Akane could see the Princess dash in front of the ox, but could barely stop the blade just short of the Princess. She stepped back wobbling a bit to make sure she wasn't going to skewer the Princess. "What's a princess doing in my way?" It was her way of asking 'why did she stop her?'. After Kouko's strike it was obvious why. The princess seemed to want to free the spirit, but Akane personally didn't care about keeping it alive. When the ice shards began firing everywhere at random Akane started to drunkenly evade and even deflect some hits by spinning her Naginata around. Her senses were impaired, but dumb luck and inhuman reflexes saved her.
"This isn't 'hiccup' the place for a princess! Get away from it!" The ice shards weren't really directed at one specific point. Right now was their best chance to get out of the way as it came back to its senses. Even drunk she gritted her teeth nervous about what might happen to Mizuki.
