"Miss, are you really going to live at the palace starting next week?!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFaNke1kZs
Sloan raised her brows. "Now, now, you've all heard it from father, don't you?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoIBAhLQuH
The younger knights bowed their heads. Sloan chuckled.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHxXjCakMC
"Is there anyone going to stop me?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWvQsi1BA5
All the young trained knights at the training grounds stood straight, determined. Sloan almost choked in her saliva.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZEpfQMElR
"If you're going to stop me, you all should stop the prince first."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zv4gyIima
They all seemed to lose hope when they heard her say that. Sloan smiled.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4ZgCPnmcB
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUCJzELAPp
"Miss, if you live at the palace and become a queen someday, would you go visit us still?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaW9Vw254Y
Sloan blinked. She looked down, and smiled. "Of course, why I wouldn't?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJtMydKeiW
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!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqsfKqS9yp
"How kind, Rovan,"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Y2mApc8D
The strong wind swayed her hair as she blankly smiled.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMi9rFGCrR
"I'm going to be a wife now, aren't I?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOsMKciUc4
"Miss, you can back out!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjC68JQHnH
Sloan snorted. As if she can.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TcorTrOQL
"I wish," She whispered and turned around. "Go train now, I apologized for interrupting you all,"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp9Hebn2iy
"NOT AT ALL!" They shouted.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1Ldq7A4yZ
Sloan grinned while shaking her head, heading her way to the drawing room where her father was.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8qYsz1Luk
"Sir," Sloan called.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke4iHxswOS
Shae almost slammed the table. "Sloan, I told you to call me Father. Do I look like a visitor to you everytime?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RqvxB6JSL
Sloan looked down and chuckled. "I apologized, Father,"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNMldk22il
Shae clicked his tongue and signed her to sit. "What makes you head your way here? Any problems going on?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A0zlqhbCb
"I need a carriage, I need to go somewhere."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECUqFPSis2
"...Again?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ehUfWab4w
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..."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyoDZiHoNW
Shae nodded. "Bring a knight with you,"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sfI8KNsRh
"I can, myself,"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnVupKNhY5
Shae raised his brows. "No, Sloan,"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAq56kiH57
"Yes, Father."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJsGqNaIbk
Shae sighed. "...I don't know anymore, daughter. Just go."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1FlXdE5ro
Sloan smirked. She bowed to him and left the drawing room. Shae could only suffer in silent torment.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdZ4m5ElYM
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFipNnxlYSi
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlWDaHescm
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncMZ0YylTi
Sloan too, she felt attached too her ever since as she can remember. She can even pass as her mother in other life.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEuOloBnB8
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjKACsGi78
Is it a bear? A monster?
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdGExsfu8S
As she thought of that, her heartbeat goes rapid, like it's going to burst out of her any time.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbxhT88xku
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlapvevK3No
Sloan gulped, terrified.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbNyC7rcPP
"COME OUT!" She shouted, her knees was shaking.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7btFpzDW5
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoQVFZvSYF
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!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3M0huBk4n
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!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb49yvPwlV
She can fight, Sloan can fight. But she can't win! She won't win! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! SHE'S GOING TO DIE!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNHXYfuUlr
JUST WHO IS THIS PERSON?!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkeYrmLRlN
"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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbePis1G1Qb
"Captain? Why can't you just say 'father?' Aren't you the child of that bastard prodigy that destroyed my life?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUihXRB2iU
Destroyed his life? What????
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZR6jdHY8H
"What are you---! My father...he's not someone who ever wanted to destroy someone else's life!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxdxFK6FuA
"Oho! That's right, he doesn't know!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6v9K0D6hr
What???
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVbtJwZiwc
"He doesn't know what?! Just what do you mean?! Are you fucked in the head, old man?!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKduGC4mPtJ
He smiled again, creepily. Sloan wanted to run, but her feet stayed, she felt so terrified. She tried not to stutter.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzrzsS0ins
"Old man, you say, I'm almost the same age as your father."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqtoursdQf
Really??? What the hell??? He looks like my grandfather!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbhw1nGbG7
Sloan gulped. This is crazy. She's gonna die. Run!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtKOZcxT4U
She tried to move her feet. But the man warned her.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3OwJI1xBg
"One move, I'll cut your head off, young lady."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuriqdv4Kiy
Sloan's pupils dilated. She almost fell her sword.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqIKWBcKMa
"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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3D6i7Zsft
Foolish? Stupid? Low life bastards? He know my mother? He called her stupid...for having me? What's my fault?
