"Miss, are you really going to live at the palace starting next week?!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgVmMetQcw
Sloan raised her brows. "Now, now, you've all heard it from father, don't you?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzOPGw5K03
The younger knights bowed their heads. Sloan chuckled.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxPXNAF4Pm
"Is there anyone going to stop me?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyHhOuumH7
All the young trained knights at the training grounds stood straight, determined. Sloan almost choked in her saliva.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVlQAgxXNi
"If you're going to stop me, you all should stop the prince first."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDPtv2u2Wc
They all seemed to lose hope when they heard her say that. Sloan smiled.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYbgirQyLm
These youngsters in their place's training grounds were the ones she also trained. They're more like grew up with her, treating her like she was an older sister.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEakYtcY9e
"Miss, if you live at the palace and become a queen someday, would you go visit us still?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4biMA2t7H
Sloan blinked. She looked down, and smiled. "Of course, why I wouldn't?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqDAstVNRJ
The young knight at the middle row shouted, "Miss, you know! Responsibilities! I'm not doubting your abilities Miss, but your health would deteriorate! You must always take care of yourself so you can always visit us!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8e2GFlsbt
"How kind, Rovan,"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkZU73v7IP
The strong wind swayed her hair as she blankly smiled.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj5AZu7Xgs
"I'm going to be a wife now, aren't I?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9bVdVCmx9
"Miss, you can back out!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xiaw1ODsr
Sloan snorted. As if she can.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDbRupZf53
"I wish," She whispered and turned around. "Go train now, I apologized for interrupting you all,"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBOE2oDSEQ
"NOT AT ALL!" They shouted.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9WnB5kvMY
Sloan grinned while shaking her head, heading her way to the drawing room where her father was.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20U7ZwRPLo
"Sir," Sloan called.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG2Wty9RoT
Shae almost slammed the table. "Sloan, I told you to call me Father. Do I look like a visitor to you everytime?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLobPgfqPf
Sloan looked down and chuckled. "I apologized, Father,"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQJEIPI5xf
Shae clicked his tongue and signed her to sit. "What makes you head your way here? Any problems going on?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsIfRKGUXQ
"I need a carriage, I need to go somewhere."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ocLR95wg0
"...Again?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XFKEzmfBk
Sloan nodded. "The child I saved yesterday was still on the physician's place. I told you about the child, the countess made him a slave..."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCAbOcsJ8g
Shae nodded. "Bring a knight with you,"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtMuiciv8e
"I can, myself,"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6C0Uct521
Shae raised his brows. "No, Sloan,"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMabHSZIln
"Yes, Father."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysqO6sE3cd
Shae sighed. "...I don't know anymore, daughter. Just go."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjsM57uuNQ
Sloan smirked. She bowed to him and left the drawing room. Shae could only suffer in silent torment.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqtpZ5hlgR
The carriage was prepared afterwards, as Sloan head her way out of the place. Inside the carriage, Sloan recall the days she was a child seeing her scar on her palm near the pulse.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImzOpip2rl
The other female knight was cheerfully teaching her head-straight and pose in the training ground. The other knights troupe were on a mission. It was morning. They trained for hours. When the noon comes, the female knight, Corvina, told her that she was just going to get them some water to drink because of thirst. Sloan smiled.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnajvflmefw
Corvina was the only female knight in the troupe, and one of the strongest and determined person. Shae told Corvina to train her strictly when he wasn't around, cause Shae know the capability of her ability. Many acknowledge Corvina because of herself, and Sloan's father was one of them.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uBitGxIlI
Sloan too, she felt attached too her ever since as she can remember. She can even pass as her mother in other life.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbvjrpHGMr
As Sloan was patiently waiting, she heard step noises behind her. A rustle of the fallen dry leaves, it goes around. But she can't see anyone's sillouhette or shadows. The training ground is the entrance of the forest, Sloan can barely think.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWleKLJonX
Is it a bear? A monster?
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgAtXp1xuL
As she thought of that, her heartbeat goes rapid, like it's going to burst out of her any time.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegdRs2FCV7
She can fight, but Sloan wasn't confident in real fights, though she always wins. She has traumas in fighting, she's still a child with little experiences.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISWVN89czB
Sloan gulped, terrified.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvre6uuwvO
"COME OUT!" She shouted, her knees was shaking.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GVRx2YH0c
Suddenly, she heard someone chuckled behind her. Sloan has slow instincts by that time, and her palm got a slash of a sword by trying to get away with a man who has a long white hair and a creepy face.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DbWnkckzc
Green eyes, pointed nose, pretty lips, smiling creepily. By the looks of him, he looks more than the age of forty year old. So creepy! And he's holding this black sword with him, and it's emitting a black aura!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAY4c8BuHL
This is bad! Sloan thought, she felt it. She's already feeling it. She will die! She's going to die right now! That sword has got the craziest amount of aura! More than her sword!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uD2mQC9Wg
She can fight, Sloan can fight. But she can't win! She won't win! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! SHE'S GOING TO DIE!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzbEtrzNNe
JUST WHO IS THIS PERSON?!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8jwY4CLnt
"You...who are you?! Why are you doing here at the Blue Knight's Captain's territory?!" She tried to scare him, but it bounce back. She's too weak for this.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK8YeZdynO
"Captain? Why can't you just say 'father?' Aren't you the child of that bastard prodigy that destroyed my life?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBIDx6ywvZ
Destroyed his life? What????
