I'M A Villains In My Second Life
The Chapter 170

“Huff... no progress in the investigation I did.” Leathina muttered then exhaled a deep breath and dropped herself on her bed.

“I have been searching for a few days for information about people I suspect are playing a significant role in this accusation of rebellion, but there is no information that is too important to me. I even got information from some nobles who had affairs with other nobles or with their own servants. What lowly information like this can I use ya?” Leathina Mumbles.

“Do I have to disguise myself as his woman so that I can extract information from them, I heard they often come to the house night” Gumam Leathina then closed her eyes trying to calm her mind.

“Who do you want to be?”

Someone suddenly appeared in Leathina's room.

“Woah!”

“You surprised me?” leathina's screams were immediately aghast at the shock of someone suddenly appearing in her room without her noticing.

“Awch!”

“Leathina! You okay?”

Being so surprised Leathina even reflexively retreated away so that she did not realize there was no place behind her and fell out of bed.

“I'm in pain, it's all because of you Zeyden. Why did you suddenly appear in someone else's room suddenly like this?!” Leathina exclaimed in shock at Zeyden.

“Ah, forgive me. The plan I wanted to get in front of your room but it turned out my prediction was wrong and my teleportation magic even got here.” Zeyden replied while scratching his non-itchy head.

“You don't want to help me?” said Leathina ketus and still lying on the floor.

Leathina raised her hand for Zeyden to pull her and help her get up.

“AH, yes, yes, forgive me.” Zeyden said and frantically immediately pulled Leathina's hand and helped her stand up.

“Ekh!”

Zeyden was shocked as he had pulled Leathina and helped her up, but Leathina instead pulled her back to narrow the distance between the two.

“Le-leathina?” zeyden said nervously.

“You!” Leathina's words intimidated Zeyden.

“I- yes?”

“One more time you enter carelessly like this I will get you out without legs!” Leathina then immediately tightened her pull and then after the zeyden was within her reach Leathina immediately pulled her collar and pulled Zeyden down until Zeyden had difficulty breathing.

“Le-leathina, you have no intention of really wanting to kill me right?” zeyden asked with an awkward smile as Leathina who was looking at him with a presumptuous look.

“What do you mean, I certainly did not dare to kill you, maybe I will just punish you.” Answer Leathina.

“Can you let go of me first and speak Leathina?”

“You!” leathina said again then squinted her eyes looking at Zeyden seriously.

“I-iya what else Leathina, this is absolutely pure just a technical error.”

“You must have thought of me until you ended up teleporting inside my room because you wanted to see me so badly right?!”

“You're too confident I said this is just a mistake, everyone is natural to make a mistake right?”

“Ah, stop. Basic pervert!” Leathina then let out a long sigh and finally released Zeyden from her grip.

“Hei! I said this was just a mistake!” zeyden disagreed with Leathina's statement.

“Yes, yes, witch master. I understand this is your fault. So don't scream anymore, you can make my eardrum break tofu.”

“Well, it's true that you finally understand, this is just a mistake.”

“What made you come here Zeyden?”

“That I came to see you, I heard the news that a few days ago Yasmine came and attacked you. Are you okay?”

“Yes I'm fine, there's no need to worry too much about me worrying about yourself because if duke or Nicholas saw you who suddenly were in my room like this maybe they'd hunt you down.”

“This really wasn't me on purpose!”

“Yes I know, so to prevent it you are forbidden to think of me.”

“I said I didn't think about you, it was a mistake!”

“Then get out or come back now if this is really just a mistake you interrupted my break.” Leathina then sat back on the edge of her bed.

“Leathina you're hurt, why didn't the duke call Andy to heal you?” zeyden asked when he saw Leathina's leg bandaged.

“This is not a serious wound left will heal itself.”

“But Leathina I don't know if this will offend you or not but I'm really curious and want to know.”

“What is it?” ask Leathina.

“Don't you have healing magic abilities? That time though it feels vague I saw you use it to heal the sister of your injured former personal servant.”

“Ah, the! You really feel it, I'm not surprised but it's just that I don't like dealing with you.” Leathina muttered while recalling where Zeyden felt the magic he used.

“I ask you Zeyden please keep this a secret, I don't want many people to know.”

