Chapter 11
The party was still in full swing87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2rUfKap0t
once Alex and Vander left the Inn. Shea had been waiting patiently and even87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15xWkwlDhL
Right and Left seemed sad to see her go. Alex didn’t say a word the entire trip87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagcoCTpH55
back into the Eastern District, even when they parted, he just headed towards87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0IObyIAay
the middle ring not even saying goodnight. He didn’t blame Alex, the first time87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfmJfEjTDv
he had gone to the warehouse and seen the pit wasn’t a happy experience either.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmXpTfVW9T
The fact the King allowed something like this was even more of a surprise, but87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboBuKI9sHG
it was above their pay grade to know why. However, there was one thing that87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtMbHZfvMp
Ross had said that played over and over in his mind. There was a traitor within87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyx1ktgW1X
the Blades.
He didn’t know how Ross found that87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIL54nEuaB
out, but he wasn’t one to disregard warnings, not if it had come from him. They87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErzuaka5O9
had done business in the past and in the beginning, he had been skeptical, but87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfoEmH3rN5
Ross’s warnings and advice almost always came true. He would be an idiot not to87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBdQjyZlrO
take the warning seriously, but for the life of him he couldn’t figure out who87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmMzfr5B5p
it could be. Guess if it was going to be easy, he wouldn’t have needed Ross to87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTcELUxce5
tell him. He would have to discuss everything he had been told with his87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wVnswHgwg
grandfather, and the King, tomorrow. For now, he needed rest.
The Inn was quiet by the time the87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLCtYEwmwS
two of them arrived back. Not even Julianna the workaholic was awake, the87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KKZOvIqoc
embers in the fireplace gave off little more than a slight glow. The two of87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKd82xc1Ax
them slowly walked up the stairs being careful not to disturb the sleepers.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYWxcdcBrn
When they got to their room, he pushed the door open, and Shea trotted inside.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnC3ItwOoO
She sniffed around for a moment before jumping up on the bed, finding her spot,87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRj07Kazb6
then curling up into a ball. He followed suit shortly after, crawling under the87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiJBN79PXT
covers and passing out almost immediately.
When he awoke, he knew he was87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW2FpGI1m3
somewhere else. It was the cold air that surrounded him or the sight of weeping87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV78JfT2WZR
cobblestone. No, it was the smell of rot and decay. Looking around he saw87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dG3NtK5yR
himself standing in a dimly lit chamber that was cylindrical. There were87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiqzBtruRE
torches above his heads, and they were so close he could reach up and touch87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAXLi2X3MZ
them. Curiously, in the dead center of the room was a podium which was holding87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdxKr4yk40
a book. Walking over to it, he realized it was in a language he didn’t87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtMG68b4Ml
recognize. As he reached out to touch it, a cough woke him up from his trance.
“I wouldn’t touch that if I were87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxBUTq6pb9
you.” an elderly voice spoke. Facing the sound of the voice, Vander spotted87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0g7m9JLRH
an old man white long white hair chained to the wall. There was a slight87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iOyKDMvyb
radiant aura coming from within the body, but it was weak, barely alive.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6IHgx1PdS
Instinctively he knew who it was even though it was hard to believe.
“Veyar.” Vander bowed his head87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ74jmBTDK
before dropping down to one knee. “Are you the one who summoned me?” The87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8GRmOyT4u
old man nodded his head. “Why? Where are we?”
“I do not know.” Veyar87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv42nYDTqXe
admitted. Vander found that hard to believe. The father of all the deities knew87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpbG0APaa3
everything, at least he was supposed to. “I was brought here unconscious, I87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR2zT7l4wf
had no idea I had even been taken until I woke up chained to these walls, my87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmPDShkMjT
power stripped from my body.”
“Do you need me to free you?”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzbrgjDthV
Vander asked. He suddenly felt very foolish as Veyar went through back his head87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LQcXATt8M
and laughed.
“There is nothing you can do for87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwKgcrFfYt
me here but thank you for offering.” The deity looked amused. “I have87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1biEu37roi
brought you here to deliver a warning. You are in great danger as is everyone87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAlJw1RbHv
around you. Keep hold of your secret, tell no one, or all will be lost.” Vander87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVUt8oXKlv
was confused.
“Who is after me?” He asked.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBarm8Re595
Veyar craned his head as if he were listening for someone.
“There is no time, he will be here87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sfYBBYWOH
soon.” He sounded afraid. “Beware the false sun, Vander. Beware.” Before he could ask anything else, Vander’s87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2jBXSeYId
sight went dark.
