Justice, Henry, and Xavier looked at each other, baffled by Anne’s information.

“I am sorry, but what happened?” Asked Xavier, a frown came into his face.

“She… she disappear before the group who went back to the capital, most likely she was the one who… who… Oh my God! I don’t know what, but she must be related to the case somehow.” She became doubting her suspicion, and when Anne looked around the room, all eyes were on her. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

“Why are you so adamant about her? I mean, she probably just came here for her duty.” Said Henry to Anne.

Justice nudge him and whispered, “Rosy was the one who assaulted her on the second exam back then.”

“Wait, that b*tch who stomp on your hand?!” Henry said it so brazenly, even Justice need to clear his throat to warn him about his attitude. He corrected the words immediately. “My apology, I mean the one who got you injured.”

“Yes, that was her. She was a bit taken aback when she saw me here as the capital healer.” Anne said to all of them, confessing about the first day that they have met in the encampment.

Justice huffed his breath and said to her, “That shouldn’t bother you at all. She already gets her punishment. She got the certificate as the registered healer, but only a dream could make her enter the hospital in the capital.” Justice gave her the reason, but without the hidden truth about the matter, that he was actually the one who gave the punishment to Rosy after he heard the news about her being freed from the allegation.

After hearing the objection that came from Justice, she was dumbfounded and felt the need to apologize to all of them. “You’re right, it was probably my imagination running wild. I… I am sorry for my sudden arrival that might disturb you all.” She excused herself from the tent before Xavier could ask her to stay around for a cup of caftea.

“Let her be, Xavier, she has her duty and so does ours.” Said Justice, without even taking his eyes from the war table.

“The two of you were so rude, seriously!” Xavier went outside of the tent and said that he will accompany Anne to the tent. The other two just stayed around and not even bothered to reply.

“What should we do after we go back? Assuming that Vale would succeed in hiding the truth for now.” Asked Henry to Justice. They were in the middle of discussing how to investigate the incident based on the evidence that they had.

“Wait, I was so curious about this fabric in Hector’s hand. I would say this is a fine garment that only nobles could have.” Justice said to Henry, after observing the green dye fabric on the glass vial.

“I think you’re right, this is a high-quality fabric, and look what I found in one of the guard’s bodies.” Henry handed Justice another glass vial with another piece of evidence. “Piece of a broken sword.”

He observed the piece and got intrigued. “That was strange. If it was a noble, how come the sword was a bit rusty?”

“Like you always take care of your sword.” Chuckles Henry, teasing his friend. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂

“I do, you b*stard, you just never saw me before.” Justice get a bemused smile and then said to Henry, “Well, I call for my sword and gave it to my servants, so, fair point.”

“Which sword that we were talking about here?” Again, another amusing tease from Henry.

“Shut it you manwh*re!” Warned the crown prince, even though he was laughing so hard.

Henry replied to him with another amusing word. “Oh yes, like our prude crown prince will know.”

They have a good laugh and even have to wipe a few tears. Justice stared at his friend and smiled, “I love that you can relax, even just for a bit.”

Henry went quiet and let out a sigh. “A rare occasion, though, but I do feel calmer today.”

“Probably because of a certain someone, or maybe a woman?” Xavier said from the entrance of the tent. The two of them look directly at him and smile.

“So, how is she? I suspected she was calmer now.” Asked Henry with a grin on his face.

Xavier gasped and pointed at him, “You… b*stard! You intended to ignore her, so she will be going out of the tent, weren’t you?”

“We have to, or else she will be exposing herself to this gruesome evidence that we collected.” Muttered Justice, still observing some of the evidence.

“Well, I was glad that I don’t take the hint after both of you look so d*mn like a wall!” gruntled Xavier to both of them.

“Relax, I intend to visit her after we finished our discussion here,” Said Justice while giving Xavier the broken sword. “What do you think about this?”

“A common sword, widely used by the lower rank knight, huntsman, and guards, but this one was beaten.” He gave it a thought for a bit and looked carefully at the sword.

“Oh, Henry, about the girl that Anne was talking about. When did she get out of the encampment?” Asked Justice, so suddenly.

Henry tries to remember his discussion with the guard back then. “She went out almost as soon as the gate was open. Although It was intriguing to know that she was coming from the south gate but be away from the west gate.”

“Intriguing indeed, I think we need to inspect this young woman,” Said Justice, he walked to the entrance, intending to do something, “Let me call for my second guard, Bernard will need to rest even after we go back to the capital.” He then talked to the guards at the entrance and asked them to call for his personal guard.

“I think this is a perfect time to give Bernard the much-needed rest. Justice, it’s time for you to choose another man as your chief guard,” Xavier told him, with a very wide grin on his face.

Henry laughed and even patted Xavier’s shoulder, “You said that so he will be surely choosing him as his new chief guard, right?”

Xavier gruntled, “Of course not. Bernard is tired. Just think about it. The poor man needs to retire and enjoyed life.”

Not long after the conversation, Xander goes inside their tent in his formal guard uniform, he salutes everyone and then talked to Justice, “You called for me, your majesty?”
