Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 376: Spending Time Together Part Two

The streets were bustling with passersby. Alicia and Blake walked hand in hand down the streets of the capital. They were heading for a small quaint restaurant that most people did not know about. Alicia had only found out about it due to the owner personally inviting her to come visit sometime. The two walked down a back alley where a small sign stood out in front of a brick archway with an old rustic door. The sign read the specials of the day and how many seats were available. 

"Luckily there are still two seats left, let's head in." Alicia said with a smile pulling Blake along.

The two entered the restaurant where only three tables were set out in the small eating hall. Alicia and Blake sat down at the small table that had two seats facing each other. A young girl about eight years of age came walking out and gave them a bow. "Whatcha ordering or do you want a menu?"

"Umm I will have a number two luncheon special." Alicia said with a smile.

"I will have the same." Blake did not want to make it difficult for the little girl so he just went with whatever Alicia ordered.

"They will be coming right up." The little girl reached into her apron and pulled out a piece of chalk. "Can I trouble you to go out and change the seating number please?" 

This was a rule in this place. If you ate there you needed to go out and change the seating number. When you were done you added back the number of vacant seats. "My pleasure." It might seem weird to have the customers do such a menial task but with only two people working in the restaurant at any time, it became a thing after a while. 

The thing about this place was that the food was not only good but you also received a large amount of it as well. Two huge plates full of food came out and was placed on the table. What couldn't be finished was always packed up for the customers to take home. "Looks good!"

The two ate to their heart's content before leaving a decent tip and heading off to their next location. This time they were heading to a store that sold baby goods to get an idea of what they might need later on. The store had everything one might need for a newborn. 

"Blake look at these! So cute!" Alicia picked up a pair of little blue socks that had swords printed on them.

"Do you want a boy or girl first?" Blake asked.

"Well seeing how we have one of each already I do not mind what we have. Either way, Nomi and Frey will be getting a sibling for them to dote on. Why do you have a preference, Blake?" Alicia asked. She had never actually asked him this before and since he brought it up she was curious to what his answer was.

"I'd say a boy. To keep the family line going. Unless you plan to have all your daughters with husbands that marry into the family." Blake answered.

"This I do not know. But either way, be it boy or girl I will love them just the same."

As the day went on the two went to see a performance at the Acting House. They then strolled the city checking out all its sights before heading to the Hanging Gardens for a romantic dinner for two. The hanging Gardens had a few couples tables that were separated from the rest of the restaurant. The table Alicia and Blake received was situated next to a waterfall with many flora and fauna giving it a picturesque view. The seat was a two-seater with a small table in front. All orders were taken by magic and the food was delivered through magic as well. 

Alicia rested her head on Blake's shoulder enjoying the sounds of nature as they waited for their food. The day had gone by too quickly making her wish that the days were much longer. Their dinner went by just as fast and it was time to finally head home. 

Inside her space, curled up in Blakes embrace, Alicia gazed up at the handsome face in front of her as she said: "Blake the sooner we have the child the better In a few years' time, I will need to head to the Machine Empire. I wish to have a child before then. I might seem to be in a rush but I am doing this for a good reason. If something were to happen to me at least I know that I was able to leave behind my mark. My child will be able to carry our genes on into the future. It's funny though, I am normally the first to bury my face in embarrassment when dealing with this kinda stuff but yet today I feel more comfortable talking about it and expressing my willingness to do such intimate things."

"It just means your wish for a family is strong. In your past life, you never got to live past fifteen and in this life, you are well over twenty if you count your time in the cultivator world. It means your maternal instincts are stronger now because of all these factors put together. But from what I know about you, from the time you met Frey, your maternal instincts were already activated. Maybe it is because you are now able to do the things that allow you to have a child that they have grown stronger. We have talked about children before. But it was always years into the future. Whether we have one sooner or later it is all up to you. I will follow whatever you wish. Whatever makes you happy I will give my all. Akari your happiness is all that matters to me." Blake said nuzzling his nose in Alicia's hair. 

Alicia blushed as she raised her head and pushed her lips against Blakes. She then put her arms around his neck as she whispered: "Then shall we?"
