Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 374: Sign Of The Ruler

Off in the distance, six powerful figures suddenly raised their heads looking up at the sky before their bodies disappeared only to reappear in the skies above Alistine's capital. 

"Old man, you came to? I thought you were not able to move anymore since you're so old." A graceful young woman who did not look older than twenty five said. Her purple robes fluttered in the breeze as she looked down at the young couple who were finishing up their wedding ceremony.

"Humph! You're just as old as I am! Just because you look young doesn't mean you are!" The old man as he was called argued back. 

"You! This lady is still young!" 

"You two never change." A young looking man interrupted the two.

"Humph, it's all because she has to lay into this old man every time she sees me." 

"Haha! Seems the fun has just begun. To think we would see the sign of a ruler in this day and age. I never thought I would get to see such a thing again." A muscular middle aged man said.

"That is true. The last time was a few million years ago. But unfortunately that ruler sigh..." A scholar looking man said.

"Well, at least this world will finally get a new ruler. Their fates are their own." An old woman with a cane spoke as she gazed down at the wedding ceremony. 

As they gazed down at the wedding the six powerful figures all were stunned when a figure appeared before them. If King Agustus saw this figure he would recognize it as Tang An's projected image. Her eyes gazed at the six figures coldly. "If you have come to cause trouble during my daughter's wedding, I do not mind sending you on your way!" 

"Haha, no worries we are just here to see the new rulers." These six figures showed no signs of fear when threatened by Tang An. 

"Rulers?" Tang An, was confused since she had never heard of this before.

"Every so often when a couple gets married and their wedding contracts are made. A phenomenon will occur. This phenomenon is known as the sign of the ruler. One of the two, either the bride or groom is destined to become the ruler of this world. That is if they can live long enough. Although we are millions of years old, we do not even know why this comes about. But these rulers will be targeted by the hidden powers of this world. These powers do not come from this continent.

"From the first look, if you look down at this world, you will only see the one landmass. But that is because this continent is the weakest out of the three. This world is huge, so big it can fit many smaller sized planets within it. There are a total of three continents on this planet but they are hidden by a magic barrier that separates them from the rest. If you know their location you can easily make it to these continents or you can find them by accident by flying around aimlessly. 

"But now with the sign of the ruler appearing in the sky. The powers from these said continents, will now send people to investigate and even try to assassinate the new ruler. Since it is hard to tell whether the groom or the bride is the ruler, they will kill both." The scholar looking man said with a sigh.

"Oh? Someone will target my daughter. Just how powerful are these people compared to you and me?" Tang An asked.

"Those powers are millions of years old. Some of which have ancestors who are still around since the creation of the power itself. They could be leaders of a family clan, kings, or even queens. Just know that they are indeed strong, some maybe even stronger than you. Mm yes, some are stronger than the creators themselves. That is why this world was... Just know that hard times are coming for those two." The scholar looking man answered.

"I will keep your words in mind. My husband and I, plan to stay on this world and accompany my daughter for a few hundred years. If the people who come end up being too powerful for her to handle, my husband and I will step in. Otherwise, we will allow her to deal with the situation so she can grow. Please, come and enjoy the festivities." Tang An said with a smile. She was not worried that these six people would cause any harm. 

"Then we will not be polite!" The muscular middle aged man said with a laugh. The other five looked at each other before nodding their heads. Tang An's projection led them down so they could join in the festivities. 

At the altar, the wedding contract finished and the light from the magic circle dimmed. King Augustus came back to his senses after being awed by the dragon and phoenix in the air. With a bright smile on his face, he said: "You may now kiss the bride Ahem, once again!" 

Blake wrapped his arm around Alicia's waist and pulled her close. He stared into her eyes before pushing his lips onto hers. Alicia's cheeks blushed as she closed her eyes. She was very happy. She and Blake were now husband and wife. She hoped that in the future she would be able to watch as her own children stood in this very same spot and married the one they loved and would experience the happiness she felt at this very moment.
