Alicia struggled as much as she could to free her hand but with her current strength in her current body, it was a hopeless cause. Her other hand started to inch towards the sword on her hip and only when Chris saw this movement did he let go of her hand. But as soon as his hand let go he felt a shock run through his whole body almost making him fall over as he stumbled his steps.

Alicia paid Chris no mind and walked right past him, following after Greg. The entire interior of the inn was made out of blue stone with white swirls throughout it giving it an icy look to it. There was not much to the downstairs. There were four pillars in two columns that were s.p.a.ced out enough to have to and fro traffic from the main door. Next to the receptionist desk was a set of stairs that led up to the second floor. But what caught Alicia"s eye the most about this place was the two hanging plants at the ends of the receptionist"s desk. 

At first, Alicia thought they were some kind of ice sculpture but upon closer inspection, she could see that the plant was actually real. It was like crystal when you first looked at it. Alicia would come to find out later that it was what was called an Ice fern, a plant that was made of ice. It would not melt unless the temperature was over thirty seven degrees celsius. The only thing was that these plants were very rare and were only born from extremely old ice. 

After checking in and led to their rooms Alicia was dragged off by one of Chris"s maids to have her size measured so that new clothes could be bought for her. After that, they prepared her a bath which Alicia gladly climbed into. She needed a chance to relax and calm her nerves. She had a feeling this test would be a lot harder than she had thought. From what she understood their trip was going to take a month. When Alicia learned this she felt that she would fail the test before she even got to enter the capital. But generosity could mean many different things and could be given in many places. It was just that so far she was literally the one receiving Chris"s Generosity instead of giving it. 

Alicia let out a sigh and a frown as she tried to figure her way around the situation at hand. To her, Chris was overly touchy with her. Always trying to hold her hand or sit close to her. If not for the sword she felt that she might have been forced to share the same room as him! "Blake..." Alicia mumbled out loud. Although in the outside world she had seen Blake an hour ago in the Illusion world it had been almost two days. She already missed him.

Blake who was listening to Alicia formed a smile on his face when he heard his name being called by her. Now Blake was not actually watching Alicia at this time. When he noticed that she was about to get changed and take a bath he quickly shut off the visual mode. But even if he did watch it would not matter to him because the body she was in was not his beloved and would not even make him shy away or blush. 


Just as she was getting out of the bath, a maid walked around the screen and laid a new set of clothes out for her before getting a towel ready to help dry Alicia off. "Young Miss, His Highness has said that when you are done changing to go downstairs. He will take you out to eat the special local dishes of this region." 

"Does Chris have to come? I could always order food and then do dishes to pay it off." Alicia did not feel hungry at all knowing that Mr. Touchy Feelly, would be coming.

The maid next to her let out a soft chuckle at Alicia"s words. "You are the first girl I have ever seen near His Highness, that would rather do dishes than to let him treat you to dinner. If it was one of the daughters from the n.o.ble houses they would have already stripped down and jumped into his bed." 

Alicia"s eyes lit up as she said: "Oh! Quickly go get one of those n.o.ble girls this way he will leave me alone."

The maid almost choked on air as she laughed. "Young Miss sure is odd!"

After getting dressed Alicia reluctantly walked downstairs. All eyes turned towards her as she gracefully descended the stairs. After getting cleaned up and having a nice dress on, even with being malnourished, she was still a rare beauty. Her silver hair and silver blue eyes were extremely eye catching. Even Chris was having a hard time keeping his eyes off her. She only needed to fill out a bit and she would be a beauty only seen once every one hundred years.

Even Alicia was surprised at her appearance once she finally went to take a good look at herself. Her hair was so dirty and matted that it looked grey when she first saw it. She also had no idea what her face looked like until she looked into the mirror. What she saw was a beautiful looking young girl staring back at her.
