Chapter 36
The crowds had already gathered by73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvM9Sy2CMX
the time Vander had left the basement and been brought outside. He could feel73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybjlpfVT4n
that everything was placed on a knife’s edge just waiting for someone to do73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHIZrhXzmY
something to light a match under the powder keg. There were five soldiers in73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZfv8Tu2JW
front of him, two of them were holding the chains to his hands, while the five73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutmegqSc1w
behind him were holding his leg iron chains. There were guards surrounding him73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzyD9w7hpC
as well to keep anyone from trying anything, or to keep him from escaping.
“How do you like the crowd?”73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HbZSJSAxE
Vander turned his head to see Leon smirking next to him. Leon had always felt73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8BGbC1Lz1
inferior to Vander, he wasn’t sure why, but it was always a one-sided contest73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hfo4poPTO
between the two of them.
“I’m glad to see you haven’t73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKR7nyaeq8
changed at all.” Vander snorted. “I assume that this was your doing?”
“Of course.” Leon laughed. “I73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaGSf95Kp4
wanted everyone to see you fall. It would make quite the story don’t you73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0GegKRuNz
think?”
“If you think this will change73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gYCFYDx5l
anyone’s mind about you, you’re sadly mistaken.” Vander shook his head. “You’re73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm0G8RKSez
still just a baby hiding behind his father’s power. No one will respect you. No73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHjsinmK8j
one will like you. The sooner you face facts, the happier you will be.”
“I don’t have to take that from a73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIL4bZOTFV
king slayer.” Leon hissed. “I’ll be there in the front row when they hang you.”73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrch6tb5f1
With that Leon walked off to the front of the procession.
As they made their way into the73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ65j6FqDOd
east district, Vander saw some familiar faces amongst the crowd. Many of them73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pwgpM4g6P
he had helped in the past and while he was glad to see them, he was embarrassed73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6zamG5Jd6
to have them see him like this. He wasn’t Malcolm’s killer, but did the others73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiCESorIoB
believe him? It was hard to be sure. His eyes met Julianna’s. She didn’t look73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2e6Rp2eaJ
away, but her face was grim. He turned away from her.
“Vander!” He heard her shout.73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ286wiMFX5E
“Don’t give up, we’re with you!” He looked over to see that Julianna had held73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwOYrh8hgy
her fist up in the air. Slowly and surely the others did the same. They didn’t73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWUOoQVZYG
scream, they didn’t shout, they didn’t rush the soldiers to free him. They73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz9SzPbore
showed solidarity with him, as if they didn’t believe what was being said about73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaF50WxCtG
him. He would have to prove their trust in him was correctly placed.
“Keep it moving!” one of the73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1MPDit9KL
guards shoved Vander in the back causing him to stumble. He caught himself and73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUf8QYtgWb
kept walking.
The road through the middle73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW2TQtAZBy
district was cleared for everyone. The nobles didn’t care about this, it was73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwguujrYec
below their station. They were likely asleep or cheating on their spouses. It73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuzwtNfkLW
was those in the third ring that would give him the most difficult time: the73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnziic0yT4V
comrades he served with for most of his life. It was their judgement that would73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSVpCNbEo8
hurt the most. Nothing could prepare him for what he expected to face from73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5SrRl4Uv6
them.
The Blades were standing on both73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wJTqapxqu
sides of the road with the rest of the army behind them. He knew Alex wasn’t73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1CXeodaIW
there, but he saw Chicken, Rooster, Forest, Briar, and Eve standing amongst73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN2SPvXEKa
them. In the few months he had been gone, it looked as though they had aged73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvU2guHuU7
considerably. He could tell Chicken was close to tears, but she held them back.73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqKoXXr4dA
Rooster looked straight ahead with a bewildered expression on his face. Forest73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlzYel6uxF
and Briar held each other’s hands, but Eve looked annoyed for some reason. He73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FKimzxu9y
felt a little bad that his grandfather wasn’t around. He had taken the brunt of73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsitZuN8ZB7
the punishment and now it would be his turn if he couldn’t convince the council73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgl7PqSHOl
he was innocent.
