Chapter 36
The crowds had already gathered by74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti6aDa4Oey
the time Vander had left the basement and been brought outside. He could feel74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0WOGAKsgY
that everything was placed on a knife’s edge just waiting for someone to do74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIUYOUL6d5
something to light a match under the powder keg. There were five soldiers in74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLCigIjQHi
front of him, two of them were holding the chains to his hands, while the five74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa2ezLlYbJ
behind him were holding his leg iron chains. There were guards surrounding him74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIGXtrAdQS
as well to keep anyone from trying anything, or to keep him from escaping.
“How do you like the crowd?”74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfidSEXoZb
Vander turned his head to see Leon smirking next to him. Leon had always felt74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsTMcxLKcy
inferior to Vander, he wasn’t sure why, but it was always a one-sided contest74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JHZeBGevu
between the two of them.
“I’m glad to see you haven’t74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZVUSap0bj
changed at all.” Vander snorted. “I assume that this was your doing?”
“Of course.” Leon laughed. “I74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2OlbC0B8H
wanted everyone to see you fall. It would make quite the story don’t you74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ64F3K7ElF
think?”
“If you think this will change74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn5DodxiTy
anyone’s mind about you, you’re sadly mistaken.” Vander shook his head. “You’re74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuyqwGshFL
still just a baby hiding behind his father’s power. No one will respect you. No74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeaT0ZY2yv
one will like you. The sooner you face facts, the happier you will be.”
“I don’t have to take that from a74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo35hhlyaj
king slayer.” Leon hissed. “I’ll be there in the front row when they hang you.”74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4il2VprwL
With that Leon walked off to the front of the procession.
As they made their way into the74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL8u6cp0Ui
east district, Vander saw some familiar faces amongst the crowd. Many of them74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8303nWOfu0
he had helped in the past and while he was glad to see them, he was embarrassed74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT6p5HjN5h
to have them see him like this. He wasn’t Malcolm’s killer, but did the others74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFUALbEvPC
believe him? It was hard to be sure. His eyes met Julianna’s. She didn’t look74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtzaoEb4jN
away, but her face was grim. He turned away from her.
“Vander!” He heard her shout.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0vZVwO30L
“Don’t give up, we’re with you!” He looked over to see that Julianna had held74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1N7Cf0Nmw
her fist up in the air. Slowly and surely the others did the same. They didn’t74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7cMhcU4SQ
scream, they didn’t shout, they didn’t rush the soldiers to free him. They74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7x74vaqPv
showed solidarity with him, as if they didn’t believe what was being said about74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOaBHbUmoF
him. He would have to prove their trust in him was correctly placed.
“Keep it moving!” one of the74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCcMHhZOoE
guards shoved Vander in the back causing him to stumble. He caught himself and74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgVDA80SDW
kept walking.
The road through the middle74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAiIadCr6m
district was cleared for everyone. The nobles didn’t care about this, it was74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwib8725R9h
below their station. They were likely asleep or cheating on their spouses. It74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3RtHEyOVe
was those in the third ring that would give him the most difficult time: the74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySQge8LlNP
comrades he served with for most of his life. It was their judgement that would74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy40EPesBVg
hurt the most. Nothing could prepare him for what he expected to face from74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3XLImhxpY
them.
The Blades were standing on both74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59uUVZV1Eo
sides of the road with the rest of the army behind them. He knew Alex wasn’t74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03XQW5e8gs
there, but he saw Chicken, Rooster, Forest, Briar, and Eve standing amongst74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGefCl0oa93
them. In the few months he had been gone, it looked as though they had aged74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMObHKP4Nf1
considerably. He could tell Chicken was close to tears, but she held them back.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90BwCXoLJy
Rooster looked straight ahead with a bewildered expression on his face. Forest74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GzCNjTAoa
and Briar held each other’s hands, but Eve looked annoyed for some reason. He74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6DF8kl1Lm
felt a little bad that his grandfather wasn’t around. He had taken the brunt of74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjLxRatyvl
the punishment and now it would be his turn if he couldn’t convince the council74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24XYlhLfRZ
he was innocent.
