The Return of the Mad Witch
Threat of Murder

The noble ladies were provoked with anger when they heard Valencia insulting them blatantly. Girls who were much smaller in age than them were very ignorant of manners, even daring to use informal language before them.

"You are really insolent! How dare you insult us by saying we're a burden on your husband!"

They all directed angry gazes at Valencia. Rachel and Devina are just being the audience of Valencia madness. The shameless and ethical girl was defending her friend who was being insulted.

"But, isn't reality like that? You go here and there with pride in your husband. Not a few of you are rising in status after marriage. Not a few of you are willing to become second, third, and so on. Not a few also want to marry an old man just for the sake of fame. How low are you getting the position you want."

Valencia's words have been so outrageous, they can't help but be angry. One of them suddenly tried to throw one cup of water towards Valencia. However, Valencia managed to avoid the water that almost soaked his body.

"Shut your mouth, Miss! You've been so outrageous to insult us. If it wasn't for you being the son of Grand Duke Allerick, maybe now we've dragged you out of here!"

One by one attention in the restaurant leads to the uproar they create. Valencia smiled a slanted smile, he stood up from where he was sitting while staring at them one by one.

"If you don't want to be insulted, please don't ever insult my friend." Valencia pulled up the tablecloth until it dropped all the food that was up there and about their clothes that had super duper prices.

"Miss Valencia! Don't you know how much this dress cost me?! Why are you so angry with us? You're really crazy!"

"You guys still ask me why I'm angry? I heard with my own ears that you insulted Devina. You guys no longer have brains until you insult the imperial family?! Oh it's possible that your brain was mortgaged when you married your husband" the Valencia circus.

"That's the truth! A woman cannot be a leader! Should both you and the Princess be self-aware of hal—"

"Then, explain to me, why did Klarybell the Great Witch become the leader and ruler of the Mihovil continent? The biggest continent in the world, why be led by a woman? Try now to get your insults out with Klarybell's achievement."

They exchanged glances, they were at a loss for words to answer what Valencia said. An undeniable fact, even Klarybell was named as the most competent female leader and the most ruthless female leader in history.

In this world no one does not know who Klarybell is, no one does not know how crazy he is to expand the continent of Mihovil by seizing several continents around Mihovil. Undeniably, a woman can rival male leadership.

"You can't answer? Jesus, just so you know, on the Mihovil continent the average leader is a woman. They don't rely on marriage to move up to a higher social level, so please rethink your words" Valencia said.

"But, it only occurs on the Mihovil continent and does not occur on the Solvey continent. You can't equalize everything."

Valencia carved a thin smile. "The first Emperor, the fifth Emperor, as well as the eighth Emperor of the Alegra Empire were women. Can anyone argue?"

They forget something very important, they forget that Alegra was founded by a woman. Just before the ban on women being leaders penetrated, the former Emperor of Alegra was not restricted to women or men. Everything is the same, as long as it can and does not harm, then do it.

"So, please take care of your words next time before I make you die in misery. And just so you know, actually my friend named Devina heard every insulting sentence you said. Remember to apologize later before your head is beheaded for insulting a member of the imperial family.".

Then Valencia took out a small bag of gold coins to give them.

"Here's your dress money, replace it with the most expensive and luxurious dress." Then Valencia threw another bag at the waiter. "It's for the restitution for disturbing the quiet atmosphere of this restaurant."

They were surprised to get so much money from Valencia. He really likes to spend money while showing off to people.

Valencia invites Devina and Rachel to get out of there. They plan to move to another restaurant as they lose their appetite for food.

'Thank God I'm friends with them, so I don't need to feel inferior anymore after being insulted by the nobles, ' Inner Devina.

In the midst of their conversation, Valencia turned his head back because he felt signs someone was monitoring them. However, after turning his head, there was not found anyone there other than the passerby.

'I'm sure, I feel the aura of the existence of someone who continues to follow us. Not us, but following Devina. Who was that? Is there anyone who would harm Devina?' think Valencia.

Afterwards, Valencia tries to comb the area around to find if there are any signs of other people following Devina. However, free of charge, Valencia even lost track.

'Where did that guy disappear to? He's very fast. I think he was planning to harm Devina, maybe I should keep an eye on Devina for some time. This time the target of their assassination was Devina.'

Valencia did not let down his guard, he watched over Devina so as not to be harmed by others. Then as the three of them were conversing in the courtyard of the academy garden, from afar came an arrow that shot towards Devina.

"Devina, duck!" Spontaneous Devina ducks according to Valencia's orders.

Valencia catches the arrow, fortunately Valencia managed to prevent the arrow shot to the core of Devina's body.

"Whatis that? Is someone planning to kill Devina?" Rachel is shocked to see Valencia catching an arrow targeting Devina.

Valencia nodded, Devina looked shocked from the sudden and hidden attack.

"Devina, it looks like the enemies who have been hiding all this time are starting to show their noses to kill you. Is it possible that some day something strange is haunting you?"

Devina nodded slowly. "Actually, there's been some weird stuff going on lately. I hesitated to tell you, but now is the right time for me to tell you."

"Can you tell me everything? Please don't miss a single one, I have to conduct an investigation as soon as possible."
