Chapter 11
The party was still in full swing53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRdyN8OJd3
once Alex and Vander left the Inn. Shea had been waiting patiently and even53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6jx3K5Shb
Right and Left seemed sad to see her go. Alex didn’t say a word the entire trip53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ0Y94Msfb
back into the Eastern District, even when they parted, he just headed towards53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdPEvZyllq
the middle ring not even saying goodnight. He didn’t blame Alex, the first time53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerWMFYLT8t
he had gone to the warehouse and seen the pit wasn’t a happy experience either.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfuwGw5Ve8
The fact the King allowed something like this was even more of a surprise, but53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJOVIIdQgr
it was above their pay grade to know why. However, there was one thing that53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHPRb7o6Ii
Ross had said that played over and over in his mind. There was a traitor within53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQaglAmmQ2
the Blades.
He didn’t know how Ross found that53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus8ZGdevya
out, but he wasn’t one to disregard warnings, not if it had come from him. They53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE22I3oKkJ3
had done business in the past and in the beginning, he had been skeptical, but53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx4bvoQwkn
Ross’s warnings and advice almost always came true. He would be an idiot not to53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IZWKhNl6w
take the warning seriously, but for the life of him he couldn’t figure out who53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DrG5haE6b
it could be. Guess if it was going to be easy, he wouldn’t have needed Ross to53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvQMkTidpN
tell him. He would have to discuss everything he had been told with his53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJTnRaFjDj
grandfather, and the King, tomorrow. For now, he needed rest.
The Inn was quiet by the time the53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8a0dHQwSo
two of them arrived back. Not even Julianna the workaholic was awake, the53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVQr9AoEM7
embers in the fireplace gave off little more than a slight glow. The two of53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7p8Gw7Fus
them slowly walked up the stairs being careful not to disturb the sleepers.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGUFgwUJs3
When they got to their room, he pushed the door open, and Shea trotted inside.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJJWbp32bj
She sniffed around for a moment before jumping up on the bed, finding her spot,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5MgnGtwV1
then curling up into a ball. He followed suit shortly after, crawling under the53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonnNuIacWs
covers and passing out almost immediately.
When he awoke, he knew he was53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7D1ifGDEs
somewhere else. It was the cold air that surrounded him or the sight of weeping53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHYYSV2mgH
cobblestone. No, it was the smell of rot and decay. Looking around he saw53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAm7GLjWP8
himself standing in a dimly lit chamber that was cylindrical. There were53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzIwpWVMb0
torches above his heads, and they were so close he could reach up and touch53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0W3W8kUxX
them. Curiously, in the dead center of the room was a podium which was holding53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0GtO8M8D3
a book. Walking over to it, he realized it was in a language he didn’t53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFwWvuhYxl
recognize. As he reached out to touch it, a cough woke him up from his trance.
“I wouldn’t touch that if I were53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5hRrIHrUN
you.” an elderly voice spoke. Facing the sound of the voice, Vander spotted53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLFXoTBvY7
an old man white long white hair chained to the wall. There was a slight53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXs80mGtCK
radiant aura coming from within the body, but it was weak, barely alive.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWpydXH2Xi
Instinctively he knew who it was even though it was hard to believe.
“Veyar.” Vander bowed his head53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWhXT4QOqq
before dropping down to one knee. “Are you the one who summoned me?” The53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FcOQnDOeV
old man nodded his head. “Why? Where are we?”
“I do not know.” Veyar53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQBXAhUHU2
admitted. Vander found that hard to believe. The father of all the deities knew53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIG0hlh1GR
everything, at least he was supposed to. “I was brought here unconscious, I53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg56xBOEii
had no idea I had even been taken until I woke up chained to these walls, my53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GtZjenju9
power stripped from my body.”
“Do you need me to free you?”53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G1SOQcaZv
Vander asked. He suddenly felt very foolish as Veyar went through back his head53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXebNaF0GOT
and laughed.
“There is nothing you can do for53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJbMHdQORR
me here but thank you for offering.” The deity looked amused. “I have53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghjeTrGj1O
brought you here to deliver a warning. You are in great danger as is everyone53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ28td3NTJk
around you. Keep hold of your secret, tell no one, or all will be lost.” Vander53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkJV9fH5Kx
was confused.
“Who is after me?” He asked.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UkBwPH2dx
Veyar craned his head as if he were listening for someone.
“There is no time, he will be here53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOwU4DpGUi
soon.” He sounded afraid. “Beware the false sun, Vander. Beware.” Before he could ask anything else, Vander’s53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7kml3gTG0
sight went dark.