He bolted up out of bed dripping87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn40Owcxbqt
with sweat. Shea was still snoring next to him oblivious to what had happened87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB0cqQgaMR
during the night. He wouldn’t have believed it happened if he didn’t smell the87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKm0RiJyzD
power lingering in the air. Veyar was supposedly the strongest of the Deities,87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGGWz2ozAv
his equal was Imitae, so how had he been captured and why couldn’t he escape? All87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1kFpGxbaX
these questions, but the one that mattered most was who was after him. He was87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ4ot1sbo0
told to ‘beware the false sun’, it wasn’t much to go on. He would just have to87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpZ0QKx10h
file it away under ‘mysteries’ and leave it at that.
He swung his feet out from under87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxsBGRb8g9
the covers placing them on the cool floor. Azta hasn’t risen yet, but the sky87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyMW1v5mj7
was turning a bright pink. He had only been asleep for a few hours, but despite87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF66jwi9uRg
how he felt, he had work to do. Today was the day he was supposed to train the87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaissf9Wlh
recruits. Hopefully Alex had got them ready, and they would be waiting for him87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdj7TZ2Z0K
by the time he arrived at the castle grounds.
He left Shea sleeping on the bed.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VPK66z3Bh
She didn’t like getting up early if she didn’t have to and Julianna would take87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD9WMCUvn1
care of her while he was gone. He slipped on his uniform, clipped his sword to87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx9GblzWpg
his belt and left.
Dawn was the time of day when Unna87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MEARQPzmL
was her weakest. Hunters, especially animals, were most active at night to87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCJQuvpECA
hunt, fuck, and whatever it is they did during the night. It was now when87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbzigJ7IBI
Vander was at his calmest, when her powers deep inside of him slumbered. He was87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSScJS9IyEW
capable of rational thought and not letting those powers cloud his judgement.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Sy03if1q
This was also when he was at his weakest. Without the strength of her powers,87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Nu9FaEOC
he was close to defenseless, which was all someone needed to take him out.
He was blindsided from the alley87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfq55uzdtH
next to him. Someone grabbed him by the arm and threw him against the building.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd1huQNTRB
Vander brought his arm up to block the next strike, but it snaked past his guard87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXE23OXSar
hitting him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, but that was short lived.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C1yYGy672
Someone wrenched his neck back and his arms were pulled behind him. He tried to87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZL1dkhISq
stand, but someone kicked out his knees bringing him down.
“The hell do you want?” He hissed87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyWXoPUHBn
out in pain. He could smell three distinctive scents, but he had a feeling87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bGlPisgN2
there were a couple of more where he couldn’t see them.
“Is this him?” Someone said, a87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7B9xYDJE4
woman. There was nothing distinct about her, not that he could tell with his87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5xO69zh4P
weakening powers.
“Not sure.” Someone said, a male87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67VoV7R1Z4
this time. “I expected more of a fight from him. But he has the look we were87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wRLKbzi78
told about.”
“Even if it’s not, kill him.” A87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71fYOslv5Q
third person said. “Better safe than sorry.” He heard a knife being drawn from87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWraPap4uw
a sheath.
“Nothing personal.” The woman87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx2V6J7LIJ
said. Vander let out a deep guttural growl and lunged forward. Whoever was87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hnlwECSnU
holding his arms didn’t do a good job. He was startled by the sudden savagery87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQd3hvTgNn
Vander showed that he didn’t keep a good grip allowing him to slip through. He87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQdE3zNqOy
attacked the woman in front of him, hitting her jaw, sending her sprawling87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABzZac0c48
backwards. As he suspected, two people jumped out from the shadows drawing87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBMEV93gdD
wicked looking scimitars as Vander charged them. However, he was too quick. He87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQK99oyBdX
slammed the hilt of one back into the sheath then using the momentum to kick87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB3vvR1aOM
the other one in the jaw knocked him unconscious. He landed behind the other87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0nj1KCPbK
one and drew a knife from his belt holding it against their throat.
“Who are you?” He shouted. He87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJKkMXOIzm
pressed the dagger against the assassin’s throat drawing blood with the edge.
“You ruined our plan.” Vander felt87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI8csXm6MN
as though the man he was holding was grinning. “Now you will pay.” The man87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoXIoSpS72
grabbed Vander’s arm and pushed the knife deeper into his own neck. He gurgled87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPB9mmO4QC
mouthfuls of blood before falling to his knees, dying. Vander quickly drew his87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX6o7i28K9
sword as three knives covered with poison flew headed straight for his chest.
