Paths to destiny. Chapter 136. The price.
With the question Byron asked him back, Sebastian could not justify himself. It was the city and environment of Byron so he was the one to decide how to welcome his guest. Thus the best thing he could do was to apologize, "I'm sorry Byron Haas, forgive my manners.""Better." Byron replied, still not considering that they were standing and it was improper to keep him standing. "Now go ahead with what you have come here to tell me?"Sebastian was shocked, he was thinking that after apologizing, Byron would ask him to follow him inside, but since he did not do so, he had to state his purpose for coming and not provoke Byron any further else he might not get the thing that had brought him there. "I came to plead for some information. I am willing to pay handsomely for it. Whatever be the cost."Byron knew from how he spoke that Sebastian had come to ask for something very important and valuable, and for him to want to pay no matter the cost, it therefore means that what he wanted was pric
Paths to destiny. Chapter 137. Come with me.
Despite the time in which Sebastian left the city of Mayca, Byron, Alan and Quincy still proceeded with the journey which they were about to embark on before his arrival. They did not waste any further time, as they went back into the house, Byron told his wife to take charge while he was gone as he also set some people who will assist her, whom the rest of the soldiers will be taking commands from until they return. So they sat on the horsebacks and off they went, running with great speed out of the environment.As they left, Abby arrived at the gate. She had the feeling to come over to his place but she was late because he had already left. When she met Byron's wife of Byron instead, she asked. "My lady, I am here to see lord Byron. Where is he?""Is there any problem?""No. But I want to see him, I just had the instinct to see him.""Lord Byron just left not long ago.""Where was he heading to?" Aria could not answer that question even though she knew that Abby was not an enemy.
Paths to destiny. Chapter 138. The way forward?
Byron had an answer to this question instantly and he said it without delays. "You are right, I haven't checked the other cities properly but in one way or another, I have searched those cities. Checking the cities properly is going to be a very difficult task since we are still fighting ourselves. If the other generals realize that I am patrolling their city in search of someone, they will definitely seek to know who it is that I am looking for and your instruction to me was to keep my knowledge away from the others. So I presume you have a better way by which I could patrol these cities without being a suspect?""Hm-hmm," he cleared his throat as if he wanted to tell Byron what he was asking for.But to the great surprise of Byron and his two men, he kept silent after clearing his throat, so he had to speak again, "I thought you were about to say something?""Something like what?""The way forward? I just asked how you expect me to investigate the other cities without being seen as

The captain got very provoked by that sentence, it was more of a threat to him than what his men saw it as. So he wanted to bounce on the seer to prove his words wrong.But at the moment he was about to strike the seer, they could hear a banging on the door, so the captain held back from his action, looking at the seer as he still wore those annoying smiles. Then he asked him, "Who is that? Were you expecting any visitors?""Do not expect me to answer that question, right? Open the door and see for yourself those who are there.""I'm sure you know who is there so tell us before we open the door." The captain said as his men got alerted for whoever was at the door.It was Byron, Alan and Quincy that had returned, they did not know what exactly that caused them to come back but they needed to see the seer again before departing finally. When they heard the threatening words from inside the house, they did not wait again for the door to be open or for them to be asked in before pushing t
Paths to destiny. Chapter 140. Still working on it.
When they had come back to the city of Mayca. Aria sent men to go and call Abby to the house so that she could talk with Byron on whatever she wanted to tell him.Since it was late, Abby waited till the next morning before coming down to the house Byron.Early the next morning, when Byron was discussing with Quincy and Abby about the things that the seer had told them, most especially concerning the people whom the seer said have been shown who their next king would be. That was when Aria came and said. "Sorry for intruding, but Abby wants to speak with you. She was here a few minutes after you left for the seer's place.""Let her come in," Byron said as he suspended the discussion he was having with his men."Greetings my lord," she bowed her head as she entered."Please sit," Byron offered her. "I was told this is not the first time you are coming?""Yes, I was here three days ago but you were not in the city. I heard you embark on a journey.""Yes.""So how was your journey? What n

Back to the journey, after Gabriel had taken time to think of the next direction for them to take, he came to conclude that they took the South since they did not know where they were even after looking at the map for a long period of time. It took over twenty four hours of thinking, resting and staring at the map before he could come up with this direction.So since they had gotten a very quality time of rest, they all rose to their feet at the moment when he mentioned that they were to go south. They had been waiting for him to give the command and it seemed to have taken forever before he made the statement.They picked their swords, fastened their belts and pressed on with the journey.After several hours of walking, they seem to start having a clue where they were, and Gross became the first to speak up since he could no longer keep his thoughts to himself. "I don't know if I am the only one, but I think we are still here in the underworld.""Me too, I am having the same thought.

Now he could no longer endure this nor could he continue in his pretense of being a human being. So his appearance changed from the friendly face of Colin which they knew to the face of a beast and he attacked them. His speed was twice that of theirs.It was now at the point of his attack that they had to use the swords which they wanted to leave outside the gate to the underworld.They were smart, working hand in hand as they defended themselves against the beast behind Colin.The fight lasted for several hours before without them doing any damage to him. He was the one beating them as he threw them to the ground. But no matter how many times they were knocked down, they would always get up again with speed and continue the fight. They noticed that his major target was Gabriel, while he was knocking the others to the ground, he focused on making sure that Gabriel was killed. It was obvious to them that this time Gabriel was the main target but they must defend him since he was the o

Since the opportunity to ask questions has been given to them. Gabriel had to ask the first question that flashed his mind. It appeared to be the exact thing which the others should be thinking. "But my lord, I thought we were coming to face and pass your test? How come is it that you have come to us in this manner instead of the manner we were thinking of?"Those were crucial questions. It was one of the things which the god was expecting them to ask, but he did not think it would be the first question. All the same, the question had been raised and it must be answered since he was the one that asked for it. "I will start by telling you that your thoughts are not our thoughts.""Does that mean we will no longer face any test from you?" Enoch asked. He was desperate to know because wanted that one to be off his mind."Yes and no.""We don't understand. Please explain better.""You have passed the test which I have for you. Several tests have been passed without you knowing.""How?!" t

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."

Chapter 188. Abby's release.
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." "Once again, congratulation
