Not my pic but best picture of King Regis.

To say the least, the trip back was eventful with Prompto and Noctis arguing something pointless; again. I talked with Gladiolus about weapons. Ignis is driving but did chip into our conversation at times. He highly recommended a second weapon for me so, that I have options. Little did he know, I have weapons that are more powerful and dangerous. Reason; my king wanted me to have power so that no one would match me. However, this thought is weighing me down hard. Why do have so much power? I don't understand why my King wanted me to have so power in the first place. Why, indeed. We finally arrived at Insomnia; it was massive in real life. The pictures I was always given couldn't compared to the real deal. The city is...beautiful and I feel something warm and light here. I was always taught to feel nothing for this city but this place...strangely, looks familiar. Suddenly, my eyes saw a ghost-like motorcycle with a female rider dressed in black leather and a claymore sword on her back. Our eyes locked and I felt...fear for the first time. My heart is throbbing with my right hand twitching that wanted to reach my sword and get rid of this...thing. My mind is freaking out somewhat but kept calm while I was in the car. My eyes looked at my companions who were oblivious to the ghost-like figure that is driving across from us. It appears I'm the only that can see her. Why?Unless...Then the ghost-like woman whispered words and disappeared. What the hell?

"Hey Alice, you ok? You look pale." Gladiolus asked as my eyes turned to face him and replied,

"Yeah...I've...never been to...Insomnia. It's stunning."

"Hm, well, you were awake for the whole trip. We told you to get some sleep, missy."

"Indeed. You could faint or sleep at any time now. Take our highness for example." Ignis stated as he pointed out Noctis knocked out, his eyes were closed and quietly mumbled words of some kind.

"Yeah, the prince is a great example, Iggy." Gladiolus said as he chuckled, Prompto scooted closer to me and I asked,

"What, chatterbox?"

"Hold that pose!" Prompto said as I raised an eyebrow, he took a picture of me and his smile widened.

"Ice Alice, you should be a model! You are so hot and can pull any guy including me to be your boyfriend!"

"Why would I want you to be my boyfriend?" I asked not understanding

"I have awesome qualities and plus, I'm in love with you, duh!" Prompto said happily as he leaned in closer to kiss me, I took a blank sheet of paper from my pocket and placed it on his lips. He opened his eyes that looked shocked then went to sad as he saw the paper on his lips.

"Blondie, you need help with your love life." I blurted out as Gladiolus laughed at my comment and Ignis chuckled a bit.

"You lost again, Prompto." Gladiolus said as Prompto whined about wanting a kiss, we passed through the gated entrance and Ignis parked the car in front of a star case covered in a velvet color that lead to the castle. We all got out exempt Noctis who was still sleeping. Ignis was about to do something but I went to him first. I was curious about how he sleeps a lot anyway. I whispered in a low sexy voice that Prompto said was hot to hear in his ear.
"I'm about to give you another mouth session about greens, Noctis."
With that said, his eyes snapped open while tried to get out of the car but fell down to the ground. His friends laughed at his action as he got up and looked at me as if I'm the bad guy.
"Alice..."
"What, goth?"
"...nothing." Noctis replied as he averted his gaze from me and face looked red. I followed them to the entrance until the guards pointed their spears at me. Ignis informed them that I am with them and only one guard lowered his weapon.
"Ma'am, we need to you hand over your weapon."
"Why?" I asked in confusion
"Your entering the palace as a guest here. Your weapon will be our armory until you leave."
"I don't trust you. I won't give my sword to you just because you want it, fool." I replied as the second guard got closer with his spear closer to my face and Noctis whispered,
"Alice, you will get your weapon back. Please, trust me and give them your weapon."

