The Return of the Mad Witch
I'm sorry, Bell

Valencia was stunned when a palace fashion designer suddenly came to his residence. Plus there are some Henzo subordinates who carry a chest of gold coins along with luxury jewelry. And also they brought some sets of clothes that are so beautiful from the famous boutique in Alegra.

One residence was made excited by this, they gathered to witness the surprise of Henzo for Valencia in front of the pavilion courtyard. They wondered who sent so much money, jewelry, and clothes to Valencia.

"Is this sent directly by the Archduke Calestine?" ask Valencia.

"Right, Miss, he asked us to deliver this to you. He said it as a gift because you once saved him."

The servants and knights who put their ears around there were immediately shocked instead of playing. They did not mishear, what they heard was indeed the name of Archduke Calestine.

"Who is this guy then?" Valencia's question was turned to a forty-year-old woman who was standing before him.

"I'm sorry about that, miss. I'm Mayerlin, the palace fashion designer. I came here on orders from the Archduke Calestine. He asked me to make a dress for you."

There was no one who did not know the name Mayerlin in this empire. Mayerlin is a palace fashion designer who is famous for her ever-shining dress designs. All this time he only worked for the imperial family. However, specifically today he is working to fulfill Henzo's orders.

All the servants and knights at that time were immediately shocked to hear the name Mayerlin. They do not believe what they see. Too many surprising things are coming to Valencia now.

"Make a dress for me? But, why? I don't need a dress or anything" Valencia wondered.

"This is also part of the gift for you. Archduke Calestine gave me orders to make a dress for you made from the clothing material he ordered in the Ergis Empire" Mayerlin said.

"Isn't that too much for me? Just feed me saj—"

"No, Miss! I'll create the most beautiful dress for you. It's even more beautiful than the dresses in this empire" Mayerlin said.

Valencia let out a long sigh, he couldn't resist anything Mayerlin said.

"All right, no problem. Now let's go into my room."

Mayerlin went into Valencia's room, he looked surprised to see the condition of the Valencia residence that looks deserted and uninhabited. Plus the atmosphere of the room space of Valencia was far at the room level of a high-level noble girl.

'Grand Duke Allerick is outrageous, he treats his biological daughter lower than his own adopted daughter. I will report this later to the Emperor and the Empress, Mayerlin's inner being was very upset and angry.

Mayerlin measured Valencia's body, he was amazed by the girl's ideal body. Rarely do women have body size like Valencia.

After everything was finished, Mayerlin resigned. She returned to her residence and immediately worked on a dress for Valencia. Meanwhile, Valencia continued to tidy up the items he would bring to the academy dormitory.

Currently in the afterlife, more precisely in the castle of Davey's residence, Sean is having a one-on-one meeting with Davey. The two of them conversed in a room that no one would pass through. Their conversation was filled with seriousness, the surrounding atmosphere felt sad as well as choked.

Davey was sitting opposite Sean, his face looking paler than usual. Watching Davey's condition like this brings deep concern in Sean's heart. However, Sean tries to be ordinary because Davey does not like to be worried by someone.

"How's Klarybell doing? Is she okay?" ask Davey while sipping the tea served by the waiter.

Davey realized that Sean was actually also very tired of watching Valencia all this time, but he had no choice but to do so.

"I'm sorry for involving you with someone you hate."

Davey said an apology to Sean. This made Sean stunned, he did not even expect an apology from Davey.

"No, Your Grace. You don't have to apologize, I have absolutely no objection to carrying out Klarybell's surveillance duties. Although I hate it, but I never blame you for what happened to me" Sean said.

"I still have to apologize to you, no matter how much I take responsibility for what happened to you in the past. Klarybell, that girl she didn't mean to make you suffer. You have to start understanding him up close, he's had enough of living a hellish life all along."

Davey smiled faintly, the atmosphere around them was so quiet. Just this time Sean witnessed a smile carving that stored thousands of grief behind Davey's calm for thousands of years.

"I'm trying to make sense of it, but Your Majesty, why don't you tell Klarybell everything? I mean, maybe the situation would be different if you told him."

Davey paused for a moment before finally making a sound again.

"Nothing will change even if I tell him." Davey only answered briefly.

"But at least he'll have a little respect for you, let alone Klarybell with his moor robbing in your treasure vault. That girl is really very brash" Sean said.

"It doesn't matter because the treasure was his from the beginning. I was just helping to keep him, but who would have thought that he donated the money to the temple."

Sean buzzed. "Huh? The treasure is his? What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Davey seemed reluctant to give an explanation, there was a special reason why he could not explain it to Sean.

"Later you'll find out for yourself, besides, I've hidden my treasure shed the best I can and Klarybell won't be able to break through my treasure vault."

Sean patted his head slowly, he did not understand what Davey said at all. Then a split second after that, Davey suddenly had a nosebleed and a bloody cough.

'uh? Blood?' Davey was shocked to see blood filling his palms. Then his gaze slowly shrouded around a black shadow. His body fell down, his consciousness almost completely taken from him.

Sean was shocked to see Davey fall. "Your Majesty! His Majesty fell! The waiter! The waiter!" He immediately shouted for the servants to help bring Davey into the room.

Amidst his consciousness reaching the threshold, came the image of a beautiful black-winged girl. The girl who smiled gently at him with pink eyes was like a newly blooming cherry blossom. Davey felt the girl's soft touch in his palm.

'Bell, I've kept my word, haven't I? A promise I made thousands of years ago to you. I'm sorry, Bell, I'm sorry for bringing you into a world of pain.'

Meanwhile, while Davey was being handled by a number of his subordinates, Valencia who was quietly reading the book felt a strange feeling piercing his premonition. Valencia flinched and his mind went straight to Davey.

'What is this? My feeling suddenly got worse. What happened to Davey?' inner Valencia set his gaze above the night sky.
