Chapter 11
The party was still in full swing5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPiksvkbj2
once Alex and Vander left the Inn. Shea had been waiting patiently and even5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOq729koBI
Right and Left seemed sad to see her go. Alex didn’t say a word the entire trip5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOsC1Wsdyz
back into the Eastern District, even when they parted, he just headed towards5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKOqAMOdzH
the middle ring not even saying goodnight. He didn’t blame Alex, the first time5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n6E8FsBTm
he had gone to the warehouse and seen the pit wasn’t a happy experience either.5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm22mIZ6dT0
The fact the King allowed something like this was even more of a surprise, but5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrhLXFYy6w
it was above their pay grade to know why. However, there was one thing that5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsomkcomdrh
Ross had said that played over and over in his mind. There was a traitor within5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9OCkPU0rA
the Blades.
He didn’t know how Ross found that5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZmoXcz0sX
out, but he wasn’t one to disregard warnings, not if it had come from him. They5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyN8BU0ZkR
had done business in the past and in the beginning, he had been skeptical, but5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEwSSJvocz
Ross’s warnings and advice almost always came true. He would be an idiot not to5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvXgO0nXxm
take the warning seriously, but for the life of him he couldn’t figure out who5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxRE89xLfM
it could be. Guess if it was going to be easy, he wouldn’t have needed Ross to5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkOqpi1o3D
tell him. He would have to discuss everything he had been told with his5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvs7ht2M82
grandfather, and the King, tomorrow. For now, he needed rest.
The Inn was quiet by the time the5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuxlzodQkK
two of them arrived back. Not even Julianna the workaholic was awake, the5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WjWCX9ePZ
embers in the fireplace gave off little more than a slight glow. The two of5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8FfqVPAP4
them slowly walked up the stairs being careful not to disturb the sleepers.5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2BKBP8MAU
When they got to their room, he pushed the door open, and Shea trotted inside.5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTqIH0eVGO
She sniffed around for a moment before jumping up on the bed, finding her spot,5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4dqiuxWat
then curling up into a ball. He followed suit shortly after, crawling under the5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGCMnccZEj
covers and passing out almost immediately.
When he awoke, he knew he was5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaSoKBaYhS
somewhere else. It was the cold air that surrounded him or the sight of weeping5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsMgIy2pGg
cobblestone. No, it was the smell of rot and decay. Looking around he saw5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9jeU4SLuT
himself standing in a dimly lit chamber that was cylindrical. There were5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRJvYs8lR5
torches above his heads, and they were so close he could reach up and touch5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIZyhAPsn2
them. Curiously, in the dead center of the room was a podium which was holding5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BpfsgRbz9
a book. Walking over to it, he realized it was in a language he didn’t5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3IiT3lsX9
recognize. As he reached out to touch it, a cough woke him up from his trance.
“I wouldn’t touch that if I were5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB21Tb3oHs
you.” an elderly voice spoke. Facing the sound of the voice, Vander spotted5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E5aJD4Z54
an old man white long white hair chained to the wall. There was a slight5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyOOXjZwcY
radiant aura coming from within the body, but it was weak, barely alive.5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBlSO0c2Xb
Instinctively he knew who it was even though it was hard to believe.
“Veyar.” Vander bowed his head5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyFmfYOUde
before dropping down to one knee. “Are you the one who summoned me?” The5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5ATHMN1sZ
old man nodded his head. “Why? Where are we?”
“I do not know.” Veyar5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8CLKCruic
admitted. Vander found that hard to believe. The father of all the deities knew5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17n4yx2b3j
everything, at least he was supposed to. “I was brought here unconscious, I5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtZFMdj25v
had no idea I had even been taken until I woke up chained to these walls, my5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVbnm1RvdT
power stripped from my body.”
“Do you need me to free you?”5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhZaojsSXg
Vander asked. He suddenly felt very foolish as Veyar went through back his head5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVDzsaRiDP
and laughed.
“There is nothing you can do for5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKJhnl1HtZ
me here but thank you for offering.” The deity looked amused. “I have5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkDab6KLYO
brought you here to deliver a warning. You are in great danger as is everyone5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3JrmCB4vu
around you. Keep hold of your secret, tell no one, or all will be lost.” Vander5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJxeHRiI4n
was confused.
“Who is after me?” He asked.5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfpgqoRI4i
Veyar craned his head as if he were listening for someone.
“There is no time, he will be here5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YuKnUS1El
soon.” He sounded afraid. “Beware the false sun, Vander. Beware.” Before he could ask anything else, Vander’s5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRCOi6PsvI
sight went dark.
