183 Founding clues

“Mother! Did you know something that I don’t know?”

Justice was in the middle of having a conversation with his brother when their mother enter the study and interrupted them, knowing full well about what was happening to Javier. Liberty then asked all of them to sit, including her husband, who was with her all along.

“Javier was held captive by an unknown extremist group.” Said Liberty, while she massaged her temple.

“What about Amelia? Was she alright?” Asked Jason to Liberty.

Liberty shared glances with all of her husbands and took a sigh, “We know nothing so far, besides that they held Javier.”

Leo, one of Justice’s fathers embraced his wife, he also looks to Justice, “Son, we were sorry that you have to be handled the false infection alone, you need to know, we tried as best as we could to go back here from Erdorian.”

Erdorian is the farthest town from the capital, but also the second largest town after the capital. It takes a whole ten days to go there, and another ten days to go back to the capital. When the false infection begin to spread, they had already arrived at Erdorian, and when they came back, the whole case was already solved.

“Don’t worry, at least we solved the case now. Let’s just focus on Javier.” Justice smiled at his parents, trying to convince them that he was alright.

As the crown prince of the vast kingdom, Justice becomes an independent child almost immediately. Somehow, he knew how demanding his rank will be. The jealousy of his brothers, especially Javier, and he sometimes felt it in Jason as well. His parents sometimes forgot that he was one man alone and not a whole army.

.....

“What should we do? And why they were targeting Javier?” Asked Jason, his face full of curiosity about this ordeal.

“As for now, we don’t get any demand. They told us to wait for two days.” Ascend tells his son when he was pouring some drinks for all of them.

“Huh, that’s odd, something tells me that it was more than just gaining a rare treasure from the inside of our vault.” Said Justice with his hand rubbing on his chin, he was trying to think thoroughly about his brother’s case.

Jason looks at his brother and at his mother. “Did you know which way where Castor flew?”

Edward was the one who answered Jason’s question. “I saw him fly from the south, pretty sure about this because I was on the balcony at that time.”

“What do you think?” Asked Jason to his brother, Justice.

“Worth a try. Let’s go investigate.” Justice immediately took his coat from the sofa. “I’ll contact Vale. We need his magica.”

King Edward, hold Jason to go back into his seat. “Let me go with you, son. I need to make sure of something.” He said to Justice after he gave a kiss to his beloved wife.

Justice and Jason were puzzled by his request, but complied nonetheless. Justice and Edward took the horse, with four guards following them on the horses as well. They stop at the captain’s barrack and he asked Edward to wait for a while.

“I’ll be at the pub two blocks from here, be quick!” Said Edward to Justice. He galloped away with Justice looking at him from behind.

When he entered Vale’s room, all of them were in the living room without Anne.

“Hey, you’re back. That was fast.” Xavier said to him, while Justice looked around the room.

“Yes, I need to speak to Vale, by the way. Where’s Anne?”

Vale was looking at Justice. With a frown on his face, he answered his friend’s question, “Already back at her barrack, she begins her shift tomorrow, so I tell her to get some rest.” He shifted his body, curious about how Justice needed to see him. “What happened? Why do you need to see me?”

With a sigh, the crown prince drop himself to the sofa, “Javier, he was being kidnapped.”

Xavier, Henry, and Vale were stunned. They were focusing on him and trying to hear the whole story.

“What?! Really?! Oh my God! Justice, that was terrible!” Vale was indeed surprised. “Who in the right mind was brave enough to kidnap royalty?”

Rustling his hair, Justice then winced, “Apparently one of the extremist groups did have some balls to kidnap my brother, and I need you to help me to search for some clues.”

Xavier raised his right hand. “Hold up, Vale… Vale still needs to get his rest.”

“I am fine, Xave, I can handle this.” Vale was trying to convince his friend after the accident involving Anne.

Scoffed at Vale, Xavier glared intensely at the magi’s primary captain. “No, you’re not! I saw how…”

“Xave! I am fine!” Shouted Vale at him.

The atmosphere somehow got heavier than before. Vale was looking at Xavier, giving him a warning. Henry and Justice were afraid of getting into the two of them, while Xavier tried so hard to convince his friend. He gave up when Vale won’t budge and decided to leave the room.

“I’m getting back to my barrack, have my shift in the morning. Just… Just be careful, alright?” He looks at Vale and gave him pats on his back.

“I will, Xave, don’t worry.” Vale was smiling at him, trying to give Xavier some reassurance.

Justice looks at Henry. “What about you? Do you have your shift tomorrow?” He asked him, while they were waiting for Vale to change his clothes.

Henry shook his head. “No, I am sorry. I need to go back to my family’s home before my shifts. Keep me updated, alright?”

The two of them leave the barrack with Henry waving goodbye to them. After meeting with Edward at the pub, they continue the journey to the southern gate. Vale already cast a retrace spell and find out the bird actually flew from the southern lake.

“Are you sure Castor was coming from the lake?” Asked Edward to Vale.

Vale, with the retrace spell still active, nods his head and points at the furthest way of the lake. “Yes, his majesty, Castor flew from the other side of the lake. We need to cross the lake to find a clue.”

“What should we do?” This time, the king asked his son’s opinion on this matter.

Justice took a deep breath and then said, “Looks like we need to use the ship.”
