I'M A Villains In My Second Life
Chapter 234's

Leathina and Troy then quickly go home as fast as he can, Troy very carefully looks after Leathina as he promises with his life to protect her in front of Edward as Leathina goes out shopping with him in town.

“You don't like that Troy, let me bring some stuff.”

Leathina grabs some of the grocery bags Troy carries but Troy nimbly refuses.

“Can't be Miss Lea, your main safety what if later you scratched. I can be beheaded on the spot.”

Hearing Troy made Leathina exhale heavily, noticing Troy exaggerating the situation made her feel uneasy.

“You don't want me to come again huh? That's why you don't want me to help you.”

“Ah! Unlike that Miss Lea, I mean I really really did not dare to make Miss Lea carry these items, moreover I am very strong.” Troy showed off his muscles in front of Lea proudly and confidently demonstrated his ability to carry multiple items at a time.

“Really?” Leathina deliberately lured Troy.

“True, look how strong I am.”

“What are you doing in front of Miss Lea, Stupid!”  there was a female voice that suddenly cursed Troy.

“Ah, we turned out to be together at home.” Leathina santa.

It was seen that Nina and Edward were preparing to come out complete with their respective swords hanging from his waist, they all accidentally passed in the courtyard fence.

“Akh!” Troy shrieked in fear as Edward stared at him intensely, proudly showing off his muscles in front of Leathina shrieked then walked back and took refuge behind Leathina.

“Why are you late to go home? Is there a problem?” Edward asked worriedly, then separated Leathina from Troy as soon as possible.

“Nothing, we were late because I forgot the time while walking around in the market. Don't over-inspire Troy, Ed.” Leathina smiled amusedly at Edward who wanted to quarrel with Troy to prevent the actual quarrel Leathina immediately pulled Edward back inside the house then followed Nina and Troy behind her.

“But where are you going? The sun is almost gone?” Leathina asked as she looked at Nina and Edward's neat manner of dressing complete with their respective weapons.

“We are planning to follow Miss Lea to the market, Mr. Ed is worried because you came home late.” Nina answered explaining.

“Pfft.” Leathina held back a laugh as well as was happy that there were people waiting for her to come home now, “Areally?!” Tanya Leathina made sure even though she already knew the answer.

“You don't laugh at me like that, it's all your fault.” Edward unhappily clasped Leathina's hand in embarrassment from being laughed at by Leathina.

Leathina grew increasingly anxious at her behavior that suddenly became spoiled, spoiled, Leathina glanced around at Troy and Nina no longer there they both went into the kitchen carrying the groceries they had bought in the market while Adam was still busy with his affairs outside and was new to be come back for dinner tonight.

‘Ah, I wonder why his attitude suddenly changed like this, it turns out that only the two of us in the middle room now deserve the wibawannya lost.’ The inner Leathina who lived with Edward after arriving in the kingdom made him indirectly know Edward.

After several times confessing his feelings to Leathina and showing them outspokenly and fruitlessly, the, Edward had firmly told Leathina directly that if Leathina did not accept him then Edward would seduce Leathina if Leathina surrendered herself to him.

“Why is this my fault?” Leathina asked Edward.

Edward sat down properly and looked at Leathina seriously.

“That's because you don't want to accept me, so I'm now seducing you.” Edward said without shame.

“You'll be embarrassed if your kids see you're acting like a baby.”

“Kids?” Edward was confused to grasp the meaning of Leathina's words. “I'm not even married to you, how can any of my children see me.”

“That's not what I meant, but Nina and Troy. You know they keep following you like a hen. You'd be embarrassed if they saw you acting weird like this.”

“Who cares, if you're afraid they see me like this then I just need to gouge out his eyes, ease it?”

Edward's sadistic words no longer make Leathina surprised because she was used to it, Leathina looked at Edward then breathed heavily confused face Edward's changing and strange behavior.

