In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

190 For the information to be secret

“Tell me, what exactly happened on that island? What happened to the two of them?”

Anne was surprised by this and still needs to process this new information. Henry and Xavier shared glances. They never tried to keep this secret from her, especially if it’s involving the four of them. Xavier cleared his throat and volunteered to be the one who tells her everything.

“Justice was, in fact, sending a letter to his mother, empress Liberty, but he also sent us Kirara. As you already know, using familiar is faster than using the mail.” He stopped for a moment to look at Anne’s reaction after she convinced him to continue, he spoke once again, “Justice told us that he was in fact hiding with Vale in a remote area on the island, king Edward and Xander were also with them, sadly they lost all the guards.”

“Wait, so even though they weren’t captured, they were still in grave danger, then?” Said Anne, she looks at the two of them with a horrified expression. “Should we tell the others? I mean, we need all the help that we can get, right?”

“No, I don’t think it’s a good idea for now.” Xavier tried to warn Anne, “Remember, we know nothing about this extremist group, and we never knew if one of them, excluding Brom, is part of this extremist group?”

“Xavier’s right, the only one we can trust beside us here is Brom,” Henry told Anne, while he pour water from a drinking glass. As usual, he was still agitated about going to sleep, and the recurring nightmare was always there, haunting him whenever he tried to relax.

Anne could see how tired he is, she hold into his hand and whispered, “Would you like me to be here until you sleep?”

He looks at her with bewilderment, “Would you… Would you do that for me?”

Anne smiles and nods her head. “Of course, if I could help, of course, I will do that.”

.....

Xavier rustled his hair. “Well, it means I will sleep in the upper bunk bed now.”

Half an hour passed by, Henry unexpectedly sleeping soundly, with Anne by his side, her hand sometimes brushing into his forehead whenever he winced and groaned in his sleep. Finally, an hour later, after she is convinced Henry will get some decent sleep, Anne goes back to her own room and gets some sleep as well.

She woke up when the blared sound of the ship’s horn came inside the room.

“Hey, good morning sleepy head.” Leo was smiling at Anne. He was in the middle of enjoying his caftea with a book in his hand while he sat on the chair.

“What time is it?” Asked Anne. She felt a little dizzy, she thought, maybe from the lack of sleep.

“It’s late, people already ate breakfast and waiting for lunch, so you probably could have some brunch if you go to the kitchen right now.” Leo looks at her with some annoyance on his face, he prayed that Anne would accept his offer for her to take some brunch.

“I guess, you’re right, I am starving right now.” Muttered Anne.

He looks at her and approaches her immediately, “Wait, let me look at you.” Leo begins to check on her face, “Hmm… Anemic, your face is so pale. Did you sleep in late hour last night?”

“I… Uhm… I guess I was too invested in reading the new herbs dictionary, kind of forget the time.” Said Anne nervously at Leo.

Leo squinted his eyes at his friends, suspicious of his friend. “Right… so, reading, huh?”

Anne rolled her eyes. “Oh, just shut up, Leo. Let me take a shower first and we can go to the kitchen together.”

“Fine! I’ll be waiting in the kitchen, ordering some food for both of us, alright?!” Shouted Leo at Anne who is already going to the public bathroom outside the room.

She took a turn left and suddenly collided with the hard body of someone.

“Anne, we should stop seeing each other like this.”

She looks up and saw Arthur grinning at her. Anne just couldn’t handle him at the moment.

“Arthur, fancy meeting you here.” Said Anne when he helped her stand up.

He looks at her and once again the admiration expression was there, “Yeah, just took my shower. I didn’t see you at breakfast, though?”

“Yeah… Just get up, so will you excuse me? I need to get my shower now.” She tried to get away from Arthur, but, stubbornly, he held onto her arms.

“Wait, Anne, I need to ask you something. It was about last night… I… I am sorry. I didn’t mean to mock everyone, especially you.”

Letting out a sigh, Anne smile at him. “Look, we do know that magic knights have all the perks that other jobs couldn’t even dream of. I understand that, truly, but you need to understand our situation as well.”

“Yes, I guess all the magic knights need to have a hard lesson about how privileged we are and tried to be respectful towards the other jobs,” Arthur said to Anne in an apologetic manner.

Anne nods her head, and for a moment they just stood looking at each other, until she cleared her throat and excused herself. Arthur finally realized and let her go inside the bathroom. Her body brushed into his. She tried so hard not to mind it.

Anne refreshed herself and go to the kitchen where Leo was already waiting for her. Henry and Brom were also there at another table. She sat on the chair and begin to gulp the soup and the salad. Leo even gave her a plate of moobull steak.

“Leo, this is still in daylight!” She glared at her best friend when she saw the moobull steak.

Leo was looking around the room and then whispered at her, “You need more protein, or should I shove the Avopar leaves into your throat? The one before we brew it for twenty hours.”

“Oh, no, you won’t!” Said Anne with squinted eyes towards Leo.

“Then, eat your steak.” Said Leo with the same intensity.

She finally gave in to her friend’s request. When she was in the middle of eating the steak, Arthur came into the kitchen and approached her immediately. There’s tension on his face, and the first word that came from his mouth almost chokes Anne.

“Anne, what are you doing inside captain Henry and captain Xavier’s bedroom last night at late hours?”

Anne looks so horrified, she turns her attention to Arthur. This time, she doesn’t know what to say to the young magic knight captain.
