Chapter 36
The crowds had already gathered by80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtEdfMts0Q
the time Vander had left the basement and been brought outside. He could feel80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3kOtJEuwQ
that everything was placed on a knife’s edge just waiting for someone to do80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvJxDSIAXq
something to light a match under the powder keg. There were five soldiers in80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2MwBAjXEw
front of him, two of them were holding the chains to his hands, while the five80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXWf3YNgLM
behind him were holding his leg iron chains. There were guards surrounding him80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIsvsvNrk0
as well to keep anyone from trying anything, or to keep him from escaping.
“How do you like the crowd?”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTT1ec7nks
Vander turned his head to see Leon smirking next to him. Leon had always felt80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo3noN2X6C
inferior to Vander, he wasn’t sure why, but it was always a one-sided contest80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcMmNW236m
between the two of them.
“I’m glad to see you haven’t80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm2EHLxcze
changed at all.” Vander snorted. “I assume that this was your doing?”
“Of course.” Leon laughed. “I80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m2oEfXeYb
wanted everyone to see you fall. It would make quite the story don’t you80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6WExSKivU
think?”
“If you think this will change80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwX9vS9JMx
anyone’s mind about you, you’re sadly mistaken.” Vander shook his head. “You’re80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfdLEKS1ly
still just a baby hiding behind his father’s power. No one will respect you. No80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrg4NLOHgB
one will like you. The sooner you face facts, the happier you will be.”
“I don’t have to take that from a80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26RM0ZyVTI
king slayer.” Leon hissed. “I’ll be there in the front row when they hang you.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUqsZGGtKZ
With that Leon walked off to the front of the procession.
As they made their way into the80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZBcvYikWm
east district, Vander saw some familiar faces amongst the crowd. Many of them80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcWv6ux2G0
he had helped in the past and while he was glad to see them, he was embarrassed80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkii223HZN
to have them see him like this. He wasn’t Malcolm’s killer, but did the others80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09PURQp1TD
believe him? It was hard to be sure. His eyes met Julianna’s. She didn’t look80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTsoItMt8q
away, but her face was grim. He turned away from her.
“Vander!” He heard her shout.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgoZTsBtMT
“Don’t give up, we’re with you!” He looked over to see that Julianna had held80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3dd7fIZPz
her fist up in the air. Slowly and surely the others did the same. They didn’t80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡronwPexJQC
scream, they didn’t shout, they didn’t rush the soldiers to free him. They80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRzMFTdhO8
showed solidarity with him, as if they didn’t believe what was being said about80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUbw0tSwLk
him. He would have to prove their trust in him was correctly placed.
“Keep it moving!” one of the80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ1EX6gkpH
guards shoved Vander in the back causing him to stumble. He caught himself and80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0Dc6RbGUz
kept walking.
The road through the middle80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA3pKbONyB
district was cleared for everyone. The nobles didn’t care about this, it was80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UJJut0JKa
below their station. They were likely asleep or cheating on their spouses. It80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNDiDmy1q0
was those in the third ring that would give him the most difficult time: the80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5t0srBSiy
comrades he served with for most of his life. It was their judgement that would80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHQNeZFyGm
hurt the most. Nothing could prepare him for what he expected to face from80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYvT86itAA
them.
The Blades were standing on both80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB0m2874TD
sides of the road with the rest of the army behind them. He knew Alex wasn’t80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v2si1NTR3
there, but he saw Chicken, Rooster, Forest, Briar, and Eve standing amongst80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJIjcMSa1v
them. In the few months he had been gone, it looked as though they had aged80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBgGJvsyNJ
considerably. He could tell Chicken was close to tears, but she held them back.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsIreFDnDL
Rooster looked straight ahead with a bewildered expression on his face. Forest80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzaaF5JtZo
and Briar held each other’s hands, but Eve looked annoyed for some reason. He80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2iuZB2vnv
felt a little bad that his grandfather wasn’t around. He had taken the brunt of80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn20Aa8Cj4K
the punishment and now it would be his turn if he couldn’t convince the council80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXPQb3qEGE
he was innocent.
