Chapter 36
The crowds had already gathered by55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHd67Gm11W
the time Vander had left the basement and been brought outside. He could feel55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLHh4UKeEJ
that everything was placed on a knife’s edge just waiting for someone to do55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU7d1asHvu
something to light a match under the powder keg. There were five soldiers in55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG2c91DHxm
front of him, two of them were holding the chains to his hands, while the five55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJETiPFNRXV
behind him were holding his leg iron chains. There were guards surrounding him55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHitNzEmt21
as well to keep anyone from trying anything, or to keep him from escaping.
“How do you like the crowd?”55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiqdauJIzl
Vander turned his head to see Leon smirking next to him. Leon had always felt55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU69SFBn7O
inferior to Vander, he wasn’t sure why, but it was always a one-sided contest55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXBdTGJV2s
between the two of them.
“I’m glad to see you haven’t55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pM4Z5W76k
changed at all.” Vander snorted. “I assume that this was your doing?”
“Of course.” Leon laughed. “I55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqJoamyQtb
wanted everyone to see you fall. It would make quite the story don’t you55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4rCl8fQDg
think?”
“If you think this will change55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2lYyeQq6x
anyone’s mind about you, you’re sadly mistaken.” Vander shook his head. “You’re55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwhZeGCY5D
still just a baby hiding behind his father’s power. No one will respect you. No55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3CGdBAWCV
one will like you. The sooner you face facts, the happier you will be.”
“I don’t have to take that from a55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5RB41VMcp
king slayer.” Leon hissed. “I’ll be there in the front row when they hang you.”55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtRR9mTY8n
With that Leon walked off to the front of the procession.
As they made their way into the55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzghZdchXb
east district, Vander saw some familiar faces amongst the crowd. Many of them55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeKaYLu8Oe
he had helped in the past and while he was glad to see them, he was embarrassed55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK9WHKEYeF
to have them see him like this. He wasn’t Malcolm’s killer, but did the others55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb5KJL7mKZ
believe him? It was hard to be sure. His eyes met Julianna’s. She didn’t look55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMa1EiCHqd
away, but her face was grim. He turned away from her.
“Vander!” He heard her shout.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IQGYuwe8I
“Don’t give up, we’re with you!” He looked over to see that Julianna had held55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NMkqoRpOz
her fist up in the air. Slowly and surely the others did the same. They didn’t55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJueHyhGLo
scream, they didn’t shout, they didn’t rush the soldiers to free him. They55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYvO8HBjZn
showed solidarity with him, as if they didn’t believe what was being said about55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g7VMwnQBu
him. He would have to prove their trust in him was correctly placed.
“Keep it moving!” one of the55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkrNWJyt9u
guards shoved Vander in the back causing him to stumble. He caught himself and55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpy06EDS2d
kept walking.
The road through the middle55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvG3lquMyO
district was cleared for everyone. The nobles didn’t care about this, it was55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvF2zLI3iX
below their station. They were likely asleep or cheating on their spouses. It55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuWhJhrnzk
was those in the third ring that would give him the most difficult time: the55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfvVg5DcqJ
comrades he served with for most of his life. It was their judgement that would55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfHlxys6XH
hurt the most. Nothing could prepare him for what he expected to face from55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIkuU9MQSu
them.
The Blades were standing on both55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFJ0aF16yO
sides of the road with the rest of the army behind them. He knew Alex wasn’t55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwzcjeH2S1
there, but he saw Chicken, Rooster, Forest, Briar, and Eve standing amongst55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CLDpvkCI3
them. In the few months he had been gone, it looked as though they had aged55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22VFuvuAkF
considerably. He could tell Chicken was close to tears, but she held them back.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0USYr6FPy
Rooster looked straight ahead with a bewildered expression on his face. Forest55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZF9KPxpwE
and Briar held each other’s hands, but Eve looked annoyed for some reason. He55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBW2inafHW
felt a little bad that his grandfather wasn’t around. He had taken the brunt of55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccOM6059Kg
the punishment and now it would be his turn if he couldn’t convince the council55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc7ML10RHi
he was innocent.
