I'M A Villains In My Second Life
Chapter 159

The Duke stared at their departure without blinking, seeing that the nobles really wanted to take down his family even the knights who were originally trained by him then assigned to the kingdom also dared to violate his orders.

“Winter, Nicholas!” Said the duke after everyone had completely left his residence.

“Iya uncle.”

“Yes dad?”

Nicholas and Winter.

“Find out and record the names of all the nobles who filed reports of rebellion accusations against the Yarnell family and everyone who cooperated with them, investigate and report to me!”

“Good,” Said Nicholas and Winter simultaneously.

Winter also asked the soldiers to clean the blood splash by watering it with water or covering it with soil so as not to smell fishy.

“Tu-mister!” Anne exclaimed from a distance by running towards the three of them who were just about to re-enter the mansion.

“Master!” again after only having a few meters distance.

“What's Anne?” winter asked Anne not to run recklessly in front of a leonard duke like that.

“I'm sorry sir, ta-but no-miss, miss leathina.” he said immediately bowed.

“What's Anne? say it correctly!” nicholas was impatient.

“Nona looks like it will soon wake up.”

“Really!” nicholas and Winter cried almost simultaneously because they were surprised to hear from Anne.

“True sir, his hand was ...”

Anne had not yet finished her speech duke Leonard instead ran first inside, seeing that Winter and Nicholas also ran in to return to the room Leathina.

“Is miss okay?” Ask a soldier who suddenly comes near Anne after Duke Leonard, Winter and Nicholas leave.

“I still don't know sir, then I'm sorry.” Anne replied bowing then immediately entered following duke leonard and the others.

“Duke!” Edward exclaimed when he saw Duke Leonard, Winter and Nicholas ruffled into Leathina's room.

Duke Leonard ignored Edward who called him, both of his amateurs automatically led to the bed and immediately walked there.

“Leathina?” he said to slowly hold onto Leathina's hand.

There was still no response, even Leathina still tightly closed her eyes. There were no signs that Leathina would wake up.

Everyone was silent, meant duke Leonard, who now looked down lethargic but his hands were still strong, clutching the cold fingers of leathina.

“Dad!” nora's screams surprised everyone, including the duke leonard who immediately looked up to see his youngest son.

“What's Nora?” ask her mother to try to bring her back.

“Mother, I just saw big sister Leathina's eyelashes vibrate. I'll probably wake up soon!” he excitedly jumped up on the bed and laced beside the leathina waiting for him to really wake up.

Hearing Nora's words made everyone filled with anxious expectations waiting for Leathina to wake up, because a few times leathina's fingers moved but nothing happened after that made them all fall in hope and now nothing happened like before.

When Nora jumped up, the entire bed was swayed because it got a shake making Leathina who was lying on it even slightly swayed.

“You see, now his whole body can move if you shake his bed. So stop surprising everyone.” Aelfric said to Nora because he was upset to have hoped when he heard Nora's words earlier.

“But I actually saw it move earlier.” Nora dodged, not accepting being considered lying by Aelfric.

“Nora, come here baby. I know how you feel, I also hope your sister can open her eyes soon.” Duchess Nice pulled Nora back with her so that their conversation would not continue into a quarrel.

The duke returned his lethargic eyes blankly looking forward then looked down right beside the leathian's ears and his hands were still faithfully clasping onto Leathina's fingers.

“Wake up Leathina, father waiting for you dear.” whispered full of hope then covered her face with his other hand.

...

“Mungin Aelfric has completely disappeared now.” Leathina muttered and then walked away from the door she returned to the picture of the memory she had seen.

Leathina walked around all the images of her childhood memory as Isabella, seeing the faces of her father and mother that she had not seen for a long time.

“Looks like I really missed these two shitty guys.” He then rubbed his wet cheeks.

“Oh, this is a memory of the time I read this novel I entered.” Then he excitedly found out.

“It's really messed up, the storyline really changed because of the path I chose, Yasmine who should have been the center of attention of people became the enemy and I who should be isolated even became the center of attention where we were exchanged but if Yasmine did not turn into evil maybe we could both live side by side, I have no interest in taking his place, I already have everything. Hopefully nothing bad happens after everything changes, either for me or the others.” Leathina then sighed longly hoping that everything would be fine.

“But I'm sure Yasmine isn't dead yet and will definitely come back and take revenge on me, it looks like I should get ready to calm down the fight that will happen after opening my eyes.” Said Leathina again and then again exhaled a long breath.

“Leathina?!” he cried when he saw a picture of Leathina's memory that he had never remembered before.

“I have to see all of Leathina's memories, I don't want to feel excruciating pain just to have her memories cut into pieces.”

“I don't know if Leathina has been playing sword from a young age without being noticed by people but unfortunately half of her skill now might be in vain because I'm occupying her body. I feel bad for him the results of his efforts ended in vain.”

“Huh? Why does Leathina sneak out like that?” he asked when he saw the same pieces of multiple memories but then realized that they were not the same memories but rather activities that Leathina did repeatedly and regularly.

Leathina continued to come out secretly and roam the streets of the city even in the slums. Occasionally he saw Leathina following some people secretly even to the point of disguise.

“For what does this girl roam around like that every night in town? Well, look at one of his skills that he did it repeatedly but no one realized that he disappeared.” He was amazed to see Leathina.

After Leathina returned, Leathina did not fall asleep immediately but returned to sit overnight writing many lists of names that seemed to contain the names of people who committed small crimes even to big crimes.

“Wah! Amazingly, is he planning on helping his father and the kingdom to get rid of the clean-handed criminals? But for what Leathina bothered to gather that much information if in the end her father and the others still hated her.”

“Hais, look at these maids. I wonder if now they're still working at the manison after doing that atrocity to Leathina as a child."

