The Return of the Mad Witch
Death of William and Endry

Linita was fixated on a portrait of a boy clearly displayed among the portraits of members of the imperial family. His tears glistened for a moment looking at the portrait, implied a longing that could not be explained using words. Unable to be lied to, there was a pain hidden behind Linita's heart.

Though it was late at night, but Linita refused to sleep, there was a shadow from her past memories regarding her long-dead son. It has been some time, there have been many changes taking place in the palace. However, Linita could not get rid of the memories of Stephen from his memory room.

“Linita, what are you doing here?” Abraham suddenly came to Linita.

As tears fell, Linita wiped away, slowly raising the corner of her lips to grievously smile. Even though he had hidden his pain as best he could, he still could not lie to Abraham.

“Nothing, I was just looking at Stephen's portrait,” Linita replied.

Abraham also approached his wife, he immediately grabbed Linita's shoulders to calm his feelings.

“I miss, Stephen. If he was alive today, he might have become a grown man. Today is the anniversary of Stephen's death, I can't help but miss him,” Linita said.

“I feel the same way with you too, Stephen always smiles and treats everyone very well. If only I could have saved him, if I had banned him from going to the lake, it might not have been like this. I feel guilty both to you and to Stephen.”

Linita fell silent, Abraham could not hold back his tears, the man cried for the first time. The guilt that he had been carrying was enough to make him depressed, his life was always overshadowed by the memories of Stephen.

“Hey, it's not your fault. You're not wrong, Stephen will hate you if you blame yourself for his death. Either way, Stephen would not like his parents to grieve let alone blame himself for his death. It's not your fault, stop throwing everything at you.”

Linita clutched Abraham, countless scratches etched into their hearts, an unbecoming feeling made them equally claustrophobic.

“I can't even afford to visit his grave, I'm scared all the time. Is this really not my fault? How else do I make myself calmer?”

“I'm here, don't throw everything into your heart, please share it with me. I love you, I love Stephen, and I love both of our other children. I don't want to lose anyone anymore. Stop blaming yourself, you understand?”

Without the two of them noticing, Devina had witnessed everything from behind the wall. He held back sobs hearing his parents were so hurt since the departure of his second brother.

‘It's not your fault, Brother didn't die because of you. Father and Mother have fought all this time to stand firm for the people. Dad and Mom have been good parents for Big Brother, Devina's inner’.

Devina chooses to go to her room instead of having to hear more about her parents' grief. At the intersection of the passageway, Devina accidentally passed Rudolf by. He was aghast at the shock of finding Rudolf in the palace during nights like this.

“What happened to you?” asked Rudolf to Devina.

“Nothing, my eyes ache from being hit by sand while walking out. Then brother why is he here? Though today is the anniversary of the death of Brother Stephen, why is Brother coming now?” ask Devina back.

“I'm busy, I just have time now,” replied Rudolf flatly.

“Lying! Brother never came home to the palace every time it was the anniversary of Stephen's death. Is Big Brother hiding something behind me?” devina Tudding.

Rudolf immediately raised a murderous gaze at Devina, the two of them had never simply greeted her well or had four eyes. For some reason, Rudolf often shied away from Devina. Sometimes Devina felt that Rudolf hated her.

“Can't you stop asking? I'mtired. You better get out of front of me now,” press Rudolf.

Devina flinched, and Rudolf left Devina, still glued to herself. Devina only realized that her brother was not actually an angelic hearted man, but a man in an angelic mask and hearted like a demon.

‘Our relationship is very bad, could it be that she is vengeful to me because I also intend to be the heir to the throne?’

The Alegra Empire was again appalled by William's death in the room where he was locked up. The condition of the body is very sad, even Sammy had to intervene to bring the body to the funeral coffin. Because, Guilla's body is very soft, if the wrong way to lift, then his body will be scattered.

Helen remained silent in front of Guilla's coffin and stared at the disembodied face. Disgusting, those were the words that were in the mind of Helen at that time, the woman who became the source of her suffering had walked into hell.

‘I will never forgive you, I hope Valencia can give you a very strong blow if he meets you later in the afterlife. However, I hope that he does not have to bother to meet you. Let Valencia see you from the door of heaven, this is a punishment for you, a punishment for the murderer of my daughter!’ inner Helen.

Not finished burying Guilla's body, the same day the empire got news of Endry's death. The man died mysteriously, it was because the energy in his body was absorbed by the forbidden magic artifact. As a result, on that day the people had to bury two sinners at once.

“Who would have thought that this mother and son were dying in the near future, maybe this is karma. I hope you will remain in hell, live the torture as a result of your bad deeds in the world. Every now and then I would go to the afterlife to watch you tortured in hell,” murmured Valencia in front of the bodies of Endry and Guilla.

Valencia was very satisfied, his life felt lighter now, only two cases left that he needed to take care of, namely the case of Rudolf and the case of Linnea.

“It looks like your mood is very good today,” Frintz said.

Valencia was flabbergasted, again he was unaware of Frintz's extremely thin aura of existence.

“Of course, one by one the parasites I managed to get rid of. Now Linnea and Rudolf are all I have to deal with.”

“At least in this way your grudges in the past were successfully completed. There's nothing you need to worry about anymore,” Frintz said.

“Yes, you're right, there's nothing I need to worry about anymore.”

Valencia closed his eyes for a moment as he exhaled slowly. Now it's time to use this body as well almost out. He will leave his life as Valencia and will be the soul of Klarybell who always hovers above the sky.
