197 How To Rule A Kingdom Part Two (2/2)
”Yes, your Highness?”
”I will need you to help set up refugee camps preferably at least within the first wall. We have already sent word to the surrounding villages, towns, and cities to evacuate to the capital. Even those who are two weeks ride away. With the pace that the incoming armies are coming, we can expect them here within the month. If they are using magic to speed themselves up and six months if not. But if I am not wrong the settlements between the areas we were able to warn to evacuate and the ones who are too far away, the enemy will take a slower time as they destroy everything in their path.” Alicia explained.
”I will make it happen, your Highness.”
After giving Prime Minister Charles his work, Alicia took out a scroll and cleared her throat. ”I had my brother make this up earlier. On this scroll are the provisions each noble house will need to supply for the time being in order to make sure we have a back stock of food and other necessities.”
After many moans and groans about having to give out support from the nobles, the meeting finally finished. Alicia went back to where her brother, sister, and friends were still resting. She sat down at the edge of Princess Catherine's bed and gently stroked her cheek. Blake stood by her side not saying a word just using his own presence to give Alicia support.
Alicia sat back in her chair and lifted her head to the side and looked at Blake. ”Blake... ” Alicia's cheeks turned red.
”Hmm?”
”D-do you really plan to ki-kiss me every time my powers go out of control?” Alicia shyly asked.
”Kiss? No, I only did that at that time because I didn't have time to prepare what was needed to calm your power. I have a way to calm your power without needing to kiss. Why? Do you prefer that I kiss you instead? Because I do not mind.” Blake looked at Alicia with teasing eyes.
Alicia's whole face turned red as she realized she had misunderstood what Blake's little trick was!
