“Trak!”
Slowly Edward opened the door of the inn room occupied by Leathina when she finally returned after finishing her work, she was afraid that the sound of the door creaking woke Leathina who had fallen asleep first.
Adam, Troy, and Nina return first and get ready to go back to pretending to sleep in their respective places to make Leathina unsuspecting.
“Loh! Boss, why alone?” adam asked when he saw Edward coming alone, then immediately sat down and peeked behind Edward again looking for someone.
“Who are you looking for?” edward did not understand and looked.
“Master, can you go with Miss Leathina?” ask Troy who's looking.
“Hah?! Isn't Leathina sleeping?” Said Edward directly looking back at the pile of pillows arranged to resemble a sleeping person. although covered in blankets Edward could immediately tell if there was just a pile of pillows instead of a human body, his observant eyes could easily tell the difference.
“Master, we think you and Miss deliberately made the scarecrow on the mattress so as not to be caught out by the inn owner.” Nina said that she had also known since coming that not the person who lay on the mattress but only a pillow that was arranged to resemble the shape of a person.
“What do you mean?! I just came back, haven't met Leathina since leaving this inn with you guys.”
“Akh!” pekik Nina was surprised to realize the situation had become strange.
“Did someone kidnap her?” troy said worried.
“Damn it!” umpat Edward is no less worried, “I know this will happen, quickly find Lea, if indeed someone kidnapped him then they have not come out of the village.” Said Edward rushing to find Leathina as well as the others.
The four of them immediately split up to find Leathina's whereabouts to explore every street corner and every inn that was not much in the village they stopped by, making it easier for them to search.
“How have you met?” adam asked Troy and Nina but responded with a headband.
“We didn't find anything?” answer the two who are getting worried.
“It's really messed up!” reveal Adam upset, “Quick search again!” the three of them split up again to look for Leathina who suddenly disappeared.
Edward had searched all corners of the village and all the inns in the village but still could not find a clue who had brought Leathina.
because he felt something strange Edward returned to the inn then checked all the contents of the room including storage cabinets.
Edward does not find any of Leathina's belongings, but Edward realizes that Leathina was not kidnapped but escaped.
"Stupid! Leathina must not have slept while we were all gone, why could I forget that Leathina was not an ordinary woman she was so smart. Leathina must have been suspicious from the start, the danger that Leathina would misunderstand."
Soon after Edward returned to search for Leathina, he asked the innkeeper if he saw a woman leaving the inn but no one saw Leathina leaving.
"The back door, must be through the back door and into the forest area!"
Sure enough the back door of the inn that had to be locked instead opened, visible traces of walking into the forest Edward then immediately followed fear if something happened to Leathina in the forest.
...
“I wonder why they suddenly asked me to sleep first, so there is a reason behind all their treatment.” Inner Leathina.
Leathina peeked through her room just in case she was afraid that Edward and the others were still in there watching her pretend to be asleep.
“I don't think.” Leathina muttered then immediately sat down and covered her face with her palm trying to calm herself down.
“Will they take me back? What do they want? Of course they couldn't have come all the way here just looking for me without any other purpose, I should have realized. I'm too involved with my feelings.” Gumam Leathina was still shocked because it turned out that even Edward, Troy, and Nina had hidden intentions and had other plans that were not told by her uncle, it made Leathina filled with prejudice.
“Did I just go back to the Almo mansion settle there in some time?” his mind again remembered the words of Almo to him some time ago that before passing the destiny set for him then no one will know what will happen to his uncle and from the first people in the world the government does not like its existence.
“Can't be like this I have to leave before they come back!” Leathina panicked then hurriedly arranged her bed as well as she could resemble her sleeping self.
Leathina hurriedly packed all her belongings back and immediately left the inn through the back door even the innkeeper himself did not know that Leathina had left.
“Luckily before they came I had already found out the entire structure of the inn building and the streets in the village, I was already on guard if I would suddenly find a situation like this. The innate premonition of Leathina's body cannot be underestimated.” His murmur was relieved.
Leathina ran as fast as possible to enter the forest when the sun would rise making her not have to worry about lighting because soon the sun will rise.
Leathina let out a heavy sigh then walked slowly towards the cliff in front of the village she had been in from a distance then sat under a tree to rest for a while before continuing her journey.
“Oh! Seeing the sunrise from here is really amazing, the morning sun is so beautiful.” Gumam Leathina slowly then again sighed heavily for the umpteenth time because she felt heavy having to part with Edward and his entourage.
Leathina knew that they did not want to do evil, but Leathina did not like to be lied to that is why Leathina had to leave them instead of being lied to by people she already believed.
“I'm really very happy to see them back after a long time no see unfortunately we have to part now.” Leathina muttered and then returned.
Leathina breathed deeply then let go slowly to gather her strength back after feeling weak from being forced to flee from her own friends.
“Ah! Let's just hope Edward doesn't change his mind and kill me like he did on the real plot.”
“Actually I feel guilty leaving without saying goodbye to you, sorry I left suddenly see you and see you again.” Leathina said, then continued her journey.
“Akh!” Leathina's cry as it was suddenly pulled almost fell down.
“If you feel guilty why you should go!” Edward, with his emotions, grabbed Leathina by Leathina's hand, making it difficult for Leathina to move in pain.
“Edward?!” leathina exclaimed in surprise mixed with confusion as Edward managed to find her.
“Akh! Edward.” Leathina squirms trying to release Edward who is too strong to hold her hand.
“APA!” Edward who lost patience even burned emotions then instead of releasing Leathina he even further tightened his grip.
“Edward! It hurts..” Leathina who had felt a pain in her wrist tried to break away.
“Edward Release! Pain, this hurts!” pinta Leathina while banging Edward's hand hoping Edward will let go of his grip.