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhernYdaK3y
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyH8JgrEcO
Sloan attacked, it was fast, the creepy man's instincts happened too slow, he didn't realized until his chest was deeply stabbed.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5gLOqUmsr
His face twisted. "You little---"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDAX9O8tb2
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QE4rJXH20
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a2Dut1eYm
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jYFpMYAK7
I'm alive. How?
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvMsROmKl4
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8w9j6Z1LA
She don't want this.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiG5a31M1I
This is so painful.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhNICTuNeg
The wounds. Her body can't move. She can't breathe like a normal person could.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Pp9qcjp4
She want to die.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAj8yZIT5R
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!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpnkgJFdtC
She tried again, but it failed. Her tears began to fall.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6ilyIVK4E
"MOTHER!!!" She screamed, crying. "FATHER!!!" She coughed.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7x1ytrXN3
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3pNZPERnU
"MOTHER! FATHER! WHY CAN'T I---" She screamed again, crying.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2nlsGXSj9
Gale, her mother, rushed to her with eyes suffered for crying the whole week.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyyICmj7jJ
When Gale hugged her tightly, Sloan thought of wanting to do it too. But she can't do something. So she cried even more.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl53zb4Uyoa
"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...!!!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft00Y0BoZ3
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,"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnrzpeUwui
All Sloan could do was cry.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT3GNDUFVy
Shae clenched his fist and told the knight to call the physician at the first floor and told him that Sloan was awake.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbi8fcpMNv
Gale, still crying, turned her head to Shae, who was walking at a fast pace towards them.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaFRo5ydsh
"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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tEXDqEtfH
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdoC1R1YH6
They could only know after their child was not in this condition anymore.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUjBJR3O2Y
Sloan was asleep for a month. She never woke up until then.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWToxJ4QAM
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH8ofbxqSJ
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNRBHeQAgT
Gale was the most patient for Sloan to get better. She never left Sloan the whole days for four months.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNusLuHabRE
"Sloan, would you mind if we go outside? Do you want to see flowers?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvhwR4gA1L
Sloan silently shake her head. She pointed the floor, signing 'only here'.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1zojsZiBj
Gale could only suffer in silent torment.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR6Nwn4eoU
Shae too.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26DTCvBt7H
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WCpKPlxWZ
"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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrgeRIvevB
Sloan shakes her head, pointing the floor. 'Just only here.'
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYa6DUGtB0
They couldn't do anything in those months but to stay by her side.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRuen35L5R
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtVu8FNWes
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ985usqXJtx
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6aGoGizzi
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJon9iSNesy
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSDVIi7Q4t
The first person who was awakened was Gale, who rushed to the kitchen, and saw Sloan.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgqWB20k3F
"Sloan...what are you...???"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC55853bDaW
"...Mother?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwMJYo5h7O
Gale was astonished, having to hear her talk again.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNMHJYGlBp
"What...Sloan? Baby? You can..."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH5RT9YKlL
"Mother..." She repeated.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYCmcFT519
Gale's heart almost burst out of happiness and relief and rushed to get her a jar of biscuits.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaP6W3bXeZ
"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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8At1jDyKCz
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6Un5TRcxG
Shae cried too.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltuiLzth4X
The entire house was rejoiced once again.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI5PnA6SYu
"That's a terrible and funny memory," Sloan whispered to herself as her lip's corner lifted.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8Fbsyz6aC
After that happened, Sloan described the creepy man to her father.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhsVuWLpCm
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx8RQ0ui3c
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5SGrVCSLb
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYK4AoPB58
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGnE1snUh8
Shae knows, that Gale never once changed her mind since she was decided and determined.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig0s8i9kbj
That way, they will live in peace.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTFkUUZLez
Sloan looked outside the window and her fingertips travelled through the window glass.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbEfwHE1nC
There was a snow outside, falling slowly through everywhere.
