Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 492: Catherine's Search For Love Part Two

"Cath I I never thought you would be interested in women before. To be honest I have always liked you. At the start, I was just working this job because I was hired. But as I spent time with you and became close friends with you. I realized that I no longer even looked at men any more and spent all my time worrying about you. My life began to revolve around you. My work time, my off time, any time I could devote to you I was willingly happy to give up. I am not saying this because you are a princess of this kingdom. No, that never crossed my mind once, otherwise, I would never be so familiar by calling you Cath.

"Over these past ten years, my feelings for you kept growing stronger and stronger. To the point that it went from just liking you to wholeheartedly loving you. I am not sure if what I am saying will freak you out, but this is how I truly feel." Perlencia laid out her heart for me to see. And I saw it.

Every last bit of her feelings filled me with warmth. I pulled her by the arm, pulling her to sit into my lap. She was confused at first but when she realized what I was doing she did not resist and sat in my lap with a smile on her face that still had tears streaming down it. I hugged her tight and began to cry. Perlencia was someone I felt the most calm around. She filled me with warmth on days that I just wanted to give up. In all my almost fifty years of my life, she was the only one who made me feel this way. Now with her telling me everything like this, I can't help but want to hug and kiss her. Did this make me strange? Was I some kind of weirdo? These questions popped into my mind but when I looked deep into her eyes, those same eyes that were looking deep into mine. I knew for sure her words were of love, that those words were her expressing her love towards me and all my questions flew out the window.

"Perl..." I leaned in and kissed her trembling lips. Ahhh! My first kiss, my first kiss was with Perlencia, someone I had wished to hold so many times. When our kiss broke, Perlencia adjusted her sitting position that her legs were now on each side of mine. We were now, face to face, chest to chest. "Cath..."

She leaned in and stole my lips, our lips parted and our tongues touched. It sent chills up my spine but I loved every second of it. We continued to kiss, and I interlocked my fingers with hers. We basically had twenty years between when it came to age but nowadays with our immortality, time and age seemed less and less of a problem. Well, to an extent. 

After our kiss broke we both just gazed at each other not saying a word. Our foreheads pressed against each other and our noses less than a centimeter apart. I couldn't help but grin widely. I was so happy I couldn't resist the urge to show it. My smile made Perlencia smile as well. Then suddenly the room was filled with our giggles. "Perl, you have no idea how happy I am right now."

"Mmm Me as well, the girl I had been watching all this time and dreamt about and even Ahem The one I wanted to be with, was always you. If I had known earlier that you were willing to date a woman, I would have asked you out a long time ago." Perlencia pouted which made her look very cute. Ahh! Perlencia was definitely too cute right now! 

"I was afraid to say anything because I did not want to scare you away. I mean we are very close as it is, we even took baths together. I figured if I said something we would lose what relationship we had if you were not like me..." I now wished I had said something sooner! 

"None of that matters now! Cath, as of today, whether you like it or not, I am your woman and always will be!" Perlencia firmly stated and kissed my lips. Yep she was still the same old Perlencia, but now she was exclusively my Perlencia!

A week later

Japan, Alaica's old house...

"Why are we meeting here again?" Everyone in the Alastine family. Alicia, Catherine, Blanche, Blake, Nicholai, Philip, and King Augustus were all in attendance. There was also one more person here as well. Perlencia. 

Catherine stood hand in hand with Perlencia firmly gripping it. Both of their hands were damp from nervousness. King Augustus sat in his chair and looked at the two girls with his arms crossed across his chest. "So let me get this straight, the two of you are dating? And now you wish to get married?"

"Father, it is not me asking but me telling you that I will be marrying Perlencia. I just came here to announce this fact." Catherine was firm in her resolve, she wanted to be with Perlencia no matter what, even if it meant renouncing her family name. 

"You! How did I raise you!? I will not al" King Augustus started to huff but stopped when Alicia raised her hand. 

"Dad, you can't. As Queen of Alastine, I allow it. If my sister has finally found the one she loves and this is what will bring her happiness then I will allow it! Big Sister Catherine, Perlencia, I wish you both happiness. " Alicia said with a smile before walking forward and hugging both of them.

"Yay! Catherine!" Blanche ran forward with tears in her eyes. She had always been worried about her little sister not finding true love. To her, she did not care if it was a man or woman as long as Catherine was happy.

"It seems all our sisters are now going to get married, Philip, I think it is time for us to find our special someones as well." Nicholai said, slapping Philip's back. Philip blushed slightly and nodded. 

Only King Augustus sat back with a gloomy look before getting up and shouting: "Don't leave me out of the festivities!"
