Chapter 13
After the unnerving meeting with10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC60UdA1W4
Veyar, again, Vander tucked Mari into her bed and quietly left so he didn’t10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3HF2SU6R2
disturb anyone in the apartment. Once he arrived at the bottom of the steps,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGx3HuKxfV
her guards handed him back his sword while the Blades bowed to both him and10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHzjwbLiNB
Shea. Then he headed back to his old room.
He hated that he was now10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgUZuUAyeB
practically confined to the castle, but he knew it came from a place of care.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt1SmSpYJK
This was the second time in as many weeks he had been attacked, and even though10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYEMhuxkrf
he hadn’t been harmed this time, the fact that he had been so blatantly10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGSsDv88vN
targeted meant he was in danger no matter what. He was lucky to have Alex10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAAGyPL1zv
watching his back, but if the assassins were smart, they would wait until he10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUzdbcxDJL
was alone during the festivities to celebrate the prince’s marriage while10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN4glstmAH
everyone was distracted. It’s what he would do. But for now, he had to focus on10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnest5dWzlr
getting the recruits ready. Despite what his grandfather thought, they were10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4l7LG48sr
better off being used rather than left to the side. If things were going the10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcYv18zsmt
way he expected they would, they would have to be ready sooner rather than10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hVIGgToUi
later.
The five recruits stood in front10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB8y9YH9c6
of him, each admiring the new swords he had given to them from the Blade10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0cZcGDpdc
armory. They would be the exact swords they would be given upon graduating, but10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvlonUAcRJ
Vander had gone to Charles early in the morning, shortly before meeting them10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fEksvcjCu
for the training session and begged him to allow them to train with their10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9kEIqfQt7
actual swords just in case. They argued for a little while before the older man10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjakWXp0PeB
finally relented under the condition that he come to see how they were doing.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4VK4SCVwj
Vander agreed and now Charles was standing between him and Alex looking the10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqBhb4xC5F
recruits over with a critical eye.
“These swords will be your10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqP5jeDsw8
livelihood.” Vander instructed as he paced in front of the recruits as they10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGipSmccfN
stared down at their weapons with a mixture of awe and fear. “They are made10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT5Rhg2fdj
with viriuum from the Northern Mountains. They will not bend; they will not10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMl1Pyfc3y
break. They were created with your abilities in mind, they are an extension of10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkKhOf8aux
you and need to be treated with respect.”
“I thought we were supposed to get10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGte0SaAJGk
these only when we became full Blades.” Rooster asked. “Or, at the very least,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gYcQ4Ofp9
trainees, why do we have them now?”
“Circumstances may allow you to be10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1K7vld5jv
graduated early.” Charles stepped up. “You’ve heard about the attacks on the10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TsJIHUQRX
castle and in the city. You might be needed early than originally planned, but10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58QvzhMzbT
first you must prove to me you deserve the chance.” Forest and Briar grinned10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpANFCBUZwZ
like a couple of idiots.
“What do we have to do?” They10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74O90aA2n6
asked in unison. To everyone’s surprise, aside from Vander’s, Charles unbuckled10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1qbDvciQ4
his sword then tossed it to Alex.
“You will have to10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywdldVyExh
fight against me.” Then he removed his jacket and tossed it to Vander. Despite10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEIOCF0wx6
how old he was, he was still an absolute unit of a man. His arms were thick10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvySIuUELf4
from his years of fighting and training recruits as well as having the10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qr9ZAQbnL
knowledge of fighting packed into his head. Despite all the times Vander had10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsmLVfrMMI
challenged him since he was old enough to wear the uniform, he had never beaten10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefbTTG1P9W
him, not once.
“One at a time or10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DTpiMhwLw
altogether?” Rooster asked.
“However, you10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFvMEUbsuF
want.” Charles grinned. “Weapons are allowed, so just try and make this10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvGlZVkh4B
entertaining for me.” The recruits emboldened by the challenge rose to their10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKErcxnFvyO
feet.
Forever the good10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxG6HJTYcB
sport, Rooster sheathed his sword, carefully placing his jacket on the ground10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Y1UaBmWz
and putting the sword on top. He stretched for a second before charging at his10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuCwmrjOxI
Commander. He threw his weight around Charles’s middle to get him onto his10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlFVYHm0Yx
back, but Charles stood his ground. He brought his fists up then hammered them10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrh6igyjnw
down in Rooster’s back. When his grip weakened, Charles brought his knee up10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeHNUuESt2
into Rooster’s stomach then flipped him around, so he hit the ground hard. He10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyHM0uwTUl
went to stamp down on Rooster’s stomach, but he rolled away.