He was brought up the castle steps73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVluayH4psz
then towards the council chamber. Most of his guard detail was left behind with73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAlwYP9SNF
only the four guards holding his chains, Eric Jilena, and Leon escorting him to73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUORVoeeiIn
the council chamber for judgement to be passed upon him. However, they took him73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mqpRMerfo
to the throne room instead. Two Blades opened the door revealing the large73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuzMrfWSED
empty space, the only thing there was the throne where Cuvera was sitting.73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv2uwHRPZf
Behind him was Kiara and Eliza. Spaced evenly around them were the remaining73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwc0tU97SK
council members and they did not look happy in the least.
Peyton Cranton sat next to Cuvera73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRHvjg3YpR
with a small smile on his face. He had likely been waiting for this for a very73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HMJ65KkOu
long time.
“We brought him.” Eric pulled the73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixIUFdSPH7
chains causing Vander to stumble, falling to his knees.
“Remove the chains.” Cuvera73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTf7Hnm8st
instructed.
“My King?” Eric asked. “Is that73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hIboAixBW
wise? He already killed your father and my son. He’s dangerous. He should be…”
“I gave you an order General.”73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3nWoMZvrD
Cuvera snapped. “Do not make me repeat myself.” Eric debated whether to73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9QCgiHWDw
disobey, but eventually he relented. Vander felt the chains leave his hands73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vTusA0eg1
then clatter on the ground. He rubbed his wrists tenderly hoping to get the73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69ZzqI1aeq
feeling back into them. “Step forward.”
Vander walked until he was ten73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYihxBGInx
feet away from the throne, before dropping to one knee, bowing in front of his73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUI2FenVqn
friend. He looked up to see that Cuvera had aged considerably these past few73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zspEAL7o5
months. He was now sporting a thick brown beard. His eyes were dark, likely not73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqEN9hxxWU
getting enough sleep, and it appeared as though Kiara was pregnant with their73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQofcqWRop
first child. She was looking at Vander with a worried expression on her face.73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuxt8sE5W0
Eliza’s face was unreadable, but he detected some concern in her eyes. He73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI7mkuumnt
didn’t want to give anything away, so he just kept his eyes focused straight73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiu46fcdHp
ahead.
He noticed that the four Warden’s73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8M9PPA2uh
from the other regions were also in attendance. Jewelthorne looked bored, as if73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7o3YqEsws
he had been forced to be there. Valyrian looked at him with disgust while73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdXFzomBgN
Whitesun, the one he knew the least, looked at him with interest. Mari looked73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfSEkdXaWQ
at him with a small smile, as if she was telling him that everything was going73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnpvvsrMCa
to be alright. Despite her demeanor, he felt that it was going to be everything73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQx5lotec4
but.
“You know why you are here,73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg336xaNUVW
Vander, Blade Captain?” Cuvera’s voice echoed through the room.
“Yes.” Vander admitted. “I am73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHlb3e267P
accused of killing Malcolm and Jeffery Jilena.”
“Last night you were also seen73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazzOWp5Qoh
fleeing from the northern district right before Humi, Humjir’s head priest, was73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEMyDDn3uE
found dead.” Cuvera explained.
“Humi died?” Vander was73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShbpS8PrBv
disappointed. He had hoped that the guards would have gotten there in time, but73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dp90lWslD
he guessed wrong.
“What do you have to say for73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxkNxO85ds
yourself?”
“Innocent on all accounts.” A73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4zTSwyh4A
collective gasp went up from the council members. Anna Jilena looked like her73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ0HFnByjC
head was about to explode.
“I’ll give you a chance to tell73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLpkT4sg8X
your side of the story.” Cuvera said. “Explain to me how Lord Cranton saw you73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNBGDqijxx
kill my father, us all watching you flee the room in a hurry, then finding73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6SmFg7w6z
Jeffery Jilena dead on the ground with his throat cut.”
“I see.” Vander sighed. “Must we73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW7rTZHQmK
do this in front of them?” He motioned towards the council. “I’d rather just73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH4I9jxhei
talk to you alone.”
