Chapter 13
After the unnerving meeting with99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG6uWsM4bs
Veyar, again, Vander tucked Mari into her bed and quietly left so he didn’t99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ4U4sCNLG
disturb anyone in the apartment. Once he arrived at the bottom of the steps,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucYwQNjXV6
her guards handed him back his sword while the Blades bowed to both him and99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR81Rm9KH5y
Shea. Then he headed back to his old room.
He hated that he was now99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvByFZu8d2
practically confined to the castle, but he knew it came from a place of care.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt2fCuwS7N
This was the second time in as many weeks he had been attacked, and even though99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYTfvHe17Q
he hadn’t been harmed this time, the fact that he had been so blatantly99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYMCmjaU4e
targeted meant he was in danger no matter what. He was lucky to have Alex99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv9QoMmKLv
watching his back, but if the assassins were smart, they would wait until he99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqow17Fd89
was alone during the festivities to celebrate the prince’s marriage while99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SMdyu10T2
everyone was distracted. It’s what he would do. But for now, he had to focus on99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDot6h1KGqz
getting the recruits ready. Despite what his grandfather thought, they were99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeKIMJZDGE
better off being used rather than left to the side. If things were going the99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqhIH5Qj6x
way he expected they would, they would have to be ready sooner rather than99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL9WH1hTuM
later.
The five recruits stood in front99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnn36Voivo
of him, each admiring the new swords he had given to them from the Blade99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJkXh3R94c
armory. They would be the exact swords they would be given upon graduating, but99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AJZ0AmPi3
Vander had gone to Charles early in the morning, shortly before meeting them99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYjIrzKZT9
for the training session and begged him to allow them to train with their99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXngJuTuPR
actual swords just in case. They argued for a little while before the older man99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmragMNA8c
finally relented under the condition that he come to see how they were doing.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCuVafPosj
Vander agreed and now Charles was standing between him and Alex looking the99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfwqwNhQgw
recruits over with a critical eye.
“These swords will be your99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hz4Qnm3az
livelihood.” Vander instructed as he paced in front of the recruits as they99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHblE2rR1c
stared down at their weapons with a mixture of awe and fear. “They are made99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22WIR33OnR
with viriuum from the Northern Mountains. They will not bend; they will not99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz683CShj9
break. They were created with your abilities in mind, they are an extension of99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv0pHqCFHg
you and need to be treated with respect.”
“I thought we were supposed to get99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzT4LyH5TP
these only when we became full Blades.” Rooster asked. “Or, at the very least,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlwbNJ60BR
trainees, why do we have them now?”
“Circumstances may allow you to be99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtaaBgBPIV
graduated early.” Charles stepped up. “You’ve heard about the attacks on the99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW4ECNdKHd
castle and in the city. You might be needed early than originally planned, but99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1pWL2xerd
first you must prove to me you deserve the chance.” Forest and Briar grinned99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmADnBXVicv
like a couple of idiots.
“What do we have to do?” They99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv0wb6oiDg
asked in unison. To everyone’s surprise, aside from Vander’s, Charles unbuckled99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdC2c1pEyD
his sword then tossed it to Alex.
“You will have to99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xzp77rouS
fight against me.” Then he removed his jacket and tossed it to Vander. Despite99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru7DL5eMQu
how old he was, he was still an absolute unit of a man. His arms were thick99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrblNOO9TbQ
from his years of fighting and training recruits as well as having the99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME3fSR8exk
knowledge of fighting packed into his head. Despite all the times Vander had99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX35EkcbKS
challenged him since he was old enough to wear the uniform, he had never beaten99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD88gj2XjfE
him, not once.
“One at a time or99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3XWtZWR8r
altogether?” Rooster asked.
“However, you99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0kVww8kvE
want.” Charles grinned. “Weapons are allowed, so just try and make this99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHYioJnO0k
entertaining for me.” The recruits emboldened by the challenge rose to their99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq0RlhVELP
feet.
Forever the good99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI7OjWEl5I
sport, Rooster sheathed his sword, carefully placing his jacket on the ground99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVivypzs5Zu
and putting the sword on top. He stretched for a second before charging at his99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfKn8Hm4py
Commander. He threw his weight around Charles’s middle to get him onto his99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVxgPwFH3x
back, but Charles stood his ground. He brought his fists up then hammered them99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ltC8ThKO6
down in Rooster’s back. When his grip weakened, Charles brought his knee up99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZBlzyRnbk
into Rooster’s stomach then flipped him around, so he hit the ground hard. He99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1ojp3M2cS
went to stamp down on Rooster’s stomach, but he rolled away.
