Phantasia: The Princess Knight 108 Accidentally Announced To The World

To everyone's surprise not only did King Augustus not get mad but he quickly tried to appease the young girl! "Alicia I know you are angry but I also have reasons for this." 

Alicia looked at King Augustus's face as her eyes started to well up with tears. "Do you have any idea what I just had to deal with? Do you understand how real the Illusion World truly is!? I was only in there for a few days and the first friend I made was almost r*ped. Another girl I just befriended was dismembered and had all her organs were removed after being tortured to death!" Alicia yelled as she stomped her feet, her little fists were clenched so tight her knuckles were showing. She still felt guilty for Samantha's death because it was because of her that she had died.

King Augustus's face sank. He saw Alicia's current state and quickly pulled her into a hug. "Alicia I know you had to go through a hard traumatic experience. But I am also doing this for your own good. With the threat of the devils at our doorstep, I can only use this kind of means to harden your heart a bit to these kinds of situations. Devils are a lot crueler than this..." He gently held Alicia's cheek and wiped the tears in her eyes. "Trust me when I say that, Father is doing this for your own good." 

At this time King Augustus no longer cared about hiding Alicia's true ident.i.ty. When faced with this little girl's tears he cared nothing about those around him and acted on his fatherly emotions. Alicia looked up at King Augustus, her eyes full of surprise. "What happened to keeping it a secret until I turned of age?"

"If I as the King can not, even protect my precious daughter, what is the point of me being the king?" King Augustus firmly stated.

"You're not going to make me stay in the castle like a bird locked in a cage are you?" Alicia asked, feeling a bit better now. 

"Of course not! I told you from the start I would support whatever path you decided to take! If you want to be a knight, I will firmly support your path one step at a time! If you fail and fall, I will be there to pick you up so that you can try again!" King Augustus picked Alicia up and sat her on his shoulders. 

Alicia's heart felt warm. Having a parent who fully supported the path that she had chosen made Alicia feel very warm inside. She leaned down and kissed the top of King Augustus's head and then pinched his cheeks. "The kiss was a thank you for supporting my path and the pinch just now was for the next six tests of h.e.l.l I will need to go through!" 

King Agustus smiled awkwardly because she was right, the test would start to get worse and worse after this. "Alicia, I know this will be tough. But I have faith you will pull through this. I have faith that this will be very beneficial for your future as a knight. Especially if we ever go to war with another Kingdom or another race." 

"I understand. I think I understand more than anyone here since I have met a devil before. They show no hesitation in killing and committing unspeakable acts. It's like killing is a sport to them." Alicia knew this much about them. What the countess did to Samantha was basically the tip of the iceberg when it came to what the devils were capable of. 

"That's good..." King Augustus let out a long sigh. He was afraid Alicia would hold this against him. 

As the father and daughter chatted the onlooking crowd all stared at the two dumbfounded. They had never seen the King of Alastine so dotting towards one of his kids. Not to mention this child came out of nowhere! But from the looks of it, she had huge pull with the king! She even kicked him without any repercussions! Some of the n.o.bles who witnessed this all started to make plans in their heads. But as they were looking at Alicia and scheming, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them blocking their view of the King and Alicia. Blake's cold eyes scanned over all the n.o.bles causing them all to shrink back in fear. Blake was emitting his G.o.dly aura silently suppressing them. 

Word quickly spread throughout the capital about King Augustus's hidden daughter. Many tried to speculate what her origins were but no one knew for sure where this girl even came from. In a large room, a boy and a girl were sitting at a table having tea. The door to the room suddenly burst open and a young maid rushed into the room. "Princess! Princess!"

"Mary, why are you in such a rush? If you run like that you will trip and fall!" The young girl who was sipping her tea said with a smile on her face. 

"Princess! His Majesty has another daughter!" Mary answered as she gasped for breath.

"Another daughter? Did he bring in another concubine? Royal Father has not brought in a concubine for a long time." This young girl was the second princess of Alastine Catherine Alastine! 

"Princess it's not that! This girl comes from unknown origins! Not only that she is actually in the process of taking the knights examination." Mary quickly replied.

*Pssss!*

Prince Philip who was sitting across from suddenly spit out the tea he just took into his mouth and stared at Mary. "I-Is her name Alicia!?" 

"Huh? Your highness, how did you know?" Mary stared blankly at Prince Philip. 

But instead of getting an answer Prince Philip suddenly stood up causing the table to flip over spilling the tea and the tea set as he yelled out: "That d.a.m.n old man! He told me to keep it a secret and here he goes announcing it to the world!"

To his side with large tea stains all over her new white dress, Princess Catherine glared at Prince Philip as she angrily shouted at him "Philip! Look what you did!" 

Prince Philip finally came back to his senses when he heard his name being called and looked over at his sister whose eyes were staring back at him like a beast. "Second sister… I did not mean to… AHHH! That hurts! Please stop! Why do you have to pull on my ear.! Sister please stop!!"
