Chapter 11
The party was still in full swing125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboxr6ri9pL
once Alex and Vander left the Inn. Shea had been waiting patiently and even125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyQAuNxwvR
Right and Left seemed sad to see her go. Alex didn’t say a word the entire trip125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qBrye2qKk
back into the Eastern District, even when they parted, he just headed towards125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcQTJOJdrE
the middle ring not even saying goodnight. He didn’t blame Alex, the first time125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8BVgRfICk
he had gone to the warehouse and seen the pit wasn’t a happy experience either.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO51apdFqXe
The fact the King allowed something like this was even more of a surprise, but125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL0HZvnDHf
it was above their pay grade to know why. However, there was one thing that125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GD7wbphhg
Ross had said that played over and over in his mind. There was a traitor within125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v8YeOoA9L
the Blades.
He didn’t know how Ross found that125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizlJ8X5OhG
out, but he wasn’t one to disregard warnings, not if it had come from him. They125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNTW0iDn62
had done business in the past and in the beginning, he had been skeptical, but125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcQad9zaYy
Ross’s warnings and advice almost always came true. He would be an idiot not to125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNjzNtk36y
take the warning seriously, but for the life of him he couldn’t figure out who125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FjRCa0D17
it could be. Guess if it was going to be easy, he wouldn’t have needed Ross to125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9HLc35DeN
tell him. He would have to discuss everything he had been told with his125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iXctPVYVc
grandfather, and the King, tomorrow. For now, he needed rest.
The Inn was quiet by the time the125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn09Iw7mDc
two of them arrived back. Not even Julianna the workaholic was awake, the125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqBs6FmoYR
embers in the fireplace gave off little more than a slight glow. The two of125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YlkDsUHDm
them slowly walked up the stairs being careful not to disturb the sleepers.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvvAW88ZE4
When they got to their room, he pushed the door open, and Shea trotted inside.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedUV0fnGnE
She sniffed around for a moment before jumping up on the bed, finding her spot,125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kXvd96JN8
then curling up into a ball. He followed suit shortly after, crawling under the125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCOILOvnyN
covers and passing out almost immediately.
When he awoke, he knew he was125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvykEMxIlUB
somewhere else. It was the cold air that surrounded him or the sight of weeping125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYHES8AB7S
cobblestone. No, it was the smell of rot and decay. Looking around he saw125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgbkZ1wgY7
himself standing in a dimly lit chamber that was cylindrical. There were125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vRprGuAGD
torches above his heads, and they were so close he could reach up and touch125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg3BZopa0x
them. Curiously, in the dead center of the room was a podium which was holding125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoo1lZbGsF
a book. Walking over to it, he realized it was in a language he didn’t125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQtPx18TJ4
recognize. As he reached out to touch it, a cough woke him up from his trance.
“I wouldn’t touch that if I were125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w8FrbRGJR
you.” an elderly voice spoke. Facing the sound of the voice, Vander spotted125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5XEHECuda
an old man white long white hair chained to the wall. There was a slight125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mWyH4nJJ6
radiant aura coming from within the body, but it was weak, barely alive.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmZY9HXTdF
Instinctively he knew who it was even though it was hard to believe.
“Veyar.” Vander bowed his head125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb0r5DuvZ6
before dropping down to one knee. “Are you the one who summoned me?” The125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsa8ThqOiz
old man nodded his head. “Why? Where are we?”
“I do not know.” Veyar125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K5PJMCpsv
admitted. Vander found that hard to believe. The father of all the deities knew125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZelPDoZCyT
everything, at least he was supposed to. “I was brought here unconscious, I125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AKOKZSZ4o
had no idea I had even been taken until I woke up chained to these walls, my125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qx8Jv46mh
power stripped from my body.”
“Do you need me to free you?”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ1dFP4q5n
Vander asked. He suddenly felt very foolish as Veyar went through back his head125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKkEjMav66
and laughed.
“There is nothing you can do for125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbYoEyQh34
me here but thank you for offering.” The deity looked amused. “I have125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DW621apom
brought you here to deliver a warning. You are in great danger as is everyone125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdfKB4hMxs
around you. Keep hold of your secret, tell no one, or all will be lost.” Vander125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN2y72BUTV
was confused.
“Who is after me?” He asked.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TJ5JiOkDW
Veyar craned his head as if he were listening for someone.
“There is no time, he will be here125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1ri7zGHqV
soon.” He sounded afraid. “Beware the false sun, Vander. Beware.” Before he could ask anything else, Vander’s125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOfHkuEjSE
sight went dark.
