Chapter 218 - 218 Brother and Sister (Part 2)

218 Brother and Sister (Part 2)

Henry was walking through the hall, his mind still on how Anne, but not about all of her this time. It was something that she said. Something about his sister, the one proudest child of Spencer’s family. He was curious as if something has changed, well, something did change, because Heirim never volunteered or done any charity whatsoever.

He open the door to the meeting room and saw everyone was in a foul mood. There was only silence, and he retreated to where Xavier was sitting.

“What happened here?” Asked Henry to Xavier, at least he was not a stressful face in the room right now.

Xavier took a sigh and gave Henry a drink. “They need to settle for a formation, but everyone disagrees with Justice’s proposal. I don’t know why he was so stubborn about it.”

Justice glared at his father, while Jason looked at the two of them with a long face. Henry feels sorry for him. He probably just wanted to be civil, but Henry knows how stubborn Justice can be.

“No! You’re wrong. If you take the magi as the full aggressive attack, the knights and the others will suffer!” Said Justice to Edward. He was so frustrated, he even punch the table.

Jason tried to calm his brother’s nerves, “Calm down, Justice, this is not supposed…”

“No! Jason, this is wrong! Yes, Amelia told us everything that she knew, but she could be wrong, or she could be lying. The possibility is still there.” Said Justice to his older brother.

Jason give a code to Vale, and after Vale nodded his head, he announce a break time for two hours. “Take a rest or probably take something to eat. See you in two hours.”

.....

Hearing the sigh of relief from everyone inside, Henry knew that Jason and Vale had already planned this from the beginning. Vale calls for Xavier and him to get closer.

“Let’s go to the canteen. I’m starving.” Said Vale to the three of them.

Justice was trying to pass, but when he saw that his friends were waiting for him, he took a deep breath and finally give in. He needs to calm his nerves and the best way is to get something to eat. They held onto his friend and took him to the canteen.

The canteen was almost at full capacity, but lucky for them, they got a table in the middle of the room. Everyone’s eyes go to the four attractive gentlemen on the middle table, there’s a group of the young knight that looks at them and whispers, the crown prince and their best friends, any girl dreams to catch the eyes of the crown prince and his friends. Imagined, you will be able to become an empress.

Some of them thought about the glory, the highest title in the Valorian kingdom, and not to mention the four men as potential partners. Some of them just want them, even without their titles and fortune. They are all very handsome and attractive men. But, soon their wish will be crumbling apart when a peculiar beautiful young woman with purple hair color enters the canteen.

She looks at the four of them and smiles, “Oh, did the meeting finally over? I just come to buy some moomilk for the healers.”

Suddenly, Justice stands up from his seat and pulls Anne into his embrace. The rowdy canteen suddenly grew quiet. They were in shock to see the crown prince embracing a woman in front of everyone. The other three just smiled. They knew what’s going to happen, and the crown prince made up his mind. He chooses his soon-to-be empress in front of everyone in the canteen.

Anne was confused, but she felt something was strange. She doesn’t mind everyone around her gawking at the two of them. She already declared that no matter what, they were in this together. She is worried about Justice, while Justice still holds onto her. Anne whispered, “Are you alright? Did something happen?”

He releases his hands and smiles at Anne. “I am now. You should go. They were probably waiting for the moomilk.”

She took her jugs of moomilk and said to them, “I’ll see you soon, alright?”

After the young woman was gone, the place became crazy all of a sudden. The gossip will be spreading like a wildfire. Justice couldn’t care less and he just leans on his chair while drinking some aggrus.

“What a naughty man you are.” Said Xavier while chuckling.

“I was too enraged because of my fight with my father. I need to calm down, well, looking at her and embracing her will do the trick for me.” Justice gave his reason while smirking at them.

Vale looked at him and whispered, “So, did you bring the ring?”

He took out a chain necklace under his shirt. “The ring never left my side.”

They started cheering all of a sudden, the other tables begin to notice the four of them were becoming cheery after the woman came. They know they were already losing the competition. Everyone, including the magic knights, who were having their meetings in the far corner of the room. Heirim saw how Arthur seems in shock when they saw Justice gently embrace Anne.

“You fall for her, aren’t you, captain?” Whispered Heirim to Arthur.

Arthur was trying to deflect Heirim’s question by laughing at her. “I don’t even know what are you talking about?” The other three magic knights looked at him with the same sympathy look like Heirim. A frown came into his face. “You know what? I think we need to take a break here, one hour, and go back to this table.”

Heirim and the other magic knights look at Arthur, who was trying to run away from answering the obvious question from Heirim.

“What a silly and interesting captain he was.” Muttering Heirim with an amusing smile on her face, but her head goes to see her brother, she took a deep breath and walks to the four gentlemen’s table.

Henry looks into his sister. “Heirim, what’s the matter?”

“I need to talk to you,” Heirim said to his brother. This conversation, later on, will be the turning point between these siblings, and also this story.
