"Miss, are you really going to live at the palace starting next week?!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtmwEG1du0
Sloan raised her brows. "Now, now, you've all heard it from father, don't you?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSir5PUGe7O
The younger knights bowed their heads. Sloan chuckled.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6OAlNkDbU
"Is there anyone going to stop me?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhF144hYP4
All the young trained knights at the training grounds stood straight, determined. Sloan almost choked in her saliva.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpyO982MFt
"If you're going to stop me, you all should stop the prince first."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWG9Y6cw5Z
They all seemed to lose hope when they heard her say that. Sloan smiled.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6jpzfWL7o
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFELs0P0J6
"Miss, if you live at the palace and become a queen someday, would you go visit us still?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR44kD1Jmcg
Sloan blinked. She looked down, and smiled. "Of course, why I wouldn't?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujKArSN7wH
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!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCeoVECWaV
"How kind, Rovan,"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOeIZd3SmT
The strong wind swayed her hair as she blankly smiled.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1aLGH5hYV
"I'm going to be a wife now, aren't I?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrIMUKzrgq
"Miss, you can back out!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLgzGkIgrA
Sloan snorted. As if she can.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH3mpgLsvB
"I wish," She whispered and turned around. "Go train now, I apologized for interrupting you all,"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeTIcusPgN
"NOT AT ALL!" They shouted.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofbtBpdSOK
Sloan grinned while shaking her head, heading her way to the drawing room where her father was.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKEJST54Ny
"Sir," Sloan called.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sUUnm1Mr4
Shae almost slammed the table. "Sloan, I told you to call me Father. Do I look like a visitor to you everytime?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmq4rKaEZQ
Sloan looked down and chuckled. "I apologized, Father,"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNmutu2Cs2
Shae clicked his tongue and signed her to sit. "What makes you head your way here? Any problems going on?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0nZlXtCFC
"I need a carriage, I need to go somewhere."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEsThm0poi
"...Again?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Be9SquteU
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..."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22M4QuhPLG
Shae nodded. "Bring a knight with you,"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHcUhF1u1W
"I can, myself,"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpEqhGyZ2f
Shae raised his brows. "No, Sloan,"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQZ2CJGSGw
"Yes, Father."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSeQxlbGIa
Shae sighed. "...I don't know anymore, daughter. Just go."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ1IKNJIa6
Sloan smirked. She bowed to him and left the drawing room. Shae could only suffer in silent torment.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IHk4NeYIr
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJXLIPwSpN
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ez1idjrdS
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzG3qZ0Rxz
Sloan too, she felt attached too her ever since as she can remember. She can even pass as her mother in other life.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDDa6mJsDb
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO67JHeC2R
Is it a bear? A monster?
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNNnMPK685
As she thought of that, her heartbeat goes rapid, like it's going to burst out of her any time.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfiP8aQaPw
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDMW9NoEyq
Sloan gulped, terrified.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1iqH9w9hY
"COME OUT!" She shouted, her knees was shaking.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO22FolLVrk
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lXxgWFujg
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!
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgJnbTAgoo
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!
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAXr7cqvKA
She can fight, Sloan can fight. But she can't win! She won't win! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! SHE'S GOING TO DIE!
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4evVYLhFb
JUST WHO IS THIS PERSON?!
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNYLmU5q5P
"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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3PVg3wVWe
"Captain? Why can't you just say 'father?' Aren't you the child of that bastard prodigy that destroyed my life?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11Bs8WlknX
Destroyed his life? What????
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB30wm00U1p
"What are you---! My father...he's not someone who ever wanted to destroy someone else's life!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg09Fu1NyP
"Oho! That's right, he doesn't know!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvM1AT3yGB
What???
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1kTDsdoqE
"He doesn't know what?! Just what do you mean?! Are you fucked in the head, old man?!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFTRr5oOfQ
He smiled again, creepily. Sloan wanted to run, but her feet stayed, she felt so terrified. She tried not to stutter.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQPbCeK1ZP
"Old man, you say, I'm almost the same age as your father."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsxDZpVJKb
Really??? What the hell??? He looks like my grandfather!
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqk32RVe0Y
Sloan gulped. This is crazy. She's gonna die. Run!
