In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

237 The Round Table Tribe (Part 4)

Brom and Anne were curious about the one entry that makes King Edward look so distraught. They look at the entry on the note and read it carefully.

‘Entry number ten, Date xx, Month xxx, Year xxxx

I was dreaming about her, as usual, but something is strange. She just stood there and pointed at the river. She told me that she lost her key and I needed to help her find the key.

Ps: After some research with Darla, I finally found the river. It was the crystal river. Strange enough, I remember that you came from the same river.’

“The crystal river, so the witch mentioned the crystal river and Anne came from the river. How could you never put it together?” Justice asked the two of them.

“We have already talked about this after we met directly. It is on the crystal river but it wasn’t in the same area. Anne was found in the crystal river right in the valley of Viora village. The witch shows me a crystal river, but it’s not in the same area.” Said Brom to Justice and King Edward.

“So, it is in another area where the crystal river is flowing as well. Do you know where the exact location is?” Asked Justice again.

“Wait, Justice!” King Edward halted his son and then focused on Anne. “Miss Anne, so, you came from the inside of the crystal river?”

Anne nods her head. “Yes, I don’t know how though. I got hit by a truck and thrown into the river in my old world, and when I regained my conscious, I was already in Ed and Martha’s home.”

.....

“So, they told you everything, that they have found you on the crystal river?” Asked king Edward again.

“They told me everything, but not the peculiar black meteor in the sky, I knew about the latter from Chief Amaris,” Anne explained to King Edward, who was still having a thought, probably trying to piece the puzzles.

“Father, did something bothering you?” Asked Justice to King Edward.

King Edward looks at Anne, Brom, and Justice. “Yes, because I was distraught by the mentioning of the crystal river and the mentioned of a key.”

“Why, his majesty?” Anne was so curious by now.

“Because the round table tribe considered crystal river sacred, they believe it as the water source that came from the Moon and Sun Gods.” He shakes his head and chuckles. “This whole thing become so much bigger now, and when she mentioned key.”

“What is the key, actually?” Even Justice was confused.

“We never actually know about this key, but… hear me out, the crystal river actually has a whole dark story, it’s about the deceit and betrayal of one God to another God, and the crystal river is formed after the feud.” Said king Edward again. “But I don’t know the whole story, just the parts of it.”

“So, this key, probably part of the story as a whole, Anne and Brom, were actually related to this part of the story as well.” Justice looked at her and muttered. “I just hope it will be a happy part of the story.”

Anne gave him a weak smile and hold his hand.

Meanwhile, Henry and Heirim were quiet for the whole journey, he took a slight glance at his sister and huffed his breath. “You can talk to me, right?”

A glare goes to him directly from his sister. “Of course I can. I was afraid that you will reject me trying to have small talk. Remember that you used to leave every time I initiated any conversation?!”

“Fine! Now I am here, so talk.” Henry was hissing, Heirim took it personally.

“Fine! Let’s talk about my dolls that you mutilated when I was just an eight-year-old girl.” Heirim begins to stitch many problems from their childhood. “Oh, and my beautiful flower wallpaper on my playroom, you dare to scribble on it with Justice!”

Looking Aghast, Henry turn around and screamed. “That was like so long time ago.”

“Oh yeah, but I never hear any apology from you.” Said Heirim while holding her head high.

“Are you for real? All of this for doll heads and an innocent drawing in just some stupid wallpaper?!” Henry basically screeched, while Heirim raised her eyebrows.

“First of all, the doll is an expensive porcelain doll that our father custom-made for me! And that flower print wallpaper is a limited edition item wallpaper!” Heirim says it calmly and stared at the road with a pouty mouth. “See, you just don’t get it. The items were precious to me.”

“Do you know why I destroyed your doll and scribbled on your wallpaper? Because all of it came from our father.” Said Henry to her. Heirim turn his head and was a bit taken aback by his words. “Father never gave me any sentimental items, not even once, especially when you were born, he… he adored you but felt that I was just a burden for the family.”

“Oh, Henry, I never thought that you…” Heirim couldn’t say any words and just choke up.

Henry smiled bitterly, remembering the memories from his childhood. He handed his sister a handkerchief to wipe her tears. “I am sorry. I never intended to hurt your feelings. It was just a fit of childish jealousy towards the favorite child.”

“No! you should never apologize! I should be the one who apologize, I was blinded by our father’s affection, and also…” Instead of saying any words, she wraps her arms around his brother’s shoulder.

Surprised by his sister’s sudden affection, he doesn’t know how to react properly but tries his best by patting her back. Finally, after the long journey, they settled at the inn by the lake. Most of the man opt to have a drink at the local pub, while Heirim decline, sitting on the coach seat is not that comfortable at all, and wanted to rest her back on the bed.

She took her key room to the innkeeper and go upstairs. When she walked into the hall, a scream came from the room beside her.

“Just leave me alone! I don’t want anything from you!” She recognized the voice, it was Anne who opt to take a rest as well.

Sensing that she was in danger, Heirim call for her rapier and bust the door. “Miss Anne, are you alright?!”

Right in front of her, there she is, the witch of the mountain, with her long black hair and her colorful rainbow eyes. The witch was distraught when she looks at her. “You! What are you doing here?!” Says the witch to Heirim. “You’re not supposed to be here!” With a blood-curdling scream, the witch dispersed into a black thick smoke and went instantly from the room.

She approached Anne immediately. “Are you alright?”

Nodded her head. She was so grateful to see Heirim. “Yes, thank you so much you’ came here.” After she calm her nerves a bit, Anne look into Heirim. “How come she spoke like she know you?”

“I don’t know... But it seems I knew her, I don’t know why.” Says Heirim, so baffled by the encountered.
