I'M A Villains In My Second Life
The Chapter 199

...

“Where the monster brought my daughter.”

Duke Leonard furiously flipped through his documents. Documents – documents that should be able to duke Leonard finish quickly instead become stacked on his desk because he could not focus on reading and analyzing the contents of the documents he had to complete it.

His mind wandered somewhere but one thing for sure he still kept thinking about his only daughter who still had no news of her whereabouts now.

The news of the birds began to spread that his daughter was dead, that it was used as a collision to calm the raging Dragon in the kingdom. Because Leathina could not be found anywhere even after searching all the kingdoms of Leathina remained undiscovered, it was not long after the news spread that Leathina had died that made the Duke even more frustrated.

How frustrating Duke Leonard and his daughter Leathina just got along, The Duke who had not noticed Leathina since childhood began to try to be a good father to his only daughter and when he was about to start a disaster instead appeared to sacrifice his daughter just to save peoplethe guy in the kingdom who used to hate his daughter.

The Duke became fed up with himself after losing Leathina, making his temperament unstable due to his mounting guilt.

“Argh!!”

“Why should my daughter!!”

Said the duke, his hands he clenched hard to hold himself back from going berserk.

“I think I'm the luckiest man, though, having a high position in the kingdom even had a wife who I loved and loved but then the woman I fought chose to die only for a child she had never seen her face, the boy who lived in his womb killed my wife. I who felt abandoned even fostered unfounded hatred made me hate my own flesh and blood. After losing it I became a cold man then remarried only to get a new descendant to be my successor worthy of ignoring my first daughter, at that time I thought there was no need to give him attention just liberating whatever he wanted was enough to be my responsibility for him. And now that I just realized I'm a bastard and a failed father, why only now do I feel guilty!”

Each new day begins after Leathina disappears making duke Leonard increasingly eroded guilt for his actions in the past.

He always thought about how Leathina's fate, whether she ate well, could sleep without cold or whether her daughter was really alive.

“I should have listened to Daylend's advice back then.” Mumbled Duke Leonard who recalled when King Daylend always warned him for what he did to his daughter first, “Daylend even once held Leathina as a child, Leathina, I'm a bad father why only now think.” Mumbled again.

Duke Leonard smiled bitterly as he could not recall a single good memory of him and his daughter Leathina when her daughter was a child.

All Duke Leonard could remember was pushing Leathina away as Leathina tried to get along with her until she realized that no matter how hard she tried she would not be able to get attention from him, from then on Leathina stopped following him and slowly drifted away and became a stranger in the same residence.

Gts ... Gts ... Gts ...

The sound of a knock at the door ripped out Duke Leonard's daydream and then waited for someone to come in after he let in.

“Sorry sir.” His servant's words were frightened when he found Duke Leonard looking at him with a furrow of his brows then expressionlessly interrupted his presence.

“What's up?!” ask duke.

“This letter – letters in this month that you have not read and reply most of these letters are invitations to attend banquet and requests to be able to come visit here mr.”

He timidly approached the duke putting down a collection of letters that had been neglected for a month no duke cared about.

“Do I have to come to banquet party while my daughter still I have not found!” said the duke withstood the emotions. “What the fuck they are, you licker!” he again stared with annoyance at the pile of letters with wax stamps from various other family symbols.

After delivering a quick letter the butler left not daring to linger in the duke Leonard's room for fear of making Duke Leonard become more emotional about his existence that might disturb his master.

“Junk!”

Bump the Duke after seeing all the family symbols listed on the letter addressed to him, without reading the Duke directly throw all the letters – the letter into the trash.

This was not the first time the duke had gotten letters from other families, many times his residence was sent letters from the same source every month after Leathina disappeared making him regret exactly what the sender wanted.

Although the sentence is composed as neat as possible even contains all the honorary praise for his family who contributed to yesterday's incident as a savior of the kingdom because of the sacrifice that Leathina made to appease the Dragon, the essence of all the letters he threw away was the same, they just wanted to know Leathina's whereabouts.

