Chapter 13
After the unnerving meeting with41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm84WGsCpJ
Veyar, again, Vander tucked Mari into her bed and quietly left so he didn’t41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaidSrH6pH
disturb anyone in the apartment. Once he arrived at the bottom of the steps,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80p4xOU5vZ
her guards handed him back his sword while the Blades bowed to both him and41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOTDqvuXdM
Shea. Then he headed back to his old room.
He hated that he was now41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yTWqYFXp3
practically confined to the castle, but he knew it came from a place of care.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljNJleihi3
This was the second time in as many weeks he had been attacked, and even though41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0uL7EQVmb
he hadn’t been harmed this time, the fact that he had been so blatantly41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXZG6yuOw5
targeted meant he was in danger no matter what. He was lucky to have Alex41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ6qw1CoPj
watching his back, but if the assassins were smart, they would wait until he41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFh1LZUEVS
was alone during the festivities to celebrate the prince’s marriage while41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6fCRJ4QNI
everyone was distracted. It’s what he would do. But for now, he had to focus on41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDe8L2LUtj
getting the recruits ready. Despite what his grandfather thought, they were41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvgbGoJlR0
better off being used rather than left to the side. If things were going the41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmufUap8Y9
way he expected they would, they would have to be ready sooner rather than41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVOTk2YORj
later.
The five recruits stood in front41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GN9lOsmwV
of him, each admiring the new swords he had given to them from the Blade41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GDIBuNEqf
armory. They would be the exact swords they would be given upon graduating, but41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60Y8qYGOcZ
Vander had gone to Charles early in the morning, shortly before meeting them41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxVS1chuEM
for the training session and begged him to allow them to train with their41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlepl3g0WU
actual swords just in case. They argued for a little while before the older man41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6tZBlo68W
finally relented under the condition that he come to see how they were doing.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv2IaNM4lB
Vander agreed and now Charles was standing between him and Alex looking the41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWczFcfnjx
recruits over with a critical eye.
“These swords will be your41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5uD8bjoXH
livelihood.” Vander instructed as he paced in front of the recruits as they41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6QRpTzXLP
stared down at their weapons with a mixture of awe and fear. “They are made41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQizGYl2U7
with viriuum from the Northern Mountains. They will not bend; they will not41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGg3h6opDh
break. They were created with your abilities in mind, they are an extension of41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD86CVAbYC
you and need to be treated with respect.”
“I thought we were supposed to get41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6qC8SduHQ
these only when we became full Blades.” Rooster asked. “Or, at the very least,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLN8yvUGNf
trainees, why do we have them now?”
“Circumstances may allow you to be41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOEJ09FRqa
graduated early.” Charles stepped up. “You’ve heard about the attacks on the41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmZGOfn7ZU
castle and in the city. You might be needed early than originally planned, but41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgQUKDitEc
first you must prove to me you deserve the chance.” Forest and Briar grinned41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjBAZBZEua
like a couple of idiots.
“What do we have to do?” They41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALARVXsWOJ
asked in unison. To everyone’s surprise, aside from Vander’s, Charles unbuckled41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHTq8FyDlw
his sword then tossed it to Alex.
“You will have to41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYpltsw5IV
fight against me.” Then he removed his jacket and tossed it to Vander. Despite41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRWDABdlNS
how old he was, he was still an absolute unit of a man. His arms were thick41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22ZuBbFw0t
from his years of fighting and training recruits as well as having the41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jUggSOqoG
knowledge of fighting packed into his head. Despite all the times Vander had41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfykt0Ql4bm
challenged him since he was old enough to wear the uniform, he had never beaten41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lfttqGNls
him, not once.
“One at a time or41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYVehRW0Uq
altogether?” Rooster asked.
“However, you41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk1IzGi4r0
want.” Charles grinned. “Weapons are allowed, so just try and make this41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxL2W2ThRM
entertaining for me.” The recruits emboldened by the challenge rose to their41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL9Of8DTb0
feet.
Forever the good41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQmsPcnzP9
sport, Rooster sheathed his sword, carefully placing his jacket on the ground41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z5ZoumgXW
and putting the sword on top. He stretched for a second before charging at his41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SGV4ciPye
Commander. He threw his weight around Charles’s middle to get him onto his41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLmFQfbJ7w
back, but Charles stood his ground. He brought his fists up then hammered them41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4py4aLmU2
down in Rooster’s back. When his grip weakened, Charles brought his knee up41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd4K4eYZ7z
into Rooster’s stomach then flipped him around, so he hit the ground hard. He41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbzAUJDLXN
went to stamp down on Rooster’s stomach, but he rolled away.
