The Return of the Mad Witch
Courthouse

Xeros immediately blocked the steps of the knights who wanted to bring Valencia to justice. The court knight's uniform looks very different from ordinary knights, in their uniforms are inscribed with court emblems. Even their auras also felt far different from the knights Valencia had encountered.

“Taking Valencia to court? Do you have an official warrant from the judge?” xeros asked with a defiant look.

One of them took out a paper roll bearing the court's logo, showing the contents of the letter to Xeros and Valencia. In an instant, the current situation invited the attention of many people. All the academy residents knew what Valencia had done the other day so that it sparked the anger of the judges in the court.

“Once again we reiterate. Miss Valencia Allerick, for what you did a few days ago, the judge called you to the courthouse. Then from it—”

“All right, I understand. Let's go now to the courthouse,” cut Valencia quickly and directly agree to go to court.

Seeing Valencia agree to it without a fight, left everyone astonished. Valencia was a rebellious girl, and she should have rebelled if she was to be brought to justice.

“Wait a minute! You can't go to the subpoena if you don't want to. Don't force yourself, they will definitely corner you there later,” intercept Xeros.

Valencia carved out a faint smile while landing a soft elucidant at the top of Xeros' head.

“You're worried about me? There's no point in worrying about you. I'll be back later, so just prepare a lot of food when I return to the academy. You understand that, sweet guy?”

As soon as Xeros's face turned crimson, his face suddenly became hot from the deadly seduction from Valencia. The girl was unaware that she was teasing a plain man like Xeros.

“B-OK, k-come home safely.” Xeros looked so nervous that he forgot how to speak properly.

Valencia was taken by the knights to the courthouse, he was watched very closely because of the alert Valencia will run away when they are off guard. It would take thirty minutes from the academy to reach the courthouse. They passed through a shortcut that was specifically made to go to the courthouse.

“So, this is the courthouse?”

Valencia stared lazily towards the towering courthouse, the building looks different from the building in general.

“Nona, please enter through this door.” One of the knights opened the door for Valencia to enter the building.

“Your meeting with the judge is held in private, there are only a few people who will meet with you later. So, I hope you don't make a mess when faced with them,” said the knight who led Valencia in.

“Ya, I'll work on.”

Upon the arrival of Valencia in the room intended, his arrival was greeted unfriendly by the people who were there. They were staring wryly at Valencia, it seemed like they were very angry towards the cute girl. However, Valencia ignored their gazes, he wanted to immediately settle the entire affair here then return again to the academy.

“Welcome, Miss Valencia Allerick. I hope your summons to court does not make your activities interrupted,” Billy said – the young judge responsible for taking care of the Valencia issue.

“You are very disturbing, very disturbing,” replied Valencia upset.

Billy and the people in the same room were struck by what Valencia had just said.

“Then, please forgive me for interfering with your activities in the academy.” Billy smiled covering up his annoyance towards the fifteen year old girl.

“You must pay for my time that has been wasted. You pay me with cake from the bougainvillea store,” pinta Valencia is so over.

Billy did not expect that the girl who was rumored lately was very crazy and annoying. In a situation flanked by important people, he was even undaunted to look them in the eye one by one.

“I don't care.”

Without orders from anyone, Valencia immediately sat himself on an empty seat that was specially prepared for guests. Billy is still trying to be calm, even though in his heart is now burning with emotion.

“Alright, it's up to you. Now I will explain the reason why you were called to penga—”

“Enough! I already know the reason. You don't have to explain it anymore,” between Valencia cut out Billy's words quickly.

Billy let out a long sigh, in front of him Valencia openly showed dislike. The girl sat down with her legs crossed, her back leaned, and her gaze seemed haughty. There is no one who is not upset because of Valencia's behavior that is out of bounds.

“Nona, I think you should pay attention to your current nature. You are in a courthouse, where everyone has to be respectful of the law. I'm sure Duchess Allerick once taught you about manners. But what the fuck is this? You are like someone who never got an etiquette education.”

Valencia grinned, already he expected to get such a response from Billy. Now with eyes fixed on him, Valencia began to feel uncomfortable because of the anger he was holding.

“You're chatty once. Can't we start now? I am busy, there is no time for me to serve humans like you,” cynical Valencia.

Billy's colleagues sitting next to him try to calm Billy because they are still in the middle of a room filled with many elected nobles who are directly involved with the court.

“Nona, you have made a fatal mistake, brutally injured the Head of the Academy and you almost lost his life. This is an act of attempted murder, you should know that you are violating the laws of humanity. Punishing criminals is our business to the officers of the court. You have no right to interfere with the punishment of the perpetrator.”

“If so, what punishment does the Head of Academy deserve for the crimes he has committed?” valencia looked seriously.

Billy did not answer immediately, he thought first and weighed the punishment Joseth, the Head of the Academy deserved.

“Life imprisonment and also a fine of some money,” Billy replied.

“Are you sure?”

Valencia looks doubtful Billy's answer, the sharp glare of his net makes Billy nervous instantly.

“Of course I'm sure, it's an appropriate law for the Head of Academy.”

Valencia chuckled, they were underestimating the little girl they brought today to the room.

“You are really good at lying. Do you think I don't know? Once people start forgetting the crime, then you will definitely release the perpetrator. You've always been like that against nobles who commit crimes. What kind of law is that? You are firm against ordinary people, but soft on high-level nobles. You trash hiding in the name of justice!”

The wrath of Valencia ignited the anger of those who were in the same space as him. Now that they set their sights on Valencia, the girl was instantly considered a legal rebel.

“Please pay attention to your words! The law is not something you can take for granted! We as court officers uphold justice against victims of crime—”

“Don't feel stained for my words! Reality always comes from the observers of the law. Although I am still fifteen years old, but I have seen the entirety of the laws in this empire. The high-ranking nobles roamed around committing crimes, while the common people languished in prison.

How many ordinary people have you killed and you are locked up behind the walls of the court prison?! I can hear it clearly, hundreds of cries of the tormented people under this room.”
