Chapter 11
The party was still in full swing93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUuwGvaysb
once Alex and Vander left the Inn. Shea had been waiting patiently and even93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkhYaRz5fU
Right and Left seemed sad to see her go. Alex didn’t say a word the entire trip93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lMUivcM47
back into the Eastern District, even when they parted, he just headed towards93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKDimoIN54
the middle ring not even saying goodnight. He didn’t blame Alex, the first time93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fMJQg9Udp
he had gone to the warehouse and seen the pit wasn’t a happy experience either.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRrl60Psk4
The fact the King allowed something like this was even more of a surprise, but93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCDOrjkO5S
it was above their pay grade to know why. However, there was one thing that93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAQhLCqrku
Ross had said that played over and over in his mind. There was a traitor within93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMtRboe21b
the Blades.
He didn’t know how Ross found that93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnKXTxSu3H
out, but he wasn’t one to disregard warnings, not if it had come from him. They93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98LWtqxHm9
had done business in the past and in the beginning, he had been skeptical, but93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jzZiGAz8f
Ross’s warnings and advice almost always came true. He would be an idiot not to93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlTzzocTsQ
take the warning seriously, but for the life of him he couldn’t figure out who93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOeQNLKPbI
it could be. Guess if it was going to be easy, he wouldn’t have needed Ross to93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNTgOjoXUh
tell him. He would have to discuss everything he had been told with his93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGKyLfvXNC
grandfather, and the King, tomorrow. For now, he needed rest.
The Inn was quiet by the time the93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpf6dcj9TK
two of them arrived back. Not even Julianna the workaholic was awake, the93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprTxRaohnf
embers in the fireplace gave off little more than a slight glow. The two of93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3Qdv886mC
them slowly walked up the stairs being careful not to disturb the sleepers.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOfOrYOaGR
When they got to their room, he pushed the door open, and Shea trotted inside.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJm8Fuulaz
She sniffed around for a moment before jumping up on the bed, finding her spot,93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYnV6nnXr3
then curling up into a ball. He followed suit shortly after, crawling under the93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV17ZIPpBbA
covers and passing out almost immediately.
When he awoke, he knew he was93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj76zgs74Be
somewhere else. It was the cold air that surrounded him or the sight of weeping93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlihWknt16
cobblestone. No, it was the smell of rot and decay. Looking around he saw93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ7WGVbdEe
himself standing in a dimly lit chamber that was cylindrical. There were93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndN6nBbMR1
torches above his heads, and they were so close he could reach up and touch93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ5Lb4e1sY
them. Curiously, in the dead center of the room was a podium which was holding93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny2TvkNzQv
a book. Walking over to it, he realized it was in a language he didn’t93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHkwfmLF91
recognize. As he reached out to touch it, a cough woke him up from his trance.
“I wouldn’t touch that if I were93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1cbnL0WhQ
you.” an elderly voice spoke. Facing the sound of the voice, Vander spotted93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaDi9bXz05
an old man white long white hair chained to the wall. There was a slight93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZn8pzPhZx
radiant aura coming from within the body, but it was weak, barely alive.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudXpIDcV0S
Instinctively he knew who it was even though it was hard to believe.
“Veyar.” Vander bowed his head93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLTV8UFDDt
before dropping down to one knee. “Are you the one who summoned me?” The93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSXtEMDj2U
old man nodded his head. “Why? Where are we?”
“I do not know.” Veyar93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxlgdzR9A3
admitted. Vander found that hard to believe. The father of all the deities knew93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj2IujCkiS
everything, at least he was supposed to. “I was brought here unconscious, I93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs222v6mhW6
had no idea I had even been taken until I woke up chained to these walls, my93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxV85MqidC
power stripped from my body.”
“Do you need me to free you?”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBJqiMcMWp
Vander asked. He suddenly felt very foolish as Veyar went through back his head93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNdPmi326Q
and laughed.
“There is nothing you can do for93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61YRZPMeyJ
me here but thank you for offering.” The deity looked amused. “I have93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfsChhhpci
brought you here to deliver a warning. You are in great danger as is everyone93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcHjz5AMpc
around you. Keep hold of your secret, tell no one, or all will be lost.” Vander93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE5YZITeWT
was confused.
“Who is after me?” He asked.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99b90HF4zI
Veyar craned his head as if he were listening for someone.
“There is no time, he will be here93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi1u5CtJMy
soon.” He sounded afraid. “Beware the false sun, Vander. Beware.” Before he could ask anything else, Vander’s93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGXh8EKwe8
sight went dark.
