Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 89: The Overprotective Father

Philip stood there stunned upon hearing 'Alicia's' question. 'How can she not remember me? There is no way she could not remember me!' "Miss, we met in Parith. You even slapped me across the face for bullying a commoner!" 

The guards next to Philip both face palmed wondering why the young prince had to go and remind her of his misdeeds! 'Alicia's' brow raised as she wondered why this stupid kid would even say such a thing like that. But now that she was reminded that Philip did indeed cause a lot of trouble by harassing the citizens 'Alicia's' face turned ugly as she walked step by step towards Philip. 

As 'Alicia' moved forward Alfred appeared behind the two guards startling them. But when they turned and saw who it was their mouths dropped. Alfred put his finger to his lips to tell the two to be quiet and slowly led them away. As soon as they exited the main hall Philips mournful cries could be heard along with a smacking sound. If one were in the room at that time they would find Philip bent over 'Alicia's' knee with his pants slightly pulled down and two red buttocks shining brightly.

"Miss! I'm sorry I will never do it again! I swear!" Philip's pleas filled the room.

After a good five minute spanking, 'Alicia' finally let Philip go. The poor boy could no longer sit because his butt hurt so bad. 'Alicia' turned to him and asked: "So why did you come here to find me?" 

"Miss I came to find you be-because I can't stop thinking about you..." Although Philip was embarrassed about being spanked by the girl he could not stop thinking about, he still honestly said the truth.

Of course, 'Alicia' was in no way happy about this confession of Philip's as she stared coldly at him. 'Alicia's' body suddenly started to get taller. Philip looked on at the sight in front of him in absolute horror because the girl in front of him that he had even dreamt about now looked just like his father! "I must be dreaming..." This was the first thing that came to mind seeing such a sight in front of him.

"Philip you dare have designs on your sister!" King Alastine roared out. He could not believe his trouble making son was trying to court his dear Alicia! 

"Ro-Royal Fa-Father!!??" Philip was completely confused. 'Why is my father here!? What did he mean by sister!?' 

"You brat! I can let you do whatever you want but there are two things in this world that you are not allowed to even think about doing! One is harming and bullying the citizens of the Alastine Kingdom! And second and this is the most important you are never ever allowed to think of trying to do and that is courting, my dear Alicia! She is your third sister and my dear daughter! No one in this world is good enough for her! She will stay by my side until I die!" King Alastine roared. Not caring how his words sounded.

Philip did not know what to say! His little heart was suddenly crushed. The girl he had been dreaming about and was searching for so painstakingly was actually his sister!? "Royal Father You are saying the girl with golden blonde hair around ten years old is my sister?"

King Alastine suddenly froze. He realized his blunder. In his rage, he revealed the truth about Alicia being his daughter. Letting out a sigh he said: "Yes... Alicia is your third sister. But she doesn't know this yet. I adopted her after taking her in as my disciple. You are not allowed to say a word to her. Better yet you are not allowed to even speak to her, meet her, or even look at her!" 

Philip was stunned.  He was still having a hard time grasping the situation. But there was one thing that Philip did get out of all this. "So she is not related by blood?"

"You brat do you want another spanking!? Do not even think about it!" King Alastine once again yelled out.

Philip instinctively covered his butt. He couldn't help but grumble: "I was just asking, geeze..." 

"What was that!?" King Alastine glared at Philip.

"Nothing!" Philip said while quickly shaking his head.

"You need to take an oath right here and now that you will never reveal any of what you heard today to anyone, even Alicia herself. Since she does not know that I adopted her or the fact that I am the King of Alastine. "

Back in the cave the Alicia and her group were standing in front of the strange statue when Alicia suddenly sneezed and shivered violently. "Alicia are you okay?" 

"Huh? Yeah, I just suddenly felt a cold chill run down my spine It's nothing really." Alicia said. But in her mind, she was thinking: 'Is someone cursing me?'

Alicia looked at the statue that was some kind of humanoid figure examining it. But she could not remember seeing anything like it in any books. "Anyone know what this statue is of?"

"The Subterranean race!" Blake exclaimed.

"The Subterranean race?" Alicia asked. Everyone looked at  Blake in interest. It seemed that it was not just Alicia who had not heard of them before.

"They are a race that lived underground. They were accidentally created by the Gods race and once they were released not much else is known about them. There were very few records of them. I had only by chance stumbled across a small paragraph that mentioned them in the library at my family's house that had a drawing of them. Blake said as he went into deep thought.  "I see I see This makes sense now. Why did they not think of this back then!"
