Chapter 36
The crowds had already gathered by75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoAa86Db3h
the time Vander had left the basement and been brought outside. He could feel75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3X76xoe6u
that everything was placed on a knife’s edge just waiting for someone to do75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhEoTwAG3M
something to light a match under the powder keg. There were five soldiers in75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIUOJARdEz
front of him, two of them were holding the chains to his hands, while the five75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUc3Pa6AmN
behind him were holding his leg iron chains. There were guards surrounding him75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5McmjnnVF8
as well to keep anyone from trying anything, or to keep him from escaping.
“How do you like the crowd?”75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MDX6G9G4B
Vander turned his head to see Leon smirking next to him. Leon had always felt75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEb1wPtudf
inferior to Vander, he wasn’t sure why, but it was always a one-sided contest75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTzFyUig0C
between the two of them.
“I’m glad to see you haven’t75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVsTR3sw1c
changed at all.” Vander snorted. “I assume that this was your doing?”
“Of course.” Leon laughed. “I75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLxqXYmxpy
wanted everyone to see you fall. It would make quite the story don’t you75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGv0zMUFAJ
think?”
“If you think this will change75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf6KEIfPbA
anyone’s mind about you, you’re sadly mistaken.” Vander shook his head. “You’re75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlfmRXZsFY
still just a baby hiding behind his father’s power. No one will respect you. No75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqNaU8F8jX
one will like you. The sooner you face facts, the happier you will be.”
“I don’t have to take that from a75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7eR8iXDix
king slayer.” Leon hissed. “I’ll be there in the front row when they hang you.”75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6olS2snC8
With that Leon walked off to the front of the procession.
As they made their way into the75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcousVRZVD
east district, Vander saw some familiar faces amongst the crowd. Many of them75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AiEHDU4Dn
he had helped in the past and while he was glad to see them, he was embarrassed75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBLwvJajpT
to have them see him like this. He wasn’t Malcolm’s killer, but did the others75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgMxUhZdvV
believe him? It was hard to be sure. His eyes met Julianna’s. She didn’t look75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcK94XWhUm
away, but her face was grim. He turned away from her.
“Vander!” He heard her shout.75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0xJGn4wiC
“Don’t give up, we’re with you!” He looked over to see that Julianna had held75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1R9jaNOew
her fist up in the air. Slowly and surely the others did the same. They didn’t75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlqeoeOlC8
scream, they didn’t shout, they didn’t rush the soldiers to free him. They75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP7hhvJQ60
showed solidarity with him, as if they didn’t believe what was being said about75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC6rI7ezse
him. He would have to prove their trust in him was correctly placed.
“Keep it moving!” one of the75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJX4WcT8Qa
guards shoved Vander in the back causing him to stumble. He caught himself and75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjssJWPDqrm
kept walking.
The road through the middle75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUFDIOLj3V
district was cleared for everyone. The nobles didn’t care about this, it was75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6XyzT8dVm
below their station. They were likely asleep or cheating on their spouses. It75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7nAG0fPMm
was those in the third ring that would give him the most difficult time: the75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38q8jDy4ck
comrades he served with for most of his life. It was their judgement that would75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAyrW61Vje
hurt the most. Nothing could prepare him for what he expected to face from75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9tI7Q18gX
them.
The Blades were standing on both75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiTKRU7tay
sides of the road with the rest of the army behind them. He knew Alex wasn’t75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhMYYvLF4M
there, but he saw Chicken, Rooster, Forest, Briar, and Eve standing amongst75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUcThEyfLT
them. In the few months he had been gone, it looked as though they had aged75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTwPHrsVq8
considerably. He could tell Chicken was close to tears, but she held them back.75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg50Q9Vg7hg
Rooster looked straight ahead with a bewildered expression on his face. Forest75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgChPEyNsh
and Briar held each other’s hands, but Eve looked annoyed for some reason. He75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn88tvjyiuX
felt a little bad that his grandfather wasn’t around. He had taken the brunt of75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjNnhxh3VI
the punishment and now it would be his turn if he couldn’t convince the council75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirNbjRylDc
he was innocent.
