Chapter 41: The Red Faced Alicia


    Reba''s words caused Alicia''s face to turn bright red. She peeked at ke shyly before turning to Reba saying: "No Reba he is just here to protect me from the shadows. Master Berlin sent him to watch over me."


    Hearing the name Berlin, Dalton''s brow twitched. He knew this name all too well. He did not know what connection Alicia had with this Berlin but he knew for a fresh knight who was just admitted to the elite order of knights right out of his squire training then Alicia was very important Berlin. Dalton looked at ke and then at Alicia. Seeing Alicia''s red face he couldn''t help but take a second look at ke. He nodded his head as he thought ke will be ady killer when he gets older and drops that baby fat. He made his way over to ke and put his arm around ke''s shoulder. "Make sure you protect her well on her trip to the capital. If anything were to happen to her... You know what will happen to you."


    "I know. But I was also told not to assist unless she was on the verge of dying. I only helped her once recently because the women needed help quickly." ke exined, his face stoic.


    "Bah! Such a youngd but only knows how to follow what others tell him. Although it is not a bad thing you still need to think for yourself. Otherwise, how will you find a wife in the future?" Dalton patted ke''s back heavily.


    ke just looked at Dalton nkly as he thought of how he never thought of taking a wife since he was still too young for such matters. But the more he thought about it the more he realized he would being of age soon. ke unconsciously turned his gaze to Alicia. Alicia also happened to look in ke''s direction. Their eyes met for a few seconds before Alicia''s face once again turned bright red as she turned her head away quickly.


    Dalton saw this interaction and let out a heartyugh. "Haha! Spring is in the air I see!" He leaned over to ke once again and whispered: "It''s best to be her personal knight as soon as possible or else when shees of age she will have many suitors. How will you scare them all off if you are not nearby?"


    ke only shook his head as he said: "You''re thinking too much..." Dalton did not know but ke knew. Alicia was not someone who was from his world. She might have the same path in life as him but she was someone higher than him by a lot. Someone he could never dream of reaching. It was just that Alicia did not know it yet.


    Reba who was at the side kept seeing Alicia''s face turn red which incited her curiosity so Reba bounced over to Alicia and asked: "Alicia do you like Sir ke?"


    Alicia suddenly found herself speechless. Reba had asked such a private question so loudly and now she had to answer! "I-I I umm..."


    "Reba, how can you be so nosy!?" Dalton yelled out. But with one being reprimanded another little girl''s curiosity got the better of her as well.


    "Mother is that big brother my father?" Frey asked as she blinked her little expectant eyes at Alicia. Her cuteness along with the question was too much for Alicia to handle as her face was as red as an apple all the way up to her ears.


    Thinking quickly Alicia replied: "Frey Mother owes Sir ke her life. He is also kindly watching out for us from afar until we get to the capital."


    "By why do you turn red when you look at big brother?" Frey inquired yet again. Not realizing that Alicia wanted to scream and run away at this time. At heart, although she was young in this world, she was still older mentally due to living to the age of fifteen in her past life. But even if this was the case she had never had a boyfriend or had fallen in love. She had never had much contact with boys her own age in her past life so these questions were really unfair to her!


    Not knowing what to say Alicia blurted out: "Your mother just finds Sir ke very handsome..." If you looked close enough as Alicia finished her sentence a puff of smoke came out of her ears and the top of her head as her whole head became a deeper shade of red. She did not mean to say that out loud!


    Seeing this was not going to end any time soon Dalton decided to give Alicia a helping hand since she had been put on the spot for so long. "Alright! Alright, let''s get Alicia settled in. Reba go call your mother and brother and have theme to the guest house. I will have them meet Alicia before dinner."


    Reba Smiled and shouted out: "Okay~!" Before running off towards the second floor.


    "Alright, Alicia follow me to the back and brat you cane too. There is a side room that you can stay in near the guest house. This way you can stay near Alicia during her stay here in Parith." Dalton said as he waved his hand.


    Frey who had dropped thest bomb had be sleepy and fell asleep on Alicia''s shoulder. Alicia did not follow Dalton immediately instead she stopped Dalton and said: "Sir Dalton there is one more you need to be introduced to."


    "Oh? Who''s that?" Dalton asked.


    "Loeri, wake up and greet Sir Dalton." Alicia said while poking Loeri on the head.


    "Mhm Five more minutes... I have had to stay on guard for so many days let me sleep." Loeri sleepily said after only waking up long enough to say these words before falling back asleep. She did not even lift her head.


    "Well, Sir Dalton the little dragon on top of my head is named Loeri. She is my contracted beast or should I say contracted dragon..." Alicia introduced Loeri to Dalton since Loeri was too sleepy to introduce herself.


    "Alicia Did-Did you just say dragon!?"
