Phantasia: The Princess Knight

"He's back again..." I let out a sigh after hearing these words. It has been a while since Alicia left to go on her journey in search of the two girls, she has a strange connection with. With that woman named Yin Li. At first, everything was fine and I was doing my daily training trying to become as strong as possible. But one day while visiting the castle I had met up with Philip, Alicia's brother who is only a few years older than her. On that day I was not in the best of moods. I had just broken things off with Darktorn when I realized he had been sniffing up other girls' butts and had a few other dragon girls on the side. Luckily I never gave him anything. I mean I have never even kissed a boy. 

I know this may sound strange but although I liked Darktorn and got along with him, our relationship never went very far. By not very far, I mean, I was too absorbed in training to really spend much time with him. I can see why he went off with some other girls. It was not like our relationship was ever made clear either. 

Well on this day I met up with Philip. We were to head out and check a few spots for new development near the border of Alastine. This was a routine investigation where we would check how much land we could use without affecting the wildlife. Alicia had always stated firmly that we must never make too big of an impact on the environment so we would not kill off any species of animals. She said, if we need more space, work on ways to grow our city's skyward instead of outwards.

Anyway, I guess Philip noticed my down mood and we began talking. "So that was what happened. Darktorn and I were just never meant to be."

"I think it is his loss. Loeri has always been beautiful and kind, so I do not see why he would not be willing to wait for a girl like you." Philp's words were very sweet and my cheeks instantly blushed. Now do not get me wrong Philip has grown up to be a very handsome man. Even as the proud dragon that I am, I saw Philp as a keeper. Even Alicia has teased me one day for staring too hard at him.

"You are just saying that. Thanks, Philip, for listening to me. It helped me release some of my stress." I had said. I mean just talking about my love life with someone who was not judgemental and not teasing me was nice.

"Loeri, you are someone very special not only to Alicia but to every one of this world. You have staked your life to protect people many times." Philip said while scratching his nose.

I could tell he was somewhat embarrassed by what he said which I found very cute. I couldn't help but tease him. I leaned forward with my arms behind my back and looked up at him with a teasing smile as I asked: "So does that mean I am special to you as well?"contemporary romance

"Yes, you are very special to me. So I wish nothing more than for you to be happy." Ahh! His words almost melted my heart right then and there. I mean I was basically rendered speechless by his words. I could feel my face heating up.

"I-I see… Ah!" The next thing I knew Philip had grabbed my hand turning me towards him and his face leaned in close to mine. I felt something soft touch my lips and my whole body froze. This innocent looking man went in for the kill! He had, without even asking, took my first kiss! 

It only lasted a few seconds before he pulled away, I could only stare at him in disbelief. He embarrassingly scratched his head when he looked at me as he said: "Ahhh... Sorry… I kinda couldn't help myself when you looked at me in such a cute way. I have always liked you, so I lost control..."

*Poof!*

My mind basically short circuited when I heard his confession. The handsome young man who I loved to look at since long ago was confessing to me! I was like eighty times his age! But he still confessed to me! But because of this, we got closer and closer during our trip until one night the two of us had gotten a tad bit too drunk and ended up sleeping together. Yes, that night I lost my virginity to Alicia's brother Philip... And since that day it has been very awkward. It was not that I did not like him. I actually did like him a lot. He is sweet and caring, unlike that other bastard. But I still have some misgivings due to him being Alicia's brother… 

But because of my inability to give a decisive answer, I was now in this predicament. Since Philip would regularly come to see me every day. Don't get me wrong I never turn him away. In fact, I enjoy his company but I know he is waiting for my answer. I looked at my assistant and said: "Tell him I will be right there..." 

And so I hurried to freshen up and walked out of my office and went to meet with Philip. When I arrived he was waiting downstairs with a ton of girls as usual staring at him from a distance. This always kind of ticked me off but at least I could say that in a way he was mine right now even though I had still yet to make a firm decision on that. Maybe it was time I finally talked to Alicia about this… When I walked up to him I gave him my usual smile and he took my hand and kissed it like always which sent my heart aflutter. I gripped his hand and looked him straight into his eyes. "Philip, I wish to talk to Alicia about us today will you accompany me? Based on what she says will depend on what happens to us." 

Yes, first and foremost I needed Alicia's approval. She was my master after all...
