Phantasia: The Princess Knight
Loeri Part One
Alicia continued after her "sparring match" with the water bear, she felt more confident now as she walked deeper into the forest. Never in his two lives had he ever thought he would fight a demonic beast and cast magic while using a sword. It's all too good to be real but it's really all real. He has to deal with some new experiences as soon as he comes to this world from the need to prevent starvation, having to kill two men in order for him not to be sold, and narrowly escaped death when he was attacked by a magma lion. . But after meeting Blake and then Berlin, her life has a new meaning and she has a new path to follow. A path that will lead him to his dream of becoming a knight.
"A knight! I can't wait!" Alicia shouted her mind loudly causing the Berlin that was behind her to be shocked.
He had followed her from behind for a while and seen how she dealt with the demonic beasts. Surprisingly he hasn't killed a single one. He just "argued" with them. Berlin could see expressions of anger and disdain in their eyes as the little girl walked around them. Berlin did not complain about him not killing this demonic beast. Especially since they were a deterrent that stopped other kingdoms from attacking each other. So there is no point in killing in vain in this forest. There were many other forests that had many demonic beasts that one could enter to obtain resources and bring them back to the adventurer guild in exchange for cor. It was even a law that adventurers could not enter this forest unless they were assigned by the crown to do so.
Alicia slowed down her steps as she arrived at a small pond decorated with many pink and white lotuses and lotuses. There are many naturally parallel flat rocks that look like steps on one part of the beach covered in green moss. In other parts of the beach, different types of tall grass can be seen. Emerging from the glowing bluish surface of the water are small balls of light that float up the tree canopy above.
The scenery in front of her was breathtaking to Alicia, she had never seen such a beautiful pond in nature before. Even Berlin that was a bit far away was surprised to see the naturally formed pond so beautiful. She watched as Alicia walked towards the beach but when she was only a few meters away from the shoreline, she disappeared from her sight! Surprised, Berlin quickly ran forward to find that there was a strange magic barrier here! It was not made by humans, demihumans or demonic beasts!
While Berlin was in a state of panic as he could not see Alicia anymore due to the barrier, Alicia walked to the waterfront and crouched down. He looked at the bluish light from the pool and smiled. "As in a fantasy novel. I didn't think I could actually see such a place with my own eyes."
"Who's there!? How did you enter my territory!?" The voice of a young girl shouted from near the location where Alicia was.
Alicia was shocked to hear the voice and looked around but could not seem to find where the sound was coming from. "Hello? Shouldn't I be here? I just came to enjoy the view of the pool..."
A rustling sound rang out in the nearby grass that caught Alicia's attention. "Leave this place before I force you out!" Those words should have sounded threatening but when spoken with such a young lady voice, it sounded more like a little girl pouting while she angrily stomped her feet.
Alicia swept the area with a hint of detection magic to find the small life forms not too far away in the tall grass. He could not detect what it was but it was as small as a cat from Earth. What surprised Alicia was that this life form could speak! Alicia picked up the stone and threw it at the living creatures in the tall grass.
"Ouch! Uhh!" A small ball slid off the tall grass and hit Alicia's feet.
"Who do you call a baby!?" The little white dragon staggered to his feet and stood with his hind legs while pointing towards Alicia with one of her little claws.
"You're so small and cute, how could you not be a baby?" Alicia replied as she reached out to caress the white little dragon. Unfortunately, his hand was slapped.
"Don't touch me! I may be small and very cute but that doesn't mean you can touch me as you please..." The words of the cute little dragon baby fell on deaf ears when Alicia reached out and took it and hugged him. “Hei! Oi! Lower me. I am a noble dragon of the most feared and noble dragon race! How dare you lift me up and treat me like a human! A little to the left.. Yeah, that's right.. Wait is not what I mean!”.
Alicia got lost in stroking the baby dragon and completely ignored his protests. After a while of struggling and realizing that it would not be able to escape the clutches of the little girl who was hugging him, the little dragon gave up and enjoyed its caress.
"Are you a boy or a girl?" Alicia asked and went to raise her tail only to get her hand slapped again!
"Of course I'm a girl, how do you not know!" The little dragon shouted furiously. She seemed to have completely forgotten that she was still in Alicia's arms as she wrapped her tail around her body and curled up on Alicia's chest.
"Do you have a name?" Alicia asked as she continued to caress the little dragon.
“No... I got lost and ended up in this place. I put up a barrier to prevent others from coming out and I'm not sure how you got past it. But I've been here for a long time now…” Little dragon mood seems to have dimmed. Alicia could feel lonely at the little dragon.
"Then what about Loeri as your name?"