‘Wah! Look at this kid really born with a dark soul. He did not even blink when he said he would pry the eyes of his trusted men, you crazy man!” Inner Leathina was actually a little horrified by Edward.

 “What's up?” Edward asked when he saw Leathina pensive.

“Ah, it's okay.”

“Really?”

“Yes, really. I'm fine.”

“But Leathina, do you really not want to go back to your family? We've been living in this cottage for almost a year. You even asked me to no longer send letters to your family.”

“You said I had to be careful, right?”

“Iya right.”

“If I suddenly return then I will be in danger, a friend I met on my way asked me not to return in a few years anyway I am fine now.”

Edward looked at Leathina seriously making Leathina feel uncomfortable.

“What's Ed?” Ask Leathina.

“Your friends you mentioned are male or female?” Ask seriously. “And I haven't seen you with anyone in all this time.

“Ah it's a boy, I met before you found me.”

“You're familiar with it?”

Hearing how to ask Edward made Leathina uncomfortable.

“You're introgasiing me now? You're suspecting me now, aren't you?” Ask Leathina.

“It's not like that, I'm just worried and envious of your friend. You seem to trust him so much but you followed his advice that forbade you to come back even just to send word to your family you were so careful, are you still in touch with him now?”

“You don't have to worry, although he's annoying but he's very nice to me. And it's a matter of me meeting him or not that you know it. You've been watching me for twenty-four hours.”

“I'm sorry Leathina, I did it because I was worried about you.”

Leathina no longer answered and simply chose to be quiet, although Edward treated her very well and took care of all her needs from toe to toe, it was still the way it made Leathina not a little uncomfortable because it was the same as locking Leathina up in a gold cage.

‘I'm afraid that one day Edward's obsession is out of control, his nature is set like that in his character. I'm grateful he's not as crazy as the novel says but still this worries me.’ Leathina was pensive again, although now she felt safe but her premonition said that the calamity that would befall her had not ended. ‘Hopefully there will be no problems to come in the future.’

“Leathina, is anyone worried?” Edward asked, beginning to worry about seeing Leathina who continued to be pensive.

‘Uh? This kid is too sensitive to the surrounding I am but think he can see the contents of my head.’

“Of course there's no Ed, I told you I'm fine. At least for now.” Leathina smiled trying to relieve Edward who had been worrying about her for no reason.

“You mean there will be problems later?” Edward asked again catching something from Leathina's sentence just now.

“No, of course not. It's just that just now in town I passed by a train from Duke Leonard's residence.”

“Duke Leonard, your father?”

Leathina disrupts him, making Edward seem to be thinking along what is going on in the kingdom.

“No, of course not. Troy took good care of me.” Leathina calmed Edward as much as possible to protect Trioy. ‘Can-can Troy get into trouble later when I don't see him, I'd better praise Troy for not being blamed for taking me to the city.’

“Thank God, then.”

“Suddenly I remembered some old friends I had long since left.” Leathina's words again made Edward look at her seriously.

“You still have some other friends?” Ask Leathina.

Leathina did not answer immediately she paid close attention to Edward's hardened face because she again mentioned having other friends. “Of course, I have many friends.” Leathina said casually.

“Who? Do I know him?”

“Yes you know him, of course they are also your friends.”

“As I recall I have no friends.”

“Don't do that, you've even had a long trip with them don't you remember?”

Edward seemed to think hard but in the end did not find the person Leathina meant.

“Who?” Ask Edwar to come back.

“Umm you completely forgot them, when they were hard to forget, How are Aelfric and Farkas?” Ask Leathina.

Edward did not immediately answer his eyebrows back wrinkled to remember something.

“Ah, you mean the pointy-eared spoiled child of the fairy race and the mutt?” Edward replied in the end remembering who Leathina meant.

“You're so rude to call him that, Don't call Aelfric that and Farkas isn't a dog he's a wolf. How's it going now? I remember when suddenly Farkas expressed his feelings for me hahah”

“Cih.” Edward snorted in annoyance.