I wanted to argue about handing my weapon to the guard but it would look suspicious if I fought back that will lead to revealing my power all to soon. If this is to gain Noctis's trust, then I must sacrifice this much. As I handed my sword to one of the guards, my eyes landed on the bracelet that Ardyn gave me when we last meet and remembered what it does to me. It hides my powers from any royal family with powers and makes me feel like a normal human. My body relaxes a bit after remembering the device and the guards let me pass. They insured that my weapon will be safe and that I can get it back after I leave the palace. The men lead the way through massive hallways that act as a maze in my mind with stunning architecture. This palace made me feel...something old and...familiar? Why? I am a product yet, I'm feeling these...feelings for the first time and I had no idea how I should react. We entered into a massive room that was felt grand with marble and sunlight shining as if light were lighting the way. We stopped in front of the stairway that had two people on the top. The first one man looked tough with a military haircut and a black uniform for the Lucian family until I recognized him: Cor Leonis. It's said that he is the best fighter here in Inosomnia earning him the nickname: Cor, the Immortal. I kept my hands hidden behind my back as it twitched in excitement of seeing a worthy opponent. My eyes scanned to the second man that is sitting on the throne, wearing royal clothing fit for a king and his eyes...looked at us as looking for something. King Regis, my king's target and enemy.

"Welcome home, my wayward son." King Regis said as the boys bowed in respect, I didn't bow because I don't bow to anyone but my king and Regis raised a brow in curiosity of my action.

"You have interesting company. May I ask who is this friend of yours?"

"Forgive us, your majesty. This is Alice, we meet her during our training." Noctis replied as he took a quick glance at me, he furrowed his eyebrows at me as if I did something wrong and continued,

"She helped us out with one of our hunts."

"Hmmm. Then she must have great skills if she was hunting. I welcome you, Miss Alice to Insomnia. My name is Regis Luis Caelum, I am the King of Insomnia." He introduced himself as I continued to stare at him because my focus is on what Regis possessed, he has white energy that seemed to be pouring out as power that is protecting?...no, it's draining him...I know why. Noctis nudged my shoulder to bring my attention back to the matter at hand and everyone is waiting for my response to their king. Great, I spaced out and I need a really good lie. Lucky, I know one.

"I see it, now." I said as Regis and Cor looked a little confusion on what I'm saying, my head turned to Noctis and I said,

"The mister doesn't hate greens, goth." After I said that, Prompto clamped his mouth as if not trying to freak out or laugh, Gladiolus and Ignis stood there shocked of my words. Cor looked at me as if I had done something disrespectful and King Regis just looked at us while trying reel in my words, I guess.

"Follow the mister's example, goth. No, I have a new name for you; vegetable hater." I said as Noctis shook in annoyance and shouted,

"Would you quit it with this goth name?! Vegetable hater??!! What the hell is wrong with you?!"

"Nothing is wrong with me. Something is wrong with you and your fighting skills, vegetable hater."

"Stop calling me that!! Are you insulting my fighting skills!?"

"Yeah, you fight well but you don't eat greens, vegetable hater."

"That has nothing to do with fighting, Alice!!" Noctis continues to argue as if he had forgotten the King and Cor were staring of what is happening. His friends were trying to signal him to stop but that didn't help.

"Sure it does, you need to eat green to grow. Since you don't eat greens, you'll become a woman, goth. You have the look and curves for it." I replied as his friends just stood there in shock and trying not to laugh. However, there was a chuckle that came out of King Regis and Noctis looked at his father in shock as if he never heard the King laugh in his life. Cor looked surprised as well as King Regis got up and walked down the stairs with a crane that supported him. Cor followed as well. As he got to us, he looked at me with a kind smile and asked,

"I take it my wayward son has been troubling you, Miss Alice?"

"Yeah, mister. He won't eat greens; he's wasting food." I replied as Noctis and his friends looked extremely worried of what I called him. Cor still stared at me as if he is ready to teach me a lesson.

"I see, instead of mister, why not call me Regis, Miss Alice?"

"I can't."

"Why not?" Regis asked as he raised a eyebrow

"I need a name that suits you...I have one...Wise beard man." I said as everyone is shocked of what I called him and continued to my reason of the name "You seem to have a knowledge in wisdom, wise beard man. Also, you are giving off some powerful aura, nice job, wise beard man."

Regis just looked at me as if he is searching something on me and lightly laughs at the name I gave him.

"Why don't join me for some tea, Miss Alice? I'm curious about this nickname you gave me."

"Sure, wise beard man." I replied as I started to follow him, leaving a shocked group that didn't bother to follow and Cor following us that left the throne room.

I'm sorry that I updated this so late after the holidays. I finally had time to type up my story for you, readers. Please enjoy! I don't own FFXV.