He bolted up out of bed dripping125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsZepMzUVm
with sweat. Shea was still snoring next to him oblivious to what had happened125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs7zcB4g6B
during the night. He wouldn’t have believed it happened if he didn’t smell the125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ye7tp1oyP
power lingering in the air. Veyar was supposedly the strongest of the Deities,125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS7AaOX61w
his equal was Imitae, so how had he been captured and why couldn’t he escape? All125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PLgYXWrLU
these questions, but the one that mattered most was who was after him. He was125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1K0sT4zh6
told to ‘beware the false sun’, it wasn’t much to go on. He would just have to125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFh8BCEABq
file it away under ‘mysteries’ and leave it at that.
He swung his feet out from under125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNJQMR6EXQ
the covers placing them on the cool floor. Azta hasn’t risen yet, but the sky125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndY6W9jbcL
was turning a bright pink. He had only been asleep for a few hours, but despite125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrAhQzpVIO
how he felt, he had work to do. Today was the day he was supposed to train the125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JbRo0CVpL
recruits. Hopefully Alex had got them ready, and they would be waiting for him125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwUMJlFYAR
by the time he arrived at the castle grounds.
He left Shea sleeping on the bed.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7XEBF22og
She didn’t like getting up early if she didn’t have to and Julianna would take125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgis8tyffnB
care of her while he was gone. He slipped on his uniform, clipped his sword to125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEqH6yLVm5
his belt and left.
Dawn was the time of day when Unna125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbyVhvXwaA
was her weakest. Hunters, especially animals, were most active at night to125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ODdKKh1Ez
hunt, fuck, and whatever it is they did during the night. It was now when125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46e5ZGrY8D
Vander was at his calmest, when her powers deep inside of him slumbered. He was125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehILwEDTzn
capable of rational thought and not letting those powers cloud his judgement.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihyA4twHUO
This was also when he was at his weakest. Without the strength of her powers,125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkCrb1b9Zy
he was close to defenseless, which was all someone needed to take him out.
He was blindsided from the alley125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd56Z9Kn7G
next to him. Someone grabbed him by the arm and threw him against the building.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Bedo78xO
Vander brought his arm up to block the next strike, but it snaked past his guard125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBEfhQ8g9E
hitting him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, but that was short lived.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApiqDN6qD5
Someone wrenched his neck back and his arms were pulled behind him. He tried to125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYsNdJLOlG
stand, but someone kicked out his knees bringing him down.
“The hell do you want?” He hissed125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGf9KJ4Fof
out in pain. He could smell three distinctive scents, but he had a feeling125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XOm0blnQ2
there were a couple of more where he couldn’t see them.
“Is this him?” Someone said, a125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiELhmac17
woman. There was nothing distinct about her, not that he could tell with his125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGs9qebIF5
weakening powers.
“Not sure.” Someone said, a male125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dY778ATcl
this time. “I expected more of a fight from him. But he has the look we were125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82aLTUTvgw
told about.”
“Even if it’s not, kill him.” A125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDqyT8Q59g
third person said. “Better safe than sorry.” He heard a knife being drawn from125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerB7cMKOES
a sheath.
“Nothing personal.” The woman125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWBtQGkXdH
said. Vander let out a deep guttural growl and lunged forward. Whoever was125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPbsXVi9Gc
holding his arms didn’t do a good job. He was startled by the sudden savagery125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCGNlOoHye
Vander showed that he didn’t keep a good grip allowing him to slip through. He125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh1aMiCClt
attacked the woman in front of him, hitting her jaw, sending her sprawling125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjSP6ChO1d
backwards. As he suspected, two people jumped out from the shadows drawing125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8q6lt8mYw
wicked looking scimitars as Vander charged them. However, he was too quick. He125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04BFcCRplJ
slammed the hilt of one back into the sheath then using the momentum to kick125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkkQk02FvW
the other one in the jaw knocked him unconscious. He landed behind the other125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhEJSghvTE
one and drew a knife from his belt holding it against their throat.
“Who are you?” He shouted. He125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZbu684nsN
pressed the dagger against the assassin’s throat drawing blood with the edge.
“You ruined our plan.” Vander felt125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefImDYmCFI
as though the man he was holding was grinning. “Now you will pay.” The man125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0x0Ns2FWM
grabbed Vander’s arm and pushed the knife deeper into his own neck. He gurgled125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Y4aomDtA
mouthfuls of blood before falling to his knees, dying. Vander quickly drew his125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeARpazEsGm
sword as three knives covered with poison flew headed straight for his chest.
