The Return of the Mad Witch
Xeros quarrel

Linnea was dragged by Henzo's personal knights from before them. Linnea could not fight back, she was caught up in her own carelessness and stupidity. Valencia carved a mocking smile as he waved at Linnea who was dragged away forcibly to leave.

'My plan failed again. Goddamnit! It's all because of that woman. I won't forgive you, I won't let you just like that, ' Inner Linnea stared at Valencia hatefully.

"Sometimes I will gouge his eyes and make a wall decoration" murmured Valencia.

Henzo's dislike grew even more so when he came face to face with Linnea. Who would have thought that the girl turned out to be more annoying than she had imagined.

"You should just slash his head, why would you let the parasite enjoy its life full of falsehoods?" ask Henzo.

"I deliberately played with him, if I killed him immediately, this game became unpleasant" replied Valencia.

"I'm really disgusted to see a woman like her, I've always found similar creatures. This is the reason why I refused to marry," Henzo grumbled in disdain.

"She does like that, likes to rob others and is often envious of the happiness I get."

That was how their conversation ended, after which Henzo returned to his residence because he had made sure himself that it was true that the incident of chaos in the courthouse was the work of Valencia. At least in this way he can arrange protection for Valencia.

Upon arrival at his residence, Henzo was immediately presented by a sudden report from Arian, the secretary.

"Your Majesty, this is a list of nobles who had a meeting with Prince Rudolf."

Henzo immediately picked up the paper that Arian had proffered. He read one by one the names of the nobles listed on the paper.

"All of them are twenty-seven nobles and some of them are nobles who have a bad reputation, one of them Duke Nerio," explained Arian.

"Duke Nerio isn't the family of the future Valencia fiancee? So, he was also involved with Prince Rudolf? Looks like they're looking to die. Is there anything suspicious they're doing?"

"It's strange, Your Majesty, when I sent spies to investigate, their traces suddenly disappeared. Therefore, I don't know what they're talking about or what they're doing."

"It's strange, since the beginning of this problem appears there is always an awkwardness. The greatest possibility was that there was someone more powerful behind Prince Rudolf. There's no way he's got the strength and guts to bully me" Henzo said.

"I think so too, Your Majesty, but is there anyone more powerful who can support Prince Rudolf?"

Henzo was silent and dissolved in his mind, if he thought about it again then there was no one who could be a supporter of Rudolf. The more he thought about it, the more successive gaffes plagued his life.

"I can't think of who that person is, for a while please resume the investigation. Don't miss a single suspicious move from them" Henzo ordered.

"All right, Your Majesty. I'll do it as you command."

***

After Henzo's return, the atmosphere returned as conducive as ever. Valencia is now off to meet Devina and Rachel. He was quite tired of playing chases with the court knights.

"Actually why are court knights after you? What the hell is going on?"

That's the same question from both of them to Valencia. The girl laughed for a moment at the question.

"You know the answer, I beat up that damn young judge yesterday" Valencia replied.

"It can't be just for that reason that you're being chased by a knight."

"Yes, that's all. Please believe me, I can't lie to you guys" Valencia said.

"All right, I believe you."

Valencia breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Devina immediately trusted him without asking anything strange.

"Oh yeah, have you guys seen Xeros? I didn't find his whereabouts from just now," asked Valencia to circulate his gaze around.

"Xeros? We didn't see it" replied Rachel.

"Is that so? Now that I'm going to go find Xeros, there's something I want to talk to him about."

Valencia went around the academy to meet Xeros. He combed all the way through the academy, but he did not find Xeros anywhere.

"Hey, there's a fight! Let's see quickly!"

"He who quarrels is the face of the monster."

Hearing this, Valencia spurred his step towards a place that was very noisy at the time. Everyone gathered to watch Xeros fight.

"Your face is terrible! And you still expect to get good treatment from others? You're a dream, aren't you?"

A man who was the son of a noble was blatantly harassing Xeros. The corner of his lips was also injured by the blow that Xeros had earlier struck.

"In addition you don't have a last name, you're from a commoner? You're close to Valencia, aren't you? Yeah, you're a perfect match for an uncivilized girl like her."

BUGH!

With passionate emotion, Xeros hit his interlocutor until bounced far back. The mask he used to wear was crushed by the bully. Now everyone could clearly see Xeros face. People's gazes at him looked disgusted and scared, but it was just a regular burn that Valencia considered normal.

"Never try to name Valencia using your filthy mouth!" Xeros wrath.

"Damn you!"

The man got back up from his position, he immediately ran crashing towards Xeros. As powerful as he was trying to retaliate against the blow he got. However, unexpectedly, Xeros moved so much faster than him that he once again obtained a stronger blow from Xeros.

"It doesn't matter if you insult me, but never try to insult Valencia! I'll make you regret it if you dare to do it."

"It seems right, this ugly guy likes Valencia! Haha. I don't think I like a girl who used to be ugly and fat. Although his appearance changed, but I'm sure that his physique will return to normal if he doesn't control his eating."

It was enough for Valencia to be the audience of this commotion. He finally got out of the crowd of students and came to mediate the quarrel.

"It's like you've never been taught to reflect."

The appearance of Valencia changed the atmosphere, the crazy girl who lately became the topic of conversation came carrying a deadly aura. Highlight his eyes directed a murderous gaze towards the man who had been bullying Xeros.

Valencia grabbed the collar of the standard-faced man's shirt, he gripped it so firmly that it made the man's face deathly pale. For some reason, his entire body reacted fearfully to Valencia.

"Hey, brengs*k! Do you think you'll survive after insulting me and Xeros? Watch what you say before I send you hell on the express train of the hereafter."
