329 Return To Phantasia Part Two

King Augustus rushed out of the castle and into the air to see Alicia flying down towards him. "Alicia!"

"Royal Father!" Alicia exclaimed as she dived into King Augustus's open arms. She hugged him tightly, taking in his familiar scent. For Alicia, she had not seen him in seven long years. "I have missed you..."

King Augustus smiled warmly as he held his daughter in his arms. He knew that even though only a few weeks passed here for her it had been a long, long time. "Come let's go in. I am sure you are tired after such a long journey."

"Un! It has been very long for me. How many days have passed here?" Alicia asked. She hoped not too much time had passed. But seeing how she did not grow any old as far as she could tell, not too many days had gone by. 

"It has been about three weeks. Come on let's go in that boy will finally be able to rest at ease." King Augustus was talking about Blake who had refused to leave the castle until word came about Alicia's safety. 

Wandering through the familiar halls Alicia never felt so at home in her life. Although she did not stay at the castle much and normally stayed at her estate in the city she was still very much at home in this place. The white walls and marble pillars. The blue magical flames that adorned the walls lighting up the area. All of it brought back memories that she cherished so much. 

As Alicia entered the main hall, she saw a very familiar handsome face looking back at her. Alicia's cheeks turned a tinge pink as she looked at the handsome young man. "Blake..." 

"It may not have been a long time for me but for you, it has been years. All I can say is that these past few weeks I have missed you." Blake said softly as he pulled Alicia into his embrace. 

Alicia blushed but embraced Blake as well. But this loving moment between the two did not last long when King Augustus came over and pulled them apart. "Alright enough! No one wants to see the two of you being all lovey dovey!"

"Royal Father are you jealous by chance?" Alicia asked as she laughed. King Augustus crossed his arms across his chest and humphed. 

"Come on less standing around you should be sitting and sipping tea by now. " 

After being ushered into a side room where a few maids were waiting with tea and pastries Alicia finally felt completely relaxed. She waved her hand and allowed Loeri and Frey out of her space. "Mother! Grandfather! Father!"

Frey was ping ponging back and forth hugging and kissing everyone. Loeri sat on the couch and began drinking tea. She cared not for who was around as long as Alicia was happy. King Agustus of course asked Alicia about her journey which Alicia retold her tale from start to finish. She did not go into the finer detail of things but she did summarize all the key points.

"It is the sign of me being a demi god but I also have these." Alicia stood up and a golden shine appeared on her back as a pair of golden wings appeared. With the white dress she was now wearing she looked just like an angel. 

"This suits you well." King Augustus said with a smile. 

"It matches you very well. Hopefully, you do not lose either the wings or halo." Blake replied. He honestly felt that the wings and halo matched Alicia as a person, someone who cared about those around her and did everything she could for those in need. It gave off a holy feeling when looking at her in this form.

"I like it as well. I think it looks cute." It reminded Alicia of angel cosplay from back on Earth. She also thought it fit her as well. 

Alicia spent the day keeping King Augustus and Blake company. She was planning to let the cultivators out once King Agustus found a place for them. For now, they were perfectly fine in her space. When King Agustus heard that she was able to bring planets and even a sun with her he was very surprised. He did not expect that the space he gave her all those years ago would evolve in such a way. He was truly amazed at everything she had brought from other worlds. But he was also grateful. This would allow Alastine to flourish even more and be a peaceful kingdom that no one would want to try to mess with. Even the devils would need to think twice before attacking Alastine. He knew that it was only a matter of time before the Dolnar and the one controlling him made their move. He just hoped that they would be ready in time.

"Royal Father what are you thinking about?" Alicia could tell King Augustus was lost in thought.

"I was just thinking about how things will look in the future. I still worry about the demons and devils. I have no idea when they plan to attack or who they will attack first." King Agustus replied.

"I wouldn't worry about it too much right now. All the lands under the Alastine flag will never fall. Unless they have one of the great ancient powers behind them there is no way I will let anything happen to our kingdom."
