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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtumjbdbr4
She lost rationality just now.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFzUbHP0Ub
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hx4Brmc95
It felt so peaceful, quiet, and compose.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdaE2GBYff
Everytime she's alone, she's tend to be philosophical and think of things that will give her inner peace and less worries.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt6WaEJk4D
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY8Udq5C8x
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetT7OTFddx
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4mV3HDAAW
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh7Z5Gxonl
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVGnrKsBX7
"You! WATCH OUT! ROLL OVER THE SIDE!!! QUICK!!!"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50VL17fLZN
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbviTHqZgCZ
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX6A8hQPyp
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?????
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxYvzSQjdI
"YOU! RUN! CALL THE KNIGHTS RIGHT AWAY!" Sloan shouted, out of breath.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUOlikbcKx
"Y-YES! YOUR HIGHNESS!"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNBIE8KaaE
I'm still 'Miss', Sloan wanted to say, but the gardener ran away already.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDbMpWifpE
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhd96Q0AYv
She slowly step back, still pointing the dagger and breathing heavily.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRwIbghmxv
It's fine...I'm not gonna die...
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc2HdBTclT
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45ynttQl3x
But this snake here...it shouldn't be here! Why is it here?!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB1qxPLYNz
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTFFFuDOLv
Think, damn! Sloan, think! Damn! Damn! Damn!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv0ZJMQ2hb
I take my words back, I'm gonna die today---
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmgejNbfVS
The tree!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjVjV58EJe
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!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesw85uHnNL
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS8SVhkTco
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH2Z4ioVIs
Damn...my foot...my foot still hurts. Now my head was spinning...could she get a break?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAdBVY6FSM
She's getting thirsty and restraining herself from fainting.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh1priKbxi
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rvxmFlpwI
She stopped.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1ii4CPyH7
It's dead?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0X9JR9jSp
It's dead...But...
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0Ise4iijL
No...something's wrong.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ9gLMKvMt
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!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOztiaZWcaf
And this one lasted for only about seconds!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwJC57l4ZP
Something was wrong!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC82m20RmR
With that thoughts, she started forming conclusions in her head.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgHSkoJoKi
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???!!!!!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMTUPMIvef
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2BcdNwm7I
Even before stopping and getting away from the dead snake, Sage did not let go of her.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUPfh5XxQg
"Your highness! Let go! Something's wrong with the snake and I have to look at it!"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dr95Rd0Fb
"Sloan, it's dangerous!" Sage gripped her in his arms, afraid.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUto4h0jbR3
"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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjMP8m7Abi
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYnVNCEUPY
The knights started to surround the snake , "Don't go near! Back away! It's still dangerous!"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLWPa4XJDl
All of them was distracted both by the snake and Sloan shouting.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7oSQy1vaU
What's wrong? What's going on? They asked themselves and become more terrified.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfM2dW8Wvn
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF4UsotqCM
When the king and queen arrived there, it was all a chaos.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxCMmEGrik
Only Sage could only think of one thing at that time.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsK4WmcHBj
