Very early the next morning Bond rode into the house of lord Monroe after receiving the message that he should report to the house that day.

Monroe was already waiting for his arrival, full of anger in his spirit. So as he was greeted by Bond who came down from the horses he had rode in with. He said, "Who did it happen?!"

Bond did not understand the question because he had no idea that Jacob had been executed. His whole thought was that he was only in prison and he was working towards releasing him. "My lord, forgive me but I do not know what you are talking about?"

"How dare you say you don't know what I am talking about?!" Monroe wanted to act violently but Wagner, who was close to him, held him, telling him to take things slowly, and he kind of listened to his commander.

"How was Jacob caught and killed?" Wagner asked him as Monroe was not in the mood to ask that question again.

"Jacob was caught but he is still alive. I am even working towards setting him free."

    Before the day which they are to meet, Byron had already informed his men about the coming of Sebastian to his city so they were fully prepared, waiting for him to come. It came to pass when Sebastian arrived at the gate of Byron's house with a few men from his city, they were welcomed very well and escorted down to the hall where Byron was already waiting for him."You are here." Byron stands up to welcome him as he is brought in by his men. They shaked hands with each other and Sebastian and his men were asked to sit down. Byron then told those that had brought him to leave, so he was now with Alan and Quincy from his military with Sebastian and the seven men he had come with. Byron was very observant to see that Sebastian had not come there with his commander Erwin, but he did not bother to ask why because he already drew the conclusion why it was so. It only proves to him that Sebastian had left his commander to lead an attack if he did not return. So the only question he asked

    He made a very clear point here and Sebastian was able to read this and understand him. It was something he failed to know or realize. But then he knew that there was more to what Byron had said. He could tell that there was something Byron did not want to tell him. "You know something you are not telling me, what is it?""Something like what? All I know is what I have told you.""No Byron, we are not kids. There is something you don't want to tell me.""Since we are not kids and you are sure of this, then I'd say It's better you figure it out by yourself. Try to find out why we won't be able to kill ourselves in this fight no matter how long it lasts."Then Sebastian had to think over what he had heard from Byron. He tried to know what Byron refused to tell him and the only he could derive as a reason was that the gods did not want any of them dead, so all attempts being made by either of them was all in vain."I think I have gotten all I need to know from you, so I should be on my w

    As Gabriel, Enoch, Riggs, Gross and Colin continue the journey with this determination of scaling through without losing another person. They heard the sound of an army reallying towards them. It was like an army of orcs.With the way the army was coming after them, it was certain that what they had run from did not stop to chase them. "The orcs, they have tracked our smell." Colin said even though he knew that the others should be aware of this.So they thought of what to do because the army coming from behind was a great one that the five of them would be unable to defend."Look! There is a cave over there." Enoch shouted pointing towards the cave which he had sighted some distance away from them."That is not a good idea, Enoch," Gross said as he remembered what they went through in the first cave which they entered.But the other three were in support of going into the cave, because they saw it as a better option than fighting the army of orcs which was after them.They did not p

    The five then had to split themselves as they drew near to the beast, even though it was like something that had died, they wanted to make sure it was dead so that it would not come after them.As the beast saw them split, its intention of taking them with it died, but yet it had to make an attempt even if it is one of them that it will kill. So it watched Gabriel and Colin who were coming close from the part which it could see, and as it calculated that they were now close enough, it had to move its tail but to its greatest surprise, it could not feel the weight of the tail. Gross, who had completely turned round to its back, had separated the tail from its body because from their observations during the fight against the orcs, that tail of its was the major weapon against the orcs and if it was not there, there would not have been any way it would defeat the orcs.Then the beast quit its pretense, turning to see why it could not feel the tail only to see that it had no tail again.

    So the three trolls looked at themselves as they then bent to feed them the fruits all in the name of medicine. While giving Riggs, Gabriel and Colin the fruits. Enoch said, "Why not lose our hands so that we will have ourselves, after all our legs are still tied and we won't run. You can watch us if you want?"Then the trolls stupidly agreed and lose their hands for them to eat by themselves while they watched them.So the five men smiled in their hands as they began to eat the fruits which they called medicine. While they were eating, they were also losing their legs secretly until they were free."How long will it take you to finish your medicine?""Oh, we are done." Gabriel said as he stood up, then the others did the same, making the troll angry as they came after them.But they were a little bit small compared to the troll and much faster than the trolls so they made sure that none of them got caught again because they had remembered that it was after one of them and threatened

