Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Rebecca's words caused Alicia's face to turn bright red. She peeked at Blake shyly before turning to Rebecca saying: "No Rebecca he is just here to protect me from the shadows. Master Berlin sent him to watch over me."

Hearing the name Berlin, Dalton's brow twitched. He knew this name all too well. He did not know what connection Alicia had with this Berlin but he knew for a fresh knight who was just admitted to the elite order of knights right out of his squire training then Alicia was very important Berlin. Dalton looked at Blake and then at Alicia. Seeing Alicia's red face he couldn't help but take a second look at Blake. He nodded his head as he thought Blake will be a lady killer when he gets older and drops that baby fat. He made his way over to Blake and put his arm around Blake's shoulder. "Make sure you protect her well on her trip to the capital. If anything were to happen to her... You know what will happen to you."

"I know. But I was also told not to assist unless she was on the verge of dying. I only helped her once recently because the women needed help quickly." Blake explained, his face stoic.

"Bah! Such a young lad but only knows how to follow what others tell him. Although it is not a bad thing you still need to think for yourself. Otherwise, how will you find a wife in the future?" Dalton patted Blake's back heavily.

Blake just looked at Dalton blankly as he thought of how he never thought of taking a wife since he was still too young for such matters. But the more he thought about it the more he realized he would be coming of age soon. Blake unconsciously turned his gaze to Alicia. Alicia also happened to look in Blake's direction. Their eyes met for a few seconds before Alicia's face once again turned bright red as she turned her head away quickly.

Dalton saw this interaction and let out a hearty laugh. "Haha! Spring is in the air I see!" He leaned over to Blake once again and whispered: "It's best to become her personal knight as soon as possible or else when she comes of age she will have many suitors. How will you scare them all off if you are not nearby?"

Blake only shook his head as he said: "You're thinking too much..." Dalton did not know but Blake knew. Alicia was not someone who was from his world. She might have the same path in life as him but she was someone higher than him by a lot. Someone he could never dream of reaching. It was just that Alicia did not know it yet.

Rebecca who was at the side kept seeing Alicia's face turn red which incited her curiosity so Rebecca bounced over to Alicia and asked: "Alicia do you like Sir Blake?"

Alicia suddenly found herself speechless. Rebecca had asked such a private question so loudly and now she had to answer! "I-I… I umm..."

"Rebecca, how can you be so nosy!?" Dalton yelled out. But with one being reprimanded another little girl's curiosity got the better of her as well.

"Mother is that big brother my father?" Frey asked as she blinked her little expectant eyes at Alicia. Her cuteness along with the question was too much for Alicia to handle as her face was as red as an apple all the way up to her ears.

Thinking quickly Alicia replied: "Frey… Mother owes Sir Blake her life. He is also kindly watching out for us from afar until we get to the capital."

"By why do you turn red when you look at big brother?" Frey inquired yet again. Not realizing that Alicia wanted to scream and run away at this time. At heart, although she was young in this world, she was still older mentally due to living to the age of fifteen in her past life. But even if this was the case she had never had a boyfriend or had fallen in love. She had never had much contact with boys her own age in her past life so these questions were really unfair to her!

Not knowing what to say Alicia blurted out: "Your mother just finds Sir Blake very handsome..." If you looked close enough as Alicia finished her sentence a puff of smoke came out of her ears and the top of her head as her whole head became a deeper shade of red. She did not mean to say that out loud!

Seeing this was not going to end any time soon Dalton decided to give Alicia a helping hand since she had been put on the spot for so long. "Alright! Alright, let's get Alicia settled in. Rebecca go call your mother and brother and have them come to the guest house. I will have them meet Alicia before dinner."

Rebecca Smiled and shouted out: "Okay~!" Before running off towards the second floor.

"Alright, Alicia follow me to the back and brat you can come too. There is a side room that you can stay in near the guest house. This way you can stay near Alicia during her stay here in Parith." Dalton said as he waved his hand. contemporary romance

Frey who had dropped the last bomb had become sleepy and fell asleep on Alicia's shoulder. Alicia did not follow Dalton immediately instead she stopped Dalton and said: "Sir Dalton there is one more you need to be introduced to."

"Oh? Who's that?" Dalton asked.

"Loeri, wake up and greet Sir Dalton." Alicia said while poking Loeri on the head.

"Mhm… Five more minutes... I have had to stay on guard for so many days let me sleep." Loeri sleepily said after only waking up long enough to say these words before falling back asleep. She did not even lift her head.

"Well, Sir Dalton the little dragon on top of my head is named Loeri. She is my contracted beast or should I say contracted dragon..." Alicia introduced Loeri to Dalton since Loeri was too sleepy to introduce herself.

"Alicia… Did-Did you just say dragon!?"
