"Miss, are you really going to live at the palace starting next week?!"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRZ7AbADGP
Sloan raised her brows. "Now, now, you've all heard it from father, don't you?"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubFRbuyBSp
The younger knights bowed their heads. Sloan chuckled.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QajTHnvK4
"Is there anyone going to stop me?"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoSmpAvKhQ
All the young trained knights at the training grounds stood straight, determined. Sloan almost choked in her saliva.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHygIZphZKR
"If you're going to stop me, you all should stop the prince first."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uyJ290T71
They all seemed to lose hope when they heard her say that. Sloan smiled.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tPYdiGVrR
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoZE7YntVc
"Miss, if you live at the palace and become a queen someday, would you go visit us still?"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7IisnYyf4
Sloan blinked. She looked down, and smiled. "Of course, why I wouldn't?"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn16xlrjdO0
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!"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNiayMiYHM
"How kind, Rovan,"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2e1p1hGdB
The strong wind swayed her hair as she blankly smiled.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFqhcpcKVS
"I'm going to be a wife now, aren't I?"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kAKtn3wSO
"Miss, you can back out!"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAexDa4ZnyN
Sloan snorted. As if she can.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4j8Wg3aUc
"I wish," She whispered and turned around. "Go train now, I apologized for interrupting you all,"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6ID2zqKos
"NOT AT ALL!" They shouted.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblKlxT9FOb
Sloan grinned while shaking her head, heading her way to the drawing room where her father was.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInnstvr3PQ
"Sir," Sloan called.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gkmPSFtuz
Shae almost slammed the table. "Sloan, I told you to call me Father. Do I look like a visitor to you everytime?"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4bcqTMkkC
Sloan looked down and chuckled. "I apologized, Father,"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59eCycs0sy
Shae clicked his tongue and signed her to sit. "What makes you head your way here? Any problems going on?"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50XSuDXZFI
"I need a carriage, I need to go somewhere."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7NNfZ2EYG
"...Again?"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrsvVNS694
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..."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP053u9Muao
Shae nodded. "Bring a knight with you,"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlkt3to2WL
"I can, myself,"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcu709PD0C
Shae raised his brows. "No, Sloan,"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH5KEdJURI
"Yes, Father."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22hK2eSOk9
Shae sighed. "...I don't know anymore, daughter. Just go."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusS7kzaTUA
Sloan smirked. She bowed to him and left the drawing room. Shae could only suffer in silent torment.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhw5UMeohP
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoci7vlDGrm
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWvDN2wZ06
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctT7ZMqPjR
Sloan too, she felt attached too her ever since as she can remember. She can even pass as her mother in other life.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm5859YsP1
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxyYXC0cKO
Is it a bear? A monster?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5bSGheu1b
As she thought of that, her heartbeat goes rapid, like it's going to burst out of her any time.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccXQuzh3nn
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8p5XlQslA
Sloan gulped, terrified.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIq0fZJI6g
"COME OUT!" She shouted, her knees was shaking.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLeegSDd3K
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwupKE5H96J
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!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFFkM87Ylz
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!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFiEqdghJH
She can fight, Sloan can fight. But she can't win! She won't win! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! SHE'S GOING TO DIE!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRHJ6kfSFA
JUST WHO IS THIS PERSON?!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEP4l5va4Z
"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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHNaqNOO1U
"Captain? Why can't you just say 'father?' Aren't you the child of that bastard prodigy that destroyed my life?"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiEIB8PWV7
Destroyed his life? What????
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJnDNLYv4y
"What are you---! My father...he's not someone who ever wanted to destroy someone else's life!"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL26qFbv0u
"Oho! That's right, he doesn't know!"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Kv7S7t9Z
What???