He bolted up out of bed dripping53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVU8bDuXbl
with sweat. Shea was still snoring next to him oblivious to what had happened53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssyT2GqJIf
during the night. He wouldn’t have believed it happened if he didn’t smell the53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA8PRMNY6l
power lingering in the air. Veyar was supposedly the strongest of the Deities,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTXrbatXpj
his equal was Imitae, so how had he been captured and why couldn’t he escape? All53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4zVk114rO
these questions, but the one that mattered most was who was after him. He was53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFywZ2oNuW
told to ‘beware the false sun’, it wasn’t much to go on. He would just have to53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLdz84mwAf
file it away under ‘mysteries’ and leave it at that.
He swung his feet out from under53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyKbtqBmrX
the covers placing them on the cool floor. Azta hasn’t risen yet, but the sky53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPqmE1OFqc
was turning a bright pink. He had only been asleep for a few hours, but despite53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rqr051u9w
how he felt, he had work to do. Today was the day he was supposed to train the53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zdJvLMO8n
recruits. Hopefully Alex had got them ready, and they would be waiting for him53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLqmJfdCQR
by the time he arrived at the castle grounds.
He left Shea sleeping on the bed.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEx218WXvN
She didn’t like getting up early if she didn’t have to and Julianna would take53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCABDHcJVWU
care of her while he was gone. He slipped on his uniform, clipped his sword to53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o2G86iRk0
his belt and left.
Dawn was the time of day when Unna53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHbQ8yu9yT
was her weakest. Hunters, especially animals, were most active at night to53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEsrv1XpA9
hunt, fuck, and whatever it is they did during the night. It was now when53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72y00PvkcK
Vander was at his calmest, when her powers deep inside of him slumbered. He was53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeere5TiCw
capable of rational thought and not letting those powers cloud his judgement.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRchRO9bMa
This was also when he was at his weakest. Without the strength of her powers,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnfPcyPwgV
he was close to defenseless, which was all someone needed to take him out.
He was blindsided from the alley53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm85ueoTiQl
next to him. Someone grabbed him by the arm and threw him against the building.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGjvfg47yU
Vander brought his arm up to block the next strike, but it snaked past his guard53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WzDSV2HbR
hitting him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, but that was short lived.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCjyn6tZUR
Someone wrenched his neck back and his arms were pulled behind him. He tried to53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb01MpEbnXa
stand, but someone kicked out his knees bringing him down.
“The hell do you want?” He hissed53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1MJM1zbRI
out in pain. He could smell three distinctive scents, but he had a feeling53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK8wHkfaLn
there were a couple of more where he couldn’t see them.
“Is this him?” Someone said, a53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtOn4nvO9H
woman. There was nothing distinct about her, not that he could tell with his53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgmnXpnJpo
weakening powers.
“Not sure.” Someone said, a male53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pQ5A3XLP3
this time. “I expected more of a fight from him. But he has the look we were53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgiJ3EX2qb
told about.”
“Even if it’s not, kill him.” A53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs4SKk4IbV
third person said. “Better safe than sorry.” He heard a knife being drawn from53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAnWvutGBu
a sheath.
“Nothing personal.” The woman53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUln9QFhU4c
said. Vander let out a deep guttural growl and lunged forward. Whoever was53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwYntD6ymb
holding his arms didn’t do a good job. He was startled by the sudden savagery53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJGPLtJgjH
Vander showed that he didn’t keep a good grip allowing him to slip through. He53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswonqUdimq
attacked the woman in front of him, hitting her jaw, sending her sprawling53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJWv5YO9uS
backwards. As he suspected, two people jumped out from the shadows drawing53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBAktvHVQ9
wicked looking scimitars as Vander charged them. However, he was too quick. He53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQQIet3z5g
slammed the hilt of one back into the sheath then using the momentum to kick53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b05SBTtO1
the other one in the jaw knocked him unconscious. He landed behind the other53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0EkvE7ZEf
one and drew a knife from his belt holding it against their throat.
“Who are you?” He shouted. He53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0xeNlhPLz
pressed the dagger against the assassin’s throat drawing blood with the edge.
“You ruined our plan.” Vander felt53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOxvZZA56Y
as though the man he was holding was grinning. “Now you will pay.” The man53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvPGh7jaKi
grabbed Vander’s arm and pushed the knife deeper into his own neck. He gurgled53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjGJ6TIVYW
mouthfuls of blood before falling to his knees, dying. Vander quickly drew his53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbndYrvxSi
sword as three knives covered with poison flew headed straight for his chest.