Rooster had taken41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6Tp6uELI5
damage, that much was certain. He staggered back to his feet then spit out a41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb62e2MgWds
wad of blood. Grinning, he raised his fists in front of him, but Vander could41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsilT6j6QI
tell he didn’t have much left in him. His legs were shaking, and it was taking41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ipBxnQoeE
all his energy just to stand. However, he should have stayed down. Charles41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY3OVcSBns
didn’t go easy on anyone; Vander knew that firsthand. Charles didn’t hesitate.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOyxuz3kY5
He began throwing punch after punch at Rooster. At first, he did a good job41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGbZiRxEMF
blocking, but it was like defending against a hammer. His arms became heavy,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y3cwSdjmb
and he could no longer block many of the blows. He started taking strikes to41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fJUbQBrN7
his face and chest. Rooster’s eyes rolled to the back of his head, but he41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPjiDIRbcl
stayed standing. Charles threw another punch but once he noticed Rooster’s41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3jZw3x33o
condition, he stopped. A second later he41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPKNMdXixQ
fell to the ground unconscious.
Charles didn’t41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCgG3ofgIg
look bothered by beating up a recruit, but based on the admiration in his eye,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayfQWtDHa7
Rooster passed. That just left the other four. As usual, Forest and Briar41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pyv37VQEU
decided to go after him together. Their teamwork has been a lot better since41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKwnOlzLS6
their trail in the forest, but they would still be no match for Charles.
They went after41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hmfYzglV5
him, one on each side. Both aimed a punch to his cheek, but he blocked them,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsnXUvltKa
then grabbed their wrists and pulled them into each other. Their bodies41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33seZuQ611
collided with a painful crack. They fell to the ground rubbing their heads41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyhqIngRGe
together. They didn’t stay down for long, they again got up and began41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORfgfGiD56
assaulting him, but Charles started to move. He made sure to keep himself away41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K3W4Tug2s
from the two of them, always moving his body so they would get in each other’s41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeBXiLUIsj
way. They got so used to his movements that when he stopped, they kept going.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPR0DqS3eE
Charles aimed a kick at Forest’s side which he wasn’t kick enough to move out41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8Wcvduy8Y
of the way. He brought his arm up to block, but the kick was too forceful.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFNYB0BWPj
Forest collided with Briar and Vander was sure his arm was broken. The two of41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCg2NCBlXg
them didn’t get back up.
Charles didn’t41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M1a4hQuTa
have time to see If they were alright. Eve came at him with her sword41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB7pQTsdZn
unsheathed. He slowly dodged sideways the sword trimmed off a couple of hairs41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnXWkBcgiS
from his head. Not skipping a beat, once she realized she had missed, he turned41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcjsNmqOkQ
the blade and went for a horizontal slash aiming for his chest. He blocked the41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr38LXzsjLK
strike with his armored boot then slammed it onto the ground. If it was any41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuzcYTPSyf
other metal, it would have snapped in half. She let go of the hilt to throw a41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgUfSmjkWi
punch which he easily blocked. He countered by punching her in the jaw,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ3EEdCflM
knocking her unconscious.
Vander frowned as41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kXkXvfGHI
he looked at her body. She had lost so easily, but it had also been slobby.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv4TS9vi7G
During training in the woods, she was a much better fighter than she showed41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSBXkbNfvT
just now. Was he just blinded or had she intentionally thrown the match with41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxmjGpYcwe
the commander?
Charles got up41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeeY6BTzJk
and looked over at Chicken who held his gaze. “And what do you have for me?” he41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG0XRYs0W5
asked her.
“I’m not much of41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5Srfyp52y
a fighter.” She rubbed the back of her head.
“Then what use41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn8cvpBdmE
are you to me?” he asked. If she was offended by the question she didn’t show41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pCbpPI1X7
it.
