Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 12: Forbidden

Feeling that her Magi Sack was expanding too fast Alicia clenched her teeth and used every ounce of her will to try to slow the speed of her intake of Magicules! But it was still all in vain. She was unable to do anything and the pain she was feeling was becoming unbearable. It was not long before Alicia passed out altogether.

"Alicia!" Berlin became scared as he watched the little girl completely faint in his arms! But what stunned him, even more, was what happened next!

Alicia's body began to glow. Her clothes and hair fluttered as if an invisible breeze was passing by. Her once malnourished body started to fill out as her dark skin started to turn white. Her golden blonde hair started to shimmer, becoming more soft and shiny. Alicia's once knitted brow slowly started to ease up as if a wave of relief swept over her. The glow on her body dimmed down and her breathing became more steady.

Berlin let out a sigh of relief. He had heard of this in some books that he had read before. When someone is undergoing the creation of their Magi Sack sometimes the Magicules will repair anything that is wrong with the person's body. In this case, this seemed to be what had happened to Alicia. From now on he would have to watch over her more carefully until she is used to slowly taking in Magicules. He never thought the girl would learn how to perceive Magicules so quickly. He figured it would take her a month at the earliest! But this girl did it in a little over an hour! This was the only reason he left her by herself. But now he realized that this was a mistake!

What was amazing him the most was that she seemed to have thousands or maybe even millions of Magi Points. This was completely unheard of! Even the Fei who were masters of magic did not have more than ten! Berlin knew he would need to keep this a secret from everyone. He would have to forbid her from taking in Magicules in front of anyone from now on!

"Mhm, yes she will only be allowed to nourish her Magi Sack in an enclosed space made by me. I will have to prepare her a portable one. This way if anyone tried to break into it while she was training I would know right away since the space will be connected to me." Berlin paused for a second as he continued to think. "Yes, this is the way to go. It will take some time but it should be complete within a year... "

It was almost two hours later when Alicia finally woke up. She found herself in an embarrassing position. She was actually curled up in the arms of her Master! Alicia blushed from ear to ear. Not knowing what to do she really wondered if she should say anything. But before she could pretend like she was asleep to escape embarrassment she heard Berlin's voice yell from overhead. "Finally you are awake! Alicia, you scared the hell out of me!"

Alicia was startled and quickly became flustered as she said: " Master Berlin I am sorry! I tried my best to do what you said but I was not able to! I tried everything I could to slow down the Magicules but I was able to do it!"

"It's not your fault Alicia. I didn't mean to yell at you. I was just helpless because I could do nothing to help you at all. From now on, I will stay here with you while you are nourishing your Magi Sack. From what I can tell, your Magi Sack is very big now. There is a major reason for that and I am sure you know why." Berlin looked at Alicia seriously.

"Yes, Master Berlin, I seem to have many of those Magi Points. I do not know exactly how many though." Alicia noticed that the Magicules were being absorbed into her body from every one of her pores!

"That is right. Because of this, you are not allowed to nourish your Magi Sack in front of others do you understand? This is the first rule I will pass down to you now. You are forbidden to do this." Berlin's look was stern as he said this.

Alicia understood right away why this was important. She knew from what Berlin had said before that humans do not have many Magi Points but if she has thousands to millions then it is something that was probably never heard of. Which could cause her a lot of trouble later on. Alicia nodded her head and said: "Master Berlin, no matter what I will never nourish my Magi Sack in front of anyone but you."

"Mmm! Good! I just do not want you to come into any trouble until you are able to fully protect yourself. I will also be preparing a small space that you can enter to nourish your Magi Sack. It will only be accessible by you or me and if someone does try to break in I will know right away." Berlin smiled and rubbed Alicia's head.

"It is good that you are fine. You look healthy as can be now thanks to the Magicules repairing your body and giving you the nourishment that you needed. Why don't we call it a day and start fresh tomorrow?" Berlin asked.

Alicia quickly got up from Berlin's lap and said: "Master Berlin I am fine. I can continue. I am not afraid to work hard! So please let me continue my training!"

The last thing Alicia wanted to do was skip her swordsmanship training. That would be the worst for her because she absolutely loved the sword. In her past life when she was not busy doing her daily routine she would always be in the backyard of her house with her sword in hand. She hardly ever watched tv or surfed the internet. The sword was her life!

Seeing the aggrieved look as if he had just stolen her favorite toy from her caused Berlin to chuckle. "Haha! Alright! Alright! Let's go get some lunch first then we will continue. After lunch, we will go over the virtues of being a knight!"