He knocked two of the knives away,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzoUBOcozK
spinning out into the darkness. The third he grabbed by the handle and threw it53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hbZmGNFy2
back at the sender. She yelled out with a scream and crumbled to the ground. One53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMbv8tCk0u
of the assassins drew their scimitar and lunged at him. Vander brought his53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvujodJ3Ue
weapon up to counter the strike. He parried and slashed, forcing the assailant53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1kMZHSc2p
on his back foot. The assailant lunged forward attempting to take Vander53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgWE0dqWZs
through the side, but he dodged sideways. The momentum carried the man into53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdOaTesm9y
range of Vander’s sword which decapitated him spraying blood everywhere.
“Then there were two.” Vander53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxCIJMYuje
smiled. He wiped the blood from his sword eyeing the man in front of him. He53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtKjRlYNi9
was tending to the woman who had the poisoned knife embedded in her arm. He53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOprvgzwJx
crushed something in his hand then dripped it into her throat. Her face visibly53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W7i38DUFB
relaxed as he ripped the knife from her arm.
“You are a lot stronger than we53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0SjFBTAmM
were told.” The man said, cradling the woman in his arms as he stood. “This is53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMLHLBoxNV
your victory.” The man Vander had kicked slowly got to his feet. His breath was53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkN3UOCt9i
labored. He had likely broken a couple of ribs.
“You attack me, and you think I’ll53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj2PWtzRL3
let you go?” Vander laughed. “You’re sadly mistaken. You will die here, and I53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3hdrYax7J
will take that girl with me for interrogation.” The man behind him rushed53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXudpxcGGI0
forward, grabbed Vander around the neck with his arm. Vander brought his arm53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa0MieFdv3
back, nailing him in his already broken ribs, causing him to cough up blood.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnvRuwpSKq
However, he did not let go.
“Run, I’ll hold him back.” He spoke.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErKGGN0U6V
The assassin nodded his head then jumped onto the windowsill of the building53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzcNXuaIlR
next to us then crawled out of sight. Vander knew he could catch him, but he53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGVwUN8K16
would have to get rid of this guy first.
“Get off me.” Vander snapped. He53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9vsDca3Y2
brought his head back crushing the nose of the assassin then he grabbed his53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NWPrSN078
head then threw him overhead. His back slammed onto the ground and before he53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWlSsOv4Vv
could rise, Vander nailed him in the jaw knocking him out. “Shit.” He had53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUlM8p8UBB
wasted too much time and in this current state he wouldn’t be able to chase the53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdYfJiyLbY
two of them. So, he leaned up against the wall and waited for backup to arrive.
Someone must have called the53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0VX3YBPNv
guards because they arrived ten minutes later, which allowed Vander to catch53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfNsIewC7K
his breath and think about what had just happened. Based on the way they were53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgBcbHDfnN
talking; someone had put a hit out on him It seemed to be the same group that53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqZxgBaL3m
had killed Nigel after he had been discovered. There was no proof to that53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf7gd3Yovv
claim, but based on the fact they were using the same style of weapons, including53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2p0mTkIQb
poison, and their style seemed to be ambush, it was likely them. However, were53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHjEGDx3hM
they Green Serpents or another group entirely? He would have to wait for53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAeuWw0k2B
sleeping beauty to wake up first, but before that. He opened the unconscious53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ98A65O5ky
assassin’s mouth and rooted around until he found what he was looking for. He53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7It5UlIDGv
ripped out a fake tooth with a poison capsule hiding inside.
Assassins were53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLZzxvK1RK
all the same.
“Sir?” Vander looked up to see53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNe8vtwGYJ
Jeffery Jilena standing there surrounded by other soldiers. “The hell happened53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVqNl8nrQY
here?” The sun had come up and was about halfway to noon which meant he had53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYTqyugJFV
been sitting here for hours. In his daze he wouldn’t have noticed if the53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KCqSuGfwS
assassin had escaped, but he was lucky he was still out like a light.
“An assassination attempt.” Vander53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHPntWSAqI
accepted the hand the young Captain held out for him, helping him up to his53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Jlb1NgzS
feet. “I got three of them, but two of them escaped. I would have followed53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10odjkfgpF
them, but I haven’t had a solid rest in days and I’m weakest at dawn.”
“You did enough.” Jeffery nodded.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCGazIzWMx
He walked over to the still breathing assassin then bent down to check him out.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyulfVRSxF
“This one is still alive.”
“Bring him to the dungeons.”53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSaJEC5d3d
Vander smirked. “I want to interrogate him myself. And bring this to Doctor53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExjr0aTe3e
Lohsyn.” He dropped the capsule into Jeffery’s hand. “Don’t let anyone eat it53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjef9vN9nn
or drop it. I need to know what it’s made from.”
