Sloan had to wander around the palace to avoid the queen's questions about she and Prince Sage sharing a room for her third day there. She was hiding from Sage. She knows he'll make her face the queen to answer those questions. She can't think of anything but to run.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrGEZyFHnk
She lost rationality just now.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN4sq5IeTJ
Soon enough, Sloan got tired of strolling around and went to the palace garden to relax. It's her third time being around here, and she never get tired of laying her back at the large shade tree near the water fountain.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dJa5Avb3r
It felt so peaceful, quiet, and compose.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW37twkQgr
Everytime she's alone, she's tend to be philosophical and think of things that will give her inner peace and less worries.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyevaGb2PSh
She regret not bringing a paper and pen with her, she wanted to draw the palace garden. Or maybe she'll paint it, she kind of wanting to paint it.Though she was never good at arts, but she's trying.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03qNGbHhlK
Sloan sat under the shade tree and saw a sillouhette far away that was coming. One of the gardeners, she guessed. The gardener was wearing a white clothes that she thinks is a gardener suit and a floppy hat to protect himself from the sun.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmJWmXtVg7
He doesn't seem to notice her, mainly because the tree she was laying on was a little far. But she can spot the gardener's facial expressions, he was smiling while cutting something over the grass.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5yrJBlTjZ
Out of a sudden, she spotted a moving on the bushes behind the gardener. More like a rustle on the bushes. Her eyes narrowed. She slowly stand up, having an instinct to be aware.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVZexAtA0q
In a swift of a moment, her heart almost dropped knowing that the thing that's rustling on the bushes behind the gardener is a big snake.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSNEwf2YzQ
"You! WATCH OUT! ROLL OVER THE SIDE!!! QUICK!!!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw9Ye6KWS4
Sloan run for the gardener's life. The snake seemed to notice the situation and knowing that it'll got caught, it took the chance to attack the gardener but Sloan hastily over in action and save the gardener as they both roll over the grass at the Palace Garden.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMyaIkZG9C
Before the gardener even processed what just happened, Sloan took his dagger and look towards the enormous snake that could digest anyone in just one gulped.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9LswMK9Qn
The gardener's eyes widened, the one who saved him...WAS THE...WAS LADY SLOAN!!! THE PRINCESS!!!! Well, soon to be princess!!! AND HOW EVEN DOES THAT CREATURE GET IN THE PALACE GARDEN?????
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1fX1zhHmR
"YOU! RUN! CALL THE KNIGHTS RIGHT AWAY!" Sloan shouted, out of breath.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡippNwsyBNv
"Y-YES! YOUR HIGHNESS!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs38wwdvZV
I'm still 'Miss', Sloan wanted to say, but the gardener ran away already.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCvN5oFVv3
Sloan pointed the dagger to the enormous snake, legs almost trembling. The snake scales' was dark as night, and its pupil was shrink, like it was holding an overall grudge throughout its life.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrrcqK8ITd
She slowly step back, still pointing the dagger and breathing heavily.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDYFP6T6xm
It's fine...I'm not gonna die...
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjgRQ5BMWj
Sloan reassured herself. The last time she fought a big snake like this one was at the Welsam Forest near the Kingdom's south border where she wandered around with Corvina at 16, she had killed it and almost risked her right arm. It was a forest, they're aware of the danger there and fought with various beast.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmmEv5EyXu
But this snake here...it shouldn't be here! Why is it here?!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjiYPKZJKt
Just as Sloan was making conclusions in her head, the enermous snake hissed at her and move towards her at a swift speed. She lost thinking of next moves and sprint.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF1gbCkfg2
Think, damn! Sloan, think! Damn! Damn! Damn!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUam0PCR8jF
I take my words back, I'm gonna die today---
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4oaB8PW2V
The tree!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SY333QZLF
Sloan saw the shade tree and thought of strategy, a strategy she never tried before but she's been meaning to do her whole life. In the past, she tend to forgot everything she strategized of but now, thank the Gods and Goddesses for giving her signs for remembering it!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsIMgK0IgT
Sloan gripped the dagger on her two hands, still the snake coming for her. She's being aware, looking back from time and calculating the chance of the strategy she thought of.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKk3LLoaYh
She gulped, she's afraid of closing her eyes as she vertically run over the tree and her feet hanging by the air. The snake's forehead got hit on the tree, Sloan swiftly got ahold of her dagger and striked the snake's forehead from behind. She heard a hissed, and saw a crazy wriggle movement of the snake's body trying to get itself away from pinning to a tree cause by a dagger. Sloan fell over the snake, exhausted. She tried groping the snake's scales and steadied so that she won't be push away by its strong wriggle. She groaned.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rfwpZAIXl
Damn...my foot...my foot still hurts. Now my head was spinning...could she get a break?
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFxeJLpaDY
She's getting thirsty and restraining herself from fainting.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgtpBagtMo
Sloan breathe in relief when the strong wriggle stopped, he gaze at the head of the snake she pinned through the tree using a dagger, and she's certain that it's dead.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c6Vt3ouSo
She stopped.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A3M4s1t0m
It's dead?
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1y9Jmzu8u
It's dead...But...
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTATYcP9upL
No...something's wrong.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1SELDmt5q
Big snakes like this wouldn't get killed easily! She's certain! She once cut a big snake's head in the past and it's body still wriggle for about half an hour before it slowly stopped moving and die!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLIp9YOqNS
And this one lasted for only about seconds!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnPeknj14k
Something was wrong!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PmptKTj3Y
With that thoughts, she started forming conclusions in her head.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CJtR7Y0Ea
Is this snake...already dying before it comes here? Like it was waiting for someone to end him...or finding food...hunting for survival...but why here? What's wrong???!!!!!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6TvhgtZ4k
Sloan was about to stand up when someone with a warm arms grabbed her waist and the next moment she knew, she's being carried far from the dead enormous black snake she killed.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewrmGsTDIO
Even before stopping and getting away from the dead snake, Sage did not let go of her.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3lhMehqsJ
"Your highness! Let go! Something's wrong with the snake and I have to look at it!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBn4SfmmdK
"Sloan, it's dangerous!" Sage gripped her in his arms, afraid.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6NT6OUgVM
"No, your highness! It's dead! It's already dead! Not dangerous anymore! I'm going to check something! Something's wrong with that snake!" Sloan almost panicked, not keeping in mind that she's also hurt.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDbUqFb3bW
In a matter of time when Sloan was shouting and Prince Sage was holding him tight to prevent her to go near the snake, almost all the people in the palace witnessed the dead enormous snake at the Palace Garden and become terrified.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YGX5qI0u3
The knights started to surround the snake , "Don't go near! Back away! It's still dangerous!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxTgkxgPcp
All of them was distracted both by the snake and Sloan shouting.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThfbcityNU
What's wrong? What's going on? They asked themselves and become more terrified.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEaoGMEPWb
After the knights shouted, Sloan's sight slowly turned black and fainted. Prince Sage paled and panicked just as the people in the Palace Garden.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYyxMBaCSk
When the king and queen arrived there, it was all a chaos.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfRQAGUEQW
Only Sage could only think of one thing at that time.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCSs5F7tGR
