Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Philip Alastine shrank back at Alicia's scolding. He instantly choked back his sobbing and did his best to push back his tears. He had never in his eleven years been treated in such a fashion. Never mind being yelled at her had never been slapped or had food dumped on him so blatantly.

Off in the corner Blake had pulled out a small bronze mirror that he had pointed towards Alicia. "Your Majesty, should I step in?" Blake asked.

"No this is fine. That kid needs a bit of stern punishment. I actually can't wait to see the look on his face when he finds out that the girl who scolded and beat him when he was younger was actually his younger sister. Just send a message to the guards that they are not to act against Alicia again. If they do and they somehow return with their lives, I will see to it personally that they lose them upon their return. Just watch the scene closely. You only need to worry about Alicia's well being let the guards worry about that brat! I have to go back to work. I leave the rest to you." Berlin said coldly. He did not expect his youngest son to be acting in such a manner.

"I will see to it, your Majesty." Blake replied before storing the small bronze mirror. He then sent out two strands of Magicules towards the two guards who were just standing there dumbfounded. When the strands of Magicules attached to the guards' head they heard Blake's voice speak within their minds. "His Majesty, Augustus Alastine the Second had sent word that you are not allowed to attack Alicia in any way. Just let her discipline the fourth prince a little bit."

Upon hearing the voice in their heads they quickly turned around and looked in Blakes direction. When they saw the emblem on his armor they both firmly nodded their heads. They couldn't help but take another look at the little girl in front of them. 'Who was she that she even had an elite knight guarding her!?'

Alicia saw that Philip Alastine had stopped crying and gave him a bright smile. "It's good that you know your wrongs. What I did just now, was just to teach you a lesson when it came to others. You can not go around throwing your weight around on innocent people. As a member of the royal family, you who stands above everyone else needs to set a good example for the people. It's fine to punish those who commit a crime but never should you punish the innocent for your own amusement. Do you understand?"contemporary romance

Philip Alastine quickly nodded his head. He was afraid if he did not agree he would get punished some more. "Good! Now come let's get you cleaned up or you will catch a cold." Alicia reached out her hand to pull Philip Alastine up. Philip Alastine unconsciously took the girl's hand allowing himself to be helped up. When his hand touched Alicia's hand his face blushed as he felt the warm little hand in his. It made him look at Alicia closely causing him to realize that the young girl in front of him was extremely beautiful! His face blushed even more now that he had realized he had been punished by such a beauty!

Alicia paid no attention to Philip Alastine's absentminded gaze and blushing face as she turned around to his guards and said: "You two!"

The two guards almost jumped out of their skin when Alicia turned her attention to them. "You two need to not follow your masters every order! Sometimes being defiant to teach someone young right from wrong is also the job of a guard, servant, or even an attendant. If you just let your young masters run amok you are only teaching your young masters bad things unless you two have been paid by someone to make sure the fourth prince is unruly!"

Both guards panicked as they quickly went to their knees pleading; "Young Miss it's not like that at all! We were told when hired to do as the Fourth Prince tells us! We were in the wrong Young Miss! Please have mercy!" They were not dumb they knew someone with an elite knight as a guard was not someone they could offend easily.

"It's good that you now know your mistakes. When I get to the capital and I hear that the Fourth Prince here has caused trouble again. I will personally come look for you two myself!" Alicia's childish voice turned cold. Philip Alastine, although he was in the wrong he was not fully at fault since it was his guards and servants who had not educated him well on what was right and what was wrong.

"You have our promise Young Miss!" The two guards quickly replied. They had already known from the exchange earlier that they were no match for this little girl who easily took care of them.

"Since that is settled go take care of the Prince. If he stays wet as he is he will catch a cold." Alicia said as she walked back towards Ela and Rebecca who were standing there dumbstruck at what had just happened. They really did not know what to make of Alicia publicly slapping a member of the royal family, pouring soup on him, and then even scolding him! And not a single person objecting to it. Ela even glanced at Blake who was standing at the side acting as if he did not see a single thing that was going on. Ela only shook her head and wondered just how much 'that' man cared for this girl…
