Chapter 36
The crowds had already gathered by56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oPv2g3BUN
the time Vander had left the basement and been brought outside. He could feel56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmmqEolVLt
that everything was placed on a knife’s edge just waiting for someone to do56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0SQWP3NK7
something to light a match under the powder keg. There were five soldiers in56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYcXXSKuf2
front of him, two of them were holding the chains to his hands, while the five56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyn4CvebYo
behind him were holding his leg iron chains. There were guards surrounding him56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqAcsh6mqw
as well to keep anyone from trying anything, or to keep him from escaping.
“How do you like the crowd?”56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAOoAKw1Jy
Vander turned his head to see Leon smirking next to him. Leon had always felt56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvegVJLFyef
inferior to Vander, he wasn’t sure why, but it was always a one-sided contest56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYxqmkMz0q
between the two of them.
“I’m glad to see you haven’t56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv7niMC0Ew
changed at all.” Vander snorted. “I assume that this was your doing?”
“Of course.” Leon laughed. “I56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kJa9AdXUn
wanted everyone to see you fall. It would make quite the story don’t you56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl6FoB3odA
think?”
“If you think this will change56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2mPJ3DJgM
anyone’s mind about you, you’re sadly mistaken.” Vander shook his head. “You’re56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B1Hv5KtIP
still just a baby hiding behind his father’s power. No one will respect you. No56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDPP2GusQP
one will like you. The sooner you face facts, the happier you will be.”
“I don’t have to take that from a56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomEhgnbLeE
king slayer.” Leon hissed. “I’ll be there in the front row when they hang you.”56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFpyynhHfg
With that Leon walked off to the front of the procession.
As they made their way into the56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesytSfNkNC
east district, Vander saw some familiar faces amongst the crowd. Many of them56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGk7YGqR8d
he had helped in the past and while he was glad to see them, he was embarrassed56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVWsDfG7aY
to have them see him like this. He wasn’t Malcolm’s killer, but did the others56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLjD9rFgKF
believe him? It was hard to be sure. His eyes met Julianna’s. She didn’t look56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ051VxrCYIQ
away, but her face was grim. He turned away from her.
“Vander!” He heard her shout.56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWUAQdz3Mz
“Don’t give up, we’re with you!” He looked over to see that Julianna had held56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a4CzHwumM
her fist up in the air. Slowly and surely the others did the same. They didn’t56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH2phFUR3F
scream, they didn’t shout, they didn’t rush the soldiers to free him. They56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx91d2LiZG7
showed solidarity with him, as if they didn’t believe what was being said about56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3ZUq3jglW
him. He would have to prove their trust in him was correctly placed.
“Keep it moving!” one of the56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8csqIbNWZK
guards shoved Vander in the back causing him to stumble. He caught himself and56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPCRqXsB4J
kept walking.
The road through the middle56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrxjXk1lFh
district was cleared for everyone. The nobles didn’t care about this, it was56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVPGBmBB4R
below their station. They were likely asleep or cheating on their spouses. It56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72OqFcU3k6
was those in the third ring that would give him the most difficult time: the56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pGzwfSi8K
comrades he served with for most of his life. It was their judgement that would56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX9iClM8KU
hurt the most. Nothing could prepare him for what he expected to face from56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eC73tGrwK
them.
The Blades were standing on both56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5lCY2hR6D
sides of the road with the rest of the army behind them. He knew Alex wasn’t56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mKQvMXNZj
there, but he saw Chicken, Rooster, Forest, Briar, and Eve standing amongst56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzhtrhtgsa
them. In the few months he had been gone, it looked as though they had aged56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T4gMbhPWj
considerably. He could tell Chicken was close to tears, but she held them back.56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxUof85ScR
Rooster looked straight ahead with a bewildered expression on his face. Forest56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iwghvywsX
and Briar held each other’s hands, but Eve looked annoyed for some reason. He56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIXZ8Vy0FX
felt a little bad that his grandfather wasn’t around. He had taken the brunt of56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA617VTHUID
the punishment and now it would be his turn if he couldn’t convince the council56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWA8ZeJUyB
he was innocent.
