The Return of the Mad Witch
Valencia Are Back

Sean just remembered something, the magic core of ailing Valencia can be recovered using water from the fairy's well. He looked at everyone who was there.

"You said fairy lake, right? Here there is a fairy lake, more precisely in the Haleyan mountains," replied Rexid.

"really? But, it is not possible for me to bring Valencia there directly. The fairy lake water could at least ease the pain in her magic core. Can you bring water from the fairy's well using magic?" sean Pinta.

"Alright, then I'll go now."

Rexid as fast as lightning flew towards the Haleyan mountains. Along with the burning anxiety in his chest, Rexid thought incessantly of Valencia along the way.

It didn't take long for Rexid until he managed to bring a tub full of fairy lake water. Sean immediately put Valencia's body in the bathup and let him soak there for approximately an hour.

"The body temperature and heart rate are starting to normalize. Looks like fairy lake water managed to ward off the pain in his heart," Sammy said after examining Valencia's body.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they were really grateful that Valencia was starting to improve.

"But, he was still unconscious until now. When will Valencia wake up?" ask Reibert.

"It took him quite a long time to come to his senses. Maybe one to two weeks because the fairy lake water is still reacting at the magic core" Sean explained.

Exactly as Sean said, Valencia had not even been conscious for two weeks. The girl was still lying on the bed and her entire promise was forced to be canceled, including the promise she would attend dinner in the Kingdom of Sergia.

There are many people who are worried about Valencia. Abraham and Linita went to Valencia. They looked sad to see a Valencia that was not as noisy as usual.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

Valencia suddenly woke up in the middle of a quiet night. He did not find anyone around him, it seemed that everyone was resting.

"Full moon? That means I've been lying down for two weeks. But, it seems like my magic core has fully recovered" murmured Valencia.

The girl got up from the bed, she stood before the makeup mirror to see for herself the magic core from the mirror reflection.

"As I expected, this body is unable to bear the burden of my strength. Does that mean I have to find a new container again?"

"Yes, that's right, you have to find a new container again because if you force the body to use it then the body will be destroyed," Sean replied coming from an unexpected direction.

Valencia let out a long sigh, Sean had always surprised him like that.

"How long can this body last?" ask Valencia.

"Six months. You only have six months. You'd better quickly solve your problem here before you move on to finding a new container."

"Six months? Yeah, I guess that's enough to reveal Prince Binging's rebellion plan*n that."

After that conversation, Sean again disappeared from Valencia's view. Even in the morning, the whole mansion was excited because Valencia had returned from his unconsciousness. Everyone feels grateful for that.

"Miss, I have the latest news" said Pierre excitedly.

"What news makes you so excited?" valencia was busy moving her pen.

"I just got a story from Grand Duke Allerick's residence. He said the Grand Duke now often ignored Lady Guilla and Miss Linnea. Could it be that now the Grand Duke is starting to feel regret for what he did to you?"

Valencia smiled his smile, he paused for a moment his writing activity.

"really? Well, then, good. Let them suffer amid the indifference of the Grand Duke."

Valencia feels its own satisfaction, this is the best news that he has received in recent times.

'The game has just begun, within six months I'll make sure you die of torture. It seemed like Guilla's controlling spell had been broken completely. Who would have thought that the woman was a magician of spells, ' Inner Valencia.

Rudolf, the man had just returned from the portal conquest. He still had an angel mask on his face. His arrival was also welcomed by the palace residents.

"Today he had just returned to the palace, it seemed that Prince Rudolf had this time successfully completed the conquest of the portal again."

The commotion contained the flattery of the servants following Rudolf's steps towards the main palace. His steps were accompanied by Elkin who was always loyal to be beside him.

Then in the middle of the steps at the intersection of the passageway, a servant accidentally bumped into Rudolf. The waiter fell to the floor. It was revealed from the face of the waiter that he was very panicked when he realized who he had hit.

"Y-Your Majesty, forgive me. S-I'm not seng—"

"Are you okay?"

Rudolf unexpectedly extended his hand to the servant. It was a surprise that the servant received the kind treatment of Rudolf who had a sweet smile and angelic kindness. Yes, it was the perfect mask for Rudolf.

"I'm fine, Your Majesty." The servant received a helping hand from Rudolf.

"Other times be more careful when walking. Understood?" rudolf said softly.

"Y-Yes, Your Majesty. Thank you and once again I apologize for my carelessness, Your Majesty."

It ended just like that, in the deserted passageway, Elkin gave Rudolf a handkerchief.

"Very disgusting." Rudolf wiped his hands and threw away the handkerchief. His friendly expression turned cold.

Upon arrival in Abraham's room, Rudolf's appearance was greeted so warmly by Father and Mother.

"It seems you've managed to conquer the portal again. Is everything okay?" ask Abraham.

"Yes, of course. I'm much better" replied Rudolf.

Abraham and Linita exchanged glances, it seemed like they wanted to have a serious talk with Rudolf.

"Rudolf, the real reason we called you here is to ask about your engagement to Miss Linnea" Linita said.

Rudolf had expected that both of his parents seemed to object to his decision to get engaged to Linnea.

"Does Father and Mother object to my engagement request with Miss Linnea?"

"That's not it, it's just that you know for yourself some bad rumors about Miss Linnea. You better think carefully about your decision before it's too late" said Abraham.

"Whatever we are both your parents, we also want you to choose the best" Linita said.

Rudolf put down his teacup, he began to design words that he would use to explain his parents' concerns.

"I think Miss Linnea is pretty good, I can change her later when I'm married to her. After all Miss Linnea is not that bad, I like her more than the girl Father and Mother have chosen for me all along" Rudolf explained.

Abraham and Linita could not resist the wishes of his son. They did not want to disturb the happiness Rudolf wanted.

"Alright if that's your wish, we won't go against your decision to get engaged to Miss Linnea."

After that, they had a brief conversation before Rudolf finally made his way to the palace of his residence. The entire friendly expression Rudolf showed instantly vanished as he set foot in his room.

"Damn it! How dare they try to prevent what I want to do. Are they trying to be good parents to me? Looks like they're late."

A thread of past memories flashed through Rudolf's head. At first glance he saw the face of a boy who was smiling with Abraham and Linita.

"Stephen! Even after his death, the Emperor still hasn't decided on me becoming the Crown Prince. Why do I have to live among Stephen's shadow? She's my sister, but my parents love her more."

"Stephen, the second Prince who is famous for his genius and his ability to socialize. I have never forgotten the face of my sister who shines more than me. Many of the nobles suggested Stephen to be the next regent."

Rudolf's face furrowed, he bit his lower lip while grumbling furiously in view of the long-dead Brother.

"There's nothing I need to fear now that I killed Stephen. I will rise to be Emperor and change the order of Alegra society. I will make this empire a place where everyone can do various illegal things. Hahaha, just wait, I can definitely make it happen."
