I'M A Villains In My Second Life
Chapter 18's

Though Leathina was the one who called him by the name of Nico first so it can be said that Leathina who made Nico name for him. I saw it in Leathina's memory, it happened when Leathina was ten and Nicholas was eight.

“Kakak Lea, yesterday my father took me with him out of town, because brother is not allowed out then I bought a gift for you as a souvenir.” Nicholas gives Leathina a gift box.

“Really? Thanks Nicholas, can I open it now?” Little Leathina picked up the gift box that Nicholas had given her.

“He's open, brother, you must really like him.”

“Good. I'll open it Nicholas.” Leathina immediately opened the gift Nicholas had given her.

“Very beautiful once Nicholas.”

The gift Nicholas gave Leathina was a snow crystal ball, inside there is a view of a girl playing with a boy under the snow and if the ball is moved there are white particles that resemble snow falling.

“Justify. I knew Leathina's sister would definitely love it.”

“Nicholas because I'm not allowed out so I can't give you a gift of goods. But in exchange I will still give you a gift because I do not like to owe, Do you want?”

“I'll love everything you give me and what you mean I owe you a gift because I want to give it to you.”

“Who knows what will happen Nicholas, you know dad doesn't like me.”

“Alright brother. But what gift will you give me?”

“I will give you a special gift that is a name “Nico” how funny it is very suitable for you.”

“Wah “Nico” I like it.”

“Because it is a special name that I have given you then not everyone can call you by that name.”

“Why, instead of that name sounds cool.sister says it's a special name why I can't be called Nico keep what's the point of that name.”

“Because the name is special so no one can use it.”

“So anyone can call me by that name.”

“People who can call you by the name of Nico should be special people to you.”

“What is that special person like?”

“Umm That special person means the person you really like, the person you want to see at all times and the person you want to protect.”

“Cool rewards. Thank you brother Lea.”

In the past they both looked quite familiar. So what made Nicholas and Leathina hate each other like now. It's too annoying for me to think because it's all a confusing puzzle game for me I just thought the parts didn't tell me the whole memory of Leathina and now Nicholas hates Leathina so much. For now I have to get these two kids out of my room as soon as possible.

“I'll be out if Nora comes with me.”

“No. I still want to be here.” Nora yells refusing to come with Nicholas.

“You heard he still didn't want to go out.”

“Alright then. If you don't let Nora out I'll challenge you.”

“What do you mean? I won't accept any challenge from you.”

What's with this kid, had his head hit I obviously didn't hold Nora back, he himself wants to stay with me and I can't possibly throw him out it will hurt his feelings later and why he's challenging me instead.

“I Nicholas Yarnell challenged Leathina Yarnell to a duel in a fight!”

“Huh. Have you gone mad Nicholas!”

“I'm not crazy I'm seriously challenging you, and this time I'll beat you, and if I win later you can't meet Nora again.”

“Solicholas! Why should I make a fight involving me.”

“That's because I want to cover you from this evil woman Nora.”

“No, no, no Nicholas. I don't want to accept that challenge from you and I don't want to fight you Nicholas.”

This kid is really crazy. I know you don't like Leathina, but to challenge me by mentioning the family name has crossed the line. Why even be complicated like this, but only a trivial question. Just because Nora came to visit me she acted this far, after all I don't want to be visited either. It just adds to the burden of my life, I want my own time.

“You cannot resist my challenge Leathina, you graduated from the knight academy you swore at graduation that you would keep your sword for good and with courage. You must not reject my challenge or you will be punished and your knight will be revoked because a knight must face all obstacles and challenges.”

Oh now that I know what you're up to Nicholas, apparently you deliberately challenged me in a Nicholas duel, because you know I won't fight you, and if I lose then when I propose myself as the head of the family I will have to conduct an approval hearing in advance from the previous family leaders and the other higher ups and of course I will be rejected even before I conducted the trial to become the successor of the Yarnell family because everyone hated me even more so my mother was a commoner, so they thought that from the very beginning my existence was a mistake and a disgrace to the Yarnell family. Meanwhile, if I choose to reject the challenge from Nicholas then I will be dubbed as a coward for fear of drawing out his sword so that my name in the list of potential successors will be removed.

“Then cancel your challenge against me.” However I have to cancel this fight, I will not only be removed as a potential successor to the family but the worst case scenario is that one of us will die from this stupid fight. Worse I even knew that the one who would lose this fight must be me.

“A true knight candidate will certainly never retract his words, unless you are a coward and you know alone in the Yarnell family there is no such thing as a coward.”

It is true said Nicholas, the motto of this family is “Courage and loyalty, it is better to die with honor than to be safe with abandonment of self-esteem.” The Yarnell family has been responsible and in control of the royal military, which is why the upbringing in this family is also quite hard.

“Nicholas I will give you a chance, so now cancel your challenge. How many times do I have to say that I do not want to fight with you, and I will never accept your challenge.”

“Do you now underestimate me Leathina for assuming that I will not be able to defeat you with the abilities I have?”

“It's not like that Nicholas, it's just that I really can't fight with you.”

“Oh so it's true that you underestimated my abilities, even now you still reject the challenge I posed you. I will not cancel my challenge Leathina and let's see who is actually superior among us, I will defeat you Leathina.”

Why does he misunderstand me. What am I supposed to do now? It is true that Leathina is talented in using swords and it has been recognized even while in the Leathina academy to be one of the best graduates, the problem now is that I don't know how to use the sword.
