Chapter 133: A Promise Between the Two Part One

Alicia decided to have Nora, Jade, and Jasmine stay in the cottage of her space for now. At least until the test was over. King Augustus said he would give Claire a free pass on the test to allow her to help educate the three girls on the new world they are now in. 

Now knowing that she was not actually human and was from a race known as the Celestial race and that there was only one person who could explain things to her, Alicia knew she had to muster up her courage to talk to Blake more. Though she was still quite embarrassed to even look at him now that he had confessed his love to her, she still needed to find out about herself. 

Blake was standing out front of the cottage speaking with King Augustus while Alicia was settling in her new little sisters. "Blake, I know I said you can marry Alicia in the future. But are you not being a little hasty with your sudden confession?"

"Hmm? What's wrong with expressing my love to the girl I plan to marry in the future? I do not expect her to reciprocate my feelings right away. I will protect her and stay by her side while we both grow up to be adults. This has nothing to do with Alicia's lineage or her power. The only thing I care about is Alicia herself. What she decides to do in life is up to her. I will do whatever I can to help her accomplish her goals." Blake's main thing was Alicia's happiness. As long as she was living the life she wanted that was all that mattered.

"What if she says she does not love you and does not want to marry you when the time comes?" King Augustus asked seriously.

"Then all I can do it keep staying by her side and hope one day she does fall in love with me." Blake replied honestly. He would not force himself on to her if she really did not like him. He would only try to do his best to get Alicia to see him as a love interest.

"Well, I do not see that happening. I hate to admit it but my little girl does have feelings for you. How deep they go I do not know." King Augustus let out a sigh. He did not want to give up Alicia to any man. But there was no one in this world who was more suited for Alicia than Blake. His devotion was real.

"Don't worry I will not marry Alicia out. I will marry into your family." Blake suddenly said.

King Augustus turned to look at Blake in surprise. A faint smile formed on his lips. "You are a good kid. I will hold you to that. As I see it now I have no heir to the throne. With the current Alicia as she is now she is already one hundred times better than that idiot son of mine. If only Adrian could act as Alicia does then I would be able to rest at ease when I finally abdicate. But now he is stripped of his title. His ambitions are too great and I fear that in the future if I did pass him the throne he would ruin this kingdom. That's why after watching Alicia's actions so far I have been putting a plan in place in my head. As long as Alicia stays the same as she grows older, she will become the Crown Princess of Alastine and the Heir to the throne. I hope at that time you will assist her in any way possible. Because you are the only one I can trust with my daughter." 

Blake looked at King Augustus, his cold face melting to a warm smile. He drew his sword and went down onto one knee. "I swear by my sword. That no matter what happens in this life, I will protect Alicia at the cost of my own life. I will never betray her and she will be my one and only."

"Haha! A god swearing to his sword! This is new, but I like it. Remember do not force Alicia to be with you. If she so chooses to not fall in love with you then keep away any pesky flies that she might like. I would rather her to be single forever than be with anyone else! Humph!" King Augustus would never allow his daughter to be with any man he does not approve of!

"What pesky flies?" King Augustus froze in place, he turned around to see Alicia standing there with her head tilted to the side looking at him with questioning eyes.

"Ahaha It's nothing, do not worry." King Augustus laughed awkwardly as he replied.

"Hmmm? Okay Blake, can we talk?" Alicia paused and looked up at King Augustus before continuing. "Privately?"

"Ahem Then Alicia I will head back and check in on how things are going with the test." King Augustus took the hint and vanished into thin air. 

Alicia stood in front of Blake, her cheeks and ears red as she looked at the ground. She twiddled her fingers as she tried to put her thoughts into words. "Blake what you said earlier. It made me very happy. I-I will not lie to you I do like you. I like you a lot. But... I am not ready for a relationship. I am too young and my path in life has yet to be fulfilled. So I was kind of hopp..."

"I will wait. As long as you need, I will wait. I will stay by your side and wait until the day you are ready. But remember this. No matter if it takes hundreds of years or more I will wait. Because in this life Alicia You are my one and only. My love for you will never change no matter how much time passes." Blake laid out his entire heart for Alicia to see.
