189 The rescue team (part 3)

“Leo, please, be quiet!” Nathan tried to calm his junior, his eyes glanced at all the captains who were in the middle of taking care of their horses. “Look, let us talk inside. I’ll explain everything.”

They were actually waiting for the ship at the inn with a lake view. Nathan ushered his juniors to the corner table, hoping the other captains will leave him alone for now. He orders some food and drinks for the three of them and while they are waiting, he begins to explain everything.

“Chief Hale summoned me first, before the other captains. He told me that the empress got a very peculiar letter from a certain… Extremist group.”

Leo was angry. He slammed the table and look fiercely at his senior. “F*ck, senior, this is not some unusual situation.” 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

“I know, Leo, what can I say? Chief Leo wanted me to shut my mouth for now.” Nathan massaged his temple. He was already stressing out.

“How come chief Hale needs to keep this a secret? Was it because of the empress?” Asked Anne to Nathan.

Nathan shook his head, “I truly don’t know, the only thing that I know was the extremist group claimed that they have the crown prince, along with prince Javier, and large numbers of their army will come to the capital to destroy the rest of the royalties.”

“Oh, my God! So, Just… I mean the crown prince was already captured by them?!” Now, Anne is panicking, she maintained her calm exterior earlier, thinking that Justice and Vale were fine and probably hiding somewhere, but turned out, there was another claim about him.

Leo hold her hand, and softly spoke to her friend, “Don’t worry, he will be fine… They will be fine, have some trust in their abilities.”

.....

Anne looks at her friend. She was grateful that Leo was always there for her. In just a couple of months, they already become such a best friend, that Leo could grieve silently with Anne by his side. Anne could also count on Leo as her best friend whom she can rely on inside the main hospital.

“Look, I was tired, and I bet the two of you also feel the same. We were on our shift when this new mission came to us, so, let us eat and drink in silence, alright?” Nathan was grumbling. Since the false infection case, the rather heartwarming senior was disappearing in their very eyes.

“Let’s call for a truce. I was kind of hungry as well.” Leo patted Anne on her back. He tried to lighten up the mood for a bit.

Anne agreed, there will be plenty of time to discuss this on the ship, they need to reach Kalpataru island in two days after all. They enjoyed some butterbread and moomilk. Anne once again doesn’t have much to eat, Leo put another loaf of bread on her plate. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

“Eat, or I will force you to eat it by any means necessary.” He glared at Anne, and the girl nods immediately. Leo took a sigh. “Seriously, Anne, you need to eat properly. Remember, we are going to…”

“Are you done?” Said a voice from the front door of the inn.

The three of them turn around and saw Henry with his hands folded on his chest.

“Almost. I need to pay for the food and drink.” Says Nathan to him. As usual, there’s rarely a trace of a smile on his face.

Henry nodded his head, “Just use the letter of order from the empress.”

Nathan disagrees with Henry. “No, this is not the right time. I’ll use my own money.”

In fact, that Henry knows nothing makes Nathan a bit cautious. They go into the port, where everyone was already waiting. Xavier took Anne’s hand before Arthur could do something. Leo just rolled his eyes, looking at their action. He was one of the witnesses of how ridiculous these two men were in the past month.

“Should we go to our designated room for now?” Nathan gives every captain a key, while Leo and Anne follow him into a room.

“Wait, hold up!” Arthur stopped the group from walking any further. “Where is Anne’s room?”

“Arthur, I’m going to sleep with them. That’s why we are using the largest bedroom, which will be three beds inside.” Anne answered his question. She smiles awkwardly at the magic knight captain.

Arthur was stunned. He stuttered when he tried to speak to her after Anne gave her a simple answer, “But… but you’re a young woman, and they are…”

“And we don’t care. Anne is our colleague. Guess magic knight doesn’t know this kind of family by their duty thing.” Leo pushes the magic knight away, even giving him a stinky eye, he also pulls Anne away, while the others just chuckle at this drama, “Dear captain of the magic knight, please, go down from your high horse and let us get some rest, we are already exhausting from our shift.”

Brom grabs Arthur’s shoulder, “Look, we do know that for a magic knight, you always have the privilege of your own tent, probably that’s why you never care to see how the others need to share a tent, especially the healers since they need to put their patients above all.” He then patted the shoulder and looks at the magic knight captain once again before leaving him alone. “Oh yeah, you’re sharing the room with me.”

Arthur was in disbelief. As the magic knight, he was having a privilege that no other jobs have. In every mission, if one of them joined, they will have their own tent, even though not as posh as the royalty’s tent. This kind of treatment is unbeknown to the magic knight, especially Arthur, with the rank of captain.

Henry and Xavier walk away from Arthur. Xavier even winked at him and said, “Welcome to our level, dear magic knight. Hope you enjoy your stay.”

When both of them enter their room, they could only laugh. Henry sat on the only chair in their room, and Xavier drop himself to the lower bunk bed. Both of them were laughing at Arthur, even Henry, who comes from the nobility, and hates to be surrounded by any kind of lavish lifestyle. Justice also felt the same, and that was the reason both of them are best friends since childhood.

“That d*mn magic knight always looks themselves better than their own royalty. Seriously, even Justice will never think twice about sharing a bedroom with anyone if he has to.” Xavier mumbled, still a bit upset at the earlier incident.

Henry chuckles at him, “Justice will abhor such an entitlement, that’s why he never like Javier’s pompous act.”

They converse for another hour, even hearing the whistle of the ship. When they finally leave the port, both of them already grew tired and almost fell asleep, but then.

“Henry, Xavier, can I come in?” Anne’s voice was coming from the other side of their bedroom door.

Xavier and Henry took glanced at each other. Henry opens the door for her. He let her go inside and even took some time to see if someone probably saw her. Henry closed the door and asked her to sit in the chair.

“Don’t worry, no one saw me here.” She said to Henry, while her eyes going to Xavier and Henry, nervously, Anne cleared her throat and said, “I need to tell you, guys, something. Justice and Vale probably were in danger right now. They…”

“Wait, Anne, we know.” Xavier cut her sentences. He approached her and hold her hand. “We know about them because Justice himself already told us.”