He bolted up out of bed dripping93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0MFeOwUc4
with sweat. Shea was still snoring next to him oblivious to what had happened93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48SoVst47x
during the night. He wouldn’t have believed it happened if he didn’t smell the93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6acko7HyT
power lingering in the air. Veyar was supposedly the strongest of the Deities,93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3Fe9HoX46
his equal was Imitae, so how had he been captured and why couldn’t he escape? All93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBj9Ms5aGN
these questions, but the one that mattered most was who was after him. He was93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflw5hAXUd8
told to ‘beware the false sun’, it wasn’t much to go on. He would just have to93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmz8Itfdl4
file it away under ‘mysteries’ and leave it at that.
He swung his feet out from under93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx4NogmcPZ
the covers placing them on the cool floor. Azta hasn’t risen yet, but the sky93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmjvrjy2HC
was turning a bright pink. He had only been asleep for a few hours, but despite93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwemoWoGuLN
how he felt, he had work to do. Today was the day he was supposed to train the93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnDPlDg9Js
recruits. Hopefully Alex had got them ready, and they would be waiting for him93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNcljTLY6E
by the time he arrived at the castle grounds.
He left Shea sleeping on the bed.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD9DXkAbtD
She didn’t like getting up early if she didn’t have to and Julianna would take93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyWE6yOiRq
care of her while he was gone. He slipped on his uniform, clipped his sword to93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb3DqOgKHq
his belt and left.
Dawn was the time of day when Unna93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzn5DeuDcx
was her weakest. Hunters, especially animals, were most active at night to93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nqks6jwzr
hunt, fuck, and whatever it is they did during the night. It was now when93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4ZbGQG00Q
Vander was at his calmest, when her powers deep inside of him slumbered. He was93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPFo8EayWo
capable of rational thought and not letting those powers cloud his judgement.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktlV8pcOc8
This was also when he was at his weakest. Without the strength of her powers,93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6HCq26J8L
he was close to defenseless, which was all someone needed to take him out.
He was blindsided from the alley93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BgWZ7Kr28
next to him. Someone grabbed him by the arm and threw him against the building.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFsXEQAy7L
Vander brought his arm up to block the next strike, but it snaked past his guard93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSUMjueCqX
hitting him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, but that was short lived.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRDFkjH11d
Someone wrenched his neck back and his arms were pulled behind him. He tried to93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEebfXZiPNj
stand, but someone kicked out his knees bringing him down.
“The hell do you want?” He hissed93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBIkz88U1I
out in pain. He could smell three distinctive scents, but he had a feeling93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOpfahCuoF
there were a couple of more where he couldn’t see them.
“Is this him?” Someone said, a93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH1uwKldhx
woman. There was nothing distinct about her, not that he could tell with his93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkbtD7RTQi
weakening powers.
“Not sure.” Someone said, a male93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLgxc1pXer
this time. “I expected more of a fight from him. But he has the look we were93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q4dt5BW4S
told about.”
“Even if it’s not, kill him.” A93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTI7JZC0LS
third person said. “Better safe than sorry.” He heard a knife being drawn from93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBIR4gPWEb
a sheath.
“Nothing personal.” The woman93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhP66nGtqU
said. Vander let out a deep guttural growl and lunged forward. Whoever was93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLhQVguOrx
holding his arms didn’t do a good job. He was startled by the sudden savagery93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdkMKUkUND
Vander showed that he didn’t keep a good grip allowing him to slip through. He93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviy8QQjT6S
attacked the woman in front of him, hitting her jaw, sending her sprawling93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6yk63jhI3
backwards. As he suspected, two people jumped out from the shadows drawing93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd0KsTJvnT
wicked looking scimitars as Vander charged them. However, he was too quick. He93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXU0cwoIMq
slammed the hilt of one back into the sheath then using the momentum to kick93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UFCfYwmXj
the other one in the jaw knocked him unconscious. He landed behind the other93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG7RMGs6Or
one and drew a knife from his belt holding it against their throat.
“Who are you?” He shouted. He93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD7BDDBL8l
pressed the dagger against the assassin’s throat drawing blood with the edge.
“You ruined our plan.” Vander felt93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvucXScKjz
as though the man he was holding was grinning. “Now you will pay.” The man93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfygqwtW7ij
grabbed Vander’s arm and pushed the knife deeper into his own neck. He gurgled93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG5IbR9AF8
mouthfuls of blood before falling to his knees, dying. Vander quickly drew his93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1wCH6JIFa
sword as three knives covered with poison flew headed straight for his chest.