“Why? Isn't this good for you?”

“I just don't like to attract attention. After all if many people knew about it and it reached the ears of king Daylend I might end up being his personal physician or he would save me myself to use my abilities only for that kingdom worse, he'll probably marry me to Yardley right away because he wants me to take care of his sloppy son. Pokonya you can not tell others about this ability of mine, after all this is also not too rare there are still some people who have the same ability not.”

“Your last words do make sense, but how can you be so sure that the king will pay more attention to you?”

“Of course because she likes me, she even offered me to be her daughter haha.” Leathina's reply which was interspersed with jokes made Zeyden only able to smile looking at her.

“Leathina are you really no longer interested in Prince Yardley? I mean, weren't you crazy about him?”

“Hais! Why are you suddenly asking such a pesky question as Zeyden?”

“I'm just curious, considering the news about you that will definitely always be the main topic of conversation throughout the kingdom especially the news that says that you are very infatuated with prince Yardley.”

“Duh, why is this person suddenly bringing up such an embarrassing thing anyway. If it were me, I would definitely not do it.” Inner Leathina.

“What do you mean? Ummm.well I used to love it but after all the effort I made to make her like me was only reciprocated by the inappropriate treatment I gave up, you could say I now know where I should be so I gave up.” Leathina replied nervously in embarrassment at the thought of her sad past having lived a one-sided love.

“Ah, so so. Thank goodness.” Zeyden then smiled with satisfaction at Leathina's reply.

“Eh, what do you mean grateful like that?” leathina asked for an investigation into Zeyden's suspicions.

“Leathina!” call Zeyden.

“What? What else now? You keep calling me, stop bothering me and when do you get out of here?”

“Look, I'm hurt.” Said Zeyden while showing a scratch because Leathina pulled the collar hard enough to scratch her skin.

“So?” Ask Leathina.

“EH? Why should I?”

“Because you hurt me so you have to be responsible!”

“You'll have Andy, so just go home and have Andy treat you.”

“No, Andy's magic is too weak it will be difficult for him to treat my wound, quickly treat me.” Zeyden forced Leathina to treat him.

“Hei! How are you getting a little shitty anyway?! Your wound it's just a scratch, it can't even be called a wound for me.”

“Shelf!”

“Leathina! I heard someone else's voice from your room!”

Suddenly the door to Leathina's room is broken by Nicholas and Nora who happen to come to visit to see Leathina's condition.

“What is this?” said Nicholas who was surprised to see a man who was in Leathina's room.

“Nicholas, Nora are you coming?” leathina's awkward greeting could she imagine what would happen next.

“You! Can't you pull my sister like that?! Ask Nicholas coldly.

“Ah, you misunderstood. It's just.. I just help Leathina stand up, you see her leg is still injured.” Zeyden immediately released Leathina and repaired the Leathina clothes he had pulled.

“Why haven't any guards reported your presence and no one saw Mr Zeyden coming?” nora asked as she looked at Zeyden suspiciously.

“Gosh, I forgot there was an important meeting in the palace that I had to attend, if I was late I could get in trouble. I'll say goodbye, see you Leathina and for the both of you to say my regards to duke.” Zeyden then disappeared.

“Hei! Where are you going!” nicholas shouted to try to stop Zeyden but unfortunately Zeyden had disappeared first.

“She used the opportunity in a narrowing, damn it!” nicholas and came straight to Leathina.

“Are you okay Leathina?” his question then examined Leathina by turning her around almost three times to check if Zeyden had done anything strange to Leathina.

“I'm fine Nicholas.” Answer Leathina. “But are you going to keep me going around in circles like this? It makes me a little dizzy.”

“Ah, thankfully nothing happened to you.” Nicholas muttered not much to Leathina's comment.

“So aren't you really okay? Did that do something to you?” ask Nora worried.

“I'm fine Nora.”

“Why can that person be in your room Leathina?” Nicholas asked then went back to inspect the entire room Leathina was afraid that zeyden might put something dangerous.

“I don't know either, he just suddenly appeared inside your room.” Leathina answered in confusion.

“But, what brought you two here?”

“We just want to visit, when I walked here brother Nicholas also turned out to be here to meet Brother Leathina so we came together.”

