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

When Gross and Frost returned to base that day, Kevin came to them as soon as they came down from the horses."How are they doing?""There is still a lot of work to do." Gross answered him without waiting a second for the question to drop.That sound proves to Kevin that Gabriel truly had not improved a bit in the training he asked for. So he did not know how long it would take. Since Dylan came there, neither Kevin nor Byron had gone to see Gabriel to take note of his progress. So he began to think that it was time for him to visit the young, amateur warriors in order to find out what had been causing them not to improve in their training.He had been very busy all this while, making investigations on how Dylan found out about Gabriel. But in these weeks of his findings, he still was unable to discover the information he was seeking. All he had done only proved to him that there was no one selling their secrets to Dylan or another governor. Yet it still confused them on how Dylan got

First before interrupting the training, Kevin asked Abby, "Why did you say they have gone mad? They don't seem to have any mental issues from our observations.""They have been training since Gross and Frost left here yesterday. They have not observed anything break throughout the night and it is only a crazy person that does not get tired of doing a practical thing."Now that explained to them why they were so improved in just a day."I see," Kevin walked up to them and even as he drew close, none of them noticed until he had touched Enoch from behind. As he touched him, Enoch turned about to strike him but Kevin knew and caught the sword in the air. This was when the three of them realized their presence."Sire," they chorused."What are you doing?!"They became shocked by that question, he had already seen what they were doing yet he was asking."We are practicing." Gabriel answered. "No you are not," Kevin claimed.Then Gabriel had to look at Gross and Frost who had taught them t

Now Gabriel knew where he was going by reminding him also of his own promise to Byron. So in order not to lose his friends, he had to tell them the reason behind his change of mind."I know it is not right to break my promise after giving them hope. But I told Byron not to tell anyone one about me yet but he still went on doing his mind.""What are you talking about? I don't think he has told anybody about you yet. And that is the reason he must be waiting for you right now. So that you will give him the go ahead for peace and unity to be restored in your country and amongst your people."From that, Gabriel knew that they did not get what he was saying. So he had to elaborate on it. "If you two can remember vividly when we started the training, Dylan Ryan of Cyb came to Mayca and was asking after me. Have you asked yourselves how he came to know about me?""You should also remember that Byron and Kevin spent time searching and investigating the matter on how Dylan came to find out abo

Since they were riding on horsebacks, they were much faster than Gabriel and his two paddies who were journeying on foot. The sun had already set by this time and the clouds were dark. So when Enoch heard the sound of running horses coming their direction, the three of them predicted the same thing and it was correct. They knew that was going to be Kevin and his men, so they went off the road and hid themselves while Byron overtook them.After they had ridden past them, Colin said to Gabriel while they were still hiding in the bushes, "You see why we should not have left Mayca.""Do they look peaceful to you?" Gabriel asked Colin. "I am sure they want us dead.""No Gabriel. They are restless because their king has fooled them by leaving after making a promise to them." Enoch said to Gabriel."That man Byron wants me dead, there is no doubt.""No, he wants you to rule your people."*****As Kevin noticed that they have gone far and still haven't caught up with Gabriel, Kevin asked that

As usual, since they did not trust themselves, they decided to make a meeting point at the center of the country which was close to the palace. Due to the former incident that happened when they met, and how Byron surrounded the place with his men. Other generals were very wise this time around to properly supervise and inspect the entire place to ensure that none of them had repeated history.When they were gathered together along with Gabriel who was the purpose of their gathering. Monroe was the first to talk."Byron, what is this we are hearing? That you bought someone from Gytle to act as the son of Ronald.""I did not buy anybody from Gytle to act as our king. It is the son of Ronald, the heir to the throne that is present in our midst today. He did not die together with his father when you sent your men to kill them.""Watch your tongue Byron. How dare you say that I sent my men to kill the king instead of bringing him back."Gabriel wanted to speak up at this point but his spi
Paths to destiny. Chapter 47. The quest.
Coming back to the house is Byron that night, he was surprised how everyone was looking very serious and moody. When he was seen, it was a shock to the first soldier to see him. The soldier flasked his light towards the direction where he was coming from as he asked. "Your majesty, is that you?"Gabriel saw fear and surprise in the eyes of the soldier who asked him the question. "Yes, it is me. Well you remove that light from my face?""Lord Gabriel is back!!!" The soldier screamed out loud. "My lord, thank heavens you are safe. Did they hurt you?"That was the second strange thing that was happening before Gabriel that day. "What are you talking about?""The soldiers who took you, can you recognize them?" The soldier asked, soon other men began to run towards Gabriel in response to the alarm which the soldier had sounded."Please, I was not captured by anybody." Gabriel told them as he walked freely to the main building.When it was morning, Enoch and Colin came over to his room to

When Kevin and his men who had gone on patrol came back that day, they heard of the letter from Sebastian Peyton, their minds went straight to thinking that the letter was going to talk about where Gabriel was because they still did not know that Gabriel had returned. They were still out there searching for him.So Kevin and Gross went to see Byron and find out what the message said about Gabriel's whereabouts."My lord, we had a message came in today from Sebastian. Is he the one that captured the king?"Byron did not respond instantly, he was thinking about what his wife had told him and how to stop Gabriel from taking the quest. Not knowing what was going through the mind of Byron, Gross and Kevin thought their prediction was correct."Don't worry my lord, we are going to march against him so that he will release the king immediately."Now that was what Byron heard and returned from his thoughts as he noticed their presence even though they were about leaving. So he asked them befo

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

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.

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."