“Hufft ...” duke sighed longly with his back on his chair back and then looked at the ceiling of his room in pure white.

“I don't know how can my daughter Leathina have such rare abilities.” He muttered while recalling how Leathina had unhesitatingly broken through the ruins of the building only to save and heal her legs that were wedged in the rubble.

“But you should have kept your ability hidden, in the luck you have because you have the ability to have the ability to be sad at the same time you also get misfortune, too, because you know your abilities more than other healer users people actually want to use you for their own sake.”

Duke rubbed his face rough then tried to refocus to finish his work which has now been mountainous.

“Why should be willing to heal me then, after all I did to you. Leathina if you ignored me then maybe I wouldn't be this depressed when I lost you. I'm so ashamed of you and your mother.” The duke's inner back was shrouded in guilt.

What made the duke even more devastated and depressed was the moment he remembered how Leathina had unhesitatingly run at him and instantly saved him in the midst of a dangerous situation that might have been lost, his own life, at that moment the duke realized that he was really a loser thinking that how could he ignore his daughter who really loved him.

...

“Uncle Leonard.” Call Winter to make Duke Leonard aware of his whereabouts.

“You're back Winter, how? Did you find anything?” Duke Leonard immediately asked hoping to get developments for the search efforts carried out by Winter this time.

“I can not find any clue as to the whereabouts of Leathina, but I promise I will try even harder to do uncle search.” Said Winter informing him of his search.

“So there's no word yet about Leathina.” Mumbled Duke Leonard, it can be clearly known that the duke is really disappointed even now that he has not found any clues about the whereabouts of his daughter Leathina.

“Uncle, forgive me.” Said Winter who was also not less disappointed.

“It's okay to come back, I give you permission to rest in a few days.”

“Uncle I don't need to rest I can still do a search back.”

“Can't you have to rest, it's been a whole month you went outside the kingdom to do the search you must be tired.”

“Good uncle.” Winter finally relented even though he wanted to return quickly to the search but did not dare to deny the duke Leonard's orders.

...

Nora malasively followed in her brother Nicholas' footsteps, with an expression on her face it could be guessed that she really did not want to leave. If she could choose she wanted to stay home to wait for Leathina to come home, After Leathina disappeared she was afraid that one day her sister would come home and not be able to welcome her.

“Come way correctly.” Nicholas said, Nora's hand to be able to walk parallel to him helped him improve his slightly bent posture.

“Fix your position, you are not like a child of the duke family only.” Omel Nicholas is back, “You want Leathina to see you as a loser like this after she gets home, you better not be like this Leathina is already a hero in the kingdom so you as her sister behave a little cooler.”

“I don't like going to banquet, there they just always look around for other people's mistakes to laugh at.” Guamam Nora explained the reason why he was fussy from earlier.

“Hold for a while, father and mother could not attend so we both had to come there as representatives of the duke's family. We're only there for a minute, so just calm down.”

“Alright, after showing yourself try to find a reason to return.” Nora said firmly.

“Originally you're being nice there.”

“Iya.” Answer nora briefly.

After arriving at his second banquet was welcomed, of course because of their background that's why they were both treated a little special.

After greeting the host Nicholas also greeted several other guests from other noble families it was mandatory he did if he came to the banquet. Meanwhile, Nora was asked to go to a children's society that was made specifically a playground for children after her age so as not to mess up where adults gather.

Until suddenly there was a commotion from the place of the children, making the guests become disturbed and curious about what happened there.

“Children of the Yarnell family quarrel with child of the Baines family.”

“It won't be easily resolved.”

“Betul, they are both from the upper nobility.”

The words of the people who were overheard by Nicholas who was still chatting with other guests, politely Nicholas asked for permission to leave then immediately checked his sister's whereabouts.

“What's up?” nicholas asked the people he saw in the crowd.