He knocked two of the knives away,87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBxBvzHaZZ
spinning out into the darkness. The third he grabbed by the handle and threw it87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotBgGX74yT
back at the sender. She yelled out with a scream and crumbled to the ground. One87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkid1C9IRR
of the assassins drew their scimitar and lunged at him. Vander brought his87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGEhW6b7XQ
weapon up to counter the strike. He parried and slashed, forcing the assailant87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3tVD0kr7H
on his back foot. The assailant lunged forward attempting to take Vander87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQHxkpRx2t
through the side, but he dodged sideways. The momentum carried the man into87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7NmKh6LfC
range of Vander’s sword which decapitated him spraying blood everywhere.
“Then there were two.” Vander87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF6qra2eVP
smiled. He wiped the blood from his sword eyeing the man in front of him. He87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYemmO8g9Ss
was tending to the woman who had the poisoned knife embedded in her arm. He87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCoaGKI7Mm
crushed something in his hand then dripped it into her throat. Her face visibly87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreoSPdPKiT
relaxed as he ripped the knife from her arm.
“You are a lot stronger than we87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FInfzzAKe
were told.” The man said, cradling the woman in his arms as he stood. “This is87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dBUY6RhZo
your victory.” The man Vander had kicked slowly got to his feet. His breath was87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbBtKPix6m
labored. He had likely broken a couple of ribs.
“You attack me, and you think I’ll87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzzDPX3Z3D
let you go?” Vander laughed. “You’re sadly mistaken. You will die here, and I87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoF2S7GnFN
will take that girl with me for interrogation.” The man behind him rushed87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMZyfbBMF7
forward, grabbed Vander around the neck with his arm. Vander brought his arm87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnkAxoHKqc
back, nailing him in his already broken ribs, causing him to cough up blood.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3C8XhORb8
However, he did not let go.
“Run, I’ll hold him back.” He spoke.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXwXgdMR71
The assassin nodded his head then jumped onto the windowsill of the building87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm8KYDYGMz
next to us then crawled out of sight. Vander knew he could catch him, but he87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W0vBwKB4K
would have to get rid of this guy first.
“Get off me.” Vander snapped. He87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe6KIoz7m2
brought his head back crushing the nose of the assassin then he grabbed his87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJRO453G83
head then threw him overhead. His back slammed onto the ground and before he87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5mBi0xEC7
could rise, Vander nailed him in the jaw knocking him out. “Shit.” He had87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt7xCzckNy
wasted too much time and in this current state he wouldn’t be able to chase the87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLnpx6FPcU
two of them. So, he leaned up against the wall and waited for backup to arrive.
Someone must have called the87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0bRCXMrzW
guards because they arrived ten minutes later, which allowed Vander to catch87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBzk40Y9b7
his breath and think about what had just happened. Based on the way they were87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5hMghIdcY
talking; someone had put a hit out on him It seemed to be the same group that87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcROZfnz4F
had killed Nigel after he had been discovered. There was no proof to that87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW29OkWCBw
claim, but based on the fact they were using the same style of weapons, including87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkZible1Nq
poison, and their style seemed to be ambush, it was likely them. However, were87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOPQkk40mQ
they Green Serpents or another group entirely? He would have to wait for87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8SRPbjsz5
sleeping beauty to wake up first, but before that. He opened the unconscious87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3MU0jhZTI
assassin’s mouth and rooted around until he found what he was looking for. He87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX3EQ7Ns81
ripped out a fake tooth with a poison capsule hiding inside.
Assassins were87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUkNgJZ67y
all the same.
“Sir?” Vander looked up to see87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMy7FWQDLe
Jeffery Jilena standing there surrounded by other soldiers. “The hell happened87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JtdZgOvSc
here?” The sun had come up and was about halfway to noon which meant he had87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKeZAlumVH
been sitting here for hours. In his daze he wouldn’t have noticed if the87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FzrFo0Emp
assassin had escaped, but he was lucky he was still out like a light.
“An assassination attempt.” Vander87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx00msAhga3
accepted the hand the young Captain held out for him, helping him up to his87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV87QHBS5WS
feet. “I got three of them, but two of them escaped. I would have followed87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNbtST68iu
them, but I haven’t had a solid rest in days and I’m weakest at dawn.”
“You did enough.” Jeffery nodded.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W6F3yBZ75
He walked over to the still breathing assassin then bent down to check him out.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70f1A1ZqYz
“This one is still alive.”
“Bring him to the dungeons.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08reCqHdqG
Vander smirked. “I want to interrogate him myself. And bring this to Doctor87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYPuGq77Yp
Lohsyn.” He dropped the capsule into Jeffery’s hand. “Don’t let anyone eat it87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG8jMIchbO
or drop it. I need to know what it’s made from.”
