"Miss, are you really going to live at the palace starting next week?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiEQVOLvFv
Sloan raised her brows. "Now, now, you've all heard it from father, don't you?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7eoRICRxy
The younger knights bowed their heads. Sloan chuckled.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO2563wB8U
"Is there anyone going to stop me?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlONnmhHbFi
All the young trained knights at the training grounds stood straight, determined. Sloan almost choked in her saliva.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEgSnVnuNY
"If you're going to stop me, you all should stop the prince first."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXA6jIOiVd
They all seemed to lose hope when they heard her say that. Sloan smiled.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4tho8iWpc
These youngsters in their place's training grounds were the ones she also trained. They're more like grew up with her, treating her like she was an older sister.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2Q5bj0AYr
"Miss, if you live at the palace and become a queen someday, would you go visit us still?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU64lUZiu6P
Sloan blinked. She looked down, and smiled. "Of course, why I wouldn't?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsAg1tbyN4
The young knight at the middle row shouted, "Miss, you know! Responsibilities! I'm not doubting your abilities Miss, but your health would deteriorate! You must always take care of yourself so you can always visit us!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKpOcaYgfq
"How kind, Rovan,"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL0qtmOVmQ
The strong wind swayed her hair as she blankly smiled.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eQ5D6TYkj
"I'm going to be a wife now, aren't I?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNQwiy7ybx
"Miss, you can back out!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxlVjzGPnx
Sloan snorted. As if she can.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cz76l0yX6
"I wish," She whispered and turned around. "Go train now, I apologized for interrupting you all,"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB5TWnpL3H
"NOT AT ALL!" They shouted.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlQiifLGEL
Sloan grinned while shaking her head, heading her way to the drawing room where her father was.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2LexZQMsR
"Sir," Sloan called.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeQrgfQdiS
Shae almost slammed the table. "Sloan, I told you to call me Father. Do I look like a visitor to you everytime?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLdbHwsJto
Sloan looked down and chuckled. "I apologized, Father,"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGCmXXSgvE
Shae clicked his tongue and signed her to sit. "What makes you head your way here? Any problems going on?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8fbwRJbjg
"I need a carriage, I need to go somewhere."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ9jDaMM3n
"...Again?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVkbWScIK7
Sloan nodded. "The child I saved yesterday was still on the physician's place. I told you about the child, the countess made him a slave..."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv91rLyKhT
Shae nodded. "Bring a knight with you,"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCf1Aiz8Gj
"I can, myself,"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtdmIjFAtQ
Shae raised his brows. "No, Sloan,"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WuMvg8Der
"Yes, Father."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe21Fr5M0v
Shae sighed. "...I don't know anymore, daughter. Just go."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UdMfDNqL6
Sloan smirked. She bowed to him and left the drawing room. Shae could only suffer in silent torment.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGK4AUE8yy
The carriage was prepared afterwards, as Sloan head her way out of the place. Inside the carriage, Sloan recall the days she was a child seeing her scar on her palm near the pulse.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz2nOGQsHi
The other female knight was cheerfully teaching her head-straight and pose in the training ground. The other knights troupe were on a mission. It was morning. They trained for hours. When the noon comes, the female knight, Corvina, told her that she was just going to get them some water to drink because of thirst. Sloan smiled.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdTfMCVFG3
Corvina was the only female knight in the troupe, and one of the strongest and determined person. Shae told Corvina to train her strictly when he wasn't around, cause Shae know the capability of her ability. Many acknowledge Corvina because of herself, and Sloan's father was one of them.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwim3xIdb0x
Sloan too, she felt attached too her ever since as she can remember. She can even pass as her mother in other life.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIeJKzibZE
As Sloan was patiently waiting, she heard step noises behind her. A rustle of the fallen dry leaves, it goes around. But she can't see anyone's sillouhette or shadows. The training ground is the entrance of the forest, Sloan can barely think.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQpFeufb2z
Is it a bear? A monster?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CX9jozMK1
As she thought of that, her heartbeat goes rapid, like it's going to burst out of her any time.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N1YqTlUMG
She can fight, but Sloan wasn't confident in real fights, though she always wins. She has traumas in fighting, she's still a child with little experiences.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYVATJCkXB
Sloan gulped, terrified.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPIfMB09OA
"COME OUT!" She shouted, her knees was shaking.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc3tA7btum
Suddenly, she heard someone chuckled behind her. Sloan has slow instincts by that time, and her palm got a slash of a sword by trying to get away with a man who has a long white hair and a creepy face.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmalfybrdZA
Green eyes, pointed nose, pretty lips, smiling creepily. By the looks of him, he looks more than the age of forty year old. So creepy! And he's holding this black sword with him, and it's emitting a black aura!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XtH8e1xKt
This is bad! Sloan thought, she felt it. She's already feeling it. She will die! She's going to die right now! That sword has got the craziest amount of aura! More than her sword!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGGgZXdm2h
She can fight, Sloan can fight. But she can't win! She won't win! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! SHE'S GOING TO DIE!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZni9tWFcw
JUST WHO IS THIS PERSON?!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNEs91IJpN
"You...who are you?! Why are you doing here at the Blue Knight's Captain's territory?!" She tried to scare him, but it bounce back. She's too weak for this.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY7Ib8Txhz
"Captain? Why can't you just say 'father?' Aren't you the child of that bastard prodigy that destroyed my life?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk60nAfGQJI
Destroyed his life? What????
