In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

174 The revenge of the fallen (part 3)

“What do you mean she is ready to confess?”

Vale was sitting on the bed, with his hand folded on his chest, looking so annoyed at Xander. The young man came unexpectedly and with a very excited tone waking him up, although he was content w the way Xander could persuade the young woman.

“Well, just like what I said, she will confess and tell us about her associates, so come on!” He was too excited even to be polite. Vale just smirked and shook his head.

“Alright, let me wash my face, and I’ll join you with the guard on duty. We. We need to record her statement.” He asked Xander and slowly ushered him out of the room.

Ten minutes later, Vale was sitting on the benches in front of Rosy’s cell with the guard on duty. He let Xander be the interrogator. The young man seems too eager, and Vale doesn’t even go to steal his thunder over his success to persuade Rosy.

Looking nervously at Vale, Xander cleared his throat and begin to questioning Rosy in a politely manner as possible. “Uhm right, miss Rosy, would you tell us your story about this family of yours?”

Rosy looked around, she was still nervous around Vale, but thankfully because of Xander, she get braver than before, “The Bacardy was my family from my father’s side, when I was just three years old, they were already a fallen noble that lives in a small house at the rural village.” She told them her story while she reminisced about her childhood, even though reminiscing wasn’t a proper word for it. “They gave me to a rich farmer family as their adopted daughter, not because they wanted me to have a good life, they… they have an arrangement, if I become the rich farmer’s daughter, twenty percent of their supplies will go to my family.”

Xander and Vale look at each other. They. They were thinking the farmer probably was involved, after all. “I hope Justice can apprehend them in time.” Muttered Vale. He. He was already developing a headache already.

Xander’s shrugged, “One can hope.” He turns his attention back to Rosy. “What supplies that your original family would get?”

.....

“Mostly food, but sometimes medicine and herbs.” Answered Rosy.

“Herbs? What kind of herbs?” Vale was suddenly interested in the mention of herbs.

Rosy, who couldn’t even stand to look into Vale, gave her an answer by staring at the ground. “The herbs, sir, were all kinds of plants from medicinal, or the most dangerous kind, mean, even the poisonous one.”

“Poisonous plant? What are they for?” Asked Vale again.

“Honestly sir, I don’t know, but I do know that my original family hired an uncertified alchemist, the alchemist that suddenly became a long-lost family.” Said Rosy with a bittered smile on her face, “The fallen noble, the word that my family forlorn, you see, they… they thought that the demise of their great name was not because of their wrongdoing, but it was all the royalty’s fault.”

“Royalty? So, this was revenge? The attack was for revenge on the royalty?” This time it was Xander who asked her.

Vale raised his hand to stop Xander from more unwanted speculation, “No, You’re wrong Xander, the attack was something else,” Xander turned his head to Vale, while the primary captain pointed at Rosy, “Am I right, miss Rosy? You informed your immediate family at the capital hoping for them to intercept the group, and while they’re slaughtering those innocent people, you, go around the capital to erase your existence, hoping that run away from all of this crime that your immediate family has done.”

Rosy suddenly burst into tears. She. She was wailing and her hands grab into the cell bars, eyes bewildered to Vale, “Yes! I run from the encampment, wishing that this will be over after I told them about the group and that I will come back to the capital! I was so miserable and don’t want to be involved with them, but as the only daughter amongst five siblings, and to be bound by the so-called duty of the Bacardy family!” She was crying while her body drop into the ground. Xander tried to help her, but Vale asked him not to help, as for her not yet done with her story. “You know, I asked them not to kill the group, just to capture them and keep them somewhere… They… They killed them, and I will regret my decision for as long as I lived.”

Vale, stands up from his seat and walked closer to Rosy, “Although, you’re to be blamed for your wrong decision, miss Rosy, there’s always a way to repent, tell us, did all of your immediate family equally to be blamed for this revenge plot?” He carefully asked Rosy. This time was full of commitment to help her. He felt her tears were genuine and anyone could see how miserable she was right now.

Rosy nodded her head and sniffled. She told Vale about her entire family, “Yes, my… mother and my three fathers, along with my four brothers.”

“I see, then we must capture them at once.” Vale gave an order to one guard, who immediately walk away to carry out Vale’s order. Xander asked for permission to join the guards, but Vale stopped him to go. “No, stay here with us. I need to ask something to miss Rosy.”

Puzzled by Vale’s suggestions, the only thing that Xander can do was to accept it. He. He sat beside the guard who write the confession, while Vale begins to question Rosy once more.

“Miss Rosy, as you always talk about your family’s plan for revenge, it kept me thinking, what kind of plan that would be suited for the misery of the family that gave yours shamed and banishment from society.” Said Vale to Rosy, he was leaning on the wall, he frowning, and suddenly asked Rosy, “The elaborate plan where some of the citizens of this kingdom need to be suffered as well, am I right?”

Looking so horrified at Vale, Rosy realized he knew about the whole plan of her family, the plan that her mother and her sibling concocted for such a long time, even surpassing her birth. Nothing is coming from her mouth. She. She was trembling and dropped to the ground with her hands still holding tightly into the bars.

“Wait, what are you talking about, primary captain Vale?” Xander was curious. He still needed to process the words that came from Vale’s mouth.

Vale turns his head to Xander, “This false new variant of moskeet fever, it was all the Bacardy family’s plan.”

The thunder rumbling, a sign of a storm coming, another fact of this wicked family plan has been revealed.
