Chapter 11
The party was still in full swing89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFmzau1mmI
once Alex and Vander left the Inn. Shea had been waiting patiently and even89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIalJmzq0ne
Right and Left seemed sad to see her go. Alex didn’t say a word the entire trip89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cUId7vOhT
back into the Eastern District, even when they parted, he just headed towards89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzCh6QUfyl
the middle ring not even saying goodnight. He didn’t blame Alex, the first time89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIYPJNsnpk
he had gone to the warehouse and seen the pit wasn’t a happy experience either.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy7vFJ7KDl
The fact the King allowed something like this was even more of a surprise, but89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte6rZZ3xFB
it was above their pay grade to know why. However, there was one thing that89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpdAfp0Qi8
Ross had said that played over and over in his mind. There was a traitor within89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcmqyE6BvF
the Blades.
He didn’t know how Ross found that89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNxNG7lwc0
out, but he wasn’t one to disregard warnings, not if it had come from him. They89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Sedj7qS7
had done business in the past and in the beginning, he had been skeptical, but89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkUlgYCJeT
Ross’s warnings and advice almost always came true. He would be an idiot not to89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZZDVq0DkA
take the warning seriously, but for the life of him he couldn’t figure out who89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYucdazPGF
it could be. Guess if it was going to be easy, he wouldn’t have needed Ross to89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL1uSILoYc
tell him. He would have to discuss everything he had been told with his89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YtsKJ4vvm
grandfather, and the King, tomorrow. For now, he needed rest.
The Inn was quiet by the time the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm69hTcVJo
two of them arrived back. Not even Julianna the workaholic was awake, the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0itdqpjmE3
embers in the fireplace gave off little more than a slight glow. The two of89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdojcDAo3K
them slowly walked up the stairs being careful not to disturb the sleepers.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2mm2bn6Hw
When they got to their room, he pushed the door open, and Shea trotted inside.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx20JPWUjJ5
She sniffed around for a moment before jumping up on the bed, finding her spot,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM4eQBUfqC
then curling up into a ball. He followed suit shortly after, crawling under the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyUmu9Zi2o
covers and passing out almost immediately.
When he awoke, he knew he was89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6Ltd9pQwy
somewhere else. It was the cold air that surrounded him or the sight of weeping89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGkpihlgP0
cobblestone. No, it was the smell of rot and decay. Looking around he saw89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDidZnpJbQ
himself standing in a dimly lit chamber that was cylindrical. There were89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdA3O0fQG2
torches above his heads, and they were so close he could reach up and touch89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9F59qEAH0
them. Curiously, in the dead center of the room was a podium which was holding89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rGrLPq63m
a book. Walking over to it, he realized it was in a language he didn’t89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Hcjnz6yL
recognize. As he reached out to touch it, a cough woke him up from his trance.
“I wouldn’t touch that if I were89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCqCKwY6RN
you.” an elderly voice spoke. Facing the sound of the voice, Vander spotted89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKEo6qqW0G
an old man white long white hair chained to the wall. There was a slight89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ufFnlqUmZ
radiant aura coming from within the body, but it was weak, barely alive.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmrETSTegr
Instinctively he knew who it was even though it was hard to believe.
“Veyar.” Vander bowed his head89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0RRlQhgsf
before dropping down to one knee. “Are you the one who summoned me?” The89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSaYQGouVL
old man nodded his head. “Why? Where are we?”
“I do not know.” Veyar89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjsQTeNki1
admitted. Vander found that hard to believe. The father of all the deities knew89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSefMj6q2GE
everything, at least he was supposed to. “I was brought here unconscious, I89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFBCiJIAZw
had no idea I had even been taken until I woke up chained to these walls, my89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpxXjQuTVL
power stripped from my body.”
“Do you need me to free you?”89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAl2Vt9cDT
Vander asked. He suddenly felt very foolish as Veyar went through back his head89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkWN4afQc4
and laughed.
“There is nothing you can do for89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66x5ytDWvq
me here but thank you for offering.” The deity looked amused. “I have89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmyUs8iWZm
brought you here to deliver a warning. You are in great danger as is everyone89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxnJLL5UkV
around you. Keep hold of your secret, tell no one, or all will be lost.” Vander89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO6mAY1GQ6
was confused.
“Who is after me?” He asked.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzi7OnG28O
Veyar craned his head as if he were listening for someone.
“There is no time, he will be here89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3wQca86XO
soon.” He sounded afraid. “Beware the false sun, Vander. Beware.” Before he could ask anything else, Vander’s89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8m8iI0Kz1
sight went dark.
