Counting on Fernando to bring the sword from Zeral's room at Kolino city, Donatella seeks to find a way to talk with Zeral, while knowing that there a chance that he can get his freedom and help them in this war...Donatella went to her mom to tell her what she discovers

"Mom, can I enter?" Donatella knocking her mother's room door

"Yes, you can" the queen answers her, then she enters the room, lowing her head, walking towards her mother who was lying in the bed, with deep grief in her face then she stop and look at her...

Then the queen stands up and asks her with the pain in her low voice "Hi Dona, you need something?"

Donatella starts crying regretting what she said to her mother before...

"I want to apologize mom, I'm sorry I was such rude with you lately, I don't know what happened to me, all of this shit comes on same time, together, I couldn't handle it right so I've been out of my mind, I can't believe that I said such bad things to you"

The queen, directly hugs her daughter after hearing this, while saying

"It is okay sweetheart, I knew what happened to you weren't easy, and can't blame you for that, the sudden of your father affected us all and made us do few things that may regret it so I forgive you and I love you so much, my dear girl, that is why I don't want to see you fighting in this war, I don't want to lose you"

Donatella tears get cleaning by her mother soft hands while replying this

"Mommy, me too, I love you as much as I loved dad but those damned monsters took two of my beloved people, first was Marco and now my father, so I have to fight to avenge them, I want to be a part of the army in dealing with monsters, I want to taste the win as a part of it and even if we lose that is fine at least I did my best, that is why I'm training this hard to be good as others and can assure you that I won't die easily in the battle"

Her mother holds her daughter's shoulders and confusingly says

"I know you loved Marco and I'm sorry for him, but your father did die at Ado..."

Donatella interrupts her swearing to her "Nooo, it wasn't him I swear, mom, you think Zeral is responsible for my father kill? do you believe in that? you think someone with that power will do such cowardly thing, and if he was on their side why he didn't attack us yet? he had a chance to kill all of us and he didn't, he surrendered willingly"

The queen says "Yeah I understand that but still that soldier witness and the sword..."

Donatella interrupt her again "Well that, I'm not sure about why that soldier said that but I'm sure he was lying and Zeral wasn't there as he said also the sword wasn't his sword that we found, his sword is in his room at Kolino city, the commander Fernando himself put it thereafter Zeral requested it and when we come here he didn't hold a second sword also he told me when he hugged me, that was Kevin, his friend is from Batrack too so probably he got a sword like Zeral since he was his comrade at the previous wars..."

The queen shockingly asks "What? are you sure? I remember Kevin, he was his best friend and both were an amazing duo in their battles, I thought he died in the fall of Batrack...Damn it, if this true that is mean..."

Donatella interrupts her once again saying "Yeah mom, we are putting our powerful weapon outside the battle because we think he was the killer and this is probably a trap from Hirvan to get rid of him and make the war harder for us to win, so Fernando went already to Kolino to bring Zeral second sword and with that the innocence evidence of Zeral will be raveled and he needs to be free soon as possible"

After seconds of queen reconsidering what he daughter just said. Then she says

"Well hold on a sec, even if Fernando bring us the second sword, it need some time to get him on release because we have to do some quick investigation about the matter but don't worry I will make it faster and even with that there is still no guarantee that Adomas will help us again after what've we done to him, he even leave us"

Donatella says "Well, that is why I come to you, mom, I have to speak with Zeral I'm sure I can get him back in our side also I have to apologize to him too, well me either I blamed him for a crime that he didn't commit so mom please give the word to guards down there in the jail so I can pass and speak to him...

The queen says "Alright" then the queen, stands up and give a handwritten message to Donatella that give her right to go and meet Zeral at the prison...

So Donatella waste no time leaving to speak with Zeral meanwhile Fernando who is on his way with two soldiers to the city of Kolino, but when they reach the hill in road to Kolino, him and other soldiers heard weird screams coming towards them in the opposite direction, while they are on hill searching for the source of this noise, they finally saw a black mist coming to their way, a weird mist...

Seconds later, the mist they are looking to turn out to be a big wave of monsters heading to their way, then they find out it is not just one big weave, it is an entire army marching towards them screaming "KILL THEM ALL...EAT THEM ALLL..." nearly thousands and thousands of monster on their way to the capital, the three men can't believe it, how they surpassed the city of Kolino? they wondered, then Fernando orders them to fall back faster to warn the capital so they get on their horses and ride straight back to the capital in a hurry...

While Donatella finally gets in the jail and after she talked with the guardians to let her through after the approval from the queen herself, she enters Zeral's cell

"Traitor all for sudden you got a visitor and it is requested directly from the queen so I can't deny it, also this person insist on meeting you"

The Guardian says while he opening the cell then he turns to Donatella and says

"There he is, go quickly tell him what you have to say, I will wait for you here if you need something and remember he may be chained and weak but you don't know what he may do, so please princess be careful"

Donatella enter the cell saying "Don't worry and you don't have to stay here, you can go back to your post above, I will talk to him quickly"

The Guardian goes upstairs while Donatella walks in having a torch and get near Zeral who've been chained to the wall in dark, he quickly notices the light coming to his way so he stands and barely opening his eyes to see who is there...

