Chapter 36
The crowds had already gathered by54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJoqt6BUO6
the time Vander had left the basement and been brought outside. He could feel54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8jqzoCQoN
that everything was placed on a knife’s edge just waiting for someone to do54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegMkXHA4p7
something to light a match under the powder keg. There were five soldiers in54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFjHK7jgbX
front of him, two of them were holding the chains to his hands, while the five54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPSJoPNpAK
behind him were holding his leg iron chains. There were guards surrounding him54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8zFpYkYi8
as well to keep anyone from trying anything, or to keep him from escaping.
“How do you like the crowd?”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuozWDCFCMF
Vander turned his head to see Leon smirking next to him. Leon had always felt54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG6ptzJqjN
inferior to Vander, he wasn’t sure why, but it was always a one-sided contest54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5quHHJoZz
between the two of them.
“I’m glad to see you haven’t54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXOMlQb7Ug
changed at all.” Vander snorted. “I assume that this was your doing?”
“Of course.” Leon laughed. “I54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMh7sZBs5A
wanted everyone to see you fall. It would make quite the story don’t you54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuggBuAvxR
think?”
“If you think this will change54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPDklbNuuB
anyone’s mind about you, you’re sadly mistaken.” Vander shook his head. “You’re54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjnQFG6Il9
still just a baby hiding behind his father’s power. No one will respect you. No54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaPCNiNa9Y
one will like you. The sooner you face facts, the happier you will be.”
“I don’t have to take that from a54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wXKu1Dlnc
king slayer.” Leon hissed. “I’ll be there in the front row when they hang you.”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGqhKwe5lI
With that Leon walked off to the front of the procession.
As they made their way into the54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIArIUnEnd
east district, Vander saw some familiar faces amongst the crowd. Many of them54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlWFYj3GRv
he had helped in the past and while he was glad to see them, he was embarrassed54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5dMTt2yxq
to have them see him like this. He wasn’t Malcolm’s killer, but did the others54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnRwYiRXeI
believe him? It was hard to be sure. His eyes met Julianna’s. She didn’t look54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsHhrNgu43
away, but her face was grim. He turned away from her.
“Vander!” He heard her shout.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDaFVlgAil
“Don’t give up, we’re with you!” He looked over to see that Julianna had held54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HJZvaPwYN
her fist up in the air. Slowly and surely the others did the same. They didn’t54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMZ0oYSrjW
scream, they didn’t shout, they didn’t rush the soldiers to free him. They54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7wA4s0RxW
showed solidarity with him, as if they didn’t believe what was being said about54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSDKDTMPWW
him. He would have to prove their trust in him was correctly placed.
“Keep it moving!” one of the54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAp4tkuCyl
guards shoved Vander in the back causing him to stumble. He caught himself and54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJaJXUbgCz
kept walking.
The road through the middle54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6SYlRCXqU
district was cleared for everyone. The nobles didn’t care about this, it was54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3lvEpHcrr
below their station. They were likely asleep or cheating on their spouses. It54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CyAtahew9
was those in the third ring that would give him the most difficult time: the54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0TNRoz3nb
comrades he served with for most of his life. It was their judgement that would54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJqKzJjnKF
hurt the most. Nothing could prepare him for what he expected to face from54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u4jOu67ql
them.
The Blades were standing on both54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdstg2NJSG
sides of the road with the rest of the army behind them. He knew Alex wasn’t54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLChhn4lGy
there, but he saw Chicken, Rooster, Forest, Briar, and Eve standing amongst54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSHQY9qfX7
them. In the few months he had been gone, it looked as though they had aged54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv1qhe2nQL
considerably. He could tell Chicken was close to tears, but she held them back.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaU9TtbpUd
Rooster looked straight ahead with a bewildered expression on his face. Forest54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XAIPagAEH
and Briar held each other’s hands, but Eve looked annoyed for some reason. He54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAAr74Pm6z
felt a little bad that his grandfather wasn’t around. He had taken the brunt of54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23xRbWtSZZ
the punishment and now it would be his turn if he couldn’t convince the council54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDrawo9BqR
he was innocent.