    As he met Colin on the ground, he was shocked why he was that way, because he did not seem to be injured or unable to walk. "What is Colin?" He helped him to his feet.Then Colin pointed at the thing he was looking at, "Gabriel look."As Gabriel looked at it, he too was attracted to it so he drew close to take it with him."I already tried taking it but it won't allow me...."Colin was still speaking when Gabriel took it off the wall with ease but instead the house began to shake as if it was about to collapse and they both ran as fast as they could to the exit. It already began to collapse with Riggs, Enoch and Gross panicking when the two of them ran out to the house panting heavily.As they came out, joy filled the heart as they hugged the two of them, then the house finally reached to the ground. It was a very surprising thing to them that a house which was looking very strong, though old, collapsed that way."What happened?" Gross had to ask as he suspected that there was somethi

    Ever since Sebastian Peyton of Gilroy returned from his visit to the house of Byron Hass of Mayca, he had been in thoughts concerning the things that Byron told him. So the only thing going through his mind was calling for a meeting and telling the others what Byron had said. But something in him kept telling him that it was only luck that had made none of the generals to die in the course of this unending war. He was also having the feeling that with time, he would kill the other generals or compel them to allow him ascend the throne.After all his contemplation for days and weeks, he finally decided to make this call for a meeting. And the other general heed to his call at the usual place of meeting."Why had you called for this meeting, Sebastian Peyton?" Monroe asked as they all arrived, standing face to face with one another."There is something that has been bothering me for weeks now, and I saw the need to tell us about it.""Go ahead, we are listening." "I hope it is worth co

    Chapter 196. A new era.

    When the signing and positioning of the generals were done, four eldest men of Tadeas, one from each city each stood out to make the announcement of who the new king will be, for it was a tradition in Tadeas that the eldest men from each city will come together to put the crown on the head of every new king, and they will pray him before and after doing this, asking that the gods will grant them the wisdom to lead the country in the right and appropriate way that will be pleasing to the whole nation.So the elders held their hands together as they prayed for the crown and the throne, asking that it would not control the king but rather the king should control it. Afterwards, they called forth Dylan Ryan, who the whole people had gathered to watch him being crowned.While he walked up to meet these men, he looked at Gabriel and was surprised that he hadn't brought out the scepter yet, so his mind was beginning to calm down, as he inhaled and exhaled rapidly while climbing up to the thr

    Chapter 195. Coronation day.

    In the city of Mayca, at the house of Byron Haas, the message which Sebastian had sent by means of his raven bird got to the soldiers at the gate, and they took it out from the bird, letting it fly back to its city.They knew that every message that came to them by that means and pattern was for lord Byron Haas so they did not bother checking it to confirm who it was for before sending it to Byron, who was still making arrangements for the next day's event. "My lord, there is a message for you." The guard said as he came before Byron.Then she turned and looked at the soldier before asking, "Who is it from?""Lord Sebastian of Gilroy."Then he took the note from his hand to read its contents only to see the inscription that it was not for him, rather it was for Gabriel. So he said to the soldier that had brought. "Take this to Gabriel, he is the one it's for and not me." Then he took it as he confirmed whether it was for Gabriel, before apologizing. "I'm sorry my lord, I thought it

    Chapter 194. Sensing failure.

    In the city of Cyb, as the day for the coronation of Dylan Ryan drew closer than ever, that was the same his curiosity and anxiety grew the most. He was not as happy as he ought to be because he was still unable to figure out the plan which Byron and Gabriel had. Even though he had made sure his army was strong enough to defend him in case of violence, he still feared that there would not be any march for the plan that Byron had made.His greatest anger was that he had no power backing him up this time and even with the warning of the spirit of the witch, he still did not want to as she had told him. He was bent on winning by all means, but he could already sense failure in the plan he had made.Sensing failure was not still enough to tell him to give up the throne, a greater part of him was telling him that there was no plot against him being crowned king over Tadeas, because his spies had not brought any word telling him such, it was still a presumption in his heart there was a plan

    Chapter 193. Regrets.

