~ Third Person's Point of View ~
Danaya drank too much but she managed to stay firm and conscious. She's been drinking different kinds of it that made her used to the aroma and taste of alcohol.
She said, "Did you expect that the old man would come into the palace that night and tell King Sullivan what will happen into the future?"
Belor touched gently his nape and said, "No. But because of Sulliman's dream, we are able to chase the old man. Without the sign, it would be harder for us to know about the book of prophecy. Princess Danaya, I was there when the old man speaks about the prophecy. He said to the young Sulliman, 'Tell your father that your wife shall bear with a woman as a first child. When you failed, no one cannot find it and no one cannot defeat the dragon who's guarding the mountain."
The princess was seating back and listening carefully to Belor while he narrates what happened 70 years ago.
He added, "By then, Sulliman asked him, 'But, what if my first child is a man?' Then he replied, 'It would be the end of the world Sulliman. If you want to save you soon– to– be people, follow my words or the undead will reign as the Kings and Queens of Alicesha. But because Sulliman was still young he asked the old man with a very fantastic and incredible question. He said, 'My first child is the key old man, but you have said that there's another person?'"
"The old man gasped and chuckles, he replied, 'As your first child was born, there will be a woman who will give birth to a baby boy. You must find the baby when they grow up, Sulliman. You can determine that he is tone of the key when you slash your sword into his body, the wound itself will be healed and mended. The boy will possess rare bluish blood. However–"
"WHAT DOES IT MEAN BELOR?! Does Prince Zeln really possess that kind of power and blood?!" Danaya interrupted out of nowhere.
Anyone who can be heard about the extraordinary ability of the boy will be dumbfounded and amazed.
How can be a wound can be healed if there's no treatment? How can it be so possible?
Princess Danaya has a lot of questions in mind. However, the old man replied, "Your majesty, please do relax and stay steady. I am just starting to tell you the truth."
For the nth time, Danaya swallowed the remaining alcohol and looked at Belor's eyes intently.
The old man continued, "I've seen the epic expression of Sulliman after hearing those impossible words. Sulliman asked for the nth time, 'Old man, how can my daughter find him if she didn't know where he is living at?' The old man again burst into a laugh and said, 'Everything that will happen is already planned, Sulliman. The faith itself will makes its own way to cross their path in different and an unexpected place and time.' Sulliman shook his head and looked at me."
Belor looked at Danaya's eyes and continued, "I was embracing myself when Sulliman called me out. He said, 'Belor! Please get a cup of hot tea for the old man!' His voice echoed around the palace but the old man refuses to take the offer of him. The old man said, 'Belor? What a beautiful name!'"
The old man touched his long and white beards as he remembered that night. He thought of how the old man speak up with him that changes his entire life.
Belor recalled what the old did. It was out of the blue when the old man walked towards him. Belor thought that he will do something but the old man whispered into his ears, 'Belor, you shall live until the end of the apocalypse. You shall guide the two individuals who are the keys to cease the prophecy. Be prepared, enemies will chase and follow you. Be meticulous and observant Belor. There will be an undefeated and cruel Princess and Queen who will make all of you suffer. Keep it with you, Belor. Do not let anyone touch it nor owns it because it will be your guide to locate the half of Sulliman's daughter."
Belor forgot that the princess was waiting for more.
He came back to his senses when Danaya exclaimed, "What are you thinking of, old man? Hurry up!"
The old man bowed his head to ask for an apology.
He then said, "I thought he will tell me something important but the old man looked again to Sulliman. For the last time, the old man said, 'Do not forget what I have told you, Sulliman. I shall go home, the way to my home is too dangerous and dark.' Sull–"
Belor was about to continue when Danaya intruded. She asked, "Did the old man said on how to treat an infected person?"
"Yes. But you can not believe what the old said, your majesty." Belor said.
Danaya said, "Go ahead! Tomorrow morning, you will see your grandchildren again."
Upon hearing it, Belor became too excited to embrace them.
Without hesitation, he proceeded.
"The old man turned his back on us and began to walk away from us. But Sulliman said, 'What will my daughter is going to do when the moment she saw the boy, he was bitten by the undead and was infected?' The old man did not turn his back to us."
"Instead he replied in a calm voice,'The man shall drink your daughter's blood. She must slice her right palm and let him drink her royal blood. Do not worry, he will not going to eat or bite your daughter Sulliman. It was all in the book of prophecy, go ahead and wait for your father. I shall need to go by now. May our paths cross again, Sulliman and Belor."
The truth is, Belor did not tell everything to Danaya.
Belor knows that if he will open up about the gold necklace embroidered with a royal blue and an amethyst stone, Danaya will confiscate it.
The princess said, "You mean that the keys to find and get the Book of Prophecy are Prince Zeln and Sulliman's daughter?"
Belor slightly shook his head and said, "No."
Danaya stood up and exclaimed, "What do you mean old man? Are you confusing me or are you lying to me?!"
"The truth is, King Sulliman failed to have a first daughter. Because Queen Marie killed her own son upon knowing about the prophecy. She killed her first son without anyone knowing until she gave birth to Princess Alice, the next Queen."
The princess was taken aback upon hearing the revelations. She asked, "Do you mean that there's no way to end this apocalypse?!"
Belor replied, "Yes, your majesty."
At the back of the old man's mind, he was laughing so loud. How can be a courageous princess can be this naive and ignorant not to sense that he was lying.
Belor murmured, "She must be the princess that the old man's pertaining to, seven decades ago."
