I'M A Villains In My Second Life
Chapter 229's

Edward with a serious look walked beside Leathina, Edward did not turn his head in the slightest but from the corner of his eyes he had been watching the surroundings.

“Are you worried someone will attack suddenly?” Tanya Leathina who had also noticed the mimic of Edward's face.

“No tone would dare to hurt you.” Edward answered, looking down, and for the umpteenth time, he repaired Leathina's robe so that her face and hair would not be seen.

“Come!” Said Edward while pulling Leathina to get back on her way.

“Thanks.” Said Leathina suddenly while aligning her footsteps with Edward and afterwards no longer saying anything but walking quietly beside Edward.

“Umm?” Edward was stunned for a moment but did not stop walking and his gaze was still focused forward.

“For?” Briefly talk.

Leathina turned to look at Edward who was now also looking at her and smiling sincerely.

“For everything, thanks.” He said again then looked straight ahead and continued to walk on his way.

Edward did not reply to Leathina's sentence just now he just stared at her a little longer then smiled sincerely and refocused forward.

“Come, we must hurry soon we will reach the kingdom.” Edward said as he walked a little faster bringing Leathina with him.

“True?” Tanya Leathina was a little happy because her exhausting journey would end but also sad for fear that her return would create a stir.

“It's okay, don't worry about anything I da disismu.” Said Edward suddenly.

Leathian stopped daydreaming after hearing Edward's words of a satisfied smile and returned excited.

“You don't want to serve them first?” Leathina asked as she winked her eyes cunningly and looked back.

“I as much as possible refrain from cleaning them up because you are here.” Edward tightened his grip that was still grasping Leathina's hand as if afraid Leathina would be left behind or fall.

“I'm not that weak.” Leathina muttered a little disappointed thinking that Edward underestimated her.

“Don't think strangely, I'm just worried that something happened to you that's it.” As if knowing what the contents of Leathina Edward's head gently told Leathina made Leathina soften a little.

The two continued on their journey even though each of them had felt the people following them getting closer and closer to them.

“Do not turn.” Edward's words prevented Leathina from looking back or glancing around him.

“Leave it alone, pretend that we are not aware of their existence would be better if they are off guard like now.” Edward tells Leathina to walk as she normally would and remains pretending that she does not know where they are.

Leathina nodded in understanding without asking again she walked back as usual.

“Lea, look!” Edward pointed in one direction.

“What's up?” Leathina asked as she looked at the direction Edward had forced her to.

“That's the city border.” He answered while looking at the high-cut border that was still far ahead of them but still visible.

“Hah?!” Leathina was silent for a moment.

“What's up?” Edward asked worriedly.

Leathina shook her head in a slightly panicked manner as she suddenly stared.

“It's okay Ed, I. I'm just scared Back to the kingdom.” Leathina set her breathing to calm down but her heartbeat was still racing faster than usual.

Leathina is again worried that her return will make the kingdom chaotic even though she has been rumored to die, Leathina is also afraid that her family will no longer accept her after knowing her secret.

“Leathina?” Call Edward who is still worried because even though Leathina stated that it is okay but his attitude is inversely proportional to his speech.

Leathina was sweating coldly and her breathing was irregular, although pretending all was well she did not show it, the worried mimic was clearly visible on her face.

“Leathina?” Call Edward again.

“A.. I, I'm fine, really!” Leathina quickly answered Edward's call that ended her fear reverie just now.

Edward did not speak he just stared fixedly at Leathina while trying to calm Leathina down by patting her gently on the shoulder.

“Nothing, already I lost I will be by your side.” Said Edward again after Leathina looked calmer.

Leathina inhaled a deep breath then took off with her mouth trying to win her over who was suddenly attacked by panic.

After quiet Back Leathina nodded, “Iya, I'll be fine.” He said optimistically then supported by Edward the two then walked back to continue the journey that will soon reach the border gate of the kingdom of Coniferland.
