mein blume

C H A P T E R 7

"This is Hemilia Gran, some of you know her or not but she will be joining you." Rhyker said while rubbing my back softly, we were very close, please can mistake us as being in a couple. It made me insecure but he won't let me go since he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Have fun, mein blume." He whispered in my ear and let go of me with a smirk, he pulled a card out of his pocket.

(my flower)

"You can take this if you want to visit the royal library, it will give you access to every room here in the castle." He said giving me the golden card, I smiled and nodded.

"I hope you will treat her with respect since she's been picked by the king." He stated the last unnecessary words, I rolled my eyes when I heard gasp and gossip out of their words.

"She's the chosen one!" A guy whispered to his friends.

"Damn she's hot." Another one said making Rhyker scowled and clenched his fist.

"My highness, you have a meeting right now." A guard looking scrawny bowed to Rhyker who nodded passively. He turned toward me and ruffled my hair as he walked back to the door. I frowned and looked at the people in front of me bowing. I realize that I just disrespected him and bowed immediately until he went out.

After I heard the door close, I looked up and saw the people that I will be working for 5 months.

"Hemilia, take a seat beside Hervel." The physician who was sitting at the head of the table said, I nodded and sat next to a man who was staring straight at the physician.

What's wrong with him?

"I understand why the king took a liking to you, since you are the brave woman who took that course and presented such an amazing presentation." The head of physician smiled softly, I smiled back nervously. I earned snarky glanced and scoffs by some of them. I rolled my eyes and kept my eyes straight, looking confident.

Those bitches don't who they are dealing with.

"Bro, I think this woman should stay at home working her ass off to please her sugar daddy." A man whispered out of nowhere to his friends, his friends chuckled mischievously.

I want to kill them.

"Anyway let's just get started, shall we?" The head of physician, grabbing a large folder at the center and stood up with a stick in his hand.

I went through worse so I didn't care about it, their sexist remarks and stupid comments.

I wanted to pay the embarrassment so what I did is since there is a cloth underneath the table. I hide my hand under the table and started to make some magic. I closed my eyes since every time I use magic, my eyes turn red for some reason.

I focused on my power, feeling the wind coming forward. I felt the strong magic going inside of my body and then as I expected I heard a loud fart noise coming from the man who earlier said rude comments.

Using my magic, I faked a fart coming from him. Farts are usually from the gaz in our stomach, I used the wind to make it like an explosion, it doesn't stink but it will make a noise.

"Ren, I think you are the one who farted. Do you want to go the bathroom?" The head physician asked as he pinched his nose to not get the smell.

"N-no." He stuttered, looking away with his face full of embarrassment. If only phones were allowed then I wouldn't mind using my phone to take a pic.

"You did a good job, princess." Someone whispered next to me, I remembered the voice. It was the man named Hervel, wait he's not Hervel.

He's Ashton, his deep voice with tobacco in his breath. Ashton smirked at me and placed a finger in between his lips.

Is that is power?

I need to ask him more informations.

"This is rubbish." He whispered to me, his eyes full of annoyance.

What the fuck is he doing here then?

"What are you doing here?" I asked, ignoring the head physician telling us the rules here.

"Our highness wanted me to protect you." He replied to me as he leaned back in his chair and throw his hands in the air to stretch.

"But why?"

He turned his head toward me and looked deeply in my eyes, the unknown face staring at me. It's weird to know that this is Ashton and not Hervel which I don't know him.

"I tell you that later." He grumbled and closed his eyes for a moment.

"Ash-Hervel!" I shook his shoulder brutally but he isn't moving, did he fell asleep already?

Great, I'm alone.

"Hey I'm home!" Coming to my home in rush, I collected the syringe from my sister that she trusted me to keep this.

"What happened? Justin again have a emotion break down?" Faine asked standing up frantically.

"Yeah the professor told me, I need to check him." I said breathlessly.

I got a call from the professor that Justin was beating someone while I was walking to the academia. I ran to my dormitory to get the syringe and the pills.

"I will come with you." She nodded and followed me to medical wing, it's close to the dormitory so it took us 3 min, then I ran to the hall where patients are and walked quickly to the white cell where guards are around.

"Please let me in, I can control him." I begged to the guard to let me get inside, they nodded and freed the cell for me. I get in and looked at him punching the wall non stop, with his bloody fist. I ran toward him and injected the syringe in his neck. He stopped and fell down on the ground.

Fortunately Faine was there before he can hit his head on the ground, she put his head on his lap and I throw the pills in his mouth and then help him drink the water while he's unconscious.

Justin have anger issues, when someone confront him about his past or insult his loved ones, he will break down and probably murder the person. My sister Camélia didn't want to leave him but she had to since she's the first commander of the army. I promised her that I will take care of Justin even Faine promised her too.

"Hemilia, Faine." The principal of the academy comes in, fuck.

"Mr Sherley." I started.

"Can we talk in private? Please?" I asked looking at Justin who is unconscious, it's my job since she isn't here to take care of him.

"Of course Hemilia." I looked at Faine who nodded and brush his cheek comfortably. I get up and glared at those guards who glared back at me.

I followed the principal and once we reached his office, he guided me to the seat in front of him. I sat on it and waited for him to seat.

"Hemilia, I don't think he could be here an—"

"Please don't finish the sentence, give him a chance." I interrupted him before he can finish it, I know what is he going to say.

"His mental illness is bothering the academy, do you know what he broke this time? A human nose! The victim was sent to the hospital quickly." He raised his voice at me.

"It's not his fault, he's trying sir, he's really trying!" I said while biting my lips, I can't let him get expelled!

"He's improving, I wasn't here that's why he's like this could you maybe transfer his internship to the palace?" I asked him a favor, I can watch him closely if he's at the palace.

"Are you asking me to do the worst thing?" He widened his eyes in shock. What is he talking about? Justin is the first person in his class and he's intelligent although he didn't submit his internship to the palace because he was scared of having another break down.

"He will be fine with me, please I'm begging you." I held my hands tightly and kneeled down.

His eyes staring at me with pity, he huffed and swat his hand.

"Alright."

I smiled and nodded happily, "thank you, sir!"

"You can go." He rolled his eyes and I skipped to the exit with happiness.

It means that he gave a third chance to Justin, he will be so happy but I have to make sure that he doesn't do this again or else his career will fall.

He always wanted to be physician but was scared to do it since he blamed it on his mental illness but I told him this doesn't mean that he have to give up. He can do this, I'm sure of it.