He was brought up the castle steps55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTlZrili8w
then towards the council chamber. Most of his guard detail was left behind with55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fk2DvF346
only the four guards holding his chains, Eric Jilena, and Leon escorting him to55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLUnNYgvrK
the council chamber for judgement to be passed upon him. However, they took him55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1oSFl6gYE
to the throne room instead. Two Blades opened the door revealing the large55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zqx0pNasa
empty space, the only thing there was the throne where Cuvera was sitting.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhD9E4C5hE
Behind him was Kiara and Eliza. Spaced evenly around them were the remaining55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpcGrT6yJH
council members and they did not look happy in the least.
Peyton Cranton sat next to Cuvera55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytj29CCCXI
with a small smile on his face. He had likely been waiting for this for a very55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOSqA9z7RP
long time.
“We brought him.” Eric pulled the55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvHECjW0nB
chains causing Vander to stumble, falling to his knees.
“Remove the chains.” Cuvera55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8S9SBeIcz
instructed.
“My King?” Eric asked. “Is that55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2DrV6yXGU
wise? He already killed your father and my son. He’s dangerous. He should be…”
“I gave you an order General.”55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyP58Od8DO
Cuvera snapped. “Do not make me repeat myself.” Eric debated whether to55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU5bpu0GtE
disobey, but eventually he relented. Vander felt the chains leave his hands55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmARjQTGvVf
then clatter on the ground. He rubbed his wrists tenderly hoping to get the55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChNUaHDKrM
feeling back into them. “Step forward.”
Vander walked until he was ten55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh7zQTwmOX
feet away from the throne, before dropping to one knee, bowing in front of his55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFpdhAI0By
friend. He looked up to see that Cuvera had aged considerably these past few55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKtHB3sT7T
months. He was now sporting a thick brown beard. His eyes were dark, likely not55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiWnLej4Mu
getting enough sleep, and it appeared as though Kiara was pregnant with their55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRciZCkKAl
first child. She was looking at Vander with a worried expression on her face.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQo2bR6aNU
Eliza’s face was unreadable, but he detected some concern in her eyes. He55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkzbN5p0G5
didn’t want to give anything away, so he just kept his eyes focused straight55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDVVEa6PR2
ahead.
He noticed that the four Warden’s55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NXQ7FbjBb
from the other regions were also in attendance. Jewelthorne looked bored, as if55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmLfIxjnz0
he had been forced to be there. Valyrian looked at him with disgust while55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzR8j8QJDl
Whitesun, the one he knew the least, looked at him with interest. Mari looked55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeW5EhEjnB
at him with a small smile, as if she was telling him that everything was going55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhNqUVk631
to be alright. Despite her demeanor, he felt that it was going to be everything55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLiLCfV8sL
but.
“You know why you are here,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcko85tJoIH
Vander, Blade Captain?” Cuvera’s voice echoed through the room.
“Yes.” Vander admitted. “I am55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjRajiMCEi
accused of killing Malcolm and Jeffery Jilena.”
“Last night you were also seen55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkRMZxMESC
fleeing from the northern district right before Humi, Humjir’s head priest, was55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u4fJxgszv
found dead.” Cuvera explained.
“Humi died?” Vander was55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GRhQvsUxm
disappointed. He had hoped that the guards would have gotten there in time, but55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DOMWzlpsc
he guessed wrong.
“What do you have to say for55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvndgRJK5Dj
yourself?”
“Innocent on all accounts.” A55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuI7svVXdj
collective gasp went up from the council members. Anna Jilena looked like her55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs40LrlgZJf
head was about to explode.
“I’ll give you a chance to tell55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdHGW7LEbl
your side of the story.” Cuvera said. “Explain to me how Lord Cranton saw you55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ilP8wBgc
kill my father, us all watching you flee the room in a hurry, then finding55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuhzgI0Imh
Jeffery Jilena dead on the ground with his throat cut.”
“I see.” Vander sighed. “Must we55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rIE2QN5Ac
do this in front of them?” He motioned towards the council. “I’d rather just55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMoatkZm1v
talk to you alone.”
