Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 55: The King Arrives Part One



There were many areas to the main courtyard which was to become Alicia's new residence. It had everything a normal house would have. A kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, and even a study. The back garden even had a manmade pond in the center with a footbridge that went over it. The way it was set up gave it a quiet and serene atmosphere. Not far down the path from Alicia's courtyard was a fully equipped training area for Alicia to train her swordsmanship and magic. With all these things combined Alicia was very happy with this place. Of course, she would have been happy anywhere as long as there was a roof over her head but she really did like this place. As for Blake's courtyard? Alfred was to settle Blake into one of the courtyards that was furthest away from Alicia's. This was an order passed down by Berlin himself.

After looking around a bit and making sure Alicia had everything she needed, Alfred left, pulling Blake with him. Alicia made her way to her room where Loeri and Frey both flew down to sit upon the bed. "So what do you two think? Do you like it here?"

"Frey is fine as long as she has Mother!" Fery said firmly.

"This place is fine for me. Then again I am a dragon we can sleep in dim damp caves if we want to..." Lazily said as she found a place that was comfortable and closed her eyes.

"Loeri are you okay? You have been sleeping a lot lately." Alicia asked. She had noticed that Loeri really has been sleeping a lot. Much more than when she first met her.

"I'm fine, don't worry. This happens any time I go into a growth spurt. My body needs to sleep while it undergoes its changes. I had been meaning to mention it to you but I might go into a deep slumber for a few months. This is normal so do not worry." Loeri explained as she yawned.

"Okay, as long as nothing is wrong. How long will your slumber last for?" Alicia let out a sigh of relief. She had been with Loeri for a long time now and she saw Loeri as one of her important family members. She knew if Loeri was sick there was probably no one in the human world that could help her.

"Not sure… It can be anywhere from a minimum of three months to even a few years. Normally I would have already gone into my slumber but I wanted to make sure you made it to the capital before I did." Loeri replied.

"Okay, I will make sure to wipe you down every day with some warm water. Let's get you a bed made up before you do sleep. Claire! Rose!" Alicia called out.

"Young Miss?" Claire and Rose both entered the room and gave a small bow.

"I need the two of you to find someone to make a small bed for Loeri while she goes into her slumber. If I am not around or have to go out for a few days I need someone to look after her and wipe her body down with warm water." Alicia wanted to make sure Loeri was properly taken care of even when she was not around. Because she was not sure if she would need to go on long trips once she joined the Adventurer's Guild and after she took the squire test.

"No need to worry Young Miss. Alfred has already made sure that there was a small bed made for Young Miss Loeri. I will have someone bring it up right away. Is there anything special needed for Miss Frey that we should know about?" Rose asked.

"No Frey's fine. She will follow me everywhere. She will only eat the Magicule balls I make. So no matter where I go she has to go as well. " Alicia replied. Alicia and Berlin had once tried to see if Frey was able to eat Magicules from others but it seemed Frey refused to eat anything not made by Alicia. Alicia was not sure if this was just Frey being picky or if it had to do with how she was born. Now when Frey gets older she will be able to produce her own food. But Alicia had no idea how many years that will be. She actually wondered how long it took for Fairies to grow older.

"Then I will see to Young Miss Loeri's bed." Rose answered.

After Rose left, Claire stepped forward and said: "Young Miss the Ki..."

Claire's words were interrupted when a butler's voice was heard yelling from the main entrance. "King Augustus Alastine has Arrived!"

"Ahem… As I was saying Young Miss the king will be here soon..." Claire finished her words with a red face.

Alicia let out a laugh due to Claire's embarrassment. But at the same time, she felt a bit nervous. She really did not know how to act in front of a king! "Do I look okay?" contemporary romance

"Young Miss you look fine." Claire replied. She knew no matter what Alicia looked like the King would not care especially since he had already gone through the trouble of setting up such an exquisite place that was actually as heavily guarded as the castle.

"What about me!? What about me!?" Frey asked while jumping up and down on the bed.

"Young Miss Frey is as cute as always!" Claire said while smiling brightly.

"Hehe! Frey is cute!" Frey said happily.

"Okay since we both look fine can the cute Frey hop on Mother's shoulder so we can go meet the King?" Alicia asked as she scooped up Frey.

"Off to meet the King!" Frey shouted as she giggled. She flew up from Alicia's hand and found a comfortable spot on Alicia's shoulder. She was in such a good mood she started singing songs. "Frey gonna meet a king~ A king that rules the land~ King~ King~ King~ Going to meet a king~"

Alicia chuckled as she made her way out of her courtyard towards the main hall. When she entered the main hall she saw a man wearing a nice clean black outfit with a crown on his head. He looked to be in his mid thirties. Alicia couldn't help but admit that this king was very handsome. Of course, this was all things she thought and would never say such things out loud.

Alicia walked up to the king and went to kneel on the ground when Frey's voice was heard in her ear. "Hmm? You smell familiar!"
