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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb8bEBZC15
She lost rationality just now.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfwK6fZds1
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl0FfmYbG1
It felt so peaceful, quiet, and compose.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBxTgUZJRE
Everytime she's alone, she's tend to be philosophical and think of things that will give her inner peace and less worries.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyIPbXYYCw
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyzjzktCsq
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsst1EsAPmH
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4heS1vgN6
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahaQXW2cH0
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TIbbw1JXq
"You! WATCH OUT! ROLL OVER THE SIDE!!! QUICK!!!"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKZplG91Qr
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKUDAmoVOT
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLPj8MOE34
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?????
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv668WNaTCw
"YOU! RUN! CALL THE KNIGHTS RIGHT AWAY!" Sloan shouted, out of breath.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtWN8VkJuI
"Y-YES! YOUR HIGHNESS!"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj3iyebvDq
I'm still 'Miss', Sloan wanted to say, but the gardener ran away already.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AjpYKbVPV
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJJ1tOYqyl
She slowly step back, still pointing the dagger and breathing heavily.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF9R7EVHZL
It's fine...I'm not gonna die...
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq6tbheqmF
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ226GdQ8Yho
But this snake here...it shouldn't be here! Why is it here?!
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdeN6wGaG8
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXFQdaIUZR
Think, damn! Sloan, think! Damn! Damn! Damn!
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkrMUCkLuh
I take my words back, I'm gonna die today---
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaPIqoZEYq
The tree!
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRNlZ4Vl3Z
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!
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6LyIDDK6h
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5asvBZ248m
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAdBlTNXw0
Damn...my foot...my foot still hurts. Now my head was spinning...could she get a break?
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw6BzCLSsm
She's getting thirsty and restraining herself from fainting.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxDrXRI625
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu1KE2cujM
She stopped.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCkLHGRuRs
It's dead?
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM54YkAPk19
It's dead...But...
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFL8mcv0oJ
No...something's wrong.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkQZswm2da
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!
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PnJ0SkGG2
And this one lasted for only about seconds!
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1hOFyT49H
Something was wrong!
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhp7yg9bjK
With that thoughts, she started forming conclusions in her head.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzzQCDXtSi
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???!!!!!
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq1vZhirGR
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKvIv9OrSS
Even before stopping and getting away from the dead snake, Sage did not let go of her.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxmcAdZdkK
"Your highness! Let go! Something's wrong with the snake and I have to look at it!"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzHVNSrR0t
"Sloan, it's dangerous!" Sage gripped her in his arms, afraid.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2fcc9CbhF
"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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ1SfBsIWk
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDecfBU8jz
The knights started to surround the snake , "Don't go near! Back away! It's still dangerous!"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6q9v0rFXY
All of them was distracted both by the snake and Sloan shouting.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbam7asCBoy
What's wrong? What's going on? They asked themselves and become more terrified.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgxRDSYQOt
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufzVbL7GE1
When the king and queen arrived there, it was all a chaos.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbX4nUW6hc
Only Sage could only think of one thing at that time.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrptT0x7K6p