He bolted up out of bed dripping89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wpbOCmbUB
with sweat. Shea was still snoring next to him oblivious to what had happened89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OVv1bMNeF
during the night. He wouldn’t have believed it happened if he didn’t smell the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1ohvxljdn
power lingering in the air. Veyar was supposedly the strongest of the Deities,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYNVEAGtyh
his equal was Imitae, so how had he been captured and why couldn’t he escape? All89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJWNJfsfoj
these questions, but the one that mattered most was who was after him. He was89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzNl7JudN9
told to ‘beware the false sun’, it wasn’t much to go on. He would just have to89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKYjuCh8YY
file it away under ‘mysteries’ and leave it at that.
He swung his feet out from under89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph3uMHKylU
the covers placing them on the cool floor. Azta hasn’t risen yet, but the sky89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP8uhbm3EP
was turning a bright pink. He had only been asleep for a few hours, but despite89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvBLJiivnP
how he felt, he had work to do. Today was the day he was supposed to train the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC2TdMiqcQ
recruits. Hopefully Alex had got them ready, and they would be waiting for him89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0eezqwfAb
by the time he arrived at the castle grounds.
He left Shea sleeping on the bed.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxCoqGap6h
She didn’t like getting up early if she didn’t have to and Julianna would take89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oMxMpozIC
care of her while he was gone. He slipped on his uniform, clipped his sword to89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xejoFuJHi
his belt and left.
Dawn was the time of day when Unna89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopOEoFYNWm
was her weakest. Hunters, especially animals, were most active at night to89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzbOG3AHQe
hunt, fuck, and whatever it is they did during the night. It was now when89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4MjC2GORj
Vander was at his calmest, when her powers deep inside of him slumbered. He was89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj08mNNmTN9
capable of rational thought and not letting those powers cloud his judgement.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlz2E3onPl
This was also when he was at his weakest. Without the strength of her powers,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMxWTtGYxh
he was close to defenseless, which was all someone needed to take him out.
He was blindsided from the alley89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT67Db3pxx1
next to him. Someone grabbed him by the arm and threw him against the building.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbCSuX0Cd5
Vander brought his arm up to block the next strike, but it snaked past his guard89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8k29FRXdx
hitting him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, but that was short lived.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs9tmoWjTW
Someone wrenched his neck back and his arms were pulled behind him. He tried to89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKOn4vzkN5
stand, but someone kicked out his knees bringing him down.
“The hell do you want?” He hissed89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5y9briuGX
out in pain. He could smell three distinctive scents, but he had a feeling89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgidc9Nl2Rp
there were a couple of more where he couldn’t see them.
“Is this him?” Someone said, a89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD4slbJatG
woman. There was nothing distinct about her, not that he could tell with his89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKQ5qEWees
weakening powers.
“Not sure.” Someone said, a male89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS23aqnMzdj
this time. “I expected more of a fight from him. But he has the look we were89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡproMypiIle
told about.”
“Even if it’s not, kill him.” A89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg8ZiNQXku
third person said. “Better safe than sorry.” He heard a knife being drawn from89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyUTIUFZ0G
a sheath.
“Nothing personal.” The woman89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cGL4gNkga
said. Vander let out a deep guttural growl and lunged forward. Whoever was89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmL775Nqo2
holding his arms didn’t do a good job. He was startled by the sudden savagery89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXgcepNMxH
Vander showed that he didn’t keep a good grip allowing him to slip through. He89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbKGxCPbUw
attacked the woman in front of him, hitting her jaw, sending her sprawling89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrCYARQusz
backwards. As he suspected, two people jumped out from the shadows drawing89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vppxi6tve
wicked looking scimitars as Vander charged them. However, he was too quick. He89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuNz2Vyqe6
slammed the hilt of one back into the sheath then using the momentum to kick89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKW2OTyE6Q
the other one in the jaw knocked him unconscious. He landed behind the other89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJcCFv0Iie
one and drew a knife from his belt holding it against their throat.
“Who are you?” He shouted. He89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf7PjFrnTw
pressed the dagger against the assassin’s throat drawing blood with the edge.
“You ruined our plan.” Vander felt89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWhDY14N0H
as though the man he was holding was grinning. “Now you will pay.” The man89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0tv7nB2JW
grabbed Vander’s arm and pushed the knife deeper into his own neck. He gurgled89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlO44oZTG9
mouthfuls of blood before falling to his knees, dying. Vander quickly drew his89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWyWci6CiR
sword as three knives covered with poison flew headed straight for his chest.