He was brought up the castle steps75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZR9QvFxbW
then towards the council chamber. Most of his guard detail was left behind with75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ9IGr67aL
only the four guards holding his chains, Eric Jilena, and Leon escorting him to75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh82mUWcGax
the council chamber for judgement to be passed upon him. However, they took him75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMALgYZCE6
to the throne room instead. Two Blades opened the door revealing the large75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09NZujU7oj
empty space, the only thing there was the throne where Cuvera was sitting.75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjkNUjkiK8
Behind him was Kiara and Eliza. Spaced evenly around them were the remaining75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNfIKWewI0
council members and they did not look happy in the least.
Peyton Cranton sat next to Cuvera75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXeUGphOUV
with a small smile on his face. He had likely been waiting for this for a very75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77H2uJ9wYn
long time.
“We brought him.” Eric pulled the75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4JiwC5VLI
chains causing Vander to stumble, falling to his knees.
“Remove the chains.” Cuvera75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BmRgMGODb
instructed.
“My King?” Eric asked. “Is that75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvhFIoftHW
wise? He already killed your father and my son. He’s dangerous. He should be…”
“I gave you an order General.”75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyOWAEJi0W
Cuvera snapped. “Do not make me repeat myself.” Eric debated whether to75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYuYlQ0xp6
disobey, but eventually he relented. Vander felt the chains leave his hands75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ijoTQSg96
then clatter on the ground. He rubbed his wrists tenderly hoping to get the75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVihKzQn5RJ
feeling back into them. “Step forward.”
Vander walked until he was ten75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVd1A5xmw4
feet away from the throne, before dropping to one knee, bowing in front of his75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5atsuP1Qd
friend. He looked up to see that Cuvera had aged considerably these past few75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsacREjFreA
months. He was now sporting a thick brown beard. His eyes were dark, likely not75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtMDOw1O3Z
getting enough sleep, and it appeared as though Kiara was pregnant with their75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacUvPpEJlw
first child. She was looking at Vander with a worried expression on her face.75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvx22SwsMK
Eliza’s face was unreadable, but he detected some concern in her eyes. He75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh3fZLuBen
didn’t want to give anything away, so he just kept his eyes focused straight75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBVDs9bJYU
ahead.
He noticed that the four Warden’s75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MZ6j8DXKk
from the other regions were also in attendance. Jewelthorne looked bored, as if75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3h7cYxn5x
he had been forced to be there. Valyrian looked at him with disgust while75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5WSQV1PAh
Whitesun, the one he knew the least, looked at him with interest. Mari looked75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVifk5EaeWu
at him with a small smile, as if she was telling him that everything was going75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytcyM4KoYU
to be alright. Despite her demeanor, he felt that it was going to be everything75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOmw4K4W2x
but.
“You know why you are here,75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue8RaRINpy
Vander, Blade Captain?” Cuvera’s voice echoed through the room.
“Yes.” Vander admitted. “I am75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTDpPUxRAw
accused of killing Malcolm and Jeffery Jilena.”
“Last night you were also seen75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLnIMeJcDN
fleeing from the northern district right before Humi, Humjir’s head priest, was75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRpV4Eptge
found dead.” Cuvera explained.
“Humi died?” Vander was75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLkR59jDEx
disappointed. He had hoped that the guards would have gotten there in time, but75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAVOE137Pd
he guessed wrong.
“What do you have to say for75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe9U3pdZKh
yourself?”
“Innocent on all accounts.” A75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9XSMVRWbe
collective gasp went up from the council members. Anna Jilena looked like her75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO14TpvGmVy
head was about to explode.
“I’ll give you a chance to tell75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwUGFdqPtO
your side of the story.” Cuvera said. “Explain to me how Lord Cranton saw you75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHbhjUKCm0
kill my father, us all watching you flee the room in a hurry, then finding75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1nD36sq1s
Jeffery Jilena dead on the ground with his throat cut.”
“I see.” Vander sighed. “Must we75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1gGhTDc5G
do this in front of them?” He motioned towards the council. “I’d rather just75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGutUa41iNB
talk to you alone.”