He bolted up out of bed dripping5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KW9NOJBWR
with sweat. Shea was still snoring next to him oblivious to what had happened5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDORpZr3cK
during the night. He wouldn’t have believed it happened if he didn’t smell the5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJVplRSfHh
power lingering in the air. Veyar was supposedly the strongest of the Deities,5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcImyrDCdBR
his equal was Imitae, so how had he been captured and why couldn’t he escape? All5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC36MurUgvP
these questions, but the one that mattered most was who was after him. He was5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4VcULtKsW
told to ‘beware the false sun’, it wasn’t much to go on. He would just have to5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B0aI0TYip
file it away under ‘mysteries’ and leave it at that.
He swung his feet out from under5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbEaojKB9U
the covers placing them on the cool floor. Azta hasn’t risen yet, but the sky5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXPSaiKt2g
was turning a bright pink. He had only been asleep for a few hours, but despite5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc0w4xpMDI
how he felt, he had work to do. Today was the day he was supposed to train the5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ831cJJXM9o
recruits. Hopefully Alex had got them ready, and they would be waiting for him5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9Yjhqm2ZG
by the time he arrived at the castle grounds.
He left Shea sleeping on the bed.5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNcKwUoeLZ
She didn’t like getting up early if she didn’t have to and Julianna would take5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJETLmmMGQ
care of her while he was gone. He slipped on his uniform, clipped his sword to5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwjOzEJaPx
his belt and left.
Dawn was the time of day when Unna5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFkcprllbw
was her weakest. Hunters, especially animals, were most active at night to5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDbsWLbuMy
hunt, fuck, and whatever it is they did during the night. It was now when5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtJyBhCaM9
Vander was at his calmest, when her powers deep inside of him slumbered. He was5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EnxQXrTFw
capable of rational thought and not letting those powers cloud his judgement.5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6BBgh0V8E
This was also when he was at his weakest. Without the strength of her powers,5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcowVEOG7yc
he was close to defenseless, which was all someone needed to take him out.
He was blindsided from the alley5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt1hKT9XET
next to him. Someone grabbed him by the arm and threw him against the building.5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSjS8Hm8kR
Vander brought his arm up to block the next strike, but it snaked past his guard5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0uR1GBuxR
hitting him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, but that was short lived.5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2Z5kiU3Uo
Someone wrenched his neck back and his arms were pulled behind him. He tried to5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZSKkeP0E8
stand, but someone kicked out his knees bringing him down.
“The hell do you want?” He hissed5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgZLpxJBBs
out in pain. He could smell three distinctive scents, but he had a feeling5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ542UMYjVd3
there were a couple of more where he couldn’t see them.
“Is this him?” Someone said, a5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lVqIfwKyn
woman. There was nothing distinct about her, not that he could tell with his5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPdu9qq5h2
weakening powers.
“Not sure.” Someone said, a male5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy3c2BdFbI
this time. “I expected more of a fight from him. But he has the look we were5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN15AbFmBnn
told about.”
“Even if it’s not, kill him.” A5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPveGqfc0Y
third person said. “Better safe than sorry.” He heard a knife being drawn from5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG5owH9WOn
a sheath.
“Nothing personal.” The woman5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk44lkCfGTO
said. Vander let out a deep guttural growl and lunged forward. Whoever was5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIzoXHqc0E
holding his arms didn’t do a good job. He was startled by the sudden savagery5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ6MghEJ9Z
Vander showed that he didn’t keep a good grip allowing him to slip through. He5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9uWLoaJFc
attacked the woman in front of him, hitting her jaw, sending her sprawling5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDDoj6EGpO
backwards. As he suspected, two people jumped out from the shadows drawing5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvxKzq7cit
wicked looking scimitars as Vander charged them. However, he was too quick. He5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCVopV2PNP
slammed the hilt of one back into the sheath then using the momentum to kick5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGEOuTj15X
the other one in the jaw knocked him unconscious. He landed behind the other5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQiU3qdTBd
one and drew a knife from his belt holding it against their throat.
“Who are you?” He shouted. He5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW4A6xbW1F
pressed the dagger against the assassin’s throat drawing blood with the edge.
“You ruined our plan.” Vander felt5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS23KEfCzz
as though the man he was holding was grinning. “Now you will pay.” The man5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtU7kU0bTv
grabbed Vander’s arm and pushed the knife deeper into his own neck. He gurgled5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukG1IwHXs5
mouthfuls of blood before falling to his knees, dying. Vander quickly drew his5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddD8oIAvDc
sword as three knives covered with poison flew headed straight for his chest.
