Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 478: Coronation Ceremony Part One

Alicia still stayed wary of the woman in front of her not relaxing her battle stance at all. "Then tell me why you are here."

"I only wished to help you find the others. You see, I never agreed to the attack on your home world. I was completely against it because I feel it would be better to see what would happen if you were to overcome all odds and along with your comrades broke the bounds of the universes, allowing us to move into a new era. I am also not the only one. There are a few more of us who wish to let things follow their course. So please relax your stance and hear me out. I truly mean you no harm. " The woman in red robes hurriedly explained.

Alicia looked at the woman for a long time before finally lowering her sword. "Tell me what you came here for then."

"First let me give this to you. It will help your parents recover faster. You can have your people inspect it. If you wish. But it is a godly medicine that even those higher above would have a hard time getting their hands on it. I went through a lot of trouble acquiring that." The woman in red robes handed Alicia two porcelain bottles. 

Alicia took them and did not even look at them before storing them away. She would have Tereax and the rest check it later. "What else?"

"My name is Yin Li, I came here to help you meet up with those who you seek." Yin Li wanted to help Alicia in two ways. First a show of good faith in helping her heal her parents. This was mainly out of guilt because it was within her powers to stop the attack on Alicia's planet but she did not stop them. Second, was to lead Alicia in the right direction to where she could meet with the others. She wished for the old fogies to roll over and die once these three girls got together.

Alicia thought for a moment trying to decide whether or not she should believe this woman or not. "How do I know you are telling the truth?" 

"I figured you would ask, here look." Yin Li waved her hand and an image of two girls fighting appeared in front of Alicia. Alicia looked at the screen and her eyes widened in surprise. Out of the two girls fighting one of them she recognized, although she looked much older, she still looked just like the girl from her dreams. 

"Chun'er..." Alicia couldn't help but mutter softly. She looked at the other girl who she did not recognize but for some reason, she felt like she had some kind of connection with her. Alicia stared at the image in front of her not looking away. Yin Li was patient and did not mind waiting for Alicia to finish watching the scene in front of her. She crossed her legs and floated there letting Alicia watch as she pleased.

Alicia could tell the battle between the two was not serious but a fun spar. The smile on the two girls' faces never faded as their swords clashed. Alicia felt a sense of jealousy that she couldn't explain. She wished she was there with the two, playing together happily. Alicia ended up in a sitting position as she watched the scene in front of her. Days passed and finally, the two girls stopped fighting. She watched as they sat back to back and a feeling of longing came over Alicia. Tears began to stream down her cheeks which surprised her since she had no idea why she was crying.

"Are you ready to believe me now?" Yin Li asked. She even held out a handkerchief to Alicia to wipe her eyes.

Alicia did not take it though. She looked at Yin Li and finally nodded her head. "If I can meet them then I am willing to trust you this once." 

"Then if you would. I will guide you. Although, I must tell you that it will be some time before we reach there. This location is tens of years away from where they are located." Yin Li explained.

"That's fine, I had planned to wander aimlessly, to begin with, so with your help, it would make things easier for me. But if I find out you are lying to me I will kill you." Alicia stated firmly. She was not going to play around. This woman was one of her enemies even if she was trying to make herself look like a good guy.

"I understand do not worry, I have come prepared as well." Yin Li took out something that Alicia was very familiar with. It was a contract. The same kind she had used many times. "Please read this and I will sign it along with you."

Alicia read the contract which roughly stated that if Yin Li lied or betrayed Alicia from this point on she would have her soul ripped from her body and burned in ghoul fire destroying any chance for her to ever reincarnate ever again. Alicia was surprised at how brutal the contract was and more so when Yin Li did not hesitate to drip her blood on it, signing it. Alicia also did the same. "With this, I now understand you mean no harm. I will bring you with me for the moment since I have a few things I need to finish inside my space."

"As you wish. But please have that medicine I gave you analyzed right away. It does have a short life span before it will become less effective."