He knocked two of the knives away,93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfA8OxL3fn
spinning out into the darkness. The third he grabbed by the handle and threw it93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z6WXEin9G
back at the sender. She yelled out with a scream and crumbled to the ground. One93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeOAL3KlGh
of the assassins drew their scimitar and lunged at him. Vander brought his93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jg7zGXHc4
weapon up to counter the strike. He parried and slashed, forcing the assailant93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcZjs2ImwL
on his back foot. The assailant lunged forward attempting to take Vander93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV2oRWkuWN
through the side, but he dodged sideways. The momentum carried the man into93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8pRZO3Czp
range of Vander’s sword which decapitated him spraying blood everywhere.
“Then there were two.” Vander93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkwVkYV66x
smiled. He wiped the blood from his sword eyeing the man in front of him. He93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmUglbqE5H
was tending to the woman who had the poisoned knife embedded in her arm. He93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCDnnmVEm4
crushed something in his hand then dripped it into her throat. Her face visibly93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbH071gVtF
relaxed as he ripped the knife from her arm.
“You are a lot stronger than we93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nn70tVS16
were told.” The man said, cradling the woman in his arms as he stood. “This is93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm65y0KbcM5
your victory.” The man Vander had kicked slowly got to his feet. His breath was93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLmAKuu1y7
labored. He had likely broken a couple of ribs.
“You attack me, and you think I’ll93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvMYxHfAZW
let you go?” Vander laughed. “You’re sadly mistaken. You will die here, and I93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsBA2yDUFL
will take that girl with me for interrogation.” The man behind him rushed93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFvM4Bs580
forward, grabbed Vander around the neck with his arm. Vander brought his arm93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBIpaGsSbc
back, nailing him in his already broken ribs, causing him to cough up blood.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuafRus1tik
However, he did not let go.
“Run, I’ll hold him back.” He spoke.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqZaizIFrK
The assassin nodded his head then jumped onto the windowsill of the building93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmKDEGlocO
next to us then crawled out of sight. Vander knew he could catch him, but he93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZOA8XJZ12
would have to get rid of this guy first.
“Get off me.” Vander snapped. He93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6mXUrsGfR
brought his head back crushing the nose of the assassin then he grabbed his93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsfVt0Z9uQ
head then threw him overhead. His back slammed onto the ground and before he93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP3NkFiMcp
could rise, Vander nailed him in the jaw knocking him out. “Shit.” He had93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTCByiCGRX
wasted too much time and in this current state he wouldn’t be able to chase the93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OHtdiw6wl
two of them. So, he leaned up against the wall and waited for backup to arrive.
Someone must have called the93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkrzmCtLGb
guards because they arrived ten minutes later, which allowed Vander to catch93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yEzKBFUe4
his breath and think about what had just happened. Based on the way they were93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3TeuTLLEb
talking; someone had put a hit out on him It seemed to be the same group that93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaPTFDKVYA
had killed Nigel after he had been discovered. There was no proof to that93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ShxI1kB3G
claim, but based on the fact they were using the same style of weapons, including93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWyZD54DX2
poison, and their style seemed to be ambush, it was likely them. However, were93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne1Ug3B3W9
they Green Serpents or another group entirely? He would have to wait for93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxCGCaG7Mp
sleeping beauty to wake up first, but before that. He opened the unconscious93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSAQ6VHC0S
assassin’s mouth and rooted around until he found what he was looking for. He93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP9ppACh7x
ripped out a fake tooth with a poison capsule hiding inside.
Assassins were93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nDnXNQPsK
all the same.
“Sir?” Vander looked up to see93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUywOW9DVgK
Jeffery Jilena standing there surrounded by other soldiers. “The hell happened93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOK96GXqWu
here?” The sun had come up and was about halfway to noon which meant he had93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGCgfixf3t
been sitting here for hours. In his daze he wouldn’t have noticed if the93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOTntolAyn
assassin had escaped, but he was lucky he was still out like a light.
“An assassination attempt.” Vander93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd2epzLSBA
accepted the hand the young Captain held out for him, helping him up to his93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3enTwJD4Zu
feet. “I got three of them, but two of them escaped. I would have followed93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdQv7qM0xx
them, but I haven’t had a solid rest in days and I’m weakest at dawn.”
“You did enough.” Jeffery nodded.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNYhaMH8Ri
He walked over to the still breathing assassin then bent down to check him out.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngUgqHXlOl
“This one is still alive.”
“Bring him to the dungeons.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixyi0NRSoG
Vander smirked. “I want to interrogate him myself. And bring this to Doctor93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6evSMxbUkq
Lohsyn.” He dropped the capsule into Jeffery’s hand. “Don’t let anyone eat it93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQEuru1zCk
or drop it. I need to know what it’s made from.”