He knocked two of the knives away,125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVX5szPBWI
spinning out into the darkness. The third he grabbed by the handle and threw it125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9knNrKmT2G
back at the sender. She yelled out with a scream and crumbled to the ground. One125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24RfyiCuhx
of the assassins drew their scimitar and lunged at him. Vander brought his125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D7lYYiczh
weapon up to counter the strike. He parried and slashed, forcing the assailant125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5LWKuRd8k
on his back foot. The assailant lunged forward attempting to take Vander125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKDuzDzDFz
through the side, but he dodged sideways. The momentum carried the man into125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtTxtmocgZ
range of Vander’s sword which decapitated him spraying blood everywhere.
“Then there were two.” Vander125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnVlEwKOTP
smiled. He wiped the blood from his sword eyeing the man in front of him. He125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UeV5eZwt6
was tending to the woman who had the poisoned knife embedded in her arm. He125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKqhiNkFI6
crushed something in his hand then dripped it into her throat. Her face visibly125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IU1Dl82dz
relaxed as he ripped the knife from her arm.
“You are a lot stronger than we125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCvH8lnT2N
were told.” The man said, cradling the woman in his arms as he stood. “This is125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDvZ1Zrzjs
your victory.” The man Vander had kicked slowly got to his feet. His breath was125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrCLyco3Nz
labored. He had likely broken a couple of ribs.
“You attack me, and you think I’ll125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkNKhfJdTR
let you go?” Vander laughed. “You’re sadly mistaken. You will die here, and I125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2xH9HmwRc
will take that girl with me for interrogation.” The man behind him rushed125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0yMNtBVNA
forward, grabbed Vander around the neck with his arm. Vander brought his arm125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0OTMd6EJZ
back, nailing him in his already broken ribs, causing him to cough up blood.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekeQMltE2S
However, he did not let go.
“Run, I’ll hold him back.” He spoke.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EchPLa9We
The assassin nodded his head then jumped onto the windowsill of the building125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqDtbP5YGl
next to us then crawled out of sight. Vander knew he could catch him, but he125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsrQ9Si0m7
would have to get rid of this guy first.
“Get off me.” Vander snapped. He125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjv8u2cqa2
brought his head back crushing the nose of the assassin then he grabbed his125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnGPIYYm9h
head then threw him overhead. His back slammed onto the ground and before he125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSZIKp4qWA
could rise, Vander nailed him in the jaw knocking him out. “Shit.” He had125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFA4bbPbMK
wasted too much time and in this current state he wouldn’t be able to chase the125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcq96YCDvs
two of them. So, he leaned up against the wall and waited for backup to arrive.
Someone must have called the125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNG813MY9l
guards because they arrived ten minutes later, which allowed Vander to catch125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJolSrhuTW
his breath and think about what had just happened. Based on the way they were125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhnVTiMhGG
talking; someone had put a hit out on him It seemed to be the same group that125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqLdWA939E
had killed Nigel after he had been discovered. There was no proof to that125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4juNA4M4J
claim, but based on the fact they were using the same style of weapons, including125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJhP6HUvmG
poison, and their style seemed to be ambush, it was likely them. However, were125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA6KwKhWGH
they Green Serpents or another group entirely? He would have to wait for125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72Smm6aqej
sleeping beauty to wake up first, but before that. He opened the unconscious125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIFicBkUni
assassin’s mouth and rooted around until he found what he was looking for. He125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2pkDoCD8Q
ripped out a fake tooth with a poison capsule hiding inside.
Assassins were125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxbbWPRgZC
all the same.
“Sir?” Vander looked up to see125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDsdOvsTZH
Jeffery Jilena standing there surrounded by other soldiers. “The hell happened125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuh8HDl8J9
here?” The sun had come up and was about halfway to noon which meant he had125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvCIydZzHf
been sitting here for hours. In his daze he wouldn’t have noticed if the125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoxEMPMCGF
assassin had escaped, but he was lucky he was still out like a light.
“An assassination attempt.” Vander125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgYKzqGPLp
accepted the hand the young Captain held out for him, helping him up to his125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKWkluJ4rn
feet. “I got three of them, but two of them escaped. I would have followed125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9AYJmVLXb
them, but I haven’t had a solid rest in days and I’m weakest at dawn.”
“You did enough.” Jeffery nodded.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqFlm2S4aL
He walked over to the still breathing assassin then bent down to check him out.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrgIF6h07I
“This one is still alive.”
“Bring him to the dungeons.”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlF31ivRY8
Vander smirked. “I want to interrogate him myself. And bring this to Doctor125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcs6IbGKCa
Lohsyn.” He dropped the capsule into Jeffery’s hand. “Don’t let anyone eat it125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN4T4qQYDN
or drop it. I need to know what it’s made from.”