Rooster had taken10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqdxv6rwtB
damage, that much was certain. He staggered back to his feet then spit out a10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkVux2V7V1
wad of blood. Grinning, he raised his fists in front of him, but Vander could10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu51Kx5Weve
tell he didn’t have much left in him. His legs were shaking, and it was taking10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppHkgKG9gB
all his energy just to stand. However, he should have stayed down. Charles10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62tISdpVdF
didn’t go easy on anyone; Vander knew that firsthand. Charles didn’t hesitate.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBZuGeKYrP
He began throwing punch after punch at Rooster. At first, he did a good job10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzfJnybK4s
blocking, but it was like defending against a hammer. His arms became heavy,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4bGsWzC0R
and he could no longer block many of the blows. He started taking strikes to10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t57qGeJQi
his face and chest. Rooster’s eyes rolled to the back of his head, but he10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumWxUHE0Kg
stayed standing. Charles threw another punch but once he noticed Rooster’s10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK4PmIXZL9
condition, he stopped. A second later he10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUCiwzeEQE
fell to the ground unconscious.
Charles didn’t10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT5wSccwBf
look bothered by beating up a recruit, but based on the admiration in his eye,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvsxrNAMLE
Rooster passed. That just left the other four. As usual, Forest and Briar10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMfT2KhypV
decided to go after him together. Their teamwork has been a lot better since10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUTnRdwg7H
their trail in the forest, but they would still be no match for Charles.
They went after10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclP6f5Dr6h
him, one on each side. Both aimed a punch to his cheek, but he blocked them,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba1hqR3815
then grabbed their wrists and pulled them into each other. Their bodies10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIoel3vLBa
collided with a painful crack. They fell to the ground rubbing their heads10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTQDiVoWvU
together. They didn’t stay down for long, they again got up and began10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR2jOk2p7I
assaulting him, but Charles started to move. He made sure to keep himself away10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutR8IOqvdQ
from the two of them, always moving his body so they would get in each other’s10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQL2DCbwbR
way. They got so used to his movements that when he stopped, they kept going.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS8xYAO3oo
Charles aimed a kick at Forest’s side which he wasn’t kick enough to move out10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnHtsiaFi0
of the way. He brought his arm up to block, but the kick was too forceful.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tcnlPgzht
Forest collided with Briar and Vander was sure his arm was broken. The two of10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKYpllh1Ca
them didn’t get back up.
Charles didn’t10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdgDxHfDvT
have time to see If they were alright. Eve came at him with her sword10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPh55JdxXI
unsheathed. He slowly dodged sideways the sword trimmed off a couple of hairs10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Er0nan1xp
from his head. Not skipping a beat, once she realized she had missed, he turned10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qHW8EYpQt
the blade and went for a horizontal slash aiming for his chest. He blocked the10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW50gomyQW
strike with his armored boot then slammed it onto the ground. If it was any10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Eyx14Gf9v
other metal, it would have snapped in half. She let go of the hilt to throw a10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCvm7R6kHH
punch which he easily blocked. He countered by punching her in the jaw,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hWcbtaszH
knocking her unconscious.
Vander frowned as10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyBcaJJndN
he looked at her body. She had lost so easily, but it had also been slobby.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJjuVq8PSt
During training in the woods, she was a much better fighter than she showed10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPRmBe6QE9
just now. Was he just blinded or had she intentionally thrown the match with10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0g83a04a6
the commander?
Charles got up10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54sQvEfuNv
and looked over at Chicken who held his gaze. “And what do you have for me?” he10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNsBeMSSYk
asked her.
“I’m not much of10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqE4mjKzDu
a fighter.” She rubbed the back of her head.
“Then what use10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDjRdMZeox
are you to me?” he asked. If she was offended by the question she didn’t show10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2z8Knkx4n
it.