“I will handle it myself.” Jeffery53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm9hleM4iH
clutched it to his chest and bowed his head. “You two.” He turned and snapped53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq3HWSZfAS
at two of the soldiers standing nearby. “Take this man to the dungeons. Give53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntBcLI8xzl
him food and water, but nothing else. Chain him, make sure he can’t even piss53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3PLqFzpfD
without help. Am I clear?”
“Yes sir!” the two guards saluted.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJrNLNcFBb
They picked up the unconscious assassin and hauled him away. Jeffery had two53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xLNTSpw4X
other guards follow just incase the man tried to make a break for it. The other53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5dlzjJMlw
bodies would be sent to Lohsyn as well for an autopsy. After dealing with all53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NnwBX37yT
those details, he headed towards the castle.
The castle was finishing up the53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Wc3TaIn9
decorations for the prince’s arrival and it looked stunning. The windows were53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQCeBlgoTf
draped with blues and reds to represent both countries and people. Bernard really53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGo3gMcboE
took his job seriously. Vander walked past the man and into the castle. A few53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt7EvuXE6W
minutes later he was standing in front of the King’s door and knocked.
“Come in.” The King’s voice53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo6JnCWkED
boomed. Vander turned the knob and headed inside.
Malcolm was at his desk looking53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSYSZKCn7a
over some papers. He was wearing a blue collared shirt that was unbuttoned showing53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wqmFhWrmr
off the upper part of his chest. There was a gold chain hanging around his neck53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyHyvCWBSx
with a sapphire gemstone hanging from it. His black rimmed glasses slid down53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFpyn1pYUj
his nose, resting just above the fall.
“You look like shit Vander.”53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvk88w2mrc
Malcolm stood up motioning towards the seat in front of him. “Is that blood on53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL5alu9Lk8
you?”
“It’s been a rough morning.”53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboRRhzl1fa
Vander shed his jacket then hung it up by the door. He didn’t want to get blood53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBZ3XhMcaR
on the carpet. “Jumped by a couple of assassins on my way to train my recruits.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY2RqtNAFE
Kill two, knocked out one, and two escaped.”
“Do you wish to be seen by Topal?”53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P1xrWTQrs
Malcolm asked.
“I really just want to fucking53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyteQQv9DBR
sleep.” His eyes grew heavy.
“Rest here, no one will bother53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnnS2GMaj1
you.” The King smiled. “The couch is very comfortable. Much better than the53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVpUNraLj6
chair.”
“I’ll rest in a moment.” Vander53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje8zCu4MGE
sighed. “I came here to tell you about my meeting with my source. He gave me53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mVXGYyXoY
the name of the organization who poisoned you. The Green Serpents.” Upon53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ309gKTVOHI
hearing the name, Malcolm froze.
“Are you sure that’s what he53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMR201IM3F
said?”
“Yea,” Vander nodded. “Ross is53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrhhL8sbbt
trustworthy, his advice has never let me down before.”
“Shit.” Vander was shocked, he had53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gcfyq73ba
never heard the King curse before. He got up from his desk and went to stand by53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5PaIWb3Et
the window. Despite being in a coma for months, he seemed to be quite healthy.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXTnhp6FFm
He couldn’t help but wonder where all that stamina came from.
“Are you alright?” Vander asked.
“If it’s the Serpents we are in53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAyzJxT8kQ
trouble.” The King ran his fingers through his hair. “I will have to talk to53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOl8m2CJME
Peyton and your grandfather before saying anything else.” He turned around to53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY55R8LNst
look at Vander. “I just received word that Warden Drayson will be here later53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QKizZUT3U
this afternoon. We will have her forces and some of our back to beef up53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDIhvdhl9L
security. I want you to oversee protection.”
“Are you sure?” Vander asked. “I53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY9TLn2fGm
don’t think I’m experienced enough for something like that.”
“I trust you as does your53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaa9zTLAnj
grandfather.” Malcolm smiled. “You’ll do fine. Is there anything else I should53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1jbmH6Luq
know?”
“Ross can help me find where the53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEqGxLkPws
Serpents are hiding.” Vander sighed. “But the price is steep, it can’t be paid53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7DOF76EGh
with money.”
“I trust your judgement.” Malcolm53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIezLZ1pVw
walked over then squeezed Vander’s shoulder. “Now get some rest. I’ll wake you53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzX7UxrBwf
when it’s time.” Nodding his appreciation, Vander headed towards the couch53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNWmwxKNBe
where he promptly passed out.
