Chapter 11
The party was still in full swing24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrNgZD2wzX
once Alex and Vander left the Inn. Shea had been waiting patiently and even24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXrtHJ82Oy
Right and Left seemed sad to see her go. Alex didn’t say a word the entire trip24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqetAnVrrk
back into the Eastern District, even when they parted, he just headed towards24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9sVoNjNLA
the middle ring not even saying goodnight. He didn’t blame Alex, the first time24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuG6FOA6l9
he had gone to the warehouse and seen the pit wasn’t a happy experience either.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZdS3EgZ2d
The fact the King allowed something like this was even more of a surprise, but24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf8PUcyJlp
it was above their pay grade to know why. However, there was one thing that24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhTGks44Sh
Ross had said that played over and over in his mind. There was a traitor within24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cXX89PSkq
the Blades.
He didn’t know how Ross found that24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc3X4gChbD
out, but he wasn’t one to disregard warnings, not if it had come from him. They24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIWaxDVmTq
had done business in the past and in the beginning, he had been skeptical, but24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp3XM3wmmU
Ross’s warnings and advice almost always came true. He would be an idiot not to24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfhmRyI2Xs
take the warning seriously, but for the life of him he couldn’t figure out who24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpMjHql7P2
it could be. Guess if it was going to be easy, he wouldn’t have needed Ross to24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIBBWMI1Uo
tell him. He would have to discuss everything he had been told with his24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53q7ZlgbO0
grandfather, and the King, tomorrow. For now, he needed rest.
The Inn was quiet by the time the24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkIhfcYfq5
two of them arrived back. Not even Julianna the workaholic was awake, the24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHMINOG6yc
embers in the fireplace gave off little more than a slight glow. The two of24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumTsTvQBYk
them slowly walked up the stairs being careful not to disturb the sleepers.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MlhQnipGM
When they got to their room, he pushed the door open, and Shea trotted inside.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx0dA7CedS
She sniffed around for a moment before jumping up on the bed, finding her spot,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUmMrmDTOw
then curling up into a ball. He followed suit shortly after, crawling under the24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIU17rFgDN
covers and passing out almost immediately.
When he awoke, he knew he was24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWUo0xdhVp
somewhere else. It was the cold air that surrounded him or the sight of weeping24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwsRn9xdma
cobblestone. No, it was the smell of rot and decay. Looking around he saw24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqCJch0HVz
himself standing in a dimly lit chamber that was cylindrical. There were24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR6jhlZy8V
torches above his heads, and they were so close he could reach up and touch24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ124vPPLUVz
them. Curiously, in the dead center of the room was a podium which was holding24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu6HqcuxSe
a book. Walking over to it, he realized it was in a language he didn’t24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2Do3FUK9h
recognize. As he reached out to touch it, a cough woke him up from his trance.
“I wouldn’t touch that if I were24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujNhBhAYNL
you.” an elderly voice spoke. Facing the sound of the voice, Vander spotted24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAX8eV19hn
an old man white long white hair chained to the wall. There was a slight24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcuKxdjXXe
radiant aura coming from within the body, but it was weak, barely alive.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZhFMTghsa
Instinctively he knew who it was even though it was hard to believe.
“Veyar.” Vander bowed his head24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GKhbxPRKD
before dropping down to one knee. “Are you the one who summoned me?” The24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWT5gohoLB
old man nodded his head. “Why? Where are we?”
“I do not know.” Veyar24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6nSvXbuhe
admitted. Vander found that hard to believe. The father of all the deities knew24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HXpwVOnYh
everything, at least he was supposed to. “I was brought here unconscious, I24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg9iUNkssB
had no idea I had even been taken until I woke up chained to these walls, my24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7cg3kALVV
power stripped from my body.”
“Do you need me to free you?”24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9JP5JQt0N
Vander asked. He suddenly felt very foolish as Veyar went through back his head24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyZ2YVfciM
and laughed.
“There is nothing you can do for24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeyMll6I0C
me here but thank you for offering.” The deity looked amused. “I have24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXrREGf0G8
brought you here to deliver a warning. You are in great danger as is everyone24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06wLR62qQS
around you. Keep hold of your secret, tell no one, or all will be lost.” Vander24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4HfcFXkHl
was confused.
“Who is after me?” He asked.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpYvc55h4C
Veyar craned his head as if he were listening for someone.
“There is no time, he will be here24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LZ5uQeMVt
soon.” He sounded afraid. “Beware the false sun, Vander. Beware.” Before he could ask anything else, Vander’s24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ9BD4U1yE
sight went dark.
