Phantasia: The Princess Knight

A Hero Saves Beauty

"Loeri, protect Frey, we're going in." Alicia quickly placed Frey on top of her head which in turn, Frey quickly climbed down Loeri. This was something they had trained many times in case they were in a dangerous situation.

After Frey was safe, Alicia stormed in without a word. His movements were silent as he used wind magic to increase his speed. The bandit who was taking off the clothes of the young girl suddenly felt a pain on the side of her head as she fell to the ground. Blood flowed out from the puncture wound that appeared on his right temple.

The young girl on the ground stared in shock trying to figure out what had just happened. Even the man holding the youngest girl stood in shock so he forgot to hold tightly to the girl in his hand and he struggled to break free and ran towards his sister. Before the man could react, he felt something warm dripping down his neck. He raised his hand to his neck and felt a warm liquid flowing out of it. He looked at her hand only then he realized she was bleeding. He immediately felt faint as he too fell to the ground without saying a word.

Alicia appeared just like that in front of the two girls who were crying and smiling at them: "Hurry back to the carriage, I will clear things up here. Everything's gonna be okay now"

The little girl's voice surprised them. He looked no more than nine or ten years old. Her golden blonde hair fluttered in the wind. His blue eyes are as warm as the summer breeze. The beautiful little girl yet she had killed two bandits as if it was nothing. But before they could say anything, the little girl disappeared from their site. Taking the little girl's advice, the little sister quickly helped her older sister as the two of them returned to the carriage and closed the door.

Alicia saw that they were now safe so she went to help the guards who were still doing their best to survive. There were only three guards left and they were already filled with many sword wounds. Only three of the twenty-five bandits died. Seeing this, Alicia charged forward with a drawn sword. This number of bandits was nothing to Alicia after fighting thousands of prisoners at once with just Loeri and him.

Alicia danced among a group of bandits as she cut off the neck, piercing some in the heart, while others instantly lost their minds. One of the bandits shouted: "What the hell is this!?" The remaining bandits saw their comrades die one after another mysteriously. To them, Alicia was practically invisible because of how fast she was. But seeing their comrades still continuing to die caused the remaining six bandits to fear making them turn around and flee.

Alicia sees them running away causing her to pull out "Humph!" before quickly chasing them. One by one they die as Alicia reaps their lives. When he finished he flicked the blood from his sword and sheathed it. He walked over to the three remaining guards and asked: "How are you?"

"My name is Alicia and Rick, I just did what was right. As someone who aspires to become a Knight, if I do not uphold the virtues of knights and ignore your suffering, I will tarnish the reputation of all knights in the kingdom. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go see miss your young." Alicia replied with a bright smile on her face. It would be best if he did not have blood spots on it.

Three guards followed behind Alicia as she walked onto the carriage. Alicia grabbed the carriage door but stopped her hand as she turned around and said: "Please turn around for a while." Hearing this, Rick understood that it was not good to look inside the carriage so he and the other two guards immediately turned around.

It was then that Alicia opened the carriage door and walked in, closing the door behind her. The two girls inside were still curled up in the corner while shivering in fear. The fifteen-year-old girl's clothes were half torn and there were some knife wounds on her white skin. Alicia was surprised because the girl was so beautiful. She has long platinum hair and fine features. Only now did the term 'A Hero Saving Beauty' appear in his head.

Alicia then thought: 'That girl won't fall in love with me now right?' But he quickly put those thoughts out of his head because he remembered that he was not even ten years old yet. Other than being a woman, it was impossible for that to happen.

The two girls looked at the little girl who was smiling at them stunned but at the same time they both let out a long sigh as if they had been holding her back for centuries. Alicia smiled and said: "I'm glad I came on time. My name is Alicia. Let me see your wounds and also do you bring another set of clothes?"

"ah! Yep! Um... My name is Rose Harper and this is my sister Dena... Thank you for saving us! I'll get a new shirt out soon." said Rose. He seems a bit confused. Alicia looked at Dena who had not spoken. Dena looked at Alicia and suddenly cried. Alicia was really shocking!
