I'M A Villains In My Second Life
Chapter 161

“Aaa!”

Said Leathina who was finally able to speak again even though the rice was weak but managed to attract the attention of everyone and make people surprised after hearing the sound of leathina.

“LEATHINA!!”

Exciting everyone simultaneously, the duke immediately ran over then knelt on the side of the bed then held onto Leathina's hand tightly.

“Thank God, you're back.” He then kissed the soft back of Leathina's hand with joy welcoming leathina back.

Leathina turned her head and with the rest of her strength she gently rubbed the hair of her father who was now bowed at her side.

“Kakak.” Nora then ran about to jump in Leathina's arms but was stopped by Nicholas.

“He's still weak, you want to kill him?” nicholas then pulled her back by pulling Nora's collar from behind.

Leathina looked into everyone's eyes one by one and as her eyes met Edward she smiled while Edward remained silent and did not react, the same thing Leathina did when her eyes met Winter and she was greeted with a smile by Winter.

Leathina also saw her two younger siblings who are now looking at her while sobbing holding back tears and managed to make Leathina develop her smile especially when she looked at Nicholas who occasionally rubbed his eyes. Leathina also saw her stepmother who had now dabbled as much as she could with Anne was moved to see Leathina could open her eyes.

“Ah, zeyden is also here waiting for me? I think he hates me.” Inner Leathina as she looked at Zeyden with Andy who was standing at the back.

Leathina smiled back to see him for his gratitude for worrying even though the two were not familiar enough to worry about him. “Eh? Why is he surprised to see me?” Inner Leathina because after she smiled looking at Zeyden, zeyden then rounded his eyes like a person who was surprised by something.

“Welcome back Leathina, my only daughter.” Duke Leonard said slowly.

Leathina rounded her eyes and as the duke finished his sentence leathina felt her body as if it did not belong to her for a moment. His eyes were round in surprise feeling something strange in his chest.

“This is weird, when the duke finished his sentence my chest felt filled with something and I feel very warm now.” His mind is confused with his own feelings.

"Ah, is this the effect of being asleep long enough?" leathina's heart then gently rubbed her chest.

Leathina immediately closed her eyes with her arms, for a long time Leathina was silent to make everyone again very worried about Leathina because her body was indeed very weak now.

“Leathina what's wrong?” ask the worried Duke Leonard.

“What is your body hurting, dear?” ask the duchess who has now been next to duke leonard.

“Which part hurts, I will check it for you!” aelfric asked enthusiastically then tried to open Leathina's blanket to check.

“Plak!”

Edward, hit the back of Aelfric's head. “What are you trying to do?” his question then pulled Aelfric back and took his place.

“You took my place!” snapped Aelfric tried to pull Edward back to take back his place now where Edward was.

“You're in the way.” Zeyden said then pulled Aelfric back and also took his place as Edward had done until now Aelfric was in the backmost place.

“Leathina what's up!” duke Leonard asked in panic when he saw Leathina start crying.

“Kak what hurts so much?” ask nora carefully then penetrate the people and approach leathina then gently touch Leathina's cheek.

“Leathina?”

“Plak!”

Call Edward to Leathina then try to pull Leathina's arm which now covers her eyes but suddenly her hand is slapped by Nora and gives edward an angry look at not wanting her brother to be touched again by her.

Edward only smiled awkwardly in light of the events just a moment ago when everyone was going to kill him for his actions, Edwrad pulled his hand back to undo his intention to check on Leathina.

“Leathina what's wrong? Father please, speak!” pinta duke leonard who was still worried because now Leathina instead cried and sobbed loudly.

“Andy check Leathina now!” The pinta duchess is in a panic.

Leathina immediately shook her head not wanting to be examined making Andy who had walked closer immediately retreated back.

“Do you not want to see me? Ah, will I act like a real father now. Then I hope you recover my daughter.” Said the duke who suddenly recalled that Leathina did not like him then immediately stood up wanting to get out of the leathina room. For the duke to see Leathina regaining consciousness already made him feel very grateful so it would not matter to him if now Leathina hated him.

“Leathina?” the Duke said in surprise as Leathina clasped her hands back tightly and shook her head quickly refusing to let her father out.

