Chapter 11
The party was still in full swing39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZkQsrJgyY
once Alex and Vander left the Inn. Shea had been waiting patiently and even39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcivTPwQsI
Right and Left seemed sad to see her go. Alex didn’t say a word the entire trip39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALw1DFtR1w
back into the Eastern District, even when they parted, he just headed towards39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpfyTLdXvA
the middle ring not even saying goodnight. He didn’t blame Alex, the first time39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdMzZHfxnY
he had gone to the warehouse and seen the pit wasn’t a happy experience either.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vh6XKYA3N
The fact the King allowed something like this was even more of a surprise, but39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdComqV9Zkv
it was above their pay grade to know why. However, there was one thing that39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jgLacEVcl
Ross had said that played over and over in his mind. There was a traitor within39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNuJk2HMOr
the Blades.
He didn’t know how Ross found that39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJFqt2dcoI
out, but he wasn’t one to disregard warnings, not if it had come from him. They39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPix5pbU2z
had done business in the past and in the beginning, he had been skeptical, but39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhuAKdpMcj
Ross’s warnings and advice almost always came true. He would be an idiot not to39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxuacYkzJs
take the warning seriously, but for the life of him he couldn’t figure out who39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dXQxxwkJC
it could be. Guess if it was going to be easy, he wouldn’t have needed Ross to39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxhGv6lTiR
tell him. He would have to discuss everything he had been told with his39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqow2BrAaC
grandfather, and the King, tomorrow. For now, he needed rest.
The Inn was quiet by the time the39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGR5GhWy9F
two of them arrived back. Not even Julianna the workaholic was awake, the39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPwNw2GuKn
embers in the fireplace gave off little more than a slight glow. The two of39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbHKFPbaKF
them slowly walked up the stairs being careful not to disturb the sleepers.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXdlAvQLAB
When they got to their room, he pushed the door open, and Shea trotted inside.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zi3bdF43Z
She sniffed around for a moment before jumping up on the bed, finding her spot,39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFOeBb3fgR
then curling up into a ball. He followed suit shortly after, crawling under the39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg48ZZP12I7
covers and passing out almost immediately.
When he awoke, he knew he was39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2k08Xfkn3
somewhere else. It was the cold air that surrounded him or the sight of weeping39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mURwjzFuE
cobblestone. No, it was the smell of rot and decay. Looking around he saw39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pfbyqQdfF
himself standing in a dimly lit chamber that was cylindrical. There were39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMcF38biaP
torches above his heads, and they were so close he could reach up and touch39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwuJIrYeQe
them. Curiously, in the dead center of the room was a podium which was holding39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgvCQ7KqvU
a book. Walking over to it, he realized it was in a language he didn’t39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLW0k83cOS
recognize. As he reached out to touch it, a cough woke him up from his trance.
“I wouldn’t touch that if I were39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5SPx0r71q
you.” an elderly voice spoke. Facing the sound of the voice, Vander spotted39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR3FNQI2JJ
an old man white long white hair chained to the wall. There was a slight39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVHeUpluKl
radiant aura coming from within the body, but it was weak, barely alive.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpqEkTmKy1
Instinctively he knew who it was even though it was hard to believe.
“Veyar.” Vander bowed his head39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT8ZMdz4YK
before dropping down to one knee. “Are you the one who summoned me?” The39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCi9ZUnRXO
old man nodded his head. “Why? Where are we?”
“I do not know.” Veyar39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvyA4apAgA
admitted. Vander found that hard to believe. The father of all the deities knew39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC68QGhIfzc
everything, at least he was supposed to. “I was brought here unconscious, I39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8kpLPJSIY
had no idea I had even been taken until I woke up chained to these walls, my39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrLz0WBnCk
power stripped from my body.”
“Do you need me to free you?”39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEPNMnBBzc
Vander asked. He suddenly felt very foolish as Veyar went through back his head39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWRrlyxbSn
and laughed.
“There is nothing you can do for39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCZooKnNEn
me here but thank you for offering.” The deity looked amused. “I have39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9ncIFGAae
brought you here to deliver a warning. You are in great danger as is everyone39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqpCLSjzCu
around you. Keep hold of your secret, tell no one, or all will be lost.” Vander39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7gUcQAlb1
was confused.
“Who is after me?” He asked.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEsB5Ng6OH
Veyar craned his head as if he were listening for someone.
“There is no time, he will be here39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTBgpGb9TK
soon.” He sounded afraid. “Beware the false sun, Vander. Beware.” Before he could ask anything else, Vander’s39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHGOorwXb3
sight went dark.