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFxCWHrjKi
She tried to move her feet. But the man warned her.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3wrZrikst
"One move, I'll cut your head off, young lady."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFn3ajhOxg
Sloan's pupils dilated. She almost fell her sword.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd28Il5WkN
"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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinYaMVBJbC
Foolish? Stupid? Low life bastards? He know my mother? He called her stupid...for having me? What's my fault?
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHKLWtBODp
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlVh1tcBrl
Sloan attacked, it was fast, the creepy man's instincts happened too slow, he didn't realized until his chest was deeply stabbed.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiV6qWWVvu
His face twisted. "You little---"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUGf2ZpXoK
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hLG4JPgB8
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCJrOSMCx4
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGLEPnI7QO
I'm alive. How?
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFhKy0kHWz
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFFXnTjHJa
She don't want this.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME3gZq2jmE
This is so painful.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmklVAUxEb
The wounds. Her body can't move. She can't breathe like a normal person could.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Vx7zaalZ
She want to die.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzThhc1tXp
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!
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK1z6Hmkxs
She tried again, but it failed. Her tears began to fall.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWLaU5ap3z
"MOTHER!!!" She screamed, crying. "FATHER!!!" She coughed.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG39LDtX3H
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSORsbS0KS5
"MOTHER! FATHER! WHY CAN'T I---" She screamed again, crying.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi4jxmgAdj
Gale, her mother, rushed to her with eyes suffered for crying the whole week.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOn9eVRfrT
When Gale hugged her tightly, Sloan thought of wanting to do it too. But she can't do something. So she cried even more.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWPVRDJYDF
"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...!!!"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFueqvG02lX
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,"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyb8nNfc0J
All Sloan could do was cry.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezgbRwXQzl
Shae clenched his fist and told the knight to call the physician at the first floor and told him that Sloan was awake.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS7yzKE8zd
Gale, still crying, turned her head to Shae, who was walking at a fast pace towards them.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5GgGJ7ia4
"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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqAlqjXePy
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LfdoO21BB
They could only know after their child was not in this condition anymore.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkm4l4uFxu
Sloan was asleep for a month. She never woke up until then.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi1SGAJwVM
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI3M4HUJhB
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CTbj8LSYR
Gale was the most patient for Sloan to get better. She never left Sloan the whole days for four months.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hxlvMUqRX
"Sloan, would you mind if we go outside? Do you want to see flowers?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HmLbIl5DJ
Sloan silently shake her head. She pointed the floor, signing 'only here'.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAQJVVlVv2
Gale could only suffer in silent torment.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdFolhezOa
Shae too.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88amlzfbxx
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgolH0BlJwX
"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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATZhTtwTjx
Sloan shakes her head, pointing the floor. 'Just only here.'
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11jx4jvTsJ
They couldn't do anything in those months but to stay by her side.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyMSNBPBbM
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlSjxsov4h
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevIXeyCjaq
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHhDneiWKW
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXsRVoKgz7
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsFmgB4skT
The first person who was awakened was Gale, who rushed to the kitchen, and saw Sloan.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6e8xgfNmA
"Sloan...what are you...???"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFigSMh3JK
"...Mother?"
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM1J6rgqW2
Gale was astonished, having to hear her talk again.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1jsnkHdRt
"What...Sloan? Baby? You can..."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah7NkvhnrP
"Mother..." She repeated.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh3WJTTIkP
Gale's heart almost burst out of happiness and relief and rushed to get her a jar of biscuits.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWd6iUhmF4
"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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGDkFrawbb
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JNGUvF3w7
Shae cried too.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfbmYOX9Zi
The entire house was rejoiced once again.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSwUOlPXHt
"That's a terrible and funny memory," Sloan whispered to herself as her lip's corner lifted.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuN9vc0aQm
After that happened, Sloan described the creepy man to her father.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJUvo1kVON
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9Bi4ajqxE
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvah8PpBoXf
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hc5wCkDqj
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMaAkYLl1R
Shae knows, that Gale never once changed her mind since she was decided and determined.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01QbVVdcd7
That way, they will live in peace.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuDGBxw6E6
Sloan looked outside the window and her fingertips travelled through the window glass.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSr6wxWiPI
There was a snow outside, falling slowly through everywhere.
