Chapter 43 - Chapter 41: Who Are You?

~ Third Person's Point of View ~

Cartlon sought upon standing firmly in spite of the pain on his vertebra. "Wait for my revenge!" He exclaimed and was keenly aware of the risk and danger.

He quickly runs towards the princess and swipes his sword relentlessly. 

Alice found it difficult to block his attacks because he's too strong. Cartlon was pushing her until she falls into the ground.

Thus, her sword was still staving off. "Yah!" She exclaimed.

"Do not underestimate any woman, especially me! I can do whatever you can do. I can kill you as much as you can kill me, Cartlon!"

Alice stared at him and she put her all strength into her arms. She pushed back and striving to stand and twirl his neck.

Neat and quick, Alice cornered Cartlon. His sword was dropped into the ground when he gave the princess an opportunity to attack him.

The Phoenix sword was pointing into his susceptible neck. Cartlon was kneeling down while thinking of how to reverse the situation.

Alice burst into a sarcastic laugh and said, "One more time, and you shall be the loser among the two of us, Cartlon. Now, what will you do?"

The swordsman was breathing deeply. It was indeed a tiring and exhausting fight with Alice; with the woman, he is trying to win.

He said in a calm and stillness tone, "If my plan is killing you, then I must have done it while your sleeping. Forgive me your majesty but I can't let my guard down."

With no trace of fear and hatred, Cartlon elbowed the sword that was pointing his neck. He then rolled out into the ground and quickly reach his sword.

He smiled widely and said, "Now, it is certainly fair."

Cartlon grinned upon cornering Alice. He turned around with her and hit her hands. And then, the sword fell into the ground and she was encircled and enclosed into his arms.

Billy saw it and automatically, he covered his eyes with his hands. "Ooh! My innocent eyes!" He exclaimed.

Cartlon grinned upon seeing the epic expression of the princess. Her eyes widened and he leaves Alice dumbfounded. He slowly moves his face closer to her and said, "Billy can see us, your majesty. But, what does it feels being in my arms?"

He pulled her closer but Alice gave him an abrupt laugh and replied, "Do not take this scene romantically. And, I feel nothing but a plain old technique."

Cartlon grasps her tightly, however, Alice was too clever and smart. She moved his left foot and step into his.

Cartlon directly set her free. For the next blow, Alice punches his face until he tastes his own blood. "Woah! I've never tasted my blood since the last time I fought with the buccaneers."

Alice replied, "I am pleased to hear it, Cartlon! But don't assume that I will spare your existence with your story."

Alice pointed the sword into the strait. She pressed it with no reticence and uncertainty. "You failed, Cartlon."

Cartlon closed his eyes when he feels that his neck got a slice. Alice is undeniably eager to kill him.

On the other side, Billy was glad when he saw that Alice is leading the combat. However, Cartlon runs towards the princess without any utterances.

Unexpectedly, both of them losses their balance and they fall into the ground, surprised and amazed.

Billy said in an embarrassing way, "Ooh! That's an uncommon circumstance!"

The young boy exclaimed as he witnesses the gauche position of Alice and Cartlon.

Out of nowhere, Sahara showed up and was about to ask for help from Billy. She was dumbfounded and stunned when the princess is on the bottom while Cartlon was on her top.

Both of them were looking at each other and holding their breath. Alice, who's underneath him couldn't utter any single word.

She was horrified and affright when she saw Cartlon lying on top of her. "Cartlon," Alice uttered.

The princess looked around and her eyes halted at Billy and Sahara who are both surprised.

Cartlon said, "You are doomed, Alice. You failed to defeat me."

The princess was trying to escape but Cartlon grasps her wrist while laughing at her.

"Then who is the conqueror, Sahara?" Billy faced the young lady who's currently watching Alice and Cartlon.

Sahara smiled sweetly and replied, "I know swordsman is keeping something for ages now. He looks so afraid and fearful every time he gapes into the princess."

Her words seem real and tangible. Perhaps, she's good at predicting and or reading someone's mind and emotion.

The sun was still sparkling which gives more tension for all of them.  While zombies are sauntering around the forest comprising the infected Prince, Alice was lying on the bottom– furious and disgruntled. 

Cartlon was still gripping the Princess's wrist as she tried to reach her sword found at her right corner. "Do not move! Or I will keep you startle with a k–" 

The princess was too pertinacious; too sober to feel threatened. Without her approval, he moved his head closer and kisses her soft, crimson lips.

Alice couldn't move, and she can't even push him away from her; from her top.

Cartlon began to close his eyes as he waited for her to respond.

Billy, Sahara, forgot to cover their eyes because of the unexpected happenings. Because of what the swordsman did to their majesty.

Sahara turned her back and tried to covered Billy's eyes. Hence, the young man was too irresistible and compelled to obey her. "Cover your eyes, Billy! I swear to tell it to Princess Alice as soon as they finish kissing!"

A sudden warm breeze made the leaves flings away into the princess's hideaway. One of the leaves falls from the tree until it was landed into Alice's hand.

In perfect timing, she catches the leaf from the tree while traveling into a far, far place. Remembering who's the man kissing her at the moment.

In a gentle way, Cartlon losses up his grip into her wrist as Alice began to respond.

Cartlon mumbled her name between the kiss, "Alice." He then began to move his head in a genuine manner, making it accurate and precise.

The princess was lost in reality when she responded to his kisses. She can't either understand why she did such a thing that is against her will.

"I've told you not to watch them, Billy!" Sahara hit his shoulder when Billy is still glancing at them. She added, "Close your eyes if you want me to give you more potatoes!"

Billy look at her and said, "There's nothing sweeter than a kiss, Sahara. In time, you will understand what I meant. But for now, we need to go back and give them time." 

Sahara was left dumbfounded and clueless. As minor and innocent, she can't still comprehend what he is trying to say.

"Do not grab my hands, Billy! I am literate on how to walk!" She exclaimed yet, Billy was grinning widely.

"Who are you?" Alice asked him with her eyes closed.

Cartlon came back to his sanity when he feels a sudden pain on his right cheek. Alice pushed him back and leave him without uttering a word.