“I have a perfect41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoArElhdhbW
recall and excellent head for tactics.” She explained. “What I could do in the41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVEz5aqySN
battle is negligible as to what I can do when it comes to planning.” Charles41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkuCdzgvdS
folded his arms and looked down at her thoughtfully. Then he proceeded to ask41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoAc8Fk821
her questions ranging from military history all the way to tactics and what she41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjNVI7HuN0
would do in any given situation. If anything, that battle was more tense than41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ151qhWkEYr
the three he just had with the others. Vander couldn’t even keep track of what41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CiImgHolo
was being said. It took a few more minutes before Charles seemed to have been41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO76YGJSase
satisfied and came back to collect both his sword and jacket.
“They learned41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAU5BrQ11N
quickly these past six months.” Charles said. “Very well, I agree to them41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdybtNwJAjJ
becoming trainees, however, make sure that one knows how to fight.” He hooked a41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsk3lb6xTn
thumb back towards Chicken who had gone over to check on her brother. “Every41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK47FGpHuGH
Blade must know, even if she spends her time as an advisor. No exceptions.”
“Yes sir.” Vander41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN6lSNiGh7
bowed.
“I also received41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO30Ruc2glr
news that the rest of the Warden’s will be arriving today. I want them properly41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQv0lWT01q
dressed and standing behind you once we greet them.”
“It will be41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QBO9IGHQK
done.” Satisfied, Charles left heading back towards the castle.
∙
It took about41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtkw5nTCSC
thirty minutes for the recruits to awaken after the beating they took at41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFwsxaUpoY
Charles’ hands. Vander quickly checked them for damage, but Charles was precise41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjdmY5byou
in his fighting. Aside from a few bruised ribs and sore stomachs, they were all41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnIThJzoGT
fine. Once he told them they had passed, they all celebrated by dancing around41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpifS9TzsDP
and slapping each other on their backs, their pain long forgotten. Vander was41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnnHqid39p
even more surprised that Chicken passed even with her penchant for books41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf4uB5SP0I
instead of fighting. He had told her what the Commander had told him, and she41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ763piKWQmb
agreed that she had to become better at fighting. She asked for more lessons41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpix3l1HsRf
and Alex agreed. He would be the one to train her. With that done he sent them41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMahLcCrhF
to the dorms so they could get ready for the Warden’s arrival.
He quickly41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7mVRJKjAF
showered then got changed in his dress uniform. His pants were ironed and41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzbJKOuIeN
waiting from when he arrived back. His jacket was neatly pressed with the41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Nc1k35lz
creases worked out of it. In a small display container were all the medals he41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVQHYT1HDu
had received since joining and they had to be properly pinned on the jacket. It41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNSU3lZ3fP
was a lot of work for a couple of hours, but it had to be done or it would41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SzJPWGPrI
reflect badly upon the King and his grandfather.
He put on his41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NMVF04V61
pants followed by a blue dress shirt then he sat down to polish his boots. Shea41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwBwCjDrA3
sat on the bed watching all of this unfold when her head on top of her paws.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspQHXIsKj9
Once his boots were right he placed them on and tied them tightly. He turned41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH5MEjG3To
back to Shea.
“Get down here41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7cBJyNSx2
so I can brush your fur.”
“I don’t want41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTepaM82jU3
to go.” She whined.
“You have to.”41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc32uiaikN
He chided. “You are a Blade, and we are all expected to go. You can sit41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3Fkdt7lhc
behind me if you wish, but you will be there. Now get down here.” She41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntRms9zfDc
glared over at him but did as he asked. She sat down in-between his legs as he41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYTCaRSa4n
picked up the brush and oil then began combing her. She stayed still for it,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ4x5knN8i
but when he came to a knot she let her displeasure known with a low growl. He41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75j24PMhPx
ignored her and kept going, even though he had to bribe her with more meat in41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SPRo4OUCJ
exchange for not biting his hand. Fair trade.
The two of them41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jly9w3RBI
made their way down the stairs and towards the castle door. There were Blades41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfyjJ7Bd7S
standing at attention on both sides of the red carpet where the Wardens would41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ97HI7aBAN
walk once they arrived. They would go to the throne room where they would meet41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlS6wAtAqT
with the others and the council to discuss the wedding and their roles in it,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpBK9zGp8U
and maybe some matters of state. It was rare that outsides would be allowed in,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjWBMNOgZ1
and Vander wasn’t an exception.
