Chapter 51: Chapter 49: The Captive Has Escaped

~ Third Person's Point of View ~

Undead become more aggressive than before. One by one, Princess Danaya's men became wearied and knackered.

"We can't win against all of them, your majesty! Two of us are already bitten and so we don't have another choice but to kill them ahead of time! Before they can hurt us!"

He was right. Five men diminish two, and the three of them remains. To be candid, zombies will overrun and feast them if they will choose to fight with while having not enough warriors.

Danaya said, "The two of you shall fight against the undead and he will going back with me to the lair!" She was pointing the man who possesses the abilities of a great warrior. A man who can protect and save his majesty even if it takes him to death.

The two men were about to refuse when the Princess rides on the horse where the captive is. Belor was riding with Danaya and the old man remained tight-lipped with fear within him. "Hurry up! We need to escape and leave them or zombies will invade all of us!"

Right then, the princess began to order the steed to move forward. Behind her was the warrior she chooses to guard and to sentinel the way they are taking with.

They keep on striding when Princess Danaya screamed, "If you can, then I will see you again!" She breathes too deep as the thought of leaving her men alone.

Yes, she is maybe cruel and brutal as a princess. But as a human, Danaya felt hurt and was unhappy because of the decision she has made. "Father, please forgive me if I can not protect your men at the time of the cataclysm."

Without the princess knowledge, Belor heard her words. The old man said, "You have chosen the right decision, Princess Danaya. If we would stay and fought the zombies with swords and sweats, we can not still overthrow contra the undead."

Danaya sought upon hearing it from the old man. This time, she must follow what is right if the princess wants to be still alive. "You don't have to repeat it, old man! Sealed your mouth or I will throw you!" Danaya replied.

The old man gasped by the awful responsibility of the princess. He never thought that a woman like Danaya can be this too terrible and horrendous. "She's nonentity compared to Princess Alice. What a rigorous leader!" Belor murmured.

The people of Alicesha and the former king chose Alice as the meritorious queen that will rule the people under her throne. Both elders and juveniles voted for Alice as she possessed the characteristics of a good and fair leader like her father, King Sulliman.

Belor suddenly remembered Princess Alice. It's been a while since he heard information telling that Alice wasn't in the palace and her sister was missing as the apocalypse began.

Danaya heard what the old man has murmured. She then acted like she didn't hear anything. She said, "Most of you would always enunciate the name of your majesty. Old man, tell me 'bout Princess Alice."

It took for him to sink in the declarations that Danaya has mumbled. It was out of his expectations and probabilities. Belor took a deep breath as he started up to open his mouth.

He began to utter a word with confidence and enthusiasm. It was indeed a privilege to describe the princess into another princess. Belor said, "King Sulliman and Queen Marie was blessed with a healthy baby girl nineteen years ago. She was too adorable, beautiful and her future was written on her palms. She was indeed born to be a Queen of Kingdom Alicesha."

Belor grasps into the princess's cloak as they are moving fast. He continued while Danaya listened to him.

"The King named her Alice as it pertains to her personality. As she grows up, Alice learned to use swords and different kind of weapons that can protect herself from unconquerable enemies. Alice was undeniable brave and possess power– n' authority."

Danaya smiled bitterly and replied, "Sword against bow and arrows! It would be a great and historic battle with her." She seems serious and unstoppable.

Belor cleared his throat and answered back, "It would be, Princess Danaya. However, this is not the right moment for us to gauge who's the perfect and applaudable princess among the two of you."

Unfortunately, Danaya couldn't give attention to him anymore as she saw zombies sauntering around the lair. She said, "Be ready! We will have to get into the main entrance!" Danaya reminded the warrior riding with himself next to her.

She added, "Hold on tightly, Belor!"

By then, as they are running back to the hideaway. Danaya growled so loud that the Captain can hear her voice. "UNCLOSE THE PORTAL!"

It was too loud for them not to her Princess Danaya's voice.

On the other side, Captain heard a very familiar voice growling outside. He was to about to give orders when Shaotzie cried out. "Release me! Have pity on me, Captain!" She was sobbing like a lost child.

For the second time, Princess Danaya screamed that made all of them panicked and move foolishly. "UNCLOSE THE PORTAL, NOOOW!"

All of them run towards the entrance and two of them opened the portal. They are all shocked when they saw the Princess riding so fast while zombies are chasing them.

Two guards were left to look after the Princess. Shaotzie asked, "What is going on outside? Why is that Princess Danaya is shouting so horribly?"

The two guards remained silent as they have no idea of what's happening too.

"Come on, Princess Danaya!" The Captain said.

Luckily, they have reached the safest place in the hideaway. They get through the entrance successfully but all of them was still in shocked.

Princess Danaya immediately went off from the steed. She looks so furious and frantic. She said, "Why does it take too long for all of you to unclose the portal? Why did you all leave the entrance?"

Including the Captain, all of them was bowing their heads as they cannot tell the princess the bad news.

No one tried to speak up until she commanded. "Follow me before I throw all of you outside and let the zombies feast your worthless lives!"

Danaya leads the way and added, "Bring the old man inside! I need him as of now!"

Zombies are screaming and growling when they failed to invade humanity. They are still trying to enter and break the barricades but it was built too unbreakable and indestructible.

As they get inside, Danaya was startled upon seeing Princess Shaotzie who's seating into the ground. She asked, "What happened? Why is that she's alone? And where is Zachary?!"

Two guards were hesitant to answer her questions. But they cannot keep their mouth sealed when Danaya heaves her sword. She then turned around and pointed it into the Captain's neck. "Answer me or I will slash your neck, one by one!"

Abruptly, one of them confessed. He said while his own body was shaking and trembling out of fear. "They tried to elude, your majesty. And Zachary...–"

He gulped and cleared his throat before continuing. He added, "The captive has escaped from us! PLEASE FORGIVE US, YOUR MAJESTY!"

He ran towards the princess and kneeled down. He was asking for forgiveness but the only person who can decide it is no other than Danaya.

However, the princess was left dumbfounded and aghast upon hearing it from one of the worthless and feather-headed warriors.
