Chapter 36
The crowds had already gathered by82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii6hgCpCJy
the time Vander had left the basement and been brought outside. He could feel82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaZ8tVKvDS
that everything was placed on a knife’s edge just waiting for someone to do82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluU3ohxtx6
something to light a match under the powder keg. There were five soldiers in82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoKTaizqFw
front of him, two of them were holding the chains to his hands, while the five82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODBOGbafRQ
behind him were holding his leg iron chains. There were guards surrounding him82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOetjcWSFF6
as well to keep anyone from trying anything, or to keep him from escaping.
“How do you like the crowd?”82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBwNjgDpxj
Vander turned his head to see Leon smirking next to him. Leon had always felt82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayVcTL6uZr
inferior to Vander, he wasn’t sure why, but it was always a one-sided contest82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGAtlOYk9X
between the two of them.
“I’m glad to see you haven’t82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMrMib4nfX
changed at all.” Vander snorted. “I assume that this was your doing?”
“Of course.” Leon laughed. “I82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72m6Rw4t6b
wanted everyone to see you fall. It would make quite the story don’t you82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqClXhSkJ7
think?”
“If you think this will change82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLINeN9TiVX
anyone’s mind about you, you’re sadly mistaken.” Vander shook his head. “You’re82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRqh9l99Zo
still just a baby hiding behind his father’s power. No one will respect you. No82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA7OOpGC2d
one will like you. The sooner you face facts, the happier you will be.”
“I don’t have to take that from a82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7L2BWC33u
king slayer.” Leon hissed. “I’ll be there in the front row when they hang you.”82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQbeocJcWi
With that Leon walked off to the front of the procession.
As they made their way into the82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywHZZfnSHo
east district, Vander saw some familiar faces amongst the crowd. Many of them82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnqkT0zGTh
he had helped in the past and while he was glad to see them, he was embarrassed82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9rADWQObe
to have them see him like this. He wasn’t Malcolm’s killer, but did the others82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH191rzaIu3
believe him? It was hard to be sure. His eyes met Julianna’s. She didn’t look82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt34abrdBLW
away, but her face was grim. He turned away from her.
“Vander!” He heard her shout.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSJxhDJSWE
“Don’t give up, we’re with you!” He looked over to see that Julianna had held82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TxQlZexP2
her fist up in the air. Slowly and surely the others did the same. They didn’t82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbEN7C8E9i
scream, they didn’t shout, they didn’t rush the soldiers to free him. They82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibeh9SNlnM
showed solidarity with him, as if they didn’t believe what was being said about82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8Y638cnjP
him. He would have to prove their trust in him was correctly placed.
“Keep it moving!” one of the82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzVYg74H0z
guards shoved Vander in the back causing him to stumble. He caught himself and82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27hPeHWAiv
kept walking.
The road through the middle82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszFLnqKM3N
district was cleared for everyone. The nobles didn’t care about this, it was82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4sqfhQFU0
below their station. They were likely asleep or cheating on their spouses. It82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdXrD6zCAq
was those in the third ring that would give him the most difficult time: the82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8M4ySacum
comrades he served with for most of his life. It was their judgement that would82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeimedkIrl
hurt the most. Nothing could prepare him for what he expected to face from82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlrW5v7sPW
them.
The Blades were standing on both82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q4g1rUVin
sides of the road with the rest of the army behind them. He knew Alex wasn’t82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqL61Crs5I
there, but he saw Chicken, Rooster, Forest, Briar, and Eve standing amongst82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk3gLJRarN
them. In the few months he had been gone, it looked as though they had aged82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nMdZgFzLN
considerably. He could tell Chicken was close to tears, but she held them back.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKjVpAmk6L
Rooster looked straight ahead with a bewildered expression on his face. Forest82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97iSBDzk2u
and Briar held each other’s hands, but Eve looked annoyed for some reason. He82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4W563WScX
felt a little bad that his grandfather wasn’t around. He had taken the brunt of82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP71kmu364
the punishment and now it would be his turn if he couldn’t convince the council82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0ulK15YRP
he was innocent.