Rooster had taken99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZWVyf9dCg
damage, that much was certain. He staggered back to his feet then spit out a99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVcgH0lDLv
wad of blood. Grinning, he raised his fists in front of him, but Vander could99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fs2wjs7YA
tell he didn’t have much left in him. His legs were shaking, and it was taking99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgL1hFaENC
all his energy just to stand. However, he should have stayed down. Charles99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmskypkZHy
didn’t go easy on anyone; Vander knew that firsthand. Charles didn’t hesitate.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFoHxfzPMi
He began throwing punch after punch at Rooster. At first, he did a good job99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QDvyMEFSP
blocking, but it was like defending against a hammer. His arms became heavy,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw18xSgvoz
and he could no longer block many of the blows. He started taking strikes to99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bzx4ptq22
his face and chest. Rooster’s eyes rolled to the back of his head, but he99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMNmGE05pX
stayed standing. Charles threw another punch but once he noticed Rooster’s99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGJPwVELII
condition, he stopped. A second later he99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwduTvOUW2R
fell to the ground unconscious.
Charles didn’t99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s9c7UOd5C
look bothered by beating up a recruit, but based on the admiration in his eye,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp80QNhiQO
Rooster passed. That just left the other four. As usual, Forest and Briar99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg2G8QLzLG
decided to go after him together. Their teamwork has been a lot better since99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98NufvGLv1
their trail in the forest, but they would still be no match for Charles.
They went after99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfFcoJ314n
him, one on each side. Both aimed a punch to his cheek, but he blocked them,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IZmAzhr2i
then grabbed their wrists and pulled them into each other. Their bodies99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBRJdEQO1P
collided with a painful crack. They fell to the ground rubbing their heads99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iVzVzZkeP
together. They didn’t stay down for long, they again got up and began99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0d1Vd6vVJ
assaulting him, but Charles started to move. He made sure to keep himself away99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBmkUtBhaS
from the two of them, always moving his body so they would get in each other’s99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BS6e3tJCk
way. They got so used to his movements that when he stopped, they kept going.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTdrn4Uu12
Charles aimed a kick at Forest’s side which he wasn’t kick enough to move out99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXkhuigIPW
of the way. He brought his arm up to block, but the kick was too forceful.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5pQICdAk1
Forest collided with Briar and Vander was sure his arm was broken. The two of99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5VSAyIDOC
them didn’t get back up.
Charles didn’t99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JhluQFvlU
have time to see If they were alright. Eve came at him with her sword99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl4JEqo7yK
unsheathed. He slowly dodged sideways the sword trimmed off a couple of hairs99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp8Hf4Wab8
from his head. Not skipping a beat, once she realized she had missed, he turned99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvUia0dKoE
the blade and went for a horizontal slash aiming for his chest. He blocked the99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKfUbdcq7D
strike with his armored boot then slammed it onto the ground. If it was any99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYDBdCj0ez
other metal, it would have snapped in half. She let go of the hilt to throw a99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q1KmovgpS
punch which he easily blocked. He countered by punching her in the jaw,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGaONyVHx5
knocking her unconscious.
Vander frowned as99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrtVul3rU4
he looked at her body. She had lost so easily, but it had also been slobby.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVBCnbH89a
During training in the woods, she was a much better fighter than she showed99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQogslDFzvV
just now. Was he just blinded or had she intentionally thrown the match with99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkr3YPpsQY
the commander?
Charles got up99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uHAbIAERw
and looked over at Chicken who held his gaze. “And what do you have for me?” he99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqWxpc3uTD
asked her.
“I’m not much of99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL3EhfsnU5
a fighter.” She rubbed the back of her head.
“Then what use99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopLDsvbnjB
are you to me?” he asked. If she was offended by the question she didn’t show99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaTSSy8ffp
it.
