Chapter 13
After the unnerving meeting with97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gviDUi50s
Veyar, again, Vander tucked Mari into her bed and quietly left so he didn’t97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8o4KCoA5X
disturb anyone in the apartment. Once he arrived at the bottom of the steps,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev2PXlycon
her guards handed him back his sword while the Blades bowed to both him and97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVFum0gPxq
Shea. Then he headed back to his old room.
He hated that he was now97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy45hJf5fMM
practically confined to the castle, but he knew it came from a place of care.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjplqnEINla
This was the second time in as many weeks he had been attacked, and even though97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYtNXnTWPe
he hadn’t been harmed this time, the fact that he had been so blatantly97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6D1s8QaB6
targeted meant he was in danger no matter what. He was lucky to have Alex97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb3gZJMPUm
watching his back, but if the assassins were smart, they would wait until he97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwycnmgb5tt
was alone during the festivities to celebrate the prince’s marriage while97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhxgmMnOYp
everyone was distracted. It’s what he would do. But for now, he had to focus on97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonLbxG5UQT
getting the recruits ready. Despite what his grandfather thought, they were97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5qxWjocIh
better off being used rather than left to the side. If things were going the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcchOBU8Pn
way he expected they would, they would have to be ready sooner rather than97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygjWYwHYBX
later.
The five recruits stood in front97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9VTOdaKGG
of him, each admiring the new swords he had given to them from the Blade97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8DnzmX6qr
armory. They would be the exact swords they would be given upon graduating, but97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdsr7c5f52
Vander had gone to Charles early in the morning, shortly before meeting them97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOOVydkvuk
for the training session and begged him to allow them to train with their97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhIIxeyIrz
actual swords just in case. They argued for a little while before the older man97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbAA11IFKL
finally relented under the condition that he come to see how they were doing.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm088qhYYYJ
Vander agreed and now Charles was standing between him and Alex looking the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclrJY4Pn2m
recruits over with a critical eye.
“These swords will be your97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UAyZXoVsw
livelihood.” Vander instructed as he paced in front of the recruits as they97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqyQiw3TM1
stared down at their weapons with a mixture of awe and fear. “They are made97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqiesKNwu1
with viriuum from the Northern Mountains. They will not bend; they will not97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSD0paCDU9
break. They were created with your abilities in mind, they are an extension of97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrxs11knD5
you and need to be treated with respect.”
“I thought we were supposed to get97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmBUzMYbbW
these only when we became full Blades.” Rooster asked. “Or, at the very least,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv3iKChpYB
trainees, why do we have them now?”
“Circumstances may allow you to be97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0B3VlxSws
graduated early.” Charles stepped up. “You’ve heard about the attacks on the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVPXQcuEsE
castle and in the city. You might be needed early than originally planned, but97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyEIq99Nxf
first you must prove to me you deserve the chance.” Forest and Briar grinned97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeNdXsTIEL
like a couple of idiots.
“What do we have to do?” They97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju6sEglkhc
asked in unison. To everyone’s surprise, aside from Vander’s, Charles unbuckled97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzIPEA3TJE
his sword then tossed it to Alex.
“You will have to97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mzhp9y3Pi
fight against me.” Then he removed his jacket and tossed it to Vander. Despite97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjVWWashcA
how old he was, he was still an absolute unit of a man. His arms were thick97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzWPa4hj62
from his years of fighting and training recruits as well as having the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdvdb4lybO
knowledge of fighting packed into his head. Despite all the times Vander had97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYHlOQYsW4
challenged him since he was old enough to wear the uniform, he had never beaten97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhSociFyTL
him, not once.
“One at a time or97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzix58MyGwD
altogether?” Rooster asked.
“However, you97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4UNQIjVTi
want.” Charles grinned. “Weapons are allowed, so just try and make this97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrLvPqVD1J
entertaining for me.” The recruits emboldened by the challenge rose to their97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG6AXPjvTX
feet.
Forever the good97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhadOmPZY3
sport, Rooster sheathed his sword, carefully placing his jacket on the ground97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HgLkU6aaG
and putting the sword on top. He stretched for a second before charging at his97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WKCwqPYou
Commander. He threw his weight around Charles’s middle to get him onto his97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNukChHKpz
back, but Charles stood his ground. He brought his fists up then hammered them97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCObQArsZJx
down in Rooster’s back. When his grip weakened, Charles brought his knee up97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezybVyWLll
into Rooster’s stomach then flipped him around, so he hit the ground hard. He97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHrLGrrXO3
went to stamp down on Rooster’s stomach, but he rolled away.