He was brought up the castle steps74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsUqLmc4GS
then towards the council chamber. Most of his guard detail was left behind with74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoJuV0NrjY
only the four guards holding his chains, Eric Jilena, and Leon escorting him to74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOnpRZFdgQ
the council chamber for judgement to be passed upon him. However, they took him74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8pMx5RciS
to the throne room instead. Two Blades opened the door revealing the large74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPrGnRMEb3
empty space, the only thing there was the throne where Cuvera was sitting.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuDpgD3kBL
Behind him was Kiara and Eliza. Spaced evenly around them were the remaining74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57PwJPWayJ
council members and they did not look happy in the least.
Peyton Cranton sat next to Cuvera74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpgWSihTVS
with a small smile on his face. He had likely been waiting for this for a very74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbeU8US0pU
long time.
“We brought him.” Eric pulled the74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6xBTaFCfl
chains causing Vander to stumble, falling to his knees.
“Remove the chains.” Cuvera74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhaPB1eC9k
instructed.
“My King?” Eric asked. “Is that74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTJVrNyISh
wise? He already killed your father and my son. He’s dangerous. He should be…”
“I gave you an order General.”74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbLnv5xPb7
Cuvera snapped. “Do not make me repeat myself.” Eric debated whether to74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz4gefA3jR
disobey, but eventually he relented. Vander felt the chains leave his hands74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlta0bGMX5P
then clatter on the ground. He rubbed his wrists tenderly hoping to get the74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10x6zyLGTJ
feeling back into them. “Step forward.”
Vander walked until he was ten74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB0hq0rdLJ
feet away from the throne, before dropping to one knee, bowing in front of his74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JJmPyD7TM
friend. He looked up to see that Cuvera had aged considerably these past few74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOtKTY6CSC
months. He was now sporting a thick brown beard. His eyes were dark, likely not74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc47hoP1lIT
getting enough sleep, and it appeared as though Kiara was pregnant with their74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5luZuEhn5
first child. She was looking at Vander with a worried expression on her face.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwW9Z8iPd2
Eliza’s face was unreadable, but he detected some concern in her eyes. He74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ2iKSbvdy
didn’t want to give anything away, so he just kept his eyes focused straight74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPeYuOhFrS
ahead.
He noticed that the four Warden’s74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkehPntOsia
from the other regions were also in attendance. Jewelthorne looked bored, as if74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MVxcVnDp5
he had been forced to be there. Valyrian looked at him with disgust while74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokooA9C4UQ
Whitesun, the one he knew the least, looked at him with interest. Mari looked74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14HrS6ulTZ
at him with a small smile, as if she was telling him that everything was going74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKOLWXor8O
to be alright. Despite her demeanor, he felt that it was going to be everything74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lLdkto60J
but.
“You know why you are here,74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JugnTxyN1
Vander, Blade Captain?” Cuvera’s voice echoed through the room.
“Yes.” Vander admitted. “I am74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm7MShPq2D
accused of killing Malcolm and Jeffery Jilena.”
“Last night you were also seen74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrbTrbn8sD
fleeing from the northern district right before Humi, Humjir’s head priest, was74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB8mMRXPoa
found dead.” Cuvera explained.
“Humi died?” Vander was74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWQMVngHeT
disappointed. He had hoped that the guards would have gotten there in time, but74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAvEJdw3yM
he guessed wrong.
“What do you have to say for74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF0VrpeCj6
yourself?”
“Innocent on all accounts.” A74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CuGmscVML
collective gasp went up from the council members. Anna Jilena looked like her74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehqrl0aAx8
head was about to explode.
“I’ll give you a chance to tell74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk1hwwF6Wt
your side of the story.” Cuvera said. “Explain to me how Lord Cranton saw you74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW5FQOhHKW
kill my father, us all watching you flee the room in a hurry, then finding74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv4BJcxWMa
Jeffery Jilena dead on the ground with his throat cut.”
“I see.” Vander sighed. “Must we74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlgu8sRNl5
do this in front of them?” He motioned towards the council. “I’d rather just74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGRLTR8xLj
talk to you alone.”