He was brought up the castle steps56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh8I9q138t
then towards the council chamber. Most of his guard detail was left behind with56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn67X3LOcbq
only the four guards holding his chains, Eric Jilena, and Leon escorting him to56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G6k3VYeJw
the council chamber for judgement to be passed upon him. However, they took him56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5FEGaOLSf
to the throne room instead. Two Blades opened the door revealing the large56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXs19shSSl
empty space, the only thing there was the throne where Cuvera was sitting.56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZouIxEfL0
Behind him was Kiara and Eliza. Spaced evenly around them were the remaining56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTpAEpksXw
council members and they did not look happy in the least.
Peyton Cranton sat next to Cuvera56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ka89UAD1t
with a small smile on his face. He had likely been waiting for this for a very56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhndqLzd29
long time.
“We brought him.” Eric pulled the56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8eO5Np1vK
chains causing Vander to stumble, falling to his knees.
“Remove the chains.” Cuvera56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoze2t5pY4
instructed.
“My King?” Eric asked. “Is that56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Kzp5E2FW
wise? He already killed your father and my son. He’s dangerous. He should be…”
“I gave you an order General.”56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X279rw1o7
Cuvera snapped. “Do not make me repeat myself.” Eric debated whether to56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFLb495bW6
disobey, but eventually he relented. Vander felt the chains leave his hands56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iQ5HMT6e5
then clatter on the ground. He rubbed his wrists tenderly hoping to get the56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZEvtCfnmz
feeling back into them. “Step forward.”
Vander walked until he was ten56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuK83ZcM6V
feet away from the throne, before dropping to one knee, bowing in front of his56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoji4EOjcmC
friend. He looked up to see that Cuvera had aged considerably these past few56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ73jZgfJE
months. He was now sporting a thick brown beard. His eyes were dark, likely not56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3eOvBiFsu
getting enough sleep, and it appeared as though Kiara was pregnant with their56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwP7ruHxSa
first child. She was looking at Vander with a worried expression on her face.56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInzNywGrMI
Eliza’s face was unreadable, but he detected some concern in her eyes. He56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeWBXlSRUA
didn’t want to give anything away, so he just kept his eyes focused straight56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65Q2PAGxIl
ahead.
He noticed that the four Warden’s56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEwSulBJh8
from the other regions were also in attendance. Jewelthorne looked bored, as if56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52rWUsRiDf
he had been forced to be there. Valyrian looked at him with disgust while56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY06iMxrKM
Whitesun, the one he knew the least, looked at him with interest. Mari looked56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZjoM6yPyP
at him with a small smile, as if she was telling him that everything was going56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlz8XfEcBP
to be alright. Despite her demeanor, he felt that it was going to be everything56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBidNuD1zR
but.
“You know why you are here,56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU37YKATP8V
Vander, Blade Captain?” Cuvera’s voice echoed through the room.
“Yes.” Vander admitted. “I am56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aSH4VaijR
accused of killing Malcolm and Jeffery Jilena.”
“Last night you were also seen56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjZBuLS9oN
fleeing from the northern district right before Humi, Humjir’s head priest, was56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1wxatEBfi
found dead.” Cuvera explained.
“Humi died?” Vander was56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg63U3ITBN
disappointed. He had hoped that the guards would have gotten there in time, but56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDea91Ehlq
he guessed wrong.
“What do you have to say for56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisuyV8m3V4
yourself?”
“Innocent on all accounts.” A56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MbFqSOzMt
collective gasp went up from the council members. Anna Jilena looked like her56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pyy2XC5Jt
head was about to explode.
“I’ll give you a chance to tell56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPlV5Qr5Dp
your side of the story.” Cuvera said. “Explain to me how Lord Cranton saw you56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIuF9eyX1g
kill my father, us all watching you flee the room in a hurry, then finding56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuQSjN0wwP
Jeffery Jilena dead on the ground with his throat cut.”
“I see.” Vander sighed. “Must we56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2lAUsEow5
do this in front of them?” He motioned towards the council. “I’d rather just56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSFzj388fF
talk to you alone.”
