Chapter 109

109 The Separation

Two small silver earring is tucked inside a velvet box.

“Xavier, what is this?” Asked Anne to the shy gentleman.

“Well, this is sound a bit late, but I custom-made this earring for you,” Xavier told Anne, with the small silver earring being put on Anne’s palm.

“This is for me? Oh my, Xavier, this is too much, I mean it is silver, right?” Anne felt reluctant to take the earring.

Xavier chuckles, “Anne please take it, it is actually the pieces of silver from my earring.” He gave Anne a view of his earring, there’s a chip on the left and right earring.

“Oh, your beautiful earrings, why do you have to go to such an extent?” Anne was upset, she brushed the earring that Xavier wear.

“I thought I need to do something, after the bangle from Vale, the red ruby ring from Justice, and even the crystal blade that was unintentionally paired with Henry’s crystal sword.” Muttering incoherent words, Xavier tried to explain the reason he gave her the earring.

“What crystal sword? I never knew about the crystal dagger has a pair?!” Anne was flustered, this was indeed the first time she know about Henry’s connection to her crystal blade.

“You have plenty of time to ask that playboy knight,” Xavier said to Anne, he pointed at the earring once again, “Now, the earring has some magica in it.”

.....

“Oh my God! Not your gift too...” Muttered Anne, rolling her eyes.

“No no, hear me out first, the earring will let us communicate with each other, only if you need to speak with me, same as mine.” Xavier gave her the instructions to communicate with each other, “this is a specially made earring, only two of this that successfully being made in the entire kingdom, so never revealed about this earring to anyone.”

Anne nodded her head, “Alright, I’ll wear it all the time, don’t you worry.” She proves it to Xavier by wearing the earring right away, “How do I look?” Anne asked the earring giver to show him the small piece of the item that adorned her ear.

“No, you also have a piece of me.” Said Xavier to Anne.

His hand automatically caressed her ear, and lingered on her cheek before his face demanded more than just a smile, he kissed her, softly and slowly at first.

“Now, I win your kiss as well,” Xavier smirked, even tasting his lips, the moment it separated from Anne.

“Stop...” Said Anne with flushed cheeks and a bashful face, “You’re making my lips like some kind of trophy, well the four of you did.”

Xavier’s laughed and gave her a big warm embrace, he took her face and brushes her lips, “I am sorry our dear healer, it’s just our feelings for you are strong, and as our desire consumes us more and more.”

Giggled came spontaneously, when Anne heard the corny love declaration from Xavier, “Alright, that’s enough Xavier, you already making me blush.”

His eyes still locked into her, “That’s the problem, woman, I just can’t get enough of you.” And once again, he kissed her, but this time his lips demanded more than just a sweet kiss.

The warm and full lips of the werewolf is hungry for more, Xavier groan while his tongue enters Anne’s mouth, they were dancing, the rhythm of the two lovers who thirst for each other. Anne could never tell the longing that she felt for them, it grew each day, and she couldn’t do anything to stop this.

The taste of the sweet lips of the purple hair girl gave Xavier something that he never felt for another woman in his life, he felt it grow from each touch of their kisses. He immediately withdraw himself and tried to calm down on the corner.

“Xavier? Are you... are you alright?” Anne was worried, she thought that something happened when they were kissing.

While trying to cover himself, Xavier’s laughed and tried to prevent Anne to go much further, “I’m alright, just a bit excited, that’s all.”

“Oh...” Said the girl finally understanding what come into Xavier.

They awkwardly stood in silence, until a knock came by her room once again. Anne open the door and saw Justice.

“Hey, I’m sorry but I need your blo... Xavier? What are you doing here?” Justice was baffled to see the huntsman captain.

“Err... I was just leaving now,” Said Xavier with a blushing face, he glanced at Anne once, “I’ll go and help the children to the carriage.”

Equally as shy as Xavier, Anne could only muster a few words, “Ah, yes, I’ll see you there... uhm... alright.”

