"Miss, are you really going to live at the palace starting next week?!"
93Please respect copyright.PENANAnpK6oQcyeW
Sloan raised her brows. "Now, now, you've all heard it from father, don't you?"
93Please respect copyright.PENANAhr0T6Uygy0
The younger knights bowed their heads. Sloan chuckled.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA4AsqC4buBj
"Is there anyone going to stop me?"
93Please respect copyright.PENANAU8UOnGNrD8
All the young trained knights at the training grounds stood straight, determined. Sloan almost choked in her saliva.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAKLj8cd0rrV
"If you're going to stop me, you all should stop the prince first."
93Please respect copyright.PENANAA3hGykGGuj
They all seemed to lose hope when they heard her say that. Sloan smiled.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAsr0ILtuN9f
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAGjco4BOQs5
"Miss, if you live at the palace and become a queen someday, would you go visit us still?"
93Please respect copyright.PENANALAhsI8ycWB
Sloan blinked. She looked down, and smiled. "Of course, why I wouldn't?"
93Please respect copyright.PENANAI1EWCKFcj8
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!"
93Please respect copyright.PENANAzKDnm0eIu4
"How kind, Rovan,"
93Please respect copyright.PENANAXvyKkdwCka
The strong wind swayed her hair as she blankly smiled.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAjz0ZW1PpVT
"I'm going to be a wife now, aren't I?"
93Please respect copyright.PENANAVba1QdubZQ
"Miss, you can back out!"
93Please respect copyright.PENANAiUbtAHJPLf
Sloan snorted. As if she can.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAQZDLuu2yQ7
"I wish," She whispered and turned around. "Go train now, I apologized for interrupting you all,"
93Please respect copyright.PENANATcIiliIPeZ
"NOT AT ALL!" They shouted.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA7rU8Ceknpe
Sloan grinned while shaking her head, heading her way to the drawing room where her father was.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAnekuFLuuu4
"Sir," Sloan called.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAAwCiPIbJUm
Shae almost slammed the table. "Sloan, I told you to call me Father. Do I look like a visitor to you everytime?"
93Please respect copyright.PENANAUMfmuaF6MT
Sloan looked down and chuckled. "I apologized, Father,"
93Please respect copyright.PENANA0tPHhWK55i
Shae clicked his tongue and signed her to sit. "What makes you head your way here? Any problems going on?"
93Please respect copyright.PENANA2OUbPwU86V
"I need a carriage, I need to go somewhere."
93Please respect copyright.PENANAErTeHgm8Sz
"...Again?"
93Please respect copyright.PENANApoqeDMs5R0
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..."
93Please respect copyright.PENANAwNa78m0DdD
Shae nodded. "Bring a knight with you,"
93Please respect copyright.PENANAGLANd8eZcR
"I can, myself,"
93Please respect copyright.PENANAm8yh9MLk2t
Shae raised his brows. "No, Sloan,"
93Please respect copyright.PENANAsvTObcF7cl
"Yes, Father."
93Please respect copyright.PENANA4Rj7FHOiiu
Shae sighed. "...I don't know anymore, daughter. Just go."
93Please respect copyright.PENANAFcsuw2dWW8
Sloan smirked. She bowed to him and left the drawing room. Shae could only suffer in silent torment.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAmyNVx7mY9J
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA2Pp4biAVez
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAsFqXEvWerY
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAIT3n3VnOTP
Sloan too, she felt attached too her ever since as she can remember. She can even pass as her mother in other life.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6Vs6TBbBW
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAQpyURVJhhc
Is it a bear? A monster?
93Please respect copyright.PENANAMiaq93iIlI
As she thought of that, her heartbeat goes rapid, like it's going to burst out of her any time.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAhFRKJeZYaX
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAER82y0Bu7O
Sloan gulped, terrified.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA7B1NrwxHnp
"COME OUT!" She shouted, her knees was shaking.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA3M5zOTpYoO
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAdaA9W9L6z0
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!
93Please respect copyright.PENANAIOkRmie4w5
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!
93Please respect copyright.PENANAYhOTgEJQQi
She can fight, Sloan can fight. But she can't win! She won't win! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! SHE'S GOING TO DIE!
93Please respect copyright.PENANAPCDfV1FCr6
JUST WHO IS THIS PERSON?!
93Please respect copyright.PENANA4CpD8XAnap
"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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4avIzyYyM
"Captain? Why can't you just say 'father?' Aren't you the child of that bastard prodigy that destroyed my life?"
93Please respect copyright.PENANABQZaHyAVVo
Destroyed his life? What????
93Please respect copyright.PENANA14bTT3vvYi
"What are you---! My father...he's not someone who ever wanted to destroy someone else's life!"
93Please respect copyright.PENANADt76NvwKqm
"Oho! That's right, he doesn't know!"
93Please respect copyright.PENANAoSS1Xbq8WS
What???
93Please respect copyright.PENANAMHSjiIk5vV
"He doesn't know what?! Just what do you mean?! Are you fucked in the head, old man?!"
93Please respect copyright.PENANAkGMz1QSkdl
He smiled again, creepily. Sloan wanted to run, but her feet stayed, she felt so terrified. She tried not to stutter.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAnnFi63KDNT
"Old man, you say, I'm almost the same age as your father."
