In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

187 The rescue team (Part 1)

Chief Hale stands up from his seat and talks to all of them. “Listen up! King Edward, Crown Prince Justice, and their company went into the search for the missing prince Javier.” He looks around and begins to speak again, “Three days ago, they finally have some breakthrough and planned to set home to take an army and set up provisions… However, another letter came not long after, they couldn’t reach home and tell us to be prepared for an attack.”

“What?! So they were held captive?! In some unknown area?!” Henry was furious. He sat anxiously, giving Anne time to put her hand on his thigh, enough to make him calm.

“It’s alright, Henry, calm down, we know nothing yet.” Said Anne to the manic knight captain.

Arthur saw the two of them, and a flash of jealousy came into his eyes. Xavier even smirked at him, while he approached Anne by putting his shoulder close enough to hers. In one month, these two always tried so hard to vie for Anne’s attention, something that Anne was fed up with.

Chief Hale continued on, “I have already spoken to the empress. The gate is already being strengthened, and we called all the best guards and knights to go into the capital.”

“Then what about us? I am sure you are not calling us just to inform us about this.” Nathan leans on the bookcase, looking directly at chief Hale.

Chief Hale nods his head, “Yes, As for the part of my conversation with Empress Liberty, she decided to make a rescue team, knights, Magi, Huntsman, and the healer’s group, and this time she requested to put magic knight as well.”

“Oh, fancy, I thought magic knights always work alone?” This time, it was Leo who spoke. People tend to not like the magic knight, hence because they are powerful and rare. Not to mention they have double the salary than the other jobs.

Arthur turn his attention to Leo, and a smile appeared on his face, “Oh, don’t worry, magic knight also has some hobby to talking with other people. We are not just some lonely creature.”

.....

Anne snorted, while Leo was disgusted by his remark, chief Hale shakes his head and begin to hand the paper to everyone, “This is your letter of order directly from the empress herself, keep that so you could go into every inn and store, free of charge.”

Reading the letter of order, Anne saw the stamp and the sign from the Empress in golden ink. She put the paper carefully in her pocket. Arthur stared at her and she could feel the heat coming from him. She tried so hard not to look at him directly.

“Captain Brom, Captain Henry, Captain Xavier, and Captain Arthur, I’m afraid you must go alone without your subordinates, and for Senior healer Nathan, you can only bring your junior second rank with you, which are miss Anne and mister Leo.” Chief Hale talks to all of them and then pointed at the moonsun dial, “I give all of you two hours to pack and gather at the southern gate, there will be further instruction there, I bid you all good luck.”

They left chief Hale as soon as possible. Xavier and Henry hold Anne’s hands, preventing her from walking away.

“We will pick you up in one hour, alright?” Henry kind of ordered him, and with how he delivered his words, there will be no questions asked.

Anne took a glance at Leo, who was now running away from the complication, and just gave her a wish of good luck. “Fine! I’ll be waiting.” Said Anne with a sigh.

The two gentlemen, satisfied with her answer, finally let her go and walk away to pack their belonging. Arthur, who saw everything, approached her afterward.

“Aren’t you tired of how they were treating you?” Arthur asked her, he seems upset to see Henry and Xavier were forcing something on Anne.

Anne took a glance at him and almost says that he was also doing the same thing to her, but she prefer to make it a civil approach. “They just thought it was the best for me, that was all. Now, please excuse me, Arthur, we need to pack.”

She left him in the hall, alone with his own thoughts. Anne just couldn’t deal with all of them right now, and at least she will have an hour to deal with them once more. She went back to her staff room first and saw Nathan talking with her teammates.

“Ah, there you are. I want you to take these lists to the supply room, and afterward, go straight to the barracks and pack.” Nathan gave her the list, as his face began to gloom. “Another… danger, when this is going to be over, I mean…”

She knows what Nathan is trying to say. He was tired of all of this fighting. Anne rubbed his back, supporting his senior. She knows the feeling all too well.

“I’ll be going then, senior, let us meet up at the gate.”

Nathan nodded his head. “I’ll come home. When I finished gave them the new shift list.”

After she handed the list to the supply room, Anne need to wait for another half an hour for all the items on the list, she gruntled but what she can do; they need the supplies to take on the journey.

“Oh, miss Anne, fancy meeting you here?”

Anne turn her head and saw miss Della, walking towards her with a cane. She smiled at her. Miss Della was already released after she took a test to see what kind of items or food she was allergic to. Anne saw the cane and asked her.

“Oh, this is a new walking stick. I remember the one that you have before, the red oak. Am I right?”

Miss Della sighed. “I’m afraid I can’t use it anymore, dear. Turns out I was allergic to red oak.”

“Oh, I’m sorry, miss Della. I knew how much you like the cane.” Said Anne with a sad face.

“Oh, no worries dear, It is fascinating to see that I have these allergies though.”

Anne smiled at her once again. “There’s even a plant that almost everyone is allergic to, so you never know.”

Miss Della giggled at her. In Anne’s eyes, she really is such a nice elder lady. “That was fascinating. I was learning so much from you. Oh, I must go now. Let us meet sometime, alright.”

They parted ways, and after half an hour, Anne could finally pack her clothes. One hour later, Xavier and Henry were already waiting in the lounge area. They looked at her with such annoyance.

“We have told you in one hour. What took you so long?” Gruntled Henry, but he took her luggage, anyway.

“Well, I am sorry. I need to restock for the journey!” She actually doesn’t feel sorry about it, and Xavier knew. He gave her a smile while he shakes his head in disbelief.

“Come on then, we have a long journey ahead of us.” Said Xavier to her while he open the carriage door for her.

The new journey begins this time. Will it be as hard as the previous one or maybe more than that?