“What's up?”

“Why do you have to meet them anyway, they both are fine. Aelfric who was originally staying under my supervision escaped and returned to his hometown while Farkas chose to work as a knight under the supervision of your father.”

“Ah! So so thank goodness they're fine, I'm so curious my two sisters must have grown up too.”

“Leathina do you want ...”

“Miss should you clean yourself before dinner time arrives, I've asked Troy to prepare water for you.” Suddenly Nina came out and cut off Edward's conversation, making the atmosphere become silent for a moment. Nina who felt that she had done something wrong because of the sudden strange atmosphere could only close her mouth as quickly as possible.

“Thank you Nina, I did want to clean the body.”

“Ah, Ed did you have anything to say?” Leathina asked to see that Edward was no longer continuing his sentence while she would usually scold anyone who cut her sentence while speaking.

“No, no. You go clean yourself up and we'll eat together later.” Edward did not seem to want to continue his sentence Leathina who realized it immediately nodded her head in understanding and did not ask again.

“Good.” Said Leathina then immediately walked into her room.

“What's wrong with him, it's not usually that Edward acts awkward like that.” Leathina Mumbles.

On his way to his room Leathina passed Troy who had also just come out of his room carrying a large empty bucket.

“Oh! Miss Lea, the water is ready.”His words excitedly greeted Leathina.

“Thank you Troy, you also rest for a while you must be tired.”

“I'm fine. I told you Miss Lea there's no need to worry about me.”

“Alright then, I will go into my room.”

“Please.”

After Troy left Leathina immediately entered her room at the sight of a wooden bathtub that had been filled with water in it.

“They really prepared it well, I should also have to repay the kindness they later have taken good care of me.”

Leathina began to take off her clothes and get into her bathtub and clean herself, her attention then distracted by the light reflecting lention she was wearing.

“Ah! This lention is Almo's gift, I wonder how he is now, hopefully his annoying nature is reduced. She almost knew all my secrets when I hid them desperately. He was also the one who asked me not to return in a few years before my unlucky destiny was completely missed. Did I just break it he said if I break it he will instantly appear, ah! Don't be able to Almo and Edward will fight I save when urgent later, after being satisfied to see Lentionnya Leathina immediately put it back on for fear of the precious object was lost.”

‘How is this, if it is calculated it seems like I have disappeared long enough I am sure Nora must miss me very much now.’

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

Leathina was startled by the sound of knocking on the door from the outside making her immediately aware of her daydream.

“Who?” Ask from within.

“This is me.”

Leathina heard Edward's typical heavy and cold voice, making her instantly guess who was standing behind the door of her room right now.

“Iya, what's up Ed?”

“Are you still a long time Leathina? The food is ready and Adam is back, when he is done, go out and eat.”

“Yes, I'm done!” Shouted Leathina then after that heard the sound of Edward's footsteps that left the door of his room.

In a hurry Leathina finished her bath drying herself and immediately got dressed following Edward into the living room, she saw that everyone was already sitting in their seats and only her empty seats were left.

“I'm sorry, you guys so have to wait for me.”

“It's okay, let's hurry up here and sit in your chair.”

Edward called Leathina while pulling her chair out so that Leathina could sit down immediately, the food on her plate was also very well available.

‘We stayed together as ordinary people, but I was still served like a princess by them. I feel bad and burdened next time I have to talk about this I can take care of myself.’

“What you think.”

“Aaaa!”

Suddenly Edward spoke right in Leathina's dreamy ear, leaving Leathina shocked and screaming.

“Do not think of unnecessary things you deserve to be treated like this.” Edward said as he pleased, leaving Leathina and sitting in his own chair.

‘Can Edward read people's minds?’

“Wait for what else to eat.” Edward's words sounded commanding, because he did not want to argue with Leathina just according to the same with Troy, too, Nina and Adam who had just been silent did not dare to comment for fear of being affected by the ever-changing mood of Edward.
