The Soul Substitute Trash of the Duke Family
Chapter 82

Emperor Ein smiled slantingly as he read the report that Leona submitted about the Krikia stone. But to obtain magic as well as the owner of the lightning element was impossible to find in his empire.

The lightning element is very rare. There was only once in fifty years, and the last owner had already died forty years ago.

The only hope is impossible. Those who were in the middle of a tight massage their throbbing temples hurt.

Ask for another empire or kingdom? Impossible feels. Moreover, some regions in other continents had just lost the owner of that rare magic.

Leona's? All they knew, the girl only had monster stamina, lava elements, soil, and was skilled in turning her body into flower petals as well as the owner of chakra chains. They could not expect the jejadian girl to have any lightning element other than her roar.

And the person who could not be expected was casually electrocuting the river to catch some big fish while humming along with his three silhouettes on the edge of the forest.

"Why don't you say that you have the lightning element, Leona-sama?" Kaze asked as he stabbed the fish that had been cleaned.

"I'm lazy. Later if I say 'I am the owner of the lightning element' then everything will be chaotic. There could be a traitor there." Leona cuek.

"yes too. Then what are your plans, Leona-sama?"

"Eitherway. I just want to laze for a moment."

"Leona-sama, you have to think about a lot of things. It's for the sake of your clan that the King has annihilated." Tukas Ken could not accept it. The demon man had lost everything because of the king of Grambiel.

Leona looked at them in silence. What they say has a point, too. But he had to devise a very mature plan and had many backup plans in case of failure.

"I know. But don't you want to look for your successor?" Leona asked as she stared at the three silhouettes who were now busy burning fish.

"We've split up. It is likely that some of the survivors have established a small kingdom in the central part of the region." Kei.

"The lion nation is our emperor. Despite leading a small group, it seems like the tiger nation is fit to be our leader." Kaze said as she glanced at Ken who was looking at her with a stupor.

"Because tigers are more famous than black panthers. Both in fairy tales and in other respects." Ken said prides himself on making Kei snort lazily.

"Yes, yeah. That's why the tiger nation is so annoying."

"You're jealous, huh? Noisier storm?"

"No, tuh."

"You two can be quiet, can't you? Crazy predator." Upset Kaze breaks up the two stealth men's bickering.

The two handsome men stared at Kaze with a terrible grin. It was seen that the two had taken out their ears and tail which made Kaze tremble in fear.

"Hey, Kei, there seems to be a herbivore for our dessert." The evil grin was imprinted on the lips of the handsome man.

"Yes, Ken. Or do we make it the main course?" Kei chuckled like a demon who found his toy.

Kaze who feels herself threatened soon turns into a squirrel and hides behind Leona's pocket.

"Don't leave the fish behind, it'll be charred." Tegur Leona who was alone was watching their squabble.

Emillio stared at the pile of documents before him in nanar. Gosh, he wanted to rest at all and the pile of documents seemed to call him to ask at the plural.

"Sir, you need to finish this document as soon as possible." Press Harres and stare intently at the dark brown-haired young man before him.

The man snorted in annoyance. His father who was busy with palace affairs made himself suffer with an endless pile of documents.

"All right." The man resignedly and began to work on the files accompanied by a sweet smile from Harres, the father's assistant.

"If only he wasn't father's assistant, I'd have killed him a long time ago." Gerrymandering annoyed.

The night was late and very quiet. There was no sound of night animals or wind. The wall clock located in the living room that was located far enough away was heard in the duke's work room, even his own breathing and heartbeat sounded very clear.

Emillio snorted and cleared a moment. Somehow the aura tonight is so strange and unusual. The man glanced at the window and looked at the moon shining brightly.

The sound of wild animals was heard in a park. The man immediately put on a wary stance and took out a sword. Soon the man looked to the origin of the voice.

'Hmd...'

Again the voice was clearly heard coming from Leona's pavilion first. It was before the girl left the house and left forever.

Emillio surrounded the pavilion and her steps stopped when she saw two beasts, a black panther and a huge tiger with a beautiful girl with curly black hair. Those pointy red eyes stared warmly at the two ferocious beasts. The girl was wearing a simple white dress.