He was brought up the castle steps80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArGVITEB4R
then towards the council chamber. Most of his guard detail was left behind with80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXyLYs3kgq
only the four guards holding his chains, Eric Jilena, and Leon escorting him to80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jdUG8mKGg
the council chamber for judgement to be passed upon him. However, they took him80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthkNSGYPdT
to the throne room instead. Two Blades opened the door revealing the large80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKuDDssYC1
empty space, the only thing there was the throne where Cuvera was sitting.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtJcjRRtjS
Behind him was Kiara and Eliza. Spaced evenly around them were the remaining80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDDHIYpnBF
council members and they did not look happy in the least.
Peyton Cranton sat next to Cuvera80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuv5mX8sav
with a small smile on his face. He had likely been waiting for this for a very80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsNmd92UUg
long time.
“We brought him.” Eric pulled the80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBpwVHlNMU
chains causing Vander to stumble, falling to his knees.
“Remove the chains.” Cuvera80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6lIuY70M8
instructed.
“My King?” Eric asked. “Is that80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0jhO8pMlr
wise? He already killed your father and my son. He’s dangerous. He should be…”
“I gave you an order General.”80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTyJVvnZH0
Cuvera snapped. “Do not make me repeat myself.” Eric debated whether to80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9RK1x8QIG
disobey, but eventually he relented. Vander felt the chains leave his hands80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0xue2CSJx
then clatter on the ground. He rubbed his wrists tenderly hoping to get the80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnqWSwdlXI
feeling back into them. “Step forward.”
Vander walked until he was ten80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mfx8ieJWz
feet away from the throne, before dropping to one knee, bowing in front of his80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquHBFLPmWt
friend. He looked up to see that Cuvera had aged considerably these past few80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CoKlm2aa8
months. He was now sporting a thick brown beard. His eyes were dark, likely not80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19qiKCfQev
getting enough sleep, and it appeared as though Kiara was pregnant with their80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIQpDRS1ys
first child. She was looking at Vander with a worried expression on her face.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsduV3E9HF
Eliza’s face was unreadable, but he detected some concern in her eyes. He80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZabzdmdtD
didn’t want to give anything away, so he just kept his eyes focused straight80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTzAldZv1l
ahead.
He noticed that the four Warden’s80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswAtBLeS7U
from the other regions were also in attendance. Jewelthorne looked bored, as if80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRhGMwxXZK
he had been forced to be there. Valyrian looked at him with disgust while80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaeEXtD1ru
Whitesun, the one he knew the least, looked at him with interest. Mari looked80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh7IaQPnMD
at him with a small smile, as if she was telling him that everything was going80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4uGrnrwtL
to be alright. Despite her demeanor, he felt that it was going to be everything80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUJicw9aCn
but.
“You know why you are here,80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2BfpNDnkA
Vander, Blade Captain?” Cuvera’s voice echoed through the room.
“Yes.” Vander admitted. “I am80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXSCIJguJr
accused of killing Malcolm and Jeffery Jilena.”
“Last night you were also seen80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcnkbqZme4
fleeing from the northern district right before Humi, Humjir’s head priest, was80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNplhBOC7xL
found dead.” Cuvera explained.
“Humi died?” Vander was80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpoTtY89iL
disappointed. He had hoped that the guards would have gotten there in time, but80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupkNIeDex1
he guessed wrong.
“What do you have to say for80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojjjo20CQE
yourself?”
“Innocent on all accounts.” A80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7gYFwpcHJ
collective gasp went up from the council members. Anna Jilena looked like her80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Bow7pFiu
head was about to explode.
“I’ll give you a chance to tell80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsXulstNZF
your side of the story.” Cuvera said. “Explain to me how Lord Cranton saw you80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi49RXsvo0Z
kill my father, us all watching you flee the room in a hurry, then finding80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2o6s9a0pv
Jeffery Jilena dead on the ground with his throat cut.”
“I see.” Vander sighed. “Must we80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y482xJiih
do this in front of them?” He motioned towards the council. “I’d rather just80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSxkGhgRV8
talk to you alone.”
