Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 135: Test Of Generosity Part One

That night Alicia finally settled her poor little heart down. It was beating so fast during her conversation with Blake that she thought that it would jump out of her chest. But once she did finally calm down, she couldn't stop the big grin that was plastered onto her face. She laid on her bed and grabbed her pillow as she screamed into out of excitement. 'I actually made such a promise with Blake! Fifteen years in my past life and I had never once even so much as held a boy's hand. Not even ten years have passed in this life and here I am engaged. Now that I think about it, Blake is only fourteen In a sense, I should see him as a little kid because mentally I should be around twenty five. I wonder if its because I did not get to mature like a normal child. Although I grew up around Royal Father in this life, I still interacted mostly with Loeri as a friend. After l left the forest and reached the capital, I became friends with Claire, Rose, and Starla. So I guess my current maturity is still around the age of fifteen?' 

Alicia let out a sigh. Although she had grown in certain aspects she still saw herself as a kid. This was probably the reason why she had accepted the fact that she liked Blake even if he was only fourteen. After mulling over her engagement with Blake for a while. Alicia finally drifted off into dreamland.

The next morning Alicia was standing outside the cottage with Claire, Rose, Starla, Frey, and Princess Catherine. "Nora, Jade, Jasmine, let me formally introduce you to my friends and family. This here is Claire. She will be helping you three get an understanding of this world and assist you with your daily needs. Next to her is Rose. Normally Rose takes on the same roles as Claire but she is more of my personal guard whereas Claire was appointed as Frey's personal guard by me. Frey as you can see is a fairy but she is also my daughter. Which makes you three her aunts. So don't spoil her too much. 

"Then comes Starla, my best friend. If you are ever in need of any help and I am not around, look for Starla she can assist you. And the pretty girl in the blue dress is one of my Big Sisters Catherine. She is the Second Princess of Alastine."

"So you three are the ones my Little Sister brought out of the Illusion World. I heard about you from Royal Father and from Alicia. Since Alicia sees you as her little sisters that makes you my little sisters as well. Come to me if you ever need anything." Princess Catherine stepped forward and pulled the three girls into a hug. Alicia was happy to see Princess Catherine was so willing to accept them. She was afraid that might be a bit of discrimination against Nora and the two girls because of their origins. 

Besides those who would be seeing Alicia every day, Princess Catherine was also let in on Alicia's origins. Surprisingly, Princess Catherine, after hearing that Alicia was of a race that was not from this planet, her reaction was only a shrug of the shoulders followed by her saying: "Alicia is Alicia, is she not? She is still my little sister and anyone who says different I will fight tooth and nail with." Before storming off leaving behind a stupified King Augustus. It seemed Princess Catherine had come to care deeply about Alicia since watching her go through the tests. During the last test, Princess Catherine had to take care of a few things back in the castle so she was not able to be there for Alicia's last test. She had only found out about the day's happenings when she returned late at night. 

With everyone accepting the three girls, Alicia felt more at ease. She said her goodbyes to the three girls and Frey and left her space with Princess Catherine, Rose, and Starla. Claire was to stay behind and help Nora, Jade, and Jasmine get a better understanding of this world. 

"Today's test will start with the Test of Generosity. There is not much to explain this time around. But I will warn you that being too generous or generous to the wrong person can lead to failure! Alright, line up!" King Augustus yelled out before flashing and appearing next to Alicia. "Alicia, I suggest that you refrain from touching too many of the illusions."

"I know. Royal Father, I will do my best to contain my emotions. But sometimes it is a bit hard..." Alicia said.

"Well either way, if the Illusion does become real it will be loyal to you so it is not so bad. Just be careful is all. We do not want others to begin talking." King Augustus was worried that if anyone found out that Alicia had the power to make illusions real, that someone with bad intentions would try to kidnap Alicia and force her to make powerful illusions become reality. 

"I will do my best Royal Father." Alicia smiled and hugged King Augustus's waist. 

"Royal Father can you allow me to step in if I think there is a chance that it might happen again?" Princess Catherine stepped forward and asked.

"This is a good idea! I will make it so you can step in if the situation calls for it. But you can not step in unless you see a strong connection between Alicia and the illusion she is about to touch." Having someone on the inside to stop these actions was a good idea. It would at least make it a bit less likely Alicia will come out with another three sisters.
