"Miss, are you really going to live at the palace starting next week?!"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAIfJCoLnhxp
Sloan raised her brows. "Now, now, you've all heard it from father, don't you?"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAk5rWJIUJVy
The younger knights bowed their heads. Sloan chuckled.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA70SLA7ZtqB
"Is there anyone going to stop me?"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAAgFvFH0zdu
All the young trained knights at the training grounds stood straight, determined. Sloan almost choked in her saliva.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA7kdNcMTVtH
"If you're going to stop me, you all should stop the prince first."
155Please respect copyright.PENANAgIFKOSQpGG
They all seemed to lose hope when they heard her say that. Sloan smiled.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAEq7WwYT53X
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAow3uQad4nT
"Miss, if you live at the palace and become a queen someday, would you go visit us still?"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAzeOXfYz3vn
Sloan blinked. She looked down, and smiled. "Of course, why I wouldn't?"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAM9EjpPMEk0
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!"
155Please respect copyright.PENANABJlmetw1gu
"How kind, Rovan,"
155Please respect copyright.PENANACafBZTjzv5
The strong wind swayed her hair as she blankly smiled.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAFVAywpoIYO
"I'm going to be a wife now, aren't I?"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAAmhG1lVlEB
"Miss, you can back out!"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAYyUho3epSa
Sloan snorted. As if she can.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAuVMLP7MImk
"I wish," She whispered and turned around. "Go train now, I apologized for interrupting you all,"
155Please respect copyright.PENANA8D62kGZrU1
"NOT AT ALL!" They shouted.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA5W2kOFdx2t
Sloan grinned while shaking her head, heading her way to the drawing room where her father was.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAWR5bgY30yu
"Sir," Sloan called.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAEuCZ3LzwgX
Shae almost slammed the table. "Sloan, I told you to call me Father. Do I look like a visitor to you everytime?"
155Please respect copyright.PENANArxH2gWdyRD
Sloan looked down and chuckled. "I apologized, Father,"
155Please respect copyright.PENANA3oCFGEPsdU
Shae clicked his tongue and signed her to sit. "What makes you head your way here? Any problems going on?"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAbi9fhwgiTn
"I need a carriage, I need to go somewhere."
155Please respect copyright.PENANAQ147urH7ys
"...Again?"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAU9krE7bCqE
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..."
155Please respect copyright.PENANAnAVYPnKjru
Shae nodded. "Bring a knight with you,"
155Please respect copyright.PENANA256MEPxOPF
"I can, myself,"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAimt4qMXC6h
Shae raised his brows. "No, Sloan,"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAW6e9rBFByv
"Yes, Father."
155Please respect copyright.PENANABZB7URPpb9
Shae sighed. "...I don't know anymore, daughter. Just go."
155Please respect copyright.PENANAZmOjepK0hZ
Sloan smirked. She bowed to him and left the drawing room. Shae could only suffer in silent torment.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAmqnQ5sAuaZ
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAjlqRgiPjEH
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAFng2EFo795
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANATjPml6QHeF
Sloan too, she felt attached too her ever since as she can remember. She can even pass as her mother in other life.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAo9AVEgO9iZ
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAV023MfdtkL
Is it a bear? A monster?
155Please respect copyright.PENANAfSkl4Y2HER
As she thought of that, her heartbeat goes rapid, like it's going to burst out of her any time.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA9k6U1R6eS3
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAbZpmxabkL9
Sloan gulped, terrified.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA7PJYt9auP4
"COME OUT!" She shouted, her knees was shaking.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA9kFAt0YXu3
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAND0O5WEesv
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!
155Please respect copyright.PENANAxaPwncAIGI
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!
155Please respect copyright.PENANAMfxL4zh4s9
She can fight, Sloan can fight. But she can't win! She won't win! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! SHE'S GOING TO DIE!
155Please respect copyright.PENANAGseWvCnfcB
JUST WHO IS THIS PERSON?!
155Please respect copyright.PENANAcnY8RKmnWT
"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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAKU7Jl89WoE
"Captain? Why can't you just say 'father?' Aren't you the child of that bastard prodigy that destroyed my life?"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAbOH8Hx4i8m
Destroyed his life? What????
155Please respect copyright.PENANAyshwdIANYT
"What are you---! My father...he's not someone who ever wanted to destroy someone else's life!"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAfH47phf90C
"Oho! That's right, he doesn't know!"
155Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZkgCQqJb0
What???
155Please respect copyright.PENANAOxEug433aR
"He doesn't know what?! Just what do you mean?! Are you fucked in the head, old man?!"
155Please respect copyright.PENANA0Cb8iSaXE9
He smiled again, creepily. Sloan wanted to run, but her feet stayed, she felt so terrified. She tried not to stutter.
155Please respect copyright.PENANALqOT7rWfrx
"Old man, you say, I'm almost the same age as your father."
155Please respect copyright.PENANAUK76c9MVd0
Really??? What the hell??? He looks like my grandfather!
