The Soul Substitute Trash of the Duke Family
Chapter 62

"Leona! Don't leave dad!" Calvian hugged Leona's body, which was now cooling. A deep sense of regret for not having the time to apologize to Leona properly broke her heart. For the first time Calvian cried hysterically.

"Wakeup, Leona. I'm sorry." Emillio said desperately. An overwhelming sense of guilt lingered in his heart.

"Boat, come back..." Ogre Emperor Ein with teary eyes.

The nobles and Casian who heard the Emperor's words were shocked. So Leona's cousin to the Emperor? I don't know why Casian was trembling now.

"Leona-sama, what should we tell Jim-sama? What will be the fate of us and the villagers if you leave?" Lirih Kaze's. She looked at Leona with tears welling up in her eyes.

Emperor Ein looked at the crown prince Casian angrily. Eve gripped felt around the hall, even making the walls crack and broken glass scattered.

"I didn't expect this government to be really trash. Why did you kill an innocent person without investigating first? Do you know him or does he know you?" Emperor Ein asked coldly.

Casian trembled with the air issued by Emperor Ein. His tongue can't speak as if his mouth is sealed. True, he had never met Leona, even he had only heard rumors and stories from Iris alone.

"You've only heard baseless rumors. The Leona we knew was just busy practicing and carrying out missions. He's never been as interested in romance as you're accusing, crown prince Casian." Said Carl coldly.

"Aren't you a user of light magic? Why are you silent like a statue?" Cynical Wei Tao when he saw Iris who was still silent on the spot.

"A-ah, fine." Nervous speech.

"No need. Leona-sama is gone. We'd better take it back to Bloom Mist village so Jim-sama can see the last body of his nephew." Kei's Proposal.

"really. Hasn't Leona been kicked out of her own house because of child sedition?" Sindir countess Thereva while looking at Iris with dislike. He stared at Leona's now stiff body.

Iris lowered her head while holding back a cry. Countess Thereva just grieved at the sight of it.

"However he remains my flesh and blood. Let us make amends for what we've done." Calvian said with tears in her eyes.

"Yes, we beg you... Let us immerse my brother's last body..." Emillio.

Unexpectedly Kei snatched Leona's body which had cooled off Calvian's lap and immediately left from there with Kaze. Followed by Carl, Iven, Wei Tao and Emperor Ein.

"I'm sorry for the mess we've done. Excuse me."

Leona's death made the kingdom stir. Many rejoiced at the death of the royal trash, some were even shocked by the death of the girl.

Several soldiers and servants at the Castallio residence mourned the news of Leona's death. Even they themselves do not believe in Leona's tragic death.

Calvian and Emillio just stared blankly at the food on the dining table. They are still saddened by Leona's death which they think is unjust.

They haven't had time to improve their relationship with Leona, but mistakes in the past have brought them to their senses. But it was too late to correct the mistake even though Leona had already forgiven them.

Iris entered the dining room cheerfully and found her father and sister in mourning. I don't know why Iris doesn't accept the fact that they still love Leona.

'Oh Leona is dead. So I'm the only daughter of Duke Castallio.' He was in his heart with a sweet smile that never faded.

"Good morning, Father, Brother." Sapa Iris cheerfully. But unfortunately Calvian and Emillio chose to ignore the greeting Iris.

"I regret believing in the words of a self-unknowing mortal. Instead of training, he was busy being a burden. The lowly folk." Cynical Emillio while looking at Iris coldly.

'Deg's'

"I have no interest in becoming a government official either. Castallio was a neutral party who never interfered with the kingdom. I was wrong to hope. Instead I wish on someone who can't return the favor."

"Dad, I-I.. ."

The two men immediately left Iris alone without touching their food. Leaving Iris who was now staring at their departure with a look of disbelief.

Leona's death yesterday was still vividly remembered in her mind and she felt completely happy. Even last night he laughed triumphantly.

