Chapter 219 - 219 Brother and Sister (Part 3)



“How are you doing, Heirim?” Justice asked her, feels bad because Henry doesn’t even give her any answers.

Heirim gave him a smile. “Not really good, but I can manage.” She tilted her head and actually amused by Justice’s and Anne’s interaction earlier, “I saw your lovely moment earlier, So, I guess all of you are getting officials with Miss Anne. Congratulations.”

The four of them were looking at her with such disbelief expressions. This is the first time Heirim mentioned Anne’s name in such a polite and uncondescending way. Vale’s mouth dropped. He looks at Xavier, who gives him a shrug and chuckles.

Henry, still looking at his sister, finally decides to follow her. They go outside, leaving the other three so curious.

“Woah, did you hear her? She was saying, miss Anne.” Xavier turns around to look at Justice and Vale.

Vale gave a slight chuckle. “That was surely amusing to hear.”

Justice, however, felt something was wrong with Heirim. “I don’t know. Something was happening with her, something that makes her humble.”

“Isn’t that a good thing? You always said that she was a rude and arrogant young woman. I mean, look at her now.” Xavier gave his point to justice. “She even mentioned Anne as miss Anne, not the girl or the peasant.”

.....

“Yes, I know it is a good thing, but her changing tone, just in a short amount of time. Something impacted her life severely.” Muttered Justice to the two of them.

“Whatever it is, it gets my vote. It humbles her now, and I hope it will be forever,” Xavier said, not even going to be sorry for her.

Henry and Heirim took a seat on the outside deck. It was almost empty at the moment since everyone was busy preparing for the incoming battle or just eating at the canteen. He looks at his sister and wonders why exactly she was trying so hard to talk to him.

“So, what happened? I’ve heard from Anne that you’re here.” Said Henry to her.

“Oh, she told you about me?” Heirim was a bit surprised. Never expected Anne to care about her. “A bit surprised. Did she tell you anything else?”

He felt strange but shakes his head, “No, she just told me that you’re also on this ship, and asking me to see you.”

She look down at the floor and with a bittered smile said to Henry, “She is a kind woman, and to think how I have treated her before.

Thinking about how vicious his sister was before, he took sighed and look at Heirim, “What do you need, Heirim? I mean, you asked me out here, and when we rarely even talk before.” He stared into the vast water. “We are brother and sister, but not a loving and caring one. You and father always single me out of everything, and I always envy your talent and your roles in our family.”

Heirim went quiet for a while, until she said, “Henry, I might go to jail.”

The shocking revelation from Heirim took Henry by surprise. “Are you serious?! What’s happening to you? Did father and grandfather know about this?”

“Alright, one at a time, I’ll tell you everything,” Heirim told her brother, overwhelmed by his reaction. “I… I confessed a crime that I had committed to my chief, and he accompanied me to the guard station. It was in a pending investigation. That’s why I was still free, but my department already demoted me.” She gave her brother a smile. “I’m a second-rank junior now, not captain Heirim anymore.”

“I’m guessing that you volunteered and are now under Arthur, am I right?” Said Henry to her.

“Yes, and I know what you’re thinking, I wasn’t volunteering to get a good point on my pending investigation and trial, it’s because…” She took a deep breath and her eyes stared into Henry, “I wanted to change, brother, my case really open my eyes.”

“Heirim, I still need to know, what happened?” Henry now invested so much in his sister’s story.

“Did you know about this case right now? The attempt assassination of Justice?” Heirim asked her brother, “Well, I was the one who reported about the people in this island to the empress.”

Henry was stunned. “Wait, you know all about this? Don’t tell me you’re one of them.”

“No, I don’t know the whole thing, the attempt assassination, that captain Arthur, told to every one of us, and before that, only the portion of it, because of my friendship with Amelia.” Said Heirim to Henry. She nervously continued her story. “You do know how I become her best friend after the tea party that I held not long after graduation.”

“Yes, I was in the middle of packing my things to go on my journey with grandfather.” Muttering Henry, “Forgot the guests, since I was just walking away from the room.”

“Amelia was one of them, and I tried so hard to become her best friend because of her relationship with prince Javier.” She awkwardly reminded her brother, “It was the time when I was still obsessed with Justice.” with a few giggles, Heirim continued her story. “Anyhow, we have become best friends that see each other value, her looking at my noble connection, and me looking at her closeness to royalty.”

“That’s you, alright, only befriended people with the connection.” Said Henry, so bittered at his sister.

“I know, and now I’m paying the price.” She laughed while looking at the sky, “Such an irony when I know I was in such danger, that all the people that I considered as my friend, close the door for me, not every single one of them was trying to help me. But, I guess, the crime was heinous indeed.”

“Heinous? What did you mean, Heirim?” Henry was even more confused than before.

“You know chief Carla? The one who brought the falsely infected serum to the main hospital?” Asked Heirim to Henry.

Henry nods his head. “Of course, she becomes the head of the chieftain. That’s why she was able to have brought the serum undetected, and spread it in the main hospital, making the case worsen.”

“Yes, and I was the one who used our family connection and gave the late chief Carla the highest position in the main hospital.” Said Heirim to Henry, her lips now quivering, and the tears came falling down, “Henry… I… I’ve murdered those innocent people!”
