"Miss, are you really going to live at the palace starting next week?!"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1E6Lw7XPU
Sloan raised her brows. "Now, now, you've all heard it from father, don't you?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboFdx4sQ4c
The younger knights bowed their heads. Sloan chuckled.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2OrVrsiKD
"Is there anyone going to stop me?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuAdPfnpdZ
All the young trained knights at the training grounds stood straight, determined. Sloan almost choked in her saliva.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3m4PNWUgn
"If you're going to stop me, you all should stop the prince first."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uKYxLVdCu
They all seemed to lose hope when they heard her say that. Sloan smiled.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy2bqEADeb
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKS1fINtv6
"Miss, if you live at the palace and become a queen someday, would you go visit us still?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5jQkijSSu
Sloan blinked. She looked down, and smiled. "Of course, why I wouldn't?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83oDxnnT9b
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!"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u1HNgi65N
"How kind, Rovan,"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv8E38RyeD
The strong wind swayed her hair as she blankly smiled.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW603aNZ99
"I'm going to be a wife now, aren't I?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9wN5hwreq
"Miss, you can back out!"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAVVvrLtz3
Sloan snorted. As if she can.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgJtbgKQf1
"I wish," She whispered and turned around. "Go train now, I apologized for interrupting you all,"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqoDQcEwv6
"NOT AT ALL!" They shouted.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqHsy8zOP3
Sloan grinned while shaking her head, heading her way to the drawing room where her father was.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkLUVy3XJO
"Sir," Sloan called.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeRxQVd9Fd
Shae almost slammed the table. "Sloan, I told you to call me Father. Do I look like a visitor to you everytime?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUfxNnaOqg
Sloan looked down and chuckled. "I apologized, Father,"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ3AOKBm72
Shae clicked his tongue and signed her to sit. "What makes you head your way here? Any problems going on?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmcgo6t9WI
"I need a carriage, I need to go somewhere."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei5dfFU1ws
"...Again?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XF4GZryRw
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..."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvrOUoh3KX
Shae nodded. "Bring a knight with you,"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiRQUa7JG3
"I can, myself,"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdM8eYqn2c
Shae raised his brows. "No, Sloan,"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4vxgWqFT8
"Yes, Father."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhk4Jbgugz
Shae sighed. "...I don't know anymore, daughter. Just go."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DaAJermd9
Sloan smirked. She bowed to him and left the drawing room. Shae could only suffer in silent torment.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC1eWTNPqh
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsI1hch6IA
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OO9J1J9Y6
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVppUniHfu
Sloan too, she felt attached too her ever since as she can remember. She can even pass as her mother in other life.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aTxHeGHUz
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDF9ZNvNAo
Is it a bear? A monster?
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jZIuMFndB
As she thought of that, her heartbeat goes rapid, like it's going to burst out of her any time.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoMyojdhuS
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9hFQbrzhW
Sloan gulped, terrified.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVI4yUSAMo
"COME OUT!" She shouted, her knees was shaking.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfFdJnxtFI
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNh4djxcmo
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!
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh6GgnCk1a
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!
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dD2Qq5s3h
She can fight, Sloan can fight. But she can't win! She won't win! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! SHE'S GOING TO DIE!
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl8jIQOyIk
JUST WHO IS THIS PERSON?!
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpdAY0jvh3
"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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFPcb2ltj5
"Captain? Why can't you just say 'father?' Aren't you the child of that bastard prodigy that destroyed my life?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnBTT4aaAW
Destroyed his life? What????
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuy0UviqoE
"What are you---! My father...he's not someone who ever wanted to destroy someone else's life!"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBnvRPw4es
"Oho! That's right, he doesn't know!"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkPE0UD9HZ
What???
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XsP6d5tSF
"He doesn't know what?! Just what do you mean?! Are you fucked in the head, old man?!"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco5WgYVBKK
He smiled again, creepily. Sloan wanted to run, but her feet stayed, she felt so terrified. She tried not to stutter.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ9Qrwkeoe
"Old man, you say, I'm almost the same age as your father."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq6izQEcym
Really??? What the hell??? He looks like my grandfather!
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi5dxeO9Zp
Sloan gulped. This is crazy. She's gonna die. Run!
