The Return of the Mad Witch
Putting Illusion Magic

Valencia lit a fire from his palm. Guilla was increasingly depressed when he saw Valencia could play magic. His feelings became erratic, everything he could feel clearly. However, fear dominated, his life as if it would be uprooted by Valencia that very second.

With trembling steps, Guilla retreated backwards. He rejected that fact, he rejected the existence of Valencia as a witch. Wishing this was just a dream, but what power if he runs it is a reality.

"Why are you afraid? Oh, I just remembered. Mantra magicians have long been hunted by the Great Witch Klarybell. They had made a mess using forbidden spells. Who would have thought it turned out that you escaped to the Solvey continent. You must be one of the descendants of the spell witch."

"No, it's impossible! You can't be a witch!"

Valencia grinned, this was the response he wanted from Guilla. That woman wouldn't be able to sleep well if she knew that there was a witch who was after her life.

"Why do you still insist on denying the truth about my identity? You killed Valencia, because you had your life thrown into disarray! Ah, don't think you didn't feel guilty after killing Valencia?!" press Valencia.

"What did you say? Clearly now you're in front of me. You're not dead and you're alive!" sangkal Guilla raised his tone.

"Who said I was Valencia?"

Guilla's eyeballs are perfectly rounded, he sees clearly Klarybell's shadow in Valencia.

"You're not Valencia? Then who are you?!"

The corner of Valencia's lips lifted, his pair of manics looking straight at Guilla.

"I am Klarybell. The Great Witch, Klarybell Berliana."

Guilla's chest tightened upon hearing the name. The crazy woman who hunted her ancestors was Klarybell Berliana. The name that became the greatest fear for magicians spells.

"Didn't Klarybell have been dead for a long time? How's the story about you living in someone else's body?"

Guilla's voice rang out, the atmosphere around increasingly gripping and pinning Guilla's chest.

"I came down to earth completing the mission of the god of peace. His mission is to change Valencia Allerick's destiny and avenge his death to those who hurt him. Especially you, Guilla! The woman Valencia hated the most."

The killing aura from Valencia shook Guilla's soul. The woman dropped her body and prostrated herself on the floor. It seemed like he was going to beg for forgiveness for his life.

"I'm sorry, please forgive my life. Don't kill me, I beg you. I didn't mean to kill Valencia. Please, I beg you to give me a chance to correct my attitude, ", Guilla said.

Valencia stared coldly at Guilla, already he guessed there would be a time where he had to face Guilla who was starting to despair.

"Again? Pardon you? Wh-wh-what for? Valencia is dead. It's just that you're apologizing to me because I'm not Valencia."

"Then what should I do? Please don't kill me. I plead guilty, but please let me live."

Valencia turned the eyeball lazily, his forehead furrowed looking at Guilla who was still in a prostration position. The woman put aside her pride in order to ask for forgiveness so as not to be killed.

"Go to hell, I don't accept forgiveness from a destructive human like you. Your existence will only bring bad luck. Of course I won't kill you now because I make sure you suffer before you die."

Guilla felt desperate, free of charge of prostrating himself. However, Valencia did not put a bit of pity on him.

"From now on live in the illusion of torture. You can't get out of this place without my permission."

Valencia flicked his fingers, he sprinkled illusory magic onto Guilla. The woman shouted, she saw the illusion of herself being in the middle of a huge fire.

***

Valencia ruffled the pile of documents on the table. There have been many reports coming in about a number of problems that occurred during the festival. Then today was the fifth day of the festival and he still could not get out of the mansion.

"I knew something was amiss from the deaths of Linnea's two parents. Should I check it out directly? Anyway, I need to find a reason to kill him. Who knows the death of his parents has been sabotaged without the knowledge of others."

Then Valencia called Luana to meet him immediately. Lekas Luana immediately complied with the call from Valencia.

"Are you calling me, Miss?" ask Luana.

"Yes, come. I have a new job for you" Valencia said.

"New task? What should I do?"

"Please find out about the cause of death of Linnea's parents. I got the info, if the coachman of the horse-drawn carriage his parents survived. Try to dig out information from the person and also from former workers in his parents' mansion first," explained Valencia gave the order.

"Good, Miss. I'll go find him and report him to you later."

Luana understood more quickly, she seemed excited about receiving a task from Valencia. It's time for Valencia to relax for a moment.

"Oh yeah, almost forgot. I have to go see the Emperor of Sergia. I promised I'd see him."

Valencia rushed to get ready to head to the place where Dimitri was resting. Her appointment with Dimitri was today. At least he had to go and subtly deny Dimitri's marriage proposal.

Upon arrival at the Dimitri inn, Valencia was immediately told to go inside. He was warmly and kindly welcomed by Dimitri's subordinates.

"Greet His Majesty the Emperor of Sergia." Valencia very politely gave a respectful greeting.

"Have your regards, please sit down, Miss."

Dimitri smiled softly, he immediately told Valencia to sit on the sofa opposite him.

"Your Majesty, I've come to return this."

Valencia submitted a cover letter which was then sent by Dimitri. The return of the letter immediately understood Dimitri that the girl had subtly rejected him.

"You refuse to be the Empress of Sergia?"

Valencia nodded slowly. "Right, I still don't understand why you want to bother me. We have never met, nor do we know each other. Your marriage application letter confused me" Valencia said.

"It's only natural that you reject someone you've never met. However, I've met you a few times."

Valencia was fixated for a moment when Dimitri claimed to have met him.

"Where did you meet me?"

"That's when you beat up a thief in the capital market. At that time I was in the same place as you. Then I've also seen you sneak outside the academy. The first impression I see of you is that you are a very unique woman" Dimitri said.

Valencia was not aware of Dimitri's existence at all. No wonder why Dimitri didn't seem like the one who first saw Valencia.
