209 The silence trap

“Javier, what about him?”

Xavier was frowning. This is news for him, while Xander looked at him with a shrug. “She told me that the prince was actually renting a room for a while at the inn.”

“Really? And how’s his condition? Battered or stressful?” Asked Xavier to Xander.

“I don’t know about that though, but she knew about this because she was the one who would carry his food to the room.” Xander answered him while yawning, “God, I was so tired, you know. That girl of yours was actually a bit bossy.”

A grin came over his face. “She is bossy, I admit it, pretty hot though.”

Xander’s head turns to look at his brother. “Wait, you’re not going to deny it anymore? You used to give me a bunch of sh*t if I reminded you about Anne, but now, you…” He finally knew something happened, and his finger pointed at his brother, “You… the two of you finally making it official, am I right?”

A bit flustered, Xavier then tells Xander, “Well, the four of us are with her, all of us are finally in a relationship with her.”

“A huntsman captain, who happened to be a werewolf, a talented primary captain of magi, who is also talented with his magica. Not to mention, a prominent noble, and a knight captain, plus! The crown prince of this kingdom!” Xander’s laughter almost gave Xavier chuckles. He shakes his hand and looks into Xavier, “She is the one, huh? A lucky young woman indeed.”

“Hey, she wasn’t the only one who got lucky.” Said Xavier, warning his brother.

.....

“I know, I know. The four of you are also lucky to have her.” Said Xander while rolling his eyes.

They have some quality time together, something that Xavier was doing for two years after their fallout because of the werewolf case, but now, as Xander has his job in the capital, they tried to make time to be together, just like this.

Xavier can’t get Xander’s story out of his mind, “Hey, about Javier, when did he leave the inn?”

Xander tried to remember his conversation with the innkeeper girl. “Oh, two days ago? He just disappears, and the girl never knows why.”

“Really? Two days ago, huh? Strange indeed.” Muttered Xavier, he decided to tell this news to the others, “I’ll go inside, just howl if you said a suspicious movement.”

“What?! I thought you were going to stay. Ugh, at least bring some food. I’m starving.” He was grumpy when Xavier already jump into the ground below.

Xavier enter the house and saw Justice and Vale having a conversation in the living room. They felt it was a bit odd to see Xavier.

“Hey, I thought you were going to accompany your brother until morning?” Asked justice, a glass of moomilk is in his hand, and Xavier just winced, thinking it was probably out-of-date moomilk. He chuckles and said, “Relax, Vale enchanted the moomilk, it is fresh again.”

Glaring at his friend, Xavier just couldn’t believe him. “Why don’t you say so? I was so thirsty and hungry.” He pours a glass of the moomilk and a piece of bread, he chugs the moomilk, and eats the bread, not long after, he spat the bread from his mouth, “Wait, the bread it’s still stale bread!”

Justice and Vale calmly looked at him. “Well, we never said I’ve enchanted the bread as well.” Said Vale while he gave him a wicked grin.

Cursing at his two friends, Xavier drops himself to the sofa. He pours another moomilk. “You two need to grow up, seriously!”

“Oh, come on Xavier, it was a harmless doing,” said the primary captain of the magi, his hand touching the stale bread and his eyes glowing, he enchanted the bread, giving it the time back when the bread was still fresh from the oven.

The aromatic bread hits everyone’s nose, and they munch the bread while remaining themselves to give Anne and Xander some of the bread and the moomilk. Vale took the rest of the bread and the moomilk to the kitchen. Xavier looks at Justice and tells him about Xander’s information.

“Javier? Really? So, he wasn’t kidnapped?” Asked Justice to him.

Xavier shakes his head. “No, I don’t know about this. He was there for a month and the girl that informed Xander told him that there were no other people who can enter the room besides her. Not to mention they gave her a large sum of coins for the secrecy.”

Thinking hard about the information, Justice stared at the ground. “So, he is probably being kept inside the inn, but why do they need to move him away?”

“Maybe because we were so close to him by now? Or maybe for the other reason? I don’t know, Justice, this whole thing was something else.” Xavier shakes his head. He never becomes the one who could be thinking hard. He put a soft punch into his friend’s arm, “Hey, best of you to take a rest. I’ll be heading out for now, bringing food for Xander and finally accompanying him. That man gets lonely too much.”

Scoffing, they both laugh at Xander’s personality. Vale and Justice go to Anne’s room. They took a chair and never left her side, while Xavier was on the roof with Xander. When morning comes, the werewolves sniff something in the air.

“Brother! It’s blood.” Said Xander to his brother, Xavier.

They jump from the roof and go to where the trace of the smell comes from. How shocked they were to see Henry, Arthur, and king Edward came along with a young woman. Xavier recognized the woman.

“Amelia?!” Said, Xavier.

It was indeed Amelia, the wife of prince Javier. She was injured and there was a ghastly rash on her right hand. She wears a cape to hide her face, even though it was almost unrecognizable right now, the rash already spread into her right cheek.

They took her inside the house, where Justice and Vale look horrified.

“What happened? Where’s Javier?” Asked Justice to his father.

“I can’t find him, instead I found her, when we were trying to go back to the house, she was already chasing us.” Said king Edward to the others.

Amelia was looking around the room and with tears in her eyes, she plead to all of them, “Please, safe Javier, we need to go to the port right away, they are going to kill him!”

“What?! Why you didn’t say so before?!” King Edward then asked everyone to join him, “We need to rescue Javier, right now.”

“But, without the reinforcement, it would be a futile attempt, father.” Justice trying to convince his father.

Panic sets in. King Edward was desperate, while Amelia keeps crying for them to go to the port as soon as possible.

“No! Stay! It was a trap.” They went quiet and turn around to see Anne, she points her finger at Amelia. “She… she was lying. She doesn’t get the rash because she got tortured.”

King Edward looked at Anne with a frown on his face. “Why do you say so?”

“Because I was the one who gave her that rash!” Answered Anne, while her eyes keep focusing on Amelia.
