Alcandor came back from his hunt and haded back to the palace. "Ouli, we're having a court gathering to decide what is to become of Lache and Yakov. You may com if you so wish." He told the guards to get Lache and Yakov and bring them to the palace, and went in.
The soldiers brought the two Gryphons to the palace, all chained up. "Yakov, it's a pleasure seeing you again." Spat Alcandor. Yakov growled at him. "You are terrorizing my Kingdom, and have done enough harm to us. Give me one reason why I should not imprison you for life, or kill you." Yakov didn't know what to say; he could not argue. "Here are your choices. I retrieve any secrets you may be hiding and spare you, then you go to prison. Or, you refuse to tell me and die." He snapped. Yakov had to tell him the secrets, or else he'd lose his life. "Okay! I'll tell you, just don't kill me!" He shouted. Alcandor half grinned. "I will give you and Lache the chance to speak."
"I did what I did for... territory..." Yakov admitted. "Territory is no excuse to kill. Give me all of the reasoning." The king replied. Yakov bowed his head in shame. "And power..." The King nodded. "And I assume your ruler sent you to do so?" Yakov shook his head. "Our ruler has no contr--" He was interruptd by the King, who was enraged at this answer. "No control? How can one call himself a ruler, if he does not rule nor manage his Kingdom? He should be stripped of his duties, then!" Yakov didn't want to reveal the last secret, but he had to in order to live. "I'll tell you the truth. Erebus did tell us to attack. He plans on overtaking the Kingdom for himself." He admitted, closing his eyes. He could just imagine what Erebus would do if he heard Yakov tell the truth. "So that's why you poisoned me?" Alcandor said, showing him the feather that matched Yakov perfectly. Yakov nodded."Fifty years in prison for you, and thirty for Lache. Now leave my sight, you winged rats."