He knocked two of the knives away,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMOSRlUisJ
spinning out into the darkness. The third he grabbed by the handle and threw it89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yTdrF8U7q
back at the sender. She yelled out with a scream and crumbled to the ground. One89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHbk9vAFJI
of the assassins drew their scimitar and lunged at him. Vander brought his89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPtpEgDpW3
weapon up to counter the strike. He parried and slashed, forcing the assailant89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB8QG1TWq9
on his back foot. The assailant lunged forward attempting to take Vander89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW69XBB50K
through the side, but he dodged sideways. The momentum carried the man into89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpTsGg9nta
range of Vander’s sword which decapitated him spraying blood everywhere.
“Then there were two.” Vander89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD1rTubAzW
smiled. He wiped the blood from his sword eyeing the man in front of him. He89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVoMIg1A5X
was tending to the woman who had the poisoned knife embedded in her arm. He89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuGD1XmbIM
crushed something in his hand then dripped it into her throat. Her face visibly89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwbuUcLqBn
relaxed as he ripped the knife from her arm.
“You are a lot stronger than we89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrROtncbkI
were told.” The man said, cradling the woman in his arms as he stood. “This is89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NMjbZosnD
your victory.” The man Vander had kicked slowly got to his feet. His breath was89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvS2YKcwBo
labored. He had likely broken a couple of ribs.
“You attack me, and you think I’ll89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDE1VlCsXq
let you go?” Vander laughed. “You’re sadly mistaken. You will die here, and I89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeVxKX0cfz
will take that girl with me for interrogation.” The man behind him rushed89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Pb5JIAa8
forward, grabbed Vander around the neck with his arm. Vander brought his arm89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM7L9wKERG
back, nailing him in his already broken ribs, causing him to cough up blood.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0mteMeF4E
However, he did not let go.
“Run, I’ll hold him back.” He spoke.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDSKI2Z8tp
The assassin nodded his head then jumped onto the windowsill of the building89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXHcY8nS7Q
next to us then crawled out of sight. Vander knew he could catch him, but he89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca7Wx4Put9
would have to get rid of this guy first.
“Get off me.” Vander snapped. He89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZT6jsLKoO
brought his head back crushing the nose of the assassin then he grabbed his89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy300Yjr5Lu
head then threw him overhead. His back slammed onto the ground and before he89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMNdISCATG
could rise, Vander nailed him in the jaw knocking him out. “Shit.” He had89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgFjBzeOuH
wasted too much time and in this current state he wouldn’t be able to chase the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JJgktXpID
two of them. So, he leaned up against the wall and waited for backup to arrive.
Someone must have called the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tx0vpQxb4
guards because they arrived ten minutes later, which allowed Vander to catch89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPwptizmfE
his breath and think about what had just happened. Based on the way they were89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYPMwU9xf7
talking; someone had put a hit out on him It seemed to be the same group that89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZwOWx1eF1
had killed Nigel after he had been discovered. There was no proof to that89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGJW488Ux3
claim, but based on the fact they were using the same style of weapons, including89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pVAYFLnHw
poison, and their style seemed to be ambush, it was likely them. However, were89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95ukbblsss
they Green Serpents or another group entirely? He would have to wait for89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX9hW8sb4w
sleeping beauty to wake up first, but before that. He opened the unconscious89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpIUa4SLmh
assassin’s mouth and rooted around until he found what he was looking for. He89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HIZ2jYV8m
ripped out a fake tooth with a poison capsule hiding inside.
Assassins were89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2EMy0M3rI
all the same.
“Sir?” Vander looked up to see89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr9SHaHR1j
Jeffery Jilena standing there surrounded by other soldiers. “The hell happened89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtlQatpHND
here?” The sun had come up and was about halfway to noon which meant he had89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRQ9jGxN9r
been sitting here for hours. In his daze he wouldn’t have noticed if the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpbuiM1buM
assassin had escaped, but he was lucky he was still out like a light.
“An assassination attempt.” Vander89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0M7FPtJG1
accepted the hand the young Captain held out for him, helping him up to his89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDZW2tw8Lg
feet. “I got three of them, but two of them escaped. I would have followed89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzwnQwNcXx
them, but I haven’t had a solid rest in days and I’m weakest at dawn.”
“You did enough.” Jeffery nodded.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsFMc0D1Zg
He walked over to the still breathing assassin then bent down to check him out.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRvN1pB6VU
“This one is still alive.”
“Bring him to the dungeons.”89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1UyQeat05
Vander smirked. “I want to interrogate him myself. And bring this to Doctor89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhysTLzV2un
Lohsyn.” He dropped the capsule into Jeffery’s hand. “Don’t let anyone eat it89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6iJ8wMvgU
or drop it. I need to know what it’s made from.”