He knocked two of the knives away,5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJyRG2mojS
spinning out into the darkness. The third he grabbed by the handle and threw it5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHfHjDFweu
back at the sender. She yelled out with a scream and crumbled to the ground. One5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEvwRsoC4j
of the assassins drew their scimitar and lunged at him. Vander brought his5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lly17uMxr
weapon up to counter the strike. He parried and slashed, forcing the assailant5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xvej9wNg2
on his back foot. The assailant lunged forward attempting to take Vander5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wtuv8tWb5
through the side, but he dodged sideways. The momentum carried the man into5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApGFuooCx1
range of Vander’s sword which decapitated him spraying blood everywhere.
“Then there were two.” Vander5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2IfFg6Fez
smiled. He wiped the blood from his sword eyeing the man in front of him. He5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vwf7HdoG7
was tending to the woman who had the poisoned knife embedded in her arm. He5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s3o8hNQQR
crushed something in his hand then dripped it into her throat. Her face visibly5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgdxQZUbWA
relaxed as he ripped the knife from her arm.
“You are a lot stronger than we5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbXJZ9oDoy
were told.” The man said, cradling the woman in his arms as he stood. “This is5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlU2WVcHTB
your victory.” The man Vander had kicked slowly got to his feet. His breath was5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYep4kpNEY
labored. He had likely broken a couple of ribs.
“You attack me, and you think I’ll5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShCJyKmdIJ
let you go?” Vander laughed. “You’re sadly mistaken. You will die here, and I5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNUMnzuqod
will take that girl with me for interrogation.” The man behind him rushed5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPduDuDH9JG
forward, grabbed Vander around the neck with his arm. Vander brought his arm5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTsrPsep3h
back, nailing him in his already broken ribs, causing him to cough up blood.5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcwOv7W3mt
However, he did not let go.
“Run, I’ll hold him back.” He spoke.5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6RBeqskb1
The assassin nodded his head then jumped onto the windowsill of the building5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT3TbWEqrH
next to us then crawled out of sight. Vander knew he could catch him, but he5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y6jwSrByh
would have to get rid of this guy first.
“Get off me.” Vander snapped. He5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUejnowyq3
brought his head back crushing the nose of the assassin then he grabbed his5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYiEghUDcf
head then threw him overhead. His back slammed onto the ground and before he5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5ZXR2Zdlh
could rise, Vander nailed him in the jaw knocking him out. “Shit.” He had5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVCGO5H95K
wasted too much time and in this current state he wouldn’t be able to chase the5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tdlMhYGY5
two of them. So, he leaned up against the wall and waited for backup to arrive.
Someone must have called the5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPgzggKBYp
guards because they arrived ten minutes later, which allowed Vander to catch5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU2Bs7ot0U
his breath and think about what had just happened. Based on the way they were5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmSX16uf8C
talking; someone had put a hit out on him It seemed to be the same group that5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbA5pjN79l
had killed Nigel after he had been discovered. There was no proof to that5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIZnujtPTk
claim, but based on the fact they were using the same style of weapons, including5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthxE3NPw1B
poison, and their style seemed to be ambush, it was likely them. However, were5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvfcDCwyA2
they Green Serpents or another group entirely? He would have to wait for5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgBxvkRUW6
sleeping beauty to wake up first, but before that. He opened the unconscious5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr1KntkPAm
assassin’s mouth and rooted around until he found what he was looking for. He5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlkiB0RmeA
ripped out a fake tooth with a poison capsule hiding inside.
Assassins were5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBvx0Ifw6Q
all the same.
“Sir?” Vander looked up to see5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3clzeWdvC
Jeffery Jilena standing there surrounded by other soldiers. “The hell happened5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPSZnB1tAf
here?” The sun had come up and was about halfway to noon which meant he had5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKlr8ySs2R
been sitting here for hours. In his daze he wouldn’t have noticed if the5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfclmCYVKq
assassin had escaped, but he was lucky he was still out like a light.
“An assassination attempt.” Vander5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBKKfXe2yk
accepted the hand the young Captain held out for him, helping him up to his5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ffA0RZSm
feet. “I got three of them, but two of them escaped. I would have followed5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfrSaKVcYw
them, but I haven’t had a solid rest in days and I’m weakest at dawn.”
“You did enough.” Jeffery nodded.5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx6PH6tR6a
He walked over to the still breathing assassin then bent down to check him out.5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M1UlwBGBT
“This one is still alive.”
“Bring him to the dungeons.”5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6n9BC2DW2
Vander smirked. “I want to interrogate him myself. And bring this to Doctor5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBTKqbqP5X
Lohsyn.” He dropped the capsule into Jeffery’s hand. “Don’t let anyone eat it5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySsdfVCZ5K
or drop it. I need to know what it’s made from.”