"Leona?" Emillio muttered in disbelief.

The man rubbed his eyes to confirm his vision, but when he looked back at the figure Leona thought, his face paled.

The girl was wearing academy clothes covered in blood. Also the pretty face of the girl was covered in blood and rotting.

The figure smiled horribly with black colored teeth and disappeared with the two beasts from Emillio's sight.

"Sister, for the rest of my life with you, I've always been lonely."

Emillio collapsed staring at where Leona was sitting earlier. His gaze was so sad and full of regret.

If only he would care a little for his sister, maybe he didn't suffer like this.

Leona's departure leaves her with the haunting of guilt for the rest of her life.

"I'm sorry, Leona. Sorry..."

💠💠💠💠💠

"Aren't you going back to your family, Leo?" Ask Jim carefully to the nephew who is busy with his cooking show.

"Lazy. I don't have any memories of them." Sahut Leona. "And didn't they make a rumor that I eloped with you?"

"Ck. At least try to make peace with them." Persuade Jim.

"Aah! You're saying this because you want to match me up, huh?" Guess it's on target.

Jim took a breath. Leona is twenty years old and has never dated. This made Jim worried.

"You should be self-conscious, Uncle. You're old enough to be married. Why should I bother getting married anyway? I don't want my freedom to be lost." Upset Leona while slamming the spatula hard.

"I don't want to get married!" Jerit Leona frustrated.

Jim could not say anything. He looked at Leona sadly. Surely the bad treatment in the past made his nephew reluctant to establish a relationship.

"alright. I'm sorry."

Leona chose silence and busied herself by printing the cake and put it in the oven. While the kitchen servants chose to clean up the mess made by Leona.

"But some old noble wants to make you his concubine. I don't know what to do. I've burned her letters many times and even sent a reply that you had a fiancee." Jim finally pulled out the grunts that had been a burden for him.

"Yes my. So that's why Uncle whines asking me to get married? Why don't you tell me I'm Uncle's wife? Didn't the lopsided rumor that I eloped with you spread widely?"

Jim breathed a tired breath. Although what Leona said was true, but there were still many who doubted them.

"I told them and explained to them. But they'll come and finish off our village if we refuse." Jim is desperate.

"Why don't you cosplay with such a ugly face, Leona-sama." Suddenly Xavier.

Leona's eyes sparkled with pleasure. He walked up to the man and clutched the collar of his clothes.

"Your father was really brilliant, Xavi." His words were stirring while shaking the handsome man's body. Afterwards the girl released her grip and then left just like that while humming ria.

💠💠💠💠

'Brakh'

The sound of the door breaking shocked the few people who were in the room. Suddenly they turned and found a girl wearing a black mask with a chain decoration entering the room with eye smile, which somehow felt so annoying.

"Uncle called?" Ask without feeling guilty.

"Can you come in normally, Leo? I've been lazy to replace that broken door." Exasperated Jim and apologized to some of the guests who came.

Leona looked at the guests who were looking at her curiously while smiling intently behind her mask. A crazy idea just popped up making Jim and some of his ministries stare at the girl suspiciously.

"I'm sorry for my impolite nephew, sir." Jim's regret was awkward even though he wanted to kick them when he saw the look of the eyes that led towards Leona.

They were the ones who wanted to propose to Leona with a certain intent. Jim had already rejected it, but they threatened and made the man in distress.

"It's okay, Mr. Jim." Sahut one of the guests politely without distracting her from Leona.

Leona immediately approached Jim and shamelessly sat on his lap, making the guests stare at them in annoyance.

"Like her you and your niece are very close, huh?" Ask one of the guests politely. He tried to maintain his image in order to be able to edit the girl in order to gain the benefits of the Bloom Mist village.

"That's how."

"As our proposal suggests, you should hand over your beloved niece to one of us." Continues the fat man with a distended stomach and gazes at the cool hungry Leona sitting on Jim's lap. Leona looked at them one by one with a judging look. The looks of greed in their eyes as well as the obvious competition made Leona fed up.

Leona picked up a snack presented in front of her and opened her mask. The guests stared at Leona in horror.

Face with scars on both cheeks that are still flushed and show the nose cavity very clearly.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Am I not beautiful?"