Shea and Vander41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELJI4YiKU1
took their positions next to Charles, standing to his left, because the King41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSusmrikD7w
was to the right. All the ranking Blades stood next to him while the council41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzvW3hwYx0
members stood on the King’s right side. Mari Drayson and her daughter stood41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6k0RJHGN7
between the King and Viggo Visc, per the custom when any other Warden was in41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAlXQOeEJC
the city. Peyton stood to Viggo’s right while Bernard stood in the door way. To41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWofcEiSxz
the front, in between each, stood a soldier who would protect the council with41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfereSQUAkV
their lives if it came down to it, only the King was left unprotected, as it41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYceyI2WID
was ceremonial, but also the job of a Blade to risk their lives for the King. Shea41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oqTr3bB4E
took her spot behind Vander but would be ready to act in case her friend’s life41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsuFJFosA9
was in danger. They didn’t have long to wait before the sounds of the drums41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwdG3SWFnQ
were heard from the Western Gates.
Even though the wardens41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lJx5MNeLg
came from the north, west, and south, the western gate was the closest point41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuhJKUthCg
between the three, so their entire entourage met there and walked through the41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74hfPOqrZh
streets until they reached the King. As the citizens were given enough of a41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVWOdZN7pr
warning, the streets were closed in celebration. Vander could hear the cheers41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylq0bTcSDq
all the way from where he stood, the noise made his sensitive ears hurt, but he41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOvfoliqhE
had to stand strong, or others would get suspicious. It took nearly an hour for41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf4LQYgxpZ
the Warden’s to make their way to the inner ring, but their entrance was extravagant.
The first warden41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPqjmVpjWP
to appear was Jira Jewelthorne, the Western Warden. He had short black hair and41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qaIOfnwEA
black eyes. He wore extravagant and expensive clothing: today he wore opulent41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqeip23grN
gold with red trim. His fingers were adorned with silver and gold rings with various41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJDcvwrUGL
gemstones imbedded inside of them. He had no standing army. Instead, he hired41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSB5MUBrHw
mercenaries to protect his kingdom. There was a small squad of ten flaking his41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgWSfO01UE
horse as he rode. The Blades assigned to protected him were behind them and it41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJfjbPEuXE
appeared as though they were holding chains for a man walking between them.
Right behind him41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIWU1rndy7
came Leida Valariyan, the ruler of Stormcrag. Despite her young age, the41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGwAiXIEie
youngest of all the wardens, the weather made her cold and unyielding. She sat41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpTwQTbhSZ
stony faced upon her horse, her salt gray hair tied back in a ponytail, her41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DoaGd6LVg
green eyes looking straight at the King. She was a warrior through and through.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BsKm8zruE
The only person she brought with her was41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCMyPJ294l
her cloaked fighter, Drakon, No one knew what he looked like underneath that41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfE1iHH6j9
ratty black cloak, even Vander’s eyes couldn’t pierce the shadows. Whoever he41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNFrWmIwiV
was, he was enchanted. Five Blades with terrified expressions followed behind41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymq7puJURg
her. Charles would have to give them the next week off to recover.
The final warden41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH7DH5tLk8
was Malakai Whitesun. He exuded power and strength. In wars past he was the41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnM7XmbO6X
King’s most trusted confidant, and it was due to his family that the rest of41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3D3PvNYop
Eluvia was safe from Bricen’s attacks. His entire body was tanned from living41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJHxIYi63F
down there and due to the heat he kept his head shaved. He wore a white vest,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjPr8P7q3b
with nothing else on underneath, and white poofy pants that allowed him to stay41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUfHDPGFrY
cool even in the hottest conditions. He had his own general which was borrowed41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplbpkxuhHg
from the city: Eric Jilena, the patriarch and husband to Anna Jilena. Sitting41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCah9ePx8TM
behind him was his son, Alphonse, who was poised to take his father’s position.
The six main41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPRyZpMuAb
figures got down from their horses to walk up the red carpet while the others41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI5f3WBPn2
stayed where they were. A few feet from the King, each of them got down on one41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8yMxYstv1
knee then bowed their heads.
“Rise my41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kTl4ITDDd
friends.” Malcom laughed. He walked down to greet them, his blue trimmed, white41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcg5YvQuKI
cape dragged on to the floor behind him. He stood each of their hands in turn,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYqFLIwgHW
his royal signet out for everyone to see. While he got to Leida, she presented41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6xPk9ucU7
her cheek so he could kiss it. “I hope your travels were fair.”
