Phantasia: The Princess Knight

King Augustus smiled seeing Alicia's determination. He knew this daughter of his was very protective of her homeland. "Alicia about becoming a knight..."

"I will only be worthy of becoming a knight once I know more about this world. If it wasn't for Grandpa Mu I wouldn't even have known about the hidden masters of this world. Once I finish my journey which will take two years' time. Only then will I accept becoming a knight. Being a knight is not just about being strong, it is about knowledge as well. I lack a lot of knowledge about Phantasia. I can read numerous books and study all day, but it will never give me the knowledge I can get by actually experiencing the world itself. I have seen many worlds, and I have been through a lot during the, to me, seven years of time while on the cultivation world. I have learned that first hand experience is much better than just reading about it. I understand now why Grandpa Mu wanted me to travel." Alicia took becoming a knight very seriously. It was her dream but if she felt that she was not ready for this dream to come true she would wait and better herself first. 

Letting out a sigh. King Augustus knew that Alicia would not change her mind. "Alright, I won't say any more. When do you plan to set out?" 

"A month from now. I want to spend time with my family for the next month and check on things around Phantasia first. I plan to create a barrier that will only let citizens of Phantasia in and out of it. I will pass you a handful of tokens to give to our allies who we trade with. When I return from my journey, I will want to talk to the dwarves and beastmen about coming beneath our flag. Otherwise, we will not be sending any aid to them if things with the devils get out of hand. Speaking of that…." Alicia suddenly disappeared only to reappear high in the sky. She sent out a wave of detection magic pinpointing all demon spawn within the lands of Alastine. She waved her hand and these demon spawns instantly vanished leaving no trace of their existence. After that she casted detection magic one more time, Alicia waved her hand once again and all lands under the Alistine flag were now wrapped in a barrier that went deep underground almost to the planet's core.

Reappearing inside the room Alicia dusted off her hands and smiled at King Augustus. "All demon spawn are now gone from Alastine lands and a barrier was put up. I did not detect any devils. Although there are a great deal of demons on Alastine lands. But I wish to talk with them instead of eradicating them."

"This sounds good. This was also the reason why I did not fight with them too much and only handled them on a case by case basis. But to think you did all that so quickly… My daughter is truly more powerful than I am now." King Augustus sighed, he had to rely on his little girl to protect his own kingdom. He felt embarrassed and ashamed. 

"Royal Father… No... Dad, I want to try restoring your strength. Will you let me try?" Alicia blushed when she said the word dad to King Augustus. She did not know why she felt embarrassed to say these words to King Augustus. He was her father of this world and she loved him dearly. But any time she called out the word dad to him she would feel a little embarrassed. She had only called him this way a few times, normally she would call out Royal Father but in times when it was not formal, she felt that calling him dad was a better choice. 

King Augustus was all smiles after being called Dad. He loved it when his little girl called him this. He loved it so much that he would have agreed to anything Alicia asked of him. "You can try but, It might be a lost cause, I drained all my magic points..." 

"It's fine. I will try to renourish them and give you a new way of becoming stronger. Also… Dad, who exactly are you? Your body is that of a celestial but your soul is something different."Alicia asked quietly. She made sure to not let the others hear her.

Alicia was surprised when she took King Augustus's wrist and found that his body was that of a celestial. Not only that but she could feel the soul within the body was much much stronger than what was originally supposed to be in this body. contemporary romance

"This... " King Augustus was a bit apprehensive about going into detail. But when he looked into the eyes of his little girl he knew he couldn't keep it a secret forever. He looked at the others in the room, before waving his hand. "I need you all to leave so I can speak to Alicia in private…" Thinking for a moment he added: "Actually, Blake, you stay as well."

Loeri looked at King Augustus and nodded her head. She grabbed Frey and left the room with the rest. Once everyone was gone, Alicia and Blake sat on a large couch while King Augustus sat across from them. Clearing his throat King Augustus tried to figure out the best way to explain things. "This will be a long story..."
