Chapter 36
The crowds had already gathered by92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ixZgTNWbD
the time Vander had left the basement and been brought outside. He could feel92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRqyI5cxOM
that everything was placed on a knife’s edge just waiting for someone to do92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE0kNUqpbQ
something to light a match under the powder keg. There were five soldiers in92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZB9bxj6Zu
front of him, two of them were holding the chains to his hands, while the five92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRT7b3IePs
behind him were holding his leg iron chains. There were guards surrounding him92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHO6YePhAh
as well to keep anyone from trying anything, or to keep him from escaping.
“How do you like the crowd?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDvtgaYae8
Vander turned his head to see Leon smirking next to him. Leon had always felt92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6GMCY3SAl
inferior to Vander, he wasn’t sure why, but it was always a one-sided contest92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux4lb1Krto
between the two of them.
“I’m glad to see you haven’t92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA9ABi6Hjv
changed at all.” Vander snorted. “I assume that this was your doing?”
“Of course.” Leon laughed. “I92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9HritCUG7
wanted everyone to see you fall. It would make quite the story don’t you92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt16b3FZ3e0
think?”
“If you think this will change92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgbrdX8rLz
anyone’s mind about you, you’re sadly mistaken.” Vander shook his head. “You’re92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRmIGBXfcw
still just a baby hiding behind his father’s power. No one will respect you. No92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdjkPxqigx
one will like you. The sooner you face facts, the happier you will be.”
“I don’t have to take that from a92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrZGkRZyFG
king slayer.” Leon hissed. “I’ll be there in the front row when they hang you.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsxYMqYBEP
With that Leon walked off to the front of the procession.
As they made their way into the92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvfjN8pppz
east district, Vander saw some familiar faces amongst the crowd. Many of them92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf5MUUOVu1
he had helped in the past and while he was glad to see them, he was embarrassed92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pn88ojZ3C
to have them see him like this. He wasn’t Malcolm’s killer, but did the others92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FgnjlUeD1
believe him? It was hard to be sure. His eyes met Julianna’s. She didn’t look92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSLiScDS9R
away, but her face was grim. He turned away from her.
“Vander!” He heard her shout.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1FfjaZyGa
“Don’t give up, we’re with you!” He looked over to see that Julianna had held92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GUa13zknL
her fist up in the air. Slowly and surely the others did the same. They didn’t92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1HjiUA2p0
scream, they didn’t shout, they didn’t rush the soldiers to free him. They92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0bwoscGUW
showed solidarity with him, as if they didn’t believe what was being said about92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8c9MuGcfX
him. He would have to prove their trust in him was correctly placed.
“Keep it moving!” one of the92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgn0axUdc1
guards shoved Vander in the back causing him to stumble. He caught himself and92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDXbGa0sD4
kept walking.
The road through the middle92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpZGejaAgg
district was cleared for everyone. The nobles didn’t care about this, it was92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWi8AApHGk
below their station. They were likely asleep or cheating on their spouses. It92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1qaPM97P3
was those in the third ring that would give him the most difficult time: the92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcdTLSY8p6
comrades he served with for most of his life. It was their judgement that would92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQocnNjTxz
hurt the most. Nothing could prepare him for what he expected to face from92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpFKLQN5qo
them.
The Blades were standing on both92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqnFE9K37g
sides of the road with the rest of the army behind them. He knew Alex wasn’t92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9Ku5tAWFA
there, but he saw Chicken, Rooster, Forest, Briar, and Eve standing amongst92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78No2chmVD
them. In the few months he had been gone, it looked as though they had aged92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwicA3HsWz
considerably. He could tell Chicken was close to tears, but she held them back.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMZu6ksKQx
Rooster looked straight ahead with a bewildered expression on his face. Forest92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsqoQ9fsAb
and Briar held each other’s hands, but Eve looked annoyed for some reason. He92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv9esgXTwJ
felt a little bad that his grandfather wasn’t around. He had taken the brunt of92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8isj1IBbXa
the punishment and now it would be his turn if he couldn’t convince the council92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0ZW15Xz5v
he was innocent.