“I have a perfect99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJE8CfZMuU
recall and excellent head for tactics.” She explained. “What I could do in the99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdTKgWGMvY
battle is negligible as to what I can do when it comes to planning.” Charles99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqZ4wOPmt2
folded his arms and looked down at her thoughtfully. Then he proceeded to ask99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReuNu8ru2b
her questions ranging from military history all the way to tactics and what she99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujhRYS1ZPB
would do in any given situation. If anything, that battle was more tense than99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzCL8sMQux
the three he just had with the others. Vander couldn’t even keep track of what99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpT2LliZXh
was being said. It took a few more minutes before Charles seemed to have been99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7ITUnpNEG
satisfied and came back to collect both his sword and jacket.
“They learned99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vqAsvcWXf
quickly these past six months.” Charles said. “Very well, I agree to them99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzWaN2SJe2
becoming trainees, however, make sure that one knows how to fight.” He hooked a99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUvyJJIWRb
thumb back towards Chicken who had gone over to check on her brother. “Every99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvt7sItgec
Blade must know, even if she spends her time as an advisor. No exceptions.”
“Yes sir.” Vander99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufiH576CjP
bowed.
“I also received99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52Me0QYjGQ
news that the rest of the Warden’s will be arriving today. I want them properly99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKxGgRtOiX
dressed and standing behind you once we greet them.”
“It will be99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1u1OwABqD
done.” Satisfied, Charles left heading back towards the castle.
∙
It took about99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaaYjQQpq7
thirty minutes for the recruits to awaken after the beating they took at99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e1b1hnvYe
Charles’ hands. Vander quickly checked them for damage, but Charles was precise99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZFkb6vVsw
in his fighting. Aside from a few bruised ribs and sore stomachs, they were all99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QGUlNHoks
fine. Once he told them they had passed, they all celebrated by dancing around99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5ulIkqLOn
and slapping each other on their backs, their pain long forgotten. Vander was99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmvPYXw5RB
even more surprised that Chicken passed even with her penchant for books99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqI3LxVrOd
instead of fighting. He had told her what the Commander had told him, and she99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MPMhLyCCr
agreed that she had to become better at fighting. She asked for more lessons99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT60xfFhG0K
and Alex agreed. He would be the one to train her. With that done he sent them99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yZbD9XLjM
to the dorms so they could get ready for the Warden’s arrival.
He quickly99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcevDawpDg
showered then got changed in his dress uniform. His pants were ironed and99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy06ZNK8lTA
waiting from when he arrived back. His jacket was neatly pressed with the99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVsv690qHH
creases worked out of it. In a small display container were all the medals he99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mpcnW5qak
had received since joining and they had to be properly pinned on the jacket. It99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2hGLr8cUB
was a lot of work for a couple of hours, but it had to be done or it would99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdYedkaTrg
reflect badly upon the King and his grandfather.
He put on his99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXT0TT1SfE
pants followed by a blue dress shirt then he sat down to polish his boots. Shea99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6llkcKOYJI
sat on the bed watching all of this unfold when her head on top of her paws.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBM0xNw6Fv
Once his boots were right he placed them on and tied them tightly. He turned99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnnS6aSub8
back to Shea.
“Get down here99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qXVwtDCMB
so I can brush your fur.”
“I don’t want99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDW2Zit0Jt
to go.” She whined.
“You have to.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbawDjAjWon
He chided. “You are a Blade, and we are all expected to go. You can sit99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IPDHqc7nz
behind me if you wish, but you will be there. Now get down here.” She99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M7nAd2cNY
glared over at him but did as he asked. She sat down in-between his legs as he99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xgJIylOdy
picked up the brush and oil then began combing her. She stayed still for it,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV6ysMyYHB
but when he came to a knot she let her displeasure known with a low growl. He99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kySv8R3En
ignored her and kept going, even though he had to bribe her with more meat in99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCWQaXLgpV
exchange for not biting his hand. Fair trade.
The two of them99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBrIAqLw6U
made their way down the stairs and towards the castle door. There were Blades99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHiXLrGNBO
standing at attention on both sides of the red carpet where the Wardens would99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqZ1DUCeEq
walk once they arrived. They would go to the throne room where they would meet99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZnQO5oGgm
with the others and the council to discuss the wedding and their roles in it,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1qqCaNiYD
and maybe some matters of state. It was rare that outsides would be allowed in,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RRJ5K1xoZ
and Vander wasn’t an exception.
