Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 385: People From The Other Continents Part Three

"Are you awake, Senior Brother?" Lily poked Ray in the face with her index finger over and over until she finally got a reaction.

"Huh? Where am I?" Ray said as he looked around the unfamiliar room.

"We are at the construction site of a city within her kingdom. We are currently prisoners sorta. Anyway, we have our magic sealed so we can't do any harm. The girl who beat you up is the Crown Princess of Alastine and one of the Rulers we were looking for." Lily explained.

"I see. Then we need to figure out a way to escape and return home with this information." Ray said seriously as he tried to get up out of the bed he was in.

"I am not going anywhere." Lily suddenly said surprising Ray.

"Lily what do you mean you are not going anywhere. If we do not return they will think we have died. Plus the council asked us..." 

"Stop!" Lily cut off Ray's words. "This is why I keep telling you that you are an idiot. You didn't even listen to Master's words. He said if we found that the new rulers were good people we would not need to kill them and that we should stay put. He would then come and find us himself. "

"Now that you mention it. I think I remember hearing something along those lines. I think at that time I was in such a rage because of the council forcing Master to take on such a task that he was against, that I didn't pay attention to his words." Ray said as he scratched his head. "But I must say that girl really beat me senseless. I didn't even have a chance to do anything. It was like I was some kind of toy for her to toss around."

"Well, you did open your mouth about the wrong things." Lily said with a laugh. 

"Speaking about that, at that time I saw that you ran quite a ways away from me!" Ray remembered seeing Lily out of the corner of his eye backing away very quickly without even saying anything to him.

"Did you think I wanted to be beaten up to? You went and ran your mouth like always. When have I ever stood next to you during those time?" Lily stuck her tongue out at Ray as she said this. She had always moved out of the way and watched as Ray was beaten up by others for opening his mouth.

"You two seem to be quite the cute couple." A voice came from just outside the room. The two looked over to see Alicia walk in with a tray of drinks. "I figured you two may be thirsty so I had someone prepare you some drinks."

"Princess..." Lily felt touched that the princess of this kingdom would be willing to bring them drinks. Mainly because the princesses on her continent were all stuck up and selfish.

"Why are you looking at me like that? It's just some drinks." Alicia let out a laugh as she looked at Ray. "Seems you healed up nicely. Let this be a lesson to you on how to not to do diplomatic relations. If the person you spoke to was not me you would not be able to joke around here with your girlfriend." 

"Princess! Do not joke like that, we are not like that!" Lily blushed as she glanced up slightly at Ray who was bluntly staring at Alicia as if in a trance. The sight of this angered Lily as she reached over and pinched his hip making sure to twist the skin there as hard as possible.

"Ouch! Damnit, Lily!" Ray yelled out in pain.

"Then don't stare like a love-struck fool!" Lily said as she pouted.

Seeing the two's antics made Alicia laugh as she pulled up a seat and sipped her drink. "As you may already know the two of you are prisoners in a sense. You can roam around the city with guards but you can not leave the area. Your magic has also been sealed so even if you did run off, more than likely a demonic beast will kill you. When your master shows up as long as he is not hostile I will allow you to leave with him. At that time I will unseal your magic." 

Ray knew of this from Lily but hearing it from the person he was sent here to investigate and kill he was surprised at how lenient Alicia was being. "I thank you for not taking our lives." 

"No need for thanks, we are not barbarians here. As long as you are willing to speak with us, we will not treat you badly. Even with me sealing your magic it is mainly to protect my people. I mean who would be scared of a loud mouth who gets beaten up easily?" Alicia said jokingly.

Ray's face turned bright red and Lily couldn't hold back her laughter. The three talked amongst each other for a while before Alicia suddenly felt a ripple in her barrier again. "Hmmm. Seems someone is here..."

---

Outside the barrier, an old man stood in the sky with his hands behind his back. He had only given the barrier a light tap in order to let the one who created the barrier know someone was here. Sure enough not more than a few seconds later four people appeared in front of him. "Good day My name is Claude Vernright. I believe you have my disciples Lily and Ray under your care." 

Hearing the old man's words Alicia relaxed her stance."So you are the Master they talk so highly about. Forgive me for saying this but I need to confirm your identity before I allow you to enter my kingdom." 

Claude smiled and nodded. He got good vibes from Alicia. What surprised him the most was the strength of the four people in front of him all rivaled or was greater than his own. "That will be no problem at all." 

Alicia then disappeared on the spot and returned no more than a second later with Lily. When Lily saw the old man her face lit up and a bright smile formed on her lips. "Master!"
