The Return of the Mad Witch
Guilla's Dragged to Prison

The man named Roy looked surprised at once Valencia said that he was an accomplice to Rudolf in Stephen's murder. A secret he had kept for so many years finally slowly revealed to the surface. Valencia was the one who would expose all Rudolf's crimes.

"What did you say?! I have nothing to do with Prince Stephen's death!".

Roy insisted on denying all Valencia allegations. His various crimes have been stored neatly, he also received most of the money that made him live well until now.

"Is that really so?" Valencia casts his magic to break Roy's big toe.

"Armghhhh!" Roy squealed in pain to endure the first torment of Valencia.

"Every time you tell a lie, then I'll break one of your fingers. If you still love your life, I suggest you confess" Valencia said.

"No, I won't say—"

Crack

One more finger was broken, and so on until Roy's toes and hands were all broken. After being broken all, Valencia gave Roy a potion to heal him. However, Valencia again tortured him using the same method.

"You are a man who keeps your master's secret well. Should I now use another method of torture?"

Valencia sat on a chair. He observed Roy grimacing in pain after being repeatedly tormented.

"Bring it in, I will show you what it is like to live between the brink of death" Valencia commanded the knights.

Shortly after, a number of knights pushed into a giant aquarium covered in black cloth. Roy just stared fearfully at Valencia without making a sound.

"Open the cover" Valencia gave the order.

How surprised Roy was to witness a shark swimming freely in the aquarium. It is not an ordinary shark, the shark has a jet black color. Different from sharks in general.

Of course the shades are different, it is because Valencia makes its own sharks and is used as a medium of torture. Roy will not be able to escape death.

"Since you choose to keep your mouth shut, I'll make you realize who you're lying to right now."

The knights remembered Roy's body on a rope. His body slowly lifted upward toward the aquarium. Now right under his body, he saw clearly the eyes of a shark who wanted to eat him.

"No! Please don't throw me in there."

Roy's voice sounded trembling, it was unexpected that Valencia would torture him to this extent.

"Then do you want to talk now? That Prince Rudolf you serve will not be able to protect you from my anger. Choose which path you should take in the current position."

"I admit it! I worked under the orders of Prince Rudolf from the very beginning."

Valencia smiled in satisfaction, he gestured for the knights to release Roy.

"Let me hear your confession."

Roy was seated on a chair with his hands and feet tied in chains. Valencia asked him a lot of questions. Roy answered everything honestly.

Rudolf, who harbored a great deal of malice against Stephen, often tried to kill Stephen using poison. However, no matter how many times he put poison in Stephen's food and drink, he still failed to kill him. Then Roy was the one who had helped Rudolf put the poison.

Roy also admitted that Stephen's death was not an accident, but a planned murder neatly arranged by Rudolf. Valencia recorded Roy's confession inside a crystal recorder that he found in a portal not long ago. This tape he'll use later as one of the evidence.

"Because I have got the information I want, now throw him into the aquarium to be eaten for dinner by my beloved shark" Valencia said.

Valencia ignored Roy's scream, his body immediately dragged by the knights and thrown into the aquarium.

***

Guilla is currently in a threatened position. The entire spell he had cast to control everyone one by one began to disintegrate. In fact, now he was no longer able to cast the same spell.

"How's this? Why doesn't the spell work at all as if something is blocking me."

Guilla turned over every page of the spell book he had gotten from his mother who was also a spell mage. Guilla had obtained a luxurious life thanks to the spell. However, everything will end because the spell does not work as usual.

"I was so panicked, I couldn't sleep well. In recent times, the Grand Duke spends more time with the woman jal*ng. Can't! I have to find a way to get everything back to me."

Late in the night, Guilla sneaked into the pavilion of Helen's residence. He had a knife in his hand. Guilla's aura was shrouded in a powerful killing aura.

"If I want to give everything back, then I have to kill that woman. If he's not around, I can easily get the position I want."

Guilla crawled into Helen's room, and found Helen sleeping on the bed. Guilla approached her slowly and minimized the sound that might wake Helen up.

Just before Guilla managed to land the tip of his knife, Helen suddenly woke up feeling that someone had entered her room.

"Guilla, what are you trying to do?!"

Helen got up and pushed Guilla away from her. Helen soon realizes that Guilla is planning to kill her. If he was a little late, it is certain that he died at the hands of Guilla.

"Are you going to kill me?!" helen's snatch was laced with deep emotion.

"Haha." Guilla laughed like a madman, he had refrained all this time from being reckless. "You are a big barrier to me! If you die, I can take your place as the mistress of this residence. You have to sacrifice for me, Helen! You must die at my hands."

Guilla also without hesitation immediately lunged at the knife towards Helen. The mad woman moved out of balance, but her movements were inevitable to Helen until she was impaled by a sharp knife.

Helen's body fell to the surface of the floor, blood pouring down from her wounds. An inexplicable pain gnawed at Helen.

"Helen!"

Adarian came in time with the knights. Fortunately he received a report from one of the servants who accidentally saw Guilla sneaking into Helen's room.

"Helen, can you hear my voice?"

Adarian took Helen into his arms, the woman almost lost her consciousness. Adarian's hand trembled anxiously, a feeling of wrath haunting his head.

"W-How can you b-can be here? Aren't you in a job outside the area?!" Guilla panicked instead of playing, he could barely speak properly.

Adarian looked at Guilla sharply, he was really angry to find Helen's condition was badly injured because of the woman he hated at that time.

"How dare you hurt my wife! Knight, drag this woman to the dungeon! Bracket him and don't let anyone meet him without my permission! He has committed a great sin for daring to harm my wife" said Adarian.

"No, Your Majesty! Don't put me in jail. Don't you love me? If—"

"SILENCE!" sergeant Adarian. "You disgusting woman! I'm not just gonna let you go. I'll make sure you suffer in prison because you hurt my wife and killed my only daughter."

Guilla was forcibly dragged to a dungeon. Adarian did not show the slightest bit of mercy towards Guilla. There was only the flames of anger along with grudges burning in the chest.
