The Return of the Mad Witch
Yuine's Throne

Sean had just set foot in the residence of the Archduke Calestine and he was instantly struck by the sharp gazes of the Princes. He's been going around for a while now looking for a body that's a good fit for Klarybell. However, he was late, everyone knew that the soul that possessed Valencia was actually Klarybell.

"What are you saying? I don't get it."

Sean's still trying to dodge, trying to cover as much as possible about Klarybell.

"You have no need to hide any more about who is the soul that resides in the body of Valencia. We all know it" said Sammy.

"Don't pretend anymore, Sean. Everyone already knows the identity of the soul in Valencia's body" Reibert said.

Sean raised the corner of his lips while exhaling a long breath.

"So, you know that? Did Klarybell tell you himself?" ask Sean.

"Right, we found out from him straight away," Xeros replied.

"Where is he now? I can't find him anywhere. There's something I want to talk to him about."

When Sean asked the question, the expressions of the Princes deteriorated. The surrounding atmosphere felt different because of that trivial question.

"You're late. Klarybell has returned to the Mihovil continent with his partner Arc."

"Yes? Klarybell's back on the Mihovil continent?"

As Sean is wracked with panic, his feelings of uneasiness are overwhelming when he finds out that Klarybell has returned to the Mihovil continent unbeknownst to him. He had previously banned the girl. However, Klarybell violated the ban.

'How's this? How could the problem be like this? Klarybell's back at Mihovil, which means I'm late. I have to think of a way to get into Mihovil because Klarybell can't meet another piece of his soul, Sean's inner self.

***

Klarybell had just finished practicing his magic, he had actually cast all of his long-buried magic. His body felt much fresher, no burden flanking his body.

"Your Majesty, it's time for breakfast" said a witch who serves Klarybell.

"All right, I'll be right to the dining room."

Klarybell tidied up a little bit of his appearance then he headed straight for the dining room. Along the tower's hallway, Klarybell felt the atmosphere there had felt much different since he came.

"Good morning, Bell," said Cetrion and Arc.

"Yes, good morning to you both."

Klarybell today had breakfast with Arc and Cetrion. It was routine for him in the past to have breakfast with the two of them. After breakfast, Klarybell takes them to the tower grounds because there's something Klarybell wants to give up.

"The "magic lion that used to guard the continent's borders disappeared. Do you guys know about that?" ask Klarybell.

"We know that, it looks like he was dragged into a portal," Arc replied.

"And I managed to find it in a portal on the Solvey continent. However, he was already killed. I found him protecting one egg."

Klarybell pulled out the egg he had found in the portal. Cetrion and Arc were surprised to see the egg.

"Isn't this the egg of the magicus lion? You found it inside the portal, which means that the magicus lion lived in the portal all this time while defending its life" Cetrion said.

Klarybell nodded. "I found it, but I prevented it from hatching. The magicus lion lived using magic energy. The Solvey Continent did not have as much magic energy as Mihovil. So, it would be hard for him to survive if he hatched on Solvey."

Klarybell handed the magicus lion's egg to Arc.

"In a moment he will hatch, take good care of him until we manage to seize the entire territory of the kingdom and empire on the continent of Mihovil," Klarybell continued.

"Alright, I'll take good care of him."

Arc gave the egg to one of the witches and ordered him to put the egg in his study. Then the three of them turned to the magic training field. There are a few things Klarybell needs to talk about.

"I'll start a rebellion soon. What about you guys?" ask Klarybell.

Arc and Cetrion met each other's eyes, they slowly smiled.

"Of course we'll follow you."

"Good! First of all, let's gather all the witches who are under your auspices. I was planning on giving them a big order to mess up the demonic woman's orders."

It didn't take long for the two to gather a hundred-man witch. Formerly witches who were under their orders numbered in the thousands and scattered in each region of the empire or kingdom.

"really that? Said His Majesty Klarybell back from the dead."

"Because we were assigned in different places, we can't be sure. However, now we can see it directly."

"If true, then this is the time when miracles will work. I hope we can end all this suffering."

A few minutes later, Klarybell entered the room accompanied by Arc and Cetrion. The entire room stared at Klarybell, they had not expected the figure of the legendary mage to be standing before them at this moment.