Edward ignored Leathina's request, but he became more and more mad about dragging Leathina forcibly back to the village.
“Edward Release!” leathina's voice grew bigger and bigger in revolt while Edward still did not flinch from Leathina's drag and continued to walk to the village.
“Edward is sick, I beg you to let go!” pinta Leathina again hoped that this time Edward would listen to her.
Edward finally stopped dragging Leathina but his grip was still not let go, Edward tightened it even more.
“Release!” Pinta Leathina Emotion.
“If I let go you want to run away again!” Edward's snapping surprised Leathina, this was the first time Edward had snapped at her and for the first time Edward had the emotion of her work.
“Before I've seen him angry, but his anger is not for me. Why suddenly become this emotional?!” leathina's then confused mind did not know why Edward could be so angry now.
“Where else did you run? You really want to leave without leaving behind a word to me that has already spoiled everything just to look for you to this extent?! Let's say!” Snapped Edward with fiery emotion.
"When did I ask you to look for me!"
“Awww!” leathina screams in pain, and her wrists held by Edward have been flushed and even injured.
“My birthday will crumble if he still holds my hand.” Inner Leathina endured the pain.
“I SAID RELEASE!” Shouted Leathina emotion.
Leathina who could no longer endure the pain in her hand then twisted Edward's hand and then stomped on Edward's foot as hard as possible trying to escape.
“Awww!” Leathina's screams in pain.
Unfortunately Leathina's efforts were in vain, Edward absolutely could not he conquer even his hands hurt because Edward increasingly you hold it then his feet felt throbbing after stepping on the feet of Edward who turned out to use hard shoes.
“Let go berensek, I said hurt ya hurt!” Shouted Leathina resignedly then crouched down and covered her face with one hand that was still free.
“Akh! Leathina ma-forgive me, I didn't mean ..”
Edward, who was only aware of his actions, stammered when he saw Leathina as she pleased while covering her face with one hand.
“Sick!” leathina said softly and still lowered her head.
“Hey, hey, Leathina?!” call Edward who is now also crouching trying to calm Leathina who is getting harder and harder as if to hold back the crying.
“I said hurt ya hurt.” Shouted Leathina again later when Edward was caught off guard in panic seeing himself crying quickly he pulled his hand and finally managed to escape from Edward's restraint.
The frightened Leathina is again captured by Edward's reflexes of running away from Edward.
“Leathina?!” Said Edward surprised to see Leathina's body trembling, Edward who also panicked then again tried to calm Leathina and walked closer to her.
“This is the first time I saw Leathina crying, am I being too much?” Edward's inner self, now feeling guilty and fearful, saw Leathina's body tremble as she approached him.
“Don't you dare come any closer! You want to kill me?!” Shouted Leathina furiously.
Leathina who still felt pain in her wrist due to Edward's grip then showed it to Edward.
“Leathina forgive me.” Said Edward regretting his actions.
“Ah, I really went too far how could I have hurt Leathina.” Inner Edward, his mind was getting less and less at the sight of Leathina the longer she feared her solids.
“Leathina don't retreat again dangerous, hurry here.” Pinta Edward gently fears Leathina falling onto a cliff.
“I said don't come closer otherwise I'll jump off this cliff,”
“Leathina why?”
“You scared Edward, I'm afraid, I'm afraid you're killing me like the rest of your victims.”
“Akh, Fuck. Surprised to see Edward's behavior turn out to be like this, it made me think that Edward would really kill me, my body shaking with fear.” Inner Leathina tried to stand with her two legs that had not been strong enough to support herself because of fear.
Edward was aghast at Leathina's words, his hands shook with fear and then fell down, not suspecting that he had scared Leathina to the point of wanting to end his own life in front of her. edward returns to his rational mind when he sees Leathina retreating and tries to stop Leathina from returning.
“Leathina forgive me, I was wrong, I was wrong so Leathina come here dangerously you can get hurt if you fall off a cliff.” Edward said slowly trying to make Leathina listen to him.
“I told you not to come closer here,” Leathina more reckless every time Edward approached her he also retreated backwards until there were only a few steps from her to get to the mouth of the cliff.
“Leathina danger! Listen to me first, I know why you're angry but I have reason I didn't mean to lie to you, this is all for your good.”
“I said don't come near!” leathina shouted again, afraid that Edward might get closer to her.
“Leathina you're sorry, I'm out of control, I, I don't know why all of a sudden I couldn't control myself until I hurt you like that but for now I beg you to come here quickly don't back down again you can fall.”
“For my own good? Just tell me if people from the kingdom ask you to take me home. Edward I said don't come any closer I'm afraid of you, I'm really afraid of you.”
“All right, well, Leathina I know, you deserve to be afraid of me, if you're afraid I can back off and you can go I promise I'll let you go but for now keep away from that cliff.”
“I can't believe, I will definitely find me again and again then force me to go home to the kingdom.”
“Leathina enough! Hurry up here don't back down again.” Edward was again furious, fearing that Leathina had actually fallen off a cliff and been injured.
“Leathina quick to come here, I'd rather force you than see you fall off a cliff.” Edward no longer cared if Leathina was afraid of her solids, the priority now being Leathina's safety, Edward was really afraid that Leathina would fall.
“I've fallen from a cliff before, I won't die if I fall again.” Inner Leathina while peering down looking for something that might be able to hold her body later if it really falls.
“Bos!”
“Mr Ed!”
Adam and Troy cried almost simultaneously when they saw Edward, then were surprised to see Leathina now standing on the edge of the cliff.
“Leathina what are you doing there!” nina's screams were surprised to see Leathina on the edge of the cliff.
“Do not approach!” leathina exclaimed as she saw the three of them coming simultaneously and diverted her attention away from Edward.
“Akh!” Pekik Leathina's.
