"Miss, are you really going to live at the palace starting next week?!"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAxrhVTKxFcB
Sloan raised her brows. "Now, now, you've all heard it from father, don't you?"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAbJInealwYQ
The younger knights bowed their heads. Sloan chuckled.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAjpk7NBtEh7
"Is there anyone going to stop me?"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAYE8C3IpY06
All the young trained knights at the training grounds stood straight, determined. Sloan almost choked in her saliva.
194Please respect copyright.PENANATbZFdt6jUd
"If you're going to stop me, you all should stop the prince first."
194Please respect copyright.PENANAja2OCjwSsN
They all seemed to lose hope when they heard her say that. Sloan smiled.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAxvdymIDLVU
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANA7Iey1q7Xug
"Miss, if you live at the palace and become a queen someday, would you go visit us still?"
194Please respect copyright.PENANA20YUzxgwnD
Sloan blinked. She looked down, and smiled. "Of course, why I wouldn't?"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAhvFimWIZV3
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!"
194Please respect copyright.PENANATu2Ku4tnrQ
"How kind, Rovan,"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAhWpWeUq83B
The strong wind swayed her hair as she blankly smiled.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAj0651js3zA
"I'm going to be a wife now, aren't I?"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAyatQAlpiwu
"Miss, you can back out!"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAMgcEAoiCCW
Sloan snorted. As if she can.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAP3qqYwCWcQ
"I wish," She whispered and turned around. "Go train now, I apologized for interrupting you all,"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAKGscxFKCxZ
"NOT AT ALL!" They shouted.
194Please respect copyright.PENANA227ILCZz7n
Sloan grinned while shaking her head, heading her way to the drawing room where her father was.
194Please respect copyright.PENANA1eZHO7tWEX
"Sir," Sloan called.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAgSuCt5nWiS
Shae almost slammed the table. "Sloan, I told you to call me Father. Do I look like a visitor to you everytime?"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAXutxZi3H8g
Sloan looked down and chuckled. "I apologized, Father,"
194Please respect copyright.PENANA3ixdXnntYv
Shae clicked his tongue and signed her to sit. "What makes you head your way here? Any problems going on?"
194Please respect copyright.PENANA5fZATFiOfE
"I need a carriage, I need to go somewhere."
194Please respect copyright.PENANAudVeSDbs8T
"...Again?"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAmNuv108mon
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..."
194Please respect copyright.PENANA4A8GMEf1Yt
Shae nodded. "Bring a knight with you,"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAXGn5wIM2tH
"I can, myself,"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAId1luOnMCA
Shae raised his brows. "No, Sloan,"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAhOmTU4cvDx
"Yes, Father."
194Please respect copyright.PENANAxZg1MBbbKn
Shae sighed. "...I don't know anymore, daughter. Just go."
194Please respect copyright.PENANAyVdeQW721i
Sloan smirked. She bowed to him and left the drawing room. Shae could only suffer in silent torment.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAvCTX8E7hCH
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAbXbhVm2jCd
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANABge8jM6wFP
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAvx5Sj4Hu2h
Sloan too, she felt attached too her ever since as she can remember. She can even pass as her mother in other life.
194Please respect copyright.PENANA9el9Zdr7Ea
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANANs2CSP8QJG
Is it a bear? A monster?
194Please respect copyright.PENANAnn1C2u0Y35
As she thought of that, her heartbeat goes rapid, like it's going to burst out of her any time.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAzUbfwrhxwS
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAZR1pHRkYcI
Sloan gulped, terrified.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAm5OPNSWHGx
"COME OUT!" She shouted, her knees was shaking.
194Please respect copyright.PENANA9qUEtIilXJ
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANARYxk2gvIyo
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!
194Please respect copyright.PENANAG26wieRfaG
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!
194Please respect copyright.PENANASiiIvbaCMS
She can fight, Sloan can fight. But she can't win! She won't win! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! SHE'S GOING TO DIE!
194Please respect copyright.PENANAwmLXPipoIy
JUST WHO IS THIS PERSON?!
194Please respect copyright.PENANAMxTvN2DouX
"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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANASi0ut59HBt
"Captain? Why can't you just say 'father?' Aren't you the child of that bastard prodigy that destroyed my life?"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAOuGdwLMWo4
Destroyed his life? What????
194Please respect copyright.PENANAIrxUDLERCS
"What are you---! My father...he's not someone who ever wanted to destroy someone else's life!"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAREYZY1AZgm
"Oho! That's right, he doesn't know!"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAwuneGwS0hi
What???
194Please respect copyright.PENANABUs9aiinOE
"He doesn't know what?! Just what do you mean?! Are you fucked in the head, old man?!"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAK96NX9uqpR
He smiled again, creepily. Sloan wanted to run, but her feet stayed, she felt so terrified. She tried not to stutter.
194Please respect copyright.PENANA4X7WhWL8WM
"Old man, you say, I'm almost the same age as your father."
194Please respect copyright.PENANAc1ldW1mjLF
Really??? What the hell??? He looks like my grandfather!