Rooster had taken97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJYcm6nStS
damage, that much was certain. He staggered back to his feet then spit out a97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FYoxyWaQ4
wad of blood. Grinning, he raised his fists in front of him, but Vander could97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLhtIa2HfW
tell he didn’t have much left in him. His legs were shaking, and it was taking97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqedn6JSdvO
all his energy just to stand. However, he should have stayed down. Charles97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO0RjCBSzh
didn’t go easy on anyone; Vander knew that firsthand. Charles didn’t hesitate.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39eSuSZDN4
He began throwing punch after punch at Rooster. At first, he did a good job97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzGfxrNoo0
blocking, but it was like defending against a hammer. His arms became heavy,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqMUnTERQB
and he could no longer block many of the blows. He started taking strikes to97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrweLAbsjp8
his face and chest. Rooster’s eyes rolled to the back of his head, but he97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcdkqoTEN0
stayed standing. Charles threw another punch but once he noticed Rooster’s97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcWdRiDLgn
condition, he stopped. A second later he97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLU1O9egEJ
fell to the ground unconscious.
Charles didn’t97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1DHSB2HUG
look bothered by beating up a recruit, but based on the admiration in his eye,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATk6AdniLj
Rooster passed. That just left the other four. As usual, Forest and Briar97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LrrgSi9wy
decided to go after him together. Their teamwork has been a lot better since97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBIPusJ2Jy
their trail in the forest, but they would still be no match for Charles.
They went after97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bW9fYfa3d
him, one on each side. Both aimed a punch to his cheek, but he blocked them,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQOcX7rrLp
then grabbed their wrists and pulled them into each other. Their bodies97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6viwwZzuE
collided with a painful crack. They fell to the ground rubbing their heads97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eYa3ADJhq
together. They didn’t stay down for long, they again got up and began97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChIGyGt4Pl
assaulting him, but Charles started to move. He made sure to keep himself away97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lxMrCn5YQ
from the two of them, always moving his body so they would get in each other’s97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvUGraOLJS
way. They got so used to his movements that when he stopped, they kept going.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRJkX4PFXW
Charles aimed a kick at Forest’s side which he wasn’t kick enough to move out97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUM6xetp7T
of the way. He brought his arm up to block, but the kick was too forceful.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDsA6lqRCe
Forest collided with Briar and Vander was sure his arm was broken. The two of97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP84JTzl1uP
them didn’t get back up.
Charles didn’t97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm4yma4mHl
have time to see If they were alright. Eve came at him with her sword97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijx94fWXnj
unsheathed. He slowly dodged sideways the sword trimmed off a couple of hairs97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLqzPxyQiu
from his head. Not skipping a beat, once she realized she had missed, he turned97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiyl7IZ3iM
the blade and went for a horizontal slash aiming for his chest. He blocked the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOay4cmX5pW
strike with his armored boot then slammed it onto the ground. If it was any97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE0OzSOZ8Q
other metal, it would have snapped in half. She let go of the hilt to throw a97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3fpe8j1xO
punch which he easily blocked. He countered by punching her in the jaw,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAJYQTWfNn
knocking her unconscious.
Vander frowned as97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRc0opEeBk
he looked at her body. She had lost so easily, but it had also been slobby.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rsYpvzASy
During training in the woods, she was a much better fighter than she showed97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgbmzDd9KU
just now. Was he just blinded or had she intentionally thrown the match with97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6DRUN2OHE
the commander?
Charles got up97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf458vUoBh
and looked over at Chicken who held his gaze. “And what do you have for me?” he97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKXDi3D9Xh
asked her.
“I’m not much of97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKso7hUydpa
a fighter.” She rubbed the back of her head.
“Then what use97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXW9AkQWSI
are you to me?” he asked. If she was offended by the question she didn’t show97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnSBFV5ndZ
it.
