charges they gave me to get rid of the nobles who did the dirty work behind her, he said, Daylen knows that they will not succeed, so daylen uses this trick to trap them. It's like using a double-edged sword, if you can use it well then it can be used to kill your opponent but otherwise if it's too careless then it will turn around injuring.”
