145 The east forest mission (Part 2)

Inside a tent in the guard’s encampment, there was a man walking around anxiously until a guard came to his tent.

“Your majesty, we heard from the second tower, there are troops that came our way.” Said the guard to Justice.

“Are you sure? Tell me more!” Justice was hopeful he put on his face mask and get out of his tent. He could see there was so much desperation in the guards’ eyes. He was so hopeless, and feel guilty, thinking that Bernard was in pain right now.

The guard was in a hurry to take him to the second gate. “Right here, your majesty, they will arrive soon.”

They were waiting for the arrival of the troops. For Justice, it seems like forever, until he heard the sound of galloping horses and the creaking sound of the carriage. They were finally here, and Justice couldn’t even contain the smile that came into his face. Vale and Henry get out of the carriage and walk into the crown prince immediately.

“Vale and… Henry?! it’s good to see you two!” He gave them a warm embrace. Until his eyes caught a glimpse of someone other than the two of them, a woman, beautiful woman with purple color hair, her long hair gracefully frame her body perfectly even though she was wearing the healer’s coat.

Before Anne could turn to her right and see Justice, Leo patted her shoulder and makes her focus on him instead. They talked for a while and then went in the opposite direction. Justice couldn’t take his eyes off her.

“She… she becomes more beautiful than before. How is it possible?” Muttered Justice with full adoration towards Anne.

Vale patted his back and took a deep breath. “I know what you’re feeling right now. Come on, let her do what she does best.”

.....

“You’re right. Let’s go back to my tent. There will be plenty of room there.” He said to Vale and Henry, his eyes never looking away until Anne disappeared into one of the tents.

Took a glance at Vale. Henry raised his hand and walk away. “You guys can go ahead. I need to have a briefing with the knight, if…”

“Someone tried to run away!”

The three of them heard a scream come from one of the guard’s tents. Henry, Vale, and Justice run into the source of the fight. They saw three people struggling to hold on to a man and a woman wearing a guard uniform. The girl desperately tried to escape. Vale cast a prison bubble spell and trapped the two runners.

“Please, let me go! I wasn’t sick! I just wanted to go home!” The girl was practically wailing right now.

“I see that the situation is already being controlled,” Said Henry while he look at the two runners inside the prison bubble. “I’ll go now. There is so much that I need to do.”

He walks away from the others, not even trying to offer any help furthermore. Justice looks at his best friend with a frown on his face. He turns to Vale for some explanation.

“I’ll tell you everything at the tent. For now, let me ask Brom and his subordinates to take care of the runners.” Said Vale to the crown prince.

There’s nothing Justice can do besides nodding his head to Vale. “Alright, I will wait for you at my tent. Be careful and wear a mask all the time.”

They separated afterward, Justice walking away back to his tent, while Vale called for Brom, the captain, to put the runner into confinement. The magi will build a safe confinement for every runner, the ones that were trying to escape from the solitary encampment. Brom came with his disinterested attitude as usual and goes to Vale directly.

“You call for me, primary captain?” He spoke to Vale, who was in the middle of looking at a wooden bangle in his hand.

Brom saw the bangle and knew the previous owner of the item. “You bring the bangle here? Why?”

“Brom, next time, tried not to look into other people’s business?” Said Vale with annoyance in his tone. He put the bangle back into his pocket.

Shrugging at his primary captain, Brom then asked him once again, “So, what do you need from me, primary captain?”

Taking a deep breath, Vale pointed at the two runners inside her bubble prison. “You need to handle the runners and make sure they couldn’t escape from the encampment.”

After another instruction for Brom, Vale goes to justice’s tent where the crown prince was already waiting with food and drinks. Vale gratefully took the plate of food and begin to eat it.

“I already suspected that all of you never took a rest on the way here.” Justice smile at his friend who still munching the food. He took a glass of water and waited for Vale to finish the food first. “Now, would you please tell me why the two of you have bruises all over your face? And not to mention the foul attitude that was coming from Henry?!”

“We had a fight at the pub.” Muttered Vale, in his mind. He just wanted to forget the whole ordeal with Henry.

Stunned by Vale’s confession, Justice tried to ask her about the matter between them. “What happened? What makes you fight with each other?”

“He mentioned the girl.” Said a voice from the front door of the tent. Both Justice and Vale turned and saw Henry enter the tent. He sits opposite Vale and gorges the food and drinks. “I was starving, forgot to bring any light meal for the journey.”

Justice stared at him. He wonders how much of the old Henry was left, his smile gone and just a glint of light in his blue eyes. His platinum blonde hair has left unkempt and long, his eyes were puffy with a black circle, the sign of a person who hardly sleeps every day.

Glancing at Justice, Henry asked his friend with a smirk on his face, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

A sympathy came into Justice, something just happened to him that day, two years ago, “Henry, what happened to you?” ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

“A lot has to happen, and that’s the only thing that you need to know.” Henry basically deflected Justice’s question and he refused to talk about it.

Justice and Vale share a look. They couldn’t do anything about it if Henry didn’t even want to share what was troubling him. Meanwhile, Anne and her fellow teammates busily treated the suspected patients, including Bernard.

The old guard looked at Anne and smiled, even though with a rough breathing, “Oh, Miss Anne… Nice… To meet… You… Again… You’re becoming more… Beautiful.”

“Oh, save your breath, sir Bernard, take a good rest for now, alright?” She skillfully put the medicine-soaked cloth to his eyes and gave him a soft voice. “Now, took some rest, do not think about anything, and just sleep.”

Nathan called for her. She came outside the healer’s tent and saw Leo and the others gathering. “It seems we have a positive case here. Leo and Anne, you will have the first shift, and the others go take some rest for now. I will schedule the shift tomorrow after the regional healers come.”

The regional healers are certified healers that failed to enter the hospital inside the capital, they were put into clinics and small hospitals in every town and village from around the kingdom. The request for more healers prompts the nearest town and village to send one of their healers to help the encampment.

“How many regional healers that will come to help us?” Asked Leo to Nathan.

“Not much, only five, but what else can we do.” Nathan said to Leo, he was already so tired although get a six-hour sleep inside the carriage, he stands up and looks at Leo and Anne, “They will come before midnight, so the two of you need to give them instructions and also to show them our tent.”

Leo and Anne nodded their head, and after the others go away to get some rest, they begin their grueling twelve-hour shift. Before midnight come, they were so exhausted and need to get a rest, Anne was in the middle of checking a pulse and the breathing of one patient when Leo patted her from behind.

“Anne, they were here, the regional healers.” Whispered Leo, they don’t want to disturb any patients.

“Alright, let’s go and meet with them,” Anne said to Leo, and together they go outside the tent.

The night was dark, only the floating orbs that gave them some kind of light. When Anne saw every healer, one particular healer, catch her attention, she gasped and pointed at the healer. “You… What are you doing here?”

The healer smirked and cursed, “Can’t believe this, you’re now a capital healer?! The world really does some unfair thing.”

Anne then said to her with gritted teeth, “Same here, Rose.”
