Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 29: A Simple Wish

Seeing the little girl scamper off Berlin's eyes were warm as he gazed at her retreating back. He waved his hand and a small cabinet filled with many little clothes appeared on top of the desk in Alicia's room. He then turned and walked into the kitchen to start cooking Alicia and the rest some food.

Alicia walked into her room to see a small flash of light shine on her desk. Alicia walked over to the desk where a small little cabinet sat on top of it. Seeing this Alicia smiled brightly. "Frey come open this up. Master Berlin made you a bunch of clothes."

Frey quickly flew down to the desk and excitedly opened the cabinet. Her eyes went big as she saw the dozens or so dresses within. "Mother! Look! Are all these really for Frey!?"

"Un! As my daughter Master Berlin also wanted you to have the best. Mother also wants you to have the best. When She is older and can do these things for you. Mother will then personally make all your clothes for you. For now, Master Berlin made them until I am capable of such magic! Remember to thank Master Berlin later on." Alicia paused for a second then a huge grin appeared on her face. "You can just call him grandpa!"

"Frey will make sure to thank Grandpa! Frey is so happy! Mother, what should I wear first? Frey can not decide!" Frey jumped up and down happily as she clapped her hands.

Both Loeri and Alicia had warm smiles on their faces as they watched Frey bounce around happily. "We will decide what you will wear after we bathe." Alicia patted Frey's head making Frey giggle. Then the three of them went to go take a bath.

About an hour later the three of them came out of Alicia's room. Frey came flying out in a new pink dress that easily accommodated her wings. "Grandpa!!!!!!!!"

Berlin who was drinking some tea spurted it out all over the place when he heard Frey yelling grandpa. Alicia saw this scene and laughed so hard her stomach hurt. Berlin, although startled at first, did not mind the way Frey called him. This was mainly because in a way he was Frey's grandpa now. So after wiping his face Berlin smiled happily and said: "Do you like the dresses?"

Frey flew over to the side of Berlin's face hugged and kissed his cheek and said: "Frey loves it thank you, Grandpa!"

"Good! As long as you like it then Grandpa is happy!" With this, everyone smiled and went to have their meal. After a little bit of chatting Alicia had Loeri bring Frey into the bedroom to lay her down for the night while Alicia stayed to talk to Berlin.

"Master Berlin, when should I leave to head to the capital? From what you told me it should take me almost nine months to get there, correct?" Alicia asked. She wanted to know how much of a break she could get before needing to make her way to the capital to take the squires test. She was almost nine years old now so she only had a little more than a year before she turned ten.

"For now I will have you work on expanding your Magi Sack over the next few months. You will leave at the start of the new year. This will give you about six months to get used to the capital. During those six months, I want you to sign up to the Adventurers Guild. This will give you a better idea of how some things work within the Adventurers Guild since squires need to take up job requests from them at least three times a month. So all though you are a squire you will be partially working for the Adventurers Guild. It gives squires the ability to learn from experience." Berlin explained.

Alicia was surprised to know that the Adventurers Guild had such a close relationship with knights. "So all knights are signed up to the Adventurers Guild?"

"Yes, they are! This is because the Adventurers Guild has a large network around the country. With the help of civilian adventurers, we are able to gather much more intel than if we just went out and searched for it ourselves. In return for this, the Adventurers Guild gets to run tax free. It ends up being a win win for the two sides." Berlin had made sure to have close relationships with the Adventurers Guild. It has enabled them to catch some of the most heinous criminals around Alistine.

"The King of Alistine is a smart man." Alicia had a lot of praise for this king. To use the guild for mutual benefit was not seen much on earth in the manga she has read. The kings always seemed wary of the Adventurers Guild. But here they work in collaboration.

Berlin, hearing Alicia's praise felt very good! "Alright go get some sleep. You still have a busy few months."

Alicia nodded her head, got up, and then gave Berlin a hug before running to her room. Alicia walked into her room, her little mind was turning as she had a simple wish. 'I wish that one day I can call Berlin father. If that day ever came I would be a very happy girl.'

If Berlin knew Alicia's thoughts at this time he would be a very happy man. But alas he was whistling away as she washed the dishes and planned out Alicia's training for the next few months. Although he wanted her to rest, he still wanted her to get some basic training in. "I guess I will have her wear some heavier weights to help build her stamina more. This way she can kill an extra thousand men without being tired We also need to have Loeri enter the training as well. For Frey, she can just continue being cute."