93Please respect copyright.PENANA1t9yoqRAtS
Really??? What the hell??? He looks like my grandfather!
93Please respect copyright.PENANAMDHT7HEW1N
Sloan gulped. This is crazy. She's gonna die. Run!
93Please respect copyright.PENANAgx51X95HWE
She tried to move her feet. But the man warned her.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAE6xsefhD7k
"One move, I'll cut your head off, young lady."
93Please respect copyright.PENANAhvhIUX6C0b
Sloan's pupils dilated. She almost fell her sword.
93Please respect copyright.PENANABg6peUOzjF
"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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANArOY8csXUbf
Foolish? Stupid? Low life bastards? He know my mother? He called her stupid...for having me? What's my fault?
93Please respect copyright.PENANAVrCHt9V13i
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAaq0huD2Ldl
Sloan attacked, it was fast, the creepy man's instincts happened too slow, he didn't realized until his chest was deeply stabbed.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAzGCzKGpGjt
His face twisted. "You little---"
93Please respect copyright.PENANAhzmw5HaLJX
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA6dERnTFeQO
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA8Hu8dzImGF
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA5sfi2255Lp
I'm alive. How?
93Please respect copyright.PENANAnrv9rJo9Et
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAep5rFLX3iV
She don't want this.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAkueadQwwkl
This is so painful.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAHnqn9htAB4
The wounds. Her body can't move. She can't breathe like a normal person could.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAVADOAmDB7V
She want to die.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA9zN9WIaeTn
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!
93Please respect copyright.PENANAl6glABApAV
She tried again, but it failed. Her tears began to fall.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAoAc2O9WdnO
"MOTHER!!!" She screamed, crying. "FATHER!!!" She coughed.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAupNupMwWPg
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA82NmO2LoAs
"MOTHER! FATHER! WHY CAN'T I---" She screamed again, crying.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAWoGTbGi1cf
Gale, her mother, rushed to her with eyes suffered for crying the whole week.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ne2rCPBri
When Gale hugged her tightly, Sloan thought of wanting to do it too. But she can't do something. So she cried even more.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAu6IOAHBHaD
"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...!!!"
93Please respect copyright.PENANADQkt71MYS0
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,"
93Please respect copyright.PENANA9sutflLsDR
All Sloan could do was cry.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAEYLh5g0A0Y
Shae clenched his fist and told the knight to call the physician at the first floor and told him that Sloan was awake.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAxdVkP3VfR0
Gale, still crying, turned her head to Shae, who was walking at a fast pace towards them.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAwLDygfytX1
"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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAOsNqCEMpOj
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANABEqYy8dnA6
They could only know after their child was not in this condition anymore.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA5ClMjVzwMk
Sloan was asleep for a month. She never woke up until then.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA1usRVmPWT8
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA0EPpxf9ZNK
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAr17mqX4x2S
Gale was the most patient for Sloan to get better. She never left Sloan the whole days for four months.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA5rylEKEypm
"Sloan, would you mind if we go outside? Do you want to see flowers?"
93Please respect copyright.PENANARZ6DdYBF83
Sloan silently shake her head. She pointed the floor, signing 'only here'.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAw6G1Ex7Uzc
Gale could only suffer in silent torment.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAdxMYW6VoC9
Shae too.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAC9JgMfSOdw
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANApYl84BTXTx
"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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAwJLcqhNW0X
Sloan shakes her head, pointing the floor. 'Just only here.'
93Please respect copyright.PENANAsQA2au9ABM
They couldn't do anything in those months but to stay by her side.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAa1yS72wBwf
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANABYdQeuZrrf
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7P1Styi0l
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAHwB5vqz2Te
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAzpNMLHtbFk
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA2PLIIaqPhz
The first person who was awakened was Gale, who rushed to the kitchen, and saw Sloan.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAWf5Qabzqny
"Sloan...what are you...???"
93Please respect copyright.PENANA1O4ykLkLot
"...Mother?"
93Please respect copyright.PENANAmgfWWWfvSh
Gale was astonished, having to hear her talk again.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAnEkIdeWskM
"What...Sloan? Baby? You can..."
93Please respect copyright.PENANAIkXJPQv3Wo
"Mother..." She repeated.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAlUE03v7Thc
Gale's heart almost burst out of happiness and relief and rushed to get her a jar of biscuits.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAA4KTMzURhH
"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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAjkEInaJZH6
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA7nVsPSxq2R
Shae cried too.
93Please respect copyright.PENANACpjvGyoteX
The entire house was rejoiced once again.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAUFiXaCIPFD
"That's a terrible and funny memory," Sloan whispered to herself as her lip's corner lifted.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAGOkbd1cvES
After that happened, Sloan described the creepy man to her father.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAnLP51eCqki
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANABl0WbDfflX
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAJsWWqbyzHN
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAblunA8H36T
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAsDH6735daM
Shae knows, that Gale never once changed her mind since she was decided and determined.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAQLEq3SkJ1Z
That way, they will live in peace.
93Please respect copyright.PENANALvuIrcX2Vg
Sloan looked outside the window and her fingertips travelled through the window glass.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAhHdyVbo90O
There was a snow outside, falling slowly through everywhere.