“So, you could kill him?” Peyton73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunsaNJeFwJ
laughed. “I think not. You’re the criminal here, you don’t get special73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDdAKuA7Hm
treatment.” As much as he hated to admit it, Peyton was right. So, he told them73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU26hH8ua6
what had happened.
He started by talking about what73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp1dsFYabb
had happened in the catacombs when Cuvera went to visit his mother. Boar had73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZonleE0Ae5
come to him in a vision, telling him to grab the book on the gods that Malcolm73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm5E00vDdb
had shown him in his office. Not bothering to question his ancestor, Vander73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfNfcLYHsO
waited until everyone was distracted before sneaking into the library and73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq4tfPOU24
grabbing the book. Malcolm had seen him, but before either of them could say a73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0HnwIx9hB
word to each other Peyton had run him through with a sword.
Peyton didn’t even flinch when73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmPlzSkIHL
Vander pointed at him, and while some of the council members looked at him73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU8SMUPxOa
sideways, Vander could tell very few believed him.
After that, he ran away because he73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4jmJYwIk8
knew Peyton would blame Vander for the deaths even though he had nothing to do73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEGHrfE7AJ
with it. Jeffery had found him on the lawn but had asked Vander to knock him73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqr1ekdxZ6
out then escape. Vander punched him in the stomach before jumping against the73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBeBRwitld
wall.
Topal whispered to the council73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByy9RYZTGN
member next to him, but it was so quiet that Vander could hear what was being73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu69AzjkBYG
said.
Vander continued. He fled to the73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJCjWxGXEw
Orange Fox because he knew the stigma surrounding the place would keep him safe73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9gvajkUsi
while he could figure out what to do next. For three months he used the73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF1iEpqkvb
resources available to him to track down and find the Serpents, however he73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwqY0GgEY3
didn’t go into too much detail. He killed seven of them, then discovered a note73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4i7jhmBHN
sending an assassin known as Fang after him. Afterwards he went to talk to Humi73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6C35kZrjF
when they were attacked by an assassin. He told Vander to flee while holding73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T6C0OcPdO
them off, but he guessed he didn’t last much longer after that.
“Then you found me two days73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG1FhuuIuY
later.” Vander finished. “That’s all that happened.”
“Seems whoever you talk to just73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tbFti8K02
seems to be killed.” Peyton said. “There is a pattern here, Vander, I’m not73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEbVZIszih
sure if anyone else can see it, but I can.”
“I also agree with Peyton.” Anna73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgQKgrpOLd
Jilena seethed. “My son is dead because of you. Your story of what happened is73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTdEwHKgvb
nonsense. My son’s throat was cut, there no question there.”
“If I may.” Topal raised his hand.73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEGLJnC1b4
“When I did the autopsy of Jeffery, I noticed some discoloration around his73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIBDPZ3byy
diaphragm along with some bruising within his lungs. To me, it seemed as though73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyPUS1RbcY
he had been struck five minutes before his throat was cut. There also wasn’t a73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8nadWRJ0h
blood trail leading from the body to the wall.”
“He killed him!” Anna screeched.73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHsftukXr0
Bickering broke out amongst the council members causing Cuvera to stand up from73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv96WNUfEr4
the throne.
“Take him to the dungeons until we73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXCoigH0Hq
get this settled.” Cuvera instructed. Bowing his head, Eric placed his hand on73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r68boeSr6
Vander’s shoulders. Sighing, Vander stood up allowing himself to be led towards73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqZY6qXN0N
the dungeons.
Before Eric handed him over to the73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLdpXoYAkv
jailers, he made Vander face him.
“My son, Jeffery, he respected you73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡana0pzDqUA
a lot.” He spoke. “For his sake, I hope your innocent.”

“I am.” Vander nodded. Perhaps73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaQLOFieNM
taking some solace at that fact, Eric gave him a small smile. He snapped his73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKFOHp8crU
fingers. The two jailers walked up, grabbed Vander’s arms, and brought him to73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9xuJilJE6
his cell. They pushed him into the dank, musty flat that had rags for a blanket73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0dzWp7MLE
and very little warmth. The slammed the door shut, covering him in darkness.
