In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

182 Dear brother (Part 3)

Xavier was eyeing the gentleman, who was having a conversation with Anne right now. He was glaring at him like a hawk, even though he was a werewolf. Anne, on the other hand, was happy to see Arthur again. She was excited to talk to him after abruptly separating from the barrack.

“Oh wow, I saw you back then on the barrack and you told me you will be coming here to the capital,” Anne said to him while a smile came right on her face, Xavier hate it.

Arthur reciprocated the smile and even touched Anne’s shoulder even though it was briefly. Xavier had the thought to just transform into his wolf form and mangled on the arm that had touched Anne. He took the initiative to approach Anne and made a fake smile.

“Anne, I never know you have a friend?” Xavier was looking into Arthur from up and down. Arthur also does the same to the man. Somehow they know that they were rivals.

Anne, still gullible about the two of them, just gave them a short introduction, “Yes, this is Arthur, we met at a barrack in a small town when I was in the middle of going back to the capital with Henry and Sir Horden.”

“Oh, you never even mentioned the man? Probably forget about him, huh?” Xavier gave him a sassy remark, and Anne even had any answers, because, in her mind, that was actually the truth. She was forgotten about Arthur completely.

Arthur, don’t even mind it, he smirked at Xavier and said, “Well, it’s alright Anne, I knew that our meeting was brief, but I’m here to stay, so we will have plenty of time to catch up.”

Xavier was so close to grabbing his collar and asking him into a brawl, thankfully Anne sense the tension between the two of them, she grabs into Xavier’s arm and pull him inside the bakery, “Come on Xavier, everyone’s hungry, let’s buy the bread and get back.” She looked at Arthur again and smile, “Nice to meet you, Arthur.”

“Wait, you’re living in the healer’s barrack, am I right?” Asked Arthur before the two of them enter the bakery.

.....

“Yes, of course, but I was busy though… like…”

He was pushing her and seemed doesn’t want to hear any rejection, “Alright, I’ll catch up on you sometimes, see you, Anne.” Arthur walks away while glaring at Xavier, and not surprisingly, Xavier also does the same thing to him.

When they went back from the bakery, Anne told them to wait in the living room while she prepared the sandwich for the three of them. Xavier took the chance to talk about Arthur with Henry. The knight captain was livid and curses a lot.

“So, the t*rd was able to see her, huh? Unbelievable.”

Vale who was still a bit aloof, even a bit curious about the man, “I’ve heard a story about him, some of the new magi even idolize the man, I remember one of them said something about Arthur the hero of the Valorian. After he was defeating that large size monster on the Hoard.”

“What the? He just defeated one monster at the Hoard, and he was the kingdom’s hero now?!” Chuckles Xavier still couldn’t believe the story.

“He was defeating the big monster, alone, Xave, what should not be to believe?” Said Henry, full of sarcasm.

Vale gave them a shrug. “Well, probably the truth, though. The man is a beast and also a magic knight.”

“What is it with those magic knight people? Acting high and mighty all the time makes me sick!” Gruntled Henry.

Vale and Xavier looked at each other. They know the words were not just for Arthur; it was also for Heirim, her younger sister who’s now a captain on her own. Henry and Heirim have a bitter relationship. They never close from the moment Heirim grew into a teenager. She always belittles her brother and never thinks him worthy of Spencer’s name.

“Did you talk to your sister, yet?” Anne asked Henry while her hand was holding into his arm. They were in the middle of eating the sandwich on the dining table.

Henry snorted when Anne asked about Heirim, “No, the last time I had a long conversation with my sister was two years ago when I went on a journey with my grandfather.”

Feeling sorry for him, Anne put her head on his shoulder, and the brooding knight captain has a small smile on his face, he likes the feel of her hair brushing into his skin. Vale and Xavier look at the two of them and only felt the warmness between them. They are beyond jealousy and boundary now, somehow, for the four of them, the young woman becomes something that they can treasure together.

At another time in the palace, Justice went straight into Jason’s study room. His brother was in the middle of having a conversation with one of his staff. They turned his attention to Justice when he open the room door. Jason immediately orders his staff to leave them for a while, and he goes to give his brother a warm embrace.

“Hey, I’ve heard that you’ve already been back. Good work to cover the false disease and the connection with fallen nobles.” Jason said to Justice when they finally settled into the living room.

“Yes…” Justice doesn’t know how to say the words to his older brother until Jason himself saw how pale his brother’s face was.

“Justice, what happened? Why are you looking so pale right now?”

Justice took a glance at his brother while he put the dead body of Castor on the table. Jason jumped from his seat. “Gods! Is that Castor?”

“Yes, he came to me and tell me something about our brother. He flew so hard to get into me, the poor bird.” Muttered Justice, while he brushed softly into the feathers of Castor.

“Justice, what happened to Javier? Tell me!” This time around, Jason was already panicking and demanded an answer from his younger brother.

Suddenly, the door was open and came along Liberty with her three kings. She looks at her two sons, one by one.

“Jason, stop it! Justice doesn’t know the whole story yet.” Said Liberty to her sons.

The two of them turn around to see their mother come inside and put the bird in her embrace. “Thank you, Castor, for everything that you have done.” She cried for the bird that risk his own life to give the crucial information to the royal family.

“Did Castor come to you first, mother?” Asked Justice.

Liberty nods her head, “Yes, he just flew into my room and tell me all about it. I tried to hold him down, but he said that he needs to finish his duty to inform you as well.”

Justice looked at his brother, then asked his mother again, “So, what exactly happened to Javier?”
