Paths to destiny. Chapter 54. Another heir.
After Byron was gone, she realized and thought over the word she spoke. Of the truth, she knew that there was something that spoke through her in order to pass that message to Byron. Now she was unwilling to keep that from Gabriel. She has to warn Gabriel not to make that adventure for it was dangerous and it would take his head.Very early the next morning, she rushed down to the house of Byron to meet Gabriel."Lord Gabriel, Abby is here to speak with you, shall I bring her up. Or you will come down to meet her?" A guard came and gave Gabriel the information while he was still in his chamber."She can come up."So the guard went down the stairs and returned in a couple of minutes with Abby following him. "She is here my lord.""Abby, please come in." He said and Abby walked into the room while the soldier returned to his post. As she entered the room, Gabriel could see pain in her face. It was really obvious that she could not hide it. He knew that she had been weeping for a long ti

Now Gabriel was standing in front of Byron's chamber as he banged the door with anger. "Who the hell is that?!" Byron shouted from the inside as it was very unusual for someone to bang his door in that manner. "Open up, Byron." The voice which Byron heard was fierce and full of anger that he could not recognize it to belong to Gabriel. So he took up his sword and gently went to the door. As he unlocked it, Gabriel forcefully pushed it up, and barged in. Then Byron pointed the sword at him from behind, where he had hid himself. Noticing that a sword was stretched at him, he gently turned around and Byron saw his face and was surprised because he was not expecting Gabriel to be the one who was banging the door that way. "What is it Gabriel? You made me scared." "Why did you send Abby to tell me lies?!" Gabriel did not pay any attention to what he had asked. He had come there for different purposes and not to answer queries. "What do you mean? I did not send anyone to you. More esp

After he continued his walk without saying anything, Abby was left to contemplate deeply with herself. She argued in her heart whether she was lying to Gabriel or not. Thinking very well, she remembered that Byron had come to her asking that she should speak to Gabriel concerning this journey, that he would have a change of mind. After she remembered this, she began to believe that Byron was really the person who had asked her to talk to Gabriel about the things she spoke to him about. Now she was feeling very guilty of herself, and longed to seek forgiveness from Gabriel. Whether it was because of Byron or not, she knew that she had provoked him and he was really disappointed in her.Byron was still standing with Kevin and the rest, and they were still mopping at him, wondering why he said what he said. Byron was just standing with them as he also looked at them, wondering why they were mopping at him.Seeing that Byron did not understand the reason for their stare, because they had

It happened while Kevin, Gross and Frost were busy looking for Abby around the whole house, because they had checked the chamber of Gabriel, and neither him nor Abby was there.Now Gabriel was not in the vicinity, and so was Abby. He had left the premises and Abby pursed after him. The guards and the gate did not know when she left that was why they gave false information to commander Kevin. Since Abby was not in the area, Kevin, Gross and Frost searched tirelessly to no avail.After a very long search, they came to the conclusion that it was high time they left the area to check the house of Abby. They were dying to hear directly from the horse's mouth.Gabriel was in one of his secret spots, sitting on the ground as he wondered why Abby, the one he had come to love, would have the guts to lie to his face even when he caught her. He was disappointed like never before.While he pondered, he heard footsteps approaching him, and it was abnormal. No one had ever followed him there since
Paths to destiny. Chapter 58. Uninvited.
When Abby and Gabriel finally returned to the house of Byron in the evening that day, the guards at the gate were shocked to see the both of them coming from outside. They thought they were within the walls of the house, especially Abby.Now they were able to realize why Kevin, Gross and Frost said that she was not in the vicinity.After Gabriel and Abby had gone in. They had to send for Kevin to return and stop searching for Abby because she was now in the house.The information got to them in less than no time and they came back with haste. They had checked the house of Abby that she wasn't there, so they hung around her area waiting for her. That was why it was easy for the soldiers to locate them and pass the news to them. Gabriel was now in his room with Abby, it was late so he insisted that she stayed with him till the breaking of the day before she returned home. They had just finished eating the food that was brought to them when they heard the knock on the door.Without aski

Seeing that Gabriel was not panicking as he thought, he had to go hit the nail on the head so as to bring out the fear in Gabriel. "I came here to tell you the only thing you can do to make me believe that you are the heir of Prince Ronald.""So you doubt that I am his son?""No, I do not doubt you to be his son. But I think you were adopted, so I would not want a bastard to be my king. I do not want to bow before a bastard.""So this is what your coming is all about. You came here to insult me?""No Gabriel, I only came to tell you the truth. You don't have the blood of the king in you.""Will you stop that?!" Byron shouted at Monroe. "I will not watch you insult the king.""This kid is not my king until he has proven that he is the true son of Ronald.""Whether he is Prince Ronald's blood or not, he is still the son of Ronald and the heir to the throne. If he is adopted, it is none of our business.""I will not have a bastard rule in this country. Never!" Monroe shouted back at Byro
Paths to destiny. Chapter 60. The sin must be cleansed.
Then Elmer Banks shifted in his sitting posture, Gabriel was really confused that was not what he was there. He had come to clear him of his confusion yet it seems as though he was even making him more confused than before. It only proved that Gabriel did not still understand where he was going. "Now listen very attentively, Gabriel. In Gytle where you grew up, your father blended very well to the tradition of the town that no one could indicate that he was not from the town. He proved himself as a legal citizen of Gytle. Now that proof was accepted and he belonged amongst the people. Due to this fact, he was not no longer a citizen of Tadeas so all rights he had here in Tadeas were vanquished. Yes, he was of Tadeas by birth, but the moment he chose not to come back, he lost that identity. And that is why the soldiers from the country had to kill him when they finally found." He paused to observe Gabriel and he saw that Gabriel was followed yet lost, he called him back. "Listen, I do
Paths to destiny. Chapter 61. Nobody is going with me.
When the rose, Gabriel had believed all that Elmer told him. It all means that Abby truly spoke under the influence of the spirit. So the next move Gabriel took was to invite all those who had been asking him not to make the journey. He had to tell them what he had seen because now his mind was telling him not to make the journey but Elmer had told him that it was inevitable, so if he tries to run from it, the gods who had made it known to him, will sure drag him to the place where they want him to be.He chose not to keep this from another that cared for him because he wanted them to know the reason why they should not stop him, or even try to help him. Those he called to the hall were Byron Hass, Aria Hass, Kevin Hodge, Enoch Harris, Colin Parker, Abby Mueller, Gross, Frost, Norris and even Riggs. Riggs was surprised that he was also amongst the people called. He heard that the meeting was for the friends of Gabriel alone, and he did not count himself among Gabriel's friends. So he

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
