I'M A Villains In My Second Life
The Chapter 201

“What's the problem?” ask the duke to his two children who still look emotional.

“You alone have solved your problems, father did not interfere to appreciate the decision you decided to solve your own problems, do you two regret, need to extend the problem?”

“No need dad.” Answer Nora.

“So what's the problem?” ask the Duke again.

“I'm annoyed, they say big brother deserves it.”

“So they insult your sister again?”

Nora nodded, her eyes glazed over but tried to hold her so that her cries would not break.

“Crying just don't hold.” Said Nicholas but still looking the other way, not wanting to see the way Nora was afraid if her sister was offended.

Nora shook her head quickly, then rubbed the corner of her watery eyes with her shoulder. “I'm not crying.” Said slowly.

“Daddy is still no news?” ask Nicholas.

“Not yet,” Duke Leonard replied briefly.

after answering Nichola's question the three of them then quietly dissolved in each other's minds until they arrived at the mansion.

“Welcome sir.” Welcome his servant who is waiting for the return of Duke Leonard.

“What's up?” tanyakanya.

“A letter has just arrived Mr.”

“Indeed why if there is a letter coming, it is every day there is always a letter sent to my father.” Said Nicholas who had just got out of the carriage after his father came out and heard their conversation.

“His letter is tied red ribbon by Mr. Duke, so I think the contents of his letter may be important and should be read immediately.”

“From kingdom?” ask the Duke again.

“There is no royal symbol of Mr. Duke, his letter is plain just tied red ribbon.”

"Give me.”

The waiter gave the letter to the Duke and then immediately returned. While the Duke watched the letter before it opened, he saw a letter that could very well have no pattern of identity from which it was sent and who sent it was just a red ribbon neatly wrapped around the roll of the letter in its handle.

Carefully the Duke began to unroll the tape, opened the still-rolled shabby paper and began to read it.

How shocked the Duke was when he read the first line of words.

Long time no see dad.

The inscription on the initial sentence, made Duke lost his joy and almost fell, cold sweat began to feel his palms.

“What's wrong?!” nicholas and Nora were surprised to see his father's reaction after opening the letter given to him. Just this time Nicholas and Nora saw the expression of her father who was so shocked like that.

“Dad, this ...” said Nicholas stuttered when he accidentally read the first half of the letter that was still his father's hand firmly.

“Silent, don't say anything.” His father said firmly then immediately walked to his office followed by Nicholas and Nora.

Duke asked Nicholas to lock his office from the inside and then immediately took a seat and read the contents of the letter he received carefully.

Long time no see dad.

This is your daughter, Leathina Yarnell. After I was taken away by the raging Dragon in the kingdom a lot of things happened to me, I couldn't explain them in detail but I'm fine now. I might not be able to return in a long time so don't worry too much about me and stop searching. Please give my regards to Nicholas and Nora as well as to mom.

Leathina Yarnell's.

Duke Leonard pensively after finished reading the contents of the letter, he gripped the letter firmly. Her matan pelukan wet relief because the worry about the news of Leathina's death spread is not real. But at the same time he also worried his head full of question marks why his daughter could not return if it was fine.

“Dad.” Call Nicholas who is worried to see his father continue to daydream from earlier, then take a letter and read to him Nora also peeked beside him.

“Ayan, this?!” he said again who was as surprised as his father.

“Why can't Leathina's sister return?” ask Nora disappointed.

“Listen to me.” Said Duke Leonard firmly then his hand took back Leathina's letter from Nicholas' hand, his two children immediately listened seriously.

“Leathina's problem is no ordinary problem, after her ability is known to many people who want your sister. Leathina becomes the target of those who want to utilize her unique abilities some of the outer nobles have even sent letters to offer assistance in conducting the search but on the condition that Leathina must perform a political marriage if found, she said, they were trying to obtain offspring with the same abilities as Leathina. So keep this news a secret, lest anyone know that Leathina is fine and send word, as much as possible do not make contact with outsiders just in case.”

“Good dad.” Nicholas and nora understood.

“Nora return to your room.” Pinta Duke Leonard, inevitably Nora must obey even though she actually still wants to keep hearing news about her brother Leathina who she has not heard for a long time.

“Daddy what we will do.” Nicholas asked seriously.

“I will still do the search, if suddenly stop then people will be suspicious.”

“Are you really going to let Leathina take such a fuss?”

“No, I'll keep looking for him until I find him. It would be safer if he came back. Leathina may not yet know that she is now a target of political and business people from the upper class who are crazy for power.”

“What a situation like this, I think this is really unfair for him.” Nicholas muttered in disbelief, Leahina's situation was getting more dangerous and the situation was getting worse.

“To now return to your room Nicholas, the rest let father take care of it.” Duke Leoanrd then kept the first letter that Leathina had sent him.

“Ah, dad!” Nicholas's strangulation got something he thought was good.

“What's Nicholas?”

“Daddy says we shouldn't be known to people that Leathina is fine,”

“We can not be sure if your sister Leathina really okay, it could be that she said like that because she does not want to make us worry.” Duke Leonard thought again.

“Dad doesn't want people to know the news about Leathina's sister but I still want to do the search secretly, but who do you trust?” ask Nicholas.

“True, if the father directly left the kingdom then people will immediately suspect and if the father sends you away also the same material. We also can't constantly send Winter to do the work for personal reasons.”

“Daddy what if we ask for help from a shadow army group they are also reliable in looking for someone, even though they are cold-blooded killers they still do their job with strict rules even though they have to be paid a high price if using their services.”

