The Return of the Mad Witch
Disclosure of Rudolf's Mask

On the next day, Valencia set out to visit the palace with Leah — Stephen's former nanny. They would expose all the evil Rudolf had done before Abraham and Linita. It was time they knew this long-hidden fact.

The arrival of Valencia was welcomed, the servants immediately drove the two of them to the room where Abraham and Linita had been waiting for his presence.

"Valencia, you're finally here" said Linita smiling brightly.

"Hello, Uncle, Auntie. I brought someone with me. Can I ask him to come in?" ask Valencia on the doorstep.

"All right, get that guy in."

After getting permission, Valencia signaled Leah to enter immediately. When Leah stepped in, Abraham and Linita were surprised to see the long-lost man.

"Leahs? You're Leah, aren't you?" linita asked, standing up to Leah.

"Greet His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress." Leah nodded while greeting the two of them.

"Oh my goodness, Leah! Where have you been all this time? You suddenly disappeared from the palace, I thought you were in trouble."

Linita clasped Leah's hands together, it's been a while since Stephen died. Now she's meeting again with someone who's babysitting Stephen.

"I'm just shocked by the death of Prince Stephen, Your Honor. Please forgive me for leaving without saying."

"Gosh, it's okay. Now I'm glad to see you're okay. Come here, let's sit down, there's a lot I want to tell you."

Linita leads Leah to sit on the sofa, she even visits him well. Valencia also sat down, he will start the core of the intention of coming here.

"I didn't know you two knew each other" Abraham said.

"I accidentally met Mrs Leah, so I brought her here to meet you both" Valencia replied.

"It turns out, it's only fitting that you can go to the palace together."

Then the atmosphere of the room turned quiet. Leah was very nervous and stiff, her mind was worried thinking about the next incident.

"Uncle, Auntie, there's something I want to talk about here. This concerns Prince Rudolf," Valencia said at the heart of the conversation.

"Rudolf's? Is there with him? Do you have a problem with Rudolf?" Abraham was still relaxed, completely unaware of Rudolf's face behind the mask.

All of a sudden, Leah was shocked to rest in front of Linita and Abraham. Her tears began to flow, her lips quivering as if hesitatingly wanting to let out her voice. His head started moving down to the floor. Sobbing in memory of the secret he had kept for so many years.

"I'm sorry, Your Honor, I'm sorry. Please forgive me," said Leah.

"Leah, what the hell is this? Why are you prostrating? Let's get up quick." Linita tried to pull Leah up, but Leah insisted on prostrating herself until she finished speaking.

"No, Your Grace. The reason why I'm here is to reveal Prince Stephen's killer."

The deg!

Abraham and Linita were stunned, their hearts beating irregularly. A new problem they hear and an opening of hidden facts make them not know how to say. Sense of that time there was a big stone rolling and then squeezing their bodies.

"Killer Stephen? What the hell are you saying? Stephen's death wasn't an accident?" abraham tried to calm down.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I saw with my own eyes the killer of Prince Stephen. The man pushed Prince Stephen into the lake, even before he had even buried the Prince's head. I'm not lying, this is the reality I've kept all this time."

"Say, who's the killer? Say, Leah!" shouted Linita.

"What?! How could Rudolf do that to his own sister? Are you making this up?!"

Abraham and Linita were not easy to believe. It was expected by Valencia that this situation would occur. The good image Rudolf built was useful in times like these. He managed to completely master everyone's trust.

"Dad, Mother, what Leah's nanny said is true."

Devina appeared from the entrance, she interjected into the tense chatter of the time.

"What are you talking about, Devina? There's no way your brother's a—"

"Mom, I heard it myself. I'm not lying, I heard straight from Brother Rudolf's mouth."

Devina had prepared herself and strengthened her heart to reveal the hidden intentions of the Big Brother. He had almost been killed by Rudolf, so now he could not let it flow.

"Explain to me in detail. What did Rudolf say?" Abraham who lost his mind tried to maintain his sanity for a moment until everything was answered.

Slowly, Devina explained everything to Abraham and Linita. He explained one by one the words of Rudolf that he accidentally heard.

Valencia here only acted as an observer before he got into the middle of the chat. Linita seemed too shocked, his sanity began to be taken away from him.

"I can't believe it. Rudolf is our son! How could he do all this?! Honey, tell me, is this real? Impossible Rudolf—"

"Silence, Linita!" Abraham calmed Linita who was crying hysterically. He understood that his wife could not accept any of this.

"Uncle, Aunt, myself and the Archduke and the seven Princes, we have known the rottenness of Prince Rudolf for a long time. In fact, he intends to kill you both, he also intends to kill Devina."

"There's no reason for me to lie here. So, I beg you to strengthen your heart as I will convey the entirety of Prince Rudolf's crimes. Please accept this fact slowly because I am not the only person who knows the real face of Prince Rudolf" Valencia said.

Valencia then took out a recording device that he created from magic crystals.

"A number of evidences are in this device. Please hear yourself, Uncle."

Valencia turned on the recording. Abraham and Linita forced themselves to stay strong to hear what was behind the recording. Starting from the recording of the servant who became an accomplice Rudolf killed Stephen to the recording of Rudolf's voice when he met Linnea.

It was like a burning fire in the heart. The two of them were speechless until Linita was no longer conscious. Linita was taken to the room, while Abraham continued to listen until the end.

STUMPLINGS!

Abraham hit the glass table in front of him, causing his hand to be injured by a broken corner of the glass.

"Bagjing*n! I have been fooled by his attitude. Even though he's my son, I still won't forgive him!"

Abraham's wrath was evident from the light of his eyes. Valencia saluted Abraham who was like a true leader and did not apply to his family or people.

A few seconds later, there was a noise coming from outside the palace. A knight came to report the situation.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for interrupting your conversation, but right now in front there are many people protesting. They said that they were the ones who were almost killed by Prince Rudolf."

Valencia smiled slantingly as he rose from his position.

'A little bit more I will find the point of resolution of the problems that occurred in Alegra. I was quite satisfied, at least I was able to witness Rudolf's death moments.'