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoouUI4E0I
"He doesn't know what?! Just what do you mean?! Are you fucked in the head, old man?!"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbVpRTBNfP
He smiled again, creepily. Sloan wanted to run, but her feet stayed, she felt so terrified. She tried not to stutter.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUXo7xs6m6
"Old man, you say, I'm almost the same age as your father."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoeBOy5l1S
Really??? What the hell??? He looks like my grandfather!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBNjOCusMB
Sloan gulped. This is crazy. She's gonna die. Run!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRVnJszd1R
She tried to move her feet. But the man warned her.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML0flQzJ5o
"One move, I'll cut your head off, young lady."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmN7yIlQeM
Sloan's pupils dilated. She almost fell her sword.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQNkPdF289
"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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJKeDmeMaC
Foolish? Stupid? Low life bastards? He know my mother? He called her stupid...for having me? What's my fault?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8KBPmg2n5
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTkNlmXASJ
Sloan attacked, it was fast, the creepy man's instincts happened too slow, he didn't realized until his chest was deeply stabbed.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpJ1CYCth0
His face twisted. "You little---"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba3P7G0QRl
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc1AH5DsWq
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy23HThUyZ
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N30J4gtEy
I'm alive. How?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JpKOqiPRI
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPQbFmxaKX
She don't want this.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2QkSwknmm
This is so painful.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ666R3Qsbn3
The wounds. Her body can't move. She can't breathe like a normal person could.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfvnw7C8oq
She want to die.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYfV9b06dv
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!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykKBpbRlz7
She tried again, but it failed. Her tears began to fall.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGeCr3Sewn
"MOTHER!!!" She screamed, crying. "FATHER!!!" She coughed.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVL7SN8q27
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8Tce0fIAj
"MOTHER! FATHER! WHY CAN'T I---" She screamed again, crying.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aXwgloz9n
Gale, her mother, rushed to her with eyes suffered for crying the whole week.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjzj0zQuvf
When Gale hugged her tightly, Sloan thought of wanting to do it too. But she can't do something. So she cried even more.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD0Nj716Fw
"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...!!!"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ4WbVrvMl
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,"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eIA8vaDK8
All Sloan could do was cry.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5grrbrEvHu
Shae clenched his fist and told the knight to call the physician at the first floor and told him that Sloan was awake.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKDnNapizS
Gale, still crying, turned her head to Shae, who was walking at a fast pace towards them.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMwINvsRQl
"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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbMZbvFgmK
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwF4MTXBhh
They could only know after their child was not in this condition anymore.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIv8nBLx2H
Sloan was asleep for a month. She never woke up until then.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsMHJytCuB
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArBPu8UAS4
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uy00eTyrd
Gale was the most patient for Sloan to get better. She never left Sloan the whole days for four months.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVnAdWVp0L
"Sloan, would you mind if we go outside? Do you want to see flowers?"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nq8gapbbD
Sloan silently shake her head. She pointed the floor, signing 'only here'.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIltPINlGqV
Gale could only suffer in silent torment.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U6SjBNICF
Shae too.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoe7Jqdh2U
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UgIY7MicS
"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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQslLK9zzGG
Sloan shakes her head, pointing the floor. 'Just only here.'
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG2YUDbSdy
They couldn't do anything in those months but to stay by her side.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X8LjkL25A
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfofoez18g
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uHP6g9cNp
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1d3ITLK66
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVlIq0V2Oy
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYkv116VKE
The first person who was awakened was Gale, who rushed to the kitchen, and saw Sloan.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRZP4Ux2JS
"Sloan...what are you...???"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZuTVca9AO
"...Mother?"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwYtqFpzjq
Gale was astonished, having to hear her talk again.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5bIFCLCcS
"What...Sloan? Baby? You can..."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelyzAU2XNx
"Mother..." She repeated.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvAOpoKqj1
Gale's heart almost burst out of happiness and relief and rushed to get her a jar of biscuits.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN821ztIzM
"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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6cJmZGIa0
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGqU9ydgMl
Shae cried too.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKKNNREw2U
The entire house was rejoiced once again.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaPOHatawU
"That's a terrible and funny memory," Sloan whispered to herself as her lip's corner lifted.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNwcWLHTnv
After that happened, Sloan described the creepy man to her father.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTQC0LjPLk
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQnfcHHXlU
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz7qXJLb3Y
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoobE9nLrBK
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSyS1jz3ZG
Shae knows, that Gale never once changed her mind since she was decided and determined.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeO2TlR6HA
That way, they will live in peace.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPikBygyzkq
Sloan looked outside the window and her fingertips travelled through the window glass.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlO0ye1ix0
There was a snow outside, falling slowly through everywhere.
