217 Brother and Sister (Part 1)
Anne was taking a stroll on the ship, she was alone, Leo still taking care of their senior, and the four gentlen still have a heated discussion in the war room and escorted the prisoners, according to Brom, they probably going all night strategizing for the war.
She took a sigh and looked around at the people on the deck, and sohow her eyes t with soone that she never thought to see here, on this ship. Heirim also looks at her, and surprisingly approached her, another unexpected move from Heirim that Anne couldn’t predict.
“Miss Anne.” Said Heirim, her snobbish manner still there, but Anne saw she was softened a little. Sothing happened to Heirim that makes her change her attitude towards her.
“Lady Heirim… I must say, that I never expected to see you here.” Anne doesn’t know how to react to her sudden approach. She was still uncomfortable being around here.
She took a sigh, and said to Anne, “I volunteered, if you can’t believe it though.”
That took her by surprise. “I am sorry? You… Volunteered to be the reinforcent army?”
“Don’t worry, I am not into Justice anymore, or any man for a while. I was just… trying to change my view in life.” She took a long sigh and look into the sky, and deep inside Anne’s heart, she believed her. “I saw the prisoner. All of you successfully captured Alia, huh?” Said Heirim again.
“Yes, thankfully, she ca on her own, trying to lure us, but failed.” Answered Anne to her. “I am sorry, but what happened to you?” She was curious as her instinct told her how the girl was changing. Not significant, but in a subtle kind of way.
“Ah, Heirim, there you are.”
.....
Soone calling for Heirim. From the other end of the deck, they turn around and see Arthur co towards them. Heirim bowed and smiled at Arthur.
“Captain Arthur, it was so nice to see you again. How long has it been? One year since the hoards?”
Arthur never replies and didn’t answer her also, instead he asks another question to Heirim, “What in God’s na happened here? Why they demoted you to junior second rank?!”
Even Anne couldn’t believe what she had just heard from Arthur. She silently stare at Heirim, when she explained the situation to Arthur.
“About that, I committed a cri and confessed.” Anne and Arthur were in shock, but the only thing that ca from Heirim was a smile, a tiny fragile smile. “The councilman demoted and I got a pending trial right now.” She smiled again, but Anne could see how hard for her to maintain the smile, she know, Heirim still had sothing on her mind.
“Lady Heirim, did your brother know about this?” Anne asked her, as she thought about how devastated Henry was if he heard about this.
She shakes her head. “No, but I’ll tell him everything after they were done with the eting.” Heirim looks into Anne’s again. “Please, let be the one who explained everything to my brother?”
“I understand, don’t worry.” Said Anne to her.
“Thank you, miss Anne.” When Heirim says the word, it was like a strange taste in your mouth, an unfamiliar taste.
“Alright, we need to go. Now, since you’re going to be my subordinate, go gather the magic knight and I’ll et you at the canteen, already reserve a table there.” Arthur orders her to go and she obeys imdiately.
When She was gone away, Anne’s mouth was gaping and her eyes never wave away from Heirim. Arthur looks at her and wonders, “You seem so fascinated by her.”
“Well, I know her. We entered civil serving in the sa year. She was… Well, let us just say that we were not on the best term all the ti.” Anne went quiet and then added, “She seems different, though.”
“Well, I don’t know much about her. We had t one year ago at one of the hoards. She was a very good magic knight. I was curious about what happened to her, though.” Said Arthur to Anne.
Anne then muttered, “So was I.”
Arthur excused himself from Anne, leaving her alone again, so many questions ca into her head, and she wanted to believe her so bad, but it is hard for her after how Heirim was treating her way back when they were still civil service candidates.
She took a long sigh and prefer to go into her room instead; she needs to make potions and dicines, supplying the healer’s tent for the battle later on.
“Hey, I called you, repeatedly, don’t you hear ?” Said soone from behind her.
She turns around to see Henry smiling at her. “Henry, you’re here, so, all the prisoners already on this ship?” Anne was trying to maintain her smile, trying so hard to hide Heirim’s shocking news from him.
He squinted his eyes. “What happened? You seem nervous.”
“I… I wasn’t! I just need to go back to my room. Healers are going to concoct dicine together for the supply, oh, and Justice and the others probably searching for you in the war room.” She pointed her finger to the other end of the hall, the location of the war room.
Henry was chuckling, “Alright, but, after this.” He grab Anne’s waist and took her into the corner of the hall, she kissed her passionately, while everyone walked from right to left, they were busy on each other in the dark corner, his hot breath swayed into her cheek, and his mouth demanded more of her. The scent of her is intoxicating for him. He groaned and his tongue twisted and twirled inside her.
When they were finished tasting each other, Anne knew sothing about Henry. He is an excellent kisser.
“Wow, leave it to the playboy, to sway up from my feet and take my breath away.” Said Anne with a red and swollen lip.
He caressed her lips and said, “And now, it will be forever yours and yours only.”
They laughed together after his corny but actually sweet declaration. The two of them took their ti together before Leo caught her with Henry. Turns out the other healer is already gathering at the ship’s clinic. Before Henry got away, she called for him.
“Henry, wait!”
Henry turns his head to Anne. “Yes?”
“If you are done with the eting, you need to see Heirim.” Said Anne, nervously.
A frown ca into his face. “Heirim was here?”
“Yes… She… she needs to talk to you.” Anne then excused herself right away, leaving Henry baffled by her information.