“So, you could kill him?” Peyton74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpnv3otbJ4
laughed. “I think not. You’re the criminal here, you don’t get special74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdyyNbhynM
treatment.” As much as he hated to admit it, Peyton was right. So, he told them74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPePAEgzqr
what had happened.
He started by talking about what74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB79Wog8pC7
had happened in the catacombs when Cuvera went to visit his mother. Boar had74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9sxK3bu0c
come to him in a vision, telling him to grab the book on the gods that Malcolm74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfypxMonLt
had shown him in his office. Not bothering to question his ancestor, Vander74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcLoAh7yL4
waited until everyone was distracted before sneaking into the library and74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKM50k6oeA
grabbing the book. Malcolm had seen him, but before either of them could say a74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRWLLOu3Ok
word to each other Peyton had run him through with a sword.
Peyton didn’t even flinch when74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdahkd39jp
Vander pointed at him, and while some of the council members looked at him74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAxLsYZXDb
sideways, Vander could tell very few believed him.
After that, he ran away because he74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jX7tvl9xE
knew Peyton would blame Vander for the deaths even though he had nothing to do74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1lzfFJoox
with it. Jeffery had found him on the lawn but had asked Vander to knock him74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqC0TdZs2E
out then escape. Vander punched him in the stomach before jumping against the74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN93jmX3egU
wall.
Topal whispered to the council74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjENroMOiZ
member next to him, but it was so quiet that Vander could hear what was being74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzG6wtUgKV
said.
Vander continued. He fled to the74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86UqNBbps8
Orange Fox because he knew the stigma surrounding the place would keep him safe74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoB2pYp4kN
while he could figure out what to do next. For three months he used the74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnduzkEEwB
resources available to him to track down and find the Serpents, however he74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6laOULReYF
didn’t go into too much detail. He killed seven of them, then discovered a note74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZnEMgep2Y
sending an assassin known as Fang after him. Afterwards he went to talk to Humi74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYEIxLCy2L
when they were attacked by an assassin. He told Vander to flee while holding74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVvPXRcM3Q
them off, but he guessed he didn’t last much longer after that.
“Then you found me two days74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB03643FGx0
later.” Vander finished. “That’s all that happened.”
“Seems whoever you talk to just74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXwyOsupgA
seems to be killed.” Peyton said. “There is a pattern here, Vander, I’m not74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry74Svkiyl
sure if anyone else can see it, but I can.”
“I also agree with Peyton.” Anna74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCo2S544gT
Jilena seethed. “My son is dead because of you. Your story of what happened is74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxhmbkHcAk
nonsense. My son’s throat was cut, there no question there.”
“If I may.” Topal raised his hand.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQlRHetKKd
“When I did the autopsy of Jeffery, I noticed some discoloration around his74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirIyl2zi8I
diaphragm along with some bruising within his lungs. To me, it seemed as though74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OUCQvn9k6
he had been struck five minutes before his throat was cut. There also wasn’t a74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8ibSoPYT6
blood trail leading from the body to the wall.”
“He killed him!” Anna screeched.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeACotM54wl
Bickering broke out amongst the council members causing Cuvera to stand up from74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9of8wVDieu
the throne.
“Take him to the dungeons until we74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb08WwLRYy
get this settled.” Cuvera instructed. Bowing his head, Eric placed his hand on74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxAzC3zbce
Vander’s shoulders. Sighing, Vander stood up allowing himself to be led towards74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV7lJd4XyA
the dungeons.
Before Eric handed him over to the74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBcZwnV66J
jailers, he made Vander face him.
“My son, Jeffery, he respected you74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKRghqod6q
a lot.” He spoke. “For his sake, I hope your innocent.”

“I am.” Vander nodded. Perhaps74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIygV329F3O
taking some solace at that fact, Eric gave him a small smile. He snapped his74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL4129L43d
fingers. The two jailers walked up, grabbed Vander’s arms, and brought him to74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2g2fpRn8F
his cell. They pushed him into the dank, musty flat that had rags for a blanket74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueJ3kqb2CT
and very little warmth. The slammed the door shut, covering him in darkness.
