Chapter 206: Royal Father You Idiot! Part One

Phantasia: The Princess Knight

The Elven King looked on as the area in front of him that showed a tear in space. Two figures stepped through. causing the elven king's eyes to open wide as fear crept up his spine when he looked at the cold expression on the little girl's face. He did not dare to underestimate the two since they were able to tear space. Being able to do such a thing meant that they were a lot stronger than they appeared. "Who are you!?"

"Me? Oh, just the Third Princess of the country you tried to invade but failed. I have come here today to dish out punishment on the crime of invading my Alastine Kingdom and killing its people. You have two options, you can either die here and be annexed by Alastine or unconditionally surrender and still be annexed by Alastine. Which do you choose? Do hurry, I still need to go to your basement and retrieve my Royal Father. So I will only give you five seconds to answer." Alicia was not in the mood to play word games. It was a simple question and all he had to do was pick a choice. She wanted to hurry up and get her royal father before heading to the Empire, she would seize the Emperor and the Empress and annex the Blackstone Empire as well.

"One!"

Hearing Alicia start her count down the Elven king was in a panic. He knew if he said no he would die this day. He treasured his life and did not want to die! "I surrendered! The lands of Mytheth Lenora now belong to the Alastine Kingdom!"

"Good choice! Now time for your punishment." Alicia began cracking her knuckles and walking towards the elven king. The eleven king's face paled as he saw Alicia's little fist appear right in front of his eyes.

Ten minutes later…

Alicia stood up and wiped the sweat off her brow. "I feel refreshed now. Blake, stay here and guard the Elven King for me. I need to go rescue Royal Father"

Blake looked at Alicia who now had a smile on her face then at the black and blue Elven king who was on the floor wailing out in pain and chuckled. 'My little wife has a naughty side to her.'

Alicia did feel better after releasing her anger out on the eleven king's face. Alicia walked out of the room and was surprised to see no guards at all. She really had to give it to the elven pride of theirs. They truly thought too highly of themselves. Lost in thought Alicia made her way down towards the basement. She had only come across about five guards which she knocked each of them out.

Alicia was actually amazed at how the castle was made. It was completely cut out of the giant tree, so from the walls, the ceiling, and to the floor were all made of wood. Even the lifts between the floors were made of wood. One thing she did find annoying was that the lifts were like a puzzle. Some went between two floors while others went between three to five floors. And once they reached a floor you had to take another lift to get to a new floor because the one you were in would stop working altogether! In a way, this was a defense system in its own right!

After almost two hours of trying to find the correct pattern and still not getting to where she wanted to be, Alicia started getting impatient. So she called out Loeri hoping maybe she would help some. "Is it time for I, the Great Loeri to shine!?"

"Loeri, use your dragon nose and tell me how to get to the bottom floor." Alicia's words garnered a strange look from Loeri.

"Alicia, I am a dragon you know?"

"And? Can't you smell things from far away? See if you can smell my Royal Father." Alicia was already in a bad mood, with Loeri questioning her at this time, it was not making her mood any better.

Loeri wanted to say that she was not a dog but seeing how Alicia seemed to be upset she decided not to say anything and obediently started sniffing the air. Sure enough, it was faint but she did smell King Augustus. After a short while, Alicia was able to find a lift that went straight to the basement with the help of Loeri's nose. The lift was well hidden and seemed to stop at every floor.

Loeri and Alicia made their way down to the bottom floor. The door to the lift opened revealing a long dark hallway with a dim light at the end. Alicia continued forward with Loeri behind her. The hallway was long and took them almost five minutes to reach the end.

At the end of the hallway was a wooden door with a barrier on it. Alicia waved her hand, shattering the barrier easily. She pushed open the door and entered the room. Her eyes teared up when she saw her Royal Father placed in the room like a statue. "Royal Father, Alastine is going to be just fine. I even expanded our territory and made Grogandon a vassal country." Alicia placed her hand on King Augustus's frozen hand that was as cold as ice. More tears rolled down her cheeks as she gazed upon him.

"I just wish I knew how to unseal yo..." She stopped her words as she looked at his hand and noticed that he was still making some kind of hand sign.

"It couldn't be that simple could it?" Alicia thought to herself as she copied the hand sign King Augustus was making. A sudden flash of bright light shined from King Augustus's body forcing Alicia to cover her eyes. When the light dimed she saw her Royal Father standing there grinning ear to ear.