He bolted up out of bed dripping24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHWUWDrs8B
with sweat. Shea was still snoring next to him oblivious to what had happened24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLdEujm0m8
during the night. He wouldn’t have believed it happened if he didn’t smell the24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BH6G5ZsfY
power lingering in the air. Veyar was supposedly the strongest of the Deities,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeN9UOaW92
his equal was Imitae, so how had he been captured and why couldn’t he escape? All24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtO16d6mOt
these questions, but the one that mattered most was who was after him. He was24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzvx9ukbaK
told to ‘beware the false sun’, it wasn’t much to go on. He would just have to24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrAJycfG3q
file it away under ‘mysteries’ and leave it at that.
He swung his feet out from under24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HGdQC64V1
the covers placing them on the cool floor. Azta hasn’t risen yet, but the sky24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHrcnPxJdl
was turning a bright pink. He had only been asleep for a few hours, but despite24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4wqG2WZB6
how he felt, he had work to do. Today was the day he was supposed to train the24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFlXxMVh9H
recruits. Hopefully Alex had got them ready, and they would be waiting for him24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lQzkRFMRZ
by the time he arrived at the castle grounds.
He left Shea sleeping on the bed.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZpPHoszYq
She didn’t like getting up early if she didn’t have to and Julianna would take24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy83GXRHvZ
care of her while he was gone. He slipped on his uniform, clipped his sword to24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy9jeg8FvO
his belt and left.
Dawn was the time of day when Unna24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV8oYomysT
was her weakest. Hunters, especially animals, were most active at night to24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5iZR7uOWe
hunt, fuck, and whatever it is they did during the night. It was now when24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFox0O2QF9u
Vander was at his calmest, when her powers deep inside of him slumbered. He was24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZO3SxoLAv
capable of rational thought and not letting those powers cloud his judgement.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R5kmisTdk
This was also when he was at his weakest. Without the strength of her powers,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd3gLUFdDo
he was close to defenseless, which was all someone needed to take him out.
He was blindsided from the alley24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQXMnl452y
next to him. Someone grabbed him by the arm and threw him against the building.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU0BNyRFer
Vander brought his arm up to block the next strike, but it snaked past his guard24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp3V05yu9c
hitting him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, but that was short lived.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBFVuKPKWS
Someone wrenched his neck back and his arms were pulled behind him. He tried to24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbU7zEgSjL
stand, but someone kicked out his knees bringing him down.
“The hell do you want?” He hissed24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagFde9Q8B6
out in pain. He could smell three distinctive scents, but he had a feeling24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAz9J34cQd
there were a couple of more where he couldn’t see them.
“Is this him?” Someone said, a24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXKQcbT1Df
woman. There was nothing distinct about her, not that he could tell with his24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRa4GYg0Gt
weakening powers.
“Not sure.” Someone said, a male24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAW1q2G1db
this time. “I expected more of a fight from him. But he has the look we were24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nWuUYDhku
told about.”
“Even if it’s not, kill him.” A24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibUIO0TLOK
third person said. “Better safe than sorry.” He heard a knife being drawn from24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXi16X89A1
a sheath.
“Nothing personal.” The woman24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7ulmPQWsN
said. Vander let out a deep guttural growl and lunged forward. Whoever was24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAUa3l3iQy
holding his arms didn’t do a good job. He was startled by the sudden savagery24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lespnnYpA
Vander showed that he didn’t keep a good grip allowing him to slip through. He24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUoU99HNzZ
attacked the woman in front of him, hitting her jaw, sending her sprawling24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlxmE7Dz9T
backwards. As he suspected, two people jumped out from the shadows drawing24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB55aFjugi
wicked looking scimitars as Vander charged them. However, he was too quick. He24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHRv5aVsIg
slammed the hilt of one back into the sheath then using the momentum to kick24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv2qsip9lP
the other one in the jaw knocked him unconscious. He landed behind the other24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylMpVmfJt1
one and drew a knife from his belt holding it against their throat.
“Who are you?” He shouted. He24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3kQE9gVIW
pressed the dagger against the assassin’s throat drawing blood with the edge.
“You ruined our plan.” Vander felt24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL4pOIfFMs
as though the man he was holding was grinning. “Now you will pay.” The man24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj2Q3NJbc6
grabbed Vander’s arm and pushed the knife deeper into his own neck. He gurgled24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU2jlKNThJ
mouthfuls of blood before falling to his knees, dying. Vander quickly drew his24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhvp4xGjxp
sword as three knives covered with poison flew headed straight for his chest.
