The Return of the Mad Witch
Linnea Neglected

“Oh so apparently, all right. Now let's sit down, you must be very hungry, your aunt deliberately told the palace chef to make you the most delicious food.” Linita took Valencia by the hand and delivered him to the dining table seat adjacent to where Abraham and Linita were sitting.

Valencia smiled cunningly as he glanced at Linnea sharply, the girl was downcast and speechless again. Linnea's existence was not welcome, even Linita and Abraham did not look at her in the slightest.

‘She captured all the attention, the lady jal*ng dominated the attention of the Emperor and Empress. I will not let him take my position, I must stand on a higher place than him,’ Linnea grumbled inwardly.

Throughout the meal, Linita and Abraham talked about many things, Valencia also responded casually. Sometimes Linnea interrupted their conversation, but unfortunately she was not so much cared for by Linita and Abraham.

“Valencia, why don't you just get out of Grand Duke Allerick's mansion? Instead, you can stay here later. There is still an empty palace for you to occupy, besides if you are here you will get more facilities for you to practice. We will also treat you well, you are welcome in this palace.”

Abraham finally expressed his intentions and desires, it can be seen clearly that Abraham and Linita worried about the condition of Valencia if they had to continue living in the residence of Grand Duke Allerick. However, Valencia was not interested in accepting him because when he stayed in the palace then his movements would be limited.

“Sorry, Uncle, I appreciate Uncle's kindness, but I don't want to get out of Grand Duke Allerick's residence. No matter how it is my home, it feels uncomfortable. However, I am used to facing them, if I get out of there it is the same as I avoid problems,” Valencia replied.

The answer Valencia gave was quite acceptable common sense, Abraham and Linita also did not force Valencia to accept his offer. The girl who was now in front of them was apparently the inversely proportional girl he knew back then. Valencia also behaved like a true nobleman, he mastered the etiquette of nobility perfectly. The current form of Valencia illustrates the perfection of a noble in visiting the palace.

“Alright, I appreciate your decision, but if you ever need anything, just tell me right away. You have also been instrumental in saving the lives of the people, do you now want a gift? Let's just say, consider this in return for your involvement in protecting the lives of the people from greedy rulers.”

An opportunity came to Valencia on its own, an opportunity where Valencia had space to express its true desire.

“Uncle, can Uncle allow me to set up a female-only knight group?”

Both of Abraham's eyes widened while listening to Valencia's request, Linita was also no less surprised. They thought Valencia was going to ask for something bigger, apparently he asked permission to establish a group of female knights.

“Women's knights? Are you sure about this? I mean, there will be many nobles who oppose the existence of female knights. As you know, women are never equal to men, that's what everyone on the continent of Solvey,” said Abraham.

“Brother, huh? It was just a trivial matter, I could clear them up easily. No need to worry, you just need to give me permission to establish a group of female knights. I will prove that women can also be like men, so please trust me, Uncle.”

Word by word implied a strong confidence, Abraham and Linita were rendered speechless. Valencia exuded the aura of a true leader, he was undaunted by the nobles who might just head his way.

“Hahaha, you're very interesting! I'll give you permission to set up a group of female knights. Show me later if you can make female knights equal to male knights!” Abraham laughed with satisfaction, finally giving Valencia permission to establish a group of female knights.

“Thank you, Uncle, I will work well and prove that female knights can also dominate men.”

After lunch, Abraham was called back to continue his work, leaving Valencia with Linita. The Empress invited Valencia and Linnea to have tea together while chatting. Actually, he was not willing to bring Linnea, but Valencia asked him to bring Linnea into their casual chat.

“What do you think? Is the palace food very good?” ask Linita.

“Very good! I really like it, can I bring a little food later?”

Linnea prepared to interrupt their chatter. “Gosh, Valencia, why can you ask so impolitely to Her Majesty the Empress? Was Grand Duke Allerick's residence short of food until you asked for palace food to take home?” insinuations Linnea.

“Linnea, what are you saying? I asked to bring the food made by the palace chef because the food was very good. Is there something wrong with that?” bala Valencia's.

“Miss Linnea, it seems like you have never been taught manners, interrupting the Empress's chatter was so disrespectful! Then you're trying to make Valencia look low in my eyes? It seems that the way you prove your own value seems very low.” Linita spoke up, he was firmly defending Valencia.

Valencia wanted to laugh back then, Linnea had not the slightest room to knock herself down in front of Linita. Now the girl was bowed in embarrassment, even the servants started talking about it.

“Please forgive me, Your Majesty,” said Linnea very slowly.

“If it wasn't for Valencia's request, I wouldn't want to let you into this palace,”.

Linita resumed his chat with Valencia, and in the middle of their conversation a waiter came to serve tea to their table. Of course Linnea did not stay silent and took the opportunity to change her image in front of Linita.

“Your Highness, I'm very good at brewing tea, can you allow me to brew tea for you?” Linnea suddenly took the initiative to brew tea for Linita.

“Hah? Brewing tea? No need, this is the job of the waiter, are you probably interested in becoming a waiter in the palace?”

The deg!

Linita's words pierced into the heart, he didn't even glance at the slightest bit of goodwill wrapped in Linnea's rotten plan. Valencia could only smile, he did not need to overdo it to humiliate Linnea as the Empress acted first from him.

“No, Your Honor, that's not what I mean,” said Linnea.

Linita immediately gave the waiter orders to brew tea for them, but unexpectedly, when the waiter was about to step in to brew tea, he said, Linnea purposely straightened one of her legs causing the servant to stumble over Linnea's leg. As a result, warm tea water soaks all Valencia clothes and soaks the lower hair.
