Chapter 11
The party was still in full swing25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8ZgI5cPq1
once Alex and Vander left the Inn. Shea had been waiting patiently and even25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOWsRH5vbg
Right and Left seemed sad to see her go. Alex didn’t say a word the entire trip25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhY0DDcCLJ
back into the Eastern District, even when they parted, he just headed towards25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9jL4zaasq
the middle ring not even saying goodnight. He didn’t blame Alex, the first time25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YkY1lqAwI
he had gone to the warehouse and seen the pit wasn’t a happy experience either.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPRpJnM10z
The fact the King allowed something like this was even more of a surprise, but25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nrcu7wiZe
it was above their pay grade to know why. However, there was one thing that25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCTW8m0fMD
Ross had said that played over and over in his mind. There was a traitor within25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDYFQpVZ2v
the Blades.
He didn’t know how Ross found that25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCUfSCNa7K
out, but he wasn’t one to disregard warnings, not if it had come from him. They25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoPpFM0KBu
had done business in the past and in the beginning, he had been skeptical, but25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n0FPmJg8O
Ross’s warnings and advice almost always came true. He would be an idiot not to25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHX4RLNzaQ
take the warning seriously, but for the life of him he couldn’t figure out who25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKn9RSC11s
it could be. Guess if it was going to be easy, he wouldn’t have needed Ross to25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6knN4eG8VI
tell him. He would have to discuss everything he had been told with his25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2OMR4yFxC
grandfather, and the King, tomorrow. For now, he needed rest.
The Inn was quiet by the time the25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUos9GBrP7I
two of them arrived back. Not even Julianna the workaholic was awake, the25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOClYadwtB
embers in the fireplace gave off little more than a slight glow. The two of25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IE0LO73dk
them slowly walked up the stairs being careful not to disturb the sleepers.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TXwubvnoD
When they got to their room, he pushed the door open, and Shea trotted inside.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGXFgGDi7A
She sniffed around for a moment before jumping up on the bed, finding her spot,25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDFMRMP3uz
then curling up into a ball. He followed suit shortly after, crawling under the25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sfc3Ffruv
covers and passing out almost immediately.
When he awoke, he knew he was25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpti0EA2eYn
somewhere else. It was the cold air that surrounded him or the sight of weeping25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDleDICSMJO
cobblestone. No, it was the smell of rot and decay. Looking around he saw25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQBfCgImvp
himself standing in a dimly lit chamber that was cylindrical. There were25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlBttzW5fK
torches above his heads, and they were so close he could reach up and touch25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXhmyMYwq7
them. Curiously, in the dead center of the room was a podium which was holding25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnvDAFvylE
a book. Walking over to it, he realized it was in a language he didn’t25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEcBLlCkvu
recognize. As he reached out to touch it, a cough woke him up from his trance.
“I wouldn’t touch that if I were25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotDB6Bkb4B
you.” an elderly voice spoke. Facing the sound of the voice, Vander spotted25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG1njoZ2ij
an old man white long white hair chained to the wall. There was a slight25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZZomdFVc2
radiant aura coming from within the body, but it was weak, barely alive.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV0wr6RQs4
Instinctively he knew who it was even though it was hard to believe.
“Veyar.” Vander bowed his head25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjXh9iARhD
before dropping down to one knee. “Are you the one who summoned me?” The25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpIyzNgR4C
old man nodded his head. “Why? Where are we?”
“I do not know.” Veyar25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmz0YcNI9C
admitted. Vander found that hard to believe. The father of all the deities knew25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeoLKbsHqt
everything, at least he was supposed to. “I was brought here unconscious, I25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppo3eLUfLy
had no idea I had even been taken until I woke up chained to these walls, my25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQUDlo7sMI
power stripped from my body.”
“Do you need me to free you?”25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ1ZsPTfXU
Vander asked. He suddenly felt very foolish as Veyar went through back his head25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR4GwMElK6
and laughed.
“There is nothing you can do for25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky7Vdrrp75
me here but thank you for offering.” The deity looked amused. “I have25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FaZUeKyk3
brought you here to deliver a warning. You are in great danger as is everyone25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIV5peBTvl
around you. Keep hold of your secret, tell no one, or all will be lost.” Vander25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaYvv5mrSz
was confused.
“Who is after me?” He asked.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xVfM7iIht
Veyar craned his head as if he were listening for someone.
“There is no time, he will be here25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuEiol8ZkO
soon.” He sounded afraid. “Beware the false sun, Vander. Beware.” Before he could ask anything else, Vander’s25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI8eix9SDi
sight went dark.