He was brought up the castle steps54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtev16kIpMe
then towards the council chamber. Most of his guard detail was left behind with54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XtUpr3gup
only the four guards holding his chains, Eric Jilena, and Leon escorting him to54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5oW17JVi0
the council chamber for judgement to be passed upon him. However, they took him54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBpn5a0Veq
to the throne room instead. Two Blades opened the door revealing the large54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEcUV1dJaz
empty space, the only thing there was the throne where Cuvera was sitting.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDySjuIYE3
Behind him was Kiara and Eliza. Spaced evenly around them were the remaining54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPolw4wqGJ
council members and they did not look happy in the least.
Peyton Cranton sat next to Cuvera54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnlNnVcMsW
with a small smile on his face. He had likely been waiting for this for a very54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWs4GDjFyj
long time.
“We brought him.” Eric pulled the54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ1fNO1Zzz
chains causing Vander to stumble, falling to his knees.
“Remove the chains.” Cuvera54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvL9Z14BpB
instructed.
“My King?” Eric asked. “Is that54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRDHXdutDO
wise? He already killed your father and my son. He’s dangerous. He should be…”
“I gave you an order General.”54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlawh9qO2AM
Cuvera snapped. “Do not make me repeat myself.” Eric debated whether to54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcTe5AwRcy
disobey, but eventually he relented. Vander felt the chains leave his hands54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzUq19jhBR
then clatter on the ground. He rubbed his wrists tenderly hoping to get the54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhpLNhRNsU
feeling back into them. “Step forward.”
Vander walked until he was ten54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYAoYOJEvE
feet away from the throne, before dropping to one knee, bowing in front of his54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO9G9YYZE5
friend. He looked up to see that Cuvera had aged considerably these past few54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekAxHj2Mu8
months. He was now sporting a thick brown beard. His eyes were dark, likely not54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCTBxFn9iy
getting enough sleep, and it appeared as though Kiara was pregnant with their54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wzKNDQ70W
first child. She was looking at Vander with a worried expression on her face.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyIP4wwId7
Eliza’s face was unreadable, but he detected some concern in her eyes. He54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXWkWhnawA
didn’t want to give anything away, so he just kept his eyes focused straight54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEDbYLVq5L
ahead.
He noticed that the four Warden’s54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXidIRITHzE
from the other regions were also in attendance. Jewelthorne looked bored, as if54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaHBwbZ0Uj
he had been forced to be there. Valyrian looked at him with disgust while54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz8MRaOVfZ
Whitesun, the one he knew the least, looked at him with interest. Mari looked54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6TMCC5Tl2
at him with a small smile, as if she was telling him that everything was going54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw869urqVn
to be alright. Despite her demeanor, he felt that it was going to be everything54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1yPPX3EOJ
but.
“You know why you are here,54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gdrvvAEiR
Vander, Blade Captain?” Cuvera’s voice echoed through the room.
“Yes.” Vander admitted. “I am54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDNXf60a4g
accused of killing Malcolm and Jeffery Jilena.”
“Last night you were also seen54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn999qe3G1N
fleeing from the northern district right before Humi, Humjir’s head priest, was54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTYmoXLWDm
found dead.” Cuvera explained.
“Humi died?” Vander was54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqWGS1eRiY
disappointed. He had hoped that the guards would have gotten there in time, but54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs651jk05jM
he guessed wrong.
“What do you have to say for54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpvI3fhGt5
yourself?”
“Innocent on all accounts.” A54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz3OzbNkeO
collective gasp went up from the council members. Anna Jilena looked like her54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZS4j6FA3K
head was about to explode.
“I’ll give you a chance to tell54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBNzt8CAQF
your side of the story.” Cuvera said. “Explain to me how Lord Cranton saw you54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwyQfShMBT
kill my father, us all watching you flee the room in a hurry, then finding54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz8lMOlXTF
Jeffery Jilena dead on the ground with his throat cut.”
“I see.” Vander sighed. “Must we54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CKK4HZd05
do this in front of them?” He motioned towards the council. “I’d rather just54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEPA0dSF1N
talk to you alone.”
