”Is Profatilia, under our control?” Alicia asked.
”Yes, the citizens you rescued had already begun staging a coup when we showed up. They happily let us into the capital and from there the Profatilia king had no means of fighting back, but it seems your side was just as smooth?”
”Mmm, the person that was behind the scenes was from the death race. Nothing to be too concerned over for now. But this does mean that in the future we will be somewhat iffy. I am not sure if the death race will send a full out attack or not. For now, we resolved this current issue with no problem. The undead are now under my command as well. I will have the people from the planet Farlan take a few undead and see what they can do to advance their bodies.” Alicia explained.
”Princess I will handle that matter, I will contact Sir Tereax once I return. If they are able to build new bodies for the undead that would strengthen our military prowess by many folds.” Charles said without any hint of surprise. He had gotten used to Alicia's way of doing things. She always made the impossible, possible. With her saying she took control over the undead then that just meant more ability for them to survive later on. It seemed the coming days for Phantasia would not be peaceful.
The month passed quickly and Charles Folson, Wendy's father went back home. He did leave a transporter cube to allow Alicia and her people to transport instantly to the Machine Empire once things were ready. Alicia wanted to get the numbers upgraded first before setting off to the Machine Empire.
In a dimly lit office...
”Alicia, you should sleep.” Blake walked into Alicia's office to find her still doing paperwork.
”I just wanted to settle a few things.”Alicia said as she put her pen down.
Blake walked over and draped his arms over Alicia's shoulders. He gently kissed her neck causing Alicia to smile. ”Is someone in the mood?”
”Mmm…. I was thinking of making our second child. What do you say?” Blake said as he continued his intimate actions.
”Do I look like a baby making machine?” Alicia turned her head and kissed Blake's lips.
”Not a machine, but a beautiful woman who is the mother of my children and future children.”
”I do not mind having more children, in fact, I want many. But with things as they are now I am afraid to get pregnant again...” Alicia said with a frown. She was truly nervous about having another child right away even though she wanted one. She did not want to get caught up in another war and be pregnant with a child. If she was needed but too pregnant to help, it could spell doom for her people.
Alicia rested her head on Blake's chest lost in thought. What Blake said was true. She should not let others dictate her actions. She wanted more children and wanted a large family, why should she wait just because danger was looming overhead… Was this the so called responsibility when having great power? You had to throw your own happiness away just in case danger was on the horizon?
”Let's go to the bedroom...” Alicia said with blushing cheeks. Blake said nothing more and lifted her up, carrying her straight out of the office, down the hall, and into their bedroom, before closing and locking the door.
