191 Securing The Capital Part One (1/2)
Alicia stood frozen in place. She did not seem to understand what was being told to her. 'What did he mean by his words.' Many thoughts were running through Alicia's mind. Her body started to tremble as the worst possible scenario came to mind. Her father was dead! Alicia's eyes started to well up with tears and just as the tears were about to fall she found herself in a warm embrace.
”Blake...”
Alicia looked up to see Black staring firmly at Dudley. ”Be mindful of your words and explain the situation.”
Dudley suddenly came back to his senses and realized he did not explain clearly enough. ”Princess do not get me wrong! His majesty is still alive. It's just that in order to stay alive and escape death he has sealed himself before he was captured by the enemy.”
Alicia shook off Blake's embrace, jumped down from the wall, and ran up to Dudley, ”What do you mean he sealed himself? Why would he do that?”
”Princess it's because the enemy was too strong. If it was just the empire it would have been no problem for us to defend but… Mytheth Lenora was assisting them!”
”The Elves!?” Alicia was confused. ”Why would the Elves help in a human war?”
”The Empires Empress is the princess of Mytheth Lenora. One word from her and the Mytheth Lenora army would come to assist. This would not have been so bad but he showed up...”
”Who is this he?” Blake asked.
”The old monster of the elves, a man with twenty Magi Points. No one knows his actual name. We call him the Elven Shadow Reaper.” Dudley showed a helpless expression. He was lucky enough to send a message to the army commanders to teleport everyone out of there. But now the empire along with Mytheth Lenora was marching towards the capital. He knew that in order for Alastine to survive they would need to defend the capital at all cost.
”And this man took my Royal Father, is that what you are saying?” Alicia asked her face full of worry.
”Princess, his Majesty is still alive and will be fine. There is no one in this world who can break his seal without the right configurations of hand signs. As long as he is sealed, no harm can come to him. He said that you were to take charge of Alastine.”
”Then so be it! If Royal Father is still alive that just means once we have secured the capital. We can begin searching for information on Royal Father. Once we know his exact location I will lay waste on those countries who attacked us.” She would show No Mercy!
”Dudley was it? I will send you back to the capital, I will be there soon. But I must first gather my sisters and brothers and return with as many soldiers and knights as we have left.” Alicia decided it was best to just gather everyone at the capital. It would mean she would need to show others her translocation magic but this was not the time to be hiding such magic.
Alicia poked the air in front of her making a crack in space. ”Rose, Loeri, you head back with him. I need you two to help prepare the things needed to create a barrier around the city. Show the shops my crest and tell them it will all be paid off later.”
”Leave it to us, Alicia!” Loeri said before jumping through the crack followed by Rose and Dudley.
”Blake, can you bring me high into the sky so I can get a better view of the land.” Alicia turned to Blake and asked.
