214 The truth spell
The others look at Brom and figure out how come he can be so cold and heartless when he offered to pry some answer from Amelia. He looks at them with his uninterested attitude that only a handful of people understood about the weirdness of Brom, and one of them it was sitting with the other.
“Look, Brom, how much pain do princess Amelia will have to endure?” Asked Vale to the not so much enthusiastic Brom, “I mean, we couldn’t harm her.”
“Why not? She was the antagonistic woman. Am I right? So let her get some pain.” Brom asked him with a shrug.
A horrified look came over everyone’s face. Xavier even whispered to Justice, “I’m already saying this, but I’m going to say it again. This man is terrifying.”
Justice whispered back at him, “You terrified of him? I am terrified for the safety of Anne. They are best friends.”
“It’s not going to be that painful. Maybe just sting a little if she resists.” Said Brom again while yawning, “You want her to talk, right? She will be if you use the spell that I just learned.”
Vale was in disbelief. “You want to use a new spell that you have just learned to her?!”
“Oh, trust me, primary captain, I never even once ruin a spell.” Said Brom towards Amelia’s room, “So, shall we?”
The others look at him with doubt. Only when king Edward said that he may go and do as he wishes, that’s when the others let out a sigh. King Edward has the authority, and everyone will obey. Brom and Xavier put Amelia on the chair while they were circling her.
.....
“Well, I must say, now I know how the ladies with more than two husbands were feeling.” She said with a bit of a tease to all of them.
King Edward was disgusted by her. From his chair, he shouted to her, “Stop that, Amelia, you’re still married to my son.”
She turned to see the king, “Oh yeah, did you not remember what did I say to you? Your son was one of the conspirators of all this thing!”
“Shut up, Amelia!” Shouted Justice, “I know from the moment I saw you that you’re really bad news for my family, now, you can either voluntarily give us the information about this secretive army or we are going to need to use a harmful spell on you.” He sat in front of Amelia, while his hands folded on his chest, “Your choice, ’cause we are going to get the information, no matter what.”
“Oh, just let me have her. I am itching to use this new spell!” Brom circled on Amelia, with his eyes staring at her, like looking at his new prey. “Please, I really want to see the effect on her.”
“Brom, just calm down, please.” Warned Vale, he was sitting closely with Xavier on the other side of the room. Observing from afar.
Amelia was nervous. She can feel how all of them were so eager, she know that there was no coming back. She blamed her family because of her misfortune. They clamor for a connection to become one of the blue blood. They have the wealth, but never the noble blood. When they saw the opportunity to come in a form of a prince, they don’t even think twice about offering her as bait. Amelia never love Javier, at least not in the way that she wanted to, not to mention she felt that Javier just wanted her fortune and the connection of her family.
She took a sigh and said to Justice, “I want leniency. If you give me a promise, then I will tell you anything that I knew.”
Justice turn his attention to his father, and they went quiet for a while, until Edward nodded his head, “Alright, everyone here is my witness, tell us everything, and don’t you dare to hide or even change the information, or you will suffer the consequences.”
For the next two hours, Amelia was being interrogated for everything that they need to know about the enemies, their armies, the capacity, the form of defenses, and even the organization itself, Amelia tell them everything that she could until warm hands engulfed her face. She looks up and saw Anne glaring at all the men in the room.
“Enough! You interrogated her for two hours. She was exhausted.”
Justice looks at her and nodded his head. “She’s right. We got everything that she needs from her. Let her rest in the room.”
Anne and Vale took her back to the room, and when Anne look into her condition, she was laughing at her. “You are just unbelievably nice, aren’t you? Was this your acting whenever you’re surrounded by your men?”
Anne was checking on her pulse and even tuck her into the bed, “No, I was worried for everyone because this is my job as a healer,” She said to Amelia, and when Vale and she are exiting her room, she turned to Amelia and said, “Oh, and they are not my men, they are who they are, the same as mine, the only thing that is different that we love each other. Be on your own person, princess Amelia.”
When she close Amelia’s bedroom door, Vale rushed into the spell and push Anne to the wall. He claimed her mouth spontaneously, making Anne a bit surprised by it. Their lips intertwined for a while, and his hands trying so hard not o touch her body, her lips feels like a sugary sweet that melted in his mouth, a sweet that he can taste every time and never get bored.
When he stopped, they look at each other. Anne then caressed his face. “That was a nice surprise. What was that for?”
“Just because….” Said Vale with a husky voice.
They can go on if it’s not because of Henry, who cleared his throat from the other end of the hall. “Well, no wonder you took so long. We were waiting.”
They smiled at each other, and not long after, they go back with Henry looking at them from behind. Xavier and Justice looked at them and knew exactly what had just happened from the looks of Anne’s and Vale’s lips.
“Gods! You two!” Xavier gasped theatrically, “Alright, Anne, next is me.”
“Xavier, this is not a competition.” Justice tried to tell him while rolling his eyes.
“Well, good on you. You already kiss her recently.” Muttered Vale while smirking.
Anne could almost drown herself in front of everyone, especially when king Edward was here, with them. Brom takes a seat beside her. She tried to avoid the subject by asking Brom about his new spell.
“So, if you use the spell on Amelia, did she really going to tell you the truth?”
Brom looked at her with a frown on his face, “How should I know? There’s no such a spell, anyway.”
Anne’s eyes got wide at the revelation. “What?! So you lied?!”