    Byron had to speak again, "For the last time, we don't have any plan of which we need your help for it to succeed. In short, there is no plan at all to stop the coronation. Since you and Monroe Howard have refused to come to the realization that Gabriel is the only king Tadeas should have at this point, then he would not fight for any throne. On the day of the coronation, as the country will match to watch Dylan Ryan ascend the throne, that is the same way Gabriel and I along with my men will match to witness the king who you have refused to oppose ascend the throne.""But I am telling you right here that I confess Gabriel as my king and I'm ready to do anything to make sure he ascends the throne in his father's stead."Then Gabriel chose to test him since he had made so much pleading and claims that he is now a new person. "To prove to me that you are not the same as you used to be, you will have to take me to the place where you buried my father. I am quite aware that it was you and

    Chapter 192. Trustworthy.

    So Byron had to come in without allowing him to go further. "Yes, that reminds me, did you tell Monroe about it? And what was his response?""No, I did not tell him about this because he does not know anything about this, so I did not see the need to disturb him with it because he would not understand a signal word that will come from my mouth.""That means you literally have not done anything about what you know that will lead this country to its doom?""Yes. I did not do anything because there is nothing I can single handedly do. I asked for your help yet you did not consent to it. Meaning that you do not want to do anything about it so I also have to forget about doing anything concerning it. So that we will both watch the country be destroyed because that is what you want by not wanting to help me in confronting Dylan to forfeit his interest."Sebastian was really doing a great job at this point to convince Byron into believing that he was a changed person who would want to see Ga

    Chapter 191. Pure lies.

    Byron could see that Sebastian had a point in the two things that he had suspected concerning why they were there in his city, but none of them was correct, so he chose to tell him the reason why he had come into Gilroy but did not get to his house, whether he believes it or not. "Well, I do not doubt your thoughts. You are very justified to think that way but then I have to tell you that none of what you said is correct, nor is it even close to the true reason why we were in your lands.""Then speak up. Tell me why you were there and why you returned?""Of course I will. Actually, we were coming to speak to you, but not concerning what you told us. Instead, it is because of what we heard and needed to know the truth. But before we got to your house, we received word that the reason why we were coming there was already settled, so we had to turn around.""Lies! Pure lies.""It's not a lie.""Then prove it. Prove to me that what you have said about your reason to come into Gilroy is no

    Chapter 190. Quiting pretense.

    Gabriel was not in haste to respond to him as he discerned what he was trying to do. He kept silent as those with him also realized what Monroe was trying to do and they could now see with their own eyes that Monroe deserved to pay for all that he had done.Just as Gabriel was finally about to say something in response to the question that Monroe had asked, Wagner entered into the hall again with the five men he had gone to call for Gabriel and his company."These are the men you seek?" Wagner said.All their attention shifted to theen that had been brought before them. Then Byron said as he suspected something far different from what Monroe had been telling them since they arrived there. "I know you very well Monroe, you are quick to anger and will never let such crime go unpunished, so tell me, why haven't you asked for the execution of these men?" Monroe was dumbfounded, even Wagner that had called them there, what Byron had said was exactly what Monroe Howard would do if he truly

    The other people were still down, they did not bother stressing themselves to climb up with him because they knew that he would still come down and when he did, they would know what he was up to.As they saw him coming down with the rate he was using and Enoch following him, they blocked him from walking pass through as they predicted what he was about to do."Gabriel, not now. The right time for this is near." Byron said to him."Please, let me pass. Monroe has done more than enough to be forgiven.""But I just told you that he was not the one that sent his men to abduct me. They acted on their own will without hearing from their master." Abby reminded him of what she had told them earlier."You can never trust that man. Maybe it was a plan which he made with his men, even if it wasn't, he still wants me dead and I have to kill him before he kills me.""Yes, we know, but this is not time, let's give him a little more time to make amends and if he doesn't then we shall execute him."

    Then they were happy, thinking that he had thought about what they told him concerning using Abby to get Gabriel to come there. So they stopped and looked at him."Untie her." He commanded. So they loosed the ropes used to tie her hands, also the blindfold was taken off including the mouth which had been covered. Then she could see lord Monroe Howard and she knew that he was innocent of the crime which his men had done because she had heard what he said to them.When she was now loose, Monroe said to her. "What is your name, young lady?""My name is Abby, my lord.""Abby, please forgive my men, they had acted stupidly. I did not give the order to bring you here, instead they had acted on their own will and I am greatly against it. They will take you back home safely. I am truly sorry for the stress it has put you through.""It's okay my lord. Thank you for not adhering to their suggestions. You have proved yourself to be a man of honor and good standard."