“So, you could kill him?” Peyton55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhLy1COpuY
laughed. “I think not. You’re the criminal here, you don’t get special55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJmVazfc2R
treatment.” As much as he hated to admit it, Peyton was right. So, he told them55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmpyKVRFNK
what had happened.
He started by talking about what55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE6oUv0OY7
had happened in the catacombs when Cuvera went to visit his mother. Boar had55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR9q1TzSdf
come to him in a vision, telling him to grab the book on the gods that Malcolm55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp29Bat6wzN
had shown him in his office. Not bothering to question his ancestor, Vander55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacU37GCOeN
waited until everyone was distracted before sneaking into the library and55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsSWTSzrDb
grabbing the book. Malcolm had seen him, but before either of them could say a55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUxPc06JQy
word to each other Peyton had run him through with a sword.
Peyton didn’t even flinch when55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTagrDXRuZU
Vander pointed at him, and while some of the council members looked at him55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE02KpPqHHS
sideways, Vander could tell very few believed him.
After that, he ran away because he55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w7Ib1a9rX
knew Peyton would blame Vander for the deaths even though he had nothing to do55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllqTbMbeh7
with it. Jeffery had found him on the lawn but had asked Vander to knock him55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lQB88PhrQ
out then escape. Vander punched him in the stomach before jumping against the55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyGHC65mEz
wall.
Topal whispered to the council55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRaG4MmBM9
member next to him, but it was so quiet that Vander could hear what was being55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWFuseSBpB
said.
Vander continued. He fled to the55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs6XeGgC5A
Orange Fox because he knew the stigma surrounding the place would keep him safe55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa3ZKsQd0D
while he could figure out what to do next. For three months he used the55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjQsB0iMeN
resources available to him to track down and find the Serpents, however he55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26yHljHz72
didn’t go into too much detail. He killed seven of them, then discovered a note55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzXuTaLytO
sending an assassin known as Fang after him. Afterwards he went to talk to Humi55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsRRsfNP80
when they were attacked by an assassin. He told Vander to flee while holding55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEfuFn8JQq
them off, but he guessed he didn’t last much longer after that.
“Then you found me two days55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfynL4jMt3D
later.” Vander finished. “That’s all that happened.”
“Seems whoever you talk to just55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSyjeQ7KTn
seems to be killed.” Peyton said. “There is a pattern here, Vander, I’m not55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiTezkkA0k
sure if anyone else can see it, but I can.”
“I also agree with Peyton.” Anna55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFkvQY0Upx
Jilena seethed. “My son is dead because of you. Your story of what happened is55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVBXiZbsWf
nonsense. My son’s throat was cut, there no question there.”
“If I may.” Topal raised his hand.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqzNlwFSKj
“When I did the autopsy of Jeffery, I noticed some discoloration around his55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXli4JmVvV
diaphragm along with some bruising within his lungs. To me, it seemed as though55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizSJRf150l
he had been struck five minutes before his throat was cut. There also wasn’t a55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykpSidxSo1
blood trail leading from the body to the wall.”
“He killed him!” Anna screeched.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoAlw2NMKb
Bickering broke out amongst the council members causing Cuvera to stand up from55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFKLJRlY4q
the throne.
“Take him to the dungeons until we55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxoMTpSWxZ
get this settled.” Cuvera instructed. Bowing his head, Eric placed his hand on55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJphjZgDhvO
Vander’s shoulders. Sighing, Vander stood up allowing himself to be led towards55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkagVUdEWir
the dungeons.
Before Eric handed him over to the55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryjsu0pjjx
jailers, he made Vander face him.
“My son, Jeffery, he respected you55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpMsM9mmiT
a lot.” He spoke. “For his sake, I hope your innocent.”

“I am.” Vander nodded. Perhaps55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1NGDf2kFk
taking some solace at that fact, Eric gave him a small smile. He snapped his55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GQnKS02Bm
fingers. The two jailers walked up, grabbed Vander’s arms, and brought him to55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojp1af4HGc
his cell. They pushed him into the dank, musty flat that had rags for a blanket55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GjQMyI1VB
and very little warmth. The slammed the door shut, covering him in darkness.
