The Whisper Of The Sea

Vol 79

The air was very cold, that night in Leaf village anj1ng howls were heard telling each other. That night Edmund could not sleep. Leona was asleep in her arms. Leona's breathing softened, Edmund sharpened his hearing. He heard footsteps around his yard. He suddenly sat down. Leona awoke when she saw Edmund raising his index finger on her lips.

"Edmund what's wrong?"

"Sst, lower your voice." Leona rounded her eyes, she put on her clothes and tied her hair. While Edmund also put on his clothes and picked up his gun which he had stored beside the closet.

She held a firearm, while Leona held a baton in both hands. The footsteps became clearer.

"Don't get out of the room, stay behind me, Leona." Edmund.

"Good."

Edmund came out into the living room, but a noise began to be heard in the dark night. Battle sounds. Spanking and the sound of swords rang out in Leona's courtyard.

The door opened, and Jastin entered with a sword and looked at Edmund. "You guys okay? where's Leona?" He said with a loud breath.

Suddenly two assailants came with long swords. He attacked Jastin and Edmund. They can, of course, be defeated easily with Edmund's fighting abilities. About two people went inside, he got punches and incisions from Edmund and Jastin.

About 12 men were sent by captain Lewstin, they can beat them all with his ability. The hitmen numbered 7, they were tied up in the middle of the room.

Edmund looked at them all. "Jastin, Arnold tell me what happened." Edmund.

"They're hit men, they're all paid by someone to finish off Miss Leona." Ronald.

A growl rang out from Edmund's mouth, kicking one of the men tied to the floor.

"Who told you, tell me who!" Edmund. The man just looked at her while throwing his face away, they were completely unwilling to talk. Ronald finally spoke.

"They were paid by a mistress at your residence Edmund. The waiter told us everything, but it wasn't us who had to tell you, it was the woman." Ronald pointed to a servant who was brought in by a man. His body trembled incessantly, especially when he came face to face with Edmund.

He sat down and looked down below.

"Gentlemen please forgive me, I just did what the Madam told me to do, I just delivered the letter that was sent, I'm innocent, I'm sorry." He's shaking violently.

"Say who told you to."

The woman looked down inside. He then lowered his head. "Mrs ... Sir Alexander, he ordered me to bring a letter to these assassins, and will pay the rest if their work is done, I just told you, I do not mean to hurt Lady Leona, I do not mean to hurt her, mister."

"Shut up ! You have to endure everything you do, you work together to eliminate Leona, you just wait for what punishment will be given to you." Jason snapped.

As the goods fell, Edmund turned around and saw Leon standing there, the wood he was holding in his hand. He looked shocked to hear it.

"Leona, don't come in here." Edmund said, but Leona did not move from her place. Do women hate Leona that much?

Edmund approached her and hugged her. "Don't think of that woman, from the beginning it wasn't just you, my mother, me, or you, Leona, but this time I was going to get rid of that woman." Edmund looked very angry.

The killers were taken the next morning by train to the prisoners, while some have returned to Cambridge as well as jastin and Ronald who will escort these prisoners into the capital.

"We have to go to Cambridge, baby. I will not forgive that woman, I should have done it a long time ago, destroyed the woman who destroyed my family until my mother died. But this time I won't stay silent."

Leona nodded to Edmund, hugging Edmund until his feet did not reach the floor. Edmund hugged her tightly and looked at her. "We're leaving now."

Leona immediately put on her traveling clothes, as well as Edmund, the horse carriage had been waiting for them. Before they both got into the car. The woman who became Leona's neighbor rebuked them.

"Leona I heard last night there was a commotion, are you okay?" He asked, his eyes suddenly on Edmund.

"I'm fine, my husband and I are going to the capital, see you we'll meet again, say my regards to Edmund. Suddenly Edmund turned around.

"Edmund?"

"He's the son of Lady Howl, his name is Edmund Howl, a handsome 5-year-old man." Leona said with a smile.

"Is he your husband Leona. Well, he's so handsome." Her speech. Kristy's husband was behind her while folding both her hands.

"We're going Kristy, see you." Leona waved her hand until her small house seemed to shrink and move away. That day they both left Cambridge.

***

They spent a lot of time in the city of Cambridge. After a day in the horse-drawn carriage. Finally they arrived too, before Edmund returned to his family's castle, he met the chief soldier and talked about the matter, he was already tired of his stepmother. He was the one who got rid of his birth mother. His mother became sick and eventually died.

"Leona we'll go back to the mansion first, there it's safer." Edmund.