Shea and Vander99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ebARalmbM
took their positions next to Charles, standing to his left, because the King99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T3VlKxg7t
was to the right. All the ranking Blades stood next to him while the council99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡono7Jg1Amw
members stood on the King’s right side. Mari Drayson and her daughter stood99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpjmrPOUAL
between the King and Viggo Visc, per the custom when any other Warden was in99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxqZ1m1Gsv
the city. Peyton stood to Viggo’s right while Bernard stood in the door way. To99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuFN3jJ3cO
the front, in between each, stood a soldier who would protect the council with99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y2CKBFnYV
their lives if it came down to it, only the King was left unprotected, as it99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB2mbiHho0
was ceremonial, but also the job of a Blade to risk their lives for the King. Shea99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtezeMFAGSK
took her spot behind Vander but would be ready to act in case her friend’s life99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcSRq8m0fc
was in danger. They didn’t have long to wait before the sounds of the drums99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBM0PGLNKt
were heard from the Western Gates.
Even though the wardens99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeVPtsIDXk
came from the north, west, and south, the western gate was the closest point99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJCKGBWECN
between the three, so their entire entourage met there and walked through the99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqkOmzJy63
streets until they reached the King. As the citizens were given enough of a99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDevRb7GT1
warning, the streets were closed in celebration. Vander could hear the cheers99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexzBR5l9wj
all the way from where he stood, the noise made his sensitive ears hurt, but he99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCOP3b9VQD
had to stand strong, or others would get suspicious. It took nearly an hour for99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwt8s0HGFw
the Warden’s to make their way to the inner ring, but their entrance was extravagant.
The first warden99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGZig2Z7c5
to appear was Jira Jewelthorne, the Western Warden. He had short black hair and99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5cPxhWs8u
black eyes. He wore extravagant and expensive clothing: today he wore opulent99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hyuu9xrDf
gold with red trim. His fingers were adorned with silver and gold rings with various99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsAxDE9I9H
gemstones imbedded inside of them. He had no standing army. Instead, he hired99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EG4U0LIiO
mercenaries to protect his kingdom. There was a small squad of ten flaking his99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfradSE6s8
horse as he rode. The Blades assigned to protected him were behind them and it99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatOT8zwECF
appeared as though they were holding chains for a man walking between them.
Right behind him99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj7rov8iti
came Leida Valariyan, the ruler of Stormcrag. Despite her young age, the99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDJfH3bOhf
youngest of all the wardens, the weather made her cold and unyielding. She sat99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUqqlCa7LL
stony faced upon her horse, her salt gray hair tied back in a ponytail, her99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTuBxiCBtq
green eyes looking straight at the King. She was a warrior through and through.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nhrtIWqhM
The only person she brought with her was99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWiocfydow
her cloaked fighter, Drakon, No one knew what he looked like underneath that99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AnfCv4KbG
ratty black cloak, even Vander’s eyes couldn’t pierce the shadows. Whoever he99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKBujgoJBu
was, he was enchanted. Five Blades with terrified expressions followed behind99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrokwcrmkX
her. Charles would have to give them the next week off to recover.
The final warden99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVCdXk2hIZ
was Malakai Whitesun. He exuded power and strength. In wars past he was the99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qLXeBSIqm
King’s most trusted confidant, and it was due to his family that the rest of99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2aQK352AX
Eluvia was safe from Bricen’s attacks. His entire body was tanned from living99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkcSmC3ABI
down there and due to the heat he kept his head shaved. He wore a white vest,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDxHq8LDHd
with nothing else on underneath, and white poofy pants that allowed him to stay99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnhCSbN17x
cool even in the hottest conditions. He had his own general which was borrowed99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZE269KoOW
from the city: Eric Jilena, the patriarch and husband to Anna Jilena. Sitting99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVr1XjBprg
behind him was his son, Alphonse, who was poised to take his father’s position.
The six main99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1saJFDkPhX
figures got down from their horses to walk up the red carpet while the others99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEGJKFawb5
stayed where they were. A few feet from the King, each of them got down on one99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wlPQIdL3E
knee then bowed their heads.
“Rise my99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLHeRlo6l5
friends.” Malcom laughed. He walked down to greet them, his blue trimmed, white99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNgkVOUSWo
cape dragged on to the floor behind him. He stood each of their hands in turn,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzbobIwzvd
his royal signet out for everyone to see. While he got to Leida, she presented99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHWDG0orda
her cheek so he could kiss it. “I hope your travels were fair.”
