Chapter 11
The party was still in full swing97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyuuwMyscq
once Alex and Vander left the Inn. Shea had been waiting patiently and even97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUZSelJT97
Right and Left seemed sad to see her go. Alex didn’t say a word the entire trip97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPs6QnciBH
back into the Eastern District, even when they parted, he just headed towards97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kKdkupmbD
the middle ring not even saying goodnight. He didn’t blame Alex, the first time97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws60SJS7hV
he had gone to the warehouse and seen the pit wasn’t a happy experience either.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiXl931Vxu
The fact the King allowed something like this was even more of a surprise, but97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AWqQLoH6R
it was above their pay grade to know why. However, there was one thing that97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcAz4LRm8Z
Ross had said that played over and over in his mind. There was a traitor within97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8yUG0kqXd
the Blades.
He didn’t know how Ross found that97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhGF4Ct3mH
out, but he wasn’t one to disregard warnings, not if it had come from him. They97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguA3J3bCAV
had done business in the past and in the beginning, he had been skeptical, but97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueu2NuVJ5k
Ross’s warnings and advice almost always came true. He would be an idiot not to97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO7IwrnWuk
take the warning seriously, but for the life of him he couldn’t figure out who97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K3jqwpZ3p
it could be. Guess if it was going to be easy, he wouldn’t have needed Ross to97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvGt2xzOXo
tell him. He would have to discuss everything he had been told with his97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeayNGe9p6U
grandfather, and the King, tomorrow. For now, he needed rest.
The Inn was quiet by the time the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhLtTGdNKS
two of them arrived back. Not even Julianna the workaholic was awake, the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTUxTE2yKL
embers in the fireplace gave off little more than a slight glow. The two of97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLtBxZzswE
them slowly walked up the stairs being careful not to disturb the sleepers.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUCJC1yJUK
When they got to their room, he pushed the door open, and Shea trotted inside.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEEWMMinTQ
She sniffed around for a moment before jumping up on the bed, finding her spot,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4fT6zdmDx
then curling up into a ball. He followed suit shortly after, crawling under the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI7gaYC74p
covers and passing out almost immediately.
When he awoke, he knew he was97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7claLak34c
somewhere else. It was the cold air that surrounded him or the sight of weeping97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh2BKFFoiO
cobblestone. No, it was the smell of rot and decay. Looking around he saw97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAKp42ii1O
himself standing in a dimly lit chamber that was cylindrical. There were97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJrtJYIvSh
torches above his heads, and they were so close he could reach up and touch97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu79QvenIfd
them. Curiously, in the dead center of the room was a podium which was holding97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ848mIcE2kf
a book. Walking over to it, he realized it was in a language he didn’t97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP9WqoKHQX
recognize. As he reached out to touch it, a cough woke him up from his trance.
“I wouldn’t touch that if I were97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ln4cqGGNM
you.” an elderly voice spoke. Facing the sound of the voice, Vander spotted97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYibwWamqvU
an old man white long white hair chained to the wall. There was a slight97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqd404SfGn
radiant aura coming from within the body, but it was weak, barely alive.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGnNOE7Psg
Instinctively he knew who it was even though it was hard to believe.
“Veyar.” Vander bowed his head97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTOLqGa5md
before dropping down to one knee. “Are you the one who summoned me?” The97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqI0QIVDSJ
old man nodded his head. “Why? Where are we?”
“I do not know.” Veyar97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjXUcu4YLd
admitted. Vander found that hard to believe. The father of all the deities knew97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gIrGsJJ4b
everything, at least he was supposed to. “I was brought here unconscious, I97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqimCCyCwF
had no idea I had even been taken until I woke up chained to these walls, my97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHl5lcGOIM
power stripped from my body.”
“Do you need me to free you?”97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig8CYKsULM
Vander asked. He suddenly felt very foolish as Veyar went through back his head97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZK64FoREv
and laughed.
“There is nothing you can do for97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8gBNRf1ob
me here but thank you for offering.” The deity looked amused. “I have97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Br0H4rf3
brought you here to deliver a warning. You are in great danger as is everyone97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiZMUPVPD0
around you. Keep hold of your secret, tell no one, or all will be lost.” Vander97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6WjbKxqV1
was confused.
“Who is after me?” He asked.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk3ohUFAvd
Veyar craned his head as if he were listening for someone.
“There is no time, he will be here97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6HdNNb0ZD
soon.” He sounded afraid. “Beware the false sun, Vander. Beware.” Before he could ask anything else, Vander’s97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc6i0iFKSQ
sight went dark.