“I have a perfect10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9IXOvanqi
recall and excellent head for tactics.” She explained. “What I could do in the10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC59P4BOZuS
battle is negligible as to what I can do when it comes to planning.” Charles10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeKxUiTTsV
folded his arms and looked down at her thoughtfully. Then he proceeded to ask10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBHVZdoXDZ
her questions ranging from military history all the way to tactics and what she10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9j7VZQin4
would do in any given situation. If anything, that battle was more tense than10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f5feAmUPQ
the three he just had with the others. Vander couldn’t even keep track of what10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cxF6PbUAx
was being said. It took a few more minutes before Charles seemed to have been10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMHHujuSMn
satisfied and came back to collect both his sword and jacket.
“They learned10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bJicJciUU
quickly these past six months.” Charles said. “Very well, I agree to them10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H1jmDUCrp
becoming trainees, however, make sure that one knows how to fight.” He hooked a10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxA9zxSHUT
thumb back towards Chicken who had gone over to check on her brother. “Every10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLS90MQK36
Blade must know, even if she spends her time as an advisor. No exceptions.”
“Yes sir.” Vander10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwQGm7s0Ke
bowed.
“I also received10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3We0IAvAK
news that the rest of the Warden’s will be arriving today. I want them properly10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOomuZTgtuX
dressed and standing behind you once we greet them.”
“It will be10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv89VlrmVHC
done.” Satisfied, Charles left heading back towards the castle.
∙
It took about10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3htTpZ15aC
thirty minutes for the recruits to awaken after the beating they took at10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxovN1ekKjm
Charles’ hands. Vander quickly checked them for damage, but Charles was precise10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtslzgzHUcX
in his fighting. Aside from a few bruised ribs and sore stomachs, they were all10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFGFrrPhds
fine. Once he told them they had passed, they all celebrated by dancing around10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnfiODId23
and slapping each other on their backs, their pain long forgotten. Vander was10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56xDd0PdVq
even more surprised that Chicken passed even with her penchant for books10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAocvEbxJQ
instead of fighting. He had told her what the Commander had told him, and she10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB7QD1XIfI
agreed that she had to become better at fighting. She asked for more lessons10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC8nR0jV8o
and Alex agreed. He would be the one to train her. With that done he sent them10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ231ED8F5yb
to the dorms so they could get ready for the Warden’s arrival.
He quickly10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTbcpUwdSz
showered then got changed in his dress uniform. His pants were ironed and10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqck3ozIac
waiting from when he arrived back. His jacket was neatly pressed with the10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMzloDb8RK
creases worked out of it. In a small display container were all the medals he10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjLqAV6oeV
had received since joining and they had to be properly pinned on the jacket. It10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXuRzElyPd
was a lot of work for a couple of hours, but it had to be done or it would10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVtaTxeqzb
reflect badly upon the King and his grandfather.
He put on his10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjECYupXy4
pants followed by a blue dress shirt then he sat down to polish his boots. Shea10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7BRa0G8Ii
sat on the bed watching all of this unfold when her head on top of her paws.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66u2Dsdhu0
Once his boots were right he placed them on and tied them tightly. He turned10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ11JBVPFS
back to Shea.
“Get down here10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTFY6tKqxR
so I can brush your fur.”
“I don’t want10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0QCTUe1SB
to go.” She whined.
“You have to.”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAYWhe18AW
He chided. “You are a Blade, and we are all expected to go. You can sit10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqIoO4JvaV
behind me if you wish, but you will be there. Now get down here.” She10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bWNLcNbeF
glared over at him but did as he asked. She sat down in-between his legs as he10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemNURacqD5
picked up the brush and oil then began combing her. She stayed still for it,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqVl4PrA3m
but when he came to a knot she let her displeasure known with a low growl. He10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBdvq86brj
ignored her and kept going, even though he had to bribe her with more meat in10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gQYMJwl7M
exchange for not biting his hand. Fair trade.
The two of them10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM5qCcpWqa
made their way down the stairs and towards the castle door. There were Blades10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLRFJSNRFv
standing at attention on both sides of the red carpet where the Wardens would10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmdlYmu1e2
walk once they arrived. They would go to the throne room where they would meet10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KPyHT261h
with the others and the council to discuss the wedding and their roles in it,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTERfw7ysQ
and maybe some matters of state. It was rare that outsides would be allowed in,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlePnTa2Ven
and Vander wasn’t an exception.