He was brought up the castle steps92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlLBKJ49Is
then towards the council chamber. Most of his guard detail was left behind with92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4ilpPLBVy
only the four guards holding his chains, Eric Jilena, and Leon escorting him to92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3mPrKlOx4
the council chamber for judgement to be passed upon him. However, they took him92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbi2BEFYGZ
to the throne room instead. Two Blades opened the door revealing the large92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOLdx8I0vs
empty space, the only thing there was the throne where Cuvera was sitting.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayVLkdht9z
Behind him was Kiara and Eliza. Spaced evenly around them were the remaining92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR1QrPovTC
council members and they did not look happy in the least.
Peyton Cranton sat next to Cuvera92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh6ja4JSJZ
with a small smile on his face. He had likely been waiting for this for a very92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQRcssSGg0
long time.
“We brought him.” Eric pulled the92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnk1XsAf7S
chains causing Vander to stumble, falling to his knees.
“Remove the chains.” Cuvera92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebLglm3RMC
instructed.
“My King?” Eric asked. “Is that92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wOT29LP7T
wise? He already killed your father and my son. He’s dangerous. He should be…”
“I gave you an order General.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZq4qlP6mG
Cuvera snapped. “Do not make me repeat myself.” Eric debated whether to92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NMGDX72rs
disobey, but eventually he relented. Vander felt the chains leave his hands92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJS3G9TCKD
then clatter on the ground. He rubbed his wrists tenderly hoping to get the92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38BZ5TTKEg
feeling back into them. “Step forward.”
Vander walked until he was ten92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp04YOcORC4
feet away from the throne, before dropping to one knee, bowing in front of his92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVfIDrpPgr
friend. He looked up to see that Cuvera had aged considerably these past few92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrwqkRqJCV
months. He was now sporting a thick brown beard. His eyes were dark, likely not92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH0pTtKAu3
getting enough sleep, and it appeared as though Kiara was pregnant with their92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBc2dgOAKd
first child. She was looking at Vander with a worried expression on her face.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xf3HFVPNZ
Eliza’s face was unreadable, but he detected some concern in her eyes. He92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMNt3thcTA
didn’t want to give anything away, so he just kept his eyes focused straight92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeFA9cHDua
ahead.
He noticed that the four Warden’s92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTVDXnxEGw
from the other regions were also in attendance. Jewelthorne looked bored, as if92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAGGJjtjWR
he had been forced to be there. Valyrian looked at him with disgust while92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj9EtvlGg6
Whitesun, the one he knew the least, looked at him with interest. Mari looked92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GLLBB2UVP
at him with a small smile, as if she was telling him that everything was going92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJqPpJg1vr
to be alright. Despite her demeanor, he felt that it was going to be everything92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qjJEhwSWz
but.
“You know why you are here,92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaJZazqQUe
Vander, Blade Captain?” Cuvera’s voice echoed through the room.
“Yes.” Vander admitted. “I am92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQxazR9ntM
accused of killing Malcolm and Jeffery Jilena.”
“Last night you were also seen92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXgQraCMPS
fleeing from the northern district right before Humi, Humjir’s head priest, was92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSPdy8qHUk
found dead.” Cuvera explained.
“Humi died?” Vander was92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qlj8CLtzw
disappointed. He had hoped that the guards would have gotten there in time, but92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLozbFQCjIo
he guessed wrong.
“What do you have to say for92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxuHPDCEDF
yourself?”
“Innocent on all accounts.” A92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXcYbxl2RS
collective gasp went up from the council members. Anna Jilena looked like her92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo2NPURd7B
head was about to explode.
“I’ll give you a chance to tell92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDEei8FtAC
your side of the story.” Cuvera said. “Explain to me how Lord Cranton saw you92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1BhdNECYu
kill my father, us all watching you flee the room in a hurry, then finding92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdrs5E4RHQ
Jeffery Jilena dead on the ground with his throat cut.”
“I see.” Vander sighed. “Must we92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRqekarUmQ
do this in front of them?” He motioned towards the council. “I’d rather just92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebAiVOod46
talk to you alone.”
