Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Alicia nodded and waved her hand bringing both her and Yin Li into her space. Yin Li was taken aback by the majesty of Alastine's capital city. But she did not get to enjoy the sites as she was immediately brought into the floating palace. 

As they entered the palace Alicia asked: "Yin Li, this medicine you gave me, will it harm my parents?"

"No. Like I said, if you wish to have it checked out you can. But you will need to hurry to get its full effect." Yin Li replied.

"No need. I only asked to make sure. You signed a contract stating you are not allowed to lie to me remember?" Alicia said as she gave a smile and led Yin Li to where her parents were. 

On two medical beds inside a room hooked up to life support monitors, laid Tang An and Tang Ming. Alicia walked over to her mother first and uncorked one of the porcelain bottles. The scent of medical herbs filled the room. Waving her hand she used magic to pull the contents out and then slowly moved it into Tang An's mouth and down her throat before releasing it and letting it slide down naturally. She then did the same thing for her father, Tang Ming. "How long will it take?"

"In a few hours, their dantians should be fully healed and should wake up by tomorrow. But these two are truly amazing. They seemed to have had some kind of array formed within their dantians to slowly heal the dantian if it was ever damaged. It seems they were truly prepared for anything." Yin Li couldn't help but praise the two people. She had watched them fight and struggle for years. Although she, herself did not take part in any of this, she still felt slightly guilty for not helping them. Now that she had finally drawn the fine line between herself and the other creators, she no longer cared about any repercussions as long as she could see the new era she would be happy. 

"Let's hope this is true." Alicia knew Yin Li was not lying but she couldn't help but still worry. But when she checked the progress of the healing to see how much of an effect it had, she was surprised that their dantians were healing at a much faster pace than before.

After she had done a full check on her parents she brought Yin Li to a guest room for her to relax. "Please rest here for now. If you need anything just ask the maids. I will be back in a few hours."

"Take your time. To be honest it has been a long time since I had a chance to actually relax. This space of yours is cut off from the watching eyes of those above and will allow me to rest in peace for once." Yin Li let out a yawn and stretched her arms. Being able to relax once and a while was a good thing!

Alicia smiled and gave a few orders to the maids before disappearing from the room. She reappeared at her house in Japan. "Royal Father…"

"Oh! Alicia your back. The ruler of this land had sent a message asking you to stop by once you returned." King Augustus said, he did not get up when Alicia appeared. He was currently sitting in the back yard in a kiddy pool wearing a teddy bear print bathing suit, a pair of heart sunglasses, a wide brim straw hat with a blue band around it, and was sipping a glass of iced tea through a green straw. This sight made Alicia facepalm and question if she should take over Alastine if he was going to act like this.

"I hate to interrupt whatever it is you are doing but I need you to return to the castle and get ready for my coronation." Alicia's words made King Agustus drop the glass in his hand into the pool as he quickly got up dripping wet and ran over to Alicia.

"You mean it!? You really mean it!?" King Augustus asked as she shook Alicia by her shoulders.

"Yes, you will finally be one hundred percent free from any and all things to do with the country from now on." She had already been taking care of everything as it was while the supposed king spent his time relaxing in a pool. 

"Good! Good! This is a day of celebration, the day I earned my freedom! AHAHAHAAHAHA!" King Augustus suddenly shouted out laughing at the top of his lungs.

"Will you shut the fuck up over there you crazed maniac!" A voice suddenly yelled over the fence. Alicia once again facepalmed. 

"Have you been causing problems for the Matsumoto's?" Alicia asked. The family next door had three generations in their house, and the old man was a cranky, mean old man! He hated when people got too loud at this time of day when he was trying to take his nap. 

"Humph! That old man does nothing but complain. All because I used a bit of pressure to shut him one day, he began complaining every time even the slightest bit of noise came out of this backyard." King Augustus acted like he did nothing wrong, but Alicia did not miss the key point in the story. 

"That's it! You are going back!" Alicia didn't even care if King Augustus was dressed or dried off, she waved her hand sending him back to the Palace. "Matsumoto-san I am sore for my father's rudeness. Please forgive him."

"Humph! For little Akari, I will let it slide..."

Alicia froze in place not understanding how the old man next door knew who she was. She could only guess that Japan was still truly a mysterious place.