Shea and Vander10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE1Mpxv1yy
took their positions next to Charles, standing to his left, because the King10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdf8NGp9Dk
was to the right. All the ranking Blades stood next to him while the council10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfShl1gVjLD
members stood on the King’s right side. Mari Drayson and her daughter stood10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA75CVWVhCY
between the King and Viggo Visc, per the custom when any other Warden was in10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbCxZt3x0q
the city. Peyton stood to Viggo’s right while Bernard stood in the door way. To10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSJ20jVicA
the front, in between each, stood a soldier who would protect the council with10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpJspD86tI
their lives if it came down to it, only the King was left unprotected, as it10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VdEOWOnDE
was ceremonial, but also the job of a Blade to risk their lives for the King. Shea10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeviaLhoWQd
took her spot behind Vander but would be ready to act in case her friend’s life10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4J9zNW20z
was in danger. They didn’t have long to wait before the sounds of the drums10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1EJJjqQ0L
were heard from the Western Gates.
Even though the wardens10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOW9Qic0f8
came from the north, west, and south, the western gate was the closest point10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTq0gilNQ3
between the three, so their entire entourage met there and walked through the10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6pvFQEjrP
streets until they reached the King. As the citizens were given enough of a10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2neBXE4QL
warning, the streets were closed in celebration. Vander could hear the cheers10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmyGblJXNr
all the way from where he stood, the noise made his sensitive ears hurt, but he10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1s7Tpm84W
had to stand strong, or others would get suspicious. It took nearly an hour for10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmD5I7dXMT
the Warden’s to make their way to the inner ring, but their entrance was extravagant.
The first warden10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQg0Xup0BD
to appear was Jira Jewelthorne, the Western Warden. He had short black hair and10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvAW370Ayx
black eyes. He wore extravagant and expensive clothing: today he wore opulent10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiJfEaJZy2
gold with red trim. His fingers were adorned with silver and gold rings with various10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibeUZL6bE1
gemstones imbedded inside of them. He had no standing army. Instead, he hired10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG26RfoyH7
mercenaries to protect his kingdom. There was a small squad of ten flaking his10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI5oaj7WZa
horse as he rode. The Blades assigned to protected him were behind them and it10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzanaru0zHe
appeared as though they were holding chains for a man walking between them.
Right behind him10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1ZScYSnCm
came Leida Valariyan, the ruler of Stormcrag. Despite her young age, the10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLLIN0qjMl
youngest of all the wardens, the weather made her cold and unyielding. She sat10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYHhEbF8rL
stony faced upon her horse, her salt gray hair tied back in a ponytail, her10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOxoBXsqYW
green eyes looking straight at the King. She was a warrior through and through.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK40WfYZDE
The only person she brought with her was10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOz13db6xW
her cloaked fighter, Drakon, No one knew what he looked like underneath that10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60ZwW7cL87
ratty black cloak, even Vander’s eyes couldn’t pierce the shadows. Whoever he10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2EQdMJnl5
was, he was enchanted. Five Blades with terrified expressions followed behind10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVRMVVQhXJ
her. Charles would have to give them the next week off to recover.
The final warden10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcMjmBx0iF
was Malakai Whitesun. He exuded power and strength. In wars past he was the10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZLJsIAbmm
King’s most trusted confidant, and it was due to his family that the rest of10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb9q6pKXAO
Eluvia was safe from Bricen’s attacks. His entire body was tanned from living10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYy3kgpsMC
down there and due to the heat he kept his head shaved. He wore a white vest,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpfhpiEhtf
with nothing else on underneath, and white poofy pants that allowed him to stay10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNgbZhUY9n
cool even in the hottest conditions. He had his own general which was borrowed10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBVbVabuyO
from the city: Eric Jilena, the patriarch and husband to Anna Jilena. Sitting10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOtFd28ovd
behind him was his son, Alphonse, who was poised to take his father’s position.
The six main10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8ftJIkSV9
figures got down from their horses to walk up the red carpet while the others10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFxMk9Kcw4
stayed where they were. A few feet from the King, each of them got down on one10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxILOEMITV
knee then bowed their heads.
“Rise my10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsAlXEhUVU
friends.” Malcom laughed. He walked down to greet them, his blue trimmed, white10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyHQfKkE2L
cape dragged on to the floor behind him. He stood each of their hands in turn,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g34PxtGfC
his royal signet out for everyone to see. While he got to Leida, she presented10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShLKBo6548
her cheek so he could kiss it. “I hope your travels were fair.”
