The Return of the Mad Witch
Body Mismatch

"Why are my days so busy like this? No time to enjoy my food."

Valencia complained because he became the busiest man after receiving many orders from various people in the Solvey continent. There was no stopping his hands working checking the potion which numbered more than five thousand bottles.

"It's a good thing I didn't participate in the potion-making process. There's Sammy overseeing the making."

Valencia stretched his body for a moment and ate the snacks that had been prepared for him.

"Miss!" Pierre suddenly entered his room with a letter in his hand.

"What's up now?" ask Valencia.

"Miss, you received a letter from the Kingdom of Sergia" Pierre said.

"Sergia Empire?"

Valencia patted his forehead, he had not yet returned the marriage application letter that was sent to him at that time. He forgot about it because there was a lot of unexpected rush.

Valencia read the contents of the letter, this time the Emperor of Sergia invited him to dinner as a sign of gratitude for his solving the problem of the disappearance of the girls. Previously, the Emperor of Sergia did not have time to thank and give gifts to Valencia. Therefore, the Emperor of Sergia invited him to talk to get to know him more closely.

"Well for dinner? I don't think it's a problem. It's next week anyway, so I'm still relaxing until the end of the week."

Valencia replied to the letter before he forgot it again. He then told Pierre to send the letter.

"Because my work is done, it's time to go fulfill my promise to Devina and Rachel. He said there's a hot spring in the capital, I'll take them there."

Valencia rushed to get ready to go to meet Devina and Rachel. This was their first meeting after a busy period.

"I'm getting married" Rachel said suddenly.

Valencia and Devina were stunned to hear Rachel's statement.

"You're getting married? Ehh? With who? How come?"

"Are you going to marry the dog*n who was cheating behind your back?! Tell me! I'll beat him up if he forces you to marry him."

The two girls scout Rachel with various questions. Rachel looked puzzled as to how to explain to them.

"No, my partner is not Isael. I will marry the nobles of the Sergian Empire. Isael will marry Airin later this year because Airin is two months pregnant" Rachel said.

"Geez, you surprised me. That woman is really pregnant? You should have just plunged his head into the lake to death," grumbled Valencia looking furious.

"But I'm grateful you didn't marry that brash man. Then how's the story going you get to know the nobles of the Sergian Empire?" timpal Devina asked.

"Ah, we know because my father is his family business partner. At least he's a good guy and I've known him for a long time."

Rachel's face looks sad, something weighs on her thoughts and feelings. Maybe it comes from an unfinished past feeling.

"What's weighing you down? You don't have to endure it all alone" asked Valencia.

"Actually I am still heartbroken at Isael's betrayal. How could he do that to me? I really love him. Ever since her betrayal, I've been afraid to fall in love. Sometimes I think about giving up and dying instead of seeing her married to Airin."

Valencia understands Rachel's feelings, Valencia unwittingly sees Berliana's shadow in Rachel. Still imprinted in his memory as Berliana sobbed in his arms complaining the injustice of the world against his love.

"Rachel, you must know Berliana's story, right?"

Rachel nodded softly, Devina just silently heard what Valencia was going to talk about.

"Well, she is an honorable Princess, loved by her family and people. However, that love turned to hate after Berliana fell in love with one of her servants. In the midst of their love, Klarybell's figure is a buffer milestone so she doesn't fall."

"However, no matter how much of a struggle Berliana got the blessing of her family, it did not work at all. Berliana finally chose to flee the kingdom with her lover. Then you know what? The royal party cursed Berliana, they chased after the girl and intended to kill her lover."

"You know, no matter how far he runs, he's still under arrest. The lover died at the hands of his father, Berliana watched his lover die before his eyes. And in the end, Berliana committed suicide due to severe depression after losing her lover."

The whole shadow of the memory of Berliana swirled in the brain of Valencia. Berliana was his first friend, but he saw clearly Berliana's body died of an overdose of drugs.

"So, Rachel, what I want to tell you is that you should leave your past immediately. If I were you, I'd rather see my lover cheating than see my lover die at my family's hands."

"If he cheats on me, I can curse him as much and hate him for life. The pain of being cheated on is just the beginning, you just need time to get used to it without it. Loving but being left for dead hurts amazingly. As long as you are given the opportunity to live a long life, my advice is to open your heart to accept another man who loves you more sincerely."

