Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 97: Capture Them

A few days passed and Alicia still had not woken up. This entire time Blake continued to watch over her not daring to stray too far from her side. They had just reached the capital and were about to enter when a guard came over stopping them. "Those in the carriage need to step out for inspection." 

The current carriage they were in was bought from a town near the Barren Lands. So it did not have any markings on it whatsoever. The guard who had commanded them to get out was on the chubby side and seemed to be from some noble family. The guards around him all lowered their heads seemingly not wanting to offend this chubby guard. 

But this did not mean the people in the carriage did not mind offending him. Loeri who was inside the carriage was enraged that someone was daring to stop them from returning to the house with Alicia unconscious like this. Not even waiting for anyone else to answer She jumped out of the carriage and yelled: "Who the hell are you to stop us from entering the city. Not a single person has had to stop for an inspection before us but now you want to stop us?" 

The chubby guard's face turned red with anger. He did not stop the others because he was not able to see inside the carriage. He just happened to look over when the wind kicked up and the current of the carriage had moved revealing two beautiful girls inside. He wanted to take a look for himself and if they were indeed beautiful he would take them home. He comes from a noble family who would dare to go against his words but now, here this white haired girl with horns and tail was yelling at him? "A dirty demi dares to talk to me in such a way!? Quickly capture her! Let's see how she likes sitting in the dungeon for a few days!" 

Loeri's rage welled up, she was about to incinerate the whole lot of them when a tired sounding voice came out from within the carriage. "Loeri don't!" 

A happy smile formed on Loeri's face hearing this voice. 'Alicia! She finally woke up!' Loeri turned her head to see Alicia slowly make her way out of the carriage with Blake's assistance. Alicia looked at Loeri, smiled, and said: "I made you worry." She then looked at the guards who were standing there frozen in place not sure if they should continue to capture the demihuman or not. The chubby guard looked at Loeri then at Alicia until they finally fell onto Blake who was assisting Alicia. Flames of jealousy formed in his eyes as he looked at Blake who was gently supporting Alicia. 

"Capture them all!" The chubby guard yelled. But not a single one of them moved. All their eyes were trained on to Blake and the crest on his armor. They were all too familiar with this crest! Although the other guards recognized this crest the chubby guard failed to as he yelled out: "What are you doing? Capture them now!"

"Who do you want to capture!?" A loud booming voice sounded out. A wave of pressure fell onto the chubby guard causing him to instantly kneel to the ground. Cold sweat drenched his back. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice to see a middle aged man with many royal guards walking towards them. The chubby man shivered in fear. He quickly bowed his head to the ground. "Your Majesty!"

This middle aged man was none other than the King of Alastine, King Augustus Alastine the second! King Augustus looked over everyone there until his eyes fell on to Alicia. He frowned when he saw how pale her face was and quickly walked over to her. "What happened!?" He asked as his big hand rested onto Alicia's forehead. After checking Alicia he frowned even more and before anyone could answer his question King Augustus picked Alicia up, turned to Blake and said: "You all follow me I want to hear everything that happened!" 

Alicia was somewhat confused as to why the King of Alastine was so frantic and mad. But the feeling she got from him and the warmth she felt at this time was very familiar to her. Her body was still weak and she was still very tired. Feeling this familiar warmth caused Alicia to doze back off instantly as she curled up in King Augustus's arms. King Agustus took a few steps forward before turning to look at the chubby guard, his eyes full of anger. Only giving him a quick look King Augustus turned to his guards and said: "Arrest this man!" He then quickly made his way back to Alicia's estate.

In Alicia's room inside Alicia's estate King Augustus was sitting in a chair next to Alicia's bed watching over her. Standing quietly a few meters away was Rose, Starla, Loeri, and Blake. After making sure nothing was seriously wrong with Alicia he turned towards the four of them. "Explain to me in detail about what happened!" 

All three girls turned to look towards Blake. Blake stepped forward and before answering King Augustus, he turned towards the others and said: "What I am about to say is to never leave this room! Or like I said before I will not hesitate to take your lives." 

Hearing Blake's blatant threat caused King Augustus to be surprised. He knew of Blake's origins and he knew of Blake's personality. He was never one to give off such a threat. "Your Majesty when we discovered an ancient Subterranean city we went to look around and investigate it to see if we could find what had happened to them all those years ago. While we were in a building..." Blake continued to explain all the events that had unfolded. 

King Augustus was shocked to hear all this. He took a moment to think things over before looking at Blake and asking: "What's your take on this?"

"I think she is a descendent of the Celestial race!"
