In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

61 For Her

The seriousness on Xavier’s face made the crown prince a bit surprised. He maintained his calm exterior and leaned into his seat. “F*ck! I almost got fooled by it, a good one, Xave.”

“I am being serious, Just! Don’t you think we are also the bad guys here? Don’t you think she was also the victim?” Xavier’s words are embedded directly into Justice’s mind.

“You’re absolutely right, such a high-level spell, it would be impossible for her to create, not to mention...” He remembered how distraught the poor girl was when they came into her and tried to be intimate or be inside her safe cocoon of trust. They were pushy, and he realized everything, “We were also at fault here, no... All of us were the victims.”

Looking at how Justice finally makes sense of his words, Xavier feels content to give him more of his opinion. “Right? So please, let her know. I hate to see her in the dark like this.”

“Alright, as soon as Vale and Henry are back from Gaftan, let us tell Anne, everything,” Said Justice while smiling at Xavier, his expression then changed into a frown, “For now, we need to focus on getting our hands on the arcana tome.”

“Yes, you’re right, did chief Rody tell you that we need to bring a librarian with us?”

“Ugh, he did. Something about wanting to give the junior librarian a new skill,” Justice replied at Xavier’s, while a wince came into his face, remembering the awkward conversation with the chief librarian earlier.

“Skill? He seems very attached to his junior librarian, a bit more caring than usual if I may say so.” Said Xavier while calling for the waiters for another drink.

“Well, the junior librarian is his true son, after all.” Justice gave Xavier the reason, which made the two of us laugh, thinking how different the two of them were. Chief Rody with his calm and collected demeanor, with Andy was full of a nervous wreck.

.....

“Poor lad, he almost passed out when his father informed him that he needed to go to a haunted cemetery for a book.” Chuckles Xavier, remembering his encounter with the father and son duo.

“He is a good father, though, a bit doting, especially when you have almost a dozen sons.” A warm smile came onto Justice’s face. “He is Leon’s best friend, so I know every son that he has with his wife and another two husbands of hers.”

“No wonder you put your trust in him.”

“Yeah... especially after Javier’s f*cking declaration of love towards that merchant’s daughter.” Gruntled Justice, his mind was everywhere after last night’s dinner with his family.

Xavier took a glance at his best friend. He knows Justice loves his brothers, and already felt something bad about Amelia, the merchant’s daughter. Her failed attempt to seduce Justice, and how she quickly swiftly turned her attention to Javier. Justice knew all along about Amelia’s target, the empress’s seat, the seat that would vie for all the women in the Valorian kingdom.

“Are you okay with it? I mean, I know she is repulsive, but having her close to Javier will become a much bigger problem later on.”

Taking a long sigh, Justice wore his coat and stepped outside the bar. “There’s nothing I can do, Javier is very much in love with her. Anyway, let’s talk later. I need to wait for Kirara to return from Gaftan.”

“Alright, I have to go back to the east forest as well. My subordinates are probably crying by now...” Suddenly, Xavier remembers something important. He grabs Justice, and asked him, “Wait, where is Anne? I’m going to visit her.”

A bit overwhelmed by Xavier’s obsession, Justice gave him a glare, “Do you have to go? She is fine, her friends are there, also there are guards protecting her. You being there will become a new fuel for those haters and bullies.”

“I will go... Whether you tell me.” A determination from Xavier’s eyes gave Justice a second thought.

“Fine, but you will come with me, that way, they will think that you’re just been there because of me,” He gave up and shook his head, Xavier’s obsession seems grew at a fast pace these days, “Meet me at the main hospital, tomorrow at one o’clock.”

“Alright, thanks Just, see you tomorrow.”

They separated outside the bar. Justice took a turn back to the palace, while Xavier goes to the east gate, maintaining the east forest, one of his duty as the huntsman. The palace is still full of activity. The servants sometimes work until late at night maintaining the palace. Justice walks to his room while giving praises to all the workers. He may be a cold prince based on his everyday expression, but he is also the most compassionate of the three princes.

“You’re coming home late, again?”

Justice turns around to see Javier leaning on the wall with his hands on his chest, smiling at Justice.