155Please respect copyright.PENANAbCJMVSqnQG
Sloan gulped. This is crazy. She's gonna die. Run!
155Please respect copyright.PENANAiMToQudYcI
She tried to move her feet. But the man warned her.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAvDy1fGjWAJ
"One move, I'll cut your head off, young lady."
155Please respect copyright.PENANAKwfIaSfaqk
Sloan's pupils dilated. She almost fell her sword.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA1L0GsiUgQa
"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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAJbfBYTTfmQ
Foolish? Stupid? Low life bastards? He know my mother? He called her stupid...for having me? What's my fault?
155Please respect copyright.PENANAMV8zQ52hB6
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAVQEuUbHu0S
Sloan attacked, it was fast, the creepy man's instincts happened too slow, he didn't realized until his chest was deeply stabbed.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAqH4epLCQqi
His face twisted. "You little---"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAgRpEx8Czy0
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAJSjTtCyOoq
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAFVq82R1usr
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANASS0pqd5CGM
I'm alive. How?
155Please respect copyright.PENANA0PxF2FuWjH
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAvZtvNWXP3Y
She don't want this.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAmiFX9o3F25
This is so painful.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAVfdxr1DIo4
The wounds. Her body can't move. She can't breathe like a normal person could.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAEOFuCuXH2T
She want to die.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAJigfGEHDPs
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!
155Please respect copyright.PENANAgcXF1oztPs
She tried again, but it failed. Her tears began to fall.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA6WTFN4SyGV
"MOTHER!!!" She screamed, crying. "FATHER!!!" She coughed.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAKx8mThHCzc
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAoHFfaRvjzU
"MOTHER! FATHER! WHY CAN'T I---" She screamed again, crying.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA2tauBVOM3B
Gale, her mother, rushed to her with eyes suffered for crying the whole week.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAkHLyrkAbCt
When Gale hugged her tightly, Sloan thought of wanting to do it too. But she can't do something. So she cried even more.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAFD43DPWBSz
"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...!!!"
155Please respect copyright.PENANArEexGCzlar
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,"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAF41JjAxyft
All Sloan could do was cry.
155Please respect copyright.PENANApG93oWOVb5
Shae clenched his fist and told the knight to call the physician at the first floor and told him that Sloan was awake.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAb9ygWODtwi
Gale, still crying, turned her head to Shae, who was walking at a fast pace towards them.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAUGLkD20DMw
"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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAwdvDjQsV87
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAbC80aeuFMq
They could only know after their child was not in this condition anymore.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAwp44UnflPw
Sloan was asleep for a month. She never woke up until then.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA9yzRfI7APf
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAqcw5uRQjzf
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAPAcfvuXthw
Gale was the most patient for Sloan to get better. She never left Sloan the whole days for four months.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAqhSrsaC01s
"Sloan, would you mind if we go outside? Do you want to see flowers?"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAG6guqkS54J
Sloan silently shake her head. She pointed the floor, signing 'only here'.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAJawb5zVXC3
Gale could only suffer in silent torment.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAcHwQDODbMS
Shae too.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAnKplgkfYTZ
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAc3xJs3hY7k
"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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAbxsH9V5RwY
Sloan shakes her head, pointing the floor. 'Just only here.'
155Please respect copyright.PENANAdwiZk0qpLb
They couldn't do anything in those months but to stay by her side.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA5H1oUeGxMn
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA87NAhfHNJZ
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANABwDYikVUxO
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANARj2t6YMUyS
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANApQeolBbkEe
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAIlDD2SWcAv
The first person who was awakened was Gale, who rushed to the kitchen, and saw Sloan.
155Please respect copyright.PENANArEpml4M5wk
"Sloan...what are you...???"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAOH1DlupN4g
"...Mother?"
155Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ef2CkEQ0I
Gale was astonished, having to hear her talk again.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA0YSXjKt23a
"What...Sloan? Baby? You can..."
155Please respect copyright.PENANAew4BkUJyKT
"Mother..." She repeated.
155Please respect copyright.PENANACu6QPgh0S3
Gale's heart almost burst out of happiness and relief and rushed to get her a jar of biscuits.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAetuane15Fm
"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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAIXII1h2M3p
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAXW0S4bjyq4
Shae cried too.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAZW1asriIk4
The entire house was rejoiced once again.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAe84eULGDYb
"That's a terrible and funny memory," Sloan whispered to herself as her lip's corner lifted.
155Please respect copyright.PENANArT5E8Lu5Fp
After that happened, Sloan described the creepy man to her father.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAWstoGNL4hI
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAmOEVqjdE1W
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAbl29erQtIv
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANASjBVMWUGbg
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.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAPYbm53tblD
Shae knows, that Gale never once changed her mind since she was decided and determined.
155Please respect copyright.PENANArxUqI4s0gD
That way, they will live in peace.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA9Pyhz4HJdp
Sloan looked outside the window and her fingertips travelled through the window glass.
155Please respect copyright.PENANA2CY7SGC9vN
There was a snow outside, falling slowly through everywhere.
