King Augustus burst out laughing only for his laugh to get caught in his throat when she saw Alicia"s face turning red in anger. "Royal Father you idiot!" Stomping her feet in anger, she brought her foot back and kicked King Augustus in his s.h.i.+n! Alicia without a word sent Loeri back into her s.p.a.ce before teleporting back to the elven king"s office. Alicia wondered just how stupid her Royal Father was! What if the old elf actually figured it out! Her father couldn"t beat him because the old elf was more powerful than him! The only reason she won was because she had opened up some of her celestial powers allowing her to be hundreds of times stronger than him!
Back in the small room, King Augustus was rubbing his sore s.h.i.+n. "Did I do something wrong?" He truly did not know what set Alicia off. "Did she really need to kick so hard I think the bone is fractured!" Casting a quick healing spell King Augustus disappeared from the room.
Inside the elven king"s office, Alicia stood waiting. She already knew that King Augustus would follow after her, so her wait was not too long. "Alicia, listen, I do not know what I did but I am sorry!"
"Forget it, just deal with the annexation over Mytheth Lenora. We still have to go to the Blackstone Empire and annex them as well." Alicia was not in the mood anymore, she was so sad seeing her father in such a state only for him to actually leave the hand sign that unseals him in plain sight!
"Annex? Hoho?" King Augustus looked over at the elven king with a big smile on his face. Only to open his eyes wide when he saw the black and blue elven king. "Seems my daughter has been busy."
"Royal Father, Blake and I will head to the Blackstone Empire now and make them surrender as well. You handle the things here. When you"re done, head over the Empire. I should have the Emperor and Empress in my hands by then. Blake will contact you so you can get a clear image of the location you want to translocate to. "
"Alright, I will handle things here then and Alicia..." King Augustus picked Alicia up and hugged her tightly. "Thank you, for coming."
Alicia"s eyes welled up with tears. She wrapped her arms around King Augustus"s neck and buried her face into his shoulder as she cried. It was hard! It had been very hard on her. Always worrying about what would happen next. Although things were turning out okay she was always worrying about the what if situation. She felt the weight of the millions of lives that had been lost and that depended on her. Although her soul was older than her body. She was only fifteen when she died and transmigrated. She had never had to deal with shouldering an entire country on her shoulders.
King Augustus held his daughter in his arms rubbing her back as she cried. "It has been hard on you. But Alicia, you did a good job. You saved Alastine. As a king and as a father I am very, very proud of you."
King Augustus turned his head towards Blake and smiled warmly at him. "It"s good to know that in the future, Alicia has such a reliable man at her side. Though when I say in the future I mean a few hundred years. Since I won"t hand my daughter over until then!"
King Augustus"s words made Alicia snort in laughter. She lifted her head with a smile on her face and kissed King Augustus"s cheek. "Royal Father… No, Dad, thank you for taking me in and caring for me even though I am not your own flesh and blood."
Hearing the word dad caused King Augustus to smile like an idiot. He really liked that word. None of his other kids ever called him that. "The day I decided to make you my daughter was the day you became my daughter through and through. Blood means nothing when it comes to family. But Alicia can you call me that again?"
"Call you what?" Alicia asked with a grin on her face.
"Just call me dad one more time!" King Augustus asked in a pleading tone.
Alicia looked at that pleading face and let out a laugh. "Dad!"
King Augustus made Alicia say it a few more times before finally putting her down. "I will handle the formal matters here. Once you have the Empire under your control send me a message through the bronze mirror."
"Then we will see you soon. " With her goodbye, Blake and her disappeared from the room.
"Now that she is gone, Rhys Cardi, the Elven King, or should I say the king of The Beast Kingdom, the Beastmen King Margix or at least the one who controls his body. You know your illusion spell can not fool me." King Augustus"s whole body suddenly changed from the handsome middle aged man to a man in his twenties, he had long golden hair and deep black eyes.
"Humph! I knew I couldn"t hide it from you. You called Vulre old but how old are you really, Naito s.h.i.+geru?"
"So you are a soul from back then. All those millions of years ago. At that time I never thought that my soul would travel back in time, never mind to another world." King Augustus gave a lofty smirk as he sat down on top of the desk.
"Not only that, your soul even took over one of the celestial bodies that had died at the time. If not for that my race would have won the war back then."
"It"s too bad that you decided to show yourself again. Lich G.o.d of Death Nec"zer."
