About a few minutes later, the soldiers who had entered the inn to search the place came out again and one said to the captain that led them, "Sir, he's not here."

Then the captain turned to the woman who had brought them the news about him, and from the look in his eyes, the woman knew what he wanted to ask, so she said, "Believe me sir, there is a young man from Gytle in our midst. I personally directed him to this inn."

"Did you just hear from the horse's mouth?" The captain turned to the inn owner. "So you had better provide him. Or better still tell us where you hid him."

"I am telling the truth sir. There is no one from Gytle in my inn." The inn master continued to beg even though deaf ears were paid to his plea.

Meanwhile, Gabriel, who had left the rooms in the inn and was now hiding by the corners of the road, watched the soldiers as they threatened the inn master. And after a few seconds, he left the spot where he was hiding so that he wouldn't be spotted.

With what he had just seen at the inn, he vowed never to reveal where he was from to anyone again. Due to the manner in which they searched for the one from Gytle, he sought to find answers. At first they were in Gytle looking for him, now he has come to the country to find the reason why he was sought after and their aim had changed to finding the boy from Gytle.

Since he was now a wanted man in Ceevah, Gabriel had to leave the city to the east, which was the city of Mayca. Unlike his experience when he first entered Ceevah, the people of Mayca did not mind who he was, and he just came to the conclusion that it was because he was coming in from another part of the same country.

His mission in Mayca was not different from the one he had when he entered Ceevah. His total aim was still on finding about his father, why he was killed and why they were now after him. Although there was something new, he also wanted to know why coming from Gytle was a problem to the people and soldiers of Ceevah. All his life, he knew that the people of Gytle were people of peace, so why must they be bothered because a Gytlean was in their midst.

All these questions which he needed answers to were so bothersome, but he never knew how he would come to find their answers. One thing he knew for sure was that in order to get the answers needed, his identity would be known to those who would tell him what he demanded to know.

After a very long and stressful day, because he had entered the city of Mayca in the evening, and he never wanted to go to any inn again, he spent the night under a tree, in a small farmyard.

Very early in the morning, an elderly man of about seventy years old came out of his house and sat in the his which was behind the building. He had come to receive the morning air as he would always do everyday.

While he sat on his wooden stool surveying the farm, he noticed some movements under one of the trees, so he asked with his old voice, "Who's there?"

When Gabriel heard the voice of the man, he was frightened at first but it didn't take a minute for that fright to fade away because he noticed that the voice belonged to an elder who probably could not harm him.

So Gabriel stood up and was made visible to the old man.

"Who are you? And what are you doing on my farm?"

He knew exactly what the old man was thinking, so he explained himself. "I'm not a thief sir. I just came in last night to spend the night here. I swear, I will be going immediately and you won't have to see me ever again."

"You only told me what you were doing but you didn't tell me who you were."

"I don't think who I am is important. I'll just take my leave now." Gabriel picked up his bag which he had used as a pillow and was about to leave.

Then the old man stood from his chair and took a close look at Gabriel as he walked towards the fence of the farm.

"You are a stranger here in Tadeas, right?"

And Gabriel instantly froze as he was surprised as to how the man knew he was not from Tadeas.

"I guess I'm right, you are not from this country? You should come into the house and get some proper rest before continuing on your journey."

At this point Gabriel was very confused, he sure needed the rest which the old man had offered but the words of his father kept ringing in his heart. 'do not trust anyone from Tadeas' and from his previous experience in Ceevah, he was so against taking the offer of the man.

While he struggled with his thoughts maintaining a stationed position with the old man waiting to get a response from him. Something within him said, 'accept the offer, you can never find the answers you need if you continue like this.'

So he finally took a turn and nodded to the old man's request.

Now Gabriel was inside the old man's house, and was seated at the table, where he had just finished the wonderful meal which the man presented before him.

"I hope you enjoyed your food?" The old man was also seated at the table.

"Yes I did. Thank you very much sir."

"You can call me Mueller."

"I'm Gabriel," he said out unknowingly. He had vowed not to tell anyone about himself again. Anyway, it was due to the kindness of the man that caused him to spill the info out.

"Okay Gabriel. So tell me, what brings you Tadeas, and where are you from?"

"Why ask?"

"Maybe I could help,"

Then he remembered when a woman offered to help but ended up leading soldiers to his location, and he never wanted such to repeat itself. "I guess you've helped a lot already."

"It's fine. I can tell that you are lost, and maybe I could guide you on your way."

"I'm sure I'll find my way."

"Alright, since you insist but know that you are always welcomed here and if you need anything I'd be glad to help."

So Gabriel stood from his seat, picked up his bag, and then the entrance door opened, and a good-looking young girl walked. She caught Gabriel's heart as he believed her to be the one who would help him with a little information but some negative thoughts were also registered in his head that he did not know what to do at the moment. So he was startled.

  • 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