“So, you could kill him?” Peyton75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33EBc1fEMi
laughed. “I think not. You’re the criminal here, you don’t get special75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1vQtHfEJQ
treatment.” As much as he hated to admit it, Peyton was right. So, he told them75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5e6PkFO6V
what had happened.
He started by talking about what75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRmle7d0Uq
had happened in the catacombs when Cuvera went to visit his mother. Boar had75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsGqWaoN3I
come to him in a vision, telling him to grab the book on the gods that Malcolm75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTHaeY45GG
had shown him in his office. Not bothering to question his ancestor, Vander75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAebyBCDCR
waited until everyone was distracted before sneaking into the library and75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRdRFv3vqI
grabbing the book. Malcolm had seen him, but before either of them could say a75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaIb4kfcXk
word to each other Peyton had run him through with a sword.
Peyton didn’t even flinch when75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKaeuya9la
Vander pointed at him, and while some of the council members looked at him75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZGjlabax9
sideways, Vander could tell very few believed him.
After that, he ran away because he75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsd3DOazJe
knew Peyton would blame Vander for the deaths even though he had nothing to do75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jiv3zPcHD
with it. Jeffery had found him on the lawn but had asked Vander to knock him75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQKZZ4gAFz
out then escape. Vander punched him in the stomach before jumping against the75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiQ6HJ2szE
wall.
Topal whispered to the council75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4Fl6yJiQr
member next to him, but it was so quiet that Vander could hear what was being75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh395l4IFP7
said.
Vander continued. He fled to the75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEFkEXlSO0
Orange Fox because he knew the stigma surrounding the place would keep him safe75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijJ4ecFHCQ
while he could figure out what to do next. For three months he used the75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9kxdctcqU
resources available to him to track down and find the Serpents, however he75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ05C7lTjFt
didn’t go into too much detail. He killed seven of them, then discovered a note75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwZMWzdkyb
sending an assassin known as Fang after him. Afterwards he went to talk to Humi75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQxxjx7UHQ
when they were attacked by an assassin. He told Vander to flee while holding75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea5C051xFL
them off, but he guessed he didn’t last much longer after that.
“Then you found me two days75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0HQ2nxmJE
later.” Vander finished. “That’s all that happened.”
“Seems whoever you talk to just75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifmVa7RBb1
seems to be killed.” Peyton said. “There is a pattern here, Vander, I’m not75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxM4c3pWF9
sure if anyone else can see it, but I can.”
“I also agree with Peyton.” Anna75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P7SqUhTho
Jilena seethed. “My son is dead because of you. Your story of what happened is75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hGa74TMzE
nonsense. My son’s throat was cut, there no question there.”
“If I may.” Topal raised his hand.75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYB6uVNz5X
“When I did the autopsy of Jeffery, I noticed some discoloration around his75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzouZaQzhF7
diaphragm along with some bruising within his lungs. To me, it seemed as though75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1rfcG0tvN
he had been struck five minutes before his throat was cut. There also wasn’t a75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwZ9eGVN57
blood trail leading from the body to the wall.”
“He killed him!” Anna screeched.75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWgP0YIE4G
Bickering broke out amongst the council members causing Cuvera to stand up from75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEP0urB77l
the throne.
“Take him to the dungeons until we75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ALCIvJb9Y
get this settled.” Cuvera instructed. Bowing his head, Eric placed his hand on75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTOFwluQ97
Vander’s shoulders. Sighing, Vander stood up allowing himself to be led towards75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJFy4fIopF
the dungeons.
Before Eric handed him over to the75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTuR4E2BIC
jailers, he made Vander face him.
“My son, Jeffery, he respected you75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCPI7kNZFc
a lot.” He spoke. “For his sake, I hope your innocent.”

“I am.” Vander nodded. Perhaps75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIOYU7gbgg
taking some solace at that fact, Eric gave him a small smile. He snapped his75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0KLoplDjo
fingers. The two jailers walked up, grabbed Vander’s arms, and brought him to75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr502XzxYEC
his cell. They pushed him into the dank, musty flat that had rags for a blanket75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE125AiNpj
and very little warmth. The slammed the door shut, covering him in darkness.