He bolted up out of bed dripping97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnhW38QFon
with sweat. Shea was still snoring next to him oblivious to what had happened97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P9Vwzsxdj
during the night. He wouldn’t have believed it happened if he didn’t smell the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUBMc061WG
power lingering in the air. Veyar was supposedly the strongest of the Deities,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuzmF1dQLy
his equal was Imitae, so how had he been captured and why couldn’t he escape? All97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwvNK6UUaW
these questions, but the one that mattered most was who was after him. He was97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd67ZjDTUs
told to ‘beware the false sun’, it wasn’t much to go on. He would just have to97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7oQ5h5bDn
file it away under ‘mysteries’ and leave it at that.
He swung his feet out from under97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6kpPOLc2o
the covers placing them on the cool floor. Azta hasn’t risen yet, but the sky97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFmDoZSfO5
was turning a bright pink. He had only been asleep for a few hours, but despite97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WkwdjQQD7
how he felt, he had work to do. Today was the day he was supposed to train the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCNS1bzrJy
recruits. Hopefully Alex had got them ready, and they would be waiting for him97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lxn5lvtJO
by the time he arrived at the castle grounds.
He left Shea sleeping on the bed.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQqzSxoFIV
She didn’t like getting up early if she didn’t have to and Julianna would take97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSeywMo6xE
care of her while he was gone. He slipped on his uniform, clipped his sword to97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXqfPqhDuM
his belt and left.
Dawn was the time of day when Unna97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0frVm0e3B7
was her weakest. Hunters, especially animals, were most active at night to97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGv6fxNnfb
hunt, fuck, and whatever it is they did during the night. It was now when97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKGnVdeERU
Vander was at his calmest, when her powers deep inside of him slumbered. He was97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKG4ExMueF
capable of rational thought and not letting those powers cloud his judgement.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxiNbozFcp
This was also when he was at his weakest. Without the strength of her powers,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfQkINjCek
he was close to defenseless, which was all someone needed to take him out.
He was blindsided from the alley97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJsoEKkbQt
next to him. Someone grabbed him by the arm and threw him against the building.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoz9W7sqs4
Vander brought his arm up to block the next strike, but it snaked past his guard97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAb1HIXQgv
hitting him in the stomach. He doubled over in pain, but that was short lived.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevzgAAdKqV
Someone wrenched his neck back and his arms were pulled behind him. He tried to97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzmXpzVuRn
stand, but someone kicked out his knees bringing him down.
“The hell do you want?” He hissed97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIw8Iz6JHe
out in pain. He could smell three distinctive scents, but he had a feeling97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeV06lMktO
there were a couple of more where he couldn’t see them.
“Is this him?” Someone said, a97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2Ios2koad
woman. There was nothing distinct about her, not that he could tell with his97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5odx8cOTt7
weakening powers.
“Not sure.” Someone said, a male97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFx7Jc599i
this time. “I expected more of a fight from him. But he has the look we were97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6Sg8KClAE
told about.”
“Even if it’s not, kill him.” A97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjZiM5W65A
third person said. “Better safe than sorry.” He heard a knife being drawn from97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj82TxlRHjb
a sheath.
“Nothing personal.” The woman97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1kIm2b1k6
said. Vander let out a deep guttural growl and lunged forward. Whoever was97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13maVXRla5
holding his arms didn’t do a good job. He was startled by the sudden savagery97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoDSqhUR91
Vander showed that he didn’t keep a good grip allowing him to slip through. He97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQiNyBRvSX
attacked the woman in front of him, hitting her jaw, sending her sprawling97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvGtkGOUDK
backwards. As he suspected, two people jumped out from the shadows drawing97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsby0cUvrbY
wicked looking scimitars as Vander charged them. However, he was too quick. He97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxf2A0Kgfy
slammed the hilt of one back into the sheath then using the momentum to kick97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TwS3kCVus
the other one in the jaw knocked him unconscious. He landed behind the other97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00EgNksRkk
one and drew a knife from his belt holding it against their throat.
“Who are you?” He shouted. He97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAUjMZIAdZ
pressed the dagger against the assassin’s throat drawing blood with the edge.
“You ruined our plan.” Vander felt97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhNA3aWzBL
as though the man he was holding was grinning. “Now you will pay.” The man97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaTrXN2vH3
grabbed Vander’s arm and pushed the knife deeper into his own neck. He gurgled97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWddyCCSzln
mouthfuls of blood before falling to his knees, dying. Vander quickly drew his97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJVDffXaQl
sword as three knives covered with poison flew headed straight for his chest.