He bolted up out of bed dripping39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiDgVScNED
with sweat. Shea was still snoring next to him oblivious to what had happened39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD03VOPsUXS
during the night. He wouldn’t have believed it happened if he didn’t smell the39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbqWIGnwYw
power lingering in the air. Veyar was supposedly the strongest of the Deities,39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PvSNwYEhA
his equal was Imitae, so how had he been captured and why couldn’t he escape? All39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMOHKBwvWF
these questions, but the one that mattered most was who was after him. He was39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tchbXmIbo
told to ‘beware the false sun’, it wasn’t much to go on. He would just have to39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45547He4m4
file it away under ‘mysteries’ and leave it at that.
He swung his feet out from under39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrAjfsU5Fg
the covers placing them on the cool floor. Azta hasn’t risen yet, but the sky39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0apGuQqm8R
was turning a bright pink. He had only been asleep for a few hours, but despite39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxjI0nBJER
how he felt, he had work to do. Today was the day he was supposed to train the39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKV99kkDba
recruits. Hopefully Alex had got them ready, and they would be waiting for him39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabXpi3jCrB
by the time he arrived at the castle grounds.
He left Shea sleeping on the bed.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz40Zr9Td9g
She didn’t like getting up early if she didn’t have to and Julianna would take39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlL9yNHFgS
care of her while he was gone. He slipped on his uniform, clipped his sword to39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse20DE1mBp
his belt and left.
Dawn was the time of day when Unna39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi6ygGh9FU
was her weakest. Hunters, especially animals, were most active at night to39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05kllwC0zn
hunt, fuck, and whatever it is they did during the night. It was now when39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCwxZgLrRW
Vander was at his calmest, when her powers deep inside of him slumbered. He was39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yOVqyKjq6
capable of rational thought and not letting those powers cloud his judgement.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZFwg9x5Fh
This was also when he was at his weakest. Without the strength of her powers,39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqDTN67Prb
he was close to defenseless, which was all someone needed to take him out.
He was blindsided from the alley39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIiW0c2frk
next to him. Someone grabbed him by the arm and threw him against the building.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfg7nOp8hW
Vander brought his arm up to block the next strike, but it snaked past his guard39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nAuZjX2n4
hitting him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, but that was short lived.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIffzpVvtG
Someone wrenched his neck back and his arms were pulled behind him. He tried to39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInARvJB9DD
stand, but someone kicked out his knees bringing him down.
“The hell do you want?” He hissed39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAVPW0bOcZ
out in pain. He could smell three distinctive scents, but he had a feeling39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ik3lpU2Vx
there were a couple of more where he couldn’t see them.
“Is this him?” Someone said, a39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsL36q8zUf
woman. There was nothing distinct about her, not that he could tell with his39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFaeXGiEnO
weakening powers.
“Not sure.” Someone said, a male39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUm42uNeW7
this time. “I expected more of a fight from him. But he has the look we were39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wnZRSJpzj
told about.”
“Even if it’s not, kill him.” A39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU5q9el5XU
third person said. “Better safe than sorry.” He heard a knife being drawn from39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x8HABvn6F
a sheath.
“Nothing personal.” The woman39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyzKDFQAjk
said. Vander let out a deep guttural growl and lunged forward. Whoever was39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5idhsY0UG
holding his arms didn’t do a good job. He was startled by the sudden savagery39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3snIspwz7
Vander showed that he didn’t keep a good grip allowing him to slip through. He39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd5jMMhHNv
attacked the woman in front of him, hitting her jaw, sending her sprawling39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgkC85mpwe
backwards. As he suspected, two people jumped out from the shadows drawing39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3x156yqra
wicked looking scimitars as Vander charged them. However, he was too quick. He39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD4894xLye
slammed the hilt of one back into the sheath then using the momentum to kick39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCfYf3e8lf
the other one in the jaw knocked him unconscious. He landed behind the other39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJCjLEgkTz
one and drew a knife from his belt holding it against their throat.
“Who are you?” He shouted. He39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmc3cgQVUi
pressed the dagger against the assassin’s throat drawing blood with the edge.
“You ruined our plan.” Vander felt39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObdKBglnzq
as though the man he was holding was grinning. “Now you will pay.” The man39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzkw6tEPjS
grabbed Vander’s arm and pushed the knife deeper into his own neck. He gurgled39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7felUv6I8
mouthfuls of blood before falling to his knees, dying. Vander quickly drew his39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjkEhE3feU
sword as three knives covered with poison flew headed straight for his chest.
