Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 378: City Planning

Alicia was confused. They had just told her this morning that they were going to be going out and seeing the sights of Phantasia. But now they turned up here. Although she was happy because now she could spend some time with them now. Especially after only being able to catch up for a few hours before she went to have her honeymoon. "But I thought..."

"We said that so we could surprise you. Do you think after just arriving on Phantasia we would leave to do other things without spending time with our precious daughter? " Tang An said, giving Alicia a hug. "By the way Akari why are you walking like that?"

Alicia's face blushed from ear to ear along with the girls snickering behind her, quickly gave the reason away instantly. With a teasing grin, Tang An said: "Come, Mother, will massage your thighs it will make it better." 

"Thank you..." Alicia said softly.

"Akari later on we need to talk." Tang Ming suddenly said in a serious tone.

After fifteen minutes of her mother's massage, Alicia was finally able to walk properly again and it was finally time to get to work. Alicia made a rock table and some chairs so everyone could sit around it while she explained her ideas. "I plan to make one tall building out of magic that will house us while we build the city. I do not want to make the entire city with my magic alone since I want the residents to come up with creative and innovative ideas of their own. I want the people of Alastine to think and build the ideas they come up with in order to make a fully unique looking city that is truly built by the people of Alastine. We will have dwarven engineers and some engineers from Farlan here to help with the construction and planning. This way even if they are not able to draw up their own blueprints they will have access to those who can do so and help them create the building they imagined. Luckily with the help of Tia, we were able to make a deal with the surrounding demonic beasts and demons that live within the area. 

"With the demons overseeing the process, the demonic beast population will be culled every month so that we can get our resources and at the same time not harm the lower population demonic beasts. This will be based on the overpopulation of each species of demonic beasts. And only those the Demons say we can cull will we be able to cull them. Tia will also do a population study to make sure that the demons in charge of this region do not lie. This will also keep demonic beast hordes from forming and threatening the city.

"But adventurers who go out into the woods to gather resources will be doing so at their own risk. All matters with demonic beast culling will go through the guild. As for day to day cases, this is not something we can control. We can only warn people to stay out of the mountains and that is it. If they go into the mountains and die to a demonic beast that is their own fault.

"Anyone have any questions?" Alicia asked as she looked at everyone sitting around the table.

"How big will this city be?" The lead dwarf engineer asked. 

"See the map of the area Royal Father gave me?" Alicia pointed at the map. "As long as it stays within this area it can be this big. I want a city of the future. A place where innovative ideas are made. A place so far ahead of it's time that not even the most advanced country on this planet will be able to hold a candle to it." 

"Then Princess, leave it to us dwarves to do what we can!" One of the dwarf engineers said excitedly.

"You can count on us as well." The lead engineer for the people of Farlan proudly said beating his chest with his fist.

With the meeting finished, Alicia waved her hand, building a tall building that had over one thousand apartments. It was fourteen floors with the top floor being her own apartment and the floor right below her was for her parents. The floor under that was for her closest friends and family to share. After she was done she had the craftsmen that showed up begin making some simple furnishings for the apartments.

After handing out tasks Alicia walked over to a small area near a lake and sat down on the shore looking out over it with her parents. Tang Ming was the first to speak."Akari, no Alicia, I should say since that is your new name. There are a few things you should know. About us, about you, as well as what is to come." 

"I have been wanting to know about you, my true parents. Although your faces have slightly changed and are a lot younger, I knew you were my parents right away. But first, let me say this. I do not blame you for what happened to me in my past life. I know you had your reasons for what you did. To be honest I am grateful that you did what you did. I would not have come this far to be the person I am today if not for your actions. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me a chance at a life I could only dream about." Alicia said with a bright smile on her face.

"Akari... " Tang An felt as if a huge weight was lifted off her shoulders. She had always worried that Alicia would resent them for their actions but now she could rest at ease.

"Then I guess we should explain to you everything that had happened to us in the past so you will not be surprised when things happen in the future."
