45 Without a Magica (part 2)

“I’m sorry, but what happened to Jus... I mean, your majesty the crown prince?”

Anne was nervous. She treated the wound with care, and based on her knowledge, but in her line of work, you never know what could happen.

The Chief Healer take a sigh and surprisingly, smiled at Anne. “No, miss, I just wanted to say, what you had done to the crown prince is remarkable.”

Now, she was more confused than before. “I’m sorry?” Anne tried to ask Obatto, the chief healer, once again.

“Just like I said earlier, your quick thinking prevented him from losing his arm,” Said Obatto, still smiling at Anne, “Dryad barks have a toxin that has a flesh-eating bacteria, using redonian killed all the bad bacteria, using first aid healing will never work.”

The others look at her with mixed expressions. The three-man who knows about her looks so proud and amazed by her, but not the other healers under Obatto. They have what you called curiosity and jealousy. They never saw Anne, and the chief healer was already singing praises for her.

“Oh... I... I don’t know what to say.” Said Anne, who become nervous, feel joy and was also wary. She doesn’t want to stand out. She knows the cost of becoming that person.

Obatto turned his attention to prince Jason, “Your majesty, I know it is too late to gain an entry for this year’s civil service exam. Maybe you could give her the silver pass for the next time.”

Jason glanced at the flustered purple hair girl, “Well, this young girl is already entering the exam to be a certified healer, chief healer.”

.....

“Her name is River Anne from Viora village. She’s also a recipient of a silver pass.” Added Vale.

Obatto chuckled and look so astonished by the fact, “What a piece of news! I will look into these years’ exams thoroughly.”

The chief healer leave the suite, while Anne stood there looking at the door where the chief healer just went through. Henry stood beside her, squeezing her on her shoulder. She turned her face to Henry.

“I... I wasn’t dreaming, right? He... he was praising me?” Anne tried to ask Henry, but her lips quivered, and even her hands were shaken.

“Yes, Anne, you were doing a good job. Take the win.” Said Henry to Anne.

Prince Jason goes back from inside the crown prince’s bedchamber and told them that Justice wishes to have a talk with Anne. The four of them looked at each other, a bit confused by Justice’s wishes.

“Do you mean he wanted to talk to Anne alone?” Xavier, who’s the one with fewer spoken words, finally talked after a while.

Prince Jason nodded his head, “Yes, that’s what he said, you may go inside now, miss Anne.”

Carefully entering Justice’s bedchamber, Anne closed the door and took steps into Justice, who looks at her with annoyance.

“I am not asleep. You don’t need to sneak walking!”

Couldn’t believe what she just heard. Anne looks astonished by his accusations. “I was being considerate!”

“Gods! Alright, just sit here, beside me, I need to talk to you.” Said Justice while pointing at the chair beside his bed.

“Is that an order? Your majesty?” Anne asked the crown prince, trying to be careful with her tone.

“Fine! That’s an order, and called me Justice,” Gruntled Justice, and then added some words, “That’s an order too.”

Rolling her eyes, and sitting in the chairs, Anne looks at Justice and said, “Fine, but permission to call you Justice only when there’s the two of us, Justice.”

“Oh, you want us to be alone from time to time?” A smile came on his face, a naughty smile with a lot of teasing in his words.

“I was just trying to be considerate, once again, Justice.” Anne looks annoyed, but deep down inside, she contained her fluttered heart.

For Anne, romance is not on her list right now, especially getting attention from one of the most powerful men in the kingdom. She knows Justice’s intention, and not just him. She doesn’t have much experience, but Anne knew when a man has a romantic intention toward a woman.

She was flattered, but a simple life is the one that she wants, and being a certified healer will help tremendously.

“I need to know. When did you aware of my identity?” The crown prince seems curious about how Anne recognized him as the crown prince.

Anne smiled at him. “I knew it when I saw your initials at the reserved seats, JHV, Justice H Valorian, the same initials on your insignia at my entrance exam acceptance letter.”

“That f*cking initials!” Muttered Justice.

“You have a tendency to curse a lot.” She was amused by how vulgar the crown prince is.

“I’m glad that my bad habit is amusing to you,” Said Justice with a warm smile on his face. “Could you call for Xavier, Vale, and Henry? I need to talk to the four of you.”

“Oh, you still wanted me here? I thought I was already...”

Clearing his throat, Justice avoided Anne’s eyes and said, “No, I need to talk to the other three about your lack of magica.”

“Oh my God! Justice! No, I don’t need more people to know about my problem right now!” Anne was furious. This is what she feared the most. People came and tried to help. Anne is a private person, she likes to solve her problem by herself.

“Look, why don’t you call for the three of them, and we talk about it.”

From the looks of it, Justice doesn’t take a no for an answer. Anne let out a sigh and goes outside the bedchamber to call the other three. Prince Jason had already left the suite, and there were only Xavier, Vale, and Henry in the living room.

“What happened? Why did Justice call for you?” Asked Henry, full of curiosity.

Meanwhile, Xavier and Vale were lounging on the sofa, with no words coming from their mouth. Anne nervously told them to go inside with her. They followed immediately, not even questioning our heroine.

The three of them scattered around the bed. Anne was the last person to gather.

“Listened up, I need to tell you something about Anne.” Said Justice to the three of them.

Anne closed her eyes and took a deep breath. This time there’s no coming back for her.
