Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 463: Battle For The Machine Empire Part Seven

"You!? You're with that bitch who killed the man I loved!?" Lina spat out through gasped breaths. 

Hearing someone call Alicia a bitch, caused Loeri's eyes to turn red, her grip became tighter and Lina's eyes began to roll up into the back of her head. Loeri grabbed a hold of Lina's head with her other hand and twisted it, causing a loud cracking sound to fill the room as her head turned in an impossible direction. Logan looked at the trickle of blood dripping down from his daughter's nose and the corner of her mouth and fell to his knees in despair. "Lina!"

A giggle could be heard coming from Loeri as she looked at Logan and said: "Sorry, it seems I twisted too much. But well What's done is done. At least it was quick. Now for you."

Logan looked at Loeri as if she was a devil. He watched her take step after step towards him, but he did not move. Now that his daughter was dead, all will to live or retaliate left his body. He closed his eyes and waited for his death so he could meet his daughter again.

"Wait!" A voice sounded in the room. Loeri turned to see Charles standing behind her. "Leave him to me."

"Okay, but if you do not kill him he will more than likely try to gain revenge." Loeri said, giving Charles a friendly reminder.

"I know. I won't let him off, trust me. I just wish to deal with him with my own hands. Many innocent people who were brainwashed by this man have died. All because he sought power. I will make an example of him so that all those who feel greedy for power will learn what the end results will be. I have always been a fair ruler. But Logan here wanted to begin a mass invasion of other worlds. Just like the world, Alicia met Wendy on. If he just heeded my advice and listen to the laws I set down about being a race that only develops itself to protect against outsiders we would not be here today." Charles let out a sigh. This man in front of him used to be his best friend but now The greed for power was a scary thing. It had consumed his friend and now he had to end his friend's life with his own hands.

"Looks like we will not need to go to the Machine Empire." Alicia suddenly said. She was cuddled up with Blake with her head resting on Blake's bare chest in their bed. They had just finished a few rounds of fun and were now resting. 

"Oh? Why is that?" Blake asked. 

"Loeri and the others have already captured the leader of the rebellion and ended the war once and for all. Charles has complete control over the entire planet once again." Alicia explained.

"This is good news. I was worried you would need to go to the Machine empire while with child, but now it seems you can stay home." Blake smiled and kissed the top of Alicia's head.

"Mhm! Hopefully, we will have more good news and my parents will also wake up soon. Right now this space is just floating around in outer space where Phantasia used to be, so I told Loeri to have everyone fly here and I will meet them when they arrive. We will all now travel the universe together." Alicia couldn't wait to see the other worlds out there. Although she has seen many and she has also found many interesting races but now she realized that the so called inner worlds were just a small section of space in the grand scheme of things. She wanted to get strong enough so she could take care of those who wish to harm her family and friends. 

Alicia had already decided that she must surpass the cultivation of the creators before taking them head on. They were a bunch of old fogies who had many times the experience than her, so she knew it was not wise to try to fight with them now. 

"This I can say I am very excited about. For someone like me who has never really left Phantasia, taking a tour of the universe sounds pretty fun." Blake replied. The two ended up talking until they fell asleep in each other's arms.

"Well Charles, it has been an experience." Loeri said with a smile. "Also, before I leave, Alicia told me to tell you that she will be going on a journey to explore the universe. And that if you wish to see Wendy before she leaves to let me know. We will stop in before we leave." 

"Then I will have to trouble her. Loeri, girls, as the leader of the Machine Empire, I must thank you for your help and support during this time of need. You have my deepest thanks and gratitude. This is a favor I will never be able to repay." Charles bowed his head deeply. He was truly grateful for the assistance he had gotten or else he would have lost everything.

"Charles, lift your head. Alicia also said that friends do not need to thank each other when helping each other out. It should be a rightful course of action." These were words Alicia had told Loeri to say to Charles if he began thanking them like he was. To Alicia, Charles already had become one of her people. A friend she could trust and rely on. This also went the other way around as well.

"Thank you, tell her I will see her when she arrives. To all of you safe journeys!"
