In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair-Chapter 241 - The Expected Encountered (Part 2)

241 The Expected Encountered (Part 2)

“Everything is ready?”

Henry asked Xander who was now in charge of the carriage full of trunks, while Heirim looked at him with her hands on her hips, really annoyed by the arrangement. Xander tells him that the carriage was ready, and he goes away to get more fresh water for the journey, leaving the siblings by themselves.

“Why do I have to stay in the coach seat with him?” Asked Heirim to her brother.

Henry took sighed and explained it to her. “For the second time, it was because your captain asked you to, as the junior second rank, you need to do exactly as your captain instructed you.”

Gasping, Heirim couldn’t just believe how her brother let her sit beside Xander. “So… So, I need to sit with that flea-infesting werewolf?! Oh, Gods!” As she stormed away from his brother.

“Where are you going?!” Yelled Henry to his sister.

“To Captain Arthur! This is outrageous!” Yelling Heirim’s back, while Henry shook his head, cause he already knew the answer.

Ten minutes later, he was helping Anne to go inside the royal carriage, with Brom, Justice, and King Edward. Heirim, with her disgruntling self, sits beside Xander, while Henry goes inside the carriage with Vale.

“Why did you let your sister sit beside Xander, she obviously hates to have a sit with him?” Asked Vale to Henry.

.....

A smirk appears on Henry’s face. “Actually, Arthur wanted her to sit inside the carriage, but I asked him to let her sit with Xander instead. Now I will have a good time sleeping inside the carriage while she deals with Xavier’s brother.”

Vale just couldn’t believe what he just heard. “You’re a monster.” he shakes his head and begins to laugh.

“Give me some credit, you don’t want her inside as well, so, you’re welcome.” Said Henry, still with a smirk on his face.

In the other place, Heirim was glaring at Xander, who was now sitting beside her.

“Well, are you ready, princess?” Asked Xander while grabbing onto the horse’s rein.

With gritted teeth, she mouthed words to Xander. “Don’t call me princess. I am the duke’s daughter, a noble, but not royalty.”

Xander stared at her, and when she refused to look directly at him, he whispered straight into her ears. “Well… Who cares?”

Heirim turns to look at Xander with a gaping mouth, while the latter just smiles. The carriages begin to go away from the inn and onto the dangerous road of Gendry town. The groups maintained the journey through the roads, getting a short rest now and then, and after twelve hours in the dense forest, they can feel that the danger is getting closer than ever.

Justice looks into his father, who stared with an empty eye through the road. “Father, I was curious about your life as one of the tribes back then.” He tried to divert his attention to something else, as he glanced at Anne, asking for her approval. “I mean, your tribe is one of the most mysterious communities in the kingdom.”

He gets his attention immediately. “Son, I do appreciate you wanted to know more about my culture, but let’s not call my tribe a community, shall we?”

Shrugging his shoulder, Justice asked him again. “Alright, so it’s a tribe, but what is the round table tribe?”

“The origin of the round table tribe is a nomad tribe. They look into the charts of the moon and stars while worshipping the Moon and Sun Gods.” Said King Edward to everyone in the carriage. Anne, Justice, and even Brom focus on hearing him. “My ancestors are being called the fortune teller in the whole world, and they always tell their youngsters about legends and prophecy, through their teaching or by their song. Don’t you know, the wedding and the funeral song came from the round table tribe.”

Anne’s eyes were lit. “Oh, that beautiful song that kind of like a story?”

“Yes, the round table tribe uses it for the wedding and the funeral song inside of the tribe only, but one of the empresses in the Valorian kingdom likes it so much, that she declares it as the song for the wedding and the funeral in the kingdom.” King Edward said to her while trying to remember the lyric of the song. “It is the story of the round table tribe Gods since the tribe only worshipped two Gods, the Moon, and the Sun.”

“Now, I kind of want to hear the lyrics for the wedding verse. I’ve heard from my senior that the verse for the wedding is different from the verse for the funeral.” Anne do really curious about the song, but King Edward shook his head.

“I am sorry, Miss Anne. I don’t know the exact verse of the wedding song.” Said King Edward to her.

Disappointed, she looks at Justice who shakes his head, and when she goes to Brom, the latter just asked her to wait until they have met with the round table tribe.

“They knew the verse really well, you just have to wait.” Brom blatantly said to her, while yawning, looking to get a nap.

Before he can even close his eyes, the carriage begins to wobble and drifted into one of the trees. Justice immediately held into Anne, while Brom cast a prison bubble at the four of them. The carriage crash and the prison bubble protect the four of them from a major impact.

“Anne! Justice! Are you alright?!” It was Xavier, who jump as fast as he could from the carriage.

The other carriage stops abruptly and looks into the damage. The four of them get outside from the bubble and were looking around the area with a confused thought.

“Are you alright?” Asked Justice to Anne, he look at her, trying to find any injury.

Anne shook her head. “No, no, I am fine. What about you?”

“I am fine, don’t worry.” Muttered Justice while pulling her into his arms.

“What happened?!” Asked Heirim while looking around. She was as surprised as the others.

Xander looks at the road in front of them. His eyes widen and he appears so distraught. “Well, that’s probably the cause.” Said Xander pointing at the anomaly.

A dark portal appears in the road, and the small monsters came flying out from it. The Hoards are open in front of them.
