I'M A Villains In My Second Life
The Chapter 215

Leathina continued to look at Edward who seemed to enjoy what he was doing and each of them met Edward spontaneously smiled and then continued his activities again to feed Leathina until the porridge in the bowl was exhausted.

Every time Leathina saw him Edward immediately smiled making her feel that she had to suspect his actions lest Edward who was now sweet his solid was planning something else.

Leathina was used to seeing the fake smile that Edward deliberately made while in the palace and met people, her lips were smiling but her eyes still seemed to be anxiously observing everyone who met her, but this time it was different Edward's smile that Leathina saw now looked more lively than ever, her red lips continued to smile curvingly adorned her face which was like a portrait plus her eyes that looked like a puppy that was happy to see its owner after a long time did not meet.

“You seem very happy.” Leathina finally made a sound after a long silence and only focused on swallowing the porridge that Edward had fed into her mouth.

“Humm?” Edward stared at Leathina after blowing the porridge on the spoon and then fed it to Leathina after it was felt to have been cold, “What?” edward asked because it was not clear what Leathina said before, after that she was busy cleaning up the leftovers on Leathina's lips by rubbing her hand to Leathina's lips.

“Umh, why did you clean it by hand?! don't you have a handkerchief?” Leathina grumbled and then brushed off Edward's hand and immediately grabbed the handkerchief on the table and cleaned her own mouth.

“Why?” edward asked without feeling it was not a matter of concern.

“Dirty Edward, this is dirty, your hands so dirty.” Gerrutu Leathina was still busy cleaning her mouth.

“No this is not dirty.” Edward replied casually then licked the tip of his thumb that he had used to clean Leathina's lips were covered in porridge.

“Ihk!” Leathina gawked and shuddered in horror at the other side of Edward she had just shown.

“Did you do something like this to others too?!” looked at Edward with a strange look, “Clean your hands with this, you think I like to see you like that.” Leathina then threw the handkerchief she had used on Edward.

“Why?” edward asked innocently, “The average woman likes kok,” he said again then finally cleaned his hands with a handkerchief that Leathina threw at him.

“What a woman would dare to see you so, before seeing you act so strangely you must have slit her throat first. If you want, you'll be a wild cat there.” Chirps Leathina then grabbed a glass of water from the table and drank it.

“Didn't I look cute?” edward asked and smiled when he saw Leathina's reddened face when he saw the action.

“Uhukk .. uhukk .. uhukk!” Leathina coughed in the water she had just drunk.

“Ah! Leathina are you okay?” edward asked frantically then immediately helped Leathina, patting her on the back until Leathina stopped coughing

“You are teasing me huh?!! go you, I don't want to see you.” Leathina exclaimed with a reddened face then drove Edward away and immediately lay on his lid until it covered his entire head.

“Danger! It's dangerous! Why his nature suddenly changed.” Inner Leathina panicked who sensed there were many changes to Edward after almost half a year he had left the kingdom.

Previously, Edward did often tease Leathina but with other intentions, different from what is now seen however Edward had hidden intentions.

“Leathina?” call Edward but Leathina willfully doesn't answer.

“Leathina?” call Edward again.

“What?!” rishih was called on and it seemed like Edward would not give up bothering him and calling his name Leathina finally gave up.

“Leathina there's something I want to say.” Edward was serious.

Leathina who heard Edward this time spoke more seriously and did not playfully anymore then got out of her blanket and sat back in the aid of Edward.

“What?” leathina asked seriously.

“I'm sorry I didn't tell you before,” he said in a soft tone. “but trust me I did it for your own good Leathina.”

Leathina nodded in understanding not wanting to linger and convoluted with the matter that had already passed, “So if you feel guilty to me now you have to tell me everything without anything being hidden minus know you intentionally exaggerate.” Pinta Leathina seriously then responded with a nod by Edward.

