Chapter 11
The party was still in full swing98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMKI3sGXxC
once Alex and Vander left the Inn. Shea had been waiting patiently and even98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1DPsRXks0
Right and Left seemed sad to see her go. Alex didn’t say a word the entire trip98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQmD0moTpx
back into the Eastern District, even when they parted, he just headed towards98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYqcoGZRoL
the middle ring not even saying goodnight. He didn’t blame Alex, the first time98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN8cSuvswZ
he had gone to the warehouse and seen the pit wasn’t a happy experience either.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwZZ49IIzP
The fact the King allowed something like this was even more of a surprise, but98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb5mgC3H2Q
it was above their pay grade to know why. However, there was one thing that98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EN181sIOv
Ross had said that played over and over in his mind. There was a traitor within98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt3CRK79Yz
the Blades.
He didn’t know how Ross found that98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6CGt3ieIV
out, but he wasn’t one to disregard warnings, not if it had come from him. They98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCyqb98rj4
had done business in the past and in the beginning, he had been skeptical, but98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qepBNNQzz
Ross’s warnings and advice almost always came true. He would be an idiot not to98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4tUkby5JF
take the warning seriously, but for the life of him he couldn’t figure out who98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PQ8oi4gUH
it could be. Guess if it was going to be easy, he wouldn’t have needed Ross to98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQCuvUfDr1
tell him. He would have to discuss everything he had been told with his98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TYFXcRTFE
grandfather, and the King, tomorrow. For now, he needed rest.
The Inn was quiet by the time the98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuXpn0udDb
two of them arrived back. Not even Julianna the workaholic was awake, the98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkIHhIxCQX
embers in the fireplace gave off little more than a slight glow. The two of98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJLooFxjG8
them slowly walked up the stairs being careful not to disturb the sleepers.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomVN5GtgzP
When they got to their room, he pushed the door open, and Shea trotted inside.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3oDxI80WR
She sniffed around for a moment before jumping up on the bed, finding her spot,98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe1HGbvGZf
then curling up into a ball. He followed suit shortly after, crawling under the98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksKLQjBIMi
covers and passing out almost immediately.
When he awoke, he knew he was98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgd6hn1y9z
somewhere else. It was the cold air that surrounded him or the sight of weeping98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgnyZ7RVVD
cobblestone. No, it was the smell of rot and decay. Looking around he saw98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyziCitOBL
himself standing in a dimly lit chamber that was cylindrical. There were98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaiZqcwafC
torches above his heads, and they were so close he could reach up and touch98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLBw8ksEsc
them. Curiously, in the dead center of the room was a podium which was holding98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqHduBv56v
a book. Walking over to it, he realized it was in a language he didn’t98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexIJHKV7TS
recognize. As he reached out to touch it, a cough woke him up from his trance.
“I wouldn’t touch that if I were98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2YfqbiTyM
you.” an elderly voice spoke. Facing the sound of the voice, Vander spotted98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjtMa77opX
an old man white long white hair chained to the wall. There was a slight98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqpNzqCtJ2
radiant aura coming from within the body, but it was weak, barely alive.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMTjuuG6Ys
Instinctively he knew who it was even though it was hard to believe.
“Veyar.” Vander bowed his head98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7CzHH1NwR
before dropping down to one knee. “Are you the one who summoned me?” The98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw5nMcUHv8
old man nodded his head. “Why? Where are we?”
“I do not know.” Veyar98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94siy5mXvv
admitted. Vander found that hard to believe. The father of all the deities knew98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWeHwUP55Z
everything, at least he was supposed to. “I was brought here unconscious, I98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPib5tdel0
had no idea I had even been taken until I woke up chained to these walls, my98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMTYU0MN1T
power stripped from my body.”
“Do you need me to free you?”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQYARV1OQf
Vander asked. He suddenly felt very foolish as Veyar went through back his head98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdKUDPX15H
and laughed.
“There is nothing you can do for98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiNECeqglG
me here but thank you for offering.” The deity looked amused. “I have98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl1iJOL1Jg
brought you here to deliver a warning. You are in great danger as is everyone98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0rKLF6Xkz
around you. Keep hold of your secret, tell no one, or all will be lost.” Vander98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuQMznGCja
was confused.
“Who is after me?” He asked.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwozhyFeRkN
Veyar craned his head as if he were listening for someone.
“There is no time, he will be here98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKsoeUukKd
soon.” He sounded afraid. “Beware the false sun, Vander. Beware.” Before he could ask anything else, Vander’s98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI7eCMasX5
sight went dark.
