In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

176 The Alchemist named Medley

Everyone was baffled to see Silver Hawk here in Justice’s tent. Henry and Justice look at one another, while Xavier put Silver Hawk on the war table. He also asked for someone to bring him water and food. On the glimpse, he saw the bird was exhausted, which means he was trying to get here as quickly as possible.

Anne handed him a cup of water and whispered, “I’ve already asked for some small chunk of meat from the kitchen helper.”

“Thank you, Anne,” Xavier said gratefully to her. His fingers brushed into her fingers, and he could see a little blush on Anne’s cheek. Somehow, it makes him happy. Happy that he still has some effect on her.

Justice on the other hand, was busy interrogating Silver Hawk, he sat on his desk chair and clasp his hand together while his eyes look into the huge bird, “So, tell me, what kind of urgent message that Vale had for us?”

Silver Hawk drinks the water first and then speaks to Justice, ‘Your majesty, it has been confirmed that miss Rosy is part of the fallen noble, the Bacardy family in fact was the cause of the false information about the new variant of moskeet fever.”

Everyone besides Justice and Anne was stunned to hear this information. The two of them seem to have some inkling about this. The crown prince took a glance at Anne and then asked her.

“You knew about this, right?”

Anne looked at him and nodded her head. “Just an instinct, though. I feel that this illness was too good to be just some coincidence, not to mention the incident that happened. They want to cover this up, of course.”

“Good instinct,” Praised Justice to our heroine, who seems a bit flustered by Justice applauded.

.....

This day, Anne couldn’t contain her feelings towards the four of them, how Vale’s kindness had touched her, Henry’s brash but caring attitude, Xavier’s aloof but protective behavior, and then there’s the crown prince, who seems uncaring and cold, but always the first one who noticed her presence,

She needs to fight this feeling. After the witch of the mountain, she never had any confidence to be closer to them anymore, although she need to remind them that they are friends, at this point, Anne was already lying to herself.

Silver Hawk continues to convey the message, ‘My master also said that the adopted family were supplying the Bacardy family from their farms, along with herbs and plants.’

“I guess it was their way to feed their army with no added expenses.” Said Henry, like Justice, who knows everything about the so-called fallen noble. He also knew about the Bacardy family. “Count Bacardy, one of the merchant nobles, gained their wealth by their way distributing farm products to every corner of the kingdom. My grandfather told me their story once.”

Anne was curious. “What happened to the family that makes them condemned to the commoner’s rank?”

“Chain corruptions.” Answered Justice, he was leaning on his chair, when he also remembered the story of the Bacardy family, “They were a corrupted family that amass their wealth by taking little by little products from the capital supplies, all the family was in these unforgivable acts.” He turns his attention back to Anne. “Did you know, when my father, the crown prince at that time, knew about this act, they already gained a fortune more than the royalty.”

“That many?!” Anne almost lost her voice because of how loud she screamed.

Understandable to Justice, everyone who heard about this story for the first time probably will react the same as Anne. “Four generations of corruptors. They were sneaky, but my father was able to reveal their crime, along with Henry’s father.”

An admiration came onto Anne’s face, she look at Justice and Henry back and forth. “You need to tell me about this story sometimes.”

“It was just some boring story about my father.” Said Henry, while he put the bowl of meat chunks in front of Silver Hawk. “Come on, we need to question the farmers and the alchemist.”

As usual, Henry tried to ignore Anne, sometimes it was a failed attempt and he end up walking to the healer’s tent to get a glimpse of her, but some other times, this kind of thing happened, he just couldn’t sort of his feelings towards Anne just yet.

Leo held onto Anne’s shoulder, “We should go back to the tent, there are so many things that we need to do.”

“You’re right, we need to do our best for the patients as well.” She was smiling at Leo, and together they excused themselves from the tent.

“Seriously, Henry, you should be a bit polite towards her, what exactly is wrong with you?” Xavier just couldn’t believe himself when he looks at Henry being hot and cold at Anne, “Just choose already, do you want her, or you don’t?”

Xavier gruntled while he walked away, while Justice just took a sigh and patted Henry’s back. As for the knight captain, he also doesn’t know the answer for himself. Xavier, Henry, Nathan, and Justice were inside the cell tower, staring at the frightened farmers and their wife. Another man was sleeping in the corner bed. He doesn’t care about his situation.

“Please… We know nothing about their wrongdoing, your majesty…” Said one farmer, he was trembling and tears came into his eyes, “We… we of course adopted Rosy as our daughter and exchanged her with farm products and herbs, but that was it.”

“Liar! You also supplied them with plants, some of them were poisonous plants!” Xavier was good for becoming a threatening individual, he was tall and muscular, and with his black long hair, almost every man will cower in front of him.

The poor men even embraced each other. They cried that they never questioned the family about the supplies and they just wanted Rosy because they didn’t have children of their own. The other man then begins to speak.

“You will get nothing from them, you know.” Said the man.

Justice look at the man. He was a bit older than him, but his laid-back attitude made him look younger. “Why do you think so?” Asked Justice to the alchemist.

He finally turn his head to all of them, “Because it was the truth, they just knew about their crime recently, when it was too late for them.” He scratches his head and said, “Let this poor fellow go. I knew everything about Bacardy’s family plan, and I was the alchemist who invented the false new variant.”

“I will never promise that the farmers will be free, but rest assured I will do the best I could to help them,” Justice said to the man, he was telling the truth, he couldn’t negotiate their freedom, since the case will fall to the guards and then stand trial in front of the councils.

“That should be good enough. My name is Medley, the unregistered alchemist that they hired to make a poison that could resemble a disease. After I successfully created the poison, they call for their family, who was a healer in the main hospital.”

All four of them were distraught by this information. Nathan even approached the man and tried to pry for more answers.

“What? A healer in the main hospital?” Asked Nathan to the alchemist.

“Sorry, I never met the healer. They were a close-knit family and always treated me like an outsider. I just gave them the samples, and they were handling the rest.” Said Medley to all of them.

“What kind of samples that you gave to the Bacardy?” Asked Nathan again.

Medley tried to remember the first sample, “It was a black sooth, at first there will be no harm to healthy people, but if it’s got into contact with the moskeet fever, it will worsen the effect.”

Nathan’s hand was trembling, he turn his head to Justice. “Your majesty, I know who’s the culprit that gave this poison in the main hospital.”
