When they had come to the house of Sebastian Payton, Monroe was presented before him. Sebastian said to Monroe. "Thank goodness my men were able to save you. When they told me about Dylan's plan to eliminate you before the duel, I had to ask them to rescue you from death."Monroe smiled at Sebastian, because he knew that he was saying that thing only to convince him of the lie which his men had already told. "Can you ask you men to leave us."Sebastian was shocked that despite what he was saying, Monroe was making a request instead of appreciating him for what he had done. Erwin and the soldiers that had brought him there were also shocked because of the words that came out of Monroe's mouth.Well, Sebastian had to signal his men to leave apart from Erwin, his commander."Erwin too should leave us.""What?!" Erwin exclaimed.Sebastian knew that he had a reason for making that request and he signaled Erwin to also excuse them."My lord....." Erwin wanted to speak because he did not bel

Then Dylan turned to Wagner, "I am sure you know the people that took your master, so I want you to talk immediately. Tell us where they are and what Monroe's plan is.""I swear, I don't know who they are and what they are up to.""Will you stop lying? They are soldiers from your city, right?""I don't know but I think so.""Then you know where they will be taking him to.""No, I don't. Even my master was shocked when they came to take him. He had ill feelings about them but had to follow them. They promised that we will meet tomorrow at the location for the duel.""I see.... and what if they don't show up?""I believe they will. They gave me their words and my master, too, he would show up for the duel. He promised."Dylan had nothing much to say to him concerning this, "Well, I shall take your words for now, but come tomorrow, you shall tell the other generals this thing which you have told me if peradventure your master does not show up. And probably, you shall fight in his stead b

Dylan was shocked by what happened, he did not see it coming. He could not believe that the spell which he had used to hole them had been broken. But then he could not stress on it much because his eyes were seeing clearly that Ceevah had been lost over to Monroe again. So he turned and left for his city. Byron and Sebastian were amazed at what they had seen, but they could not say anything about it. Byron also had to leave with his men. As Monroe watched and saw that both Dylan and Byron were gone a good distance, he then looked to Sebastian. "I warned you but you would not listen. I am better in that thing which you think you know best. But I will still say thank you for sacrificing your men to bring me out." "But how? How did you do it?" Sebastian had to ask because he was still very confused and needed to know how Wagner cooked such a believing lie and convinced everybody. "I told you to learn from the best." That was the only response he could give to him before turning away

After much consideration on the decision he was asked to make for the four of them, Enoch looked at each of their faces as he seemed to read what they would want to do, and from what he was seeing on their faces, they all wanted to continue with the journey instantly so that it would end that journey and see if they would return home. Even Enoch himself was of the same mindset with them, he wanted the journey to come to an end faster since they had stayed so long on it. They had even lost count on how long they had been on the journey, but they knew that they've spent a very long time.So he said, "We should continue. In the next five hours we should come to our destination. It is better we wait there than to wait here."Gabriel, Gross and Riggs were happy that he chose that decision, it was the exact thing on their mind as they chorused, "So be it."Then they got back on their feets and moved on to the location they were heading for.Two hours into the continuation of this journey,

Gabriel could see the pain in Gross' spirit, but he also saw sorrow in Enoch even if he tried to hide it, so he had to bring them at ease so that they would not end up fighting themselves. "Gross, I can feel your grief, we all are grieved by this. But Enoch, you should have said those words the way you did. You sounded so cruel. Yet Gross, we have to tell ourselves the truth that there is no time for us to mourn for him." He paused, he was neither supporting Gross not Enoch. "We are not sure if he is dead yet. I think he must have been taken home to tell our story to the people and definitely we shall meet him in Tadeas when we go back."Enoch knew that what Gabriel was saying was all lies, they had seen the blood of Riggs that dropped on the ground, even though Gabriel had covered it with dust so that Gross would not see it. He was not comfortable with Gabriel lying to Gross so he wanted to speak up but then he had second thoughts on it and understood what he was trying to do."Yes G