After Xavier closed the door, Justice squinted his eyes and with a tilted head he smirked at Anne, “He kissed you and got excited, am I right?”

Gasping after the truth came out from Justice’s words, she tried to deny everything, “Just... shut up! Come on, I’ll let you drink my blood on the sofa, what good timing this is.”

“Indeed, now you could leave me for a few days,” He glances at the bed, “Any chance for the bed?”

“Absolutely not!” Glared Anne to the crown prince, she firmly pointed at the sofa, “Sofa, now! I am busy.”

Chuckling, Justice turned to Anne with a smile, “You know, you’re the only female in Valorian that is brave enough to bark an order to the crown prince.”

While she folded her sleeve, Anne was smiling at Justice, “Just come over here, no need for the teasing.”

“See... the only female, and the crown prince even obey.” Justice gave her a winked and sat obediently on the sofa.

One hour later, Henry, Xavier, and Vale successfully transferred all of the ill and wounded children to the carriage, there was even enough room for Henry and Anne inside.

Anne was satisfied with the makeshift carriage, “This carriage is so big, what is this originally?”

“A trunk carriage, we have to make holes for your window inside, but it’s more room for the sick children to sleep and also for you and Henry to have some rest,” Vale explained to Anne with a sense of pride on his face. The makeshift carriage was his handiwork, along with the others.

“This is more than enough, thank you, Vale!” Said Anne with a smile, she turn around to the others, “Thank you, everyone.”

Vale helped her enter the carriage, and before he released her hands, he mark the hand with a tender kiss from his lips.

“Take care of yourself, alright?”

Anne clasped his face and smiled tenderly at Vale, “I will, my magi, you take care of yourself as well.”

“I will...” Said Vale to her.

“Wait for us at the dance ceremony, we are coming to celebrate the result with you.” Said Justice to Anne.

“And the last dance will be mine, girl.” Said Xavier which makes a grin come into her face.

The brief goodbye came to an end when the three of them saw the carriage go away.

“Did you cast the spell at the carriage?” Asked Justice towards Vale.

Vale nodded his head, “Yes, I cast full protect, the carriage will be protected for two days, I’ve recharged her bangle as well.”

“Perfect, your share of the medicines is already inside your room, let’s go to the hideout, there’s much that I need to tell that stubborn old man.”

The three of them went inside the hideout, where the old man already waiting with Xander and two mysterious men.

“I was waiting for a while now, your majesty.” Said the old man to Justice, reminding him about how inefficient himself with time.

“The carriage that carrying the people that I care about was gone like minutes ago,” Justice said to the old man, he then takes a seat and stare directly into his eyes, “Frankly speaking, I don’t care if you need to wait, you... Will be waiting.”

Vale and Xavier shared a look of amusement, at the expense of how furious the old man looked. Somehow the sentiment came to Xander as well, he looks at Justice with a look of amazement.

“So, this is the crown prince from the capital? Seems so arrogant.” One of the mysterious men begins to speak.

Justice glanced at the mysterious man, “I am sorry if I came in strong, would I know the name of the man who’s speaking to me?”

“They are the two leaders of the remaining werewolf pack, including me.” The old man answered Justice’s question, giving the realization that came downing on the crown prince.

“So, it’s the truth, that the Werewolf pack was decreasing in number?” Muttered Justice.

Xander, who’s the one leaning on the pillar, finally voiced his opinion, “My uncle was never lying, you can see it with your own eyes now.”

“Yes, all I can say is that thank God that we are here, or else Xavier will be going to his death.” Said Justice looking directly at Xavier.

“So... the crown prince of the Valorian kingdom, I hope you have a good tactic for us,” Xander smirked at Justice, half teasing him.

Justice let out a sigh, “No, I don’t have any tactics for you.”

Almost everyone in the room was flabbergasted, they protested to the crown prince, and some even begin to yell at each other. Until another voice came from outside.

“Leader! There is a huge army heading into this inn!” Shouted the man from outside.

Justice smiled at the three leaders of the werewolf pack, “Now, that’s my answer to your question.”