He was brought up the castle steps82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDgwIbw3wg
then towards the council chamber. Most of his guard detail was left behind with82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlqb5Q7GOe
only the four guards holding his chains, Eric Jilena, and Leon escorting him to82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUxL2RlZGj
the council chamber for judgement to be passed upon him. However, they took him82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbu37lX0ZZ
to the throne room instead. Two Blades opened the door revealing the large82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoPEzOhQwY
empty space, the only thing there was the throne where Cuvera was sitting.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRgLZpNgQi
Behind him was Kiara and Eliza. Spaced evenly around them were the remaining82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP5SSYMMl9
council members and they did not look happy in the least.
Peyton Cranton sat next to Cuvera82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujnSR2PSrs
with a small smile on his face. He had likely been waiting for this for a very82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n0xWlhJAC
long time.
“We brought him.” Eric pulled the82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5WFl0xy5k
chains causing Vander to stumble, falling to his knees.
“Remove the chains.” Cuvera82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb35gpNXV3C
instructed.
“My King?” Eric asked. “Is that82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX5mw6OJg2
wise? He already killed your father and my son. He’s dangerous. He should be…”
“I gave you an order General.”82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8flErfF9rc
Cuvera snapped. “Do not make me repeat myself.” Eric debated whether to82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZSXrb7tID
disobey, but eventually he relented. Vander felt the chains leave his hands82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfT9Zm7pIJ
then clatter on the ground. He rubbed his wrists tenderly hoping to get the82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd5AtQDzIo
feeling back into them. “Step forward.”
Vander walked until he was ten82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7VUHzfgjF
feet away from the throne, before dropping to one knee, bowing in front of his82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn8GTXKdiy
friend. He looked up to see that Cuvera had aged considerably these past few82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVepkFY7bWL
months. He was now sporting a thick brown beard. His eyes were dark, likely not82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNXsK3ul37
getting enough sleep, and it appeared as though Kiara was pregnant with their82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5XLexL4Pc
first child. She was looking at Vander with a worried expression on her face.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9jXr443Pg
Eliza’s face was unreadable, but he detected some concern in her eyes. He82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwupH1c5nu
didn’t want to give anything away, so he just kept his eyes focused straight82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZTSiqlpZs
ahead.
He noticed that the four Warden’s82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5ABWwY39a
from the other regions were also in attendance. Jewelthorne looked bored, as if82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4MZao9FAB
he had been forced to be there. Valyrian looked at him with disgust while82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2l9vdF7T2
Whitesun, the one he knew the least, looked at him with interest. Mari looked82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGLkanqOti
at him with a small smile, as if she was telling him that everything was going82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpr6bwTafj
to be alright. Despite her demeanor, he felt that it was going to be everything82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT6Pc6uLI6
but.
“You know why you are here,82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgPY3JW9KL
Vander, Blade Captain?” Cuvera’s voice echoed through the room.
“Yes.” Vander admitted. “I am82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBDBAhT99v
accused of killing Malcolm and Jeffery Jilena.”
“Last night you were also seen82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhOkXL1XfE
fleeing from the northern district right before Humi, Humjir’s head priest, was82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzbf4dwLoe
found dead.” Cuvera explained.
“Humi died?” Vander was82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTQhuScZOO
disappointed. He had hoped that the guards would have gotten there in time, but82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrchCAIqyzu
he guessed wrong.
“What do you have to say for82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG8anIUm61
yourself?”
“Innocent on all accounts.” A82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdFPlW0XHb
collective gasp went up from the council members. Anna Jilena looked like her82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9IF2DR6bR
head was about to explode.
“I’ll give you a chance to tell82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0VyZEZZwX
your side of the story.” Cuvera said. “Explain to me how Lord Cranton saw you82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDijknm0PmT
kill my father, us all watching you flee the room in a hurry, then finding82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLGqzyV74S
Jeffery Jilena dead on the ground with his throat cut.”
“I see.” Vander sighed. “Must we82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyhLhM5JWJ
do this in front of them?” He motioned towards the council. “I’d rather just82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTIaexfHA2
talk to you alone.”
