The Return of the Mad Witch
Towards the Academy

Valencia never closed his eyes. Drowsiness did not approach him, as if a bad feeling last night was a burden of new thoughts for Valencia. Until now he still thinks hard about the premonition that is only on Davey. However, Valencia tried to get rid of all forms of anxiety in his heart because today he was going to go to the academy dormitory.

'I don't know what's going on Davey, but hopefully nothing bad happens to him, ' Inner Valencia.

Valencia and Davey are a bit strange. However, on the other hand Valencia is not consciously worried about the condition of Davey. Even Valencia prayed that nothing bad happened to Davey.

In between his chaotic feelings, several people from the palace came to the residence of Valencia. They carried a chest containing a blue dress with floral motifs on the bottom of the dress and a beautiful sparkle that made the dress look so perfect.

"What'sthis? Is this the dress that Mayerlin said last night?" ask Valencia.

"Right, Miss, this is a dress made from clothing materials from the Ergis Empire. Mrs Mayerlin worked all night and didn't sleep to finish this dress."

Valencia was amazed by Mayerlin's ability, although done within a few hours, but the dress was done perfectly without any damage in every corner of the dress.

Valencia admitted that the clothing materials Henzo bought in the Ergis Empire were indeed very good. But the most amazing thing here is the way Mayerlin unites her hooks to become a dress with an extraordinary model.

"Is Mayerlin a monster? How could she finish this dress in just one night?" ask Valencia astonishment.

"You need not be surprised, Miss, because Mrs Mayerlin has a very fast hand in making dresses that she likes. Yesterday he was excited when the Archduke Calestine told Lady Mayerlin to make a dress from the clothing material of the Ergis Empire."

"Ah, so? Alright. Thank you for bringing me the dress."

The men retreated and returned to the palace. Meanwhile, outside the entrance apparently there was a subordinate of Adarian who was eavesdropping on Valencia talks. He immediately hurriedly went to report this matter to Adarian.

"What's? Archduke Calestine did it all for Valencia?"

Adarian's expression was not good, he did not think Henzo who was notoriously cold and cruel could be gentle on a fifteen-year-old girl. Even during this time Adarian himself never get a good response from Henzo. However, in contrast to Valencia, his daughter instead obtained far better treatment than he had imagined.

"What's really going on? Why are the two of them so close? Did something happen and I missed it?" muttered Adarian thought hard.

"Perhaps this is because Miss Valencia once saved Archduke Calestine from death threats" Adarian's subordinate told her.

"It can't be just that, '" Adarian argued. "Try now you investigate carefully what kind of relationship Archduke Calestine has with Valencia. I'm sure their relationship isn't that simple" Adarian continued.

"Alright, Your Majesty, I will investigate immediately."

On the other hand on the same day and time in the pavilion of the Linnea residence, it was seen that the girl was enjoying the service of the servants. Linnea was wearing very pretty clothes then her hair was neatly laid out. It was the servants who helped him.

"Miss, you are indeed very beautiful. Your hair is smooth and your skin is soft. I think the First Prince will be interested in your beauty later," the servants flattered.

"really so? I don't feel myself beautiful. I think Valencia is prettier than me" said Linnea, feigning inferiority and rejecting the praise she had been given.

"Yes, we don't deny it. Miss Valencia is prettier, but she's very rude and we're sure there won't be any men interested in her."

Hearing the opinions of the servants, Linnea growled in annoyance in her heart. He does not admit that Valencia is much more perfect than him.

'Hold on, I have to hold back so I don't explode. Anyway we will go to the academy after this, so I can get rid of him later in the academy, Inner Linnea smiled evilly.

After which, a servant came panting into Linnea's room. He brought news of Valencia being given an unexpected gift from Henzo. The servants' expressions were beyond belief, they did not believe Valencia was being treated like Princess Henzo. Linnea's heart grew hotter to hear the news, no matter how he tried to bring Valencia down, the girl always found another fortune so Valencia moved further in front of him.

'Damn it! His life was completely surrounded by luck. How did he get to know the Archduke Calestine? I can't let it. I must seize all that girl's property, ' grumbled Linnea.

