Phantasia: The Princess Knight - Chapter 428

[Please check out my other two novels, Magical Love: Learn To Love In Another World and Ito Ai: A New Dawn]

“It is truly amazing.” Blake said as he looked around. It was his first time leaving the planet itself and looking down at it.

“Mmm… I have traveled far and wide and visited many planets but still, Phantasia as a planet has a certain charm to it.” Alicia said. The two were hovering over Phantasia taking in the sight of their homeworld from a new perspective.

Alicia couldn’t bring a large group with her as she traveled through space. This was mainly for safety reasons. When she traveled from the cultivation world back to Phantasia she had run into many different things that could endanger the lives of her friends along the way. This was why she decided to move in a small group of three. Alicia, Blake, and Frey. Frey was comfortably situated in the pocket behind Alicia’s chest plate. She was able to poke her head out and see the wonders of space.

“Akari, I think we should let the others experience this for themselves. Even with the dangers, it will still be a good experience for them. I mean what if they have to fight in space? We can take things slow and point out the dangers as we go. You can not protect them forever.” Blake suddenly spoke up. He knew of Alicia’s worries and the dangers that they could run into. But he still felt it was better to allow them to hone their skills as much as possible instead of being led by the hand.

Letting out a sigh, Alicia knew what Blake said was correct. She just did not know what she would do if any of them got seriously hurt or died. “You have a point but…”

“Akari, You can not continue to protect them as you have. During the wars, you did the same. You have to let them grow naturally .” Blake took Alicia’s hand and held it gently.

“Alright fine… But help me keep an eye on them. I do not want them getting hurt.” Alicia finally caved. She waved her hand and Loeri, Starla, Annelia, Rose, and Claire all appeared.

“Oh, ho!? I thought we would not be allowed out until we had reached another planet.” Starla said as she looked around excitedly.

“Before we move on, I must warn you all to not wander around. Space is very dangerous. There are small pockets that can suck you in and whether you die or not is another story. So please be careful.” Alicia said seriously.

“Don’t worry, we will stick close to you!” Starla said hooking her arm with Alicia’s.

Their current location was far from the inner worlds. It would take a year or more in order to reach their destination. Space was vast and many natural wonders could be seen everywhere. Seeing her friends looking around so curiously reminded her of her first time wandering through space.

As the days went by, they had visited many planets. Alicia decided that since they did not get to do things like this very often and since it was along the way, that there was no harm checking out a few planets. This was especially true since the information she got said that the invaders were going planet to planet which meant that they would take a while before getting to Phantasia.

About eight months into their travels very close to the border leading to the inner worlds, Alicia and her group came upon a strange planet. It was far from its sun but it was rich in floral vegetation and water. “Let’s check this place out.” Alicia said, she was very curious as to why the place was the way it was.

The group flew down through the atmosphere of the planet and broke through the cloud bank to find the world below teaming with wildlife. Birds flew through the skies and below on the ground level, running around on the treetops were monkey looking creatures. Even the oceans had aquatic animals of all sizes jumping in and out of the waters.

“This place is strange.” Blake suddenly said.

“Mmm… The weather is warm and stable but there are no signs of any energy sources that I can see. Not to mention how far this planet is out from the sun. It should be a frozen wasteland.” Alicia said as she swept the area with her divine sense. It was only when she started getting closer to the other side of the planet that she suddenly detected something. “Wait, something is there.”

Everyone looked at Alicia waiting for her to continue. “I think there is a highly advanced civilization on this world. But I do not understand what their technology is based on.”

“Since we do not know, let’s check it out.” Starla said excitedly.

“Starla, we can not just walk up into the city and say hey how are you doing? We are considered Aliens on this planet.” Loeri warned.

“I know that! I meant in a covert way.” Starla explained trying to defend her previous statement.

“Mmm, we will wrap ourselves in magic to make us invisible. Remember do not interact with anyone and be careful. Since we do not know what their technology is or how dangerous it is to us, we have to be extra cautious about how we go about things. I do not want your first excursion into space to be a bad one.” Alicia hoped the people of this world would be friendly but only by scouting them out would they be able to get a better understanding of how this world was run. One wrong step with an unknown advanced civilization could spell disaster for them.