“I will handle it myself.” Jeffery87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6snRdpV6N
clutched it to his chest and bowed his head. “You two.” He turned and snapped87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9SIpMcOwL
at two of the soldiers standing nearby. “Take this man to the dungeons. Give87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYgbthAC4R
him food and water, but nothing else. Chain him, make sure he can’t even piss87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkL6yVdMpE
without help. Am I clear?”
“Yes sir!” the two guards saluted.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zE3153IqJ
They picked up the unconscious assassin and hauled him away. Jeffery had two87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSreI37oDI6
other guards follow just incase the man tried to make a break for it. The other87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8tnjF1H7h
bodies would be sent to Lohsyn as well for an autopsy. After dealing with all87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk1c5pmT6k
those details, he headed towards the castle.
The castle was finishing up the87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGXVa2WAuX
decorations for the prince’s arrival and it looked stunning. The windows were87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCRmDdlIP3
draped with blues and reds to represent both countries and people. Bernard really87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLgnnKayyN
took his job seriously. Vander walked past the man and into the castle. A few87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7sqO1NzcU
minutes later he was standing in front of the King’s door and knocked.
“Come in.” The King’s voice87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvpcGcC6Fn
boomed. Vander turned the knob and headed inside.
Malcolm was at his desk looking87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2oEZfm0E1
over some papers. He was wearing a blue collared shirt that was unbuttoned showing87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UnO16Kyrn
off the upper part of his chest. There was a gold chain hanging around his neck87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9RRAoQ3r7
with a sapphire gemstone hanging from it. His black rimmed glasses slid down87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnGCFbwnUn
his nose, resting just above the fall.
“You look like shit Vander.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRnI591tyT
Malcolm stood up motioning towards the seat in front of him. “Is that blood on87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4xFxNd8NS
you?”
“It’s been a rough morning.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FcM4aBvos
Vander shed his jacket then hung it up by the door. He didn’t want to get blood87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52rNbZW4XC
on the carpet. “Jumped by a couple of assassins on my way to train my recruits.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM2vDfeyom
Kill two, knocked out one, and two escaped.”
“Do you wish to be seen by Topal?”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqQJqzEviP
Malcolm asked.
“I really just want to fucking87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFrcJAWLnA
sleep.” His eyes grew heavy.
“Rest here, no one will bother87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVGiOekVO8
you.” The King smiled. “The couch is very comfortable. Much better than the87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfXbtP0Fg0
chair.”
“I’ll rest in a moment.” Vander87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgrNoA4hRB
sighed. “I came here to tell you about my meeting with my source. He gave me87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OJeW7pksg
the name of the organization who poisoned you. The Green Serpents.” Upon87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyxWpTTL0m
hearing the name, Malcolm froze.
“Are you sure that’s what he87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGO8ZFhYzF
said?”
“Yea,” Vander nodded. “Ross is87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2Pp4ixxMp
trustworthy, his advice has never let me down before.”
“Shit.” Vander was shocked, he had87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7iEv8RSF0
never heard the King curse before. He got up from his desk and went to stand by87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxVw1m4dZm
the window. Despite being in a coma for months, he seemed to be quite healthy.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0nLIVc0uQ
He couldn’t help but wonder where all that stamina came from.
“Are you alright?” Vander asked.
“If it’s the Serpents we are in87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm7ImHYoX9
trouble.” The King ran his fingers through his hair. “I will have to talk to87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkZ9zwA6lX
Peyton and your grandfather before saying anything else.” He turned around to87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut3bb7Qm6W
look at Vander. “I just received word that Warden Drayson will be here later87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe75Om83SIW
this afternoon. We will have her forces and some of our back to beef up87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplxNd967vg
security. I want you to oversee protection.”
“Are you sure?” Vander asked. “I87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SubO4nC44
don’t think I’m experienced enough for something like that.”
“I trust you as does your87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrk3xWnJ0O
grandfather.” Malcolm smiled. “You’ll do fine. Is there anything else I should87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G6I8quQCx
know?”
“Ross can help me find where the87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IhPFltoIf
Serpents are hiding.” Vander sighed. “But the price is steep, it can’t be paid87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44zO72BB97
with money.”
“I trust your judgement.” Malcolm87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdGOcHdHYZ
walked over then squeezed Vander’s shoulder. “Now get some rest. I’ll wake you87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPYCXw6TK5
when it’s time.” Nodding his appreciation, Vander headed towards the couch87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TVbPg0Gt4
where he promptly passed out.
