The Return of the Mad Witch
Count Terao

 “Master, department! Something happened to the dam!”

A subordinate knight of Count Terano had just finished monitoring the dam, but he returned in a hasty state. He brought a report that was very surprising until now Count Tero was forced to pause for a moment to have fun with young women. Count Terano stared at the focus of his subordinates, he hoped that it was not bad news that he was hard to overcome.

“What's up? What kind of report makes you so rushed to see me?” ask Count Tero.

“The river water is flowing back, the dam is leaking but after investigation there are no sidelines that cause the leak. Now the water of the dam is flowing out in a gap that is not visible to the eye. You better check now, Sir, we really don't understand about this weirdness,” explained the knight.

Count Terano hit the table, he was shocked not to hear the report, he switched from his seat and approached his subordinates. Count Terano found it hard to believe the impossible report, doubted it and made it seem like it was a lie.

“You don't lie! Where is it possible that dam water could leak just like that. What's more, no leak found? Are you sure of that? It is impossible for the water to flow if it is not because of a gap in the dam!” count Trano's Omelette.

The knight who gave the report was bowed down, he was attacked by word for word, making him afraid to speak further in order to attract the trust of Count Terano. The greedy old man was suddenly afflicted with a pain in the head. Without waiting for a long time, he rushed to the location of the dam.

In the place of the dam there were already a number of subordinates of Count Terano who were being preoccupied with checking the dam. Their faces were confused because no matter how many times he tried to check the dam, they still did not find any leaks in the dam building. The more they check it, the less they find any irregularities.

“How? Did you guys find anything wrong with the dam?” ask Count Tero.

“No, sir, everything is normal even we've tried to re-clog the water but it keeps flowing and it makes it through. I do not know what is wrong here, but if seen many times it is very impossible this thing to happen.”

Count Terano ruffled his hair frustrations, even though the casino building plans he had designed over the years were almost done. However, with this kind of problem Count Terano lost the opportunity to build a casino. He has been struggling to find additional funds everywhere, now forced to postpone the construction of his casino for a while.

“There is no other way, the most appropriate way for me to do now is to forcibly evict the residents of Sanori Village. This way I can set up a casino without having to think about anything else,” muttered Count Terano.

***

Reibert had reported all the details of the incident that befell Sanori Village to the Emperor. Of course the Emperor showed such great anger that he ordered Reibert to immediately take care of Count Terano. As per overnight's appointment, Reibert and Valencia will meet in one place in the morning. Reibert brought some of his subordinates, Valencia also brought some female knights.

“You guys arrived early.”

“What's up? Is there something wrong with my appearance?” ask Valencia.

Reibert shook his head. “No, no. Then can we leave now? We must arrive at Sanori Village before noon later.”

“Alright, let's go.”

They set out on their own horses, at first Reibert's army of knights shocked when Valencia took Black with him. They knew that Black was difficult to tame, and many people were even injured after trying to tame Black. However, they saw something different, where Black looked spoiled when with Valencia.

After passing through the jungle surrounded journey, they finally arrived before noon in Sanori Village. However, they discover an unpleasant incident that is Count Trano who is hurting the residents of Sanori Village. Count Terano's party forced the residents to leave Sanori Village immediately. However, the atmosphere changed when Count Tero was discovered by Reibert. The expression on his face became ridiculous, who would have thought that the honorable palace knight commander could come to Sanori Village.

“Count Terano, it seems you have crossed the line,” Valencia said down from the horse.

All the villagers who saw Valencia immediately felt relief, they believed Valencia because yesterday the girl had helped them out of the crisis. Count Terano felt familiar with the face of Valencia, he also realized that the girl was Valencia Allerick who was being talked about now.

“Jeez, look who I see now. Why would the Miss of the Grand Duke Allerick residence be in a place like this? A noble Miss should have stayed silent in the room only. Are you here to be a hero of the village's savior?”

Valencia grinning. “Hei, old bangka.” Count Terano was offended by Valencia's call. “You've smelled of earth, why have you never regained consciousness? I just happen to want to help them. Please self-awareness, you're a real shame,” circus Valencia.

Count Terano was silent and angrily restrained to Valencia, he felt a big change in Valencia. The girl who was now standing before his eyes was not a girl who was easily oppressed but rather a girl who had the equivalent strength of a man.

“Count Terano, the palace has heard all your deeds and I am here to be assigned to clean up you. If you are still evasive and rebellious, then never blame me for being rude to you,” press Reibert seriously.

Count Terano took three steps back, he was completely surrounded and had no way to escape. Count Terano knew how strong Reibert was that he would not be able to overcome Reibert even if he brought a hundred knights with him.

“Why did the knight commander interfere in my affairs?! I only intend to set up a casino in this place then why is the problem getting wider like this? Just have these commoners move out of Sanori Village! After all this is my territory.” Count Tero raised his voice, he only found a dead end.

“Who said you only set up casinos? Don't lie! Didn't you know that you intended to sell young girls to nobles?! You even sold underage girls. Moreover, you are corruption of the territory funds that the Emperor handed down, you are using seventy percent of those funds for your own pleasure!”
