The Return of the Mad Witch
A Step Toward Death

Rudolf paused for a moment withstanding the pain in his cheek, Valencia's slap so intense that it made him feel a pain he had never felt in all this time. Somehow, Valencia could tell that the bracelet was a forbidden magic artifact he had obtained from Elkin.

“Then you yourself how did you know that the bracelet was a forbidden magic artifact? Did someone tell you? Or did you know from the beginning?” rudolf asked, staring intently.

Valencia turned a lazy eyeball while sitting on an empty seat in front of Rudolf. He needed an honest answer as soon as possible, but Rudolf instead asked him a question back.

“What do I not know about magic? I know exactly the likeness of the magic artifact that had long been sealed in the Mihovil continent. I don't know how you got that forbidden magic artifact. Please answer! Don't make me get irritated to see you.”

Valencia tried to suppress Rudolf, a stubborn man who seemed to need to be pressured to be aware of what he was about to say. A lie means rebellion against Valencia.

“I won't tell you, even if you go berserk once in my palace, I don't care. Secrets are still secrets, I close the secret from where I got the forbidden magic artifact. You got it?”

“Consecration?” Valencia smiled at his smile. “What are you keeping secret? I already know everything. If you refuse to say it, then you must accept the risk from me later.”

Valencia rose from his seat, frustration continued to dominate Valencia's feelings. However, if he continues here then that is meaningless and a waste of time. Actually at that time Rudolf was very agitated, the words of Valencia every emphasis contained a bluff impliedly. Rudolf tried to calm himself down, though the fear in his heart still prevailed.

“Oh yes, you know? No matter what kind of trick you play, you won't be able to kill me because I'm stronger than you. I can slash your head at any time and hang it in the town square. However, I do not want to do it yet, you should be careful from now on because you will become dust in the end in my hands,” Valencia persemat not kidding.

Valencia left Rudolf's room, the man ruffled his hair in frustration at the thought of how to get rid of Valencia.

“Fuck again! The man is unreliable. It was in vain that I gave him a forbidden magic artifact. What else am I supposed to do now? I can't let Valencia live a good life and then destroy my plans to rule this continent.”

Valencia deflected his steps into the room where Guilla lay weakly helpless. The woman had been given tranquilizing magic by Elkin. Valencian immediately groped Guilla away from the palace of Prince Rudolf's residence.

Then in the middle of the palace passageway, Valencia's steps were intercepted by Elkin. At first glance Valencia felt that Elkin was about to suppress himself. Valencia smiled obliquely, such a small pressure would have no effect on him.

“Nona, where will you take Mrs Guilla?” asked the flat-faced Elkin.

“I'll take him back to Grand Duke Allerick's residence. Why indeed? Is there a problem?” ketus Valencia's.

“Of course it's a problem, you've barged into Prince Rudolf's residence without permission. Do you still feel guilty after what you did? Miss, please don't look for trouble again.”

Valencia laughed out loud at Elkin's words, the man bravely resisted Valencia's words and bullied the girl fearlessly.

Elkin gasped, his whole body goosebumps, how frightening the magic and pressure from Klarybell was. He could not deny, the girl did have extraordinary magic that made others not dare to bully him excessively.

“Forbidden magic artifact? It seems you know a lot about magic artifacts.”

Valencia flashed a sinister smile, Elkin wasting his energy talking to Valencia. It was fortunate that the girl was not in the killing mode, so the man could still survive.

“That's basic knowledge for me, you don't have to say that if you know my identity yourself. A low-class witch like you is not worth dealing with me.”

Valencia passed away leaving Elkin just like that, his very fast movement made Elkin not have time to chase after him. The man lost his courage when dealing directly with Valencia. He did not deny it, witches like himself would not be able to fight Valencia with a level of magic power that is much different from magicians in general.

Upon arrival at the residence of Grand Duke Allerick, Valencia immediately handed Guilla to Adarian. Guilla's condition was really bad, even Adarian did not think that Guilla was in such a state of concern.

“Grand Duke, prepare a special room for Guilla. We cannot put this woman in jail because there could be enemies trying to free her,” Valencia said.

“What kind of room is needed?” ask Adarian.

“Small room is closed with enough air circulation then if you can in it there is one special bed. He'll go crazy again if he's aware of his stings, so we better watch out before he wreaks havoc.”

Adarian agreed to Valencia's request, he immediately took Valencia to a closed room on the other side of the residence unknown to Valencia.

“This place is pretty good according to what I meant earlier. Alright, lock this woman up in this room, I will wrap around the room using magic.”

After that, William was placed on a small bed, his legs and hands in chains to each side of the bed. The illusion magic that Valencia installed could not be broken even by Elkin because it was a high-level magic that no one could master.

‘Goodbye, Guilla. Your soul will soon cross the bridge of hell, hopefully torture in hell can make you realize that what you have done to Valencia is a big mistake.’

Valencia leaves the residence of Grand Duke Allerick and sends a message to keep an eye on Guilla and Endry. The two of them were dealt a crushing blow so their sanity was both forcibly snatched away. Retaliation a step closer to success, Valencia is very satisfied to make people who hurt the owner of the body die miserable due to the suffering that was inscribed Valencia before the death to pick him up.

Adarian immediately collected a pile of evidence documents about the crime that Guilla and Endry had committed. It has been found that there were several servants and knights who died as a result of being tortured by them. Then the crime of using the mantra of control, the murder of Valencia, fraud, embezzlement of funds, as well as bribery.

‘Valencia, can you watch from up there? Father and Mother have done whatever it takes to avenge Guilla and Endry's crimes against you. Please forgive us for forgetting you. When we meet later, are you still ready to meet us? Pardon Father and Mother, my daughter,’ Inner Adarian is teary-eyed.