“They were41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGDqOVBuFx
indeed.” Jira laughed, his voice fake, but the gleam in his eyes weren’t as he41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz0PtD7Gw3
gazed at the noblewomen standing in the line. “My mercenaries are in dire need41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TEhoek7B0
of food, drink and entertainment, as am I.”
“And they will41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJGwqSWVKY
have them.” Malcolm chuckled. “And how are you General? Are you excited to be41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuJashRd7S
back home?”
“I am my King.” Eric41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASHBX6hQFd
bowed. “I have missed my wife and other children greatly.”
“And you41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIiPK9WUil
Alphonse?” he turned to the general’s youngest son.
“Yes, my lord.”41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGFpzngHO0
Alphonse bowed his head. “Though I’m afraid this weather will take some time to41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBSZO1VDUo
get used to again.”
“I have food for41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugFTT5uNV5
you all inside.” Malcolm turned to step back towards the castle. “If you would41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2wenrVIDC
please follow me.”
“Not yet my41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYi7EcC4et
King.” Malakai placed his hand on the King’s shoulder. Vander involuntarily41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf29uzJHMxR
went for his sword, but his grandfather’s glare kept his hand still. “We have a41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6BfbceboG
surprise for you.” Malakai turned and shouted: “MAKE WAY FOR THE PRINCE!” All41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgASVHf5uxe
at once, all those in attendance stepped aside and saluted. A carriage, unseen41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIrlKggTBZ
by everyone opened and Cuvera, along with two veiled women walked out. The last41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwGUwiMkMf
person out was General Jasper Valentin, Bree’s father.
Upon seeing his41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHbqBEg8px
father, Cuvera smiled. His sandy brown hair flowed in the wind as he locked the41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzUeehojYv
same-colored eyes on his father’s. He was wearing a smart blue colored jacket41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7jvRmFl5g
with the royal family’s crest etched on the front. On his hand was another,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD4IdpNfG6
identical signet ring, to his father’s. He ran up to embrace his father. After41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF8WVurIk5
a moment the two of them broke apart, but Malcolm held onto his son’s arms.
“I wasn’t41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJYiw4vBSB
expecting you for another week.” He gasped. “Why have you arrived so soon.”
“We met up with41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GdIVaqy2u
Lord Whiteson as he crossed the river, so we decided to go together. I left the41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExYWUoKhVq
main soldiers on the road as Malakai would be able to protect us.” He stepped41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dMx3LrIjW
back to wave the two women forward. He wrapped his arms around the one wearing41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ98tT5oNY
red and orange. “This lovely lady is my betrothed, Kiara.” She removed her41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPK7F0Q6Vd
veil, and everyone released their breath they didn’t know they were holding.
Her skin was a41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxcjQuIYNz
deep brown color with vibrant golden eyes. Her dark brown hair was pulled back41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PAxsvLGbj
into a loose weave, but there were some strands framing her face. You could41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrqWi0Qex5
tell that her body was that of a warrior: lithe, muscular, lethal. Vander could41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SnNFNzf0a
easily see her twirling on the battlefield cutting people down left and right.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5CIEsukF7
He secretly hoped Cuvera knew what he was in for. Unknown to everyone other41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lwZv4J1EG
than him, he could feel otherworldly power radiating from her that made him41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhDi0YSVEg
nervous. It felt as though he was staring at the sun. Even Shea whimpered from41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDziJfKhZMo
behind him.
“It’s nice to41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyyYsgF3xV
meet you all.” She curtsied. Everyone bowed their heads in respect to their41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGTR7kA1aH
future queen. Malcolm walked up then kissed both her cheeks before embracing41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFuCpK2BUP
her.
“It’s wonderful41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc1moCkBFf
to meet you.” he laughed. “I hope my son has been treating you well on your41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vptTYnatv
travels together?” Kiara wrapped her arms through Cuvera’s.
“He’s been41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fWABPANBi
perfect.” She smiled. Her gazed flickered to Vander. Upon noticing him her eyes41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17BXPUyIal
widened then she whispered something into his ear. He nodded his head then41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBzK6doxEn
turned back to his father.
