177 The one who went away

Xander was eating his breakfast along with the primary captain. He end up sleeping on the sofa in Vale’s room after they had escorted Rosy to the guard post. The healer will be further questioning inside the guard post, but for the most detail, they have already been informed by Vale and Xander.

“I’ve heard from one of the chief guards that you requested a plush bed and a blanket for Rosy’s cell,” Vale asks Xander while he picks the butter from the table. He seems indifferent when he asked, but Xander knows better.

“Yes, I asked politely, if they could facilitate Rosy. I mean, miss Rosy with an ample bed and blanket, that was it.”

Sighing, Vale put his bread and butter. His eyes look directly at Xander, “I hope you know what you’re doing, Xander.”

“What? I was just being nice and caring towards…”

“Xander!” Vale shouted at him, while his face looking at the young man with a glare, “She is now a defendant in a serious case, and soon, you’re going to be called in front of the law councils to a crime against her! People will look at your behavior towards her.”

“I don’t care, really.” He said to Vale, shrugging his shoulder, “and so should you, look, I know that she was doing a very wicked thing to Anne in the past, but I think she is trying to change her way now, don’t you think so?”

Vale covers his face with his face and begins to laugh. “Oh, Xander, how gullible you are, yes I can see that the young woman tried to redeem herself, but she only redeem herself because you caught her.”

Xander was stunned. Vale has a point. She was trying so hard to get away, and after she get caught by Xander, Rosy begin to change her tune. Although he believes in her redemption way, he also can’t give her a benefit of the doubt.

.....

Sulked, he bowed his head to Vale, “I… I am sorry, you’re right, I shouldn’t give her any special treatment.”

“Seems you’re quite smitten by the young woman,” Vale asked him with a grin in his voice. He kind of like teasing Xander nowadays.

“Ugh, shut up! I was just feeling sorry for her. That was it.” Said Xander with a gruntled.

Vale sip into his caftea and then said to Xander. “You know, someone else was quite taken by you on the guard tower.”

Nervously, he looks at him and asked, “Who?”

“You know the woman guard that was helping you with the sketch? She was asking about you constantly. I got annoyed and tell her to ask you directly, but I think she was too shy, funny girl though.” Said Vale, smiling at the act that the girl was doing to get some information about Xander.

“Oh, what about you, primary captain? Don’t you get smitten by how funny she was?” Xander tried to turn the subject to him.

“No, my heart belongs to someone else. I guess no other girl will impress me as much as Anne.” He said to Xander without any hesitation.

Xander shakes his head and smiles, “Gosh, you’re already head over heels, aren’t you? And I guess my brother as well.”

“Yeah… you’re right, about me though,” Vale put his cup and sighed, “I don’t know about Xavier, he… He goes around and becomes a heavy drinker, not to mention he was flirting around.”

“Oh, don’t believe what you’ve heard about my brother, yes he was drinking a lot, but never even once he brought any woman home or even goes together alone, except for his latest case that was thankfully already being resolved.” Xander was mentioning about Yasmine and her lies.

Not long after, they heard a knock coming from the front door of his room. Vale open the door and saw Foster.

“Good morning, primary captain. I came to give you the documents about miss Rosy’s full confession.” He said to Vale while handing the man a bundle of papers.

“Oh, please come in Foster, I was in the middle of eating my breakfast. Would you like to join us?” Said Vale while he put the documents on the table in the living room.

“Oh, that would be fantastic. I was doing all the work, couldn’t even get a good rest and just biting some dried nuts for a while.”

Foster hurry himself to the table and took a whole loaf of bread for himself. Xander was glaring since he also had a big appetite. Vale was reading the documents. Seems Rosy being tell the guards the exact same story but more accurately, like how many family members that were involved. Vale also read about how secretively they had been working. That’s why she could never know about her family who was working inside the main hospital.

“The family probably already has high-rank officials inside the main hospital. That’s why they can start their revenge plan.” Muttered Vale. He can seem to think of anyone that could be related to the fallen noble.

A big gust of wind suddenly came from the open window. Vale protected the document and saw Silver Hawk perch in his place.

‘Master, I have some urgent news from your majesty. You need to apprehend chief Clara as soon as possible. She was the main culprit in the distribution of the new gaaram wood ashes.’

All three of them stand up from their seats. Vale asked his familiar once again, “So, it has been confirmed? Are you sure that was Justice has been saying to you?”

‘Yes, master, go and took chief Clara into custody immediately. That was his order.’ Silver Hawk said to his master when Vale saw how exhausted the big bird was.

He put his hand on Silver Hawk’s head, and restore his energy. “Thank you, Silver Hawk. Now you can take some rest.”

He put on his magi cloak and, together with Xander and Foster, they are heading into the main hospital. The main hospital is still in shambles but because of Vale’s order, they have already removed the trace of every gaaram wood ashes. He was hoping that his sudden act will never alert the main culprit.

They run towards chief Clara’s office and were surprised to see the office was empty, not just because she wasn’t there, but her belongings also missing from her desk.

“Sh*t! she was gone already!” Cursed Vale, he turns to Xander and gave him an order, “Go to everyone inside this main hospital, asked them where the chief was right now.”

“Affirmative!” Said Xander, he run to get more information, while Foster was trying to find any chief that may be aware of chief Clara’s whereabouts.

Not long after, one of the helpers had a clue about chief Clara.

“I saw her just a couple of hours ago. She was in a hurry to pack her items and go away with her private carriage.”

“Do you know which way she was going?” Asked Foster to her.

“Yes, she goes towards the east gate.”

The three of them thank the helper and they once again ride their horses to the east gate. Foster warned Xander and Vale that once they go outside the east gate, it will be a possibility to encounter the dark and mischievous road.

“We need to take the risk! Do not let the chief go away!” Shouted Vale. His face was so tense but Vale make a promise that he will get the woman no matter what it takes.