Being the crown prince's fiancee, being the duke's only daughter was Iris' dream since entering this residence. But without realizing it, a disaster will approach the girl.

A calamity that made him fall into a deep abyss.

💠💠💠💠

"Hoaaammm~"

Leona yawned widely. After successfully escaping from the party with his shadowy style, he decided to immediately go to an inn located in the duchy of Spedarrow.

If he returns to Calisius' residence, Jim will interrogate him, and his plans can fall apart. He wanted to prank Iris all out like the horror movie he watched before moving souls.

"Imagining them crying bombay must be fun. I'd better get some sleep, huh." Monologue while laying on the bed.

Leona looked at the ceiling of the inn room in her place with a glaring look. There are a lot of things that need to be prepared.

"It looks like it would be interesting to scare Iris. Maybe he's happy to see me get killed tonight. Am I cosplay to be a kunti, sadako, or just a subtle creature, huh? Must be so much fun. Khalekhov..." He said while laughing at the devil.

"Maybe the duke master and young master Castallio would be happy to see this body die right before his eyes, or perhaps cry? Bodolahs. After all he never cared about the owner of this body despite the pain." Leona said with a circle of tears that began to drip when she saw the memory of the original owner of this body.

The memory was about how the rejection and humiliation of the father and elder brother were the original owners of this body. They often compare Leona to Iris. She even scolded and yelled at Leona even though she didn't throw a tantrum for a while.

Gruffly Leona wiped away her tears that had dripped. The unfair treatment made Leona's heart feel claustrophobic.

Leona immediately fixed her blanket. He covered himself to the neck and looked at the ceiling of his room.

"Leona, wherever you are, appeared in my dream just once. I want to know how you react to all this insolent behavior." Leona said expectantly. For two years she had never seen the real Leona in her dreams, so Leona always did as she pleased for the soul of the owner of this body to appear just once.

Slowly Leona's eyes felt heavy, slowly the girl's eyes closed hiding her beautiful red eyes and being lulled into the dreamland.

💠💠💠💠

"Finally you'll see me, Leona." The sound of a woman welcoming her hearing.

Leona opened her eyes and saw a beautiful girl standing before her. Legit black hair curls with ruby red eyes. Pointed eye iris with eyeliner decoration on the upper lashes.

Leona looked at the surrounding that looked all white. Could it be that girl is Leona, the body in her place these two years?

"After a long time keeping my body, I can finally meet you, Leona!” Pekiknya.

Throw's right. She's the real Leona.

Leona tilted her head, feeling confused by what she was going through.

"Am I dead?" Ask Leona curiously.

"No. You're still alive. You're in your subconscious." Then the look on the girl's face turned softly making Leona frown.

"Thank you for making me strong. I'm glad you made me feel good. You have shown me a beautiful world. Too bad I can't enjoy it. I'm no longer tied to the world."

"You know how else. You died first by suicide from the stairs." Ejek Leona while chuckling.

"I didn't kill myself! It was all because Iris pushed me! I hate him for spreading lies that I never even did..." He said it quietly at the end of his words.

"I don't understand why Iris hates you. Based on your memories, isn't he the one who always looks for trouble with you?" Leona asked not understanding.

"...I don't know." He replied after being silent for a long time. Then he looked at Leona seriously.

"Leona, whatever happens, be careful of King Grambiel. He had an artifact that he always wore around his neck. The artifact resembled a necklace of three colors and always gave off a ray. Destroy the artifact any way." Say the girl.

"I understand. Then what about your father and brother?"

"Never expect anything including love in people who don't care about us. Love yourself and be yourself. Our lives are too precious for heartache." Said the two of them simultaneously then they both smiled broadly without any burden.

"You're hurt because of Iris. How am I supposed to get your wound back because of it?"

"Do whatever you want. The woman had to suffer for the rest of her life. Oh, ja. My time is up and take care of yourself." Said the girl and slowly her body faded away before finally disappearing.
