Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 35: Bandits Hideout Part One

Alicia's little body quickly moved through the forest making its way towards the bandits' hideout. She would make sure Dena and Rose were able to have a safe trip home and also for the rest of the travelers who traveled the Kingdom's main road. Alicia crept up the cave's entrance where she saw two people standing at the entrance seemingly keeping guard.

"Damn so bored. Why am I always put on guard duty? Everyone else gets to stay inside and enjoy the women we bring back." One of the guards complained.

"Isn't it because your fucked the Vice Leader's wife until she committed suicide? I heard that you almost beat her to death while doing her! She was the Vice Leader's favorite!" The other guard scoffed.

"What favorite!? She was just some village girl who had just turned of age. Did he not go pick another right away from the goods and was even happier than he was with the other girl? Plus the new girl he picked already committed suicide because of him anyways!" The guard complained.

Alicia who was listening to all of this had black lines form on her face as she disappeared from her spot. One thing she would never tolerate was the abuse and use of women as nothing more than tools. No woman should need to go through the traumatizing situation of being used as a breeding horse or an outlet for sexual frustration of some man she had never met. In her mind, these kinds of men were even more horrible than any demonic beasts!

The guards were still going back and forth while one complained and another scoffed at him. "And another thing! What is with Leader and Vice Leader, taking all the young ones for himself and only leaving the already used woman for everyone else. And he wonders why I took that little slut from him! I should go do the same to his next..."

The guard words stopped mid sentence causing the other guard who had been listening to turn his head and look at his comrade but when he did he noticed that his comrade was no longer there! "Hey!? Where did you go!? Do you want to lose your life!?" The guard yelled out.

"He can no longer lose what he has already lost. But you who had yet to lose his life will know what it means to lose one's life!!" Alicia's childish voice rang out behind the panicked guard. The guard did not get to turn around when he felt a stabbing pain in his chest. He looked down and say a sword had pierced right through this heart. He went to scream out but he found blood was already dripping from his throat!

Alicia had killed both men with two strikes, one to the neck to cut off their ability to yell out and then a sword to the heart to make sure they would die. She was following this world's knightly virtues by not showing any mercy to her enemy. If she did this man would go on to do more horrific acts as if it was nothing.

Up in a tree, Black was watching every one of Alicia's moves. He was slightly stunned since he had not understood Berlin all that well when he said that Alicia was almost as good as him when it came to being a knight! He had made sure to stay close but not close enough for Alicia to detect him. The times she had used detection magic he had to use a special tool that Berlin had made to cloak himself from her detection magic. This item requires a steady stream of mana in order to work. This is a huge drain on Blake but now he had to get a little closer since he had to follow her into the bandit hideout. So the chance of being detected now was much higher.

"Alicia we are being followed." Loeri whispered.

"It's fine it seems to be one of Master Berlin's acquaintances. I noticed a while back just as we exited the village. I already had detection magic up and every so often I would sneakily cast it and the same person would get detected. It's fine though at least I know that If anything were to happen I would have some backup if they are here to protect me. If not, it doesn't matter. I do not plan to die any time soon." Alicia had detected Blake a while ago. Blake would not always use the item that hides from detection magic. So every day he would get detected by Alicia and not even know it.

"If you say it's fine then I will not do anything for now. But if they are a risk to your life, I will not hesitate to burn them to death!" Loeri replied.

Alicia nodded her head and continued forward. The further she got into the bandits hideout the more obscene noises she was hearing which caused Alicia to blush. But along with the noises were pleas for help and screams of rejection. Alicia knew these girls were being forced to do such acts against their will. Just knowing this Alicia moved faster than before and started going room to room in the hideout killing each bandit she saw. After a while, the obscene noises died down as well as the cries for help and sounds of struggling. Now the hideout seemed to be filled with quiet sobbing as Alicia pushed her way through. There was not much she could do to save these girls. The deeds were done and the psychological impacts would be grave. She could only handle the situation first then go from there.

Blake who was still following along pulled out a small bronze mirror. "Ah! Blake, long time no see!"

"Willam, enough of the chit chat. I need a transport caravan sent to my location. I am in a bandit's hideout at this time and they have many young girls here who have been traumatized so send a doctor and a nun from the church. They will need as much help as they can get. Quite a few here with dead eyes already." Blake explained.

"Alright on it I will have someone use the teleport pad near you will two wagons be enough?" Will asked.

"Yeah, two will do. I have to go, I have to finish this up."