“I will handle it myself.” Jeffery125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRi9sJfXjr
clutched it to his chest and bowed his head. “You two.” He turned and snapped125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZXCPiVicQ
at two of the soldiers standing nearby. “Take this man to the dungeons. Give125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg5mT0uavu
him food and water, but nothing else. Chain him, make sure he can’t even piss125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3QDcdloF7
without help. Am I clear?”
“Yes sir!” the two guards saluted.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxfv7zBU4d
They picked up the unconscious assassin and hauled him away. Jeffery had two125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEch8E5GdtT
other guards follow just incase the man tried to make a break for it. The other125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NY6OPRZOI
bodies would be sent to Lohsyn as well for an autopsy. After dealing with all125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPynZpwiVdH
those details, he headed towards the castle.
The castle was finishing up the125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa62gGBmbR
decorations for the prince’s arrival and it looked stunning. The windows were125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouU7RdfXHV
draped with blues and reds to represent both countries and people. Bernard really125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5LMTmjFd8
took his job seriously. Vander walked past the man and into the castle. A few125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVLfhASr7F
minutes later he was standing in front of the King’s door and knocked.
“Come in.” The King’s voice125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9i6l3GDke
boomed. Vander turned the knob and headed inside.
Malcolm was at his desk looking125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR1ON8JlCs
over some papers. He was wearing a blue collared shirt that was unbuttoned showing125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmj24WK0Fa
off the upper part of his chest. There was a gold chain hanging around his neck125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUsbyLPTNi
with a sapphire gemstone hanging from it. His black rimmed glasses slid down125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sDn8CeUX3
his nose, resting just above the fall.
“You look like shit Vander.”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xwyXfKYIW
Malcolm stood up motioning towards the seat in front of him. “Is that blood on125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP636mnfEg
you?”
“It’s been a rough morning.”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE6hgBopl7
Vander shed his jacket then hung it up by the door. He didn’t want to get blood125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR0kO50moH
on the carpet. “Jumped by a couple of assassins on my way to train my recruits.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpXc6L5h6V
Kill two, knocked out one, and two escaped.”
“Do you wish to be seen by Topal?”125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVMrBIJuIZ
Malcolm asked.
“I really just want to fucking125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ5yqynCCu
sleep.” His eyes grew heavy.
“Rest here, no one will bother125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TREU9EIBq
you.” The King smiled. “The couch is very comfortable. Much better than the125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdur3jf5uGn
chair.”
“I’ll rest in a moment.” Vander125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaAQxj5ghk
sighed. “I came here to tell you about my meeting with my source. He gave me125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AtQFfBqlQ
the name of the organization who poisoned you. The Green Serpents.” Upon125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YROobDwwN
hearing the name, Malcolm froze.
“Are you sure that’s what he125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIBufnYhjY
said?”
“Yea,” Vander nodded. “Ross is125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9FAAcTIYh
trustworthy, his advice has never let me down before.”
“Shit.” Vander was shocked, he had125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mmkl3jgjW
never heard the King curse before. He got up from his desk and went to stand by125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fjqRrI53l
the window. Despite being in a coma for months, he seemed to be quite healthy.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJS7dSucrs
He couldn’t help but wonder where all that stamina came from.
“Are you alright?” Vander asked.
“If it’s the Serpents we are in125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlA5ZGDmWo
trouble.” The King ran his fingers through his hair. “I will have to talk to125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqydvjIlfH
Peyton and your grandfather before saying anything else.” He turned around to125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhv0Ro96ZP
look at Vander. “I just received word that Warden Drayson will be here later125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKiGTFV5OQ
this afternoon. We will have her forces and some of our back to beef up125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3JjCk4LNZ
security. I want you to oversee protection.”
“Are you sure?” Vander asked. “I125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUGnI4khHI
don’t think I’m experienced enough for something like that.”
“I trust you as does your125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkkzX6BwXE
grandfather.” Malcolm smiled. “You’ll do fine. Is there anything else I should125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcza4kM07H4
know?”
“Ross can help me find where the125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MBuPAbHR3
Serpents are hiding.” Vander sighed. “But the price is steep, it can’t be paid125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SO7ih1jI9
with money.”
“I trust your judgement.” Malcolm125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvugrTUPntY
walked over then squeezed Vander’s shoulder. “Now get some rest. I’ll wake you125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLVXewxDjw
when it’s time.” Nodding his appreciation, Vander headed towards the couch125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ907CuyrnZP
where he promptly passed out.
