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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisSuY7Kdeh
She lost rationality just now.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHPOLJ4s87
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UOOQODiNL
It felt so peaceful, quiet, and compose.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4roA9yVKd2
Everytime she's alone, she's tend to be philosophical and think of things that will give her inner peace and less worries.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPPfBLTK4R
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagV6F34bgt
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmqcj9sGhx
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qu1raQt3J
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcchvsGgBZO
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMazfT2I0MU
"You! WATCH OUT! ROLL OVER THE SIDE!!! QUICK!!!"
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP3nHLxNKQ
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17iptSA2Q1
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFWLhX6uVR
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?????
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNrU9f8mgY
"YOU! RUN! CALL THE KNIGHTS RIGHT AWAY!" Sloan shouted, out of breath.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscFVkwjIa0
"Y-YES! YOUR HIGHNESS!"
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7kZTKUdaz
I'm still 'Miss', Sloan wanted to say, but the gardener ran away already.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8lNHPHEs9
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyAy7ktfnc
She slowly step back, still pointing the dagger and breathing heavily.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6wLA6UgKB
It's fine...I'm not gonna die...
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsR54j0bVc
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvED2ZOV8Gp
But this snake here...it shouldn't be here! Why is it here?!
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9nBuOFhRL
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOkQrFTc7t
Think, damn! Sloan, think! Damn! Damn! Damn!
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxspNH4Jzx
I take my words back, I'm gonna die today---
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8jlLmH2F3
The tree!
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL07xNqDTF
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!
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyF7iTfcKY
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MYOyBZBIG
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d00cRfJP2
Damn...my foot...my foot still hurts. Now my head was spinning...could she get a break?
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi0jCI9r9n
She's getting thirsty and restraining herself from fainting.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlsXYps54c
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSgWzHE7gl
She stopped.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumVRQnJGoj
It's dead?
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSwDPXeXjd
It's dead...But...
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJiP4xkxan
No...something's wrong.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bWMqBuo0B
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!
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlkNNouXjX
And this one lasted for only about seconds!
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1y0TM5e4l
Something was wrong!
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTROy0e5Vh
With that thoughts, she started forming conclusions in her head.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPv3NRer85
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???!!!!!
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBoJndWcM6
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVmKR1P01P
Even before stopping and getting away from the dead snake, Sage did not let go of her.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4s1ljuiLL
"Your highness! Let go! Something's wrong with the snake and I have to look at it!"
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8Tc6FTlyT
"Sloan, it's dangerous!" Sage gripped her in his arms, afraid.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYukxFimizO
"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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ478oiMghlG
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf9BSkwz7b
The knights started to surround the snake , "Don't go near! Back away! It's still dangerous!"
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVEJEuteVY
All of them was distracted both by the snake and Sloan shouting.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7bnyYIqZq
What's wrong? What's going on? They asked themselves and become more terrified.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaeI2xNw8E
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyGI0URsFQ
When the king and queen arrived there, it was all a chaos.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrvygNv05c
Only Sage could only think of one thing at that time.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMhCTcvdBF
