240 The Expected Encountered (part 1)
“Heirim? In your dream?” Asked Justice with a frown on his face. “Probably because she tried to reconnect with you lately.”
Henry doubts the theory and just shakes his head. “I don’t know, Justice. I mean, how come the three of you were trying to kill me? And how come Heirim is crying in my dream?”
“You said that she was crying because you’re dying while lying in her arms, probably because your connection is stronger than before.” Said Vale to Henry.
“All of you were worried about Heirim going inside Henry’s dream?” Xavier took a sigh and looked at his friends one by one. “Aren’t you worried about the three of us killing Henry?!”
“Xavier’s right, we need to investigate this, how come we become the killers of his dream, I mean… have you ever thought how ridiculous that was?” Said Justice to the others.
“I think we need to ask the round table tribe about Henry’s dream, our faces as the killers, and Heirim?” Vale can’t even wrap his head over Henry’s nightmare, but sadly, they don’t have any answer for now.
They decide to ask the round table tribe about the nightmare and focus on the journey instead. At dinner, King Edward is already eaten his dinner with Anne by his side, along with Arthur, Heirim, and Brom. The four gentlemen just came inside the restaurant together, Anne looks at them and points at the other table for them to eat dinner.
“Should we talk to Anne and Heirim about my dream?” Asked Henry to Justice.
The crown prince looking at the purple hair healer who is laughing at something that King Edward said to her. “Yes, but not right now, let us wait until dinner.”

Henry turns his head to the other group. He was hesitant about the other girl. “You’re right, we need to be honest with Anne, but what about Heirim?”
“Don’t you want to ask your sister? I mean, I know she was a bit of a b*tch in the past, but she was trying.” Xavier gave his opinion, while Henry, Vale, and Justice looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
“Xavier, I never knew that you could be so considerate. Good for you.” Teased Justice, while Vale and Henry chuckles.
Xavier was flustered, after teasing from Justice. “Shut up! I mean, after all, she is your family, Henry.”
“I will, don’t worry.” Said Henry, while he stares at Anne from his seat.
One hour later, after dinner, they discuss the journey to Gendry town. King Edward gave a pointer to the glassmap. “Remember, Gendry town is one of the Bordertown, where the Hoards potentially appear at all times.”
“We need to be cautious. As a border town, the road surrounding the area will be full of the dark and mischievous roads.” Added Justice to the others. “Always be cautious and alert at all times.”
“How long until we arrived at Gendry town?” Asked Heirim.
“One and a half days, if we take a short break from here and there,” Vale answered her question, and everyone just groaned after hearing the answer.
“That’s why all of us need to take this time to rest as we need to hurry ourselves to Gendry town.” King Edward reminds them of their journey tomorrow. “We are going at nine in the morning.”
They stand up when King Edward excused himself to his room. Anne approached Justice and whispered. “I worried about him; he was bottling his feeling so much.”
Justice held unto her arm and kissed her face. “Don’t worry, I’ll talk to him.”
She squeezes his hand and put her head on his shoulder. “Yes, please, I can see that he was trying so hard to smile and acted like there’s nothing happened, but imagined how painful he must feel…”
“By the way, we need to talk to you.” Said Justice again.
With a frown on her face, Anne asked him what this is about. After the four of them were convinced that the others were already going back to his room. They asked Anne to sit at the corner table of the restaurant, and Henry begin to tell her about the nightmare.
Anne just couldn’t believe what she had heard from Henry. “God! This is terrible! I just couldn’t believe that they could do something terrible to you, but Henry, it could be just another, well… dream.”
“Anne, we already established by now that Henry’s nightmare is not your simple dream.” Said Justice to her. “After the conclusion from Chief Amaris, there’s a possibility the connection is getting stronger and probably it triggered Henry’s nightmare.
She took a sighed and stare at the floor. “But I will never believe it. The four of you are brothers, mates. There’s no way one of you has the gall to kill your own best friend.”
Vale caressed her cheek and smiled. “Come on, Anne, we know that there’s something wrong with his nightmare. We just wanted to have some explanation, especially since Henry was haunted by the nightmare for so long now.”
“That’s why we are going to ask the round table tribe about his nightmare as well.” This time, it was Xavier who spoke to her. “So, don’t worry, we tell you all of this because we promise to be honest with you.”
She put on her bittered smile and nods her head. “Yes, and I appreciate it. I do hope the round table tribe will give us some tangible answer.”
They feel relieved after telling Anne everything and also decided not to tell Heirim anything about Henry’s nightmare, for now. When they are going back to get some rest, Anne looks at them and spoke. “It seems Heirim is also connected to us.”
They stopped walking and turn their head to Anne.
“What do you mean?” Said Justice to her. “Anne, that wasn’t possible. Heirim was never even close with us in any way possible. She rarely got tangled in any of our problems, unlike Brom.”
Anne shakes his head. “No, you’re wrong. Heirim is now connected to us because she is changing. She accepted her brother and also begins to open her heart about the noble and commoner. Don’t you all see it? She is now part of the connection!”