“Ti-not bu-not so.” Leathina answered who eventually asked duke leonard to stay.

“A-I, I, I guess there won't be anyone waiting for me to open my eyes again. I don't think anyone cares if I'm alive or not. I think it's better if I die, I.. I... I ...” Leathina could no longer continue her words and ended up crying as she pleased.

“Pardon dad, Leathina.” Said Duke Leoard then immediately hugged Leathina.

“I'm afraid dad's ignoring me like old times! Because I've always been neglected, so I think dad doesn't like it!!” leathina said then her cries broke again after quieting down for a while as the duke hugged her.

“Im sorry dear father. I have ignored you, but never once have I thought of leaving you and letting you die before I die.” The duke's soft words calmed the leathina and gently rubbed Leathina's shoulders trying to ease her cries which had now made her have trouble breathing.

Instead of being calm Leathina even added to tears now her eyes had wet her father's clothes.

“This is the first time I saw Leathina crying like a child.” Zeyden murmured softly who was now concerned to see Leathina.

Winter and Edward think the same thing as Zeyden, and this time they see the other side of Leathina who is notoriously callous and arrogant.

After being satisfied crying Leathina finally calmed back down and duke leonard let go of his embrace wanting to see his daughter's face but Leathina instead looked down in shame for acting like a child.

“Is it okay now?” ask the duke gently to Leathina.

Leathina nodded softly answering her father's question.

“I...”

After speaking a few words Leathina felt her throat very sore, felt her throat felt very dry and made her voice difficult to get out.

In a hurry Anne who realized it immediately brought Leathina water and immediately gave it to the duke to help leathina drink the water she brought for leathina.

“Wait a minute!” nora and Nicholas shouted almost simultaneously and the two came to Leathna with a container and a glass of water. I don't know since when they both asked the waiter to give him the thing he was carrying.

“What's up?” asked his mother to be astonished by his two sons.

“Right rinses with this water first, do not drink yes but just gargle-gargle only!” Nora orders Leathin and forces her to leave Leathina with no choice but to follow Nora's orders.

“And dump here.” He pointed to the container held by Nicholas.

Leathina obediently gargled with the water given by Nora and then threw the water into the container Nicholas was holding.

“Wait a minute.” Nicholas then gave the container he held to a servant and took his handkerchief out of his pocket.

“Shut up a minute!” she said and suddenly rubbed Leathina's lips with her miliary handkerchief.

“Burn this.” Nicholas, who finished rubbing Leathina's lips until reddened, handed her handkerchief to the maid and asked her to get rid of it as quickly as possible.

“For what is it all?” leathina asked after she finished drinking the water her father had given her.

Nora was soaring her mouth at Edward intensely, Edwar was just smiling he knew why Nora now hated him.

“Nothing, me and brother Nicholas are just cleaning brother of something dirty.” His words then turned his face back to look at Leathina and let out a long sigh.

Leathina smiled awkwardly because she actually knew why Nora and Nicholas were doing such a strange thing to her, it was because of what Edward had done, but Leathina chose to pretend that she didn't know anything because she didn't want to remember something as embarrassing as that.

“Groowwlll ..”

Suddenly the sound of starving stomachs made everyone quietly listen.

“Ah, forgive me. Looks like my body is hungry.” Said Leathina smiling awkwardly while hiding her stomach in embarrassment.

“I'm glad you can open your eyes again Miss Leathina and see you can smile.” Said Zeyden who was walking closer to Leathina.

Leathina simply smiled in response to Zeyden.

“Then I will return to the tower, there are still some affairs that I have to finish.” Zeyden then leaned over to grab Leathina's hand and kissed Leathina's back.

“Thanks zeyden.” Leathina.

Zeyden bowed again and left the house of the Yarnells.

“Ah, I'm glad to see miss regaining consciousness. Then I also pamit.” Andy bowed in salute then hurriedly ran after Zeyden.

“Nora?” Leathina was surprised when Nora suddenly pulled her hand.

“Acquest brother.” His speech then rubbed the rough back of Leathina's hand like removing a piece of dirt from it.

“What are you doing nora?” leathina asked confusedly.