“There is one41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKCnMdRslI
more person we’d like to introduce everyone too.” He motioned the mystery women41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoreeRB766
forward. She was dressed similarly to Kiara except her uniform was yellow and41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJEDlwsx2l
silver. She stepped forward then removed her veil. Without waiting for anyone41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeURsmItduG
to introduce her, she introduced herself:
“My name is41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetUSWtOF8y
Eliza, Kiara’s younger sister and bodyguard.” She curtsied. “I hope to be of41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko6eJimTNd
use to all of you here.” She looked over at Vander and the breath left his body41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3FiD235Hj
for a moment. She was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. She was41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEVyda1Bq7
smaller than Kiara but had more defined muscles. Her brown hair was tied back41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1ftNAtq4T
into a tight ponytail, her silver eyes looked at him as if she could see41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbtNin1RwR
everything.
“It would be our41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn1uvcOuKa
honor to have you.” Charles answered.
“Let us go41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26rXqAC8hS
inside.” Cuvera offered. “I’m tired from my travels and I’m sure the wardens41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS76RupjgC
are as well.”
“Of course.”41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0PkJifmFR
Malcolm grinned. “Bernard made sure everyone’s rooms were made up properly and41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyofqXyEr0
we have spared no expense to have your men as comfortable down in the city as41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4Ox9x4c7z
possible. I trust I don’t need to explain the rules?”
“No sir,”41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLatAqcPxz
Whitesun grinned. “We remember what happened last time.”
“Excellent.”41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISkWN2uSGH
Malcolm clapped his hands. “Come my son, there is much I must talk with you41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkPdaz65uS
about. My dear Kiara, you should come to so we can get the chance to get to41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswFgIBHeT8
know each other.”
“Yes father.”41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWGhrDPl5B
Malcolm laughed at that but wrapped his arms around her shoulders and escorted41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrJIuZV9kX
her in. Eliza followed close behind unwilling to leave her sister alone in41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknPF79AuEo
foreign territory. When Cuvera walked past, he gripped Vander’s shoulder.
“Meet me41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKICFZANSz
tonight.” He whispered into his ear. Vander nodded his head.
Soon all the41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyayJLG0lo2
nobles disappeared back into the castle while their guards were taken into the41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJDfOLlhR2
city to their lodgings. While they were here it meant more overtime for the41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBjJWD3wlO
Blades and city guards because they had to make sure they behaved themselves41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNVHTMfS1M
with the locals. The only ones left other than Charles and Vander were the two41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTPKTgId9H
generals who seemed to be discussing something with Alphonse. A moment later41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjk1pX6LxR
they split up and both Eric and his son went into the castle, likely to see41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDU5YkPVZz
Anna. However, Jasper walked over to the two of them.
“Commander.” His41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jGzBUA7aK
voice was curt, angry.
“General.”41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt8Z8DiPdJ
Charles tried to hide the disdain in his voice.
“I heard my41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJSM1aftiS
daughter went to see you.” Jasper glared down at Vander. He shrugged in41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsGG1y9nAp
response. Suddenly Jasper grabbed Vander by the neck causing Shea to jump to41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4UopbtRaK
her feet snarling. “You stay away from my daughter, or I will make sure you41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6z5wM8GHL
never see the light of day again.”
“Are you41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Iq7I305gg
threatening my grandson, General?” Charles asked. Suddenly Alexander and a few41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xgq3rPGm4
other Blades surrounded him with their hands on their swords.
“Not a threat.”41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Pr5gjSeR
He said. “A warning.” He studied Vander for a second before pushing him away.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K2LhyBZUC
“If I find out you even breathe in her direction, you will regret it.”
“No more than the41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBJBEwghjh
King regrets making you a General I’m sure.” Vander choked out. “I’m sure the41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJISEjVzQF
prince would find this very interesting.”
“I don’t know41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrt1Aum0A9
what he sees in you, you worthless trash.” With that he pushed past them41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4XEguwWlS
disappearing inside the castle.
“He’s really41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NTMBL3dUP
possessive of his daughter isn’t he?” Alex asked.
“He’s possessive41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6z0l1UVsA
of the power she could give him through breeding.” Vander sighed. He rubbed his41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb6GxYnuOl
neck to try and rub the feeling back into it.
“Vander if he41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6KqVHPFIc
touches you again, kill him.” Charles growled. “I will deal with the fall back,41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0fns7G49O
but he will not touch you again without dire consequences.”

bowed his head. “Now let’s go. I expect this party will be interesting.”