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPkO8uZCdo
"What are you---! My father...he's not someone who ever wanted to destroy someone else's life!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6ob8ORHDh
"Oho! That's right, he doesn't know!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWEj8rjwLH
What???
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeV8zvypG9
"He doesn't know what?! Just what do you mean?! Are you fucked in the head, old man?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh15qM3Fm9
He smiled again, creepily. Sloan wanted to run, but her feet stayed, she felt so terrified. She tried not to stutter.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cyaOAA8C4
"Old man, you say, I'm almost the same age as your father."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2nCXQwCTH
Really??? What the hell??? He looks like my grandfather!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UDZ7D8KDi
Sloan gulped. This is crazy. She's gonna die. Run!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTBrNL6QYs
She tried to move her feet. But the man warned her.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsDdWe4dc4
"One move, I'll cut your head off, young lady."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp3GFG9sBV
Sloan's pupils dilated. She almost fell her sword.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVENa44bFs8
"Good lady, you really take after your stupid father who did everything I say, Foolish ones, Like low life bastards, ha! Even your mother was stupid for marrying your father and having you, now what? They separated! Ha!" He laughed crazily, telling insults.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobnzOLKc21
Foolish? Stupid? Low life bastards? He know my mother? He called her stupid...for having me? What's my fault?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmdsWdSwXO
That insults was blood boiling. Sloan can't think of nothing else. It triggered her spines to attack him. She will die in honor for killing this one. Nothing else will matter after she kill him.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1ti9j22QE
Sloan attacked, it was fast, the creepy man's instincts happened too slow, he didn't realized until his chest was deeply stabbed.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LXJk97ZN9
His face twisted. "You little---"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKXQjmz5kJ
That was the start of their fight. Sloan never got a chance to wound him again. Though she knows she wounded him deep, he can still fight ruthlessly. Sloan was stabbed ten times. Different parts on the body, her palm was stabbed too. She lost a lot of blood, she was miserable.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9wze4fVws
When she fell and her sight gone blur, she thought of herself as going to meet death at eleven. The man smiled again, creepily. And that was her last memory before she lost conciousness.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFs2Fpk5Lv
When she woke up and regain conciousness, the first thing that crossed her mind was to thank God for still having a life. But she wondered.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP1LWeU1sK
I'm alive. How?
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLl8G9nAoB
She tried to move, but her body contradict. She can't move! Why she can't move?! She breathed, she's having a hard time to breathe.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LYVDRpZhA
She don't want this.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN6f21mfTo
This is so painful.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdDsGuJsg1
The wounds. Her body can't move. She can't breathe like a normal person could.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mn8OfL1PN
She want to die.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeAfAB0Kgv
Let me die! Just let me die, God! It's useless being like this! I like to walk! I want to meet my father and mother! I want to meet Corvina! I want to meet everyone!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHMd7D8kiT
She tried again, but it failed. Her tears began to fall.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb5Gfke6lt
"MOTHER!!!" She screamed, crying. "FATHER!!!" She coughed.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYgBd6FWuc
She heard rushing steps as the doors of the room opened. She could only move her head, and when she turned it, she saw her mother and father together along with the maids and knights entering the room hurriedly.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g4Iq4Qxz0
"MOTHER! FATHER! WHY CAN'T I---" She screamed again, crying.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9c3106HoB
Gale, her mother, rushed to her with eyes suffered for crying the whole week.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jN2HuiXFe
When Gale hugged her tightly, Sloan thought of wanting to do it too. But she can't do something. So she cried even more.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9u9994DRi
"Why I can't move? I...I want to move. I want to breathe easily...why it's so hard to breathe...mother, I'm gonna die...it's so painful...!!!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcYVMtcgQE
Gale cried even more too. "No, you will live, alright? You won't leave me, Sloan. Please, baby? Don't leave mother, alright? It hurts, it hurts, it will be alright, it will be alright, baby, you will be fine,"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HDxxy0QNX
All Sloan could do was cry.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZymn8z8gF
Shae clenched his fist and told the knight to call the physician at the first floor and told him that Sloan was awake.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5WFatxQaC
Gale, still crying, turned her head to Shae, who was walking at a fast pace towards them.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1HJZc51cT
"Shae, I don't know what to do, why can't I just take her pain? Why?" Gale panicked, shaking. Shae held her hand. He was suffering for crying the whole week too.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgxmh4nG3H
Their child almost died. Her heart was barely beating when she was taken to the physician's place after she was found by Corvina. And both of them wasn't around. They never knew who did that.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONyRxDgVqm
They could only know after their child was not in this condition anymore.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXYgQOxRDm
Sloan was asleep for a month. She never woke up until then.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RwbXkBcAx
