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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqrsEg8lfc
She lost rationality just now.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBJBCBPt8C
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFJYz43ddv
It felt so peaceful, quiet, and compose.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnP0UEBQtv
Everytime she's alone, she's tend to be philosophical and think of things that will give her inner peace and less worries.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkjBkZDVUG
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LJOZ2w7kq
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVdgO9dyTS
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6S9yZyo7p
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GrCvmVTZL
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGepb9X1iey
"You! WATCH OUT! ROLL OVER THE SIDE!!! QUICK!!!"
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAuEabepVE
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YaUHM4gEK
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamlkdlRwTM
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?????
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTIUAxKbFV
"YOU! RUN! CALL THE KNIGHTS RIGHT AWAY!" Sloan shouted, out of breath.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxyXAry4xD
"Y-YES! YOUR HIGHNESS!"
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBHx6ABHVr
I'm still 'Miss', Sloan wanted to say, but the gardener ran away already.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMcRqvPmoF
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg21l2N4XyD
She slowly step back, still pointing the dagger and breathing heavily.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuMyRlxT7p
It's fine...I'm not gonna die...
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSZAbkRdA1
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pz73J0xyD
But this snake here...it shouldn't be here! Why is it here?!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctGHz2sET3
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4k2QmWtGS
Think, damn! Sloan, think! Damn! Damn! Damn!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqedn3jl0po
I take my words back, I'm gonna die today---
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMUn6nQkvS
The tree!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp37bTbrLGd
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!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwUgVhHUV1
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZQiEAbt18
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kqSq65VHh
Damn...my foot...my foot still hurts. Now my head was spinning...could she get a break?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrxttcE4rP
She's getting thirsty and restraining herself from fainting.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJz7OTK92a
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4LEA2qyOo
She stopped.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUGr1xaepz
It's dead?
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfTBbJp3tx
It's dead...But...
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nLwgvgKHv
No...something's wrong.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8O8hNHujm
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!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGcwm9FRUB
And this one lasted for only about seconds!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWsMGvalM9
Something was wrong!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkazUkplJXa
With that thoughts, she started forming conclusions in her head.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0irFinqth
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???!!!!!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWR8UgiXyL
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2hLWwHl5j
Even before stopping and getting away from the dead snake, Sage did not let go of her.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xg3tcHGXj
"Your highness! Let go! Something's wrong with the snake and I have to look at it!"
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakS6dqv5tz
"Sloan, it's dangerous!" Sage gripped her in his arms, afraid.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35xGJ9fPmQ
"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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo5aDJDDcz
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRCuZSJKfA
The knights started to surround the snake , "Don't go near! Back away! It's still dangerous!"
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFRjVLmkHs
All of them was distracted both by the snake and Sloan shouting.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMN3KlQFUg
What's wrong? What's going on? They asked themselves and become more terrified.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzUjQL88ka
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k5HOjgSmF
When the king and queen arrived there, it was all a chaos.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z4vX0rEk2
Only Sage could only think of one thing at that time.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgULAjOCIzv
Sloan.
