In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

234 The Round Table Tribe (Part 2)

“Did you have anything?”

Anne turns around to see Xavier towering behind her, “Yes, my permit from the chief of healer, and my essentials and the medicine.”

They were back in the capital, but need to go to Gendry town, tomorrow. Anne was in the middle of packing the essentials while Xavier’s making some caftea on her kitchenette. For the last couple of weeks, the four gentlemen took a turn to protect her, whether in the hospital or at her house. They even have their own bed inside the hut, literally never letting her alone twenty-four-seven.

“Yes, Xavier, and you don’t have to ask it like every five minutes.” She huffed her breath, trying not to roll her eyes so badly. Thinking for a week, she was getting stalked by them, it would already be enough for her. “Ugh… Why Chief Amaris need to ask the four of you to be by my side all the time was beyond me.”

“She had her reason, Anne, and please don’t be so agitated by it. We tried so hard to be discreet, even when we were here, inside this small hut.” He was trying so hard to give her a reason, but the woman just glared at him. “Hey, I am not the one who rejected Justice to use his small garden villa in the palace.”

“And being subjugated by the palace staff? No, thank you.” Said Anne, full of sarcasm. “You know, even the hospital staff were already whispering.”

His eyes go to her, “Everyone would bound asking questioned and even gossiping, I mean, Justice gave you a warm embrace inside a canteen full of people!”

Feeling defeated, Anne drops herself to her bed and looks at Xavier with a bittered smile. “I know that it seems like a fairytale, having a crown prince, and in the near future becoming the empress. Did you know how much I was trying so hard to make this into a dream come true back in my original world?” He sat with her and took her into his embrace. Anne took a sigh and tell him a story about Anne in the original world. “I was a cold woman, but not as I intended to, but it’s because I was born with a rare disease that rendered me incapable of feeling any emotion.”

“Really? None whatsoever?” He teased her and gave her a giggle.

.....

“Hey, I was trying to tell you my story. Be compassionate a little.” Said Anne, and then flick his nose.

He winced and chuckles. “Alright, alright, my beautiful miss. So, tell me about the forty-year-old woman named Anne?”

Anne flicked his nose once again. “Shut up! I was a forty-year-old beautiful woman, you know.”

“Yes… I can see that.” His voice changes his tone, his right hand goes to caressing her face, and the golden eyes shine when he stared at his beloved River Anne, “I see this beautiful young woman who gets a second chance in life, and we… The four of us are truly blessed to call her our lover and partner.”

They share a moment, and the lips meet each other in the entanglement of the blissful, happy moment. His hot breath brushes her blushed cheek, she was shy, but he was there for her. The kiss got deeper and more intimate and his hand begin to go under. That’s when he saw the doubt on her face.

“I should stop now, or I would never be able to stop.” He said to her with a bated breath.

Anne nods her head, “Yes, it is for the best for now… We still need to know about the connection that we have.” She looks at him, and suddenly put his face in between her palms. “But, I want you to know this, the thing that we are trying to do just now was never a mistake for me. I love you, Xavier of Wolgala town, just as much as the other three. I would love to be one with you when the time is right, and it would be the most magical moment for us!”

His golden eyes shine brightly, and her declaration of love got him warm and fuzzy. “Anne… I love you, but could you let me go? I feel I could be drooling in no time cause you pressed my cheeks so much.”

She let him go right away. “Oh, I am sorry!”

He snorted and then shakes his head while laughing. “Don’t worry, I am alright, but next time, just gently pressed it, and we can continue to explore how deep is our love for each other?”

Now it is Anne who gets a giggle and even slaps his arm. They were having a moment together, sweet memories for each other, and when the sun was rising, the two of them were waiting at the front gate of the capital. Not long after, Vale and Henry came. They brought the carriage because of the three days’ journeys to Gendry town.

One hour later, Justice came with a carriage, along with Brom and Xander. His face was nothing if it was not an annoyance. Anne saw him and sense something was wrong. She approached the crown prince and asked him directly.

“Is something wrong? How come you seem to agitate?”

Justice took glanced at her and tell him the reason, “I don’t know how to tell you this, but it seems my mother knew about our relationship through the hideous gossip that goes around the palace.”

She was flustered. She knows this will be happening sooner or later. But of course not like this, not from the mouth of the gossipers between the tea time of the nobles and royalty. “Oh no, I hope she is not angry or something.” Anne was worried now.

“That’s the thing. I wanted to tell her myself, just like we planned it, but now it went down the drain. Even my father, Edward, couldn’t help me that much.” He looks around, and Anne can sense fear in his eyes.

“Alright, Justice… What is happening? You can’t even calm yourself right now.” Anne asked him carefully, while her hand brushed his back, trying to calm him down.

He looks at Anne, still a bit agitated, “She wants to meet you, in person.”

“What? What do you mean?” Asked Anne again.

Taking a long sigh, Justice then said, “The Empress, she wanted to meet you in person, just the two of you.”