“After the dragon monster rampaging in the kingdom took you away with him Duke Leonard, the, your father was like a madman chasing you that night as well he followed in which direction the monster took you unfortunately he could not catch up to you and became very frustrated. After returning Duke Leonard immediately formed a search team of soldiers who worked for the Leonard family, the kingdom also increased the number of search soldiers from the kingdom, search teams scattered throughout the kingdom, a day goes by, then time passes very quickly into a week to months and you are still nowhere to be found, I myself also sent a request for help to the nearby kingdoms to inform if I find you unfortunately from the many kingdoms we contact they also did not give good news and the duke and your family were increasingly frustrated to the point of rarely socialize again and focus on your existence.” Edward is at length.

“My dad did that?” leathina asked slightly in disbelief hearing her father acting like that after her departure. “I think he will do the search process as can.” He then waited for Edward to continue his story.

“Leathina!” edward's exclaims gripped Leathina's shoulders made Leathina startled and immediately distanced her body from Edward.

“Ka-you why is this Edward?” leathina asked a little nervously because Edward was so hard on her shoulder.

“Leathina why do you always think as if you are worthless.” Edward said that from the tone of his voice he sounded disappointed. “Why did you choose not to return, do you really hate the people in the kingdom - your father and I? Indeed they did not treat you well I also at that time did not pay the least attention to you, but now different after meeting you I know you are a good person and do not deserve to be treated like that.”

“Edward!” call Leathina firmly, looked at Edward seriously then brushed off the hand of Edward who was still gripping his shoulder. “Don't beg me to bring up the past, there are many reasons why I could hate you and leave the kingdom, or would I give a clear reason? Doesn't knowing that you all hate me and don't care how I used to be is more than enough of an excuse for me not to return to the kingdom!” Cold Leathina. “You were the same at first, weren't you? You who know nothing so shut up!”

Edward was silent and could only stare at Leathina without being able to reply to Leathina's last statement to make her not dwell, he knew very well that he did not have the right to interfere in Leathina's affairs. “Ah! I'm sorry Leathina, I interfered so much that I didn't notice how you felt and I forced my feelings on you.” Lirih.

“Huff...!” Leathina let out a long sigh, actually not intending to hit Edward with her past life, seeing Edward become injured because his words made Leathina could not bear to see him.

“Hah! Forget it, now tell me why did you offer to come find me with Adam and the others?” tanya Leathina then deliberately changed the topic so as not to be too protracted in the quarrel between the two of them.

“One day Duke Leonard suddenly got a letter without an address and the name of the sender was wrapped in a new red ribbon then Duke Leonard knew that it was from you when he opened it and read the contents, The Duke, who was happy to learn that the princess he was looking for was still alive, then panicked because you said you did not want to return from the kingdom, Duke who does not want people to know your whereabouts then hides your letter then secretly contacts the shadow army organization and asks for help to search for you in secret.”

Edward nodded coupled with his awkward smile as Leathina knew the charade against her family. “you are really cunning Edward.” Said Leathina, “That's why I'm afraid of you.” He murmured later in a smaller voice. “Why did my father hide my letter and not want people to know that I am still alive?” leathina asked again before Edward asked again what she meant.

“You are really good at switching conversations Leathina.” Edward muttered resignedly but then did not dispute it and answered Leathina's question. “After people find out that you have healing abilities higher than ordinary healer magic users they become in an uproar and become obsessed with finding you in order to cure them, you know most of the people you healed that night because of the ruins of the buildings healed even with their congenital diseases, you are a target in the kingdom even some other kingdoms interested in offering intense help to find you unfortunately rejected by Duke Leonard.”

“Why?” ask Leathina.

“Because as gani help them ask for a political marriage for you, they want the same offspring with your ability to monopolize you.”

“Ah! I knew this kind of thing would definitely happen if a lot of people knew, some greedy person who saw the benefits would definitely do something crazy, he said, but I don't think that they are planning to arrange a political marriage just because they want to get offspring who are the same ability as me.”

“Just imagine the many advantages they can take if they have the ability like you even the kingdom can submit if you sneaky Leathina maybe you can monopolize the nobles who have high status but are not good in his health and made him submit to you, right? luckily you're not as evil as people rumored.”

“What are you saying, if they manage to control me and by utilizing this ability of mine maybe they will immediately start a war to seize other kingdoms and expand their power without worrying about medical supplies and injured people.”

