The Return of the Mad Witch
Ivanov Come to the Palace

Abraham and Linita were silent for a split second before they finally opened their voices again. They still did not expect there to be this kind of thing in the world they lived in, moreover the Solvey continent did not have the ability like the Mihovil continent that was endowed with magic. For a moment they wondered again, was the ability of Valencia purely obtained from the realm of death? Was Valencia truly endowed with the unexpected power of his death incident? Then did Valencia come back to life to avenge his previous death? Such questions filled their heads.

“Your Highness, sorry to interrupt your conversation. But, pastor Ivanov came to meet you.”

A knight suddenly entered Abraham's room, telling him that Ivanov was intending to meet Abraham. Hearing Ivanov's name, the tension of the atmosphere in this room changed instantly.

“Alright, send him in,” Abraham said.

Ivanov entered the room of Abraham, his arrival was quite surprising because Ivanov had never visited the palace again for the past four years. Reibert also seems to recognize Ivanov. As Ivanov stood before them, Abraham and Linita looked overjoyed at Ivanov's arrival.

“Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress.” Ivanov bowed his body to greet the ruler of the Alegra Empire.

“Ivanov, what made you come to the palace? Are you here to say something so important?” ask Abraham.

Ivanov finished his greetings, he raised his head and looked straight at Abraham. The reason he came here was Valencia, he couldn't possibly keep a big secret alone about Valencia that he had previously met.

“Your Majesty, there is something I would like to talk about Miss Valencia. But, can you get all the knights and servants outside first? This conversation will sound very sensitive.” Ivanov sounded so serious that Abraham inevitably had to remove the servants and knights from his room.

Now that only Abraham, Linita, and Reibert remain in the room, they are the ones who deserve to know the secrets of Valencia.

“Say, Ivanov! What do you want to talk about Valencia?”

Ivanov took a deep breath and slowly threw it away before starting his serious conversation.

“A few days ago Miss Valencia visited the temple, she donated two thousand gold coins for the construction of the temple. In fact she also gave five hundred coins to the priests, now the name Miss Valencia is known as the biggest contributor in the temple. But that's not what I want to talk about. You know, and maybe everyone on this continent knows that no ordinary person knows the great name of the god of peace other than the temple. However, Miss Valencia knew it, she knew the great name of the god of peace!”

“What do you mean?”

Ivanov sharpened his view. “Nona Valencia confesses that she met the god of peace on the day of her death.”

Silence hit them, the surrounding atmosphere turned tense, for some reason it felt like they had just listened to what they did not need to know. They were suddenly confused as to how to respond. What Ivanov said just now really made their hearts race faster than usual.

“Hey, what are you saying, Ivanov?” Reibert patted Ivanov on the shoulder. “Valencia have met the god of peace? Are you sure of that?”

“I did not lie at all, Miss Valencia himself confessed to me that he met the god of peace. Plus I also felt a different aura from Miss Valencia. The aura is like the aura of someone who has experienced death, if others know it then Miss Valencia must be prepared to put herself in the temple as the only creature of choice god of peace,” said Ivanov.

“It answers the question why Valencia could have powers that ordinary humans do not have,” Linita said.

“Strengths that ordinary humans do not possess? What do you mean, Your Majesty?” ask Ivanov.

“Have you heard about what happened in the capital today? The black fog attacked and the fog engulfed everything he passed, from the residential settlements to the people who were in the capital. It was indeed very strange because this was a disaster that we had never overcome before. However, Valencia miraculously managed to handle it,” explained Abraham.

“In addition Valencia also obliterated the fog exit hole using only one arrow only. He seemed to know everything about the fog disaster, Valencia also looks very calm when facing it as if he had been accustomed to being on the battlefield,”, said Reibert.

Surprising enough for Ivanov, he thought Valencia was not that strong. Seeing from the damage received by the capital, Ivanov immediately assumed that the problem that hit the capital was more complicated than just the problem of the appearance of monsters from behind the portal.

“Then what will the temple do? Questions like this you can not carry alone,” asked Linita.

“I will not notify the temple, this is in accordance with the direct request of Miss Valencia. He wanted this to be kept secret, it was a special message from the god of peace for him. It's just that I can't keep this a secret from you, at least you should know about your own nephew.”

“Is that? Maybe in the meantime we should keep it a secret, lest others know about the meeting of Valencia and the god of peace. Enough of us who know and let's close the facts.”

***

A few hours passed after the fog incident, now the entire people of Alegra look much calmer than before. As the capital's damage slowly began to be repaired by the residents, Abraham also deployed a number of professionals to help repair the capital.

Sammy was already starting to get some rest, he used his free time to pay a visit to the Archduke Calestine residence. Sammy plans to report what he got from his investigation about the people who previously attacked the Archduke Calestine.

In the Archduke Calestine residence there were no female servants, there were only male servants. This is because Archduke Calestine considers the woman troublesome, moreover, she is still single so it is likely that the female servant will act presumptuously to tempt her.

“Tumben once you came here to see me.” Henzo's voice came from the direction of the entrance, Henzo's body wrapped in a bathrobe only.

Henzo sat himself on the sofa opposite Sammy, he was very curious why Sammy came to see him.

“Archduke, you just finished shower apparently. I came here because I wanted to give you a report about the people who attacked you earlier. I've got their real identity,” explained Sammy.

Henzo immediately focused on what Sammy said.

“It turns out you work faster than my shadow. So, who are they? Explain to me all about the bajing*n who have dared to disturb my composure.”
