Colin had to join them by sitting on the too, "She told me everything. You never wanted to come home if not that she persuaded you. She spoke of how you vowed never to leave Tadeas, but here you are after she saw you when you escaped from the hand of Byron and his men. Now she has come to persuade you again to return. The country has not been in a good space since you left so you need to go back and fix it.""Did she tell you that I have nobody?""That was then, now you have me.""And me.""We will go with you to Tadeas and help you claim your place. Whereas, you also have Byron Hass and his army. They are for you and are waiting for your return.""That was the same army that caught and held me prisoner in their domain.""They were doing it for your own good. According to what she told me, you would have been killed twice if not for their intervention. Byron has turned from who he was and is now fighting for the throne instead of defending it for you.""Am I to listen to you or my fat
Paths to destiny. Chapter 35. Where is Gabriel?
A few days passed and Gabriel was still thinking about what Abby said to him. Day and night he will be fighting his thoughts but it happened that they were stronger than him this time. He could not take his mind off it.So very early one fateful morning which he had agreed to hunting with Enoch and Colin. He was pushed to write a note for them and then leave the town for Tadeas.When the sun had risen and his friends came so that they would embark on the hunt which they had planned for. They knocked for a long time on his door as they screamed his name. It was very strange, they even checked the whole surrounding and still there was no sign of him. So they had to break the door, thinking he was inside the house and could not come out or answer them.As they entered the room, the written note was the first thing they saw on the top of a table.In it was written; sorry that I could not tell you this personally but I can no longer stay in Gytle. My mind will not cease to trouble me, so I

The next morning, the three of them were at the house of Byron. Abby had just been ushered into the receiving hall of lord Byron. Then Kevin came to meet her."O Abby, it's been awhile," The last time they saw was after the death of Mueller. "You asked to see lord Byron?""Yes sir, we can wait if he is busy.""No he is not. He will soon be with us." Kevin sat down, "These men are not from Mayca, where did you find them?" He was able to distinguish.Colin and Enoch were surprised as to how he knew that they were strangers in the city.Just as she was about to give a response to him, Byron came in so she stood up and bowed to him. Enoch and Colin also did the same."You can sit." Byron said and then went to his executive seat. "Who are these men that you came with? I can tell that they are strangers. So where did you find them?"The same question has been repeated so they looked at themselves to know if there was anything that made them different from the people they came across while i

The fourth day has passed yet Gabriel was not there, so now they were not the only ones worried. Abby tok had joined them because according to her estimation, the journey should take a maximum of three days but now it was already four days."I think we have been patient enough. We have to find Gabriel and hope he has not been killed by his enemy."They said to Abby and she could not stop them again because she needed to see Gabriel. Even in her worries, while Colin and Enoch were thinking that Gabriel had been caught by the soldiers of Ceevah, she was thinking that maybe he had gone to another place where he would not be found. Somewhere he would no longer be reminded of his identity. This strong thought that he was still alive was because she knew of Gabriel's history and experience in Tadeas, that he could be difficult to find if he did not want to. So the soldiers of Ceevah would not be able to catch him so easily within a few days of his return into the country.As Enoch and Colin

As lord Byron Hass came to the hall where Gabriel and his friends had been waiting for him. He was frozen at the entrance as he beheld the face of Gabriel. While they stood to salute him. He was unable to return their greeting and they knew what had happened to him. To him, he has seen a ghost and maybe what he was seeing was not what he was expecting. The return of Gabriel will bring him to forsaking his desire to be king just like the other generals."Do not be afraid my lord Byron. It is I Gabriel and not a ghost."Byron could not still say anything, but at least he was unfrozen and moved to his seat.It was when he had taken his seat that he then said, "Who am I seeing?" "It is I, Gabriel Ken, son of Newton Ken, also known as Ronald Rodgers, grandson of Rodgers Chung, king over the country of Tadeas. I have returned to take place as king and lord over the country.""This is not happening. Gabriel is dead. Even if it is Gabriel, I know him very well, he does not want to be king ov
Paths to destiny. Chapter 39. Tadeas have no king.
With at their back and the two soldiers at their front, Gabriel had to have a rethink just as they had insisted on him. They were right, he should not have expected them to believe he was the one after three years of thinking that he was dead. It was just not normal.With him thinking still without moving Colin knew what was going on in his mind, so he said. "Follow your instincts. They will not mislead you."Immediately after that word, Gabriel said to them. "Let's go back."And his declaration put smiles on Abby's face. That was exactly what she wanted to hear. So Gross and Riggs jumped down from the horse's back, and asked Gabriel and his friends to get on it and go ahead of them. So Gabriel climbed one horse with Abby while Enoch and Colin climbed the second one and beat the horses to move at a fast pace. So Gross and Riggs waljee down to the house of Byron on foot.As they came again into the house of Byron, he was standing with Kevin waiting for him. It was as if he foresaw that
Paths to destiny. Chapther 40. Control your tongue
The news about Gabriel did not take two days before it got to the ears of general Dylan Ryan of Cyb. How it got to his ears was something that was never known.It was the day when the training of Gabriel, Colin and Enoch was to begin and they slated the house of Abby to be the first location. That was the place they chose to dwell even though Byron had offered a good room in his house. They did not want to be in the midst of so many soldiers that was why they chose Abby's house. She was okay without their presence and they decided to use a field at the back of the house.Commander Kevin Hodge has just prepared himself to leave with Frost and Gross to the location of the day's training ground. Then he saw General Dylan Ryan coming towards the gate with seven of his men. What he was coming to do was something they could not imagine, but definitely it was not for war because the men with him were too few to wedge war in an energy territory. Also it was not for peace that they came.Kevin

After Dylan Ryan had left with his men, Byron Hass asked Kevin Hodge, "Are you thinking what I am thinking?""If what you are thinking is that Dylan is acting in deceit, then yes. But if not, then no.""I don't think that is any act of deceit. I think he is glad to hear about the return of the king.""My lord, please do not be deceived, Dylan does not mean well for Gabriel, at least not now. What we should be asking ourselves is how did he come to know about Gabriel when we have not told his return to anybody apart from the soldiers in this house."That was really true, Byron had to think towards the direction where Kevin was going. "We have a spy in our midst.""Exactly. We need to find out who this spy is."Byron thought over it very well, he could not imagine any of his men to be spies from another city. Whereas, how would the spy have the courage to be walking in the midst of his enemies. "I don't think a spy is in this place. It can not be possible.""It has already been proven 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