Edward stared at Leathina. “You why?” leathina asked confusedly looking at the silent Edward and kept looking at him.

“I didn't think up to that extent that Leathina my thoughts were only limited to them selling your abilities for money but your words just now made perfect sense with your abilities that the government definitely doesn't need much more funds to medical supplies and wounded soldiers can heal and fight back without waiting for the normal wound healing process may take months and may even have to add a new supply of soldiers. how can you think of starting a war?” Edward asked slightly amazed at Leathina's thought.

“I who have this ability of course have thought of various possibilities if people know, that's why I hid it.”

“You want to start Leathina's war and build your own empire? Ask Edward suddenly. “I have many followers who have the ability to exceed soldiers and of course with your ability we will certainly menag without a doubt worrying about injuries that will be the impact later.” Edward's bargain left Leathina dumbfounded by his offer.

Leathina looked Edward in the eye trying to figure out if what she said was serious or just a joke but it seemed that Edward was very serious when offering Leathina to form a new kingdom.

“Huff..! Leathina sighed as she looked into Edward's earnest eyes.

“You know I'm also a prince.” Say again.

“That couldn't be Edward, and I didn't want to either, all I wanted was to live quietly without worrying about running out of money later.” Said Leathina while Edward only focused on listening to Leathina's wishes.

“Only that's your wish?” ask Edward again.

Hearing Edward's question made Leathina suddenly think of various things she wanted to do during her first life. “Ah! Of course many of them I want to live with my partner later without any actor interference, then live happily and much more.” Said Leathina who randomly said a little of the many desires that were now piled on her head.

“Pelakor?” edward did not understand. “What it is, it's the first time I heard it.”

“Ah! That means without a bully in two couples living together so after two couples promise to be together forever there can be no third person,” clearly the real Leathina was also nervous because she used language that Edward did not understand.

“Third person?” edward muttered while thinking ape, “But isn't having a concubine as the third person desirable in the kingdom? There are even the fourth and seventh.” Say again.

“Well! I mean, I don't want a third, fourth, seventh or tenth person, only me and my partner to age until they're separated by will, ' he said, that is what is called true love and living semati.” Leathina was proud of her explanation.

“So like that, it's just you and me later?” exciting Edward understands, “Ah! I mean, it's just you and your partner and then live together. I will remember your wish.” Edward said again straightening as Leathina looked at him with a strange look. "But Leathina why is your only desire, is not having power much better if you become a leader in a kingdom you do not need to fear being underestimated are people really longing for such things? Coupled with the support of your ability to make such a wish is no longer impossible, right?”

“I don't need such troublesome things.” Said Leathina right away, “And anyway if I constantly use my abilities then I can lose myself.” Leathina Mumbles.

“What do you mean?” edward asked again not to understand what Leathina meant.

“Hah!” Leathina sighed heavily, “I don't know if I should judge you smart or stupid Edward,” She said jokingly looking at Edward who is now back serious.

“Why is that Leathina? I mean why could you lose yourself?”

“Don't it become common knowledge that if you get something then there has to be a price you pay? Like a magic user instead to use his abilities he must have enough mana in his body just like our healing magic users must have a lot of energy in order to heal others. The magic user is biased if the mana in his body is depleted then they can reassemble it, likewise, their healing magic users can also collect their energy back as their body condition improves, but if the healing magic is used continuously without regard to the condition of the user, the absorbed energy can be energy of his body itself is channeled to the body of others and if excessive then the energy of his life may be drained and take the life of its user.” Leathina to Edward.

Hearing the explanation from Leathina Edward's expression changed for a moment Leathina who saw him then became curious, “You why Edward?” tanyakanya.

“Leathina would be dangerous for you to continue using your abilities?” edward asked with a nod by Leathina.

“Then in the future you tidk ...”

“Tok, Tok, Tok,”

“Excuse Mister!”

Edward had not had time to finish his sentence suddenly the door of the room was knocked then followed by the voice of Nina who called him made him undo his intention to finish his sentence and immediately went to open the door,

“Wait a minute Lea.” Edward then left.