“I will handle it myself.” Jeffery89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimFA7ukDPg
clutched it to his chest and bowed his head. “You two.” He turned and snapped89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCziwv1F4l
at two of the soldiers standing nearby. “Take this man to the dungeons. Give89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVxDQsN4MG
him food and water, but nothing else. Chain him, make sure he can’t even piss89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kuPObKuhW
without help. Am I clear?”
“Yes sir!” the two guards saluted.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWMz4nkz2A
They picked up the unconscious assassin and hauled him away. Jeffery had two89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aQVNDRzag
other guards follow just incase the man tried to make a break for it. The other89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelrVShMLet
bodies would be sent to Lohsyn as well for an autopsy. After dealing with all89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4NqV9KOtG
those details, he headed towards the castle.
The castle was finishing up the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvbnx8rJ9O
decorations for the prince’s arrival and it looked stunning. The windows were89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk76UnLiMnA
draped with blues and reds to represent both countries and people. Bernard really89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC6IjJxU0V
took his job seriously. Vander walked past the man and into the castle. A few89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvgrcY2rmo
minutes later he was standing in front of the King’s door and knocked.
“Come in.” The King’s voice89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUJa3q36qg
boomed. Vander turned the knob and headed inside.
Malcolm was at his desk looking89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FOjLbGD16
over some papers. He was wearing a blue collared shirt that was unbuttoned showing89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DE1j1JMDH
off the upper part of his chest. There was a gold chain hanging around his neck89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uZ1yJOPYK
with a sapphire gemstone hanging from it. His black rimmed glasses slid down89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRlGqhzZNH
his nose, resting just above the fall.
“You look like shit Vander.”89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XfIjxbxE9
Malcolm stood up motioning towards the seat in front of him. “Is that blood on89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgffCf0fLA
you?”
“It’s been a rough morning.”89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE3Yn20XTT
Vander shed his jacket then hung it up by the door. He didn’t want to get blood89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34StDLGv94
on the carpet. “Jumped by a couple of assassins on my way to train my recruits.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMNbvOlpra
Kill two, knocked out one, and two escaped.”
“Do you wish to be seen by Topal?”89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenwH8VbBpg
Malcolm asked.
“I really just want to fucking89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp9W8sK0JL
sleep.” His eyes grew heavy.
“Rest here, no one will bother89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2WOAjo8Vf
you.” The King smiled. “The couch is very comfortable. Much better than the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TGOwETBU2
chair.”
“I’ll rest in a moment.” Vander89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI73xDsQVT
sighed. “I came here to tell you about my meeting with my source. He gave me89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVPvKHSIie
the name of the organization who poisoned you. The Green Serpents.” Upon89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbvH4LKmSJ
hearing the name, Malcolm froze.
“Are you sure that’s what he89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O1ZbVH5bh
said?”
“Yea,” Vander nodded. “Ross is89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuwC9HP5Qn
trustworthy, his advice has never let me down before.”
“Shit.” Vander was shocked, he had89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhDpb74mqN
never heard the King curse before. He got up from his desk and went to stand by89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThmAmuYYrU
the window. Despite being in a coma for months, he seemed to be quite healthy.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rdXHVjxWw
He couldn’t help but wonder where all that stamina came from.
“Are you alright?” Vander asked.
“If it’s the Serpents we are in89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9ilG6QJxh
trouble.” The King ran his fingers through his hair. “I will have to talk to89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybxZvhGwWB
Peyton and your grandfather before saying anything else.” He turned around to89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP1hEUSfXW
look at Vander. “I just received word that Warden Drayson will be here later89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEXJuv9G6n
this afternoon. We will have her forces and some of our back to beef up89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt9gaifBIU
security. I want you to oversee protection.”
“Are you sure?” Vander asked. “I89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD0OQYEaaG
don’t think I’m experienced enough for something like that.”
“I trust you as does your89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX36ly9dcTV
grandfather.” Malcolm smiled. “You’ll do fine. Is there anything else I should89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVJ1jCIePA
know?”
“Ross can help me find where the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqYkgXBG6x
Serpents are hiding.” Vander sighed. “But the price is steep, it can’t be paid89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc7KAMBlPC
with money.”
“I trust your judgement.” Malcolm89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBdbKOqcqq
walked over then squeezed Vander’s shoulder. “Now get some rest. I’ll wake you89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1Osr4mS1F
when it’s time.” Nodding his appreciation, Vander headed towards the couch89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZV0Uq1FTK
where he promptly passed out.
