Phantasia: The Princess Knight - Chapter 457

“Humph! Yin Li, are you really turning your back on us? We have been in control all this time and now you wish to let the one who would destroy everything to do as they please?” The man in black robes asked. He did not even try to hide the anger in his voice.

“Is your hearing going, old man? You think we are all high and mighty but we are actually just the gatekeepers for those of higher cultivation. We keep out those who may pose a threat to them. You’re so old yet you have not even stepped on the threshold of the Infinite Creator. We are all suppressed here. Yes, we may have the freedom to play gods on the lower worlds but that is nothing compared to the worlds above. In truth what we actually manage is just a small section of this entire universe. The powers that we used just now to match that of a chaotic seerer took all ten of use combined to produce. How else do you think we were able to break her mental state? But you know what. I felt something within that girl. Out of all of you, I am the one with the most talent when it comes to people’s soul seas. That girl is someone I would like to see grow. I will not get in your way as you do things but I will not be helping you either. ” After leaving these words Yin Li walked out of the room leaving the ten old men sitting there dumbfounded.

“Old Qiao, I hate to say it but, Little Yin is right about one thing, we are nothing but gatekeepers. I think I will do the same and see how things play out from now on.” An old man in blue robes that was sitting at the table said before standing up and leaving.

“Humph! At least as a gatekeeper, we are still kings!”

Alicia had no idea any of this was going on, she was busy spending time with her family. Although, she was thinking about what to do from here on out. She also had to retrieve King Augustus and her brothers and sisters from wherever her mother and father sent them.

“What’s on your mind?” Blake who was at her side asked.

“I was just thinking of what to do from now on. This experience that I went through really opened my eyes to many things. One of the biggest things is my weaknesses. Luckily, you came or things could have really the end for me and my parents. If not for you bringing me out of the darkness I would have been consumed turning into something I do not wish to ever be. I had originally wanted to keep Phantasia out in the universe to allow it to leave a mark on this space. But now I have other thoughts. I have decided I will move Phantasia into my space where it can grow in safety from now on. A place where our kids will not have to worry about being attacked by invaders from another world. What do you think? Do you think I am being selfish?” Alicia couldn’t help but want to keep her entire family safe. But at the same time, this was just her selfish wish.

“You are the ruler of the world, who cares if you are a bit selfish? You are not only protecting your family but every other life on Phantasia. I see nothing wrong with this, so be selfish.” Blake said with a smile. He would always support her in whatever she had decided.

While Alicia was trying to figure out her next step, Loeri was currently being surrounded by many ships while hovering over a certain planet. “Unidentified ship, you are currently invading Machine Empire space. Retreat now or we will destroy you.”

Hearing the command of the ships Loeri rolled her eyes and angrily took out a small cube from her pocket. “Hey, Charles what’s your name! Is this how you treat invited guests who have traveled years just to reach your damn planet? Did you not ask Alicia for help? Your help is here but now you wish to destroy us as soon as we showed up?”

“What do you mean?” Charles Folson was very confused. No one had reported anything to him about the arrival of Alicia’s people.

“I mean just what I said. I brought my ship out of the void only to be surrounded by a thousand of yours! Not to mention all their weapons are trained on me.” Loeri yelled.

Charles almost smashed the table in front of him to pieces when he heard this. “Those bastards! Don’t move, I will be right there. If they attack you have my permission to destroy them all!”

“Permission or not I would anyway.” Loeri said in a huff. She had felt a strange fluctuation in her connection with Alicia which had her concerned. She wanted to hurry up and finish this so she could return home and check on Alicia.

On another part of the planet in an office, a middle aged looking man sat behind a desk listening to the report from his subordinate. “So he finally called in reinforcements…”

“Father?” A young girl who had just walked into the room called out.

The middle aged man smiled and got up out of his seat and walked over to the girl. He placed his hand on her head and said: “Lina. It is best if you stayed in the mansion from now on. There will be a great uprising and if you are caught, it will be akin to killing your father.”

“I will do as father says…”