194Please respect copyright.PENANA2Jgw30ZwRv
Sloan gulped. This is crazy. She's gonna die. Run!
194Please respect copyright.PENANApbI2jSUqNP
She tried to move her feet. But the man warned her.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAVkpKDdImSb
"One move, I'll cut your head off, young lady."
194Please respect copyright.PENANA5gJ28GkYl6
Sloan's pupils dilated. She almost fell her sword.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAuSkjK1vWfn
"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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANA7ibaqp3RJo
Foolish? Stupid? Low life bastards? He know my mother? He called her stupid...for having me? What's my fault?
194Please respect copyright.PENANAH6ZGRkC9v5
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAt6f2MjdjKa
Sloan attacked, it was fast, the creepy man's instincts happened too slow, he didn't realized until his chest was deeply stabbed.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAyzMsKcEK0k
His face twisted. "You little---"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAYmnOKHtv3S
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAvrY53NSDjs
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6tAxVa5P7
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAUmWet2UjOD
I'm alive. How?
194Please respect copyright.PENANABagBR8bZte
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAYBzngmG7NI
She don't want this.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAevPP96h1jY
This is so painful.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAMOaLL4NdH7
The wounds. Her body can't move. She can't breathe like a normal person could.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAPIWZR5AYG7
She want to die.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAu9IqhX03SA
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!
194Please respect copyright.PENANAHFpIMGDn4s
She tried again, but it failed. Her tears began to fall.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAluWPf7RCCh
"MOTHER!!!" She screamed, crying. "FATHER!!!" She coughed.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAyLlZYf9DAo
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAQpL9Fu6UJ7
"MOTHER! FATHER! WHY CAN'T I---" She screamed again, crying.
194Please respect copyright.PENANA70s9VPCJk1
Gale, her mother, rushed to her with eyes suffered for crying the whole week.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAueWnQlgERh
When Gale hugged her tightly, Sloan thought of wanting to do it too. But she can't do something. So she cried even more.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAC3loTsjUz9
"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...!!!"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAyqukDhrRos
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,"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAo1gFGnodyS
All Sloan could do was cry.
194Please respect copyright.PENANArWtiQUyKN5
Shae clenched his fist and told the knight to call the physician at the first floor and told him that Sloan was awake.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAaD8OQhm6sP
Gale, still crying, turned her head to Shae, who was walking at a fast pace towards them.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAY21bwCtrD5
"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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAzpt5t6FKoL
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAs4yj4lDrsr
They could only know after their child was not in this condition anymore.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAKgfAeOI5Zq
Sloan was asleep for a month. She never woke up until then.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAiCpeVq6GpY
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAqpsED5rBrj
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANALgcpOmKpGp
Gale was the most patient for Sloan to get better. She never left Sloan the whole days for four months.
194Please respect copyright.PENANArz9t6Ync1c
"Sloan, would you mind if we go outside? Do you want to see flowers?"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAOcf4tgFz2E
Sloan silently shake her head. She pointed the floor, signing 'only here'.
194Please respect copyright.PENANADefNQFkCYT
Gale could only suffer in silent torment.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAKjZ1t1usG7
Shae too.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAxH3LlMNB7W
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANA7h01BPZMOI
"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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAWQDFKmlJxt
Sloan shakes her head, pointing the floor. 'Just only here.'
194Please respect copyright.PENANApmVwEGALON
They couldn't do anything in those months but to stay by her side.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAdNCGRMd3uA
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAD6cAEOc0np
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAneKrLz5yI3
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANASJ82Td3ud3
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAB9SyxUh5iv
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAMIK3I5JtnN
The first person who was awakened was Gale, who rushed to the kitchen, and saw Sloan.
194Please respect copyright.PENANATydyYLyeKN
"Sloan...what are you...???"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4rIndQ2bs
"...Mother?"
194Please respect copyright.PENANAgH1cvFOmfo
Gale was astonished, having to hear her talk again.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAv03IYiUzj0
"What...Sloan? Baby? You can..."
194Please respect copyright.PENANAMOfX8qObCF
"Mother..." She repeated.
194Please respect copyright.PENANA1xrAeTtuSZ
Gale's heart almost burst out of happiness and relief and rushed to get her a jar of biscuits.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAFTjucn5uLJ
"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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANA4AGJUGjCKT
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAInCkU1bAZa
Shae cried too.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAz6GCvAcXm1
The entire house was rejoiced once again.
194Please respect copyright.PENANACF4fZ3Hl7M
"That's a terrible and funny memory," Sloan whispered to herself as her lip's corner lifted.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAmKyOI7GOwu
After that happened, Sloan described the creepy man to her father.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAfdLiMakEJu
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAj0b38lT2Ho
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAcgu9V4QZI1
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAGhNDqg8c7w
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.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAY24q8tEokn
Shae knows, that Gale never once changed her mind since she was decided and determined.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAFOkitJYhIV
That way, they will live in peace.
194Please respect copyright.PENANAONU1Zz70jJ
Sloan looked outside the window and her fingertips travelled through the window glass.
194Please respect copyright.PENANABGwzkmVoWb
There was a snow outside, falling slowly through everywhere.
