Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 384: People From The Other Continents Part Two

The young girl was not sure what to do now. Everything had been exposed in just a short interaction and on top of that, the girl who did not even look much older than her was very powerful. She wondered when the people of this continent had gained such strength. From what she understood this continent only had a few powerful masters but the people in front of her now were not them! Compared to her homeland the young girl in front of her would be considered a rare genius but she was in no way the strongest. The big issue was the woman next to her This woman aura sent chills down her spine. The young girl decided it would be best to escape for now.

"Little girl where do you think you are going?" A voice floated into the young girl's ear from behind her, sending shivers through her body. She watched as the figure of the woman in front of her gradually disappeared and realized she had been looking at an after image just now!

"Please let me go..." The young girl's voice was shaky and her whole body began to tremble when she felt a hand on her shoulder. 

"No can do. You see my daughter said you are not allowed to leave now that you have shown up. So you will be coming with us. If you do not wish to end up like your friend it would be best if you came along quietly okay?" Tang An said with a smile. Her voice calm and soothing. But even still it was the sound of impending doom to the young girl.

"An, you scaring the girl." Tang Ming came out of hiding seeing that the surroundings were clear. 

"Akari, let me take him, there is no need to dirty your hands." Blake said as he appeared at Alicia's side. It was only then that the young girl gave a glance at the two's hands and saw the dragon and phoenix rings.

"The Rulers." The young woman muttered to herself. She now understood. This young man and woman were the Rulers they were supposed to take care of but both of them were much more powerful than they had realized.

"Oh ho? So you are here for that." Tang An waved her hand creating a rope made of magic binding the young girl. "Since that is the case we really can't let you leave."

In a far off location on Phantasia

"Master, Ray and Lily's signature disappeared!" A man in a blue uniform came running into the room where an old man with grey hair and mustache was sitting in a chair behind a desk reading some documents.

"What do you mean disappeared?" Calmly putting his document down he folded his hands in front of him on top of the desk and asked.

"Master, you asked us to watch Ray and Lily's signatures closely to make sure they were safe but they suddenly disappeared." The man in a blue uniform explained after catching his breath.

"I see. It seems they were not able to handle the situation. Send out an investigation squad. Tell them they are to investigate only. We have to be careful since we have not stepped on that continent in a long time." The old man said as he got up. He turned to look out the window. He stroked his mustache as he got lost in thought.

"By your will Master!" The man in the blue uniform bowed deeply before leaving the room.

"To think a great war will be coming. The times will be changing. Who we side with will determine our place in the new world. If only I could get the council to listen. They sent out Ray and Lily to investigate and try to kill these new rulers. I guess I should go see for myself..." The old man said as he waved his hand. The curtain to the window closed and magical runes formed all over the room. A passage opened in the floor and the old man slowly descended the stairs. 

At the end of the staircase, there was a small hall, on the walls were ancient paintings of all kinds. When the old man reached the end of the hall it opened up to a large room, where many golems were lined up in rows. Their numbers reached in the tens of thousands. The old man gazed out over the golems and let out a sigh. "Let us hope you are worthy of these. Otherwise, you will become the enemy who has to face them. For generations, anytime a new ruler appeared the council would send people out to kill them before they grew too strong. But it seems this time we have come across rulers who are strong from the start."

The old man waved his hand and took out two crystals. "Ray, Lily, you are both alive, so my guess is that these rulers are not ruthless. If not for the council I would not have sent you out. But I will see with my own eyes if they are truly worthy of ruling this world."

The old man suddenly disappeared from the room. The magic symbols on the wall of the office disappeared and the floor closed up. A sheet of paper fluttered in the air and lightly landed on the desk. One sentence was written on the paper. "This old man went out to play."

"So your name is Lily and the continent you are from is called Sanavilia. The council that oversees the well-being of the continent voted to have the two of you come and investigate the situation and if possible kill the targets?" Alicia asked as she sipped her tea. The young girl named Lily that they had captured sat across from her, took a bite out of the pastry in her hand, and nodded her head. 

"That is about it. Those old bastards wanted to use us to find out the strength of the new rulers to see if they needed to send an army or not. But our Master who was against the idea of sending us was forced to do so by the council. Ray, my senior brother, is a bit of a hothead and not so bright. I do apologize for his actions and words." Lily replied honestly. Once she began talking with Alicia she found Alicia to be very easy to talk to and was not going to kill her or her senior brother. She only ruffed up her senior brother due to his words.

"I see. I must apologize but we can not let you go at this time. As you know if you return you will be forced to tell them about us and our powers. I can not let the enemy know of this information until they are at our doorstep." Alicia explained.

"That's fine. To be honest I would rather not go back. You and your husband have been kind to us even though we came here to kill you. Well, kind to me at least. Ummm to warn you, our master may show up. But I do not think he will start a fight." Lilly said.

"If he does we will talk. For now, you will follow me. Your magic has been sealed so you will not be able to harm me but I do not want anything to happen to you just in case. Although it seems peaceful here that can change at any given moment."