He bolted up out of bed dripping25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV3h8KMCdz
with sweat. Shea was still snoring next to him oblivious to what had happened25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAA1eZ0hdS
during the night. He wouldn’t have believed it happened if he didn’t smell the25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOygLLeRJE
power lingering in the air. Veyar was supposedly the strongest of the Deities,25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxJ2rBqfmI
his equal was Imitae, so how had he been captured and why couldn’t he escape? All25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJKBRvLpNW
these questions, but the one that mattered most was who was after him. He was25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVftkigBf1g
told to ‘beware the false sun’, it wasn’t much to go on. He would just have to25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNV4mjSvaq
file it away under ‘mysteries’ and leave it at that.
He swung his feet out from under25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07hq2N9ae1
the covers placing them on the cool floor. Azta hasn’t risen yet, but the sky25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6M4H908lz
was turning a bright pink. He had only been asleep for a few hours, but despite25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEU8SptYza
how he felt, he had work to do. Today was the day he was supposed to train the25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiqGNHWs9N
recruits. Hopefully Alex had got them ready, and they would be waiting for him25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel3yjglMXi
by the time he arrived at the castle grounds.
He left Shea sleeping on the bed.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxc3g479er
She didn’t like getting up early if she didn’t have to and Julianna would take25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvQfe1tFbh
care of her while he was gone. He slipped on his uniform, clipped his sword to25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3QrxZ8iEU
his belt and left.
Dawn was the time of day when Unna25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCiu2BIwd1
was her weakest. Hunters, especially animals, were most active at night to25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9rbep9Mln
hunt, fuck, and whatever it is they did during the night. It was now when25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM4Q8LhiOZ
Vander was at his calmest, when her powers deep inside of him slumbered. He was25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgMoyvaGmS
capable of rational thought and not letting those powers cloud his judgement.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOLiauOCg1
This was also when he was at his weakest. Without the strength of her powers,25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtL2yYEwNj
he was close to defenseless, which was all someone needed to take him out.
He was blindsided from the alley25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobtNMVpYz3
next to him. Someone grabbed him by the arm and threw him against the building.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut2Sg8CGpM
Vander brought his arm up to block the next strike, but it snaked past his guard25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4Hdt29X9B
hitting him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, but that was short lived.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIho51a13Rv
Someone wrenched his neck back and his arms were pulled behind him. He tried to25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JxDVfyBdF
stand, but someone kicked out his knees bringing him down.
“The hell do you want?” He hissed25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwKYVmjhVI
out in pain. He could smell three distinctive scents, but he had a feeling25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezq0Or2sVM
there were a couple of more where he couldn’t see them.
“Is this him?” Someone said, a25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0a83VNC0P
woman. There was nothing distinct about her, not that he could tell with his25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NtZjHTiKf
weakening powers.
“Not sure.” Someone said, a male25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvXXM3q9mH
this time. “I expected more of a fight from him. But he has the look we were25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUErLDSViia
told about.”
“Even if it’s not, kill him.” A25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1cQpQntKH
third person said. “Better safe than sorry.” He heard a knife being drawn from25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3chgjZtTe
a sheath.
“Nothing personal.” The woman25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJywRib709q
said. Vander let out a deep guttural growl and lunged forward. Whoever was25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gsTNfv1I4
holding his arms didn’t do a good job. He was startled by the sudden savagery25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe6S6ORt6r
Vander showed that he didn’t keep a good grip allowing him to slip through. He25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqIBcOULpg
attacked the woman in front of him, hitting her jaw, sending her sprawling25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKaejYpopY
backwards. As he suspected, two people jumped out from the shadows drawing25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEk4Jq2Avb
wicked looking scimitars as Vander charged them. However, he was too quick. He25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0LNn9xDWz
slammed the hilt of one back into the sheath then using the momentum to kick25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv7PsgRUIn
the other one in the jaw knocked him unconscious. He landed behind the other25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCCu8nsndO
one and drew a knife from his belt holding it against their throat.
“Who are you?” He shouted. He25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg115PITI2
pressed the dagger against the assassin’s throat drawing blood with the edge.
“You ruined our plan.” Vander felt25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXHuUNnwB2
as though the man he was holding was grinning. “Now you will pay.” The man25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlBoy1SLm5
grabbed Vander’s arm and pushed the knife deeper into his own neck. He gurgled25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCwQE37kBx
mouthfuls of blood before falling to his knees, dying. Vander quickly drew his25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZDjFvDsag
sword as three knives covered with poison flew headed straight for his chest.
