The Return of the Mad Witch
Gossip About Devina

News of Joseth's death spread very quickly. Just last night Valencia killed him, in the morning it was heard people telling word of mouth siding of Joseth's death. Many people wonder the cause of Joseth's death. Because the condition of the body is very sad, his head separated from his body.

From this it can be explained that Joseth was actually killed by someone. However, no one knows who the killer is because he left no trace. Valencia looked quite satisfied, he got what he should have got. Now he also held the main key that would destroy Linnea's reputation.

"Valencia, there's someone coming looking for you" a classmate told Valencia.

"Who is that?" ask Valencia.

"That's the court, they're carrying a formal summons."

Valencia rushed out of class, hoping the call this time was the last call. Valencia was fed up with dealing with the rotten men of the court.

In front of the class, a man accompanied by several knights behind him carried a scroll of official letters of the court. Valencia confronted the man to find out why he had been called.

"What did you call me? Is there something I should do in court?"

The man looked at Valencia unfriendly, it seemed that everyone in the court was putting hate on Valencia. However, he did not care, he only needed to know the intent of the man's arrival to the academy to meet him at this moment.

"Miss Valencia Allerick, based on this letter, the judge of the court invites you in the court to try the case of the former Head of the Academy which will take place four days from now. So, I hope you come to the courthouse to solve the problem you have done" he explained.

"That's it, right? All right, I'll go later. Now you can get out of here" Valencia said, expelling the man and his knights.

"Okay, I'll excuse you first." He was seen grumbling angrily at being sent off by Valencia, but he did not take the heart of the expulsion Valencia made to him.

Valencia let out a long sigh, suddenly from behind Devina and Rachel came to him.

"Valencia, what did the court tell you? They sent the messenger, didn't they?" ask Devina curiously.

"They invited me to court in four days. It doesn't matter, the most important thing now is let's go eat to the nearest restaurant. I was quite bored with the food menu in the cafeteria," Valencia excited.

"Alright, let's go to the restaurant."

The three of them finally decided to go to the restaurant nearest the academy to change the new atmosphere. There are quite a lot of visitors coming. Starting from the lower class nobles to the upper class because the price of food there is quite cheap and it also tastes good.

"Do you know why the Emperor still hasn't chosen the next successor? He said he hoped the Princess would inherit the throne. Though there was still Prince Rudolf, but he chose a woman to be the leader. Where to take this country when the woman is the leader?"

"I don't understand where Prince Rudolf's lack is. He is famous for being smart, handsome, and strong as well. Compared to Princess Devina, Prince Rudolf was still far ahead of her."

"It seems that the Princess is dreaming of becoming Emperor. He should have been self-aware that women would not be able to rise as leaders."

They did not stop talking about their insults against Devina. Valencia could no longer bear to hear, he tried to glance towards Devina. His friend was immediately bowed in lethargy due to the insults from the noblewoman he heard.

They are strangers gossiping and gossiping in front of their people directly. Really, they really make Valencia ride apoplexy.

"They need me to teach you a lesson."

As Valencia was about to stand up from his seat, Devina held him back while shaking her head.

"Please don't make a fuss and trouble yourself into my troubles. They were right, I was shamelessly expecting the position of heir to the throne. I'm just a woman, it's impossible for me to be a leader" Devina said.

"That's not true, you can't give up on your dreams. Haven't you been trying so hard all this time? There are no limits to being a leader!" resolutely Rachel tried to awaken Devina's determination again.

Valencia touches the back of Devina's hand, the girl just needs encouragement from the people who support her. During this time he often heard nobles gossiping about him who openly opposed the idea of women not being able to become a leader.

"Devina, listen to me, being a leader has nothing to do with men or women. As long as you have the determination and strength to love the people, then you can be a leader. Regardless of who you are, regardless of men and women, you can become the leader of an empire. Trust me, okay?"

Valencia again encouraged him, he slowly rose to forget the words of others. Devina is lucky to have a friend who supports her dreams. He thought Valencia and Rachel would laugh at his dream. On the contrary, they are fully supportive.

"Yes, I get it." Devina nodded, she had rediscovered the spirit that disappeared from her.

"Then you two wait here. I'll teach them a lesson not to gossip so frivolously."

Valencia turned from his seat, he quickly headed to the table where the noble ladies gathered.

"You have no other job than gossiping about other people?" valencia chirps hit their table.

They were immediately surprised by the arrival of Valencia. The girl who suddenly entered into their conversation about Devina.

"You're Miss Valencia Allerick, aren't you? You can't just meddle into our conversation" one of them said.

"I interfered because you insulted my friend. So, you can't prevent me from interfering," said the sour-faced Valencian.

"Miss, please get out of here right now and don't make trouble. You're making too much trouble in other people's lives."

They tried to drive Valencia away, but the girl refused to leave. Valencia sat in an empty seat near them. He just dropped a snack that was placed on their dining table.

"You know? I hate seeing women like you. Husband's burden and only good at commenting. Unlike women who work as leaders, they have their own wealth and do not depend on their husbands. Don't you think that's cool? Ah, I forgot, your ambition will only be a burden on your husband and nothing more."
