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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5sa8byOOV
She lost rationality just now.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSMzbbwtkI
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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ681qKymYJV
It felt so peaceful, quiet, and compose.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfoA8CqTmo
Everytime she's alone, she's tend to be philosophical and think of things that will give her inner peace and less worries.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBJIevAcuP
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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyqLFwOGra
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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qZxxl6A4I
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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8xUbOMzy6
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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VR2syguKf
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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0mG6OGJA9
"You! WATCH OUT! ROLL OVER THE SIDE!!! QUICK!!!"
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdcMzrlpnl
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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpBJ12CglZ
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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWukYHpiu6
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?????
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFPbQPjgQk
"YOU! RUN! CALL THE KNIGHTS RIGHT AWAY!" Sloan shouted, out of breath.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1544z7FTy
"Y-YES! YOUR HIGHNESS!"
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVD3CSAOkW
I'm still 'Miss', Sloan wanted to say, but the gardener ran away already.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ti43Akhto
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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgho5unhFs
She slowly step back, still pointing the dagger and breathing heavily.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqNS98o7D5
It's fine...I'm not gonna die...
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgGa5sgsdm
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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTq2YCuTG6
But this snake here...it shouldn't be here! Why is it here?!
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vDgsip9VL
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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaatsXaUUdb
Think, damn! Sloan, think! Damn! Damn! Damn!
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQEyQc2tRO
I take my words back, I'm gonna die today---
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTC0NJnh9s
The tree!
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM26co0vXuJ
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!
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRH58z2mvD
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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX265Ie5bEL
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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa3VdTaaBJ
Damn...my foot...my foot still hurts. Now my head was spinning...could she get a break?
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZpjoy9g20
She's getting thirsty and restraining herself from fainting.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2CY0xDzxc
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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVYihm5qpd
She stopped.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xBJm1KuN5
It's dead?
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDSKj3F1KV
It's dead...But...
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUaZJvgZy4
No...something's wrong.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lJlsvSvdB
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!
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFJZh5Mu1P
And this one lasted for only about seconds!
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFXSbLFq9k
Something was wrong!
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27c7GptpZK
With that thoughts, she started forming conclusions in her head.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn7XnrbkF5
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???!!!!!
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZiP0Jh6w1
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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz0MQqXfbh
Even before stopping and getting away from the dead snake, Sage did not let go of her.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjwhuJ0XlY
"Your highness! Let go! Something's wrong with the snake and I have to look at it!"
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhvm7jn4xR
"Sloan, it's dangerous!" Sage gripped her in his arms, afraid.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU2QosHnEp
"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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQWv3oUe4u
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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQza4S2pf0S
The knights started to surround the snake , "Don't go near! Back away! It's still dangerous!"
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8O0qfLxBt
All of them was distracted both by the snake and Sloan shouting.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HpkZk4FRY
What's wrong? What's going on? They asked themselves and become more terrified.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNDveUQCP3
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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafEN4ykLkm
When the king and queen arrived there, it was all a chaos.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXl8pHBxw6
Only Sage could only think of one thing at that time.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVaJiBOwAV
Sloan.
