In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

98 Into the Wolgala (Part 1)

Prince Jason was standing in the lounge room looking at his brother with a wary look. Anne and the others were curious about his early visit.

“Jason? What happened? You should be here by tomorrow morning?” Justice asked his brother, of course very curious also.

“I need to talk to you, alone.” Said Jason to Justice, he looks around and then asked his brother again, “Where’s your room? we need to talk, now!”

With concern on his mind, Justice gave him the location of his room, he then turned to see Anne and the others that he promised to tell him everything. Anne saw them enter the room, she look so concerned and hoping there was nothing happened.

“Don’t worry, he will be alright,” Vale whispered to her, trying to calm her down.

Anne nodded and smile at the rest of the people on the floor, she invite Bernard to have lunch with them, but for now, all she need to do was wait. Meanwhile, Justice and Jason have a conversation inside the room, where the crown prince sat on the bed while his brother the prince were pacing around.

“Could you just sit and be calm? What exactly happened? Seriously.” Said Justice scolding his brother, he was getting annoyed by his restlessness.

Raising his hand to Justice, Prince Jason finally gives in and goes to sit on the sofa, “My apologies, I was just so annoyed by Javier.”

“Javier? What happened with him?” Asked Justice with less curiosity than before.

.....

Jason chuckles, “He... he proposed to Amelia.”

“What?! Javier... That crazy f*ck! What was inside his mind?!” Justice was furious.

He raised his right hand and asked Justice to calm himself, “Calm down, the proposal isn’t official yet.”

Justice put his hands on his face, “Tell me, where did he propose to that snob merchant’s daughter?”

Jason took out a long sighed and answered Justice, “At dinner, last night, in front of father Edward, and mother.”

“Now he is out of his mind, in front of mother and father Edward?!” Screamed Justice, he knows very well the temper of his second brother. Javier never loved one woman, he likes to party and indulge, “He only did this to get back at me.”

“By taking Amelia as the fiance? That was stupid, everyone knew that you despised Amelia.” Jason just couldn’t believe Javier’s motive on this matter.

Looking nervous at his brother, Justice shook his head, “No, not because of Amelia, I mean every woman will do, Amelia just got lucky because she was around,” He gave Jason the real reason, “He wanted the throne by securing a potential empress, I’m not surprised if Amelia will be doing her training as the royal family soon.”

Jason smacked the chair and cursed, “D*mn! He really wants that title so much, but why? I never saw him as the man with that kind of ambition.”

“He has it for such a long time now, brother, trust me...” Justice muttered while remembering how the envy came from little Javier’s eyes whenever people praised him, or when the woman clamored over him as the crown prince, rather than his brother who stand on the corner despising him, “Every man have their own ambition, replacing me as the crown prince, is Javier’s ambition.”

“Don’t worry, he will not gets what he wants, we need to find a way to stop the official proposal,” said Jason, he looks at Justice and asked about his condition, “Did you get any information about the cure?”

Justice let out a sigh, “We did, but it’s not going to be easy I’m afraid.”

“Why? What’s the matter?” Asked Jason, and a glimpse of worry and curiosity came to him.

“In order to be free from the cursed, I need to kill the main host, the one that bites me.”

“Well, that would be hard, you said that he disappeared right after he attacked you, right? Said Jason.

Suddenly a headache came and he felt it, Justice massaged his temple while huffing his breath, “I know brother, I knew it very well, I saw that b*stard flew, while I was in agony.”

“What would you then?” Asked Jason again.

Justice looks at his brother, “I need your help with that.” He said to His brother with a smile.

“Ugh... That’s why you were so eager to meet me, so what is it?” Jason let out a sigh and focused on Justice.

“I want you to investigate any mysterious occurrence from two or one week ago until now.”

A frown came into Jason’s face, “What kind of mysterious occurrence are we talking about here?”

“People’s missing? New kind of disease? Or someone seeing a ghost or something unusual?” Said Justice with a shrug, “You know.”

Jason sighed, “Fine, I’ll take this investigation, hopefully, there will be something,” He then took a long stare at Justice, “What will you do? you can’t stay hidden in the alchemia tower forever?”

“Don’t worry, after I find Xavier, I’ll go back to the palace immediately, with someone though.” Said Justice to Jason.

“Who?”

“With Anne, she was my blood source now, I need her to stay close until we found tangible information about the main host.” Justice finally informed his brother about Anne.

“Miss Anne becoming your blood source? Your only blood source?! Are you insane?!” Jason screamed at his brother.

Feeling the need to shut his ears, Justice tried so hard to calm him, “Calm down brother, she volunteered to become my main blood source.”

“Still, why does she even think that would be a good thing to do?”

“Because I am attracted to her blood only, and she was immune, she doesn’t have the infectious disease,” Said Justice, hoping Jason will understand, “Xavier was missing, so we need to go for another expedition, please investigate any abnormality cases, and do something about Javier, will you?”

Jason already feel the abundant duty that he need to do, he took sighed and nodded at his brother, “Fine, I’ll go now since this is a very absurd case that you handed me, not the mysterious investigation, but handling Javier.”

The two brothers laughed together and Jason even eats at the table with Justice, Anne, Vale, Henry, and Bernard. He said farewell afterward, and when Bernard excused himself to check the security, Anne once again had the talk to the three of them sitting on the sofa.

“Look, I just wanted to make sure that the three of you don’t have any animosity towards each other because of me,” Said Anne. At the same time, her eyes go to look at the three of them, “Because of the bewitched spell, I know about the obsession becoming worse every day, but it doesn’t mean that all the blame will automatically go to Justice.”

Vale tried to calm Anne by smiling at her, “Anne, don’t worry, we will never...”

“No Vale, I can sense the tension between the two of you towards Justice! I mean, all of this is not his fault, he got the infectious disease and couldn’t control himself. So please... do not blame Justice.” Anne’s hands were trembling, she looks around and saw all of them looking at each other nervously, “See, you saw it, you saw the effect of the obsession begin to blind your judgment.”

“Yes we do, whenever we saw you got hurt we just can’t help to help you and hurt the assailant back,” Said Vale to Anne, “God! We are becoming crazier and crazier by the day.”

“Yes, and I must say, I almost punched Justice earlier, just because of how we have engrossed ourselves in Anne,” Henry confessed to all of them in the room.

Justice took a sip of his drink, and said, “I do know about your anger, trust me, when... when I was having my bloodlust, it wasn’t me in whole but it’s also me,” Said Justice, he opened himself because of the disease, and hopefully getting his friends to trust again, “It means, I was conscious the whole time but I don’t have the control of my body at all.”

“Wait, so you’re conscious inside your body, but you don’t have control of your body?” Anne immediately asked him, and she even begin to scribble on her note, “I need to write this, every piece of information about the disease is important.”

All of them were stunned to see Anne getting excited, Henry was amazed by it, and Justice and Vale were amused by it. She asked questions to Justice, and the crown prince happily answers all of the questions wholeheartedly. When night time is coming, all of them decided to go and have some rest, they can leave early after the sudden arrival of prince Jason.

The morning comes, and Anne and Vale are already busy in the kitchen, they prepare the food for the journey, the one-and-a-half-day journey into Wolgala, a new town for them, and actually the hometown of Xavier. After they put every case into the carriage, Justice asked the driver about another item.

“Did you bring the wolfsbane?”

The driver nodded his head, “Yes, your majesty, it was inside the small trunk.”

Anne was frowning, “Wolfsbane?”

“A weapon, well, just in case the folklore from the town is real.” Answered Henry.

“Folklore? About what?” Curiosity begins to seep into Anne.

Justice gave her a smirk, “Werewolf.”
