In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

173 The revenge of the fallen (Part 2)

Vale was dunking her head repeatedly into the water. Rosy was gasping for air, and her eyes pleaded for help from Xander. Feeling sorry for her, he tackled the primary captain. Getting the water magic also disappears. Rosy coughed a lot of water and finally could breathe normally.

“Are you crazy?! You could kill her.” Shouted Xander to Vale, he turn his attention to Rosy and asked her if she was alright. Rosy nodded her head, but still rubbed her chest.

“She won’t talk, that’s why I need to play hard for a bit.” Vale talked to Xander with no remorse for his action.

“Play hard?” Xander was yelling at him, his finger pointed at the young woman, “Look at her, she almost died in there. Are you insane?!”

With a cold look, Vale turn his head to Rosy and asked her, “Miss Rosy, did I almost kill you with my spell?”

There was fear on Rosy’s face. Xander doesn’t know what kind of trick Vale makes, but the girl is so terrified by now, Xander doesn’t go to let him do everything that could make great harm to Rosy. He turned his attention to Vale and asked him a favor.

“Would you let me interrogate her?”

“What? Why do you want to interrogate her? You don’t have any authority here.” Vale said with much more authority in his tone. “As the primary captain, I have the authority over every branch of the civil servants.”

Xander was desperate. This time he practically begging to Vale, “Please, let me do it my way. We don’t know if it will be working or not before I try it first, right?”

.....

Vale let out a sigh. “Fine, I will give you a chance. We need to know about her associates.”

With a sigh of relief, Xander gratefully smiles at Vale, “Thank you so much, primary captain. I’ll do my best.”

Turning his attention back to Rosy, Vale pointed at the girl and said, “I’ll call back the healer, just to make sure.”

After Vale was gone, and the healer checked on her again, Xander was sitting on the bench on the other side of the cell, the healer took a rough check and said to Xander, “Thankfully the young woman was fine, she just need a warm drink and she needs to change her clothes.” The healer look around the cell, “So, how come there was a flood inside this cell only?”

Awkwardly, Xander just gave him a grin. “Well, you see…”

The healer raised his hand. “You know what? Don’t tell me anything. I’m here just to do my duty.”

Ten minutes later, with fresh clothes and a warm soup from the guard’s kitchen, Rosy was sitting comfortably inside her cell. She looks at Xander with a curious face. The man just sitting there, doing nothing, he doesn’t talk to her or even look at her. Xander just sat and close his eyes on the bench in front of Rosy’s cell.

“Why are you so nice to me?” Rosy finally talk to him, but after the silence felt a bit uncomfortable for her.

Xander took a glance at her and gave her a warm smile. “Oh, you have a voice, after all, so how are you feeling right now?”

Glaring at him, Rosy then said, “You don’t even answer my question.”

“Oh, about being nice? I mean, why not? You’re a suspect, but it doesn’t mean we may do some harm toward you, am I right?” Said Xander again.

“Oh, you will if you know what I have done in the past.” Muttered Rosy. The warm soup in her hand already comforted her.

“Look, I don’t know what kind of crime you have done, but I never judge people based on their past.” Xander said to Rosy, his face getting closer to her inside the cell, “I believe people could change for the better, don’t you think so?”

“It probably not going to happen for me…” Said Rosy with a bittered smile on her face.

“Why? Why do you have to be so bitter about anything?” Asked Xander, with a frown on his face, “Yes, you make a big mistake, but of course, you have the time to fix the mistake that you made!”

A snicker on Rosy’s face gave a chill on Xander, she drink the warm soup and stare at the ceiling, “You know, I was so happy back then when I got my bronze pass to enter the civil service exam, my adopted parents and the villagers overjoyed by my achievement, I had a high hope that my real family finally going to accept me.” Rosy tells her story to Xander, while occasionally drinking the soup, the chilled weather still came inside the cell, “What I got was a mocked and more insulted remark, because of a girl, with a striking purple hair entered the civil service exam by getting a silver pass.”

Xander was occupied by her story now, knowing who the girl with the striking purple hair was, making him curious about Rosy’s story. “What happened with this purple hair girl?” Asked Xander, pretending that he didn’t know who Anne was.

“Oh nothing, She just got pardoned after making a fatal mistake on the first exam, and she is also being sponsored by the crown prince himself. Imagine that. She has the same story as mine, adopted from childhood, but got special treatment everywhere.” Xander could see how much envy came from Rosy’s face. She even bit her lips when the memory of Anne came into her. “What makes her so special? We have similar circumstances, but why people around her adored the girl so much?”

“Miss, that’s not a good…”

Rosy suddenly shouted and laughed, “Oh right! You probably don’t know. On the second exam, I even crushed her right hand with my feet. That’s how mad I was when I saw her face!”

Xander was speechless. He was furious at how blinded her jealousy towards Anne. On the other hand, he also felt sorry for her. In Xander’s eyes, Rosy looks like a girl that has nothing and needs to have her own light. Her envy came when she looks into a girl that already has a shining light on her own.

“You know, miss, what about if I said to you that with everything that you have just said, you can redeem yourself? There’s nothing evil inside of you, only people that have lost their way.” Xander said to Rosy, his hands held into the cell bars, and grinned into the lost girl inside the cell, “Trust me, you can have your own shine in this world as well, you just need to fix the mistake that you’ve done.”

Rosy looked at the young man with bewilderment on her face. Not long after, Xander was running as fast as he could, searching for Vale. He found him resting on one of the guard’s beds; he shakes Vale’s body, trying so hard to wake him up.

“Primary captain, please wake up!”

Gruntled at Xander, Vale then glared at Xander, “Gods! Finally, I have my rest. What do you need now?!”

“It was about the girl. I mean, miss Rosy, she… She is going to tell us everything! She is going to confess!” Shouted Xander excitedly.