“So, you could kill him?” Peyton54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA2uDstzfc
laughed. “I think not. You’re the criminal here, you don’t get special54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExEnRcNolR
treatment.” As much as he hated to admit it, Peyton was right. So, he told them54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh4fkWzbHG
what had happened.
He started by talking about what54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVtfxkqyZg
had happened in the catacombs when Cuvera went to visit his mother. Boar had54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLPTCShwZm
come to him in a vision, telling him to grab the book on the gods that Malcolm54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83xjr5dOLW
had shown him in his office. Not bothering to question his ancestor, Vander54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3LatKMaaH
waited until everyone was distracted before sneaking into the library and54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLfhKbr98g
grabbing the book. Malcolm had seen him, but before either of them could say a54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZAaFfPpgB
word to each other Peyton had run him through with a sword.
Peyton didn’t even flinch when54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1WtjAoasw
Vander pointed at him, and while some of the council members looked at him54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2othV8V0P
sideways, Vander could tell very few believed him.
After that, he ran away because he54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiEovwEGgb
knew Peyton would blame Vander for the deaths even though he had nothing to do54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWWpv8Qrlx
with it. Jeffery had found him on the lawn but had asked Vander to knock him54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EimETZDqK
out then escape. Vander punched him in the stomach before jumping against the54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpjuuyPJIE
wall.
Topal whispered to the council54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6k3hSvvGV
member next to him, but it was so quiet that Vander could hear what was being54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qbtJntqKZ
said.
Vander continued. He fled to the54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda1fYylmzV
Orange Fox because he knew the stigma surrounding the place would keep him safe54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UNN1qP0BQ
while he could figure out what to do next. For three months he used the54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnw9CDtkxK
resources available to him to track down and find the Serpents, however he54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4VmyRnSPG
didn’t go into too much detail. He killed seven of them, then discovered a note54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E8GPghCEs
sending an assassin known as Fang after him. Afterwards he went to talk to Humi54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8GBFMu8Jv
when they were attacked by an assassin. He told Vander to flee while holding54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhZ249gWLy
them off, but he guessed he didn’t last much longer after that.
“Then you found me two days54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RyR9iJMNq
later.” Vander finished. “That’s all that happened.”
“Seems whoever you talk to just54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KlA1xGTTV
seems to be killed.” Peyton said. “There is a pattern here, Vander, I’m not54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lmCoD9KPJ
sure if anyone else can see it, but I can.”
“I also agree with Peyton.” Anna54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUdx2IKuWb
Jilena seethed. “My son is dead because of you. Your story of what happened is54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWLrc9Pmcn
nonsense. My son’s throat was cut, there no question there.”
“If I may.” Topal raised his hand.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0egiVDGAT
“When I did the autopsy of Jeffery, I noticed some discoloration around his54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VFXhLiudM
diaphragm along with some bruising within his lungs. To me, it seemed as though54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHiibnSQfv
he had been struck five minutes before his throat was cut. There also wasn’t a54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsClI5voBTf
blood trail leading from the body to the wall.”
“He killed him!” Anna screeched.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlkMaYhkW3
Bickering broke out amongst the council members causing Cuvera to stand up from54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbG5sSHG0C
the throne.
“Take him to the dungeons until we54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jocHxj9Kl
get this settled.” Cuvera instructed. Bowing his head, Eric placed his hand on54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa5arB2kAv
Vander’s shoulders. Sighing, Vander stood up allowing himself to be led towards54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz3E6nv8ao
the dungeons.
Before Eric handed him over to the54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTglXUnjCS1
jailers, he made Vander face him.
“My son, Jeffery, he respected you54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTtKxUcwLW
a lot.” He spoke. “For his sake, I hope your innocent.”

“I am.” Vander nodded. Perhaps54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHuzSsBoOo
taking some solace at that fact, Eric gave him a small smile. He snapped his54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWuL9nzvXo
fingers. The two jailers walked up, grabbed Vander’s arms, and brought him to54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4uPiyJUDP
his cell. They pushed him into the dank, musty flat that had rags for a blanket54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXDbVBSPh0
and very little warmth. The slammed the door shut, covering him in darkness.