“So, you could kill him?” Peyton80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYKBwNJLv0
laughed. “I think not. You’re the criminal here, you don’t get special80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPUmM7rfEG
treatment.” As much as he hated to admit it, Peyton was right. So, he told them80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrmBOOI2Kd
what had happened.
He started by talking about what80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO499wqJ6N
had happened in the catacombs when Cuvera went to visit his mother. Boar had80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfsQDrDSIY
come to him in a vision, telling him to grab the book on the gods that Malcolm80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNKByNDcQR
had shown him in his office. Not bothering to question his ancestor, Vander80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejjaAp2S52
waited until everyone was distracted before sneaking into the library and80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zyUDtHEDy
grabbing the book. Malcolm had seen him, but before either of them could say a80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyMuNReQxa
word to each other Peyton had run him through with a sword.
Peyton didn’t even flinch when80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8nfSrDDAG
Vander pointed at him, and while some of the council members looked at him80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoS2Yg2NaB
sideways, Vander could tell very few believed him.
After that, he ran away because he80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UdJnFnnbQ
knew Peyton would blame Vander for the deaths even though he had nothing to do80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXUIad7Sy0
with it. Jeffery had found him on the lawn but had asked Vander to knock him80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ljv68TJvQ
out then escape. Vander punched him in the stomach before jumping against the80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZaLJLlm8W
wall.
Topal whispered to the council80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xbK9CGpZg
member next to him, but it was so quiet that Vander could hear what was being80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKqIPHApDi
said.
Vander continued. He fled to the80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWTKeMvd0g
Orange Fox because he knew the stigma surrounding the place would keep him safe80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGH4jSVmBK
while he could figure out what to do next. For three months he used the80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGB0ek60Sq
resources available to him to track down and find the Serpents, however he80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYxyYP7184
didn’t go into too much detail. He killed seven of them, then discovered a note80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhXR6QX2LF
sending an assassin known as Fang after him. Afterwards he went to talk to Humi80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPUFemfkSr
when they were attacked by an assassin. He told Vander to flee while holding80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwRoLyMtnn
them off, but he guessed he didn’t last much longer after that.
“Then you found me two days80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcmWe1q2mr
later.” Vander finished. “That’s all that happened.”
“Seems whoever you talk to just80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEzHX6zrjC
seems to be killed.” Peyton said. “There is a pattern here, Vander, I’m not80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEftJRUbyD
sure if anyone else can see it, but I can.”
“I also agree with Peyton.” Anna80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eE23VqPVi
Jilena seethed. “My son is dead because of you. Your story of what happened is80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo1D74bkpR
nonsense. My son’s throat was cut, there no question there.”
“If I may.” Topal raised his hand.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWv9Wgt4Ju
“When I did the autopsy of Jeffery, I noticed some discoloration around his80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc42jd26ib5
diaphragm along with some bruising within his lungs. To me, it seemed as though80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCHYJI1oXd
he had been struck five minutes before his throat was cut. There also wasn’t a80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSz8yQf10a
blood trail leading from the body to the wall.”
“He killed him!” Anna screeched.80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr4jHd75Mc
Bickering broke out amongst the council members causing Cuvera to stand up from80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxnSO6tDIW
the throne.
“Take him to the dungeons until we80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTCIN7mZYQ
get this settled.” Cuvera instructed. Bowing his head, Eric placed his hand on80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuIjJW37I7
Vander’s shoulders. Sighing, Vander stood up allowing himself to be led towards80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVkAboGMrb
the dungeons.
Before Eric handed him over to the80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp95RAJ6NG
jailers, he made Vander face him.
“My son, Jeffery, he respected you80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanFise6eef
a lot.” He spoke. “For his sake, I hope your innocent.”

“I am.” Vander nodded. Perhaps80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOINPe1f7K
taking some solace at that fact, Eric gave him a small smile. He snapped his80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWX4danTU7
fingers. The two jailers walked up, grabbed Vander’s arms, and brought him to80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIJvTJ1Y3a
his cell. They pushed him into the dank, musty flat that had rags for a blanket80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9JA8UNmUn
and very little warmth. The slammed the door shut, covering him in darkness.