“They were10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKtHUcsL6b
indeed.” Jira laughed, his voice fake, but the gleam in his eyes weren’t as he10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXpXgoxlJI
gazed at the noblewomen standing in the line. “My mercenaries are in dire need10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ308vZklLQy
of food, drink and entertainment, as am I.”
“And they will10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FnuIAWtPL
have them.” Malcolm chuckled. “And how are you General? Are you excited to be10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEULOK8Qjld
back home?”
“I am my King.” Eric10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXO0OnzrS9
bowed. “I have missed my wife and other children greatly.”
“And you10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwyF5bebUt
Alphonse?” he turned to the general’s youngest son.
“Yes, my lord.”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWn0U333yz
Alphonse bowed his head. “Though I’m afraid this weather will take some time to10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRPeNMgIcp
get used to again.”
“I have food for10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvzzRmC7yV
you all inside.” Malcolm turned to step back towards the castle. “If you would10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKXLgjPlAJ
please follow me.”
“Not yet my10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkvBDrruDx
King.” Malakai placed his hand on the King’s shoulder. Vander involuntarily10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH7EUBxk3M
went for his sword, but his grandfather’s glare kept his hand still. “We have a10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZvdkAduBQ
surprise for you.” Malakai turned and shouted: “MAKE WAY FOR THE PRINCE!” All10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfRmddAhiq
at once, all those in attendance stepped aside and saluted. A carriage, unseen10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQlE0zWyIn
by everyone opened and Cuvera, along with two veiled women walked out. The last10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpR1qqVstt
person out was General Jasper Valentin, Bree’s father.
Upon seeing his10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAdM2mN1XI
father, Cuvera smiled. His sandy brown hair flowed in the wind as he locked the10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36RVWZttfW
same-colored eyes on his father’s. He was wearing a smart blue colored jacket10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZWMVUnsPQ
with the royal family’s crest etched on the front. On his hand was another,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR0RYdCfnF
identical signet ring, to his father’s. He ran up to embrace his father. After10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HLLcViC0L
a moment the two of them broke apart, but Malcolm held onto his son’s arms.
“I wasn’t10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraq6GTtiPo
expecting you for another week.” He gasped. “Why have you arrived so soon.”
“We met up with10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFocBwtOcys
Lord Whiteson as he crossed the river, so we decided to go together. I left the10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXguaOgZZY
main soldiers on the road as Malakai would be able to protect us.” He stepped10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIYufGUooV
back to wave the two women forward. He wrapped his arms around the one wearing10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZtyTQol3e
red and orange. “This lovely lady is my betrothed, Kiara.” She removed her10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeeJX3rD3x
veil, and everyone released their breath they didn’t know they were holding.
Her skin was a10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruuY4Dt89M
deep brown color with vibrant golden eyes. Her dark brown hair was pulled back10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5Lp4gEe9w
into a loose weave, but there were some strands framing her face. You could10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQvF4kSFdS
tell that her body was that of a warrior: lithe, muscular, lethal. Vander could10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhhA7HgXyo

He secretly hoped Cuvera knew what he was in for. Unknown to everyone other10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3grRj7ajKi
than him, he could feel otherworldly power radiating from her that made him10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8IupuRrbb
nervous. It felt as though he was staring at the sun. Even Shea whimpered from10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkzHjK4SA7
behind him.
“It’s nice to10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPStkNE5tTn
meet you all.” She curtsied. Everyone bowed their heads in respect to their10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uzX0KcV51
future queen. Malcolm walked up then kissed both her cheeks before embracing10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySopxe61Zb
her.
“It’s wonderful10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G5GewmNV5
to meet you.” he laughed. “I hope my son has been treating you well on your10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xW7y6PjLl
travels together?” Kiara wrapped her arms through Cuvera’s.
“He’s been10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1Dx2tVB0c
perfect.” She smiled. Her gazed flickered to Vander. Upon noticing him her eyes10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvT4t8nxiU
widened then she whispered something into his ear. He nodded his head then10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrHWYP04hE
turned back to his father.