He knocked two of the knives away,25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHAbQ9zqx3
spinning out into the darkness. The third he grabbed by the handle and threw it25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq5Nozy60m
back at the sender. She yelled out with a scream and crumbled to the ground. One25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge0ApmClkP
of the assassins drew their scimitar and lunged at him. Vander brought his25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLy84W9g2M
weapon up to counter the strike. He parried and slashed, forcing the assailant25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt7C2JVQ4d
on his back foot. The assailant lunged forward attempting to take Vander25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6DK0R29wM
through the side, but he dodged sideways. The momentum carried the man into25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBtoKGueOX
range of Vander’s sword which decapitated him spraying blood everywhere.
“Then there were two.” Vander25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFDsJAKP6l
smiled. He wiped the blood from his sword eyeing the man in front of him. He25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R5T44YUbx
was tending to the woman who had the poisoned knife embedded in her arm. He25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhN9jViunE
crushed something in his hand then dripped it into her throat. Her face visibly25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7APUTXEaCc
relaxed as he ripped the knife from her arm.
“You are a lot stronger than we25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YIlIx45P4
were told.” The man said, cradling the woman in his arms as he stood. “This is25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAetFoE2i5p
your victory.” The man Vander had kicked slowly got to his feet. His breath was25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv56pi6vVjv
labored. He had likely broken a couple of ribs.
“You attack me, and you think I’ll25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFB3WrvIBg
let you go?” Vander laughed. “You’re sadly mistaken. You will die here, and I25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUf8Dc20mX
will take that girl with me for interrogation.” The man behind him rushed25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJWvW6qBju
forward, grabbed Vander around the neck with his arm. Vander brought his arm25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhLS5I5ZRm
back, nailing him in his already broken ribs, causing him to cough up blood.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYzFhj9mKv
However, he did not let go.
“Run, I’ll hold him back.” He spoke.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KNcSe0ECi
The assassin nodded his head then jumped onto the windowsill of the building25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MPMRCxf0s
next to us then crawled out of sight. Vander knew he could catch him, but he25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGWfcK0I2v
would have to get rid of this guy first.
“Get off me.” Vander snapped. He25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ismFf0LW5
brought his head back crushing the nose of the assassin then he grabbed his25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDsT7atObZ
head then threw him overhead. His back slammed onto the ground and before he25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC3khDjgKz
could rise, Vander nailed him in the jaw knocking him out. “Shit.” He had25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dI25MDsnn
wasted too much time and in this current state he wouldn’t be able to chase the25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVrSiNSqhH
two of them. So, he leaned up against the wall and waited for backup to arrive.
Someone must have called the25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5wsLE5TnN
guards because they arrived ten minutes later, which allowed Vander to catch25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8bc79YWQa
his breath and think about what had just happened. Based on the way they were25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5sbZ11Scd
talking; someone had put a hit out on him It seemed to be the same group that25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yCYiKcv0a
had killed Nigel after he had been discovered. There was no proof to that25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGy1EVjODP
claim, but based on the fact they were using the same style of weapons, including25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHygR2v5Az1
poison, and their style seemed to be ambush, it was likely them. However, were25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZW90jad5V
they Green Serpents or another group entirely? He would have to wait for25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBXPK9hh0P
sleeping beauty to wake up first, but before that. He opened the unconscious25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NuUZn0h7f
assassin’s mouth and rooted around until he found what he was looking for. He25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPelGwWGRiF
ripped out a fake tooth with a poison capsule hiding inside.
Assassins were25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrdmP8k5QY
all the same.
“Sir?” Vander looked up to see25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakgbbLWlz9
Jeffery Jilena standing there surrounded by other soldiers. “The hell happened25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gVfNj1j6B
here?” The sun had come up and was about halfway to noon which meant he had25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1kjMFu2zU
been sitting here for hours. In his daze he wouldn’t have noticed if the25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wuJWJKEr8
assassin had escaped, but he was lucky he was still out like a light.
“An assassination attempt.” Vander25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLLcSvO9jA
accepted the hand the young Captain held out for him, helping him up to his25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4OqAq6c4r
feet. “I got three of them, but two of them escaped. I would have followed25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl2CN9U5ad
them, but I haven’t had a solid rest in days and I’m weakest at dawn.”
“You did enough.” Jeffery nodded.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbzRMnPT4n
He walked over to the still breathing assassin then bent down to check him out.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39hyWxxaJU
“This one is still alive.”
“Bring him to the dungeons.”25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdfwr70bJN
Vander smirked. “I want to interrogate him myself. And bring this to Doctor25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP55YOhVDno
Lohsyn.” He dropped the capsule into Jeffery’s hand. “Don’t let anyone eat it25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLw1WESSbs
or drop it. I need to know what it’s made from.”