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dnYAiZaLS
"What are you---! My father...he's not someone who ever wanted to destroy someone else's life!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjB4Erlk32
"Oho! That's right, he doesn't know!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qft4b34Q9
What???
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU8YL0Tsw4
"He doesn't know what?! Just what do you mean?! Are you fucked in the head, old man?!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetcCgYMqhr
He smiled again, creepily. Sloan wanted to run, but her feet stayed, she felt so terrified. She tried not to stutter.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYBmiY8qss
"Old man, you say, I'm almost the same age as your father."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4wyEAa4AU
Really??? What the hell??? He looks like my grandfather!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi6sRcyDo2
Sloan gulped. This is crazy. She's gonna die. Run!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN5aGxnybX
She tried to move her feet. But the man warned her.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayTQh3fJ1c
"One move, I'll cut your head off, young lady."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysDXhhkWBv
Sloan's pupils dilated. She almost fell her sword.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z0e5CMMsF
"Good lady, you really take after your stupid father who did everything I say, Foolish ones, Like low life bastards, ha! Even your mother was stupid for marrying your father and having you, now what? They separated! Ha!" He laughed crazily, telling insults.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zDLG5p0OA
Foolish? Stupid? Low life bastards? He know my mother? He called her stupid...for having me? What's my fault?
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcHux0qODf
That insults was blood boiling. Sloan can't think of nothing else. It triggered her spines to attack him. She will die in honor for killing this one. Nothing else will matter after she kill him.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmVmCNG6H3
Sloan attacked, it was fast, the creepy man's instincts happened too slow, he didn't realized until his chest was deeply stabbed.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi2f1PCedX
His face twisted. "You little---"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLcPDQDWgm
That was the start of their fight. Sloan never got a chance to wound him again. Though she knows she wounded him deep, he can still fight ruthlessly. Sloan was stabbed ten times. Different parts on the body, her palm was stabbed too. She lost a lot of blood, she was miserable.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEicUPdERYy
When she fell and her sight gone blur, she thought of herself as going to meet death at eleven. The man smiled again, creepily. And that was her last memory before she lost conciousness.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYoVawk1FK
When she woke up and regain conciousness, the first thing that crossed her mind was to thank God for still having a life. But she wondered.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBsO1Nma33
I'm alive. How?
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK1MsnFKjg
She tried to move, but her body contradict. She can't move! Why she can't move?! She breathed, she's having a hard time to breathe.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXMG0ihvus
She don't want this.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLX0WUgWtw
This is so painful.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZa7bBDLzD
The wounds. Her body can't move. She can't breathe like a normal person could.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa0KsCM648
She want to die.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqbNlovH7s
Let me die! Just let me die, God! It's useless being like this! I like to walk! I want to meet my father and mother! I want to meet Corvina! I want to meet everyone!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh6RLzEjJs
She tried again, but it failed. Her tears began to fall.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9WZc5oYgy
"MOTHER!!!" She screamed, crying. "FATHER!!!" She coughed.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9fqJMBDsG
She heard rushing steps as the doors of the room opened. She could only move her head, and when she turned it, she saw her mother and father together along with the maids and knights entering the room hurriedly.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12SmKA2YT4
"MOTHER! FATHER! WHY CAN'T I---" She screamed again, crying.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXa4NNag35
Gale, her mother, rushed to her with eyes suffered for crying the whole week.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Yy2y0rF4
When Gale hugged her tightly, Sloan thought of wanting to do it too. But she can't do something. So she cried even more.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIHoGGHorj
"Why I can't move? I...I want to move. I want to breathe easily...why it's so hard to breathe...mother, I'm gonna die...it's so painful...!!!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdb47JtPeX
Gale cried even more too. "No, you will live, alright? You won't leave me, Sloan. Please, baby? Don't leave mother, alright? It hurts, it hurts, it will be alright, it will be alright, baby, you will be fine,"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKC0nI0pTD
All Sloan could do was cry.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERmDRJSKpN
Shae clenched his fist and told the knight to call the physician at the first floor and told him that Sloan was awake.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMAZTT7E2b
Gale, still crying, turned her head to Shae, who was walking at a fast pace towards them.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hsBeSEWct
"Shae, I don't know what to do, why can't I just take her pain? Why?" Gale panicked, shaking. Shae held her hand. He was suffering for crying the whole week too.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUH0Gyq4wO
Their child almost died. Her heart was barely beating when she was taken to the physician's place after she was found by Corvina. And both of them wasn't around. They never knew who did that.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14WXHVpiqO
They could only know after their child was not in this condition anymore.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdERDex9EOq