“There is one10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsLBu06yqD
more person we’d like to introduce everyone too.” He motioned the mystery women10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2KiRXHGMv
forward. She was dressed similarly to Kiara except her uniform was yellow and10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc0YXGGOkQ
silver. She stepped forward then removed her veil. Without waiting for anyone10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp6xdK4kmf
to introduce her, she introduced herself:
“My name is10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo1fo0O52c
Eliza, Kiara’s younger sister and bodyguard.” She curtsied. “I hope to be of10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRTmmNoRNQ
use to all of you here.” She looked over at Vander and the breath left his body10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9Jy3a0ZQi
for a moment. She was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. She was10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7t1ZPOxKH
smaller than Kiara but had more defined muscles. Her brown hair was tied back10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWrA7roGl1
into a tight ponytail, her silver eyes looked at him as if she could see10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNp6gdabaG
everything.
“It would be our10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6ZzHH52uO
honor to have you.” Charles answered.
“Let us go10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAubcKjHtw
inside.” Cuvera offered. “I’m tired from my travels and I’m sure the wardens10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AZfPjWPZs
are as well.”
“Of course.”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmJxFW8dbR
Malcolm grinned. “Bernard made sure everyone’s rooms were made up properly and10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhEKoKllxb
we have spared no expense to have your men as comfortable down in the city as10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiO5rCI2uO
possible. I trust I don’t need to explain the rules?”
“No sir,”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYaSBKPdPu
Whitesun grinned. “We remember what happened last time.”
“Excellent.”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmK9iWMhew
Malcolm clapped his hands. “Come my son, there is much I must talk with you10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl6xOiBLJO
about. My dear Kiara, you should come to so we can get the chance to get to10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICVFvsR7dW
know each other.”
“Yes father.”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9y4gLDUFv
Malcolm laughed at that but wrapped his arms around her shoulders and escorted10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeothskdZcy
her in. Eliza followed close behind unwilling to leave her sister alone in10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtftQKlJ63N
foreign territory. When Cuvera walked past, he gripped Vander’s shoulder.
“Meet me10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqQIrhjR9y
tonight.” He whispered into his ear. Vander nodded his head.
Soon all the10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s6HCcJUhv
nobles disappeared back into the castle while their guards were taken into the10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lFqXByDfH
city to their lodgings. While they were here it meant more overtime for the10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nelHmyoRm
Blades and city guards because they had to make sure they behaved themselves10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRjU8kDyvJ
with the locals. The only ones left other than Charles and Vander were the two10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE6sq3vDGM
generals who seemed to be discussing something with Alphonse. A moment later10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7EAi7hVlw
they split up and both Eric and his son went into the castle, likely to see10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4vphqcTw1
Anna. However, Jasper walked over to the two of them.
“Commander.” His10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC0jDa0t8O
voice was curt, angry.
“General.”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HW3Dtecrv
Charles tried to hide the disdain in his voice.
“I heard my10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHLvar9YmK
daughter went to see you.” Jasper glared down at Vander. He shrugged in10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TadpKINaA
response. Suddenly Jasper grabbed Vander by the neck causing Shea to jump to10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy0eApomtb
her feet snarling. “You stay away from my daughter, or I will make sure you10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxzdu33CaS
never see the light of day again.”
“Are you10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEIX2h1WUe
threatening my grandson, General?” Charles asked. Suddenly Alexander and a few10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGUC80WJqI
other Blades surrounded him with their hands on their swords.
“Not a threat.”10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe4JCPE80E
He said. “A warning.” He studied Vander for a second before pushing him away.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDZyeTosUz
“If I find out you even breathe in her direction, you will regret it.”
“No more than the10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNjLLlOciz
King regrets making you a General I’m sure.” Vander choked out. “I’m sure the10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrVmIPy0Ro
prince would find this very interesting.”
“I don’t know10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsX1VCetqe
what he sees in you, you worthless trash.” With that he pushed past them10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDrX6ke7uJ
disappearing inside the castle.
“He’s really10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY4sACiJ4u
possessive of his daughter isn’t he?” Alex asked.
“He’s possessive10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HE3OgArio
of the power she could give him through breeding.” Vander sighed. He rubbed his10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jHYEVGfav
neck to try and rub the feeling back into it.
“Vander if he10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME92FEqc2a
touches you again, kill him.” Charles growled. “I will deal with the fall back,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrUbEdIfAS
but he will not touch you again without dire consequences.”