He knocked two of the knives away,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7IE5syvV9
spinning out into the darkness. The third he grabbed by the handle and threw it97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIoCJNtPJ5
back at the sender. She yelled out with a scream and crumbled to the ground. One97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDynQeSLtM
of the assassins drew their scimitar and lunged at him. Vander brought his97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38qAZQDHZa
weapon up to counter the strike. He parried and slashed, forcing the assailant97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcQyuWPJye
on his back foot. The assailant lunged forward attempting to take Vander97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRbBdadJr9
through the side, but he dodged sideways. The momentum carried the man into97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6zvdd9K1x
range of Vander’s sword which decapitated him spraying blood everywhere.
“Then there were two.” Vander97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMSR4hykUc
smiled. He wiped the blood from his sword eyeing the man in front of him. He97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhtQlL2ieh
was tending to the woman who had the poisoned knife embedded in her arm. He97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWscBztNod9
crushed something in his hand then dripped it into her throat. Her face visibly97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJw1HFh0XH
relaxed as he ripped the knife from her arm.
“You are a lot stronger than we97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBG9f0N9wZ
were told.” The man said, cradling the woman in his arms as he stood. “This is97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP53pWAViH
your victory.” The man Vander had kicked slowly got to his feet. His breath was97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbilyPamen
labored. He had likely broken a couple of ribs.
“You attack me, and you think I’ll97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbsb6JMbno
let you go?” Vander laughed. “You’re sadly mistaken. You will die here, and I97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN5LzgLv49
will take that girl with me for interrogation.” The man behind him rushed97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTnQfizyqf
forward, grabbed Vander around the neck with his arm. Vander brought his arm97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN00O6miOzV
back, nailing him in his already broken ribs, causing him to cough up blood.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzfJrBXDjl
However, he did not let go.
“Run, I’ll hold him back.” He spoke.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELJz0wtbVx
The assassin nodded his head then jumped onto the windowsill of the building97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57WrfjBOlS
next to us then crawled out of sight. Vander knew he could catch him, but he97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xhVhABVNs
would have to get rid of this guy first.
“Get off me.” Vander snapped. He97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUC5sIcap9
brought his head back crushing the nose of the assassin then he grabbed his97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz7AJgGZU3
head then threw him overhead. His back slammed onto the ground and before he97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLQ5vRGqoP
could rise, Vander nailed him in the jaw knocking him out. “Shit.” He had97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbvW9xZDVr
wasted too much time and in this current state he wouldn’t be able to chase the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64wC8pH48B
two of them. So, he leaned up against the wall and waited for backup to arrive.
Someone must have called the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZLkgsCGSe
guards because they arrived ten minutes later, which allowed Vander to catch97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPKDLesosK
his breath and think about what had just happened. Based on the way they were97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZbr2CHVKP
talking; someone had put a hit out on him It seemed to be the same group that97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oLzyczfMA
had killed Nigel after he had been discovered. There was no proof to that97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AbrYoLilt
claim, but based on the fact they were using the same style of weapons, including97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP58Iwakfw
poison, and their style seemed to be ambush, it was likely them. However, were97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQRIJWRqoE
they Green Serpents or another group entirely? He would have to wait for97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoizck3MsH
sleeping beauty to wake up first, but before that. He opened the unconscious97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARImr7dcIw
assassin’s mouth and rooted around until he found what he was looking for. He97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpmJ31dflD
ripped out a fake tooth with a poison capsule hiding inside.
Assassins were97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJWqElEVTr
all the same.
“Sir?” Vander looked up to see97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkNfN1Tw9H
Jeffery Jilena standing there surrounded by other soldiers. “The hell happened97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c43mprH6b
here?” The sun had come up and was about halfway to noon which meant he had97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT23TBrAbyr
been sitting here for hours. In his daze he wouldn’t have noticed if the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohrvWEn7DZ
assassin had escaped, but he was lucky he was still out like a light.
“An assassination attempt.” Vander97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IiEhf9oGA
accepted the hand the young Captain held out for him, helping him up to his97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHaYjqmcxI
feet. “I got three of them, but two of them escaped. I would have followed97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapv0zcs7gz
them, but I haven’t had a solid rest in days and I’m weakest at dawn.”
“You did enough.” Jeffery nodded.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65JxHFEUnl
He walked over to the still breathing assassin then bent down to check him out.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyNTLzhSlg
“This one is still alive.”
“Bring him to the dungeons.”97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUytuD80gWC
Vander smirked. “I want to interrogate him myself. And bring this to Doctor97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaLHrkgmaO
Lohsyn.” He dropped the capsule into Jeffery’s hand. “Don’t let anyone eat it97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJs83Y5C0J
or drop it. I need to know what it’s made from.”