“So like that.”

“Leathina I heard a few days ago dad found something strange in your room, are you no problem?”

“Of course there is nothing, about that I also do not know because I slept soundly that night until I could not feel anything.”

“Are you not hiding something Leathina?” ask Nicholas to investigate.

“Hide something? What do you mean Nicholas?”

“For example there is someone who tries to attack you but you hide it and do not want to tell the truth for fear of inconveniencing others.” Nicholas answers who still suspects Leathina.

“There's nothing like it, you two worry too much about me. I'm really okay now, I'm used to moving even I can fight back.”

“You're training again?!” nicholas was surprised by Leathina's words.

Leathina nodded then smiled affirming Nicholas' question.

“Daddy has said do not do strenuous activities such as practicing!”

“But if it's not laithan I probably won't be able to recover quickly.”

“But still, you're still weak.”

“Don't be too childish Nicholas, you know best more than anyone that I'm not a weak and sick person right.”

“Iya, but ..”

“Duh... why are you so funny if you worry about someone, I'm so confused to respond like what considering you used to hate me so much it's weird if you pay too much attention to me like this Nicholas.” Leathina's speech was accompanied by a joke.

Nicholas gasped when he heard Leathina's words, even though he knew that Leathina had no intention and was only joking but in fact it was true that Nicholas used to dislike Leathina and hate her so much.

“Ma-I'm sorry.” Nicholas said softly as he bowed down for not daring to look at Leathina's face.

“Hei! Oi! I'm just kidding Nicholas, you're too sensitive.” Leathina said as she patted Nicholas on the shoulder to encourage him.

“But in fact I used to not treat you well, I even said a few times rough and hurt you Leathina.”

“I used to love Leathina so much, but as time went on I realized that Leathina was like an invisible creature in this great mansion she seemed transparent because the servants often ignored her and everyone hated her father not too much giving her attention and because of everything I saw I became influenced and hated Leathina. Though I don't know what reason I hate him I just follow everyone.” Inner Nicholas tries to recall the reason for hating Leathina.

Nicholas gets worse as he recalls his past with Leathina, he gets sadder when he realizes that there really is no reason for him to hate Leathina just tap Leathina to have a different mother.

“I'm sorry Leathina.” Nicholas muttered softly but could still be heard well by Leathina.

“What makes you go melow like this Nicholas? You give me goosebumps, are you really the Nicholas I know or are you sick? Tell me I'll tell the waiter straight away to treat you.” Leathina then touched Nicholas' forehead to check on Nicholas.

“I'm not sick! Don't treat me like a kid!” shouted Nicholas who was embarrassed because Leathina replied to him with a joke even though he had poured out his heart just now.

“You shouldn't react like this? Everyone will immediately hug his sister or even give a word of encouragement, but your reaction is really strange and what the hell your term is, what does it mean me. mel.”

“Melow brother Nicholas.” Nora confirmed Nicholas's words.

“That's it, you just embarrassed me when I was really apologizing to you.”

"Wouldn't a sister always be able to understand her sister? Said Leathina and made Nicholas stunned for a while because he heard the sentence that Leathina said.

"Why is your expression like Nicholas' fool? Are you really Nicholas?" Said Leathina again accompanied by a joke because she wanted to change the atmosphere that suddenly became gloomy.

"Why are you always kidding me!" Nicholas exclaimed in anger that Leathina had never been serious. "You used to be so cold smiling never why now it's so weird!" Nicholas was angry that Leathina's embarrassment kept playing him.

“Well, this is the new Nicholas I know.” Said Leathina who was relieved when Nicholas instead scolded her and shouted at her like before.

“You give me goosebumps if you say soft words to me.” Leathina said in a joking tone that made Nicholas even more arrogant to see it because Leathina did not take it seriously.

“I was afraid that if everyone became kind to me and suddenly in the blink of an eye instantly hated me like before, it made me a thousand times more frightened than having to fight. It would be better if people still thought I was as insignificant as before, at least it wouldn't hurt too much if they suddenly turned around and hated me again. I wouldn't feel guilty if I had to retaliate later." Leathina's mind at the sight of everyone has now changed and is inversely proportional to how they used to treat Leathina.