“Children of the Yarnell family and Baines quarrel.” Answer the question while focusing on seeing a fight between the reproaches of people who also joined the crowd.

No one dared to break up the ongoing brawl of two high noble children, they were afraid of being dragged along and getting into trouble if they dared to interfere until the fights that occurred ended as a spectacle of people.

With a hasty step, Nicholas went straight to the place he was referring to, then immediately broke through the people who were huddling to watch the fight.

Nicholas was shocked when he saw his sister beating the son of the Baines family all out, he said, realizing that there would be greater trouble if the fight continued, Nicholas immediately pulled Nora away from the fight so that he would no longer hit his opponent.

“Release!”

“Release!”

Nora's cry revolted to be broken, while her opponent was already helplessly sprawled on the floor.

“Who dares to touch me.” Threaten Nora who again tried to hit.

“I said let go!” his cry again rebelled wanting to resume fighting on his opponent who looked to have been dying.

“Plak!”

Without saying anything more Nicholas immediately slapped Nora's face which was still raging, making Nora instantly stunned and then silent when she realized that what attracted her was her own brother.

“Why are you fighting?!” nicholas asked Nora while trying to control her facial expression.

Nora grunted angrily refusing to answer her brother Nicholas's question and then looked at the child who had been exposed with a look of dislike.

“You don't want to talk?” Said Nicholas again who began to lure his emotions.

“Aaaaaa!”

Suddenly there was a scream of a woman who came in a hurry, broke through the crowd and then immediately approached the child who was now sitting down grimacing because of the fist he received from Nora.

“My boy! Oh no my dear!” pekiknya that sounds sad, people who hear it will certainly misunderstand if he is crying for his son who has died.

“Mother hurts.” The boy complained when his mother came while holding his bruised face from the fist that Nora gave him.

“Who?” Ask suddenly while looking at the crowd, “Son of the family who dares to look for trouble with the Baines.” family Shown with emotion, his eyes fell on Nora and Nicholas in an instant, and the woman knew who the child was fighting with.

“You from which family?!” he asked sarcastically and humbled when he realized that they were both unaccompanied by his master, it meant he had a greater chance of blaming him as a child who was not well-educated.

“Where are your parents?! Letting his son come to an event like this before completing his moral education, what a shame his parents must be as embarrassing as his children.” He said softly feeling great because he thought no one would defend the two children who were sculpting in front of him.

Nora clenched her hands ready to reply to the words of the woman who had insulted her entire family earlier, but Nicholas immediately clasped his shoulders making Nora not wince and just fell silent.

“She insulted Leathina's sister that's why I hit her.” Nora muttered softly.

“I know, my sister who is most loved by our eldest brother will not act penniless for no reason.” Reply Nicholas with a little whisper.

“Just be quiet, let me take care of.” Whisper Nicholas again.

“Inspect us madam.” Nicholas starts a conversation with the woman who is the mistress of the Baines family, the level of nobility can not be underestimated Baines family also contributes to support the kingdom that is why people should think first if they want to intersect with them.

“Have known your sister was wrong so good that you apologized, but I won't let this.” He said arrogantly.

“But Madam, Looks like the one who needs to get re-educated is you. I just this time faced an adult who fought children like us.” Reply Nicholas with a smile that expands on his cheek, making the Mistress of the Baines family embarrassed.

“You!” pekiknik not accept, “Keepers, drag these two brash kids away from here! Tell the people of his master that they should teach his children well.”

“Do not say like that madam.”

“Why?! Call your parents here.”

“Ah! My father Duke Leonard Yarnell is busy in the kingdom so can not come and my mother Duchess Nice, a close cousin of queen Juliette also has important affairs so can not come to meet you.” Said Nicholas who deliberately gushed the full name and title of his two masters.

Hearing who the parents of the child he had conceived it made the Madam of the Baines family stammer immediately, not expecting the problem to be runyam not as he initially thought.