“I will handle it myself.” Jeffery5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDPqvdtn9q
clutched it to his chest and bowed his head. “You two.” He turned and snapped5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR55ncz4vmq
at two of the soldiers standing nearby. “Take this man to the dungeons. Give5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLGy6i5uI0
him food and water, but nothing else. Chain him, make sure he can’t even piss5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb6QDBkXDN
without help. Am I clear?”
“Yes sir!” the two guards saluted.5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE1DFNBg31
They picked up the unconscious assassin and hauled him away. Jeffery had two5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhYIuLQ5do
other guards follow just incase the man tried to make a break for it. The other5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsktUKtXHtt
bodies would be sent to Lohsyn as well for an autopsy. After dealing with all5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3zssO5sVd
those details, he headed towards the castle.
The castle was finishing up the5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt63JzTtqN
decorations for the prince’s arrival and it looked stunning. The windows were5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GV2ARYKpP
draped with blues and reds to represent both countries and people. Bernard really5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9ee2t9EEW
took his job seriously. Vander walked past the man and into the castle. A few5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq00M0C6c8H
minutes later he was standing in front of the King’s door and knocked.
“Come in.” The King’s voice5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifQ7dIZLdL
boomed. Vander turned the knob and headed inside.
Malcolm was at his desk looking5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4HZ5x5h4k
over some papers. He was wearing a blue collared shirt that was unbuttoned showing5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Ka44Lsfm
off the upper part of his chest. There was a gold chain hanging around his neck5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJy5bxclCs
with a sapphire gemstone hanging from it. His black rimmed glasses slid down5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaWmHXGCtq
his nose, resting just above the fall.
“You look like shit Vander.”5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG9sQ2f1uI
Malcolm stood up motioning towards the seat in front of him. “Is that blood on5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D889uZoDg
you?”
“It’s been a rough morning.”5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyZgpmPsTV
Vander shed his jacket then hung it up by the door. He didn’t want to get blood5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBnMTNHvu3
on the carpet. “Jumped by a couple of assassins on my way to train my recruits.5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DsQaX0QHi
Kill two, knocked out one, and two escaped.”
“Do you wish to be seen by Topal?”5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHBhGNeBRR
Malcolm asked.
“I really just want to fucking5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJKjskYK97
sleep.” His eyes grew heavy.
“Rest here, no one will bother5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTxprmipg5
you.” The King smiled. “The couch is very comfortable. Much better than the5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5H7wBjvo6
chair.”
“I’ll rest in a moment.” Vander5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdMjlSKMRh
sighed. “I came here to tell you about my meeting with my source. He gave me5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglWyb6UIJj
the name of the organization who poisoned you. The Green Serpents.” Upon5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n3823nPWC
hearing the name, Malcolm froze.
“Are you sure that’s what he5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVtnU995r2
said?”
“Yea,” Vander nodded. “Ross is5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQHNSguPmT
trustworthy, his advice has never let me down before.”
“Shit.” Vander was shocked, he had5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3Nw2u4gAy
never heard the King curse before. He got up from his desk and went to stand by5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8SR2c0jBG
the window. Despite being in a coma for months, he seemed to be quite healthy.5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRMBr43fZq
He couldn’t help but wonder where all that stamina came from.
“Are you alright?” Vander asked.
“If it’s the Serpents we are in5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiE0lU3FHu
trouble.” The King ran his fingers through his hair. “I will have to talk to5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2LfuSZ87V
Peyton and your grandfather before saying anything else.” He turned around to5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC7SeSi6EM
look at Vander. “I just received word that Warden Drayson will be here later5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1z8UMoL6h
this afternoon. We will have her forces and some of our back to beef up5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykBenUk67A
security. I want you to oversee protection.”
“Are you sure?” Vander asked. “I5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9d5hlWEWY
don’t think I’m experienced enough for something like that.”
“I trust you as does your5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtRzBxhlwu
grandfather.” Malcolm smiled. “You’ll do fine. Is there anything else I should5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV2YZOUxVY
know?”
“Ross can help me find where the5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8xaTNJT35
Serpents are hiding.” Vander sighed. “But the price is steep, it can’t be paid5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wSv0Ot1SP
with money.”
“I trust your judgement.” Malcolm5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU9zgzMDMK
walked over then squeezed Vander’s shoulder. “Now get some rest. I’ll wake you5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFHMVaFbJF
when it’s time.” Nodding his appreciation, Vander headed towards the couch5Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXrtmc7J6N
where he promptly passed out.
