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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEoom9pB3Z
She lost rationality just now.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHjva6hq4c
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9rR3eUxCe
It felt so peaceful, quiet, and compose.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPc51VQhns
Everytime she's alone, she's tend to be philosophical and think of things that will give her inner peace and less worries.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aau2ZDngJ
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WhhgTuZlq
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW2Q4fhTOK
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTKuFTX8qh
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR7yx2rOHj
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp7bRverC6
"You! WATCH OUT! ROLL OVER THE SIDE!!! QUICK!!!"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqXaMynRpo
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8Jin0sYii
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueCsvDkTbD
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?????
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ARl4vJWMg
"YOU! RUN! CALL THE KNIGHTS RIGHT AWAY!" Sloan shouted, out of breath.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9D6cv5rx6
"Y-YES! YOUR HIGHNESS!"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMZFvVbhGH
I'm still 'Miss', Sloan wanted to say, but the gardener ran away already.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eQQW4aRG4
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV04AwdRzH
She slowly step back, still pointing the dagger and breathing heavily.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cLmVoYXpQ
It's fine...I'm not gonna die...
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm52mPpXYE2
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gn180rOYy
But this snake here...it shouldn't be here! Why is it here?!
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCxXFqiCv3
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJpBzDOTg9
Think, damn! Sloan, think! Damn! Damn! Damn!
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvooOT7ArXj
I take my words back, I'm gonna die today---
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lzCSeedO9
The tree!
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZFjDrtBQG
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!
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFesPoM0D1T
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHk8wKbxT4
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vNwJYjFLx
Damn...my foot...my foot still hurts. Now my head was spinning...could she get a break?
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX4Ike4VZK
She's getting thirsty and restraining herself from fainting.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzowzwH9Tsp
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH25QDFk9x
She stopped.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEvwMOYQ8Y
It's dead?
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDSzIT6dg7
It's dead...But...
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOySX5E3azg
No...something's wrong.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwBpSJeb0W
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!
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrdSqrZFot
And this one lasted for only about seconds!
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG7YhZYsDP
Something was wrong!
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1ORdsVQjB
With that thoughts, she started forming conclusions in her head.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3N3fzlWpA
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???!!!!!
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpA2Fyt8M1
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1yrVa7Yvs
Even before stopping and getting away from the dead snake, Sage did not let go of her.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp1rzQFOH5
"Your highness! Let go! Something's wrong with the snake and I have to look at it!"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm890uFGGJ
"Sloan, it's dangerous!" Sage gripped her in his arms, afraid.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVuFHaXS07
"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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqleFGfvwl7
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYYsrVmSXy
The knights started to surround the snake , "Don't go near! Back away! It's still dangerous!"
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2cEWWjsHM
All of them was distracted both by the snake and Sloan shouting.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXvY3367aL
What's wrong? What's going on? They asked themselves and become more terrified.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerONzkpGrp
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxKTB2CnEx
When the king and queen arrived there, it was all a chaos.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS8cohSyTX
Only Sage could only think of one thing at that time.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWFEwzGufY
