"Miss, are you really going to live at the palace starting next week?!"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykthgLh8hM
Sloan raised her brows. "Now, now, you've all heard it from father, don't you?"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWE3G3LOXi
The younger knights bowed their heads. Sloan chuckled.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLoGuHcpe3
"Is there anyone going to stop me?"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRYeN99wpa
All the young trained knights at the training grounds stood straight, determined. Sloan almost choked in her saliva.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tAf808Kvm
"If you're going to stop me, you all should stop the prince first."
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbAPo6EKcI
They all seemed to lose hope when they heard her say that. Sloan smiled.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVlzVbktdb
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7684cJvs74
"Miss, if you live at the palace and become a queen someday, would you go visit us still?"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMPgGDtOoF
Sloan blinked. She looked down, and smiled. "Of course, why I wouldn't?"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSoS7xWxGR
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!"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeAEIspOuy
"How kind, Rovan,"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt1bsZTctp
The strong wind swayed her hair as she blankly smiled.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAWYgrL0rR
"I'm going to be a wife now, aren't I?"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0HOYOBRvR
"Miss, you can back out!"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib6fz5zAuy
Sloan snorted. As if she can.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3m3YTCnXy
"I wish," She whispered and turned around. "Go train now, I apologized for interrupting you all,"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5FvANdD3M
"NOT AT ALL!" They shouted.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE4prG4auO
Sloan grinned while shaking her head, heading her way to the drawing room where her father was.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGqpO6lQDk
"Sir," Sloan called.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsnu8kJLKj
Shae almost slammed the table. "Sloan, I told you to call me Father. Do I look like a visitor to you everytime?"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSfz0M7lNe
Sloan looked down and chuckled. "I apologized, Father,"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsON28k2a6
Shae clicked his tongue and signed her to sit. "What makes you head your way here? Any problems going on?"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDGRU0RZXG
"I need a carriage, I need to go somewhere."
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer8YwdUwro
"...Again?"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkmySkxeK4
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..."
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP5VjwdLdO
Shae nodded. "Bring a knight with you,"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio1meoi6CS
"I can, myself,"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB538kVHdB
Shae raised his brows. "No, Sloan,"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LSQcKaBFY
"Yes, Father."
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6RksWmdVV
Shae sighed. "...I don't know anymore, daughter. Just go."
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ045ckPLD
Sloan smirked. She bowed to him and left the drawing room. Shae could only suffer in silent torment.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDOOu47RZP
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO18i47QR5j
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OQ8gttlZo
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPCsgwcqye
Sloan too, she felt attached too her ever since as she can remember. She can even pass as her mother in other life.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2uGGB9ROa
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclIMagVsFw
Is it a bear? A monster?
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNfdHUMlvT
As she thought of that, her heartbeat goes rapid, like it's going to burst out of her any time.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDseGB4liW
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK2fzI7hTb
Sloan gulped, terrified.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm27re6IZg
"COME OUT!" She shouted, her knees was shaking.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0GWiypwVM
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKssN0iV1i
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!
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XQyE51u5G
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!
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkImYwpGzT0
She can fight, Sloan can fight. But she can't win! She won't win! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! SHE'S GOING TO DIE!
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KsG9Qh7Qy
JUST WHO IS THIS PERSON?!
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AWiAEP2Zj
"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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5V9zmlv8w
"Captain? Why can't you just say 'father?' Aren't you the child of that bastard prodigy that destroyed my life?"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8koIFetwy
Destroyed his life? What????
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiSupzmTO1
"What are you---! My father...he's not someone who ever wanted to destroy someone else's life!"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi7HrHrPWv
"Oho! That's right, he doesn't know!"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABm1QY3jht
What???
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEW4YIMhUu
"He doesn't know what?! Just what do you mean?! Are you fucked in the head, old man?!"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvNAeQix3r
He smiled again, creepily. Sloan wanted to run, but her feet stayed, she felt so terrified. She tried not to stutter.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf0ut79t0Q
"Old man, you say, I'm almost the same age as your father."
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnLfeO5gD8
Really??? What the hell??? He looks like my grandfather!
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2ISywUT7h
Sloan gulped. This is crazy. She's gonna die. Run!