***

Valencia have prepared everything he needs for the academy, his luggage was stored in his magic room so he did not need to transport large bags as he left for the academy on Black's ride. As is known, Adarian did not give permission for him to ride a horse carriage.

Valencia did not care at all about what Adarian did, as long as it did not disturb the continuity of his calm, he would also just quietly observe from afar. Even today Adarian and Endry were blatantly showing off their affection for Linnea. They delivered Linnea to the horse carriage and gave Linnea a large pocket money.

“Already, let's go, Black. There's no point in us lingering here,” Valencia said telling Black to immediately spur a step and leave the Grand Duke Allerick residence.

Along the way, there was no serenity that colored Valencia's steps, every path he walked was always watched by the spies of Rudolf's emissaries. However, Valencia was still able to handle it without having to smear his hands with blood.

‘It seems Rudolf is starting to suspect me, he put spies all the way. Maybe he thought he could watch over me freely, but you underestimated me too much, Rudolf!’

Then on the way to the middle of the forest, Valencia found a horse carriage bearing the imperial palace stalled because it was blocked by a herd of wild beasts. However, the savage beast was not an ordinary beast but rather a ferocious beast that had been contaminated with magic so as to make the ferocious beast even stronger than before.

The palace knights seemed overwhelmed by the beast, they were assigned specifically to escort Devina – Princess Alegra or rather the only biological daughter of Abraham and Linita.

“Keep you out of there! Let me take care of that beast!” exciting Valencia.

The knights were immediately relieved to see the arrival of Valencia, without lingering they immediately pulled over and opened the way for Valencia. The girl pulled out her sword, she lunged into the middle of the herd of ferocious beasts. It only took a number of attacks, Valencia managed to wipe out all the ferocious beasts.

‘They went crazy because of the magic that stained their consciousness. The assassins had various means to kill the descendants of the Emperor and Empress.’

Valencia leaped down from Black's back, he approached the exhausted looking knights.

“Did anyone get hurt between you?” ask Valencia.

“No, Miss. Thank goodness you are here, otherwise we might have died in the hands of the beast. Thank you, Miss,” they said.

“No problem, I just happened to pass by. So, who are you guys guarding in this horse carriage?” Valencia still did not know that there was Devina in his carriage.

“We escort Princess Devina to the academy. He also entered the same academy as you.”

Valencia glanced towards the window of the horse carriage, as if Devina was hiding from him. Valencia's sharp gaze made Devina's heart almost dislodged because of her so strong gurgle.

“He looked here, Valencia saw me. What am I supposed to do? He's so cool. True to what Mother told me, Valencia changed drastically and now she is close to me,” muttered Devina.

The girl who was very similar to Linita began to admire Valencia since Valencia's reputation as a tough woman soared in the middle of the wider community. He secretly followed every news that preached Valencia. As a woman who aspires to be Emperor, the figure of Valencia became a figure that he wanted to be a role model among the minds of people who consider women unworthy of being a leader.

“Mr Princess, what are you doing? Why are you hiding? Whereas before I saw you also swing a sword at a wild beast that confronted just now.”

Devina was shocked to see Valencia reprimanding her inside the carriage, she could barely control her own expression.

“Ah, that ... I was just trying to protect myself,” us Devina smiled stiffly.

“So apparently, but now they've killed me. You can get out because it looks like your horse carriage is badly damaged.”

“Good.”

Devina got off the horse carriage, just as it was rumored, Devina was dressed like a man. She never wore a dress because her position as the Princess was always humbled by others, so she decided to wear male clothes.

“The horse carriage is badly damaged, we will not be able to deliver the Princess in time to the academy. What should we do?” The knights were confused, they did not find the right solution to the problem.

“How about you hand over the Princess to me? I'll give the Princess permission to ride a horse with me. Do you guys mind?”

Valencia kindly offered to take Devina with him to the academy. The look on the faces of the knights instantly changed.

“Will it not trouble you, Miss?” devina asked unkindly.

“No, precisely I will gladly give you a ride.”

In the end, inevitably Devina had to accept it, she climbed on the same horse as Valencia. They headed to the academy together using maximum speed.