He knocked two of the knives away,39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusqvC9pw4x
spinning out into the darkness. The third he grabbed by the handle and threw it39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSswkma6HzQ
back at the sender. She yelled out with a scream and crumbled to the ground. One39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphWrtzDBWi
of the assassins drew their scimitar and lunged at him. Vander brought his39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHVIcdNtYg
weapon up to counter the strike. He parried and slashed, forcing the assailant39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtwraB4XZR
on his back foot. The assailant lunged forward attempting to take Vander39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf5nG5sumS
through the side, but he dodged sideways. The momentum carried the man into39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUQnzB2ugg
range of Vander’s sword which decapitated him spraying blood everywhere.
“Then there were two.” Vander39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ8H9iS5wn
smiled. He wiped the blood from his sword eyeing the man in front of him. He39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ0YmcvMgy
was tending to the woman who had the poisoned knife embedded in her arm. He39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUm2keJOCh
crushed something in his hand then dripped it into her throat. Her face visibly39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCfA6BRSRl
relaxed as he ripped the knife from her arm.
“You are a lot stronger than we39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6p7Rm6WQy
were told.” The man said, cradling the woman in his arms as he stood. “This is39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7pZhIHOx6
your victory.” The man Vander had kicked slowly got to his feet. His breath was39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBoQgbtcbY
labored. He had likely broken a couple of ribs.
“You attack me, and you think I’ll39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURJFODSHT6
let you go?” Vander laughed. “You’re sadly mistaken. You will die here, and I39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM5WVfzeHg
will take that girl with me for interrogation.” The man behind him rushed39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBaQ4mdjDD
forward, grabbed Vander around the neck with his arm. Vander brought his arm39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGgiCeyayE
back, nailing him in his already broken ribs, causing him to cough up blood.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XsRCdlEXc
However, he did not let go.
“Run, I’ll hold him back.” He spoke.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaqFki5p2e
The assassin nodded his head then jumped onto the windowsill of the building39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5FJEq9fPp
next to us then crawled out of sight. Vander knew he could catch him, but he39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMvsGENm1I
would have to get rid of this guy first.
“Get off me.” Vander snapped. He39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NGDDLilLO
brought his head back crushing the nose of the assassin then he grabbed his39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9ty4TfgGz
head then threw him overhead. His back slammed onto the ground and before he39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7uCb0J3Jy
could rise, Vander nailed him in the jaw knocking him out. “Shit.” He had39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWJTuYNvXr
wasted too much time and in this current state he wouldn’t be able to chase the39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUAte2Gznu
two of them. So, he leaned up against the wall and waited for backup to arrive.
Someone must have called the39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPggjOOSq9C
guards because they arrived ten minutes later, which allowed Vander to catch39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU11ysaqXvV
his breath and think about what had just happened. Based on the way they were39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoMl1cQHrX
talking; someone had put a hit out on him It seemed to be the same group that39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBJKsivNtP
had killed Nigel after he had been discovered. There was no proof to that39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ088aiF88qv
claim, but based on the fact they were using the same style of weapons, including39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGS55rK3VF
poison, and their style seemed to be ambush, it was likely them. However, were39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5vz2id8VQ
they Green Serpents or another group entirely? He would have to wait for39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPGEquJkUx
sleeping beauty to wake up first, but before that. He opened the unconscious39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgZdWINpwl
assassin’s mouth and rooted around until he found what he was looking for. He39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvfKCoOaUy
ripped out a fake tooth with a poison capsule hiding inside.
Assassins were39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ym3jLuMPN
all the same.
“Sir?” Vander looked up to see39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1prv1bmxE
Jeffery Jilena standing there surrounded by other soldiers. “The hell happened39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoSuwDGMfD
here?” The sun had come up and was about halfway to noon which meant he had39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2n60jj1sq
been sitting here for hours. In his daze he wouldn’t have noticed if the39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe5IYbfcVg
assassin had escaped, but he was lucky he was still out like a light.
“An assassination attempt.” Vander39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZn4HawEDE
accepted the hand the young Captain held out for him, helping him up to his39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvnnbrwXT5
feet. “I got three of them, but two of them escaped. I would have followed39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTaJMKoV6u
them, but I haven’t had a solid rest in days and I’m weakest at dawn.”
“You did enough.” Jeffery nodded.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5lPAyAcGp
He walked over to the still breathing assassin then bent down to check him out.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YUaBlsCfB
“This one is still alive.”
“Bring him to the dungeons.”39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89UHazHwgE
Vander smirked. “I want to interrogate him myself. And bring this to Doctor39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5KInC19SS
Lohsyn.” He dropped the capsule into Jeffery’s hand. “Don’t let anyone eat it39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR75ycXYT9
or drop it. I need to know what it’s made from.”