He bolted up out of bed dripping98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3wX6s8ViM
with sweat. Shea was still snoring next to him oblivious to what had happened98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2RK1dH3r8
during the night. He wouldn’t have believed it happened if he didn’t smell the98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6VewiQa6m
power lingering in the air. Veyar was supposedly the strongest of the Deities,98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZo1Rh72Ne
his equal was Imitae, so how had he been captured and why couldn’t he escape? All98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmysxtDl54L
these questions, but the one that mattered most was who was after him. He was98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyDYEah9RK
told to ‘beware the false sun’, it wasn’t much to go on. He would just have to98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JJOVYLrMP
file it away under ‘mysteries’ and leave it at that.
He swung his feet out from under98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6VDjni2MM
the covers placing them on the cool floor. Azta hasn’t risen yet, but the sky98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4TO1nR2VJ
was turning a bright pink. He had only been asleep for a few hours, but despite98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNLZB58tTH
how he felt, he had work to do. Today was the day he was supposed to train the98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyyPP8uRlN
recruits. Hopefully Alex had got them ready, and they would be waiting for him98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwmnZOQIRo
by the time he arrived at the castle grounds.
He left Shea sleeping on the bed.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Udl5vjBSb
She didn’t like getting up early if she didn’t have to and Julianna would take98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmYAQYNU69
care of her while he was gone. He slipped on his uniform, clipped his sword to98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa9Dzm0uYn
his belt and left.
Dawn was the time of day when Unna98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpO526H5kU
was her weakest. Hunters, especially animals, were most active at night to98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeIPQWLKqQ
hunt, fuck, and whatever it is they did during the night. It was now when98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGRZFwdUJW
Vander was at his calmest, when her powers deep inside of him slumbered. He was98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDb47N5tlU
capable of rational thought and not letting those powers cloud his judgement.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbvdDwsRJM
This was also when he was at his weakest. Without the strength of her powers,98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcarP71FesY
he was close to defenseless, which was all someone needed to take him out.
He was blindsided from the alley98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNO31bPZeW
next to him. Someone grabbed him by the arm and threw him against the building.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94psilLviu
Vander brought his arm up to block the next strike, but it snaked past his guard98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdECrpPkLRU
hitting him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, but that was short lived.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT87bNeFAP
Someone wrenched his neck back and his arms were pulled behind him. He tried to98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia6N81gfx4
stand, but someone kicked out his knees bringing him down.
“The hell do you want?” He hissed98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1SABkJrk8
out in pain. He could smell three distinctive scents, but he had a feeling98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVCyvepl1f
there were a couple of more where he couldn’t see them.
“Is this him?” Someone said, a98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNOyhszwsp
woman. There was nothing distinct about her, not that he could tell with his98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EPN1f7gCI
weakening powers.
“Not sure.” Someone said, a male98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWOfERtYz6
this time. “I expected more of a fight from him. But he has the look we were98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYBQcn9pSk
told about.”
“Even if it’s not, kill him.” A98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56zEdJhkRr
third person said. “Better safe than sorry.” He heard a knife being drawn from98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLusCCHfPoT
a sheath.
“Nothing personal.” The woman98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1CYWYIQZv
said. Vander let out a deep guttural growl and lunged forward. Whoever was98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBqiYTqMWI
holding his arms didn’t do a good job. He was startled by the sudden savagery98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBnusUwJtf
Vander showed that he didn’t keep a good grip allowing him to slip through. He98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVBOLifFWp
attacked the woman in front of him, hitting her jaw, sending her sprawling98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjXO7LrIYi
backwards. As he suspected, two people jumped out from the shadows drawing98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn9jEuV29l
wicked looking scimitars as Vander charged them. However, he was too quick. He98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmjCOfJwYE
slammed the hilt of one back into the sheath then using the momentum to kick98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqiL54rXo9
the other one in the jaw knocked him unconscious. He landed behind the other98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhg3qJwdM5
one and drew a knife from his belt holding it against their throat.
“Who are you?” He shouted. He98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S5abgbFqv
pressed the dagger against the assassin’s throat drawing blood with the edge.
“You ruined our plan.” Vander felt98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYAQCQuYPX
as though the man he was holding was grinning. “Now you will pay.” The man98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiwJUn4rrX
grabbed Vander’s arm and pushed the knife deeper into his own neck. He gurgled98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iq1luJZR7
mouthfuls of blood before falling to his knees, dying. Vander quickly drew his98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GNDLqeJi4
sword as three knives covered with poison flew headed straight for his chest.