“I will handle it myself.” Jeffery93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejilya49Lt
clutched it to his chest and bowed his head. “You two.” He turned and snapped93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG1uHDa8HS
at two of the soldiers standing nearby. “Take this man to the dungeons. Give93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnM3CQKtbc
him food and water, but nothing else. Chain him, make sure he can’t even piss93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PlPeN3y5e
without help. Am I clear?”
“Yes sir!” the two guards saluted.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwTjHhFeBb
They picked up the unconscious assassin and hauled him away. Jeffery had two93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsDqujN6VF
other guards follow just incase the man tried to make a break for it. The other93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeKzoPqRd2
bodies would be sent to Lohsyn as well for an autopsy. After dealing with all93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4xYd39OnO
those details, he headed towards the castle.
The castle was finishing up the93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwEv6XbAtO
decorations for the prince’s arrival and it looked stunning. The windows were93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SqnCzxXdp
draped with blues and reds to represent both countries and people. Bernard really93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtRh4MiydG
took his job seriously. Vander walked past the man and into the castle. A few93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScrL7KWyJ1
minutes later he was standing in front of the King’s door and knocked.
“Come in.” The King’s voice93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh6vbO49PU
boomed. Vander turned the knob and headed inside.
Malcolm was at his desk looking93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk4hnRZVrZ
over some papers. He was wearing a blue collared shirt that was unbuttoned showing93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbXZymHyqA
off the upper part of his chest. There was a gold chain hanging around his neck93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlEnpZ345i
with a sapphire gemstone hanging from it. His black rimmed glasses slid down93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPVIPmZr4G
his nose, resting just above the fall.
“You look like shit Vander.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5k5P2el9W
Malcolm stood up motioning towards the seat in front of him. “Is that blood on93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VqR0yrBtO
you?”
“It’s been a rough morning.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk8iK4bb7Y
Vander shed his jacket then hung it up by the door. He didn’t want to get blood93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvoUy2OLLA
on the carpet. “Jumped by a couple of assassins on my way to train my recruits.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimtg1hNxw0
Kill two, knocked out one, and two escaped.”
“Do you wish to be seen by Topal?”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u2Cvp3Z7J
Malcolm asked.
“I really just want to fucking93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ts3JCdcJs
sleep.” His eyes grew heavy.
“Rest here, no one will bother93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uH8Ts4JXJ
you.” The King smiled. “The couch is very comfortable. Much better than the93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiGpl2L8ZO
chair.”
“I’ll rest in a moment.” Vander93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7uQMYxd8P
sighed. “I came here to tell you about my meeting with my source. He gave me93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA3xqrXZmN
the name of the organization who poisoned you. The Green Serpents.” Upon93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk31rfVOzZT
hearing the name, Malcolm froze.
“Are you sure that’s what he93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZXOH6SN3i
said?”
“Yea,” Vander nodded. “Ross is93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsGIOQlSuF
trustworthy, his advice has never let me down before.”
“Shit.” Vander was shocked, he had93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKxLOBFQsE
never heard the King curse before. He got up from his desk and went to stand by93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4uTsOu3sK
the window. Despite being in a coma for months, he seemed to be quite healthy.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9JUyAWfgJ
He couldn’t help but wonder where all that stamina came from.
“Are you alright?” Vander asked.
“If it’s the Serpents we are in93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkzxrgJ6fs
trouble.” The King ran his fingers through his hair. “I will have to talk to93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NL2vBjWYX
Peyton and your grandfather before saying anything else.” He turned around to93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal1SqO3vpi
look at Vander. “I just received word that Warden Drayson will be here later93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcth638Ju6z
this afternoon. We will have her forces and some of our back to beef up93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdDVFmlj39
security. I want you to oversee protection.”
“Are you sure?” Vander asked. “I93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmlzmS1WbM
don’t think I’m experienced enough for something like that.”
“I trust you as does your93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPDTdzynR6
grandfather.” Malcolm smiled. “You’ll do fine. Is there anything else I should93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOAbSLJDMn
know?”
“Ross can help me find where the93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45Af8UC6vV
Serpents are hiding.” Vander sighed. “But the price is steep, it can’t be paid93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByAo4CZh1I
with money.”
“I trust your judgement.” Malcolm93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaRJr0njuk
walked over then squeezed Vander’s shoulder. “Now get some rest. I’ll wake you93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEfqDb2TYf
when it’s time.” Nodding his appreciation, Vander headed towards the couch93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH7hoHjZMM
where he promptly passed out.