“I will handle it myself.” Jeffery25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteKgDOcfkx
clutched it to his chest and bowed his head. “You two.” He turned and snapped25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXxPpim2Xs
at two of the soldiers standing nearby. “Take this man to the dungeons. Give25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeIlA6xYiJ
him food and water, but nothing else. Chain him, make sure he can’t even piss25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnvBZgoCAl
without help. Am I clear?”
“Yes sir!” the two guards saluted.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUqBY8Q6af
They picked up the unconscious assassin and hauled him away. Jeffery had two25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMVFtntZ9Q
other guards follow just incase the man tried to make a break for it. The other25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gGj8H5UHH
bodies would be sent to Lohsyn as well for an autopsy. After dealing with all25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI26RycXEfa
those details, he headed towards the castle.
The castle was finishing up the25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWg76ZVfZ5
decorations for the prince’s arrival and it looked stunning. The windows were25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbPwrCPj0F
draped with blues and reds to represent both countries and people. Bernard really25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo09S1o42n7
took his job seriously. Vander walked past the man and into the castle. A few25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWrrI2oMOF
minutes later he was standing in front of the King’s door and knocked.
“Come in.” The King’s voice25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoyyp8cTfj
boomed. Vander turned the knob and headed inside.
Malcolm was at his desk looking25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHUvTi0sJ0
over some papers. He was wearing a blue collared shirt that was unbuttoned showing25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl03EODS7nO
off the upper part of his chest. There was a gold chain hanging around his neck25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2hMpIjAez
with a sapphire gemstone hanging from it. His black rimmed glasses slid down25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDLQC9hecq
his nose, resting just above the fall.
“You look like shit Vander.”25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9mROW0mUx
Malcolm stood up motioning towards the seat in front of him. “Is that blood on25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjcTfLvby4
you?”
“It’s been a rough morning.”25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV89QFI8fJ
Vander shed his jacket then hung it up by the door. He didn’t want to get blood25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lRVFUDjpk
on the carpet. “Jumped by a couple of assassins on my way to train my recruits.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VWJErcfT5
Kill two, knocked out one, and two escaped.”
“Do you wish to be seen by Topal?”25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WF6pohdNG
Malcolm asked.
“I really just want to fucking25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZYzTOnv3X
sleep.” His eyes grew heavy.
“Rest here, no one will bother25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRkUDqBfcK
you.” The King smiled. “The couch is very comfortable. Much better than the25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33YRwD8Mnk
chair.”
“I’ll rest in a moment.” Vander25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkDoYmf8Cq
sighed. “I came here to tell you about my meeting with my source. He gave me25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvDOUrknLi
the name of the organization who poisoned you. The Green Serpents.” Upon25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3E9rlU7XZ
hearing the name, Malcolm froze.
“Are you sure that’s what he25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcAyY23eJF
said?”
“Yea,” Vander nodded. “Ross is25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQVg9sVTcq
trustworthy, his advice has never let me down before.”
“Shit.” Vander was shocked, he had25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvNNhlcVWB
never heard the King curse before. He got up from his desk and went to stand by25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xkk1bjKO0
the window. Despite being in a coma for months, he seemed to be quite healthy.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ucTOvogCu
He couldn’t help but wonder where all that stamina came from.
“Are you alright?” Vander asked.
“If it’s the Serpents we are in25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOWjKw26b7
trouble.” The King ran his fingers through his hair. “I will have to talk to25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIUg1qds9D
Peyton and your grandfather before saying anything else.” He turned around to25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJjDUhzEU9
look at Vander. “I just received word that Warden Drayson will be here later25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D1agvHfVt
this afternoon. We will have her forces and some of our back to beef up25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLblEQOlo6F
security. I want you to oversee protection.”
“Are you sure?” Vander asked. “I25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VzA7Tut4a
don’t think I’m experienced enough for something like that.”
“I trust you as does your25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9xhouub7w
grandfather.” Malcolm smiled. “You’ll do fine. Is there anything else I should25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduri7ux3m8
know?”
“Ross can help me find where the25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeupxMi0LI
Serpents are hiding.” Vander sighed. “But the price is steep, it can’t be paid25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBnXtn9OfH
with money.”
“I trust your judgement.” Malcolm25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWeERlAdZz
walked over then squeezed Vander’s shoulder. “Now get some rest. I’ll wake you25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aI5hFMpiW
when it’s time.” Nodding his appreciation, Vander headed towards the couch25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JSqUjE7oJ
where he promptly passed out.