“I have a perfect97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS9eyBKYW2
recall and excellent head for tactics.” She explained. “What I could do in the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG58pKRmJeM
battle is negligible as to what I can do when it comes to planning.” Charles97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOCzyjXdDI
folded his arms and looked down at her thoughtfully. Then he proceeded to ask97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyAv3U4sDO
her questions ranging from military history all the way to tactics and what she97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGsCHRGBuy
would do in any given situation. If anything, that battle was more tense than97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3VhsVCmPk
the three he just had with the others. Vander couldn’t even keep track of what97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JkuwddrF3
was being said. It took a few more minutes before Charles seemed to have been97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiRC0XYf5K
satisfied and came back to collect both his sword and jacket.
“They learned97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OpnQRfy8x
quickly these past six months.” Charles said. “Very well, I agree to them97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUbqZp86c5
becoming trainees, however, make sure that one knows how to fight.” He hooked a97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DtoU1xuUb
thumb back towards Chicken who had gone over to check on her brother. “Every97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3roVj0gDP2
Blade must know, even if she spends her time as an advisor. No exceptions.”
“Yes sir.” Vander97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCsf7n230C
bowed.
“I also received97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC3DeURP3I
news that the rest of the Warden’s will be arriving today. I want them properly97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq0JSG1Fp3
dressed and standing behind you once we greet them.”
“It will be97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lri9UPXR9
done.” Satisfied, Charles left heading back towards the castle.
∙
It took about97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lIQ6bzulC
thirty minutes for the recruits to awaken after the beating they took at97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2uuljLNXy
Charles’ hands. Vander quickly checked them for damage, but Charles was precise97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRVpBXwOAk
in his fighting. Aside from a few bruised ribs and sore stomachs, they were all97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDQy4BXPcp
fine. Once he told them they had passed, they all celebrated by dancing around97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegZNyi4GqH
and slapping each other on their backs, their pain long forgotten. Vander was97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjgGE8D5y8
even more surprised that Chicken passed even with her penchant for books97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZeom4mA6w
instead of fighting. He had told her what the Commander had told him, and she97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtYjM0yiUK
agreed that she had to become better at fighting. She asked for more lessons97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKS48c5zdg
and Alex agreed. He would be the one to train her. With that done he sent them97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmpUEEThqe
to the dorms so they could get ready for the Warden’s arrival.
He quickly97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuubU7Chqf
showered then got changed in his dress uniform. His pants were ironed and97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpNO5tkflK
waiting from when he arrived back. His jacket was neatly pressed with the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMKEefpFe0
creases worked out of it. In a small display container were all the medals he97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQptOcUwXX
had received since joining and they had to be properly pinned on the jacket. It97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwEJqDsJCL
was a lot of work for a couple of hours, but it had to be done or it would97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpj2dTYwbU
reflect badly upon the King and his grandfather.
He put on his97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gq8P1iPIC
pants followed by a blue dress shirt then he sat down to polish his boots. Shea97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIe8rqJDl6
sat on the bed watching all of this unfold when her head on top of her paws.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19h2RXEPod
Once his boots were right he placed them on and tied them tightly. He turned97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXGUOUbxAX
back to Shea.
“Get down here97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCcrr63mxG
so I can brush your fur.”
“I don’t want97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvMnAbdIGU
to go.” She whined.
“You have to.”97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIStyuYMbVp
He chided. “You are a Blade, and we are all expected to go. You can sit97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eDDVsdrWb
behind me if you wish, but you will be there. Now get down here.” She97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgLkRv4mRx
glared over at him but did as he asked. She sat down in-between his legs as he97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn0Cmkuyoh
picked up the brush and oil then began combing her. She stayed still for it,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu98vAP8vI
but when he came to a knot she let her displeasure known with a low growl. He97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPkCbiQipk
ignored her and kept going, even though he had to bribe her with more meat in97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXlBFGfLoo
exchange for not biting his hand. Fair trade.
The two of them97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl2KH17Aij
made their way down the stairs and towards the castle door. There were Blades97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWobCVpPv7i
standing at attention on both sides of the red carpet where the Wardens would97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzMXdhr2Fw
walk once they arrived. They would go to the throne room where they would meet97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2ZrSUdKQd
with the others and the council to discuss the wedding and their roles in it,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywv88mHXVp
and maybe some matters of state. It was rare that outsides would be allowed in,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMRfI7bgdP
and Vander wasn’t an exception.