"I don't want you to be more tragic than Berliana. Loving each other when the world does not give blessing is very painful. Now you're aware, aren't you? That the gods love you more than Berliana. He showed you the bad side of Isael before you married him."

Rachel and Devina were amazed to hear Valencia talking at length about love. Valencia always refused when talking about love.

"You're acting like someone who knows Berliana. However, I agree, I do, maybe the reason Klarybell spread the story of Berliana around the world is so that women can make it as a substitute for comparison of their love story and so that women can be more grateful and more appreciative of her life," added Devina.

Rachel suddenly became excited, she no longer felt the stress of a broken heart. What Valencia said was entirely true, he should not waste his life for the sake of meaningless love. Compared to Berliana, he was still more fortunate.

"But Valencia, I was curious. Don't you have someone you like?" rachel asked, Devina was also curious about it.

"No" Valencia replied without thinking.

"Then what about the seven handsome men you've always been with?"

"They're just I consider friends. I plan on not getting married and enjoying life in solitude."

Rachel and Devina stare strangely, they both think that Valencia chose to live alone instead of getting married.

'I'm so sorry, the seven men really like Valencia. However, this girl was not even aware of that, Rachel's inner self.

In the evening when Valencia returned from the hot spring, something strange happened to Valencia. The residence of the Archduke Calestine was electrified by Valencia who was suddenly unconscious.

The girl's body was severely cold. His face no longer radiated warmth. The sudden pain pierced the heart of Valencia, as if thousands of needles were working together to destroy his heart.

Along with such conditions, from the core of Valencia's body a glimpse of a dim light that blinked several times. Henzo that night was so panicked, he had no idea what was happening to his daughter.

"Did Sammy still not come?! Hurry up and get him now!" henzo shouted in an unfriendly condition.

"Patience, Your Majesty, if you also dissolve in this kind of chaotic feeling then you will also be sick like Miss, too" Arian scolded trying to restore Henzo's sanity.

"How can I be patient when my daughter is like this?"

Henzo ruffled the frustration of his hair, he was very depressed to watch Valencia's body condition decline. Ten minutes later, Sammy finally arrived. He rushed to check on Valencia.

"What's this?"

Sammy looked very surprised when he sensed something strange from the heart of Valencia.

"What's wrong? What's making you so surprised?" henzo asked, realizing that maybe something bad happened to Valencia.

"The heart of Valencia is covered with fire and ice. I don't know why, but the fire and the ice are churning each other. Then the flow of magic in his body slowed down, I could barely feel the magic" Sammy said.

"Do something! Whatever it is, please save Valencia."

Sammy shook his head slowly, to be honest he himself did not know what was happening to Valencia.

"I'm sorry, Your Honor. It seems like Valencia's condition is beyond my ability. However, I will try my best to save him."

"If you can't, I won't be able to save him either" Henzo said.

Sammy continued his healing, using various means to normalize Valencia's body temperature. However, his efforts were quite difficult. Even so, he managed to maintain Valencia's body temperature so as not to decrease.

The news of Valencia's current state directly reached the ears of the six other men. They hurriedly headed towards the residence of the Archduke Calestine to ascertain Valencia's condition.

"Can't be left like this. Don't you feel Valencia's body temperature dropping?" Ivanov panicked, he could really feel the temperature drop.

"Damn! I failed to maintain his body temperature. I don't know why, but there's something wrong with Valencia" Sammy said.

"But, Sammy, his left side feels really hot. Try your hands" said Leano.

Sammy fumbled Valencia's hand and it was right. It feels so hot like a burning fire.

"Huh? What'sthat?" Rexid rubbed his eyes, as he looked at Klarybell's soul in Valencia's body. However, that soul shadow disappeared after he blinked his eyes.

"What's this about? Why are there so many people here?"

Sean suddenly appeared from the balcony of the room, he was confused when he found a crowd in Valencia's room.

"Sean! Come quick! There's something strange about Valencia's body!"

Sean quickly approached the Valencia bed, he was really surprised to find a critical Valencia. Sean tried to check Valencia's body.

'Klarybell's soul showed a sign of resistance, this body was no longer able to withstand the weight of his soul. However, there's no way I can find a suitable body container for Klarybell right now, Sean's inner self.

Sean attempts to correct the incompatibility of Valencia's body and Klarybell's soul. It's very hard for him to do. Simultaneously, outside the room sounded very rowdy.

"Your Majesty, seriously! The mansion has been surrounded by witches!"