“This is Leathina's memory of the first time she met Yasmine.”

Leathina had no intention of helping Yasmine and chose to stick to her goal of heading to the supply store and she just passed them but Yasmine suddenly ran towards Leathina pleading for rescue.

“Please save me sir.” Pinta Yamine mistakenly recognizes Leathina as a man because Leathina is wearing pants.

“Small master, as well as you do not have to interfere if you do not want to go home with battered.”

“I don't intend to go home battered, I'm sure you guys won't even be able to land a single blow on my face.”

“Badness!” exclaim the thugs and start attacking Leathina.

Surely no one could stand Leathina, even the one-to-three-man fight was only completed in less than five minutes.

“Job.” The bait was upset but quickly ran away as Leathina approached them.

After the thugs left, Leathina left, and Leathina did not care about Yasmine, who was still cowering in fear and chose to leave immediately.

“Tu- wait!” triak Yasmine stops Leathina.

Leathina turned her head then just addressed Yasmine without expressiveness, “No need to listen.” He said and immediately left Yasmine for the supply store.

“Master wait a minute.” Yasmine exclaimed as Leathina walked out of the supply store.

Leathina was still the same, she still did not care about Yasmine's whereabouts and chose to pretend not to see her.

“Master Wait a minute!” stop for a minute!” yasmine yelled and pulled Leathina's robe making Leathina forced to stop as all eyes were on the two of them.

“What's up?” tanya Leathina flat.

“Ka-you, you girl!” Yasmine, who was very surprised, heard Leathina's voice clearly and saw her beautiful face.

“Of course I'm a girl so don't expect to like me for saving you like in a fairy tale book, I know what you're thinking now but don't feel disappointed just assume I accidentally passed by and helped you.”

“Then be my friend!”

“You crazy?!” Leathina said after hearing Yasmine's words just now. “I'm not friends with just anyone so get out of my sight.” Leathina leaves Yasmine.

“Be careful on the road, remember now we have officially made friends well. I'll be waiting for you here tomorrow, I know you're hanging around the same time!” yasmine yelled who excitedly waved her hand towards Leathina but Leathina did not even turn her head in the slightest to respond.

“Word girl.” Leathina muttered after walking away.

The next day Leathina went back out into town to the same supply store she had visited yesterday to pick up her ordered goods at the store.

However, upon exiting the store, Leathian finds Yasmine waiting for him outside the store and follows her along the way.

“My name is Yasmine, what's your name? My father said we are not officially friends if we do not know the name of each so who namau?” yasmine says she wants to meet Leathina.

“Lea.” Leathina answered briefly and refocused on her path.

“Yes! Now we're officially friends.” Yasmine said excitedly after the two of them exchanged names, and after that Yasmine constantly stuck to Leathina whenever Leathina came to town.

Leathina does not deny Yasmine's existence or accept it she just lets the girl wander around her until the two are comfortable with each other and in need of each other.

Until they both grew up, because Yasmine often followed where Leathina went as if she was a shadow Leathina made her known to many people and began to establish relationships with others, even with Nicholas and prince Yardley who often met with Leathina because of orders from Yardley's father made the three often meet each other.

Prince Yardley did not like Leathina too much because her cold sikana and unable to show her expression there was no chance for prince Yardely to be superior to Leathina because everything that Leathina did must have been perfect, she said, in contrast to Yasmine who at all times must be helped and protected because of her gentle nature.

“Leathina you must hear this good news, anyway you will be the first to know even my mother has not told.” Yasmine said excitedly as she met Leathina.

“I'm the same, I'll tell you something that might surprise you Yasmine.” Leathina.

“Really? Then I will tell you first, listen carefully and do not be surprised well.”

Leathina did not respond and just stared at Yasmine waiting for her to tell her what she was going to tell.

“I like someone and the person I like turns out to also like me he expressed his feelings yesterday to me, you know who? Of course you know he's Prince Yardley.” Yasmine was too antusia to tell Leathina.

Leathine's brows furrowed in response to the news said by Yasmine then let out a long sigh.

“Aduh. That's why people don't like you Leathina, when you hear good news like this you should smile and congratulate your friend.” Yasmine then patted Leathina on the back. “Well now it's your turn, how do you think it will surprise me leathina?” yamine asked impatiently waiting for Leathina to tell him what seemed to be very important.

“I asked the king to match me.” Leathina told Yasmine.

“Wah, really? It turns out to be the daughter of a duke can ask for anything even a soul mate so who you like to ask directly with the king.” Yasmine asked along with a giggling voice because she did not expect Leathina who was cold like ice to be able to like someone as well.

“With the same person you like.” Leathina replied calmly.

“Ah, don't joke you mean with Yardley?”

“Did I ever joke?”

“LEATHINA!” Jerit Yasmine heard Leathina's words that really did not insert feelings in each of her words.

“But I also like it.” He said softly and began to criticize, “I am your best friend can not you give up,” his door while reluctantly holding his sobs.

“Why should I step down? Since the beginning of my meeting with Prince Yardley was indeed scheduled by the king to arrange an arranged marriage between the two of us.”

“Ta-but aren't we friends?”

“Of course we are friends so therefore back off Yasmine, you become the third person among us.”

“Prince Yadrley does not like you, he likes me prince has even expressed his feelings to me.”

“I know, but for us nobles the feeling of love or not love is not a problem but the most important thing is compatibility and mutual benefit. After all you two will not be compatible and not mutually beneficial, if you want to become the crown princess and become a couple of princes then you must meet some conditions and of course from the outline you have been elimized Yasmine you do not match her and your status is not advantageous for the prince so give up.”

“One time you, your heart has really petrified Leathina.” Yasmine said then immediately left Leathina with the pain she had endured in her heart.
