Chapter 162: Frost Flower Part Five

After almost dying from holding back her screams of embarrassment, Alicia's hands were finally healed. It had been a long and tiring day, not only for her but for everyone else as well. "Do you want to rest?" 

"No, let them rest. I will go secure a Frost Flower. This area is too dangerous for them. If there are more disaster ranked demonic beasts around it could end up in someone's death. So I am making the split decision to continue alone since I can move quicker and easier if I am by myself." Alicia did her best to push her embarrassment down as she answered Blake's question. Alicia originally wanted to use this experience as a good way to allow Rose and the others to gain some solid experience. But things do not always go as planned when the experience she wanted them to get ended up being too high of a level for them and the person to blame for this was sitting all nice and warm and cozy behind his desk. "Blake, bring out that mirror I have something to say to Royal Father."

Blake suddenly felt a chill run down his spine as he took out the mirror. He poured a bit of magic into it causing it to glow and faced it towards Alicia. King Augustus was sitting in his office when his mirror glowed on his desk causing him to quickly answer it. "Ah, Blake what is the prob" King Augustus paused his words when what he saw was not Blake but a young girl with her arms crossed across her chest with a very angry expression on her face as she tapped the ground with her foot. "Alicia, what seems to be..."

"Royal Father! What did I say about checking the level of difficulty of the mission you give me!? It would be different if it was just me alone but there are many people here who are unable to even scratch a disaster class ranked demonic beasts! Yet, you still sent us out here, knowing such a thing existed!" Alicia yelled her angry eyes piercing into King Augustus's heart.

"Alicia it's not like that I was just..." King Augustus went to defend himself only to be cut off once again.

"I do not want to hear excuses! I was knocked away and sent flying hundreds of kilometers away. If Blake did not think fast and send everyone into my space they would have died! Not to mention I almost lost my hands in the process of defeating the thing. Yes, I could have used another spell but I had to make sure to get rid of it quickly. The point is if I was not as strong as I am I could have lost any chance of becoming a knight in the first place! This is supposed to be training for my whole team not just for me! As of now, I will be retrieving the Frost Flower and teleporting back to my house in the capital! Training or not it's pointless if even the training mentors can't even fight against the demonic beast you send at them!" Alicia finished her words and disappeared from where she stood. 

King Augustus was stunned and went silent, he really had no way to defend himself. Only after about a minute of silence did he finally say something. "Blake was I wrong?" 

"Your Majesty, my suggestion is to only give hard training to Alicia outside of groups otherwise you will end up killing your own citizens." Blake bluntly stated.

"I see I guess I have to rethink her training a bit then Tell Alicia it's fine if she returns. I will handle the aftermath and that I am sorry. And Blake Thank you." King Augustus lowered his head apologetically. 

"Your Majesty, I already said I will protect Alicia and everything she cares for above all else. She is my future wife after all. I will let her know what you said." Blake answered back.

"You! You brat!" King Augustus hated the fact that his precious daughter already had a betrothed. 'That's it! She is not getting married until she is five hundred years old!'

While King Augustus was lost in his own little world, Alicia reappeared right outside the frozen ring. She had flown by it earlier when she was hit by the Ice Gorilla. Since she knew its location it was easy for her to teleport herself here. Covering herself in magic to keep her body warm and protect her from the cold, Alicia stepped into the frozen ring. Even with magic keeping her warm, she could still feel the biting cold. Up ahead of her within this frozen ring was a lone flower. Just seeing the single flower caused Alicia to want to curse King Agustus even more. 

Cautiously, Alicia made her way to the Frost Flower. But right as she got near the flower the ground under her began to shake causing Alicia's body to freeze in place. With a loud explosion the area in front of her smashed open and a large demonic beast even bigger than the Ice Gorilla rose up out of the ground. But what really made Alicia want to scream was not the size of this demonic beast but the fact that the Frost Flower was attached to this demonic beast's head! 

"Royal Father, just wait until I get back!" Alicia yelled out at the top of her lungs as she got ready for battle. She had no doubt in her mind that her so called father, had actually known was growing on the head of some large demonic beast!