Sloan was asleep for a month. She never woke up until then.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgdHNANMtF
And when the time comes she was awake, she became mute for another four months. Sloan was always at the corner or staring at the ceiling, never wanting go out.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ivChIEsm3
Gale and Shae both talk to her everytime even Corvina, who held the most guilt of them all. Corvina told Shae what happened. Shae was a little pissed off, but then he realized that she wasn't at fault. Corvina always take good care of his daughter.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbu0vIx1b1
Gale was the most patient for Sloan to get better. She never left Sloan the whole days for four months.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEugPK2hv4a
"Sloan, would you mind if we go outside? Do you want to see flowers?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ4lJx8ooZ
Sloan silently shake her head. She pointed the floor, signing 'only here'.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CBkwkujwn
Gale could only suffer in silent torment.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsICbhu14E
Shae too.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseFRwHac9p
He was also always there after his duties and finding clue who did this thing to Sloan. He can't sleep. He's taking supplements to be awake the whole days. He'd do anything.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVChA2DZ3a
"Would you like us to play? Sloan, let's play, outside, not swords. If you don't want swords, let's go to the plaza. Let's buy..." Shae was interrupted.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZMuowKK0C
Sloan shakes her head, pointing the floor. 'Just only here.'
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9EL5v1k1K
They couldn't do anything in those months but to stay by her side.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXiCo6cNZ1
One night, Sloan woke up. Her mother and father wasn't around in her room. She was alone. She dreamt of that creepy man again, and this time, she already remembered his face.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PIcZRES04
She remembered his face again. Now, she felt like there was nothing to be afraid of anymore. Her father, she felt, was stronger than anyone else. And by saying anyone else, she meant that that creepy man was one of them. No matter how that creepy man defeat people who's weaker than him, he can never defeat what's stronger than him.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgm3pAs8K3
She walked slowly, finally opening the door of her room for the first time once again. There outside, she saw the dark hallway. She walked slowly, having to recall the way to the kitchen area.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrznFusgvhJ
She walked down the stairs carefully, not wanting to wake up anyone else of the house. She took a lamp in the drawing room and head her way to the kitchen to got some food. She felt hungry.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K2hKxSkyL
But as she was reaching the jar of biscuits on the cabinet, it fell and the jar broke. By that reason, the entire people of the house was awakened, being alert of everything after the young lady of the house had this cruel accident by someone.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsCDjOEKHX
The first person who was awakened was Gale, who rushed to the kitchen, and saw Sloan.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C41cpUmqj
"Sloan...what are you...???"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGM9jbHbqQ
"...Mother?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVn40XrcCu
Gale was astonished, having to hear her talk again.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9myKhHHNV
"What...Sloan? Baby? You can..."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbADs70xR5
"Mother..." She repeated.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjbKrAaB05
Gale's heart almost burst out of happiness and relief and rushed to get her a jar of biscuits.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhV7B7ac5c
"Are you hungry?" Said Gale, tears on her eyes. Gale thought of herself that she looks stupid right now. Crying and giving her daughter food.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sAPY52jWL
When Shae and the other knights and maids entered the kitchen area, they were shocked for a minute. They saw Gale crying and smiling at the same time, and Sloan laughing along with her. She's already talking...God.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLD1x2ln6U
Shae cried too.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWTKMvSYs2
The entire house was rejoiced once again.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y4UjdvrzC
"That's a terrible and funny memory," Sloan whispered to herself as her lip's corner lifted.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2DQNtvYuZ
After that happened, Sloan described the creepy man to her father.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSkjkwuhcD
Turns out the creepy man was her father's rival. Shae always thought of him as greater than him at almost everything. But he has a darkness in his heart, he's always enveloped with envy. At this kingdom, many call him a fallen prodigy. The opposite of Shae, who was a named prodigy.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLABdX0vTMf
He fought with Shae and left the kingdom when he lose, developed a black magic to transfer only to his sword and did wicked things. He went here for revenge, after so many years.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMtLznlB4w
Shae travelled miles to find him and kill him. He was bestowed great honor after that, even to another kingdom. He just killed the evil man that's pestering the two kingdoms for more than a decade.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBamkuwPqym
Shae was a hero, she's also a great father, many women strive for him. But still, Gale left his place again once Sloan recovered. Sloan was then spending half of the year on her father, and half of the year on her mother.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhfClbmniY
Shae knows, that Gale never once changed her mind since she was decided and determined.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s7xplUWMN
That way, they will live in peace.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrrg9ySm0v
Sloan looked outside the window and her fingertips travelled through the window glass.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNai0Q0scIs
There was a snow outside, falling slowly through everywhere.
