In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

221 Promises for their beloved

Anne saw them walking away from the door. She knew that Henry was finally talking to Heirim. The girl herself came to the clinic and gratefully thanked her. She really hopes this time Heirim could change her way.

“Hey, I need to go somewhere. I’ll be right back.” She asked for permission from one of her colleagues.

Anne went into the canteen and asked for a pitcher of aggrus. She felt like a nosy woman, but she need to know what exactly happened to Heirim. Anne walked into the hall, and before she open the door of the war room, someone was yelling from the room inside.

She heard everything from the crevice of the slightly open door. Her hand was trembling. She even needs to put the pitcher on the floor. Never in her life had Anne thought about Heirim’s involvement in the false infection. The case was already deemed an unforgivable act by the royal family. The door suddenly opened and Jason came out looking directly at her.

“I… I came to give you all some drinks.” He said meekly at Jason.

Justice rushed into her, and put his hands on her shoulder, “Anne, did you hear everything?”

She looks at Justice and nods her head. “I am sorry, I need to know, and I meant to ask you directly, but…” She apologizes while looking at Jason and Justice back and forth.

“No need to apologize. We are going to tell you everything, otherwise.” Said Justice, smiling at her. He stared at his brother. “Look, both of you need to go inside, brother. Let’s talk about this, together.” Jason took sighed and went inside. Anne take the pitcher of aggrus with her, sending a giggled from Justice, “Are you seriously taking some aggrus here? When we already have more than ten pitchers here?”

Awkwardly, Anne looked around the room. “No wonder the cooks are looking at me in a weird way.” Said Anne with a blushing face while she put the pitcher on the table.

.....

“Don’t worry sweety, I love to drink a cold and fresh aggrus. Nice of you to bring some.” Horden patted her head and pour the drink into his cup.

“Why do you always need to pick on her side?” Henry looks at his grandfather with a disbelief expression.

“Well, why do you care so much? She will soon be my granddaughter-in-law, anyway.” Said Horden to Henry.

Anne just gave the old man a warm embrace. She always feels welcome with Horden, especially after losing her adopted parents two years ago. The four gentlemen looking at the scene unfolded in front of them. They look at each other and, feel proud, their feelings finally reached out to her, no more denial from her end, only acceptance.

“Look, Jason, as much as you wanted to help her, we can’t right now, and she was not in danger right now. Remember, it was a pending investigation, which means we still have time.” Xavier came to Jason. He still couldn’t figure out why the prince was so distressed over Heirim’s matter.

“Don’t worry, Jason, I said I wasn’t going to help her, but it doesn’t mean that I won’t investigate. I owe her that much.” Said Horden to the prince.

Jason gave a smile of relief and nods his head. “I am sorry, Horden, I shouldn’t doubt you.”

“Your emotion got the best of you, brother.” Said Justice, teasing Jason.

“Indeed, gosh, what happened to me.” He said to Justice, while giving a chuckle.

Knowing very well what happened to Jason, Anne went quiet and prefer for him to realize it by himself. The prince has a feeling for Heirim. She doesn’t know when it begins to develop, but the bloom of a new flower came to a realization after how livid he was about Heirim’s situation.

“You knew right away?” Whispered Vale to her. “Well, all of us knew it from long ago. He was in love with her.”

“I am sorry to say this, but falling in love with such a mean girl?” Whispered Anne back to him.

“Well, love is blind sometimes.” Chuckles Vale.

Not long after, some of the generals came inside. Anne knows this is her cue to go away. She said goodbye to all of them and leaves the war room. They agreed to end the conversation about Heirim for now. There is a more pressing matter that needs to have their full attention.

The meeting finally concluded after midnight. They were exhausted and ready to go to bed. Justice massaged his temple and was very exhausted, but he saw a glimpse of purple color from the outside deck. He takes a look and see Anne was looking at the moon.

“Why aren’t you going to sleep? It was late.” He said to her while leaning into the door frame.

She turns around and smiles at him, “The moon, it’s like calling me right now.”

He joins in and put his arm into her body, engulfing her with his warmness. “The moon is indeed beautiful today.” He said to her while looking at the moonlight above.

“Justice, if one day something was happening to me, what are you going to do?” Asked Anne. Her voice was soft and wispy.

He turn his attention to her, “What kind of morbid thought that you had? There’s nothing going to happen to you? We are going to make sure of that.”

She shakes her head and puts her hand to his face. “We never know what kind of consequences we are dealing with here! Anything could happen, and I want you to promise me that the four of you will move on and forget about me!”

“Move on? As In, forget all about you?! Are you insane?!” He put his hand on her shoulder, “I lost you, two years ago, I was angry with myself because I never had the courage to chase over you, all of us were angry with ourselves. Believe me, Anne, we are not going to let those happen again.”

Her tears came running down her face. She doesn’t know how to answer him; she knew for a fact that something will happen to her and to what extent, but she still doesn’t know about it. Justice wipes her tears and kisses her lips. Their kiss was slow and longing, their feelings transcended in the desire that form into the kiss.

Until Justice releases her face and smiles at her, “I don’t know what will happen to us, but I know my feelings for you will never go.” He does something that was so surprising to Anne. Justice bends his knee and present her with a ring, the same ring that she gave to her two years ago for protection. “Anne, will you marry me?” Said the crown prince, in front of his beloved.
