Queen Without Crown

Chapter 42 Killed Him Once More

"Aargh..!"

King Bharata growled. He threw the corpse of a bodyguard that had just been eaten by him. His blood-soaked mouth grinned widely.

The guards who surrounded him became trepidated. They had never imagined, even in their wildest dreams, that they would face a bloodthirsty monster like this.

As if it could sniff out their fear, the undead moved closer in a strange motion.

Without warning, the soldiers fled. They forget that their King is there. They succumb to the fear that rules the soul.

Now only King Satria who face the undead. The man drew his sword. He immediately attacked as the monster started to slap its nails.

"Sreet... Sreet...!"

Several times King Satria's sword snatched King Bharata's body and managed to tear his rotting flesh. The little maggots fell to the ground, making King Satria more nauseous.

"Sreet... Sreet...Jolie..!"

King Satria's sword pierced King Bharata's stomach. But the corpse casually continued to walk closer to King Satria, making his stomach pierced deeper. Even the sword was now piercing through his back.

The corpse smirked, its hands flailing towards King Satria. Seeing that, King Satria immediately drew back his sword and left a gaping hole in the belly of the corpse.

"Kauu.kaans.mmattii..!"

The living corpse charged forward, attacking King Satria with abnormal movements. His head twitched while his fingers bent stiffly. Without giving a pause, the undead continued to urge his opponent.

"Sreet.. Sreet..!"

The sword of King Satria is becoming more and more useless. His body became exhausted after serving the creature for hours.

His fingers were stiff and his breathing was wheezing. Sweat on his body. At some point, he was no longer strong.

"Yin..!" His sword slipped out of his grasp and fell to the ground.

"Bugh!"

With one powerful move, the creature hit his body. King Satria fell and fell to the ground. He didn't even have the strength to get up. Now he could only wait for the creature to pounce on him.

The living corpse jumped up, pouncing on its already helpless prey.

"Siiiing...Jem!"

As the corpse was still jumping in the air, suddenly an arrow stuck right in his head until it pierced through the forehead.

"Aargh...!"

The living corpse growled loudly. His hand tried to pull the arrow on his head.

"Siiiing..Sssiii.. Sssiiiing..!"

"Jerb...Jamb..Jolie..!"

The arrow stuck back in his head. Then followed the neck and back of the corpse. The movement of the undead suddenly stopped and immediately fell down in front of King Satria. There was a very pungent liquid coming out of the hole in his head.

Behind the creature, King Satria could see his pregnant old wife standing up while pulling her bow. Get ready to roll back the arrows.

For some reason, this reminded him of something. It was as if he had experienced something like this before. But the man forgot. When, where and with whom?

"You okay?"

His wife's question broke his daydream. He welcomed the woman's hand. She did not expect to be saved by a pregnant woman.

The dead body of King Bharata remained motionless. A foul aroma grew sharper from his body. King Bharata was again killed.

On the eastern horizon, the sky began to reddish. The dawn has gone. The guards who fled returned. They were ashamed to act cowardly. Especially seeing the Queen who was pregnant until she intervened to destroy the undead.

"Burn the body immediately!" Queen's Order.

The bodyguards immediately dragged the rotting corpse and raised it to the cart. They took him out of the palace and set him on fire. They waited for him until the corpse was completely reduced to ashes.

*****

Jadukari Daalal Nath kicked down the table in front of him. He was furious that the corpse of King Bharata, which he had raised, had been defeated.

He has already put all his magic skills into action. The body should not be defeated by anyone. Because only people who have noble blood from Dewanata Kingdom, can kill him.

Now he is alone. He's lost everything. Even his magic power had disappeared because he had given up all to raise King Bharata. But his efforts turned out to be in vain.

The soldiers from Dewanata Kingdom had left entirely. They were terrified when they saw the body of the King rise again.

Then he took the remaining horses. He quickly got on and left the place. He promised to come back again and make calculations with the Elfian palace dwellers.

*****

King Satria had just finished being treated by the palace healers. Some of the torn parts of his body had to be sewn and bandaged. The doctor also gave some pills to restore his health.

Queen Gita sat not far from there, just observing. After the physician left, Queen Gita approached her husband.

"How are you doing?" The woman clasped her husband's hand while looking at him with a sad look.

"I'm doing fine. Thank you for helping me." King Satria kissed his wife's hand.

"Most importantly the corpse had already become ashes. So he couldn't possibly come here again." Say again.

Queen Gita nodded. Last night she saw for herself how the undead were beating her husband. Seeing her husband's life threatened, the woman desperately attacked the bloodthirsty monster with her arrow.

"Ehmm, I didn't see Eldrige?" With some hesitation, Queen Gita asked that question.

"Why are you asking him? You miss that fairy, don't you?" The man's face began to look irritated.

"No, I'm just worried!"

"What you should worry about is me. Not him."

"Why do you always get angry when I talk about Eldrige?"

"Yes, because I'm your husband! I've told you many times, you can't think of any man other than me!" King Satria was upset because he had often warned his wife.

"Don't be angry, I'm just surprised. Why didn't he help you last night." Persuade Queen Gita that her husband not be angry.

"The girl is possessed. She is now taken to the Kingdom of Lucshire to be treated by the Queen of Malea."

"Corruption?" Queen Gita was shocked.

"Yes. That's all the shaman's work from Dewanata Kingdom. I am also sure that he also resurrected the dead King Bharata."

"That shaman is very dangerous. Why don't you just arrest him?"

"It's not that easy. The shaman is very powerful and dangerous. Even Eldrige can lose. Do you think my bodyguard can catch him?" King Satria asked while looking at his wife.

"Totally so." Said Queen Gita after thinking for a moment.

"Already, the important thing is that the Elfian Kingdom is safe again. The shaman's problem we'll think about again."

"Yes, the important thing is that you survive and recover soon."

"In order to recover quickly, I want you to take care of me!" King Satria put Queen Gita's palm on her cheek.

The woman smiled and stroked her husband's face.

"I'll take care of you, baby!"

*****

Faye untied Eldrige's hands and feet. The elf looked very exhausted. He's been possessed for two days. And all that time he kept thrashing and raging.

I don't know why he suddenly realized today. Queen Malea has not been able to cure her.

"The shaman has lost his power." Said Queen Malea.

"But how can it?"

"Some have defeated him!" Answer Queen Malea.

"Who is that guy,?"

"Someone who has royal blood from the Kingdom of Dewanata."

Eldrige nodded. He felt ashamed that he could be affected by that shaman magic spell. Now he will return and carry out his duties as a Guardian in the Elfian Kingdom.