“I will handle it myself.” Jeffery97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz7shle3Zh
clutched it to his chest and bowed his head. “You two.” He turned and snapped97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOyHyuCyti
at two of the soldiers standing nearby. “Take this man to the dungeons. Give97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv9wkhdFFF
him food and water, but nothing else. Chain him, make sure he can’t even piss97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvefM2k5P4O
without help. Am I clear?”
“Yes sir!” the two guards saluted.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm0jb676NW
They picked up the unconscious assassin and hauled him away. Jeffery had two97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCsh4QEicH
other guards follow just incase the man tried to make a break for it. The other97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWYofRrW4j
bodies would be sent to Lohsyn as well for an autopsy. After dealing with all97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl0vNgLjCC
those details, he headed towards the castle.
The castle was finishing up the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJY3OlQsM2
decorations for the prince’s arrival and it looked stunning. The windows were97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuzE6YIhIi
draped with blues and reds to represent both countries and people. Bernard really97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogxDrOPbHD
took his job seriously. Vander walked past the man and into the castle. A few97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuR8sdWuPH
minutes later he was standing in front of the King’s door and knocked.
“Come in.” The King’s voice97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqoPbhjLYF
boomed. Vander turned the knob and headed inside.
Malcolm was at his desk looking97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJlG3gO1JP
over some papers. He was wearing a blue collared shirt that was unbuttoned showing97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiaiMjwNZT
off the upper part of his chest. There was a gold chain hanging around his neck97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh73WbCall
with a sapphire gemstone hanging from it. His black rimmed glasses slid down97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukeLIIiNy5
his nose, resting just above the fall.
“You look like shit Vander.”97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxe026WU17
Malcolm stood up motioning towards the seat in front of him. “Is that blood on97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgasqCDNimr
you?”
“It’s been a rough morning.”97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIcGcNQ0Or
Vander shed his jacket then hung it up by the door. He didn’t want to get blood97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxz4FQUCHZ
on the carpet. “Jumped by a couple of assassins on my way to train my recruits.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljkuNK49HK
Kill two, knocked out one, and two escaped.”
“Do you wish to be seen by Topal?”97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiFfmv0O4o
Malcolm asked.
“I really just want to fucking97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKAyCqANOf
sleep.” His eyes grew heavy.
“Rest here, no one will bother97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeYUcoBk2U
you.” The King smiled. “The couch is very comfortable. Much better than the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE6DbSbpoh
chair.”
“I’ll rest in a moment.” Vander97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy4D8JazjL
sighed. “I came here to tell you about my meeting with my source. He gave me97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DVyuduVKN
the name of the organization who poisoned you. The Green Serpents.” Upon97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptkaDJML5e
hearing the name, Malcolm froze.
“Are you sure that’s what he97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbrG1rDB2J
said?”
“Yea,” Vander nodded. “Ross is97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu6HIWdYJw
trustworthy, his advice has never let me down before.”
“Shit.” Vander was shocked, he had97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt9kxOhjMQ
never heard the King curse before. He got up from his desk and went to stand by97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCY7eVwZFB
the window. Despite being in a coma for months, he seemed to be quite healthy.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0caFxjmUq
He couldn’t help but wonder where all that stamina came from.
“Are you alright?” Vander asked.
“If it’s the Serpents we are in97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6nvaGEVB7
trouble.” The King ran his fingers through his hair. “I will have to talk to97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0NWH421l2
Peyton and your grandfather before saying anything else.” He turned around to97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNXlz2qCTE
look at Vander. “I just received word that Warden Drayson will be here later97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO90g48zs0
this afternoon. We will have her forces and some of our back to beef up97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmANxOGefjk
security. I want you to oversee protection.”
“Are you sure?” Vander asked. “I97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dP0TJiJTo
don’t think I’m experienced enough for something like that.”
“I trust you as does your97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfDtEZo5qF
grandfather.” Malcolm smiled. “You’ll do fine. Is there anything else I should97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GwJ5EwSgJ
know?”
“Ross can help me find where the97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcALBGDdLgz
Serpents are hiding.” Vander sighed. “But the price is steep, it can’t be paid97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxNFFlrwAc
with money.”
“I trust your judgement.” Malcolm97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOan8N3EOBn
walked over then squeezed Vander’s shoulder. “Now get some rest. I’ll wake you97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r6IwOra1b
when it’s time.” Nodding his appreciation, Vander headed towards the couch97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pZrvliee8
where he promptly passed out.