Shea and Vander97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ87cV61A7i
took their positions next to Charles, standing to his left, because the King97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0od5D8nX4z
was to the right. All the ranking Blades stood next to him while the council97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FTorVboKZ
members stood on the King’s right side. Mari Drayson and her daughter stood97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRmU2fgZGG
between the King and Viggo Visc, per the custom when any other Warden was in97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmskAoLq8k
the city. Peyton stood to Viggo’s right while Bernard stood in the door way. To97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE9pFXjEFp
the front, in between each, stood a soldier who would protect the council with97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhnvtsDdZr
their lives if it came down to it, only the King was left unprotected, as it97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlKcutS3e5
was ceremonial, but also the job of a Blade to risk their lives for the King. Shea97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA3WKlWjVd
took her spot behind Vander but would be ready to act in case her friend’s life97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLS5SfsknE
was in danger. They didn’t have long to wait before the sounds of the drums97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9tLB8jH2d
were heard from the Western Gates.
Even though the wardens97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rn4W3fWLW
came from the north, west, and south, the western gate was the closest point97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrYPQlTGW6
between the three, so their entire entourage met there and walked through the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOzzqOvK5L
streets until they reached the King. As the citizens were given enough of a97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlYgYCDd7m
warning, the streets were closed in celebration. Vander could hear the cheers97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0Ug9D0lxC
all the way from where he stood, the noise made his sensitive ears hurt, but he97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalscZxOkKu
had to stand strong, or others would get suspicious. It took nearly an hour for97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYzXXU6yAA
the Warden’s to make their way to the inner ring, but their entrance was extravagant.
The first warden97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlvUf4XJ9P
to appear was Jira Jewelthorne, the Western Warden. He had short black hair and97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRkWlrv4wZ
black eyes. He wore extravagant and expensive clothing: today he wore opulent97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KM67Uu02C
gold with red trim. His fingers were adorned with silver and gold rings with various97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pgB4LsjXy
gemstones imbedded inside of them. He had no standing army. Instead, he hired97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEZpqNeN7S
mercenaries to protect his kingdom. There was a small squad of ten flaking his97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5yZqv9Es5
horse as he rode. The Blades assigned to protected him were behind them and it97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAJyIfkHpo
appeared as though they were holding chains for a man walking between them.
Right behind him97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVnSvCbJdl
came Leida Valariyan, the ruler of Stormcrag. Despite her young age, the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gqBvRYhjf
youngest of all the wardens, the weather made her cold and unyielding. She sat97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvKVeZJ8wu
stony faced upon her horse, her salt gray hair tied back in a ponytail, her97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWzJH1HvEg
green eyes looking straight at the King. She was a warrior through and through.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjde3IbDE5
The only person she brought with her was97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGPaGXLuzp
her cloaked fighter, Drakon, No one knew what he looked like underneath that97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo1sd4lqdJ
ratty black cloak, even Vander’s eyes couldn’t pierce the shadows. Whoever he97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpvFTevZ0s
was, he was enchanted. Five Blades with terrified expressions followed behind97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoblxfm3dSt
her. Charles would have to give them the next week off to recover.
The final warden97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCvw1mq1hf
was Malakai Whitesun. He exuded power and strength. In wars past he was the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA7XozZizO
King’s most trusted confidant, and it was due to his family that the rest of97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw5FX4MeiV
Eluvia was safe from Bricen’s attacks. His entire body was tanned from living97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblR8C8lb7a
down there and due to the heat he kept his head shaved. He wore a white vest,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN18q5inY7
with nothing else on underneath, and white poofy pants that allowed him to stay97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRaml9uowI
cool even in the hottest conditions. He had his own general which was borrowed97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQPfA7xlq2
from the city: Eric Jilena, the patriarch and husband to Anna Jilena. Sitting97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadIWz6EI91
behind him was his son, Alphonse, who was poised to take his father’s position.
The six main97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSdhVorgFT
figures got down from their horses to walk up the red carpet while the others97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxzGpgzINM
stayed where they were. A few feet from the King, each of them got down on one97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguYkcw3Mmt
knee then bowed their heads.
“Rise my97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgp7dXzDnK
friends.” Malcom laughed. He walked down to greet them, his blue trimmed, white97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI8cUHYQKa
cape dragged on to the floor behind him. He stood each of their hands in turn,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK4etQuAT5
his royal signet out for everyone to see. While he got to Leida, she presented97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKt1z2U3TM
her cheek so he could kiss it. “I hope your travels were fair.”