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2165q6hgde
She tried to move her feet. But the man warned her.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ky1gPwMEB
"One move, I'll cut your head off, young lady."
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B1WquexDM
Sloan's pupils dilated. She almost fell her sword.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBItoDxc8o
"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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1UO2HRVho
Foolish? Stupid? Low life bastards? He know my mother? He called her stupid...for having me? What's my fault?
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFUeA1ywWU
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zBHQq6P3v
Sloan attacked, it was fast, the creepy man's instincts happened too slow, he didn't realized until his chest was deeply stabbed.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLCi0Dhmp7
His face twisted. "You little---"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MKfzLKeRH
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM1WTa2jQt
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uxuAzpUdA
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG833BLfL7z
I'm alive. How?
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0uoS2zMo9
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRdUkRlf5G
She don't want this.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TCj2eMHhj
This is so painful.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg2L476Ua7
The wounds. Her body can't move. She can't breathe like a normal person could.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZxEqQJKbx
She want to die.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1swHWP6QnX
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!
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeZZNfSPzO
She tried again, but it failed. Her tears began to fall.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgbEXxaxhR
"MOTHER!!!" She screamed, crying. "FATHER!!!" She coughed.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFaGXr94TM
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9SgbmUVrt
"MOTHER! FATHER! WHY CAN'T I---" She screamed again, crying.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxxj1xzEWP
Gale, her mother, rushed to her with eyes suffered for crying the whole week.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKWHzuc87o
When Gale hugged her tightly, Sloan thought of wanting to do it too. But she can't do something. So she cried even more.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxXEbyljb0
"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...!!!"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3zEtT7FtW
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,"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41gdAcOtfj
All Sloan could do was cry.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNGbARhWzu
Shae clenched his fist and told the knight to call the physician at the first floor and told him that Sloan was awake.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlgoyuTMJz
Gale, still crying, turned her head to Shae, who was walking at a fast pace towards them.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkf72adhy2
"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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9Y95f97a9
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPumD7VUzg
They could only know after their child was not in this condition anymore.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEFAlAF3XQ
Sloan was asleep for a month. She never woke up until then.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfKChbct0H
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZGMhF6ZMz
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFeo8URceR
Gale was the most patient for Sloan to get better. She never left Sloan the whole days for four months.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv9TqyUDgg
"Sloan, would you mind if we go outside? Do you want to see flowers?"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1XN5vP6Gt
Sloan silently shake her head. She pointed the floor, signing 'only here'.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sIlpZm1VR
Gale could only suffer in silent torment.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLy9myluJH
Shae too.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvjLFmCOq9
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpLaKWQqFS
"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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvijQRLSSQj
Sloan shakes her head, pointing the floor. 'Just only here.'
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wy9PwFzP8
They couldn't do anything in those months but to stay by her side.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EWjalA3Wk
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC7Vxc2QLp
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDP0hYtxpi
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2FdLfS8lB
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibPZ7ZDN75
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64RALTtVBk
The first person who was awakened was Gale, who rushed to the kitchen, and saw Sloan.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBNj9OG5Ai
"Sloan...what are you...???"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEs5jrx08S
"...Mother?"
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR2WLRBmgR
Gale was astonished, having to hear her talk again.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulAtdMwlR8
"What...Sloan? Baby? You can..."
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJpWNBcr2C
"Mother..." She repeated.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI2RYOVVaa
Gale's heart almost burst out of happiness and relief and rushed to get her a jar of biscuits.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZbhdYVqZ8
"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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM72DaRbTD6
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4st27zbnSc
Shae cried too.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWFa3VXvRx
The entire house was rejoiced once again.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx05tlZQmD
"That's a terrible and funny memory," Sloan whispered to herself as her lip's corner lifted.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYk3pRSaL9
After that happened, Sloan described the creepy man to her father.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI9doC2GrC
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUwl3MLElN
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE1f5tBmG9
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVS8kpITNW
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.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnPsA9Lf5A
Shae knows, that Gale never once changed her mind since she was decided and determined.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwPtXEKPdV
That way, they will live in peace.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrwImmVG4L
Sloan looked outside the window and her fingertips travelled through the window glass.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl8nJBkqyd
There was a snow outside, falling slowly through everywhere.