“So, you could kill him?” Peyton92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF7KCNqZV4
laughed. “I think not. You’re the criminal here, you don’t get special92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxaRovgfht
treatment.” As much as he hated to admit it, Peyton was right. So, he told them92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEfQZaugc3
what had happened.
He started by talking about what92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnhZqEYYPe
had happened in the catacombs when Cuvera went to visit his mother. Boar had92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkW5kCvs6R
come to him in a vision, telling him to grab the book on the gods that Malcolm92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe80MNeYbNd
had shown him in his office. Not bothering to question his ancestor, Vander92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9hLo9Cmiu
waited until everyone was distracted before sneaking into the library and92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRn2QPQDEf
grabbing the book. Malcolm had seen him, but before either of them could say a92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7iIT7Kb43
word to each other Peyton had run him through with a sword.
Peyton didn’t even flinch when92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOosVzbDXV
Vander pointed at him, and while some of the council members looked at him92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK1vqAr1nz
sideways, Vander could tell very few believed him.
After that, he ran away because he92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymeVKd68RP
knew Peyton would blame Vander for the deaths even though he had nothing to do92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kYAmnKniX
with it. Jeffery had found him on the lawn but had asked Vander to knock him92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqshgQj9nZ3
out then escape. Vander punched him in the stomach before jumping against the92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2XZXONSYO
wall.
Topal whispered to the council92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlSJsFBXpB
member next to him, but it was so quiet that Vander could hear what was being92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HEO58fQ1A
said.
Vander continued. He fled to the92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfHYtd3p7y
Orange Fox because he knew the stigma surrounding the place would keep him safe92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDbMAeVeMD
while he could figure out what to do next. For three months he used the92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKyZnllXFc
resources available to him to track down and find the Serpents, however he92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡougZUBZXdo
didn’t go into too much detail. He killed seven of them, then discovered a note92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89RvISLgMh
sending an assassin known as Fang after him. Afterwards he went to talk to Humi92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9flbLcQCQ
when they were attacked by an assassin. He told Vander to flee while holding92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTEi0ee01S
them off, but he guessed he didn’t last much longer after that.
“Then you found me two days92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBItNncyf3
later.” Vander finished. “That’s all that happened.”
“Seems whoever you talk to just92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotyaDoqPDj
seems to be killed.” Peyton said. “There is a pattern here, Vander, I’m not92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS1NAHMhWx
sure if anyone else can see it, but I can.”
“I also agree with Peyton.” Anna92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjdwDvn9t0
Jilena seethed. “My son is dead because of you. Your story of what happened is92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjbBRexP7d
nonsense. My son’s throat was cut, there no question there.”
“If I may.” Topal raised his hand.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhURumBJzfS
“When I did the autopsy of Jeffery, I noticed some discoloration around his92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfDpqVcJk8
diaphragm along with some bruising within his lungs. To me, it seemed as though92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpspSUGNYM
he had been struck five minutes before his throat was cut. There also wasn’t a92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRJGm0xypM
blood trail leading from the body to the wall.”
“He killed him!” Anna screeched.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNVGBdTJkH
Bickering broke out amongst the council members causing Cuvera to stand up from92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3odTaG22d
the throne.
“Take him to the dungeons until we92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh5fxyj0Fd
get this settled.” Cuvera instructed. Bowing his head, Eric placed his hand on92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtUjxfhFuY
Vander’s shoulders. Sighing, Vander stood up allowing himself to be led towards92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRKlsSv7sR
the dungeons.
Before Eric handed him over to the92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wy3JhEX49
jailers, he made Vander face him.
“My son, Jeffery, he respected you92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbmSe5Upbj
a lot.” He spoke. “For his sake, I hope your innocent.”

“I am.” Vander nodded. Perhaps92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyT4jtlYz4
taking some solace at that fact, Eric gave him a small smile. He snapped his92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGSdj0MeMb
fingers. The two jailers walked up, grabbed Vander’s arms, and brought him to92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDEptdgLyh
his cell. They pushed him into the dank, musty flat that had rags for a blanket92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGcCwtEiTU
and very little warmth. The slammed the door shut, covering him in darkness.