“Your words make sense, but it's too risky for Leathina dad to be afraid if they want Leathina too.”

“Why stop?” ask duke.

“Leathina was familiar with their organization, when Leathina disappeared earlier what dad remembered when sending me winter to look for her we had trouble finding Leathina because the organization was hiding Leathina and seemed to be trying to protect Leathina.”

“Daddy also berfirki like that, if you see the nature of Leathina that is not open with anyone we also do not know with certainty.”

“But this only stay father whose risk is smaller.”

“Alright, dad understands. You're too young to meet people like them, I'll send you away with Winter. For now pretend nothing happened.”

“Good dad I understand,”

“Go back to your room.”

After discussing the plan they were going to do Nicholas obediently returned to his room leaving his own father.

The Duke wrote a letter and asked a guard to send it as soon as possible at Winter, which he had asked to rest.

“Nora.” Nicholas exclaimed in surprise when he saw Nora crouching next to the door did not immediately return when he told his father earlier.

“Is everything okay?” ask Nora who is still worried.

Nicholas looked at Nora fervently and did not know what he had to say to make his sister stop being sad he also did not want to give false hope to Nora who seemed very hopeful of getting good news.

“Don't you see the contents of the letter, Leathina is fine.” Nicholas said that in the end still gives uncertain hope to Nora.

“But he won't be back either, what if as safe as he will never come back here this is all because of those freaks.” Nora said emotionfully remembering how people treated Leathina.

“Unlike that,” Nicholas sighed then whispered something to Nora. “Dad will still do the search and bring Leathina back so don't worry too much.” Nicholas Whispers.

Nora was happy to hear that they did not give up on the search but then immediately glum back considering that they had been looking for a long time but had not been able to find Leathina's whereabouts.

“Come quickly back dad already asked us back.”

Quickly Nicholas immediately left his father's office followed by Nora and then separated into their respective rooms.

...

“Young master no letter from Duke Leonard family residence, like this this is an important letter because it was delivered directly by a person from the Duke's residence and this person did not want to give the letter he brought to me because duke Leonard ordered him to have to give this letter directly to you.” Said a servant who came to tell Winter who was in the backyard practicing swordsmanship.

“Alright, have the person who delivered the letter come to see me.” Winter answered and then kept his sword waiting for the man he meant.

Fine, Mr.”

Not long after that the servant came back followed by a soldier who tailed behind him.

“What's up?” tannya Winter's.

“Duke Leonard Yarnell asked me to give this directly to you.”

“Alright, come back.” Said Winter after receiving the letter addressed to her uncle.

After fulfilling his duties the soldier immediately returned to the duke's residence in between by the servant had arrived at the main door.

“Why suddenly Duke Yarnell sent me such a very important letter after asking me to take a vacation.” He then sat down on the gazebo not far from where he was training.

“Leathina, this how can?!” Her speech unknowingly mentioned Leathina's name.                                 

In the letter that Duke sent Winter saying that Leathina sent the letter but did not tell him where she is now, no one knows who sent it and where it came from. Duke asks Winter to come see him immediately.

“What's the master?” asked his servant when he passed the master while he was just going back to the backyard.

“I will meet Duke leonard, immediately prepare my outfit.” Said Winter followed by his servant who also rushed because of Winter.

After cleaning his body and wearing the clothes reserved for him Winter rushed to go to Duke Leonard's residence as the duke requested in his letter.

“What happened uncle?!” ask Winter directly when he meets Duke Leonard.

“Leathina sent us a letter and only until this afternoon, she won't be back in a long time and strangely she doesn't want us to search for her.” Duke then placed a letter with Leathina's handwriting on the table to show Winter.

“What is this leather really Leathina's handwriting?” winter asked a little doubt about the letter she was reading.

“True, this is Leathina's handwriting I've confirmed it many times.”

“Ah! Kenap suddenly so like this, does he know that he is now being targeted by people who want to take advantage of his ability?”

“He doesn't know yet, and just like him he doesn't want to come back for another reason.”

“Then we have to pick him up uncle, before someone uses him.”

“Such like it will be difficult.”

“How about the letter, we can get a hint if know where this paper is in production and who delivered it.”

“The type of letter paper he sent was very low quality that the quality of the letter in the slums in our kingdom was better than the type of paper you hold so it was confirmed that Leathina nothing in this kingdom and just like Leathina now really exists in a very far and difficult place to reach.”

“True what uncle said, this letter is like it has been written for a long time and long on the way seen from his glorious stint faded and his very shabby and torn paper.”

“You know for yourself Leathina might be in danger if people find out that Leathina is alive so we'll do a two-way search, first keep on pursuing your quest blatantly so that people think that Leathina is still unaccounted for and second Nicholas proposes to conduct a secret search by enlisting the help of the black organization of the shadow army.”

“But uncle, that organization contains people that uncle can't trust knows for himself right?”

“I know, but they are very expert in this there is no other option nor can I suddenly send you back out after I give you permission to take a leave.”

“True what uncle said, this is the only way to trace Leathina.”'s whereabouts

“Tonight go to their guild with Nicholas secretly and make a request to find someone, even if it contains sneaky people they are still professionals keeping their customers secret.”

“Good uncle I understand, tonight I will go to their guild with Nicholas.”

“Then go to Nicholas' room, I ask him to wait for you there arrange for no one to know what you are doing.”

Winter nodded in understanding then immediately went out to Nicholas' room, pretending to visit him so as not to be suspected by people.
