134 A Promise Between the Two Part Two

Blake's words, his love, Alicia could feel. She felt very warm inside and blessed at the same time. She never thought the knight that had saved her life when she first came to this world would one day be here standing in front of her saying such words to her. At first, her feelings were nothing more than admiration and respect for the young knight. But slowly as she spent time with Blake her feelings began to change from respect and admiration to that of interest and yearning. She felt happiness, security, like a void inside her was filled when Blake was around. She started finding herself looking for Blake's shadow when she did not see him. If these were not the feelings of love she did not know what was.

A few tears rolled down Alicia's cheek as she finally raised her head and looked at Blake. A smile as warm as the sun spread across her blushed face. "If in the future you find someone else and decide you no longer love me. Let me know. But if you still do love me, just as much as you do now, then when I am ready I will be willing to marry you. To be honest, if I was older than I am now, I would probably jump into your arms and have you whisk me away. But right now I am only ten. We have many years ahead of us and there is no telling what might happen. But I will promise you this. I will not look at another man as I look at you. From this day forward I, Alicia Von Alastine, will belong to Blake Roseland in a promise between us, to marry in the future."

Blake smiled and reached out and cupped Alicia's cheek, causing her whole face to turn red. "Then it is a promise between the two of us."

Loeri who was peeking in on the two from afar had tears rolling down her cheeks as she witnessed the scene between the two. "Alicia if he ever betrays you I will cut off his head. Your noble and awe inspiring dragon will ward off any bitches that try to covet him."

"Aunty Loeri swore! I'm telling Mother." Frey who was sitting on Loeri's shoulder puffed out her cheeks and looked angrily at Loeri.

"Hey listen here you bratty Fairy! This dragon miss is over one hundred years old. I can swear all I want!" Loeri shouted.

"No! Mother said you can not swear! Swearing is bad. One should not use swear words because then you will sound like a bandit. Mother said people who swear get no food! Wait until I tell Mother, you won't get any food tonight!" Frey stood up and put one hand on her hip while the other hand was pointing and shaking up and down at Loeri.

"Wait! Look Frey… Honey… Dear! Aunty was just excited just now. There is no reason to tell your mother. Aunty is sorry for yelling at you!" Loeri suddenly started to panic when the words no food were said. Eating and sleeping were her favorite things to do. Taking one away was like destroying the other! She wouldn't be able to sleep if her stomach was not full!

"Ahem…." The sound of someone clearing their throat came from behind the duo.

Loeri turned her head and looked at Alicia who was standing there with her arms crossed across her chest while tapping her foot on the ground. The look she had on her face said it all. "No dinner!"

"Wait Alicia nooo!!!!" Loeri's eyes were filled with despair. As she dropped to her knees and latched onto Alicia's legs. "Alicia I know I am in the wrong please don't take my dinner away!"

"Who told you to eavesdrop on someone's private conversation!" Alicia yelled her face completely red. She could not believe Loeri was actually eavesdropping on her and Blake's conversation!

"Alicia it's not what you think! I was… I was… I was ch-cheering for you! Yeah! That's it! I was cheering for you hoping everything would work out!" Loeri quickly tried to find an excuse.

"Humph!" Alicia shook Loeri off, turned, and walked away. Loeri quickly chased after her and behind her flapping her wings to keep up was Frey.

Blake watched the whole scene with a smile on his face. He was in a very good mood. Now that the two had promised to marry in the future. Other than the promise their relationship stayed the same. But this was also a good thing. It meant the could nurture their feelings for each other slowly over time.

In a dark dingy cave, Dolnar was kneeled on the floor with his head lowered. "You damn idiot you almost ruined the plan! If I did not have you dragged back here for punishment you probably would have never returned! I told you from the start not to involve the humans until the time was right. But you couldn't hold yourself back!? You are lucky they did not find anything that could cause trouble for our plan. We only need to wait ten more years! Ten years and we can once again reveal ourselves to the world and claim it for our own. "

"Your Highness that was not my intention! If it was not for that girl and the god who protected her..." Dolnar did his best to plead his case but the person in front of him was turning a deaf ear.

"Take him away, he is to spend the next six years in the dungeon to cool himself off."