“So, you could kill him?” Peyton82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4pYzFaCQN
laughed. “I think not. You’re the criminal here, you don’t get special82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNyHqdGfal
treatment.” As much as he hated to admit it, Peyton was right. So, he told them82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqdGzUY0E5
what had happened.
He started by talking about what82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeikUru3qPZ
had happened in the catacombs when Cuvera went to visit his mother. Boar had82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PcD7NtDei
come to him in a vision, telling him to grab the book on the gods that Malcolm82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6R4OWFZ8i
had shown him in his office. Not bothering to question his ancestor, Vander82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKiafIoEiV
waited until everyone was distracted before sneaking into the library and82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEFtkCAvBe
grabbing the book. Malcolm had seen him, but before either of them could say a82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRk1Zmeuc6
word to each other Peyton had run him through with a sword.
Peyton didn’t even flinch when82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4CYyO1J2s
Vander pointed at him, and while some of the council members looked at him82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xjkMJ13mb
sideways, Vander could tell very few believed him.
After that, he ran away because he82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF63RkO2Ss
knew Peyton would blame Vander for the deaths even though he had nothing to do82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x3t86ms8A
with it. Jeffery had found him on the lawn but had asked Vander to knock him82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh03NzqEkS
out then escape. Vander punched him in the stomach before jumping against the82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RUiMAXVLb
wall.
Topal whispered to the council82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10XHrdIpuB
member next to him, but it was so quiet that Vander could hear what was being82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6zXWP5Zw8
said.
Vander continued. He fled to the82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VPxPD6qs9
Orange Fox because he knew the stigma surrounding the place would keep him safe82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6HsLzK5ap
while he could figure out what to do next. For three months he used the82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tu6EbTttC
resources available to him to track down and find the Serpents, however he82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYoxt3m8Q8
didn’t go into too much detail. He killed seven of them, then discovered a note82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGywRg6vlp
sending an assassin known as Fang after him. Afterwards he went to talk to Humi82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH98iaroPV
when they were attacked by an assassin. He told Vander to flee while holding82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKzjPqNouq
them off, but he guessed he didn’t last much longer after that.
“Then you found me two days82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3WU4CgV46
later.” Vander finished. “That’s all that happened.”
“Seems whoever you talk to just82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmDE3pU2aH
seems to be killed.” Peyton said. “There is a pattern here, Vander, I’m not82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMpYRnrtYy
sure if anyone else can see it, but I can.”
“I also agree with Peyton.” Anna82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMiRe6SLWA
Jilena seethed. “My son is dead because of you. Your story of what happened is82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzyhshAiQo
nonsense. My son’s throat was cut, there no question there.”
“If I may.” Topal raised his hand.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbefP4baJm
“When I did the autopsy of Jeffery, I noticed some discoloration around his82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7TbX3gxpc
diaphragm along with some bruising within his lungs. To me, it seemed as though82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBYn9sptVy
he had been struck five minutes before his throat was cut. There also wasn’t a82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XpTgAUmxT
blood trail leading from the body to the wall.”
“He killed him!” Anna screeched.82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWngOC0JZA
Bickering broke out amongst the council members causing Cuvera to stand up from82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8RhRzHXCC
the throne.
“Take him to the dungeons until we82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBxGYUMQwu
get this settled.” Cuvera instructed. Bowing his head, Eric placed his hand on82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMiS29ApOc
Vander’s shoulders. Sighing, Vander stood up allowing himself to be led towards82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLVMvK6RKK
the dungeons.
Before Eric handed him over to the82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mc2xZoItO
jailers, he made Vander face him.
“My son, Jeffery, he respected you82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i2sAgBpLt
a lot.” He spoke. “For his sake, I hope your innocent.”

“I am.” Vander nodded. Perhaps82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV9aB2f32d
taking some solace at that fact, Eric gave him a small smile. He snapped his82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8T9qtIg3g
fingers. The two jailers walked up, grabbed Vander’s arms, and brought him to82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb3hgok823
his cell. They pushed him into the dank, musty flat that had rags for a blanket82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxGIyG1yPz
and very little warmth. The slammed the door shut, covering him in darkness.