“Just relax, sister Leathina, I'm cleaning sister's hand.”

Hearing Nora's reply made Leathina just smile.

“It's good to see you back Leathina.” Said Winter who was now walking closer to Leathina.

“I hope nothing bad happens to you anymore. Then I'll also be saying.” Winter did the same thing as the zeyden, kissing the back of Leathina's hand and bowing respectfully before exiting the leathina room.

Now gilian Edward after Winter came out he was immediately ready to return to the kingdom after a long absence from the kingdom.

“Other times I will definitely protect you.” The whisper to leathina.

“I will return to the kingdom, rest Leathina.” Edward said and kissed Leathina's back.

“I'll come again to visit you.” He said as he placed his palm on Leathina's head.

“Quick go.” Aelfric said with ketus.

“What?” aelfric asked as Edward looked at him.

“You'll come with me.” Edward said flat and pulled on Aelfric's back shirt.

“Wait, wait. Wait up! Why should I come with you?!”

“You are a royal guest and have the noble blood of the elves, of course you should stay in the kingdom as a guest of honor.”

“No, I don't want to! I want to stay here with Farkas and Damian!” Aelfric rebelled but Edward ignored him and took him by force.

“Release! Release him! Let go of my words!” shouted aelfric rebelled.

Leathina just smiled at the two who were still not changed in the slightest, edward always disturbed Aelfric and of course Aelfric would rebel because he did not like Edward.

“Alright, alright, I will come obediently with you.” Said Aelfric, who stopped rebelling until Edward released him.

“LEATHINA!!” Aelfric's screams after being released by Edward and running towards Leathina then held on tightly to Leathina.

“Let me stay here with farkas and damian! I don't want to go kesarang ferocious beast like him!” Aelfric begged Leathina to let him stay in her place.

“You!” Edward wanted to pull Aelfric back but was blocked by Leathina.

“Let Aelfric stay here, he won't cause any problems.” Leathina speaks for aelfric.

“Can't, it concerns the kingdom. We could be said to demean him if I didn't bring him to the kingdom.” Aelfric said that he must return to bring the Aelfric for the sake of state affairs and diplomatic relations.

“Who cares! Pokonya I want to stay here, state relations or whatever the name is will not affect if I stay at home duke leoanrd.” Aelfric insisted on staying. “Why do you really want me to come with you anyway what do you ...” Aelfric did not continue his sentence and just stared at Edward from head to toe with a strange look.

“I know you're thinking dirty right now! If you stay here you will disturb Leathina at all times and hinder her recovery, to prevent that then I must isolate you you are a bully!”

“Leathina?” Aelfric stared at Leathina intending for leathina to defend him in order to stay in the mansion of the yarnell family.

Leathina simply smiled in response to Aelfric because there was nothing she could do to help him from Edward. Leathina could not stop Edward if he had decided.

“Hais!” Edward breathed a heavy sigh and raised his hand.

Aelfirc who knew what was next to him immediately stood up and walked behind Edward, following him obediently. Aelfric did not like it if Edward made him unconscious and took him in such a way because he was traumatized by tau-tau after realizing he was in a foreign place.

“I will follow the prince obediently, so don't do anything bad to me.” Aelfric spoke in a strange manner.

“But before that let me say goodbye to leathina.”

Without waiting for Edwrad's approval, Aelfric immediately returned to Leathina. “Leathina, I'll be back to visit you later.” He then bowed to kiss Leathina's back.

“You long!” Edward then pulled back the collar Aelfric shirt that had not had time to finish what he just wanted to do.

“You're heartless, you devil!” Aelfric muttered softly and then just resignedly dragged by Edward.

Leathina simply smiled then waved her hand off the departure of Aelfric and Edwrad. Actually Leathina felt sorry for Aelfric but there was nothing she used to do, she could not argue with him now.

“Kakak get your hands back.”

“Shut up a minute, Leathina.”

“Huh, Nicholas? Nora's? What are you doing now?” leathina asked as Nora again grabbed her hand and rubbed Leathina's back again, while Nicholas rubbed her hair where Edwrad had touched her.

“Why now do I feel everyone is so sensitive?” inner Leathina who felt a new atmosphere after she opened her eyes.