He knocked two of the knives away,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeygUBICNAR
spinning out into the darkness. The third he grabbed by the handle and threw it24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRORkx1iBm6
back at the sender. She yelled out with a scream and crumbled to the ground. One24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcBvwR3RlR
of the assassins drew their scimitar and lunged at him. Vander brought his24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F0LHwb5z2
weapon up to counter the strike. He parried and slashed, forcing the assailant24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVSl4nQa0p
on his back foot. The assailant lunged forward attempting to take Vander24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWQN54ZE2b
through the side, but he dodged sideways. The momentum carried the man into24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfp4uqOxZf
range of Vander’s sword which decapitated him spraying blood everywhere.
“Then there were two.” Vander24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP7W5Qq0KQ
smiled. He wiped the blood from his sword eyeing the man in front of him. He24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfRV9yMfLC
was tending to the woman who had the poisoned knife embedded in her arm. He24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoh1syqevp
crushed something in his hand then dripped it into her throat. Her face visibly24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAfZWZqEqb
relaxed as he ripped the knife from her arm.
“You are a lot stronger than we24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGT071zZ0f
were told.” The man said, cradling the woman in his arms as he stood. “This is24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XlPVtG8XV
your victory.” The man Vander had kicked slowly got to his feet. His breath was24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqhzFL3WNQ
labored. He had likely broken a couple of ribs.
“You attack me, and you think I’ll24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0V7gu9Yf2
let you go?” Vander laughed. “You’re sadly mistaken. You will die here, and I24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUzzyRYVNo
will take that girl with me for interrogation.” The man behind him rushed24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXFu27ePZy
forward, grabbed Vander around the neck with his arm. Vander brought his arm24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFRdrnOQ7w
back, nailing him in his already broken ribs, causing him to cough up blood.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHxd2Yseh7
However, he did not let go.
“Run, I’ll hold him back.” He spoke.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrpmOLtWWF
The assassin nodded his head then jumped onto the windowsill of the building24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw5yBZlmKC
next to us then crawled out of sight. Vander knew he could catch him, but he24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5iuSVmLOi
would have to get rid of this guy first.
“Get off me.” Vander snapped. He24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiluQfFNj7w
brought his head back crushing the nose of the assassin then he grabbed his24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYZ12Kfic8
head then threw him overhead. His back slammed onto the ground and before he24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3Jutuwokh
could rise, Vander nailed him in the jaw knocking him out. “Shit.” He had24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcHpwqNGzK
wasted too much time and in this current state he wouldn’t be able to chase the24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAYvBrARlr
two of them. So, he leaned up against the wall and waited for backup to arrive.
Someone must have called the24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VDBIJ2Mhe
guards because they arrived ten minutes later, which allowed Vander to catch24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKOhL1EIb2
his breath and think about what had just happened. Based on the way they were24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9GgVQHRVG
talking; someone had put a hit out on him It seemed to be the same group that24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUg2WF7XSp
had killed Nigel after he had been discovered. There was no proof to that24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCPEoC5ois
claim, but based on the fact they were using the same style of weapons, including24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHxCwf7kLJ
poison, and their style seemed to be ambush, it was likely them. However, were24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHP7faqdpv
they Green Serpents or another group entirely? He would have to wait for24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZXMFPSR7c
sleeping beauty to wake up first, but before that. He opened the unconscious24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSai4WeEcy
assassin’s mouth and rooted around until he found what he was looking for. He24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj6E2Wn5Nc
ripped out a fake tooth with a poison capsule hiding inside.
Assassins were24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlK0cUgUiY
all the same.
“Sir?” Vander looked up to see24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM0bT6YKf1
Jeffery Jilena standing there surrounded by other soldiers. “The hell happened24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpsdLuaZk4
here?” The sun had come up and was about halfway to noon which meant he had24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpasCOuydD
been sitting here for hours. In his daze he wouldn’t have noticed if the24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhMVPa7Ojk
assassin had escaped, but he was lucky he was still out like a light.
“An assassination attempt.” Vander24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUB91wdkqT
accepted the hand the young Captain held out for him, helping him up to his24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa9mB5Se9d
feet. “I got three of them, but two of them escaped. I would have followed24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWe22evT2F
them, but I haven’t had a solid rest in days and I’m weakest at dawn.”
“You did enough.” Jeffery nodded.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX392wRRCY
He walked over to the still breathing assassin then bent down to check him out.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivUatKm0GN
“This one is still alive.”
“Bring him to the dungeons.”24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPAulB6lM4
Vander smirked. “I want to interrogate him myself. And bring this to Doctor24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1vN7pe45N
Lohsyn.” He dropped the capsule into Jeffery’s hand. “Don’t let anyone eat it24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbIjxJBBZn
or drop it. I need to know what it’s made from.”