“They were97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhfY2XXxNm
indeed.” Jira laughed, his voice fake, but the gleam in his eyes weren’t as he97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW7gJahV6f
gazed at the noblewomen standing in the line. “My mercenaries are in dire need97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dBSmagF2F
of food, drink and entertainment, as am I.”
“And they will97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBmqmnsyEy
have them.” Malcolm chuckled. “And how are you General? Are you excited to be97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHg9jr7I6F
back home?”
“I am my King.” Eric97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Sl6lJdp4i
bowed. “I have missed my wife and other children greatly.”
“And you97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOznRFkjocJ
Alphonse?” he turned to the general’s youngest son.
“Yes, my lord.”97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMnL4OStvL
Alphonse bowed his head. “Though I’m afraid this weather will take some time to97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kHqlJUmd2
get used to again.”
“I have food for97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWdfNyG5oE
you all inside.” Malcolm turned to step back towards the castle. “If you would97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ae3w8JRWt
please follow me.”
“Not yet my97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhd4GP2BD0
King.” Malakai placed his hand on the King’s shoulder. Vander involuntarily97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5dHKS1O7j
went for his sword, but his grandfather’s glare kept his hand still. “We have a97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkt60hyZtk
surprise for you.” Malakai turned and shouted: “MAKE WAY FOR THE PRINCE!” All97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9u4vWWyQq
at once, all those in attendance stepped aside and saluted. A carriage, unseen97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMExYArzd7
by everyone opened and Cuvera, along with two veiled women walked out. The last97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuuD1dI24o
person out was General Jasper Valentin, Bree’s father.
Upon seeing his97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vAs5KQj8L
father, Cuvera smiled. His sandy brown hair flowed in the wind as he locked the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolt4Gc4vr9
same-colored eyes on his father’s. He was wearing a smart blue colored jacket97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YstGpiPh8
with the royal family’s crest etched on the front. On his hand was another,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6tOPW1PWn
identical signet ring, to his father’s. He ran up to embrace his father. After97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRdkJ82fA8
a moment the two of them broke apart, but Malcolm held onto his son’s arms.
“I wasn’t97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNMRBjVJ18
expecting you for another week.” He gasped. “Why have you arrived so soon.”
“We met up with97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHSR4JKh9X
Lord Whiteson as he crossed the river, so we decided to go together. I left the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIkIuoDL68
main soldiers on the road as Malakai would be able to protect us.” He stepped97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMazuE14Ph
back to wave the two women forward. He wrapped his arms around the one wearing97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldGSpxiM6Z
red and orange. “This lovely lady is my betrothed, Kiara.” She removed her97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oSkxpdPkb
veil, and everyone released their breath they didn’t know they were holding.
Her skin was a97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAWw50xrp0
deep brown color with vibrant golden eyes. Her dark brown hair was pulled back97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadQxRq2q0W
into a loose weave, but there were some strands framing her face. You could97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB8JfYsQHg
tell that her body was that of a warrior: lithe, muscular, lethal. Vander could97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljgYcNBkcO
easily see her twirling on the battlefield cutting people down left and right.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi27XhPDBQc
He secretly hoped Cuvera knew what he was in for. Unknown to everyone other97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nh00IZc57
than him, he could feel otherworldly power radiating from her that made him97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPDSAajCLE
nervous. It felt as though he was staring at the sun. Even Shea whimpered from97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuRJtzppz6
behind him.
“It’s nice to97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihchKwd0I3
meet you all.” She curtsied. Everyone bowed their heads in respect to their97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToTAySB92E
future queen. Malcolm walked up then kissed both her cheeks before embracing97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsk7om22Eu
her.
“It’s wonderful97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfzSFePz7V
to meet you.” he laughed. “I hope my son has been treating you well on your97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp6CvHS0ty
travels together?” Kiara wrapped her arms through Cuvera’s.
“He’s been97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyHA5eJip4
perfect.” She smiled. Her gazed flickered to Vander. Upon noticing him her eyes97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzWOoZHaoz
widened then she whispered something into his ear. He nodded his head then97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MJC4QMvlv
turned back to his father.