Donatella asks Zeral as he strangely looking at her "Hey, it is me, the last person you probably think you will see right? here I am down here in this shitty place, to talk to you so can I have a word with you?"

Zeral with a smile answers "I thought you are the guard come to deliver me some food, I'm really hungry and I can't even hunt those rats behind you"

Donatella quickly turns her head staring at the cell corners "Rats you said?"

Zeral says "Don't worry, princess, they can't hurt you, you are the princess after all, the same princess who tried to fight me with knowing that with one blow I can kill you and same princess who blamed for killing her father after I took oath to him that I will protect this kingdom and especially you"

Donatella with low voice says "I'm sorry, you know, that wasn't easy for me, everyone says that you did it, I couldn't believe it but I overreacted so badly at you and in that moment when you come at me, I thought I'm about to die after I saw you getting close to me but it was just to hug me and surrender without killing any soldier expect that stupid liar one"

Zeral ask her "So now you believe in me? why? what happened?"

Donatella answers him with a smile "Yeah, I do, Fernando does too, probably my mom too, he told me about your second sword was at Kolino then I remembered that you had one sword when we reached the capital and after you told me that your friend may actually have the same sword as you so then it comes to me all clean, that no way in hell you would do that and accept yourself to be imprisoned in such disgusting place..."

Zeral says "Mhm, so Fernando will bring my sword from there and this may prove that I'm innocent. Okay I just hope he will make it in time, you know Hirvan's army on your people doors, they will start attacking your cities so soon"

Donatella asks "Wait they aren't just my people, they are yours too right? you still with us?"

Zeral take some seconds to answer "Maybe, I'm not sure, after all of this, those people will may never trust me, you see the problem is, they hate me for all suffers that I done also those soldiers fear me and don't trust me and believe if I were them I wouldn't trust someone like me so I don't know if I can fight with them anymore"

Donatella holds Zeral head and says "It doesn't matter what they think about you... Adomas, you still the legendary warrior and with your help, you will get your place once more believe me if Fernando brings back your sword I assure you that my mother will step in and release you immediately then you can go and help us in the field...You see, I need my hero to be with me in the battle so let us win it together"

Zeral with a smile says "I'm a hero? maybe I was years ago but now I'm just cursed beast searching for a reason to his life, while, you already found it. You can be the hero that you always dream to be and for that, I will make sure you will and that is a reason to me so I will you to defeat those damned monsters"

Donatella starts smiling too while saying "That's great, I'm happy that you will help me and my kingdom, but you are locked in here so we need a way to free you..."

Zeral start laughing "Locked in? hahaha" then in seconds he breaks the chains in his right arm with such power, he removes the other chain and then he says "Are you sure?"

Donatella surprisingly she says "Wow, you just removed them, damn and I thought those chains will hold you, so why you didn't unchain yourself earlier?"

Zeral stand to her and says "There are no chains in this world will hold me, yes you are right if I wanted I could unchain myself earlier and why not escape or you know what? why not kill the guards and everyone in my way or why I didn't kill them all in the first time they accusation me? I didn't want to do that because I didn't want hurt people anymore so I accepted my faith"

Donatella says "I see also I understand why you did all of that..."

Zeral grab Donatella's shoulders and look into her eyes and says

"Now all you have to do is go to rest and prepare for the war, I will be there with you don't worry whether they free me or not and trust me I would my best to protect you in your battles and I hope this time you will not do such stupid things like going on rampage on dozens of monsters, that is way much risky and you can get killed easily and I want to you to prove to me and to all of them that you are a true fighter, a warrior and a legend"

Donatella back smiling looking to him with ambitions in her eyes she says

"Of course I will don't worry this time I will do my best" then she hugs him and while she doing that, Zeral says

"Woow, you know warriors don't hug each other but you owe me one I guess"

Donatella steps back and looks to him saying "Yeah I owe you one, and now we are equal so no more hugs ok? also I don't love you, now if you excuse me, I have to go so you stay here waiting any news..."

Zeral yells "A RAT! BEHIND YOU"

Donatella quickly turns her back screaming "NOO!! STAY AWAY FROM ME" then she finds out there is no rat behind her so she turns to Zeral to say "Oh, damn you, you scared me, I hate you...I hate you"

And while she is leaving the cell he is laughing at her "Your welcome haha" so she goes back to the guards and she orders them to bring Zeral food so he can eat well before the battle...

Meanwhile Fernando on his way to the capital with the biggest warning to made, that is the war is coming shorter than they thought, thousands of monster heading their way to the capital directly so what is going to happen?

The end.
