In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

180 Dear brother (part 1)

When Xavier heard a scream coming from Vale’s bedroom, he rushed into the room but the door shut closed right in front of him; He punch the door several times while calling Anne’s name.

“Anne! Oh my God! Are you safe?!” He desperately called for her, and this time he tried to pry in by slamming his body to the door, “Anne! Did you hear me?! Talk to me?!”

When there was no response from the other side of the door, Xavier transform himself into his wolf form. He was clawing and gnawing the door, reducing it into a pile of wood. When he was finally able to go inside, he saw Anne in the bed embracing Vale.

Wolf Xavier growled menacingly towards Vale, but Anne immediately stop him.

“No… No, Xavier! It’s fine. Vale just needs me here by his side. It’s alright.” Said Anne while she was brushing Vale’s back and keeping the man close in her tight embrace. Wolf Xavier doesn’t stop growling and snapping at Vale, “Please, Xavier, I’ve already had enough,” Anne pointed at Vale who got possessive at her, “I can’t handle you… You like that, so please, stop.” Either jealousy or possessiveness, Anne just couldn’t fathom saying the word.

After a while, Xavier transformed back. He leans into the wall while his breathing begins to pace up. “Are you alright?” He asked our heroine, who was still trapped on the bed with Vale tightly embracing her body.

Anne gasped for a moment when the werewolf doesn’t realize his own condition. She closed her eyes and said, “I’m fine, but please put on some clothes, you… You’re naked right now.”

“What?!” He was so confused until he look at his torn clothes outside, he awkwardly tried to cover his under area with his hand, “Oh, so sorry about that, I… I just get something on Vale’s wardrobe then.”

“Yes, just be quick, I will cover my eyes until you… You’re fully clothes.” She talked to him, even though she was already looking at his fully naked body earlier, and somehow Anne couldn’t erase the image of the young man only wearing his birthday suit.

.....

After excruciating minutes, Xavier put on some pants and said to Anne that he will be sitting outside. “I will not take another risk. He put a spell on the door to prevent me from entering his room earlier. So, just called me if you need me, alright?”

“Yes, I will. Don’t worry, he was calm for now.” Whispered Anne to Xavier.

Xavier left the two of them alone, knowing full well that Vale will never do something unforgivable to Anne. He goes to the kitchen and calls for one of his familiars.

“Ageha, are you there?”

A beautiful butterfly emerges from inside Xavier’s shadow.

‘Yes, master.’

“I want you to go and find Justice and Henry, and informed them about Vale’s condition,” Xavier spoke to Ageha while roaming around the pantry, he wanted to cook something for the three of them, thinking that Vale will eventually back on his right mind and released Anne.

Inside the bedroom, Anne whispered to Vale, while her hand steadily brushing his back. “It is fine, Vale, Xavier’s gone now. Let me go. I will not go anywhere.”

The man never replied. He was trembling and shaking, Anne heard sniffles, and not long after Vale begin to cry. Anne tried to calm him by whispering some sweet words to him. One hour went by until the magi spoke to Anne.

“Oh, Anne, it was horrible, I… If only I wasn’t so stubborn and just captured them right away.” Seems like he is still full of regrets about chief Carla’s incident, his voice was coarse but he insisted to speak to her, Vale needs this, and Anne knew about this. “I kept seeing the image of the carriage on my mind, when I was casting whirlwind and when the carriage… Flew to the pavement… Oh the horror, the screamed!”

“Oh Vale, how miserable are you right now, I am so sorry.” She really feels sorry for him. Anne already knew the whole story, that Vale was in a difficult position of saving two young girls from the path of the carriage. “Look, I will be here with you. I’m not going anywhere, alright?”

She accompany the wounded Vale, even whispered occasionally to him, until his tired body finally gave in. Anne left him in his bedroom after tucking him under the blanket. She caressed his face and even gave him a kiss on his cheek. When she goes outside of the room, Justice and Henry were in the living room with Xavier sitting on the window. Somehow, looking at the three of them made her feel a bit better.

“How is he?” Asked Justice. They came to his barrack as soon as Ageha informed them about Vale.

Anne sat on the dining chair and gave a sigh. “He was crumbling, but at least now he was sleeping.”

“Really? You gave him a sleeping drought?” Said Henry innocently at Anne.

Glaring at the knight captain, Anne gave him some sassy come back, “Yes, like that is the only thing that healers do, chugging people with medicine.” Justice and Xavier snorted after hearing the words. Anne spare the knight when she shook her head and tell him that Vale was sleeping on his own. “He is probably so tired that he can’t even feel anything after a while.”

Justice approached her and held onto her shoulder. “Thank you, Anne. We really appreciate what you had been doing for him.”

“There’s no need. You know very well I will do as best as I could for all of you.” She smiled at all of them.

Her words gave them a warm and fuzzy feeling. Even Henry tried to cover his face to hide a smile that appeared on his broody face. Xavier just turns his attention to the outside and grinning from ear to ear, Justice looks at the two of his friends and notices that they wouldn’t even look at Anne. He takes his chance and gave Anne a quick kiss on her lips.

“Thank you. I know I could always count on you.” Whispered Justice after his lip brushes into hers.

Anne’s face was turning into all shades of red. She excused herself into the bathroom while covering her face. Justice took a glance, and a naughty smirked was plastered on his face. Xavier, on the other hand, saw something from afar, a familiar that flew into the window. He caught the bird and put it inside.

“Justice, it was your brother’s familiar.” Called Xavier the crown prince.

Justice looked at the dying bird and recognize it as Javier’s familiar. “Castor?! What happened to you?”

‘Your majesty, help… Your brother…’

Before another word could come from the poor mangled bird, he died on Justice’s hand. The dreaded feeling immediately came to him. Something horrible was happening to his brother.
