175 Good girl, bad girl
Xander’s eyes were wide open. He couldn’t believe Vale’s words, he turn into Rosy and asked her. “It was wrong, right miss Rosy?”
Rosy’s face begins to lose color, and she couldn’t even say anything to Xander anymore. The man himself was standing from the seat and looking into the two of them in bewilderment.
“No… For the purpose of so-called revenge, your family killed more innocent people? Did you know hundreds lost their lives, right?!” Xander grabs the bar and looks at Rosy, demanding an answer.
Rosy gave him a buttered smile. “I’ve told you that I was beyond safe, right?” She wipes her tears and talks to Vale. “It was right. The alchemist that they hired was the proof. You found him and he will definitely confess.”
“Where is he right now?” Asked Vale again.
Rosy tried to remember, thankfully she remember her last conversation with her mother, “The last time I heard, he was in hiding with my adopted family. If you go to my village, they probably will be hiding in the mountain. We have a small hunting log.”
“Alright, I’ll give the information to our chaser.” Vale almost reach the door when Rosy shouted at him.
“Wait! I have one more piece of information.”
Vale turns his attention to Rosy once more. “What is it?”
.....
“It involves someone inside the main hospital, a family I have never known. They were helping the family from the inside.” Said Rosy to Vale, her eyes then staring at the ground. “I am sorry, that’s all I have known. The rest will depend on your way to apprehend all the culprits.”
Vale let out a sigh, “I know that you have done terrible things, miss Rosy, but somehow, I do believe in Xander’s confidence in you, I do hope you will find a way to make peace in this world and be a better woman.” He then added, “I am truly sorry for my behavior earlier. Take care, miss Rosy.”
When Vale left them, he also asked for the guard on duty to follow him, which leave Xander alone with Rosy. The two of them just stand on their respective side without any words coming from their mouth. Rosy took a peaked at him and finally break the silence.
“You should go and help the primary captain. I need to get some rest, anyway.” She said to Xander while dragging her body to the bed.
Xander called for Rosy one more time, “Wait before I go. I need to say something.”
“What is it?” Rosy asked the man without even turning around.
“I… I was stunned about the crime that your family had done and probably a bit upset towards you, but… But it doesn’t mean that I wasn’t going to trust you anymore! I believe you can be better miss Rosy.” He smiles at her, even though only the back of Rosy was visible to his eyes, “Take care, and don’t give up on life.”
He walk away from the cell, but Rosy then shouted his name, “Mister Xander!” Xander stop for a moment and took a glance at Rosy, “Woo… Would you visit me sometime? I mean… if you can’t, it is fine!”
Smiling at her, he said, “Of course I will miss Rosy.”
Seems like Xander’s smile was infectious. She also smiled at him and said, “Please call me Rosy, and thank you so much for everything.”
They parted ways after the warm farewell. Afterward, Vale already sends Silver Hawk to the encampment, and Rosy is transferred to the main cell of the guard headquarters. She will be on trial first, but will gain a lighter sentence after her cooperation.
Meanwhile, at the encampment, the note from Xander was already on Justice’s hand. Nathan, Leo, and Anne were inside his tent right now. They are waiting for Henry and Xavier who went away to apprehend Rosy’s adopted parents in her village.
Anne was shocked when she heard about Rosy being captured in the capital.
“I never realized that she was capable of doing such action.” Muttered Anne. She was sitting on the sofa with a meylatee tea in her hand.
Leo scoffed at her, “She hated you, injured your hand. She even has the audacity to pick a fight with you. What’s new?”
Looking at her friend, she finds his rage to be understandable. He lost a precious partner, all because Rosy allegedly informed her associates about the group. She hold Leo’s hand, and smiled at him, “I knew very well that she hated me, but it doesn’t mean that she wasn’t a kind woman, her associates at the regional hospital told me that even though she was a quiet and reserved woman, she was a good and caring healer towards her patient.” She stirred a cup of meylatee and handed the cup to Leo, “I was convinced that Rosy has a reason for her wrongdoing, and of course, she will need to repent her fault after she was found guilty.”
Leo just went quiet and drink his meylatee tea. For now, he just wanted to see Rosy be miserable in jail. He was ready to be in front of the seat when the law officials gave her the punishment.
Justice and Nathan were standing at the war table, discussing the current condition of the patients and also the right way to be back to the capital.
“So, there were only four patients that were on bed rest, right? The rest is already in remission and will be in full health in no time.” Justice asked Nathan. He was so anxious to go back. After all, it was almost three days after the group was slaughtered and they still need to inform the main hospital.
Nathan smiled at Justice, “Don’t worry, we will be ready to go back tomorrow. The four patients, although still need to be in bed, they are strong enough to be traveling on the carriage.”
“That’s good to hear.” Justice smiled and took out a sigh of relief after hearing the news.
Suddenly, someone went inside the tent. Anne look into it and was surprised to see Henry and Xavier.
“Oh, the two of you were back already?”
They were smiling, happy to see Anne’s face as soon as they are back.
“Yes, the farmers were in hiding on some hunting log at the mountain. Thankfully, we captured them before they went deep into the woods.” Henry informed her, while Justice and Nathan walked toward the two of them.
“Wow, they are suspicious indeed.” Said Nathan while shaking his head in disbelief.
“Not just all. They were with someone else.”
A frown came into Justice’s face. “Someone else?”
“A man, and from the looks of it, he was an unregistered alchemist.” Answered Henry to Justice.
Xavier walked inside and patted Justice’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, we take all of them here. They were inside the cell right now, ready to…”
Before Xavier finished his sentence, a guard called for Justice in front of the tent, “Your majesty, Primary captain Vale’s familiar is here for you.”
“Silver Hawk? Why is he here?”
Unbeknown to all of them, Silver Hawk came bearing news about the three people inside the encampment cell, and also the suspicion of an important person inside the main hospital. All will be revealed soon.
