The Return of the Mad Witch
The Shadow Witch Group

‘What? He knows I put poison in his drink? Actually, who is he? Why is he that sensitive?’

Inner Dhea hot turbulent, he was not even able to just answer from the allegations made Valencia. Plus Reibert did not hear anything from Valencia, this made Dhea more cornered. Soon he left before Valencia after carrying out his duties.

‘Stupid woman! He thinks I don't know what he's up to? I am already immune to facing a woman like you,’ Inner Valencia smiled obliquely.

Not long ago, Valencia and Reibert suddenly visited by Leano who appeared in the mansion with Sammy. They were both surprised to find Valencia in Reibert's residence. As most people know, Reibert never brought noble women into his residence. This was the first time they had found in a lifetime, moreover the woman was Valencia herself.

“Why can you be here, Valencia?” They both asked the same question to Valencia, who was enjoying the cake served by the waiters.

“Reibert invited me here, he promised to invite me to eat at the mansion because I saved him once. Why did you guys come here yourself? Did Reibert invite you too?” ask Valencia back.

They shake simultaneously. “We are here because there is something to talk about with Reibert,” replied Leano.

The two of them joined sitting at the same table as Valencia and Reibert, it seems their talks were quite serious this time around. Valencia now wants to play the role of a listener, he is also curious what they will discuss.

“What's up? If you're here, that means your topic of conversation is very serious.” Reibert was forced to pause his snacking activity.

“You heard? Archduke Calestine had returned home from conquest and he had brought a chest containing a human head. The palace was probably busy because those heads were the heads of the humans who were planning to kill the Archduke. The emperor ordered some knights to investigate and I was also given the task of directly checking the corpse's head. Then I found something surprising and quite confusing.”

Sammy gave an explanation and took out a piece of paper containing an image like a black star emblem.

“This black star symbol is engraved behind the earlobes of the entire killer, I don't know what this symbol is but I think the killers came from an organization I don't know.”

Looking at the image of the black star symbol, Valencia immediately focused on the symbol. His hand spontaneously snatched his image from Sammy, he carefully observed the star symbol while remembering and ascertaining the symbol. Valencia's expression was extremely serious, he ruffled his memories repeatedly.

‘Not wrong, this is the symbol of the shadow magician organization, but I have eliminated their group. Could it be that there is now a mage from the Mihovil continent other than myself on the Solvey continent? But, this is strange, I have eliminated this group of shadow magicians first and why did they appear again? Are they planning to make a mess on this continent?’

The more he thought, the more absurd things, so seriously Valencia thought, he did not hear the call of the three men who were with him now.

“Valencia!” call them at once by elevating the tone of voice a little.

Valencia was flabbergasted as soon as they called his name, his serious look faded for a moment.

“Do you know this symbol? Why are you reacting like you know something about the black star symbol?” ask Leano.

“I know, I'll show you what this symbol really is. But, before that, is there a book in this mansion that tells about the great wizard Klarybell?”

They don't know what Valencia meant by asking about the book about Klarybell, but they believe there is an explanation for the symbol from the book.

“There, the book is in the mansion library,” replied Reibert.

“Then take me there let me check it myself.”

They rushed to the library of the mansion, where Valencia immediately picked up a book telling him about himself during his time as Klarybell. Valencia turned over one by one the pages of a very thick book. The girl was very impressed with her past self that was well told and the sentences per sentence were neatly arranged. After all, the book was written by himself.

“This is it!” valencian exclaim found a picture of a black star next to the crowded inscription on the page of the book. “This is a symbol of the group of shadow magicians, said in this book the first shadow magicians often make trouble on the continent of Mihovil. However, in the end they were successfully eliminated by Klarybell. It is likely that the people who tried to kill the Archduke were from the shadowy witch group,” Valencia explained.

The young Valencians explanation was understood, but they were still confused as to the reason the group of shadow magicians could be on the Solvey continent.

“Wait first! The group of shadow magicians means they can use magic, if so then it will not be easy for the Archduke Calestine to defeat them,”.

“There is only one possibility, the group of shadow magicians on this continent is dominated by people who come from the Solvey continent. That was the reason why the Archduke Calestine could defeat them. But, I suspect, the leader of this group of shadow magicians is a witch from the continent of Mihovil,” said Valencia surmised.

“You mean, a witch from the continent of Mihovil infiltrated the continent of Solvey? How did that happen? While the condition of the continent Mihovil is very closed after the death of the great wizard Klarybell. Even they do not open sea lanes and envelop around the continent using magic that is difficult to penetrate,” said Leano embraced Sammy and Reibert.

This is what disturbs the mind of Valencia at that time, the security of the Mihovil continent is very tight until it is difficult to penetrate outsiders or ordinary witches. Valencia is trying to make another assumption, just that there are not enough reasonable assumptions.

“This is a complicated discussion, none of us will be able to find the answer. We come from the Solvey continent who do not know how a magic works, but if it is true that their leader is a witch then we will certainly be encrypted later,” said Reibert.

Valencia let out a long sigh, if it was true that a witch was leading the group of shadow magicians then she should help eliminate them before causing even more trouble.

“Later I will try to ask the details to Archduke Calestine, he became the victim of an attack from a group of shadow magicians,” Leano added.

“Hey, what if there is a traitor in the Alegra Empire? A traitor who plans to overthrow the current Emperor. You guys must have noticed it, too, right? I know you're not that stupid until you're not aware of the irregularities that occur. During this time you also tried to deny the allegations because you think that there is no traitor in the prosperous empire like Alegra.”