"Hello everyone. It seems you have heard of me. I no longer need to explain to you why I can stand in this place. I obviously managed to return from the dead. Now I'll explain to you what we have to do to take Mihovil's glory back."

They planned to start an assault on knights and nobles. Then freed the slaves and plundered the property of the nobles.

"Do you understand the plan?"

The witches were stunned when they heard Klarybell's overall plan.

"Understand, Your Majesty," they said in unison and in full vigor.

"Then, let's start carrying out his entire plan. Destroy the humans who dare to break the main rules on the Mihovil continent. Kill, torture, and do not forgive any of them" Klarybell said.

The witches one by one began to disperse carrying out the task that Klarybell had deployed. Not only are they moving, Klarybell is always the leader in motion. Arc and Cetrion also get their share of duty.

'I'll make sure they know that Klarybell is back. I will take power over the continent of Mihovil from the hand of the cursed woman.'

Klarybell wrapped himself in a robe and walked out of the magic tower. From space the girl witnessed many unpleasant events. Especially discrimination and slavery.

"I think I should get down here."

Klarybell landed in front of a small house with a dry field lying in front of him. Someone caught his attention earlier. She is a woman with grayish blue eyes.

"It looks like the descendants of members of the Zofrin Imperial family were exiled to this place" Klarybell surprised the woman.

"A-you who? Are you the p-witch messenger of the demons?"

Klarybell unfolded the hood of his robe, indeed his current appearance even looked suspicious.

"Meet me, I'm Klarybell. Good friend of Emperor Jeff Zofrin."

The woman was petrified upon hearing the name of her ancestor who had died due to the execution of the demons. However, what surprised him even more was the name of the girl in front of him. The name of the legendary figure who became the savior of the Zofrin Empire as well as the leader who brought Mihovil to the peak of glory.

"Klarybell? Not likely. Are you the Great Witch in the history of Mihovil? It doesn't make any sense at all" the woman said.

"Yes, I'm a long-dead Klarybell."

The woman looked terrified after Klarybell confessed to her death. He's inching back away from Klarybell.

"Then are you a ghost?" ask her with a trembling voice.

"Pfft, hahaha." Klarybell laughed at the question. "Take it like that. Though I'm actually living again as a witch."

The woman was silent, Klarybell stopped his laughter.

"You're the real Klarybell?"

Klarybell nodded his head. "Right, I'm the real Klarybell. So can we talk for a moment? There's something I want to talk to you about."

While Klarybell was having a conversation with Emperor Jeff Zofrin's descendant, the witches moved quickly to complete their task. One by one the noble families were torn down in an instant. There was no more resistance because the witches were much stronger than them.

"Save the slaves! Destroy the humans who betrayed His Majesty Klarybell!"

The sentence continued to resonate along with the explosive sound of the destruction of the noble residence. Spirit with anger mixed into one.

The rampage of these witches directly reached Yuine's ears. The short black-striped woman sitting on her throne heard a report about it from one of her subordinates.

"So the witches started to move? Do you know who's behind it?" ask Yuine.

"I'm sorry, Your Honor. We're still investigating. It's just that there are some traces of magic that Klarybell used to use."

Yuine's eyeballs were perfectly rounded, she never expected again to hear the name Klarybell.

"Klarybell? It does not rule out the possibility of the woman coming back again. Tell others to investigate the matter carefully. Don't miss a single piece of information" Yuine said.

"All right, Your Majesty. I'll do it immediately."

On the other side of the throne room, there was a bright blond man leaning against the wall. The lack of light makes the man's face becomes less visible by vision. The corner of his lips lifted listening to every report given to Yuine.

"What do you think, Tryton? Did the woman really come back?"

Yes, that man was Tryton, Klarybell's partner who had betrayed him.

"That could happen." Tryton stepped before Yuine. "Klarybell was a great wizard, it was impossible for him to die so easily because of the black magic meteor."

"Then do you have any way of pulling that woman here? I haven't seen him in a long time. I'll make sure he remembers me right now."

"I'll figure out how to frame him, I also have unfinished business."

Yuine smiled with satisfaction, it was indeed very profitable to make Tryton as one of his subordinates.

"Solve your revenge later, lest you kill him. That woman is mine, I won't let you if you dare to kill her" Yuine pressed.

"Your Majesty, you take it easy. The woman killed both my parents. So I want to torture him before he's really dead" Tryton said.