And when the time comes she was awake, she became mute for another four months. Sloan was always at the corner or staring at the ceiling, never wanting go out.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20VmTunFQH
Gale and Shae both talk to her everytime even Corvina, who held the most guilt of them all. Corvina told Shae what happened. Shae was a little pissed off, but then he realized that she wasn't at fault. Corvina always take good care of his daughter.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4cEYJtqle
Gale was the most patient for Sloan to get better. She never left Sloan the whole days for four months.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTs7tWkEzt
"Sloan, would you mind if we go outside? Do you want to see flowers?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6S3nI4a6x
Sloan silently shake her head. She pointed the floor, signing 'only here'.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUMIHOequa
Gale could only suffer in silent torment.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiKp2SxLsQ
Shae too.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTXuR0AJuK
He was also always there after his duties and finding clue who did this thing to Sloan. He can't sleep. He's taking supplements to be awake the whole days. He'd do anything.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBHaKou6wa
"Would you like us to play? Sloan, let's play, outside, not swords. If you don't want swords, let's go to the plaza. Let's buy..." Shae was interrupted.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSgRSo3qjo
Sloan shakes her head, pointing the floor. 'Just only here.'
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL7j3AWggH
They couldn't do anything in those months but to stay by her side.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfvHjuh5q7
One night, Sloan woke up. Her mother and father wasn't around in her room. She was alone. She dreamt of that creepy man again, and this time, she already remembered his face.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfraEsU8ZhF
She remembered his face again. Now, she felt like there was nothing to be afraid of anymore. Her father, she felt, was stronger than anyone else. And by saying anyone else, she meant that that creepy man was one of them. No matter how that creepy man defeat people who's weaker than him, he can never defeat what's stronger than him.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbukL3nmHYR
She walked slowly, finally opening the door of her room for the first time once again. There outside, she saw the dark hallway. She walked slowly, having to recall the way to the kitchen area.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrQRoiwDDn
She walked down the stairs carefully, not wanting to wake up anyone else of the house. She took a lamp in the drawing room and head her way to the kitchen to got some food. She felt hungry.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5a3BUaXST
But as she was reaching the jar of biscuits on the cabinet, it fell and the jar broke. By that reason, the entire people of the house was awakened, being alert of everything after the young lady of the house had this cruel accident by someone.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4TOcOvtbe
The first person who was awakened was Gale, who rushed to the kitchen, and saw Sloan.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ng4ddwshh
"Sloan...what are you...???"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQR1HLaMYq
"...Mother?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBJGM9eJ7T
Gale was astonished, having to hear her talk again.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjOkAyEDXR
"What...Sloan? Baby? You can..."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXoGEDUMcI
"Mother..." She repeated.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsZZv5LjRc
Gale's heart almost burst out of happiness and relief and rushed to get her a jar of biscuits.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML4IbtokBs
"Are you hungry?" Said Gale, tears on her eyes. Gale thought of herself that she looks stupid right now. Crying and giving her daughter food.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNjvwpnlgJ
When Shae and the other knights and maids entered the kitchen area, they were shocked for a minute. They saw Gale crying and smiling at the same time, and Sloan laughing along with her. She's already talking...God.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJiG7xiQ9y
Shae cried too.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkGYw8qwec
The entire house was rejoiced once again.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIoFybpmP2
"That's a terrible and funny memory," Sloan whispered to herself as her lip's corner lifted.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceNpWvbg5Q
After that happened, Sloan described the creepy man to her father.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiUFvw0IUD
Turns out the creepy man was her father's rival. Shae always thought of him as greater than him at almost everything. But he has a darkness in his heart, he's always enveloped with envy. At this kingdom, many call him a fallen prodigy. The opposite of Shae, who was a named prodigy.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzqhxQAr8W
He fought with Shae and left the kingdom when he lose, developed a black magic to transfer only to his sword and did wicked things. He went here for revenge, after so many years.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeKFiYcu8O
Shae travelled miles to find him and kill him. He was bestowed great honor after that, even to another kingdom. He just killed the evil man that's pestering the two kingdoms for more than a decade.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqtCCLuCFQ
Shae was a hero, she's also a great father, many women strive for him. But still, Gale left his place again once Sloan recovered. Sloan was then spending half of the year on her father, and half of the year on her mother.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwiUXphTaH
Shae knows, that Gale never once changed her mind since she was decided and determined.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDvnNU4mHQ
That way, they will live in peace.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPJPl4zQjQ
Sloan looked outside the window and her fingertips travelled through the window glass.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmA35m5B9B
There was a snow outside, falling slowly through everywhere.
