In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

96 The villainess in the making

When Anne looks at Justice and Vale in the lounge room, she felt a burden just lifted from her body. The two of them, even though still have some tension with each other, talked calmly on the sofa. She took a glance at the aggrus decanter on the table and suspected half of the job came from the almost empty decanter.

Justice and Vale saw her. They asked her to come and sit with them. Anne knew what had happened.

“So, when are we leaving?” Anne asked the question as soon as she sat on the sofa.

“Well, clever girl, you have it all figured out.” Justice gave her a smirk while his body lay on the sofa.

Anne rolled her eyes. “Of course, I know. As soon as Xavier’s subordinate said that he went missing... We need to go.”

“We will don’t worry.” Smiling at Anne, Vale tried to calm her.

Henry and Junjin arrived, and they talk about their journey tomorrow.

“So, where exactly is the location?” Anne looks at Junjin, asking him every detail of the case.

Junjin open the map sheet, and showed them the location in it, “It was in the south, there’s a town called Wolgala, and...”

.....

Henry cut Junjin’s immediately, “Wait, did you say, Wolgala?”

“Yes, do you know about the place?” Asked Junjin, a bit taken aback.

“Of course, Wolgala is Xavier’s hometown.” Said Henry, he look at Justice and Vale. “Don’t tell me the two of you forgot about this already?”

Vale shook his head. “No, I remember. Well, he wasn’t very fond of it, though.”

“Yes, you’re right. I remember this, Wolgala. The town on the south was the town where Xavier register himself.” Said Justice, while thinking hard about any other details.

“One of the largest towns in the south, also with a dense forest on right and left.” Henry added to him, “Remember when he said that the orphanage had like fifty children with one orphanage matron?”

Anne couldn’t believe what she just heard. “Excuse me, one orphanage mother? That was impossible. The orphanage in my village has like twelve kids and they have two orphanage matrons.”

That much is the truth. Anne sometimes does volunteer at the orphanage where the orphanage matron, as the caretaker of the orphans, needs help to take care of their welfare and health.

Taking care of a dozen children was already hard for two people, imagined handling fifty.

There was a gloomy atmosphere surrounding Justice. “We already handled the case for such a long time, sadly. The town isn’t the one that loves to share information.”

“Yes, I gathered as much,” Said Junjin, agreeing with Justice wholeheartedly, “Although I was curious why the captain never revealed that Wolgala was his hometown.”

Henry chuckles at Junjin, “Well, do you think you would be so proud to have Wolgala as your hometown? I don’t think so.”

“Fair point.” Junjin grinned and immediately agreed with Henry’s opinion about Wolgala town.

“Alright, so tomorrow, after I have my conversation with my brother, we will immediately go to Wolgala town,” Justice tells everyone when suddenly he feels the urge coming.

A grunt came from Justice, he cover his face while his body shook. Everyone got alerted immediately. Anne and Henry took him away as soon as possible. They pulled Justice to his room and close the door right away. Junjin was shocked. He doesn’t know about Justice’s infectious disease.

“What? What’s just happened? Is the crown prince alright?” Asked Junjin, with confusion on his face.

“He is fine, don’t worry,” Vale tried to make some excuses, he saw the opportunity when he remembered about Junjin’s friend’s invention, “Oh, Junjin, I remembered about Kino’s new invention, the long-distance two-way mirror version, right?”

“Yes, he was so proud of it.” Junjin’s face was lit. He was indeed so proud of his friend, “Although he was trying to find people to test the item before it goes to the patent department.”

“Then, he finds the people now,” Said Vale with a grin on his face. “Let’s go to his floor. I wanted to see this new invention.”

Vale practically dragged Junjin away. He was, of course, trying to make Junjin away from Justice as much as possible. The more time Junjin got on the same floor as Justice, the more curious he become, besides Vale was genuinely curious about the new version of the two-way mirror. Henry hear them descending the stairs, while Anne tried to calm Justice.

“How is he?” Asked Henry. He turned his face and looked at Justice.