He knocked two of the knives away,98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7GIRoha0e
spinning out into the darkness. The third he grabbed by the handle and threw it98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoPFuq13UR
back at the sender. She yelled out with a scream and crumbled to the ground. One98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyRcH0tKRr
of the assassins drew their scimitar and lunged at him. Vander brought his98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aT4fW97M2
weapon up to counter the strike. He parried and slashed, forcing the assailant98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhZAZYciNL
on his back foot. The assailant lunged forward attempting to take Vander98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7KH7vNJkx
through the side, but he dodged sideways. The momentum carried the man into98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEXQ1ZS9q5
range of Vander’s sword which decapitated him spraying blood everywhere.
“Then there were two.” Vander98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawpfeQ2Gav
smiled. He wiped the blood from his sword eyeing the man in front of him. He98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlibHTO5Mh
was tending to the woman who had the poisoned knife embedded in her arm. He98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxlPiKMvkc
crushed something in his hand then dripped it into her throat. Her face visibly98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG61ZGwi6T6
relaxed as he ripped the knife from her arm.
“You are a lot stronger than we98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv321y4N334
were told.” The man said, cradling the woman in his arms as he stood. “This is98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCaXzbydQD
your victory.” The man Vander had kicked slowly got to his feet. His breath was98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpXBnEYI33
labored. He had likely broken a couple of ribs.
“You attack me, and you think I’ll98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIuiBFZfiD
let you go?” Vander laughed. “You’re sadly mistaken. You will die here, and I98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9UXDjxhZx
will take that girl with me for interrogation.” The man behind him rushed98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3z9W2BBNm
forward, grabbed Vander around the neck with his arm. Vander brought his arm98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOt9CnhKI0
back, nailing him in his already broken ribs, causing him to cough up blood.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmKOQKnB42
However, he did not let go.
“Run, I’ll hold him back.” He spoke.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pnpESfVHA
The assassin nodded his head then jumped onto the windowsill of the building98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLSa1gBb8E
next to us then crawled out of sight. Vander knew he could catch him, but he98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS7fSw7Jjq
would have to get rid of this guy first.
“Get off me.” Vander snapped. He98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSJfsVIwLz
brought his head back crushing the nose of the assassin then he grabbed his98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmck30SNsWp
head then threw him overhead. His back slammed onto the ground and before he98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJksyK7iqkO
could rise, Vander nailed him in the jaw knocking him out. “Shit.” He had98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W6Geqi9Ly
wasted too much time and in this current state he wouldn’t be able to chase the98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoXCuSAqoJ
two of them. So, he leaned up against the wall and waited for backup to arrive.
Someone must have called the98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVYi4ruPph
guards because they arrived ten minutes later, which allowed Vander to catch98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJVPdL3P21
his breath and think about what had just happened. Based on the way they were98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ftdrV50wU
talking; someone had put a hit out on him It seemed to be the same group that98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW0FhDtnK7
had killed Nigel after he had been discovered. There was no proof to that98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSafEpIdRZ
claim, but based on the fact they were using the same style of weapons, including98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG0fffo5tP
poison, and their style seemed to be ambush, it was likely them. However, were98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mfx26XZeV
they Green Serpents or another group entirely? He would have to wait for98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LYWlVjzmT
sleeping beauty to wake up first, but before that. He opened the unconscious98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9g2QFHyp7
assassin’s mouth and rooted around until he found what he was looking for. He98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMdp3WYcZY
ripped out a fake tooth with a poison capsule hiding inside.
Assassins were98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlrOo7rUNh
all the same.
“Sir?” Vander looked up to see98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSYUQCj7uf
Jeffery Jilena standing there surrounded by other soldiers. “The hell happened98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUhagXtI9X
here?” The sun had come up and was about halfway to noon which meant he had98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyyNLqfOxC
been sitting here for hours. In his daze he wouldn’t have noticed if the98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64shF9A7hJ
assassin had escaped, but he was lucky he was still out like a light.
“An assassination attempt.” Vander98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3Zi82EN8k
accepted the hand the young Captain held out for him, helping him up to his98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOF0AOoLyi
feet. “I got three of them, but two of them escaped. I would have followed98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxOO8deYNh
them, but I haven’t had a solid rest in days and I’m weakest at dawn.”
“You did enough.” Jeffery nodded.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmSywDnEr2
He walked over to the still breathing assassin then bent down to check him out.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgHeUgyPxB
“This one is still alive.”
“Bring him to the dungeons.”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSJQXYOGsJ
Vander smirked. “I want to interrogate him myself. And bring this to Doctor98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NTZrg22FD
Lohsyn.” He dropped the capsule into Jeffery’s hand. “Don’t let anyone eat it98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpZHVkf3AS
or drop it. I need to know what it’s made from.”
