Chapter 216: Alex's Adventures Begin

Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Alicia, someone who had never even seen a picture of a naked man before was suddenly looking at something dangling between her legs. She couldn't help but scream out in fright! She quickly took off the pendant around her neck and let out a sigh of relief when she saw her extra attachment disappear. "From now on when getting changed, bathing, or going to the bathroom I'm taking this thing off..."

After a traumatic experience, Alicia laid down and closed her eyes. "Tomorrow is the official start of my journey. From now on I will live as a man ninety percent of the time. I guess I will go by the name Alex for the next two years."

It was then that the legendary hero Alex was born. He was known for roaming Phantasia handling all the hardest missions the Adventurers Guild had to offer. Alicia now Alex was really excited to know what he was going to experience in the next two years.

Morning came and a handsome young boy walked down the stairs of the inn. His appearance all though young still caused every girl who saw him, to turn their heads. A young girl walked by and 'Accidently' tripped causing Alex to have to react quickly and catch the girl before she fell to the floor.

"Are you okay?" Alex's melodic voice filled the young girl's ears causing her to blush from ear to ear.

"Yes, Yes! Ummm… " The girl suddenly became really shy as she gazed up at Alex. His handsome face entered her eyes making her mind almost explode with hearts. "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Alex looked at the girl confused not quite understanding why he was suddenly being asked such a question. "No, I don't. If you are okay I will take my leave. Be careful okay?"

"I will! Umm… If you..." Before the girl could ask the young boy to go out with her the boy had already disappeared.

Alex, not understanding the young girl's feelings, the same young boy who would also become known as the Alex the Ladies Knight who every girl he met fell in love with, walked down the street that led to the edge of the capital. There was now a teleport magic circle that took people to the land below.

After finally leaving the capital Alex decided to head on the road that would lead him to what used to be known as Mytheth Lenora. This would of course take him through what was last known as the Blackstone Empire. Mainly because he wanted to know how things were going. He could teleport to each of these locations but he thought it best to travel on foot. To see the world and experience things as they come. At his side was Loeri and on his shoulder was Frey who seemed to be having complex emotions.

"Aunt Loeri is Mother now a Father?" Frey asked Loeri.

Causing Alex to smile as he petted Freys' head and said: "For now yes so when calling out to me just say father instead of mother."

"Oh… Mo-Father is confusing Frey. Frey not sure if she likes this..." Frey crossed her arms across her chest and pouted.

"Frey it is so people do not recognize your Mo-Father and try to use he-him in some kind of scheme or plot against Alastine. I am sure you do not fully understand but just trust me when I say it is necessary." Alex did his best to explain.

Frey looked up at Alex's handsome's face and blushed. "Mo-Father is too handsome, Frey might die from Mo-Father's good looks."

"You are just a little girl, why are you saying such things!" Loeri reprimanded

"Aunt Loeri if it was not true then why are you afraid of looking at Mo-Father?" Frey asked.

Loeri did indeed have her head down, her hair covering her face but the red tip of her ears gave away what she was trying to hide. "ERR AHHH!" Loeri suddenly yelled out, rubbing her hair, messing it all up. She looked around and after seeing no one there she said: "Alicia why do you look so damn handsome as a man!?"

Alex looked at Loeri confused. She did not see anything different when she looked in the mirror. Was she really that handsome? Alex did not seem to notice but after looking at Blake for so long Alex seemed to be somewhat immune to handsome men. So to him, he was not particularly handsome.

But when he looked over at Loeri who was still blushing away, Alex couldn't help teasing her by reaching out and grabbing her hand, he bent down on one knee and said: "My Princess, As your Prince, I will always protect you." before gently lowering his head and kissing Loeri's hand.

"Ahhh! Stupid Alicia!" Loeri yelled out before disappearing. Loeri had jumped into Alicia's space in order to get away from the handsome Alex. Alex let out a laugh and continued on his way.

Back in the capital, King Augustus was pacing back and forth with a worried expression on his face.

"Royal Father she will be just fine." Princess Catherine tried to cal, King Augustus down.

"Catherine, you did not see how handsome her boy form was. I am afraid she will end up in some weird situation!" He was truly worried. Alicia's transformation into a boy was too handsome! He could only hope Alicia did not run into anyone with special taste.

