The Return of the Mad Witch
Linnea Fooled By Rudolf

All over Linnea limply read the official letter of the annulment of the engagement that Rudolf had handed to her. Linnea was speechless, her voice was stuck in her throat, her mind was up because of it. Rudolf simply looked at him guiltlessly, Linnea swallowed the bitter reality after getting the calamity that took the most meaning from her.

“What else is it? That's our engagement cancellation letter. I want to end this useless engagement. Hurry up and sign it! I can no longer bear to inhale the stench of that disgusting face of yours, Hina” Rudolf.

Once again Linnea was very surprised to find the words that were blatantly insulting to her. As he had known all along, Rudolf was an angelic-hearted man and had a soft word. However, Linnea's eyes opened, she saw clearly who the real figure behind the angel mask was used to persuade others.

“I don't think, why are you changing now? Isn't your usual very gentle to me? Or could this be your true self?”

Rudolf frowned, slowly heard the sound of booming laughter in the underground prison hallway. Whether or not how many people had been deceived thanks to his acting all along, he easily deceived others using only a smile and soft words.

“Yes, this is the real me! Stupid humans like you are easily fooled by the masks I use as best I can to cover up my vices. Anyway there's no point in me covering myself up from you,”

Linnea growled furiously, both of her hands clenched firmly, for a moment she felt a deep sense of regret. He admitted that his possible sin against Valencia was now being paid through karma worse than his shadow.

“Why? Why should I accept this humiliation?! What is my fault with you, Your Majesty? Is there not a single shred of your conscience? Do you feel sorry to see me like this?” whinek Linnea was sobbing.

“Jeez, Linnea. You take me seriously with you? I'm not serious at all. From the beginning I used you. I want you to kill Valencia with your hands, not mine. So, if he gets killed, then I'll just blame you. However, who would have thought that he always escaped death, his luck is very good, I admit it.”

Rudolf revealed his hidden intentions all along to Linnea, none of the sincerity she had put into the engagement relationship between the two.

“You have the heart, Your Majesty. You bear! What are my sins to you?! You are so evil for having hurt me,” shrewd Linnea.

“Evil? Oi! You're not reflecting? You also used me to get the position of Empress right? Therefore, do not feel the most hurt. Here you expect something from me, and so do I. We're the same, Linnea! Equally blind to power, blind to treasure, and blind to malice.”

“But, I'm not as bad as you until I intend to sacrifice me! You are truly a demon-hearted human!” shouted Linnea with tears continuously pouring out.

“I don't care, the important thing is that my goal is achieved to rule this continent. Now sign the letter and hand it over to me. Fast!” urged Rudolf.

Linnea was eventually forced to sign her letter and hand it over again to Rudolf.

“Well, then I no longer need to force you and waste my energy yelling at you. I go first, enjoy the last days of your life in this prison.”

Rudolf hurriedly went away from the prison, the smell from Linnea's face making her stomach even more nauseous. Meanwhile, Linnea's body decays to the floor, her legs no longer holding her weight. Linnea's cry grew louder, he beat his chest which felt unusually tight and aching as if it had been pierced by thousands of needles.

“How does it feel? How does it feel to be betrayed by someone you trust the most? It must hurt, right?”

“You want what else you came here for? Do you just want to laugh at my life?!”

“No, I just want to hand this to you, who knows you need.”

Valencia threw a small knife at Linnea, though small but his sharpness was beyond doubt. Linnea picked up the knife, she still did not understand the intent of the knife Valencia threw.

“Why did you give me a knife?” linnea asked unfriendly as usual.

“You'll need it later to slice your veins to death. Don't you feel like dying now? So, use that to kill yourself. No one will care about your life. You are destined to die suffering in solitude.”

Valencia's words filled Linnea's head, the girl managed to get her hypnotizing words. His head ached, strange sounds buzzing in his head, it was the sound of death that Linnea heard.

“Because you're silent, I assume you understand what I'm saying. Now I go first, remember what I told you,” Valencia said stepping out of jail.

Linnea was still transfixed, her body petrified looking at the knife Valencia had given her.

“I must die in solitude, I must die! I don't want to live anymore. There is no reason to live longer in this world. I want to die, I don't want to be left alone,” murmured Linnea.

Valencia manages to brainwash Linnea, soon Linnea will find her doom. Valencia endlessly smiled happily, this way he could focus on facing Rudolf.

“Why do you rush to kill Linnea? Don't you think it's better for him to be left to suffer even longer?” tanya Rexid did not understand the meaning of the mind of Valencia.

“Can't, if I let him live any longer then I'm afraid his body will be used as a container of evil by the enemy. There is no harm in us being more vigilant before something happens that is not desirable,” explained Valencia.

The Seventh Prince who was in the same room as Valencia nodded in understanding. They did not know much about the world of magic so they had to obey whatever Valencia said when it was related to magic.

“What will you do after successfully overcoming Rudolf's problem?” Leano suddenly asked a question that made Valencia speechless.

There was no way he could answer the truth to them, his identity was a huge secret that could not be told to anyone, unless he was in a position where it required him to open his identity.

Valencia let out a long sigh, everyone waiting for a definite answer from Valencia's mouth.

“I still don't know what I want to do, which is clear I'm going to do something that could shake this world. For now let's think of a way to trap Rudolf so that he can I send him to hell too.”