“There is one97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWK2trqnDo
more person we’d like to introduce everyone too.” He motioned the mystery women97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AgGhom4hw
forward. She was dressed similarly to Kiara except her uniform was yellow and97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH9xU57vSV
silver. She stepped forward then removed her veil. Without waiting for anyone97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNstAXCrWOX
to introduce her, she introduced herself:
“My name is97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUykb3Rfjs
Eliza, Kiara’s younger sister and bodyguard.” She curtsied. “I hope to be of97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ3Qoruer0
use to all of you here.” She looked over at Vander and the breath left his body97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc2kMFYLLK
for a moment. She was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. She was97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpciYIUxwoS
smaller than Kiara but had more defined muscles. Her brown hair was tied back97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03nHFs4Sde
into a tight ponytail, her silver eyes looked at him as if she could see97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg7ncvKA54
everything.
“It would be our97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2Pg6O0C6H
honor to have you.” Charles answered.
“Let us go97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TPB2oYwgs
inside.” Cuvera offered. “I’m tired from my travels and I’m sure the wardens97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrmjNguFaj
are as well.”
“Of course.”97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6veCjmKVSv
Malcolm grinned. “Bernard made sure everyone’s rooms were made up properly and97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGtHLANVXT
we have spared no expense to have your men as comfortable down in the city as97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj9jjFtu1T
possible. I trust I don’t need to explain the rules?”
“No sir,”97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h9Jd8bdml
Whitesun grinned. “We remember what happened last time.”
“Excellent.”97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7POwjWhSHO
Malcolm clapped his hands. “Come my son, there is much I must talk with you97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc3kHhMMD3
about. My dear Kiara, you should come to so we can get the chance to get to97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xN2wwVWXV
know each other.”
“Yes father.”97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9kgJc5Clq
Malcolm laughed at that but wrapped his arms around her shoulders and escorted97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLjRBAfNDB
her in. Eliza followed close behind unwilling to leave her sister alone in97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcskd48OXdO
foreign territory. When Cuvera walked past, he gripped Vander’s shoulder.
“Meet me97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR1aQY6TdE
tonight.” He whispered into his ear. Vander nodded his head.
Soon all the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBKOykYSlG
nobles disappeared back into the castle while their guards were taken into the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU9TFCgsm4
city to their lodgings. While they were here it meant more overtime for the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVMo0qtLyz
Blades and city guards because they had to make sure they behaved themselves97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zm3jxYDFS
with the locals. The only ones left other than Charles and Vander were the two97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAAT7lxqg1
generals who seemed to be discussing something with Alphonse. A moment later97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjBlE2JZw2
they split up and both Eric and his son went into the castle, likely to see97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ieal3VLOA
Anna. However, Jasper walked over to the two of them.
“Commander.” His97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pszIP5cwU
voice was curt, angry.
“General.”97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6oVh2NHlv
Charles tried to hide the disdain in his voice.
“I heard my97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM79pL2wPw
daughter went to see you.” Jasper glared down at Vander. He shrugged in97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EAWsQ9uLF
response. Suddenly Jasper grabbed Vander by the neck causing Shea to jump to97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRbR9Jow2h
her feet snarling. “You stay away from my daughter, or I will make sure you97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOBzKK1bfL
never see the light of day again.”
“Are you97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDM39VcaCp
threatening my grandson, General?” Charles asked. Suddenly Alexander and a few97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR14JfZs6T
other Blades surrounded him with their hands on their swords.
“Not a threat.”97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvXmyS0ocu
He said. “A warning.” He studied Vander for a second before pushing him away.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uuVFPoAAI
“If I find out you even breathe in her direction, you will regret it.”
“No more than the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCZCqvZD29
King regrets making you a General I’m sure.” Vander choked out. “I’m sure the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtqgRJLlAU
prince would find this very interesting.”
“I don’t know97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4Fg7NzC0u
what he sees in you, you worthless trash.” With that he pushed past them97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG1nrJ2B37
disappearing inside the castle.
“He’s really97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJLDIkKBqx
possessive of his daughter isn’t he?” Alex asked.
“He’s possessive97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdbyMcvebb
of the power she could give him through breeding.” Vander sighed. He rubbed his97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2SquFmK71
neck to try and rub the feeling back into it.
“Vander if he97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJXoLzxEwa
touches you again, kill him.” Charles growled. “I will deal with the fall back,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWlP0pqwoF
but he will not touch you again without dire consequences.”

bowed his head. “Now let’s go. I expect this party will be interesting.”
