Paths to destiny. Chapter 144. Sebastian and Dylan.
Now the portal opened again outside the underworld and dropped the four of them before vanishing instantly.When they landed on the ground, they looked around to be sure that they were truly dropped off outside the underworld as the god had promised them. And truly they were before the gate which they had gone in through.Great joy filled their hearts at this point as they dust their bodies. It called for celebration that they had finished surviving the underworld despite the fact that they spent more than a month there. It was at this point that hunger grabbed them because the food which they took into the underworld finished a week after they went in, and they could not take anything that they saw in the underworld because it was for the dead. Never did any of them imagine that they would spend so long in the underworld. It was a common thought that they had to look for what to eat and that was what they did for the next three hours until they managed to catch an animal. It was a m
Paths to destiny. Chapter 145. Warning.
Sebastian was quiet for some time after hearing this. He had to think about it very well, if he would be sitting on the throne yet be taking others from Dylan, then there was no use because he would not be the one ruling the country, it would be Dylan. As a king he would not have any decision of his own. "I see your wisdom being displayed here but I am sorry to tell you that I can't accept that. We have agreed on something openly and that is what we are going to stand by. If you think that you are going to win in whatever way, then you should not panic. Or you are scared because you fear to lose?" Sebastian could not believe him because he feared Byron at that moment because of what Byron knew so there was no way he would do anything to Byron, instead he was going to use his head. Or maybe he was trying to use him as a tool to get rid of Byron because of his knowledge. So he was still focused on finding out what Byron knew."You don't get it Sebastian?" Dylan still tried to influence
Paths to destiny. Chapter 146. He is not ready for the duel.
After he was gone, Byron asked those with him, "Did you get anything?""Nothing yet, my lord." Alan said, he was still thinking and more time.Meanwhile, Quincy was not only thinking of what they said, he was trying to weigh what the seer told them about everything being in the hands of Byron.After a long time of thinking in quietness, Byron suspected that Quincy had come up with something. "What have you got, Quincy?""I'm not sure," he replied. "I am trying to understand why the seer said everything was in your hand."This when Byron and Alan had to also put this into consideration. For the seer to say that, then it must have something to with what they were talking and planning on. Only if they put it into serious consideration. Then Quincy continued, "I think what the seer was trying to tell us was that we should hasten this process of deciding who will be king so that when we begin to patrol the other cities, they would not see our patrol aimed at finding means to make you king

Both him and Sebastian were surprised at why Byron was asking him to hold on and he had to ask, "What is it, Byron?""You will not be the one to read what you have written in that note.""Why?""If he won't read it, then who will?" Sebastian asked.And Byron answered, "Let's all shuffle our notes amongst ourselves, then we shall read what is written by the other person.""Why do you want us to follow this partner?" Sebastian asked, but he was not comfortable with the suggestion."I do not want a situation where any of us would read something different from what he had written before now because he heard what his neighbor read to be better than what he wrote. So if we are convinced that we have written our minds, then let's do this, it won't cost us anything."His idea was very much welcomed by Dylan, thus, Sebastian had to concur also because he did not want to be the suspect there. So they switched their notes, Sebastian gave his to Byron, and Byron gave his to Dylan and Dylan gave h
Paths to destiny. Chapter 148. Madness or no madness....
So Byron had to speak, "Well, that depends, we have agreed on a duel and you are the one to fight for yourself, so we came to tell you that you should start your preparation. We will meet in the next one week.""That is not possible, you can not decide that without me.""We already decided it before you were caught so we did not decide anything behind you. Start your preparation and get ready for the duel in one week's time.""You are sick. Now that I am in chains, how do you expect me to prepare for this duel?""I shall be providing you with everything you need for your preparation. You have Wagner there with you, you can practice with him. We need to decide who will be king in a fair duel that is why you have been given the chance to take part, not minding the fact that you are in prison.""This is madness." He said to them."Madness or no madness, we have decided and you are not ignorant of it, so begin now to start your training." Byron said his final word before turning around to
Paths to destiny. Chapter 149. Go and win the duel.
After so much consideration on what to ask for, he ended up being more confused. While coming there, he thought she could get as many charms as possible because he really needed them. So he had to ask the witch, "Great one, I am convinced that you see all that I need right now, can you help me make the right decision on which charm to give me because I am very confused on what to decide."The witch said some incantations as looked and touched some of the images and tools in her shrine before answering him, "I am sorry Dylan, it is not in my possession to tell you what you really want even though I know it. I am only permitted to do as you ask me.""And I am asking you for suggestions. Speak to the spirit, I am sure they will permit you to make the choice for me.""They are silent. Maybe you can go back and come again after three days, by then I should have heard from them whether to choose for you or not."Dylan did not have to think over this for more than a minute.

Paths to destiny. Chapter 150. Rescuing Monroe.
When he came back to Cyb, he decided to pay Monroe and Wagner a visit in the cell where he was preparing for the duel. Monroe knew that there was no magic that would make him win the duel because he was in chains. He knew that aside from the duel preparation which they had asked him to get ready for, there was more they were planning, so the winning or losing the duel was not a concern to him. His concern was to fight and come out of prison first, then he would know what to do to whoever wins the duel, so that he would not ascend the throne. So he was training himself for vain seek, just to fulfill all righteousness.When Dylan had come to watch Monroe seriously training for the duel, he smelled because all he was doing was going to be in vain. Little did know that Monroe was convinced that he would not win the duel, instead he was preparing for a better thing that would shock them all."How are you improving in your skills?" Dylan asked him.Then he stopped his training, and looked t
Paths to destiny. Chapter 151. The clock is ticking.
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

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

Chapter 189. I will speak for myself.
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."
