As the Guards Fled in Terror, the Human Protected the Alien Princess with His Life

#audiobook #scifistories #alienwoman Cole Reeves is a former soldier turned security consultant, working a routine assignment advising the Azurian Royal Palace when insurgents launch a coordinated assault using sonic weapons that paralyze the aquatic-adjacent species. Princess Naia's elite guard detail—six warriors sworn to protect her with their lives—realizes they're defenseless against the weapon and makes a choice that shocks everyone: they flee in pure terror, abandoning their princess to certain death. Cole, a limping human consultant with no oath binding him and every reason to evacuate, appears in Naia's doorway and makes a different choice: he stays. With his bad leg screaming protest and only a standard-issue sidearm, Cole barricades the door and holds off military-trained insurgents for fifteen impossible minutes. He takes wounds that nearly kill him, refuses to run when Naia begs him to save himself, and proves that true courage isn't about ceremony or sacred oaths—it's about standing your ground when everything tells you to flee. When human reinforcements finally arrive, Cole collapses from his injuries, waking days later to find Naia has refused to leave his bedside and is demanding he be appointed her permanent guard. This scifi stories and HFY audiobook explores how one human's refusal to abandon someone in need can shame an entire warrior culture, reform broken traditions, and forge a bond between protector and princess that transcends species and ceremony. All stories on this channel are original and unique, created on my computer, and copyrights belong to me. What did you think of Cole's impossible choice to stay when even elite guards fled in terror? Did you connect more with his stubborn refusal to abandon Naia despite his injuries and certain death, or with Naia's devastation at watching her sworn protectors run while a human stranger stayed? How did you feel during that brutal fight when Cole took wound after wound but kept firing with his last ammunition? And Naia's public challenge to her father—choosing action over empty oaths, the guard who stayed over warriors who ran—did that moment resonate with you? What about the court-martial where the fleeing guards tried to justify abandonment with tactical reasoning, only to have Naia destroy their defense by describing Cole's choice? If you were Cole, could you have stayed knowing you'd probably die and your job didn't require it? If you were Naia, how would you feel watching someone with no obligation fight to the death for you while your sworn protectors fled?