"Hm, well it's better that way."

Edmund escorts Leona back to the mansion, the servants run to greet her arrival, but not all act the same as other servants. There was still a group of servants who looked at Leona one eye, as it was more supportive of Miss Sofia to be her master's wife.

They came in, Edmund whispered something to him. "Don't hold back, baby, do what you want to do. If you want to punish the brazen servants and not listen to you, fire him, the matter of the mansion is up to you. You can do anything, baby. I go first, I'll be back in the afternoon.

Edmund left the mansion because of the many things he would do, while Leona entered the mansion, and stared at the place as before.

The servants came to Leona, and brought back her belongings. "Welcome Madam, we've been waiting for the Madam's arrival for a long time. We were very sad when Madam left the mansion.

"really?" Leona looked at the five maids standing clasping at Leona and the other servants.

"You guys, come here." Leona said to the five of them.

They walk around and look at each other and nudge. They stand with pride.

"What's the matter, madam." He said as he looked at Leona with his sharp eyes.

"How long have you served Mr. Edmund in this mansion?" Ask Leona.

"It's been a while, madam. Wh why? Are we wrong?" said challenging.

"You do not respect me as the Madam of my house, how could I hire such useless servants as you, today leave the mansion and leave."

They're not moving. "Mrs Alexander hired us, so he has the right to fire us." Answer with a haughty tone. Say one of the servants who looks brave

"Call the bodyguard." Leona said calmly. They look surprised.

The bodyguards gathered behind Leona. "Bring all those who won't listen to my words, drive him out of my mansion, and you gather their beavers and throw them all in front of the gate. This is what I should have done."

"Good Mistress."

The five of them were surprised. "Mrs what are you doing, you can't do this, Mrs Alexander won't let this happen." Her speech.

Leona smiled faintly. "Then report to your Lady immediately now, banish them."

"Good Mistress."

The bodyguards dragged the five maids from the mansion, they were all butlers, chefs, as well as three servants who had long worked at the Edmund residence on the recommendation of Madame Alexander, as they felt senior. They ordered the younger servant to do his work.

The sound of shouting rang out loud at the residence of Edmund, the dissident servants loyal to Mrs Alexander were dragged out of the mansion. They all scream hysterically. After they were taken out, they ran towards the castle and would report to her Nyonya.

***

Edmund returns and goes straight into the castle, lucky they are both inside. When Edmund came, Mrs Alexander greeted Edmund.

"When you get back, Edmund. I didn't hear from you coming home" he looked nervous as he looked around for someone behind Edmund.

"Edmund what is this, why are so many warriors outside the castle, and lord Thomas is also outside the castle." Said Mr. Alexander.

"Just ask why mom, why are the soldiers here. Mom has sent a hitman to finish Leona off, lucky Leona's father found out and stopped their attack." Edmund said, gritting his teeth.

"What are you talking about Edmund. Where might I send someone to kill your wife, don't bother. I don't do such a despicable job." The denial.

"Bring him in."

Two bodyguards carry a servant who is told to deliver a letter to the assassins, he looks resigned, but when he meets Mrs Alexander. He looked frightened and trembling.

"What do you mean Edmund, I don't know that woman." His shouting. He tried to calm down but in any case he could not hide his nervousness.

"Bring them, and the proof."

"Germund ! What the hell are you really doing? why are you bringing so many people into our residence." Her speech.

"Bring the letter." His order. The letter was read by Sir Thomas who worked as the head of the palace guard, he was in charge of capturing people who worked with the assassins.

Edmund read the letter in front of them all.

Disappearing a woman named Leona, she was in Leaf village. Don't hurt her husband just kill his wife, you'll get half the pay if your job is done. N.A

Edmund's father took the letter and read it. He turned to look at his wife. "Are you crazy? What's on your mind, why do you want to do the dirty thing."

"Not me, is it. I didn't send it, why did you slander your mother Edmund. Why?" His shouting.

"Whether you defend yourself, keep your words in court, I will not let anyone interfere with my family's life, let alone try to hurt my wife. I'm not gonna let him. Whoever he is." Edmund.

By then the official arrest warrant had come out and Mrs Alexander, and the maid had been carried by the soldiers. He rebelled with all his might, but the arrest warrant was out, and he had to be arrested immediately. When Madam Alexander was screaming, the five maids who came to the residence were shocked.

They all trembled at the sight of her Nyonya who had always been protecting them had been captured. They're all shaking.

"Now what are we going to do?" said the waiter.
