"How are you still alive? Shouldn't you be dead?" Sara asks in disbelief. "They didn't find me dead kid, And Didn't Raphael taught you the manners necessary for a noble? You shall address me as Sir Xavier" responds in a cold manner. "You should listen to me first, let the elders speak, I know that you want to listen to the rest of the story." Raphael knocks the door and barges in, he sees Sara tied up, Just before he was about to shout for the guards, Sara stands up from the chair and knocks him out. "For a former king, You surely tie the rope in a loose manner Sir." smirks Sara. "They trained you well, But they didn't tell you to never leave your eyes from your enemy, Not even for a second?" Xavier smiles and throws Sara to the ground and She hits her head to the floor. She is Concussed. "Now Now, I am great story teller, And this is a great story that I have been writing for a long time. You should stay until the end"[Threat from me too]

[Back to Year 870, After Xavier's Abandonment]

Sanjeev and Steven started the truce meeting. Jeremiah is not going to be participating in the truce discussions as he is still angry at Sanjeev for using his father as Leverage. Sanjeev know about this, he planned this all before. He is going to use this for achieving a particular thing to change Jeremih's Life forever. To change him as a person, To change his confidence, To change HIM. Sanjeev and Steven had entered the room. Both of them don't have any guards. This is the only way to keep Steven occupied and not to create any interventions outside. Jeremiah still needs to cool down his anger. He goes into the forest for a hunt. He usually hunts boars, But now he want to let his anger out. He wants to hunt something big. He wants to hunt a wolf. He want to have a challenge to hunt it. He entered the forest in a full moon night. He took himself a sword, Quiver and a bow to hunt the wolf. Soon into the forest he finds the foot steps of the wolf. He follows the footsteps and follow it into the woods. The sunlight is dimming. He goes into the forest deeply. He wants to get the wolf at any cost. As he goes deep into the forest, he loses the sunlight. He takes a bow from his quiver and loads to the bow. He is very observant. He knows that the wolf is nearby, As he progress slowly into the woods, He suddenly walks onto a twig. It made a sound, Jeremiah gets alerted and walks off the twig and checks his surroundings. Fortunately, There is no wolf near him, Or so he thought. The next step a wolf jumped Infront of him. Jeremiah is always fond of wolves, Because of their aggressive nature in a duel. Shiver in legs for Jeremiah. He watched the Wolf's Golden Eyes, He is waiting for wolf to make it's wolf. Wolf roars and Jumps towards Jeremiah. "Firstly, We need to solve the reason for the War. King Steven, I request you to not make this thing public as it tolls on both diplomatic and trade relations. Chaun is a big nation with almost filled with resources. I doubt Hadbrook is that easy on Resources" smirks as he tells Sanjeev. Steven across of the table clenches his hand. He is angered but still, Sanjeev is telling the truth. If trades from Chaun are affected, Hadbrook will be on it's knees after a decade. Steven agreed to make the public reason as the struggle of a power hold. Jeremiah took off his feet and rolled over. Wolf missed Jeremiah. Jeremiah Quickly made a run to the nearby river. When he reached the river, The wolf and him faced off in the moonlight. The golden Eyes of the wolf is glowing in the dark. He locked his eyes with wolf, They both are slowly approaching each other. 

"So, The terms will be as we said. Hadbrook needs to pay for the damaged goods, Used Weapons and Chaun will look after the victims of this war. " Says Sanjeev. "It seems a little too easy, Why? Why is he letting us off the hook?" Asks himself King Steven. "I know what you are thinking Steven, I might be 18 years old, But I have the brains to destroy every country here" as soon Sanjeev completed telling this, The royal guards of Hadbrook drew their swords. Steven is hardly containing it in. He knows the consequences of Killing the prince of Chaun. He crushes the cup in his hand and orders his guards to throw the swords away from the discussion. "You know, You are so close from dying. Yet, You're smiling, Are you that confident that I'm going to spare your life?" Asks Steven. "With all respect Steven, I am the prince of Chaun. And I would've dug this knife in your heart the moment they had a movement" he takes the knife from under the table. It's so small, And is laced with poison. "You could never hurt me with that, First off, You're too far to touch me" the moment Those Words left Steven's mouth, the knife dashed through his left side hitting the wall. Steven wakes up from his Chair in a furious way. "I don't know who you think you are, But this meeting is over" Steven goes up to the door. The doors are locked from Outside. The Bodyguards of Steven drew their swords again, But before they could do anything, They felt a pinch behind their back. They were injected with some liquid. Steven stood there helpless. He knows that Sanjeev is a smart man, He must have reason. Steven just don't know the reason that Sanjeev had will side with him.

Jeremiah and Wolf take a step back, Not to run but to attack. They both ran towards each other with all their might. Jeremiah took his knife out and threw at the Wolf, The wolf was grazed by knife but it didn't stop running towards him, His gold eyes are shining in the dark in the full moon. Jeremiah fell down while running. Wolf opens his jaw and tries to rip off Jeremiah's Head, but is stopped. Jeremiah with bare hands trying to keep the mouth of the wolf open. he is trying his best to not to lose his grip on the wolf's Mouth. A horn was rung. Wolf hears the horn and leaves the fight in the middle and starts to run away into the forest. Jeremiah is not finished with the Wolf, He Follows the wolf. He got led to a big settlement in middle of the forest away from the city. Jeremiah found VANSHIK