“I will handle it myself.” Jeffery24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeflDobUUR
clutched it to his chest and bowed his head. “You two.” He turned and snapped24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xmeXopA5q
at two of the soldiers standing nearby. “Take this man to the dungeons. Give24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MJHXlGToe
him food and water, but nothing else. Chain him, make sure he can’t even piss24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJptu9XBv8
without help. Am I clear?”
“Yes sir!” the two guards saluted.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvgUoGplAf
They picked up the unconscious assassin and hauled him away. Jeffery had two24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvSeTbtiYx
other guards follow just incase the man tried to make a break for it. The other24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCmvFKNRCb
bodies would be sent to Lohsyn as well for an autopsy. After dealing with all24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC7PtZwcIQ
those details, he headed towards the castle.
The castle was finishing up the24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTtQaRNrvi
decorations for the prince’s arrival and it looked stunning. The windows were24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB3JYaplwY
draped with blues and reds to represent both countries and people. Bernard really24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcdX0F3c17
took his job seriously. Vander walked past the man and into the castle. A few24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeceEEXxFJs
minutes later he was standing in front of the King’s door and knocked.
“Come in.” The King’s voice24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvygzMnzbj
boomed. Vander turned the knob and headed inside.
Malcolm was at his desk looking24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorCkQdp5CN
over some papers. He was wearing a blue collared shirt that was unbuttoned showing24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEkGfjRinA
off the upper part of his chest. There was a gold chain hanging around his neck24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAI3COS0HT
with a sapphire gemstone hanging from it. His black rimmed glasses slid down24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVKYUzxi7T
his nose, resting just above the fall.
“You look like shit Vander.”24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiElCqxUYtb
Malcolm stood up motioning towards the seat in front of him. “Is that blood on24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2QHrR2eyK
you?”
“It’s been a rough morning.”24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAklpjHnjBb
Vander shed his jacket then hung it up by the door. He didn’t want to get blood24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI9yFReJbw
on the carpet. “Jumped by a couple of assassins on my way to train my recruits.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2pCQkK2uI
Kill two, knocked out one, and two escaped.”
“Do you wish to be seen by Topal?”24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1py4afyvzC
Malcolm asked.
“I really just want to fucking24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l6gwOT5d1
sleep.” His eyes grew heavy.
“Rest here, no one will bother24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfEKdYy6jg
you.” The King smiled. “The couch is very comfortable. Much better than the24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8NFsBFtg8
chair.”
“I’ll rest in a moment.” Vander24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPtpu3SMkd
sighed. “I came here to tell you about my meeting with my source. He gave me24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6hVC1tFTN
the name of the organization who poisoned you. The Green Serpents.” Upon24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7ItCft1ui
hearing the name, Malcolm froze.
“Are you sure that’s what he24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChskVHRW0z
said?”
“Yea,” Vander nodded. “Ross is24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryewgjHnxY
trustworthy, his advice has never let me down before.”
“Shit.” Vander was shocked, he had24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFnTMQlU3V
never heard the King curse before. He got up from his desk and went to stand by24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXmDzNyusM
the window. Despite being in a coma for months, he seemed to be quite healthy.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9OOSq4mh0
He couldn’t help but wonder where all that stamina came from.
“Are you alright?” Vander asked.
“If it’s the Serpents we are in24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT95dfNHp4
trouble.” The King ran his fingers through his hair. “I will have to talk to24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5GQTVhlx8
Peyton and your grandfather before saying anything else.” He turned around to24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknZVBZcrMM
look at Vander. “I just received word that Warden Drayson will be here later24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nEUAFxib4
this afternoon. We will have her forces and some of our back to beef up24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJKiQkH6wx
security. I want you to oversee protection.”
“Are you sure?” Vander asked. “I24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXXl8EPgWf
don’t think I’m experienced enough for something like that.”
“I trust you as does your24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOLLv0Uo2s
grandfather.” Malcolm smiled. “You’ll do fine. Is there anything else I should24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyufd1pZ5T
know?”
“Ross can help me find where the24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn2DROHu6s
Serpents are hiding.” Vander sighed. “But the price is steep, it can’t be paid24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0nNl3fN6I
with money.”
“I trust your judgement.” Malcolm24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQgEuW9VA9
walked over then squeezed Vander’s shoulder. “Now get some rest. I’ll wake you24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkakSrwPIkP
when it’s time.” Nodding his appreciation, Vander headed towards the couch24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzvmd7Ujbc
where he promptly passed out.