“So, you could kill him?” Peyton56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAntLIfQ6L
laughed. “I think not. You’re the criminal here, you don’t get special56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxii9XWwEl
treatment.” As much as he hated to admit it, Peyton was right. So, he told them56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6Xpkcyaf9
what had happened.
He started by talking about what56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH4qiYLN27
had happened in the catacombs when Cuvera went to visit his mother. Boar had56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYypEooOzi
come to him in a vision, telling him to grab the book on the gods that Malcolm56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJs8FluARz
had shown him in his office. Not bothering to question his ancestor, Vander56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUFChGFIlq
waited until everyone was distracted before sneaking into the library and56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YJOZcBChD
grabbing the book. Malcolm had seen him, but before either of them could say a56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF59cu1SNM
word to each other Peyton had run him through with a sword.
Peyton didn’t even flinch when56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8TESCTbQu
Vander pointed at him, and while some of the council members looked at him56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81StYRxggq
sideways, Vander could tell very few believed him.
After that, he ran away because he56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdJrhfTLNw
knew Peyton would blame Vander for the deaths even though he had nothing to do56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGJDzfZdPW
with it. Jeffery had found him on the lawn but had asked Vander to knock him56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0D7nUeLwz
out then escape. Vander punched him in the stomach before jumping against the56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPrYoWvGmu
wall.
Topal whispered to the council56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHiwbIw1qQ
member next to him, but it was so quiet that Vander could hear what was being56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLrqoNA7ce
said.
Vander continued. He fled to the56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xxoApuxrL
Orange Fox because he knew the stigma surrounding the place would keep him safe56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Th4LyuJY
while he could figure out what to do next. For three months he used the56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZEBgD2eBv
resources available to him to track down and find the Serpents, however he56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHZARViGJg
didn’t go into too much detail. He killed seven of them, then discovered a note56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2pP3Zbhch
sending an assassin known as Fang after him. Afterwards he went to talk to Humi56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqkU89ckLO
when they were attacked by an assassin. He told Vander to flee while holding56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W5huH59ik
them off, but he guessed he didn’t last much longer after that.
“Then you found me two days56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArYDDfqtz5
later.” Vander finished. “That’s all that happened.”
“Seems whoever you talk to just56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXbX6sEHG7
seems to be killed.” Peyton said. “There is a pattern here, Vander, I’m not56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpij0AWGxzD
sure if anyone else can see it, but I can.”
“I also agree with Peyton.” Anna56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKxWkc5gUu
Jilena seethed. “My son is dead because of you. Your story of what happened is56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl8fcg0EER
nonsense. My son’s throat was cut, there no question there.”
“If I may.” Topal raised his hand.56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAbtHmqtVk
“When I did the autopsy of Jeffery, I noticed some discoloration around his56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkDHteIiBc
diaphragm along with some bruising within his lungs. To me, it seemed as though56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokZHUkgSAg
he had been struck five minutes before his throat was cut. There also wasn’t a56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfYkjdH1bf
blood trail leading from the body to the wall.”
“He killed him!” Anna screeched.56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHxf6goSVE
Bickering broke out amongst the council members causing Cuvera to stand up from56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r24i79yT9
the throne.
“Take him to the dungeons until we56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36mpOn9c3a
get this settled.” Cuvera instructed. Bowing his head, Eric placed his hand on56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6n6JsMRwv
Vander’s shoulders. Sighing, Vander stood up allowing himself to be led towards56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwrAJhFwej
the dungeons.
Before Eric handed him over to the56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3spM11DLJ
jailers, he made Vander face him.
“My son, Jeffery, he respected you56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwLlR3ZlKR
a lot.” He spoke. “For his sake, I hope your innocent.”

“I am.” Vander nodded. Perhaps56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukOLWSCJvE
taking some solace at that fact, Eric gave him a small smile. He snapped his56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MMnrHy3hz
fingers. The two jailers walked up, grabbed Vander’s arms, and brought him to56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBAv3qiEkj
his cell. They pushed him into the dank, musty flat that had rags for a blanket56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2sv2lZxHo
and very little warmth. The slammed the door shut, covering him in darkness.
