In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair-Chapter 211 - The heartfelt wound of king Edward

211 The heartfelt wound of king Edward

“She… She was lying. I know that mark for a second. I laid eyes on it.”

They went quiet, and you can almost hear the wind blowing until Anne asked them to wait and said that she had the proof.

Amelia, on the other hand, was furious. “She… She was lying. Who’s that peasant girl, anyway? How come she was here? Is this her house?!”

“Careful, Amelia, that girl is a healer and also my lover, so better behave,” Justice warned her while his red eyes glared at Amelia.

“Oh, really? I am sorry Justice, I don’t know. But she was wrong, this is not…”

Anne came just as soon as she could. She was wearing her leather gloves and brought with her a piece of glass and some glass vials. She put everything on the table and look around the room.

“This is my proof.” She said confidently by showing the piece of glass first. “This is a glass from the broken window by Justice’s room. The one who breaks the glass is the assailant, and guess what I slathered on the glass?” She showed another glass of vial with a clear liquid in it, and she put a plant on the table as well, “This is Kangcoon, we use the sap inside to be used as bug repellent, and the leaves are good to cure headache and tremor from heatstroke, but you probably know why you should never touch Kangcoon without wearing gloves.”

“Because of the poison from the leaves that can give you a bad rash.” Said king Edward while his eyes go to Amelia’s hand where she constantly scratches the itch that came from the rash.

“Yes, I gave her the allergy.” Said Anne with confidence in her eyes.

.....

“Amelia, how could you? I thought we were your family.” King Edward took a seat, still shocked by the revelation.

Still trying to avoid Anne’s accused, she was thrown herself to the ground and tried to hold into Edward’s hand, “No, father, she was lying. Believe me, your son is in danger! Please believe me!”

“I can give you another proof.” Said Anne calmly beginning to mix some potion and approaching Amelia. “I can cure her. In just one hour, the rash will be healed.”

Justice looks at Amelia and then turned his attention to Anne. ‘Are you sure, Anne?”

Nodding her head, she sat beside Amelia. “Yes, I am.” she was waiting for Amelia to give her the hand with the ghastly rash on it.

He looks at Amelia again to ask for her permission. “Amelia, give her your arm. If you wanted us to believe your story, you need to give your permission to use the healing salve on you.”

With a trembling lip, Amelia gave her hand that is full of rash to Anne, she slathered the arm with the salve and she can feel the difference already; the itch was almost gone, but Amelia stayed quiet and just sat quietly on the sofa.

King Edward called Anne and Justice to another room. His face was confused, and he was trying to make sense of the situation. Anne already feels sympathy for the king, knowing his daughter-in-law committed this heinous crime, and not to mention wondering about his son.

“Did you think that Javier was involved in this… This attempt assassination of you?” The king was trembling, not because he was afraid, but because he was thinking that he was probably going to fight his true son.

“To tell you the truth, I don’t know. I never close to Javier, so I never knew his temperament.” Said Justice to his father, but suddenly his hand seeks comfort by holding into Anne’s hand without king Edward noticing it.

Anne knew that Justice was sure Javier was in this. He just doesn’t want to make his father get even sadder than this. Anne squeezes his hand, giving him the comfort that he needs, while she begins to talk to king Edward.

“His majesty, let’s wait for the salve to work, and we can begin to interrogate Princess Amelia. For now, let me take care of you. I can see that you have cut wounds everywhere.” She smiles at king Edward and excused herself to take some of the medicine that she needs.

“So, you’re a lover now, huh?” Said king Edward when Anne goes away from the room. “That’s quite an improvement in just a couple of days. Good on you, son.” Please visit 𝐟𝓇eℯ𝒘𝙚𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷𝗲Ɩ. co𝓶

With a blush on his face, he chuckles and tried to warn his father to stop teasing him, “Alright, you can stop now, and don’t you ever tell mother before me, ’cause I am going to tell her myself.”

“I know son, I can see how you’re so in love with her, and I am proud of you that you have to choose a girl from your heart and how brave she is, handling everything and not being dependent on you as her man.” He smile and took a deep breath, “I just hope your mother could see how much of her real value she is.”

As soon as the words came from his father, Justice knew, he will have a hard time convincing the empress about Anne. Her mother although virtuous and a good empress, also believed in the higher value of blue blood, as a noble from birth, Empress Liberty sees that only a noblewoman could become an empress and the commoners’ value is below the noble who have the higher education and privilege life.

Justice, on the other hand, hates her other side of arrogance, that’s one of the main reasons why he loved to go on an adventure, he doesn’t want to stay inside the palace sitting side by side with her mother and her high virtue as royalty.

Anne came inside the room and treated king Edward’s wound immediately. She was also informed then that Amelia was detained inside the prison bubble and waiting for the healing salve to work. “You should take a rest his majesty, we have some time before the rash will be gone completely.”

“Yes, I guess I’ll take some shut eyes. Please wake me up in time.” He said to Anne and Justice and walk towards his room, and before he goes inside, he turn and said to his son, “I am sorry, but I do hope that the salve will not work for her.”

He knew what his father meant to say if the salve doesn’t work, then Amelia is innocent, and so does Javier. Although, the truth finally comes, when one hour later, king Edward came back to the living room and saw Amelia’s hand almost heal from the ghastly rash on her hand. He dropped to the ground and wailed.

“Oh, Javier, what did you do, son?”
