Phantasia: The Princess Knight

*Pfft!*

"Hahaha! You so deserve it! Akari when will you learn to stop being so lazy!" Miya let out a laugh while holding her stomach. Akari pursed her lips and began walking faster towards the school. Miya stopped laughing and quickly ran after Akari. "Akari, I'm sorry I laughed but still come on. That was very funny."

"Humph! Next time something weird happens to you I will make sure to laugh just as hard." Akari said sulkingly. 

The two girls walked to school and went to class. A normal day like any other.

"My days were easy during that time. It was the day that I had been at a match for my kendo club that everything changed." Alicia went on to explain to Blake her day to day life before that. How she grew up when she was younger, the things she did, and even some of her most embarrassing moments. 

By the time Alicia finished with her stories, the night sky was already dark and Catherine came to get them for dinner. When they went downstairs they were met with Blanche and another young man they had never seen before. "This is?"

"This is the man Blanche has been spending all her time with the past few years we have been here. His name is Kenji Ryo." Catherine answered. Alicia looked at the young man who was looking around nervously because not only was King Augustus staring at him but so were her brothers Nicholai and Philip. 

When Ryo saw Alicia, his eyes went wide and his face became pale. Alicia gave a faint smile as she said: "So you have been paying attention to what is being circulated. Good, this makes things easier." With a wave of her hand, everyone in the room was sent into her space. Ryo fell on his butt when his surroundings suddenly changed. 

Blanche looked at Alicia feeling a bit scared of what Ryo would say after seeing his reaction. Alicia let out a sigh and said: "Blanche, it is not good to keep things like this hidden. If you truly wish to be with him, it is best to tell him about yourself." 

Blanche became flustered and lowered her head. She knew Alicia was right. She looked at Ryo who was still on the ground trying to comprehend what was going on. "Ryo… I am not from this world… I come from a different world. It's a world where magic and mystical beings live." Blanche waved her hand causing a ball of fire to appear within it. "As you can see, I can cast magic and so can everyone else in my family. And what's more, not long ago, thanks to my younger sister Alicia, we have all gained immortality by exchanging our bodies with that of cybernetic ones."

Blanch slowly took her arm off causing Ryo's eyes to open wide even more than they were. He watched her calmly put it back on as if it was nothing. Tears began to form in Blanche's eyes as she said: "I will understand if you wish to break things off with me now. I know something like this is hard to accept and I will not blame you if you wish to leave me. But just know that I love you no matter what you decide." 

Alicia and everyone there felt their hearts hurt seeing Blanche cry like this. Alicia wished to run up and hug Blanche but she knew this was not the time. But Alicia also saw a glimmer of hope for Blanche when she saw how Ryo's eyes softened. He finally stood up and dusted himself off. He took Blanche's hand and asked: "You kept this inside in fear of losing me, right?"

Blanche nodded her head as tears streamed down her cheeks. Ryo gently wiped them away and pulled her into a hug. "Blanche I fell in love with you. It does not matter if you are from this world or not. If you are afraid I will reject you because your body is a machine then I just have to have my body become the same. I will do all I can to make you happy no matter what it is. I am willing to leave everything behind just to be with you. Yes, I was shocked hearing all this and suddenly being transported to another place but this does not change the fact that I have been in love with you ever since we first met. " 

Like a damn breaking the tears from Blanche's eyes flooded down her cheeks as she hugged Ryo tightly. Alicia walked over to King Augustus and elbowed him in the ribs. "No complaints right?"

"Humph! He passes. If he is willing to do as he says then so be it, he can and Blanche can marry." King Augustus said with a snort. But his words did not match up to the warm smile he had on his face as he gazed at his eldest daughter. 

Alicia felt very relieved that things worked out. She was happy her sister had found happiness. She turned to Catherine who had a look of longing on her face and smiled. She walked over to Catherine and hugged her. "Big Sister Catherine, you will be next to find love. I am sure one day a man will come in and sweep you off your feet and make you fall madly in love with him. Then I will have plenty of nieces and nephews to dote on afterward."

Catherine blushed and shyly said: "Don't tease me!"
