Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 443: Investigation Part One

A few days later inside the void, Alicia's entire fleet of ships encircled the planet where the sect master of the Heaven Falls Sect was living lively and well. "Everyone is to stay here. Out of everyone, I am the only one who can sneak down onto the planet's surface and check things out. Blake, you will be in command while I am gone."

"Don't worry, I will make sure things go smoothly here." Blake said as he walked over and gave Alicia a kiss and a hug. "Be careful down there."

"Mmm I will. If need be, I will use my bloodline powers." Alicia said with a smile. She then disappeared from where she stood. 

On a mountain top, a frigid wind blew spiraling the snow in the air as it floated to the ground. A young woman stood in this vast white winter wonderland. She looked around and stretched her arms before launching off the ground flying into the sky. "First thing to do is check to see how people on this planet live." 

Alicia looked around and spotted a village not too far off and headed in that direction. She did not land inside the village, instead, she landed in the forest near the village. This was done so she wouldn't surprise the villagers. But as she came up to the village she heard some disturbing shouting. 

"No! I don't want to go!" A young girl's screams could be heard in the air. 

"How dare you resist!? You should feel honored our young master has even taken a liking to a poor village girl like you! All you need to do is please the young master with your body and you can live a much better life than living here." A man yelled.

As Alicia entered the village she saw the scene of a very pretty young girl around fifteen years of age being dragged by a young man in his twenties. Standing outside a carriage being pulled by some sort of demonic horse was a hunched over skinny man with pot marks all over his exposed skin. Alicia sighed at this scene. Why was it no matter where you went there were people like this?

She snapped her fingers and the young man pulling the girl suddenly disappeared, he then reappeared above the skinny man with pot marks. The skinny man with pot marks had no time to react and was smashed to the ground. Alicia appeared in front of the young girl and smiled at her. "Are you hurt?"

The girl looked stunned at Alicia's sudden appearance but quickly nodded her head and answered Alicia's question. " No, they didn't physically hit me."

"That's good, just wait here, I will take care of these people for you." Alicia patted the girl on the head and turned and looked at the two people struggling to get up off the ground. Her eyes went from a warm caring look to a cold piercing look that seemed to freeze everything her eyes landed on. 

"Get off me!" The skinny man with pot marks yelled out as he pushed the young man who fell on him off his body. He then got up swaying a little before steadying himself. "Who dares to harm this young master!?" His gaze swept around him until his eyes finally landed on Alicia. Instantly the angered look on his face turned to one of lust as he said: "You, come serve this young master. Servants quickly go bring that girl to me!"

"You really think you are a god saying this young master this, this young master that? Do you not check if you are even powerful enough to handle the person in front of you?" Alicia smiled coldly as she crossed her arms across her chest.

"Humph! I am an outer sect disciple of the Heaven Falls Sect what I say is law! If I say you will come with me and service me then you will come. What right do you have to say otherwise?" The skinny young man with pot marks snorted.

"What right? I have this right..." Alicia waved her hand and the skinny man with pot marks and the servants he brought with him all disappeared in an instant. "In your next life make sure you check and see if you can even resist before trying to do evil."

Alicia turned to the young woman who was staring at her with wide eyes that showed complete disbelief. "Young Miss, I must trouble you for some information. I am not sure if young miss is willing?"

"Huh? Yes Yes of course. But first, thank you! Thank you so much! If I went with him my life would be completely over." The young girl cupped her hands and bowed her head. Tears rolled down her cheek. She was truly grateful for Alicia's help just now.

"I did it because no one should force any girl to do anything they do not wish to do. I came to the village to ask about the current state of this world. And find out how the regular masses are living. Is something like today a normal occurrence?" Alicia asked.

The young girl thought for a moment before nodding her head. "This happens in every village, town, or city. The ones who enter the Sect are considered gods. We can try everything we can to oppose them but they are much more powerful than us. For someone like me who is already an orphan, I can only rely on myself since no one will be willing to go against the Sect for some orphan girl..." 

"I see Do you have a place of residents?" Alicia decided she would like to see how this girl was living. If she was truly as she said and was an orphan who had no options in this world she did not mind reaching out with a helping hand.
