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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O69I5h0v2
She lost rationality just now.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vzshb25GN
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtOsLlH2Oh
It felt so peaceful, quiet, and compose.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBKFHd3kPu
Everytime she's alone, she's tend to be philosophical and think of things that will give her inner peace and less worries.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTKKcwTmb1
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGwsaHADBR
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvFY3dSj7s
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MgaKxIkJK
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbetVZC7rGz
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pw6gufdRk
"You! WATCH OUT! ROLL OVER THE SIDE!!! QUICK!!!"
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxsD1ndQAu
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIw0HBz1aj
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzMM3FAX8E
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?????
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPhlV2orrL
"YOU! RUN! CALL THE KNIGHTS RIGHT AWAY!" Sloan shouted, out of breath.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J0ZcH8xZM
"Y-YES! YOUR HIGHNESS!"
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJCvRD7eHv
I'm still 'Miss', Sloan wanted to say, but the gardener ran away already.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8Fa22mqH2
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMGV5q63t9
She slowly step back, still pointing the dagger and breathing heavily.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiCboWoAQt
It's fine...I'm not gonna die...
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTZgm3TEL0
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBnMLZ2oj0
But this snake here...it shouldn't be here! Why is it here?!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hlb7xCYog
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgEbyBBxDN
Think, damn! Sloan, think! Damn! Damn! Damn!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb8nbc2Kjh
I take my words back, I'm gonna die today---
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFMy7OaIc8
The tree!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIsAYqmT1u
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!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarncisUbyX
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtmpn29tNZ
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOXZjvQ4EE
Damn...my foot...my foot still hurts. Now my head was spinning...could she get a break?
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8BI5us3ql
She's getting thirsty and restraining herself from fainting.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRquAv8fskU
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrNDUbzTDK
She stopped.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXIaP8NYbc
It's dead?
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FEiq5MFLm
It's dead...But...
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoaNlWT7Vm
No...something's wrong.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKzdADDMry
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!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QQ1707LpX
And this one lasted for only about seconds!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCwCcgJBZh
Something was wrong!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QsoKmehrR
With that thoughts, she started forming conclusions in her head.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLotOwaa3v
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???!!!!!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yvqGiG7xP
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzDb9QPkRr
Even before stopping and getting away from the dead snake, Sage did not let go of her.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ntbLZDHYC
"Your highness! Let go! Something's wrong with the snake and I have to look at it!"
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0udahyBdAD
"Sloan, it's dangerous!" Sage gripped her in his arms, afraid.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCovOHMy2Di
"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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI11ooanaxg
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwAKDVkEli
The knights started to surround the snake , "Don't go near! Back away! It's still dangerous!"
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m0XaJ1OVz
All of them was distracted both by the snake and Sloan shouting.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSvKh0wj98
What's wrong? What's going on? They asked themselves and become more terrified.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXqYircWey
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUUzIIDfRK
When the king and queen arrived there, it was all a chaos.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelZtFmmZfO
Only Sage could only think of one thing at that time.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VMHQ3ualm
Sloan.