“Not good.” Anne doesn’t want to sugarcoat anything. She could see how Justice was struggling. “He needs the blood now.”

Contrary to his red ruby eyes, Justice’s eyes changed color to a black color, two fangs elongated from his teeth. He grunted and groan while tightly embracing Anne in his arms. His eyes glared at Henry, possibly because of how possessive he was right now toward Anne. Henry tried to calm him down.

“Justice, I am here just to take care of Anne, alright? Don’t worry, I am not going to fight you, so go ahead, do what you going to do.” Said Henry to the possessive Justice. Anne was nervous. She was trembling while she offer him her hand. Henry locked his eyes with her, trying so hard to calm her down, “Don’t worry Anne, I am here. Take a deep breath, alright?”

Nodding her head, Anne braced herself. The sharp fangs go deep into her hand. She cried and even screamed, but her eyes keep focusing on Henry. He smiled and praised her all the way when Justice was enjoying her blood. Little by little his consciousness was back, and after a while, he blinked rapidly and the red ruby eyes appeared.

Justice look around and saw Henry in the middle of holding Anne’s hand. He saw blood dripping from the hand, “Oh my Gods! Anne, did I?”

“It’s okay, the bite wasn’t deep. Don’t worry.” Said Anne, trying to be convincing as she can be to Justice.

“Anne, where’s your medicine bag?” Henry asked Anne while his hand still put some pressure on her hand.

“It was in my bedroom, let’s go there,” Anne stands up from the bed, but her face keeps looking at justice, “Are you... are you alright now?”

Justice nodded his head, but his face was never looking at Anne of Henry. “Yeah, I’m good now. Don’t worry about me. Worry about yourself.”

“I will, I’ll go now, alright?” Anne still managed to care for Justice. Somehow Henry was a bit annoyed by how caring she was towards the one who feasted on her blood earlier.

When they reached Anne’s room, Henry looks at her and sounding his frustration towards her.

“You know, as silly as it may sound, I couldn’t believe you have a time to worry about him.” Said Henry with gritted teeth.

Anne gave him a bitter smile and begin to care for her bite wound. The wound was severe; it was torn because of how carelessly Justice gorged on her blood. Henry felt hurt just by looking at Anne’s wound. He held her hand and clean the blood. There were no words that come from his mouth, only silence between them.

After the wound got bandaged, Anne took Henry’s hand and smiled, “Thank you, Henry, you’ve calmed me down back then. I was so grateful you were there for me.”

“You know I will be always there for you, right?” Said Henry to her, he looks at her and bite her lips, “Anne, I was so sorry about earlier, I don’t know it hurts me so much to see you on that condition, not to mention you made the time to ask for... for that person condition?!”

Anne felt another trouble is brewing, she doesn’t know if it was because of the bewitched spell or something else, she will never allow this kind of animosity, and it was all because of her. Anne took a sighed and gave him a calm smile.

“Henry... listen to me... I was getting hurt by Justice, yes, but it wasn’t his fault, he was sick and I was volunteering to become the blood source,” She brushed Henry’s back to calm him down, “I need to ask Justice because I don’t want his bloodlust got into the other, I need to see if the bloodlust was satiated for now. Not because I was caring for him more, it is because I saw my duty as the healer.”

“I... I know, I was just... When I saw him bite and gorged you like an animal... No wonder Vale got so mad at him.” Henry clasped his hand. There was fury in his eyes.

“Then I don’t want you to accompany me next time.”

Henry turns his focus. She really took him by surprise. “But Anne, why?”

“Because if you all going to make Justice a villain over something that he couldn’t control, just because of how you took pity on me, I don’t want it,” Anne glared at him, she was really upset, she don’t want her to become the object that brings a separation into their unity, she hates that, “I don’t want to become something that separated you from your best friends!”

Henry tried to calm himself while Anne gave him a warm embrace. They stay for a while until she was sure Henry was calm enough. One of her biggest fear came true, she becomes a villain for the four of them, the woman that could become a thorn in their relationship.

Anne needs to do something.