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEUYKyzj8c
She tried to move her feet. But the man warned her.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWH5syHfD3
"One move, I'll cut your head off, young lady."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygmTNRKXU0
Sloan's pupils dilated. She almost fell her sword.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG8U8RpDZH
"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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixhaXChiAt
Foolish? Stupid? Low life bastards? He know my mother? He called her stupid...for having me? What's my fault?
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaCvavOhK6
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdGTBwH08j
Sloan attacked, it was fast, the creepy man's instincts happened too slow, he didn't realized until his chest was deeply stabbed.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACDuP4ggYN
His face twisted. "You little---"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpDkNmZ2OV
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMVNUJtImK
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB6VrmJHDf
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv8W6Kgauz
I'm alive. How?
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVACDQXDCk
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9w1UJ45GV
She don't want this.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrkVvXh6Ud
This is so painful.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2Fbp8VVqi
The wounds. Her body can't move. She can't breathe like a normal person could.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuYQfh6AJk
She want to die.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3KuDQbXA5
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!
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg4hBMqtTN
She tried again, but it failed. Her tears began to fall.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavXH7rxT42
"MOTHER!!!" She screamed, crying. "FATHER!!!" She coughed.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjAZ5jJgx2
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKYqK2XkbT
"MOTHER! FATHER! WHY CAN'T I---" She screamed again, crying.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvILo4IPEpo
Gale, her mother, rushed to her with eyes suffered for crying the whole week.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZACKCEh4c
When Gale hugged her tightly, Sloan thought of wanting to do it too. But she can't do something. So she cried even more.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjSU9SlhGD
"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...!!!"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVrZgCwkVI
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,"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3aCvc0g9B
All Sloan could do was cry.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ41NCPMrZ
Shae clenched his fist and told the knight to call the physician at the first floor and told him that Sloan was awake.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFK6agCOm7
Gale, still crying, turned her head to Shae, who was walking at a fast pace towards them.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW6sc2ZgTz
"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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwC1iGuUoS
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9qpHA0R90
They could only know after their child was not in this condition anymore.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAHsdnblw4
Sloan was asleep for a month. She never woke up until then.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGRaS7M15c
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF4Uuvhbk7
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmagy5O5gt
Gale was the most patient for Sloan to get better. She never left Sloan the whole days for four months.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugxhKnTROQ
"Sloan, would you mind if we go outside? Do you want to see flowers?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm1kG5jdTz
Sloan silently shake her head. She pointed the floor, signing 'only here'.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Rfm7xtal
Gale could only suffer in silent torment.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqyIHWZimZ
Shae too.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFhByjzYu7
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOIl3srd1s
"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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNoLMk67XZ
Sloan shakes her head, pointing the floor. 'Just only here.'
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPAana2rzp
They couldn't do anything in those months but to stay by her side.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0RlAi1HqA
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsnjW8nlhV
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoHRMYinLT
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnbOIsvrSq
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nPSnvuPeu
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6loBH1L6XH
The first person who was awakened was Gale, who rushed to the kitchen, and saw Sloan.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5064xryyaf
"Sloan...what are you...???"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3xd9ybxUb
"...Mother?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7stdOmMR9
Gale was astonished, having to hear her talk again.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtyYHEFcQQ
"What...Sloan? Baby? You can..."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo3gAo2Fxn
"Mother..." She repeated.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPH5Z715vA
Gale's heart almost burst out of happiness and relief and rushed to get her a jar of biscuits.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ90NAi3YG
"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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu8C4vU7na
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpQ6xD3wiJ
Shae cried too.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc7W1DH25a
The entire house was rejoiced once again.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGAkaS4RAi
"That's a terrible and funny memory," Sloan whispered to herself as her lip's corner lifted.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3bzQWzXad
After that happened, Sloan described the creepy man to her father.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuKjenS7j6
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc2igerWQT
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg0QaY7eOc
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGarGYq8tDP
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNbAnxNbqy
Shae knows, that Gale never once changed her mind since she was decided and determined.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn2REQQWEx
That way, they will live in peace.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMHHryqgSk
Sloan looked outside the window and her fingertips travelled through the window glass.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuV7bJGgs2
There was a snow outside, falling slowly through everywhere.