“I will handle it myself.” Jeffery98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xbjrEp90q
clutched it to his chest and bowed his head. “You two.” He turned and snapped98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg6ZqaWPS3
at two of the soldiers standing nearby. “Take this man to the dungeons. Give98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRDf3UXZ5y
him food and water, but nothing else. Chain him, make sure he can’t even piss98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk81BvskUE
without help. Am I clear?”
“Yes sir!” the two guards saluted.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPzVDI6pSn
They picked up the unconscious assassin and hauled him away. Jeffery had two98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaN0ZeGSD4
other guards follow just incase the man tried to make a break for it. The other98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZvVeuB0sn
bodies would be sent to Lohsyn as well for an autopsy. After dealing with all98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt51FnzLHa
those details, he headed towards the castle.
The castle was finishing up the98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDVdhZxf1l
decorations for the prince’s arrival and it looked stunning. The windows were98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiyo9AW9D2
draped with blues and reds to represent both countries and people. Bernard really98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1hGcHS4G2
took his job seriously. Vander walked past the man and into the castle. A few98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89rhGVwTWk
minutes later he was standing in front of the King’s door and knocked.
“Come in.” The King’s voice98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapYATnvnlf
boomed. Vander turned the knob and headed inside.
Malcolm was at his desk looking98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTffdlwK2y5
over some papers. He was wearing a blue collared shirt that was unbuttoned showing98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIGJjxUdO0
off the upper part of his chest. There was a gold chain hanging around his neck98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXlkMxh2V8
with a sapphire gemstone hanging from it. His black rimmed glasses slid down98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwejMRk3o6B
his nose, resting just above the fall.
“You look like shit Vander.”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkqeA51tjn
Malcolm stood up motioning towards the seat in front of him. “Is that blood on98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUaJP5svmx
you?”
“It’s been a rough morning.”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGZz5it0QQ
Vander shed his jacket then hung it up by the door. He didn’t want to get blood98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsBo8o0jKP
on the carpet. “Jumped by a couple of assassins on my way to train my recruits.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tBUsfmk4T
Kill two, knocked out one, and two escaped.”
“Do you wish to be seen by Topal?”98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsZduaWi5F
Malcolm asked.
“I really just want to fucking98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOspQR63Xe
sleep.” His eyes grew heavy.
“Rest here, no one will bother98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxmLHQLhYg
you.” The King smiled. “The couch is very comfortable. Much better than the98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARuPZav05q
chair.”
“I’ll rest in a moment.” Vander98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtySQDPDRY8
sighed. “I came here to tell you about my meeting with my source. He gave me98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXb127T6A8
the name of the organization who poisoned you. The Green Serpents.” Upon98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvbdl5I9LW
hearing the name, Malcolm froze.
“Are you sure that’s what he98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XjhEVbWxz
said?”
“Yea,” Vander nodded. “Ross is98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdYphBeYu1
trustworthy, his advice has never let me down before.”
“Shit.” Vander was shocked, he had98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61rEvmwJS4
never heard the King curse before. He got up from his desk and went to stand by98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11YWjgI65f
the window. Despite being in a coma for months, he seemed to be quite healthy.98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWuv0FiX7E
He couldn’t help but wonder where all that stamina came from.
“Are you alright?” Vander asked.
“If it’s the Serpents we are in98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE5uOWWZcT
trouble.” The King ran his fingers through his hair. “I will have to talk to98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShyyD9yOhE
Peyton and your grandfather before saying anything else.” He turned around to98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7SW5PBywd
look at Vander. “I just received word that Warden Drayson will be here later98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkY64Do5TA
this afternoon. We will have her forces and some of our back to beef up98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPdz3KmkeQ
security. I want you to oversee protection.”
“Are you sure?” Vander asked. “I98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGUo9XTVLP
don’t think I’m experienced enough for something like that.”
“I trust you as does your98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1dHPDtEt2
grandfather.” Malcolm smiled. “You’ll do fine. Is there anything else I should98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ94iVe80Ld
know?”
“Ross can help me find where the98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHZlu63yPH
Serpents are hiding.” Vander sighed. “But the price is steep, it can’t be paid98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgay6CjesW5
with money.”
“I trust your judgement.” Malcolm98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhpAfU5VFW
walked over then squeezed Vander’s shoulder. “Now get some rest. I’ll wake you98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QSlnXQXBc
when it’s time.” Nodding his appreciation, Vander headed towards the couch98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUF0YyZ6XA
where he promptly passed out.