“They were99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSABQE9XvH
indeed.” Jira laughed, his voice fake, but the gleam in his eyes weren’t as he99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv25KMqnwxK
gazed at the noblewomen standing in the line. “My mercenaries are in dire need99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6ozESz5RX
of food, drink and entertainment, as am I.”
“And they will99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAG0y2hvoC
have them.” Malcolm chuckled. “And how are you General? Are you excited to be99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICImt7xfa4
back home?”
“I am my King.” Eric99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf39wcsfTX
bowed. “I have missed my wife and other children greatly.”
“And you99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz14JcaSNS
Alphonse?” he turned to the general’s youngest son.
“Yes, my lord.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA9uRsAXzj
Alphonse bowed his head. “Though I’m afraid this weather will take some time to99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJhNDO4eVL
get used to again.”
“I have food for99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwdja80bbt
you all inside.” Malcolm turned to step back towards the castle. “If you would99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdTGDRADp0
please follow me.”
“Not yet my99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6qN0nHDvt
King.” Malakai placed his hand on the King’s shoulder. Vander involuntarily99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoeDlmn1L3
went for his sword, but his grandfather’s glare kept his hand still. “We have a99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNhON2FqPV
surprise for you.” Malakai turned and shouted: “MAKE WAY FOR THE PRINCE!” All99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFPCwXMXz2
at once, all those in attendance stepped aside and saluted. A carriage, unseen99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6li5y0UNQ
by everyone opened and Cuvera, along with two veiled women walked out. The last99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1El5NWmlGH
person out was General Jasper Valentin, Bree’s father.
Upon seeing his99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XAEZeunRD
father, Cuvera smiled. His sandy brown hair flowed in the wind as he locked the99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4nmSvMsNv
same-colored eyes on his father’s. He was wearing a smart blue colored jacket99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6QL9ErBEI
with the royal family’s crest etched on the front. On his hand was another,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuZSO1tZg5
identical signet ring, to his father’s. He ran up to embrace his father. After99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspTO0ZgiEV
a moment the two of them broke apart, but Malcolm held onto his son’s arms.
“I wasn’t99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof321Ov60t
expecting you for another week.” He gasped. “Why have you arrived so soon.”
“We met up with99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklAWursNNV
Lord Whiteson as he crossed the river, so we decided to go together. I left the99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACIVLFz3Sn
main soldiers on the road as Malakai would be able to protect us.” He stepped99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oICMOqv89
back to wave the two women forward. He wrapped his arms around the one wearing99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHQI7RGMjw
red and orange. “This lovely lady is my betrothed, Kiara.” She removed her99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CWwf0gsK8
veil, and everyone released their breath they didn’t know they were holding.
Her skin was a99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyjoNezN4c
deep brown color with vibrant golden eyes. Her dark brown hair was pulled back99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGwD7m6cJP
into a loose weave, but there were some strands framing her face. You could99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQtxyahNIV
tell that her body was that of a warrior: lithe, muscular, lethal. Vander could99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh42JFjM0t1
easily see her twirling on the battlefield cutting people down left and right.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Sj7XGdspb
He secretly hoped Cuvera knew what he was in for. Unknown to everyone other99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRUyZz89qm
than him, he could feel otherworldly power radiating from her that made him99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiT2LEgBPK
nervous. It felt as though he was staring at the sun. Even Shea whimpered from99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyfzgdI8c5
behind him.
“It’s nice to99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7jl4fA81Z
meet you all.” She curtsied. Everyone bowed their heads in respect to their99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1hS0S1hBR
future queen. Malcolm walked up then kissed both her cheeks before embracing99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X7tAdwMrl
her.
“It’s wonderful99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdRI5uPe5D
to meet you.” he laughed. “I hope my son has been treating you well on your99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3PNdG8Htz
travels together?” Kiara wrapped her arms through Cuvera’s.
“He’s been99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsI4fgCAg2
perfect.” She smiled. Her gazed flickered to Vander. Upon noticing him her eyes99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvhyi0NjSa
widened then she whispered something into his ear. He nodded his head then99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQbnxxz6C7
turned back to his father.