Thinking about how beautiful Alicia was as a girl and then masking over a man's appearance Princess Catherine Suddenly blushed ear to ear and looked at King Augustus with a worried expression. "Royal Father, I think you are right we might have a problem! "

Chapter 217: A Run In With Slavery

Phantasia: The Princess Knight

In a small village not too far from the old border between Alastine and the Black Stone Empire. Alex was sitting in a small restaurant eating a meal. Alex's group really stood out since with one handsome young boy, a fairy, and a dragon girl all sitting at one table were not common things you would see every day. A fat man in fine silk clothes and gold jewelry adorned all over his body walked over to Alex's table.

"Young Man. How much will you sell your slaves to me for? I am willing to pay any price, just name it." The fat man asked. He had a big wide grin on his face as he looked at Loeri.

Alex looked at the fat man, his eyes turning cold after hearing the fat man's words. Slavery was not allowed in Alastine and if this man was asking such a question meant that he was most likely someone who partakes in slave trafficking or had many slaves at his residence.

Alex quickly shot up from his seat and drew his sword pointing it at the fat man's throat. The whole restaurant quickly went silent. All they heard was Alex's cold voice as he said: "Under the Alastine Kingdoms law, slave trafficking is illegal. If you are looking at the two girls next to me and asking if they are slaves just because they're not human you are very wrong. These girls are my family and you sir have crossed my bottom line. According to Alastine Law, you will be taken to the nearest guard station and reported for your crimes. If you resist I cannot promise I will not cut a leg off."

The fat man gulped as he looked at the blade at his throat. But still, put on a grin. "Young man you seem to be new around here. You see my father is the lord of this town so what I say is the true law. Since you are not willing to give up the two girls for money I can only say that you have missed your chance and will now have to give them over for free! Men capture the girls!"

A bunch of men got up and rushed towards Loeri and Frey. Loeri was still in the middle of stuffing her face while Frey was happily sitting at the edge of the table eating some Magicules. Alex only gave a light snort as he kicked the fat man away sending him flying into a wall. His body disappeared and reappeared in front of the man who was about to try to grab Frey.

Frey finally realizing something was wrong flew up and looked at the man who was currently being locked down by Alex. Frey's little cheeks puffed out as her anger rose up. She yelled out: "Don't hurt my Mo-Father!" And as if like lightning Frey flew at the man who was not paying attention, drew her little fist back, and punched the man in the eye!

The man let out a howl of pain, waved his hand about to try to stop the incoming punches from the fairy, and staggered backward. Alex looked at the little fairy who was flying back and forth punching the man in each eye without remorse and let out a laugh. It was the first time he had seen Frey fight like this. But out of Alex's group, there was one person who was having flashbacks to that day. Loeri was shivering in fear watching Frey beat the man up. She remembered the day when she was beaten black and blue by the little fairy. "He just had to go and provoke the little demon!" Loeri turned her fear into anger and turned around looking at the two men charging at her and dashed towards them. She jumped in the air and spun her body using her tail as a whip smacking both of the men in the head sending them flying backward.

All the onlookers looked on in amazement. The handsome young man and his group were all very strong! Even the fairy was beating a grown man down to the ground. After everyone had been subdued Alex walked over to the fat man who had just regained consciousness and was trying to sneak away and grabbed him by the collar.

"Are you really the son of the lord of this town?" Alex asked.

"Yes! Yes, I am! Why are you scared now?" The fat man still showed a bit of pride which Alex quickly squashed as he punched the fat man in the stomach.

"Don't act high and mighty when you are nothing but a criminal. I will bring you to your father and find out for sure if he is in on this slave trade. Because if he is, he will be joining you!" Alex then took out a bronze mirror to contact King Augustus.

Seeing the bronze mirror the fat man suddenly became drenched in sweat. He knew what this mirror was for and it would only contact one person in the entire kingdom! Alex explained the situation to King Augustus causing King Augustus to immediately appear at Alex's location.

King Augustus looked at Alex with a complicated expression and said: "Good work young la-man, I will see to it that you gain merits for this discovery. You and your friends can run along. I will handle it from here." After pausing for a second King Augustus suddenly pulled out a blank white mask. "Here put this on. And remember if anyone offers you any candy do not take it!"

Alex took the mask and looked at King Augustus with a strange look. 'I am not a child! I know to not follow strangers or take candy from them!'