"I knew that old idiot wouldn't figure it out! HAHAHAHA!"

Chapter 207: Royal Father You Idiot! Part Two

Phantasia: The Princess Knight

King Augustus burst out laughing only for his laugh to get caught in his throat when she saw Alicia's face turning red in anger. "Royal Father you idiot!" Stomping her feet in anger, she brought her foot back and kicked King Augustus in his shin! Alicia without a word sent Loeri back into her space before teleporting back to the elven king's office.

Alicia wondered just how stupid her Royal Father was! What if the old elf actually figured it out! Her father couldn't beat him because the old elf was more powerful than him! The only reason she won was because she had opened up some of her celestial powers allowing her to be hundreds of times stronger than him!

Back in the small room, King Augustus was rubbing his sore shin. "Did I do something wrong?" He truly did not know what set Alicia off. "Did she really need to kick so hard I think the bone is fractured!" Casting a quick healing spell King Augustus disappeared from the room.

Inside the elven king's office, Alicia stood waiting. She already knew that King Augustus would follow after her, so her wait was not too long. "Alicia, listen, I do not know what I did but I am sorry!"

"Forget it, just deal with the annexation over Mytheth Lenora. We still have to go to the Blackstone Empire and annex them as well." Alicia was not in the mood anymore, she was so sad seeing her father in such a state only for him to actually leave the hand sign that unseals him in plain sight!

"Annex? Hoho?" King Augustus looked over at the elven king with a big smile on his face. Only to open his eyes wide when he saw the black and blue elven king. "Seems my daughter has been busy."

"Royal Father, Blake and I will head to the Blackstone Empire now and make them surrender as well. You handle the things here. When you're done, head over the Empire. I should have the Emperor and Empress in my hands by then. Blake will contact you so you can get a clear image of the location you want to translocate to. "

"Alright, I will handle things here then and Alicia..." King Augustus picked Alicia up and hugged her tightly. "Thank you, for coming."

Alicia's eyes welled up with tears. She wrapped her arms around King Augustus's neck and buried her face into his shoulder as she cried. It was hard! It had been very hard on her. Always worrying about what would happen next. Although things were turning out okay she was always worrying about the what if situation. She felt the weight of the millions of lives that had been lost and that depended on her. Although her soul was older than her body. She was only fifteen when she died and transmigrated. She had never had to deal with shouldering an entire country on her shoulders.

King Augustus held his daughter in his arms rubbing her back as she cried. "It has been hard on you. But Alicia, you did a good job. You saved Alastine. As a king and as a father I am very, very proud of you."

King Augustus turned his head towards Blake and smiled warmly at him. "It's good to know that in the future, Alicia has such a reliable man at her side. Though when I say in the future I mean a few hundred years. Since I won't hand my daughter over until then!"

King Augustus's words made Alicia snort in laughter. She lifted her head with a smile on her face and kissed King Augustus's cheek. "Royal Father… No, Dad, thank you for taking me in and caring for me even though I am not your own flesh and blood."

Hearing the word dad caused King Augustus to smile like an idiot. He really liked that word. None of his other kids ever called him that. "The day I decided to make you my daughter was the day you became my daughter through and through. Blood means nothing when it comes to family. But Alicia can you call me that again?"

"Call you what?" Alicia asked with a grin on her face.

"Just call me dad one more time!" King Augustus asked in a pleading tone.

Alicia looked at that pleading face and let out a laugh. "Dad!'

King Augustus made Alicia say it a few more times before finally putting her down. "I will handle the formal matters here. Once you have the Empire under your control send me a message through the bronze mirror."

"Then we will see you soon. " With her goodbye, Blake and her disappeared from the room.

"Now that she is gone, Rhys Cardi, the Elven King, or should I say the king of The Beast Kingdom, the Beastmen King Margix or at least the one who controls his body. You know your illusion spell can not fool me." King Augustus's whole body suddenly changed from the handsome middle aged man to a man in his twenties, he had long golden hair and deep black eyes.

"Humph! I knew I couldn't hide it from you. You called Vulre old but how old are you really, Naito Shigeru?"

"So you are a soul from back then. All those millions of years ago. At that time I never thought that my soul would travel back in time, never mind to another world." King Augustus gave a lofty smirk as he sat down on top of the desk.

"Not only that, your soul even took over one of the celestial bodies that had died at the time. If not for that my race would have won the war back then."

"It's too bad that you decided to show yourself again. Lich God of Death Nec'zer."