“I will handle it myself.” Jeffery39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCBJLQ8T0y
clutched it to his chest and bowed his head. “You two.” He turned and snapped39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXrezxGFeB
at two of the soldiers standing nearby. “Take this man to the dungeons. Give39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaODRXY7o4
him food and water, but nothing else. Chain him, make sure he can’t even piss39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSgYb0wDr7
without help. Am I clear?”
“Yes sir!” the two guards saluted.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphyJQB6YPb
They picked up the unconscious assassin and hauled him away. Jeffery had two39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZiied81rF
other guards follow just incase the man tried to make a break for it. The other39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXflDnWcXeI
bodies would be sent to Lohsyn as well for an autopsy. After dealing with all39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SB3cOchsl
those details, he headed towards the castle.
The castle was finishing up the39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbKGajDuCN
decorations for the prince’s arrival and it looked stunning. The windows were39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrbNe9Pbxf
draped with blues and reds to represent both countries and people. Bernard really39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvKo0s5fvW
took his job seriously. Vander walked past the man and into the castle. A few39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRJy1VZae9
minutes later he was standing in front of the King’s door and knocked.
“Come in.” The King’s voice39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4N5Yy34Yk
boomed. Vander turned the knob and headed inside.
Malcolm was at his desk looking39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF42Otg2Hw
over some papers. He was wearing a blue collared shirt that was unbuttoned showing39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZGyN0WyEY
off the upper part of his chest. There was a gold chain hanging around his neck39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVl08sCUWt
with a sapphire gemstone hanging from it. His black rimmed glasses slid down39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHgBxpP1hI
his nose, resting just above the fall.
“You look like shit Vander.”39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbrvS1Fe3R
Malcolm stood up motioning towards the seat in front of him. “Is that blood on39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzgr43Z6jV
you?”
“It’s been a rough morning.”39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA9jMygbYO
Vander shed his jacket then hung it up by the door. He didn’t want to get blood39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkAIOrACKz
on the carpet. “Jumped by a couple of assassins on my way to train my recruits.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgLMmt5MyT
Kill two, knocked out one, and two escaped.”
“Do you wish to be seen by Topal?”39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yrOyhaNHK
Malcolm asked.
“I really just want to fucking39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybWSYT295k
sleep.” His eyes grew heavy.
“Rest here, no one will bother39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs3QxUGqce
you.” The King smiled. “The couch is very comfortable. Much better than the39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF8ko9Pih5
chair.”
“I’ll rest in a moment.” Vander39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72ciJE6yu7
sighed. “I came here to tell you about my meeting with my source. He gave me39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqBLRGgesb
the name of the organization who poisoned you. The Green Serpents.” Upon39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf1kgsjrTX
hearing the name, Malcolm froze.
“Are you sure that’s what he39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXt3vWQmV0
said?”
“Yea,” Vander nodded. “Ross is39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXT1OpsFK7
trustworthy, his advice has never let me down before.”
“Shit.” Vander was shocked, he had39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWoIFtCUIz
never heard the King curse before. He got up from his desk and went to stand by39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU2iORa3Bj
the window. Despite being in a coma for months, he seemed to be quite healthy.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCskYp3JDq
He couldn’t help but wonder where all that stamina came from.
“Are you alright?” Vander asked.
“If it’s the Serpents we are in39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHIVPux4i0
trouble.” The King ran his fingers through his hair. “I will have to talk to39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfTCbSN0rY
Peyton and your grandfather before saying anything else.” He turned around to39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPCRbVG9Qt
look at Vander. “I just received word that Warden Drayson will be here later39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkWEuYvduj
this afternoon. We will have her forces and some of our back to beef up39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ul0qjDVCr
security. I want you to oversee protection.”
“Are you sure?” Vander asked. “I39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7RtetEFHb
don’t think I’m experienced enough for something like that.”
“I trust you as does your39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5Gt73jY6O
grandfather.” Malcolm smiled. “You’ll do fine. Is there anything else I should39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHJbn4ERFU
know?”
“Ross can help me find where the39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxvJQtmTsq
Serpents are hiding.” Vander sighed. “But the price is steep, it can’t be paid39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i85lJxvml
with money.”
“I trust your judgement.” Malcolm39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf4DVi9cSk
walked over then squeezed Vander’s shoulder. “Now get some rest. I’ll wake you39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeTBI4uWix
when it’s time.” Nodding his appreciation, Vander headed towards the couch39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4hQ47ACWH
where he promptly passed out.