“There is one99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPwh0vgenO
more person we’d like to introduce everyone too.” He motioned the mystery women99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxpjWuEw4g
forward. She was dressed similarly to Kiara except her uniform was yellow and99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTMGros76M
silver. She stepped forward then removed her veil. Without waiting for anyone99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0LLRuPL8u
to introduce her, she introduced herself:
“My name is99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pnoIQpF1Z
Eliza, Kiara’s younger sister and bodyguard.” She curtsied. “I hope to be of99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CHDU0E7Wf
use to all of you here.” She looked over at Vander and the breath left his body99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iQq8yOaJi
for a moment. She was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. She was99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJrEQoagGD
smaller than Kiara but had more defined muscles. Her brown hair was tied back99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd1EAa8ytW
into a tight ponytail, her silver eyes looked at him as if she could see99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYJGS1Ndfp
everything.
“It would be our99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O3TgwuV9A
honor to have you.” Charles answered.
“Let us go99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBvXnmmRZd
inside.” Cuvera offered. “I’m tired from my travels and I’m sure the wardens99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhegk25IAe
are as well.”
“Of course.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e2rv30A1c
Malcolm grinned. “Bernard made sure everyone’s rooms were made up properly and99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTk37V9Xtj
we have spared no expense to have your men as comfortable down in the city as99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftFsVcc6QU
possible. I trust I don’t need to explain the rules?”
“No sir,”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTcmtkAsSH
Whitesun grinned. “We remember what happened last time.”
“Excellent.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7bXqcsEvZ
Malcolm clapped his hands. “Come my son, there is much I must talk with you99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6cPHEycU9
about. My dear Kiara, you should come to so we can get the chance to get to99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9DS5MqOsH
know each other.”
“Yes father.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6euM6jH1E
Malcolm laughed at that but wrapped his arms around her shoulders and escorted99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxK5Sn76Im
her in. Eliza followed close behind unwilling to leave her sister alone in99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB1GvbtSaA
foreign territory. When Cuvera walked past, he gripped Vander’s shoulder.
“Meet me99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm0GEseOIt
tonight.” He whispered into his ear. Vander nodded his head.
Soon all the99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG81APVJ8u
nobles disappeared back into the castle while their guards were taken into the99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhSW50DiOT
city to their lodgings. While they were here it meant more overtime for the99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaTSpNiYt9
Blades and city guards because they had to make sure they behaved themselves99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpA9IixlNR
with the locals. The only ones left other than Charles and Vander were the two99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0wVhssYqR
generals who seemed to be discussing something with Alphonse. A moment later99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aC7O3KCfc
they split up and both Eric and his son went into the castle, likely to see99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91JkCFEAoc
Anna. However, Jasper walked over to the two of them.
“Commander.” His99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYKk02Ol4u
voice was curt, angry.
“General.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWFNqNZ2oI
Charles tried to hide the disdain in his voice.
“I heard my99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUWeTviFb8
daughter went to see you.” Jasper glared down at Vander. He shrugged in99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2zhT2UyDI
response. Suddenly Jasper grabbed Vander by the neck causing Shea to jump to99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP9tf8XOFG
her feet snarling. “You stay away from my daughter, or I will make sure you99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSksUtOXZBx
never see the light of day again.”
“Are you99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJe5JUoCjz
threatening my grandson, General?” Charles asked. Suddenly Alexander and a few99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu61lmaisYs
other Blades surrounded him with their hands on their swords.
“Not a threat.”99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpezTORZX1f
He said. “A warning.” He studied Vander for a second before pushing him away.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZmXlnBuA3
“If I find out you even breathe in her direction, you will regret it.”
“No more than the99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx9R1PmFfN
King regrets making you a General I’m sure.” Vander choked out. “I’m sure the99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3gqcsMCT0
prince would find this very interesting.”
“I don’t know99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGFu7uEmff
what he sees in you, you worthless trash.” With that he pushed past them99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBkRDf2YwV
disappearing inside the castle.
“He’s really99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6Le5psRC8
possessive of his daughter isn’t he?” Alex asked.
“He’s possessive99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8yxXlwVmQ
of the power she could give him through breeding.” Vander sighed. He rubbed his99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrkTnbmbb2
neck to try and rub the feeling back into it.
“Vander if he99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRh04ETJU0
touches you again, kill him.” Charles growled. “I will deal with the fall back,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6AxTTXEe9
but he will not touch you again without dire consequences.”

bowed his head. “Now let’s go. I expect this party will be interesting.”
