Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 388: Plans set In Motion Part Two

"Is everything ready?" Alicia who was standing next to King Augustus asked. 

"Mhm. The leaders have all given their go ahead. So you can begin at any time." King Augustus answered. He was really surprised when he first heard about this plan but he also realized this was the best plan as well. It would keep their people safe from the war that was to come and also throw the enemy off when they came to invade to find the entire country had disappeared. 

"Alright, I will get started then. My mother is already in my space waiting to set them up in their own barrier. We plan to use earth magic to build a bridge between each landmass so that we can still do trade between each country." Alicia had thought long and hard. Even though each country would be its own landmass, some consisting of multiple landmasses, she did not want to stop trade between the countries since it would hinder everyone's daily lives.

"You and your mother come up with some crazy ideas. I can see who you take after." King Augustus said jokingly.

"You don't know the half of it!" Tang Ming who had just arrived said sarcastically. "When those two are together, us men just need to keep our mouth shut. Or we wouldn't even know what had happened to us." 

Letting out a laugh King Augustus said: "Makes me glad I only need to deal with little Alicia. Otherwise, I would have disappeared a long time ago."

As the two men had their man talk, Alicia shook her head and ignored them. She looked down at the land below her and waved her hand. She sent out a massive amount of magic power out over the land. It covered not only the originally Alastine territory but the old Blackstone Empire and Mytheth Lenora. This process did not take long and was almost instant. She encompassed the entire area even tens of kilometers below the surface. 

With a snap of her fingers, the entire area disappeared. All that was left was a huge crater that you could not see the bottom of. "Royal Father, You should go in and make sure everyone is okay."

"Mmm.. I will go. Thank you for your hard work." King Augustus said as he patted Alicia's head.

"I am just doing my job as your daughter and as both a knight and the Crown Princess of Alastine. Protecting our kingdom comes first before anything else." Alicia said with a smile.

"You are right! Nothing is more important than protecting the kingdom." King Augustus smiled before disappearing from where he stood.

"You two have a very close relationship. I am kind of jealous." Tang Ming had this kind of relationship too when Alicia was young back on earth but now

"Dad it is because he is my father of this world. My relationship with you is just as close and I love you both just the same." Alicia really did love both her fathers. Both had raised and cared for her deeply. She couldn't be any luckier to have such loving fathers.

Alicia flew to each country she had an alliance with making them completely vanish from the area. This even included the demons and dragons she befriended. Three days later Claude returned with many of the leaders of the faction who wished to protect the ruler. He was completely shocked when he saw the massive crater in the ground in an area only a few days ago had been a fertile landscape.

"Princess Alicia this?" Claude asked, he was completely confused about the situation.

"I moved my entire kingdom into my space. It is to protect the lands from being destroyed if a world war does break out. And if by chance things go south and we lose the war, my people can still live their lives to its fullest without worry." Alicia explained.

"This is truly an impressive feat." Claude was really impressed. Such a thing never crossed his mind when dealing with a situation such as this. 

"I would offer to do the same for your homelands but I am not able to tell if people with bad intentions would mix in with your civilians. As you know my lands were covered in a barrier to keep outsiders out. Which means I know no one with bad intentions is within my or my allies' lands." Alicia did feel bad she could not offer the same protection to Claude's land she could only do it in a different manner. "But that is not to say I can not take your citizens in. They will all need to pass through a barrier that is designed to ward off people with bad intentions towards my homeland, its people, and myself. Once they pass the test they can then move into my space where I can set up accommodations for them."

"Then I will leave it to you. Also, these gentlemen would also like to speak with you." Claude turned and looked at the three old men standing behind him.

"Good Princess Alicia. We have heard great things about you. In all my years alive I have been striving for a new world. Sadly the sign of the ruler only shows rarely and normally the ones given this sign are exterminated too quickly for us to act. Luckily this time we were able to meet the ruler before something bad happened. You can call me Old Don." Old Don said with a smile as he gave a bow. He was an elderly old man with white hair and a shaved face. 

"Truth be told my husband and I do not wish to become some ruler. We decided to do this because people are targeting us no matter what just because of some legend. We just want to live peaceful lives, nothing more. But now it seems in order to do that we must fight against the odds. My husband is busy at this time so let me thank you on my and his behalf for your assistance."