“You’re not sleeping yet? Assuming Amelia stays the night.” Justice gave him a crude remark about how unconventional Amelia and Javier’s relationship is.

“She’s not here, already gone home. I was so fed up with her sometimes.” Said Javier, while holding the back of his neck.

Seeing how tired Javier was, Justice assumed Amelia was desperately clingy and demanding. That’s Amelia. She is one of the most beautiful girls in the kingdom, with golden hair and icy blue eyes to match. Everyone was mesmerized by her for some time. Justice, at one time, also got ensnared by her beauty. He was thankful for his three friends, especially Henry’s shocking revelation about her bad habits, also her sneaky intention to become the empress.

“Brother, do you really love her?” Asked Justice suddenly to Javier. He admitted he was curious about Javier’s feelings towards Amelia.

Javier brushed his hair and smirked at his brother. “If I told you that I am, would you believe me?” He laughed, shook his head, and said goodnight to Justice.

The next day, When noon finally came, Xavier already waiting for Justice, before the clock tower even chimed at one o’clock. The crown prince chuckled when he saw Xavier bring something unusual in his hand.

“Why in God you brought flowers with you?” Justice was amused by how awkwardly Xavier right now, a huge man with scruffy hair, brought flowers and a basket of what he assumed was freshly baked food.

Xavier glared at him. “None of your business! Can we just...” He gruntled while rustling his scruffy hair “Come on, I want to meet her already.”

“Follow me. She’s in the infirmary on the third floor.” Said Justice. His amusement lingered whenever he saw Xavier with the flowers and basket of food.

They arrived on the third floor. When Xavier saw the room where Anne resided, he scoffed and took glanced at Justice.

“You b*stard, you gave her your private room?” Xavier gritted his teeth. He pointed at the insignia with Justice’s initial on the door.

Smiling sweetly at Xavier, he said to him, “she deserved the best.” While his hand knocked on the door.

Rolling his eyes, Xavier then followed Justice into the inside of the room, Anne was lying on the bed, with David and Darla sitting beside her on the chairs, when her eyes saw Justice and Xavier, she immediately gets up from her comfortable position.

“Your majesty, Xavier, I wasn’t aware that you were coming today?” Asked Anne with a flustered look on her face.

“Yes, I do apologize. This man here insisted on seeing you.” Justice gave her an answer while giving a slight nudge to Xavier.

Xavier glanced at her hand. The healers told them before they go inside that she got her homemade remedy of painkillers, and that she will take a rest at home by tomorrow. He could see that her face already had some color, unlike the pale face he saw yesterday.

Smiling at her, Xavier goes to Anne and gave her the flowers that he brought. “Hey, how are you?”

A pleasant feeling came into Anne, “Oh, what a beautiful flower bouquet, thank you, Xavier,” She said thank you and gave the flowers to Darla, “Please asked one of the healers to lend us a vase, beautiful flowers like this should be on a display here.”

“Let me go with you.” David also excused himself, and the two of them goes away to give the three of them some privacy.

Xavier and Justice get comfortable on the chairs when Anne noticed a basket in Xavier’s other hand.

“Oh, what else did you bring?”

Grinning from ear to ear, Xavier raised the basket and said, “I bought pie, from the famous bakery outskirt of the capital.”

There’s a glimmer of excitement on Anne’s face. She squealed at the basket in Xavier’s hand, “Oh, wonderful, let us eat it together!”

A slight smile came onto Justice’s face. He loved to see her smiling and getting excited about a small thing. When he became so enamored with a person the last time, he forgot. He embraced the joy that he has. Being bound by a spell is not a curse for him anymore.

The three of them enjoyed the Moomilk Cream pie together. It was a delicious pie, and when the two of them engaged in a conversation, Anne got lulled by the breeze from the window. She closes her eyes to take a short rest. She couldn’t remember the exact time when she awaken from her quick nap, it seems Justice and Xavier were standing in front of her bed, talking about something.

She looks into Xavier who had a grim expression, speaking to Justice, who had a similar expression.

“I just hope after we get the arcana tome, we could explain to Anne about the Bewitched spell that the four of us got from her.”

Feeling aghast, she nervously asked the two of them, “What?! what did I do to the four of you?”

Justice and Xavier turn around to see Anne looking at them.
