Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 218: Fire Wolves Part One

"Haha! This will teach you to start with the I, the Great Loeri!" Loeri who was standing in front of an old man in an apron whose face was black and blue with a piece of chicken in her mouth. She looked down the alley to see Alex coming her way, she smiled brightly and said: "Oh! Alex, look! I caught someone trying to stea. Ouch!"

Loeri looked up at Alex's face which had a scary expression on it causing Loeri to shrink back a little bit. "Why did you hit me!?"

"What do you think you are doing!? You can not go and steal chicken from a food stall and beat up the owner for trying to get his payment! Why did you even do that!? You have to pay for those chickens!" Alex yelled.

"How was I supposed to know you need to pay for them!? They were just hung up out in the open for anyone to take! This is why I do not understand, you humans! You stick food out in the open but do not expect people to take it! " Loeri argued. To her, doing such things meant it was free. Why else would they stick food out like that?

Alex realized that Loeri who really has not been out in the human world until now and was not up to speed with the way humans and other races did things. Letting out a sigh Alex felt it would be wrong to punish her any more than this. Alex turned his attention to the poor old man who was laying on the ground. "Sir I am very sorry for what happened. I will heal you now. As a way to repay you, I will buy all the food in your stand for triple the price. If you wish for us to go see a guard and have us arrested I am willing to do that as well. "

Alex would not allow anyone to commit a crime even himself this also included those around him. Since Loeri was his contracted beast he would of course take the blame for her actions. This was the only responsible thing to do.

The old man looked up at Alex's handsome face and slightly blushed. Even for an old man like him with a wife, kids, and grandbabies, he couldn't help thinking that Alex was just too handsome. It was like he was crafted by the gods themselves! "Your, fine young man. If you just pay me for the chicken she stole I will let it go. You healed my wounds and even some of the old wounds that I acquired when I was young. We can call it even with that."

"At least let me buy your stock for today. Believe it or not, just one chicken won't suffice for my friend here. So I will buy all you have. It should keep her from stealing more for a while." Alex said with a smile as he helped the old man up.

"Alright, alright." He looked over at Loeri and gave her a smile. "Little girl you should be happy to have such a kind and handsome boyfriend."

Alex's face went black! She was a girl! And Loeri was her sister! Her contracted dragon at that! Loeri on the other hand looked on with pride. She had no idea what a boyfriend was but it must be good if she was getting praised for it! "Un! My boyfriend is really good! He feeds me, bathes, me, and even sleeps with me!"

*Cough!*

The old man's cheeks flushed red! 'Kids these days! So open!'

Alex wanted to go find a hole to crawl under to hide. He now had to explain to Loeri what a boyfriend actually meant! Letting out another sigh Alex followed the old man to his food stall and bought everything he had. After storing it and saying his goodbyes, Alex walked towards their main destination since entering this city, the Adventurers Guild! This would be the first mission Alex would take since setting out. The only issue was that because his guild card would prove his gender the guild staff would know that he was in fact female and that he was in fact Alicia.

Alex pushed open the big double doors to have everyone turn and look at him. No matter how you looked at it he stood out no matter where he went. All eyes focused on Alex when he walked into the guild. He ignored all the gazes and walked straight to the receptionist counter.

"Excuse me, I am here to see if the guild has any special request that normal Adventurers can not handle. Here is my guild card." Alex handed over his card.

As soon as the receptionist saw the card her eyes almost popped out of her head. She almost knelt on the ground! Before she was a very legendary person! The Hero of Alastine! Alex quickly put his finger to his lips to tell the receptionist to not say a word. The receptionist quickly nodded her head and said: "Ummm..Pr..."

"Just Alex is fine."

"Then Alex. We do have one that is about a three weeks journey from here. It has been issued at all the guilds in the region. It's about a pack of fire wolves that have made the Moonclave mountains their home. The nearby villages have nearly been whipped out. Many villagers have died as well." The receptionist explained.

"No knight orders have been sent out?" Alex asked. Normally if citizens were losing their lives a knight's order would be sent out. Which was why Alex asked this question.

"One was but. Three of the five came back severely wounded. "
