In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

205 Prince Javier’s fate (Part 3)

“Wait, so Arthur went away from us because you order him to spy on your friend? That was… Why, his Majesty?” Xavier couldn’t believe what he just heard. King Edward put no faith in his own friend.

Edward took a deep breath before he inform the other, “Actually, my friend, Albert, is not what it seems, he… He was different since he lost his wife, not to mention he was dotting his daughter too much.”

Vale was curious and asked him, “What about lord Darren doting on his daughter that was scary, I mean, he probably just love her so much.”

“That’s the point, Vale!” Edward claps his hand and finally revealed something that he never had done before, “He… had an ulterior motive, I thought he was purely helping me out of our friendship, but last night, after I was talking with miss Anne, he came to my room and asked me, no, begging me to betrothed Justice to Aliena.”

“What?! We know about Aliena smitten with Justice, but asking to be betrothed after just a day of meeting the man?! Amazed by his story, Xavier was chuckling, but he stop when he saw Henry from afar. “What’s the matter with you?”

Henry looks at Xavier and said, “Actually, I know about Aliena, she… She was obsessed with Justice since the palace ball.”

“And you just tell us, now?!” Shouted Xavier, Vale even need to hit his head for once, he didn’t want to awaken Anne and Justice.

“Justice never thought that this obsession will become deadly?! Even I never predicted this.” Said Henry, he sigh and drop himself onto the chair. “He told me about some mail and even a trap of a love potion in one of the mail. It never worked though… because...”

“He was under the influence of the bewitched spell at that time.” Muttered Vale.

.....

“What a sick woman!” Said Xavier while he bites on his nails.

Arthur cleared his throat. “Not just that. Apparently, they were in preparation to go somewhere. They’re closing their townhouse.”

King Edward hit the table out of nowhere. Even Xavier never expected it from him. “My Gods! Albert, what have you become? All of this just for your lovesick daughter?”

“His majesty, please calm down, we don’t know the whole story yet.” Said Arthur to king Edward. He also took glanced at Vale, trying to get help to calm the king.

Vale nodded his head. “Yes, he was right, his Majesty. We can’t apprehend them right now. We need to know the motive and every accomplishment that they may have first.”

“Both of you were right. We need to know the one who cooperates with them. But, we know this for sure. This family is the one who funded the extremist group.” Said king Edward with gritted teeth, “He is the most wealthy lord on this island. He could easily fund the whole island if he wanted to.”

“But, all of this just to kill Justice? Really?” Henry doubted this, although accepted lord Darren’s involvement with the extremist.

Vale tells King Edward, “Something doesn’t add up, but what exactly? I don’t know.” He stood up from his chair and excused himself. “I’m going to look into Justice and Anne, his majesty. Please go and take some rest. We have a long day.”

“What about my son?” He asked Vale. He looks exhausted. There was already a black circle in his eyes.

“Let us look after him. He is our best friend. I will let nothing happen to him.” Xavier tried to convince the king. After all, he was telling the truth, and he would guard his best friend against anything that could happen.

Finally giving in, king Edward took the other empty bedroom and took some rest. Vale, Henry, Xavier, and Arthur were staying in the room and discussing the rotation.

“I’ll take the first shift.” Said, Arthur.

“I’ll go with you.” Said Henry to him, a smile appearing on his face, “I am sorry, I still couldn’t trust you.”

Arthur took a deep breath and whispered, “None was taken, *sshole!”

Vale and Xavier smile, looking at the two of them and went out to guard the perimeter of this empty house.

“What are you going to do?” Asked Xavier to Vale.

“Going to look after Anne. What are you going to do?” Asked Vale back to him.

Xavier looked around the room and finally pointed at the room where Justice recuperated. “I’ll be sleeping in Justice’s room.”

“Alright, I’ll be sleeping in here then.” Said Vale to him. Both were already exhausted, and they just wanted to take some rest before their shift.

Three hours later, during the dawn break, Xavier heard someone entering Justice’s room. He pretended to sleep for a while, and he turned to see Anne holding a knife beside Justice. “Anne, what are you doing?”

“I… I was checking on my equipment and all, that’s all.” She told Xavier and carefully put the knife on the bedside table again. She also put some medicine and a glass vial in there with the knife. “Please never touch this medicine. I need to know the order of everything.”

Xavier just nodded his head, still a bit curious to see her here in the middle of the night, not to mention holding a knife. “Alright, I won’t. You need to take some more rest, Anne. He will be fine.”

At first, she stopped and went quiet, and then she smile at Xavier, “Hey, I was a bit hungry. Want to accompany me to eat? I mean, you will only go for like half an hour.”

He sighed and stand up from the makeshift bed. “Come on, we have bread and moomilk in the kitchen.”

Anne was eating slowly, while Xavier looks at her. There are no words, only a moment that they share together. “Anne, I need to ask you. Do you really mean it when you said you care for all of us? I mean, the four of us?”

Anne almost choke on her moomilk, but a smile came from her face, “I do, and I am sorry that I don’t say it soon enough….” Anne went quiet and then said, “Xavier, I need to ask you something…”

A sound came from outside of the house. Xavier and Anne stood up immediately. They rushed into Justice’s room and saw the window was already broken. Xavier tried to climb the window, but Anne held him down.

“No! There’s glass everywhere in the window… Besides, you can catch whoever they are.”

Xavier desperately looked from the window, and saw Arthur and Henry fighting a group of people, he grab Anne’s shoulder and asked her to stay inside with Justice, “I’m going to ask Vale to stay with the two of you.”

Anne turns her head to the window and the bedside table. One item was missing, and she tried to hide a smile from Xavier, “Don’t worry, I’ll be here with Justice.”
