I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 405

Chapter 405 Chapter 199 Nun Under The Twilight (Part 2)
The girl’s delicate and soft little hand, wrapped in silk gloves, held the young man’s arm. They stood not far away. The golden-haired nun in a pure white robe still had a gentle smile on her face, but her azure eyes couldn’t help but ripple slightly.
Ig was slightly embarrassed by the girl’s proximity, especially in front of Chrisis.
The black-haired young man gently held the girl’s delicate little hand beneath her silky exterior: “Ha… I miss Sister Chrisis too. But, Veer, have you seen Sister Chrisis recently?”
“Mm, I just happened to run into her when I was shopping yesterday,”
Verafia nodded crisply. She raised her youthful little face, and a hint of cunning suddenly flashed in her golden eyes. In a soft and delicate tone, she also adopted Ig’s address for the nun:
“At that time, Sister Chrisis told me a lot about your childhood with her… Ig, you never told me before.”
The girl grabbed his sleeve, and as if remembering something, her strikingly beautiful golden eyes showed a flash of light: “Oh, right, and the emerald gem you gave Sister Chrisis… it was really beautiful!”
Even if Ig were slow-witted, he understood that Miss Phoenix was completely asserting her status in front of Chrisis.
Also, regarding the gift the girl suddenly mentioned that he gave to the nun, Ig didn’t think this young lady would truly care for mere human gems. In that case, her purpose…
Ig felt a sweat break out on his forehead. He saw the white-robed nun still wearing the gift he had given her and stammered an explanation: “Ha, because of past events, it wasn’t very meaningful, so I didn’t mention it to you, Miss. Sister Chris…”
“Yesterday, Miss Vera did indeed chat with me for a long time… If it weren’t for her, perhaps I would have had no one to confide in.”
A clear girlish voice came. Chrisis gently clasped her hands in front of her. Her azure eyes gazed at Ig, who stood beside the exquisitely beautiful girl. A tender smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she blinked her eyes lightly:
“However, young master, if you don’t prepare gifts for your girlfriend, she won’t like you.”
Ig felt a moment of injustice in his heart. How could he not have considered such a thing… But this young lady before him was a noble phoenix. Even a single feather of hers would be worth more than him.
Moreover, it was only a few days ago that he had confessed his love to the girl with the courage of facing death. Before that, he naturally worried about being burned to ashes if he offended this young lady too rashly.
Ig shifted his gaze. The girl holding his arm clearly had a look of wanting something, but she pouted her delicate red lips and put on a nonchalant expression on her pure white little face, as if she didn’t care at all.
Ig really wanted to pinch her little head, but he suppressed this impulse in his heart.
Chrisis’s words, however, relieved the young man a bit… Ig could somewhat sense the nun’s feelings for her, but towards this girl who had grown up by his side since childhood, Ig indeed felt more “familial affection.”
Besides, in front of the young lady beside him, he didn’t dare to create a harem like the protagonists in some knight novels.
“Ah, but speaking of which, we had agreed to go see Sister Chrisis after returning to Lorinc, but it got delayed until now…”
“That’s not the young master’s fault.”
Chrisis said softly, her azure eyes looking at the young man in front of her: “Miss Vera told me that the young master had come to the church to look for me… but it was only because I wasn’t there myself.”
“Ha, I see… Then why are you here today, Sister Chrisis? Did you come specifically to wait for me?”
Chrisis in front of him, although not much different from before, had a quality in her gentleness that was almost sharp, making Ig feel a bit awkward. He scratched his head sheepishly.
“Mm. Fortunately, the family’s guards recognized me… After giving your name, young master, they didn’t stop me.”
Chrisis said. The nun’s azure gaze met the golden-haired girl standing beside the young man, and she slightly raised her eyes: “However, I wonder if the young master could speak with me alone?”
“This…”
Ig hesitated for a moment, looking at Verafia beside him.
“Eh… Why are you looking at me for something like this? This young lady doesn’t mind at all.”
Verafia slightly waved her delicate white, snowy cheeks, appearing uninterested. She waved her little hand at Ig again, her big eyes looking at him:
“Go on, go on, this young lady will wait for you here.”
Ig hesitated slightly, then nodded. He gently squeezed the girl’s delicate, boneless hand, and then walked towards the golden-haired nun not far away.
The nun’s face showed a subtle smile. Without rushing to speak, she slightly moved her feet beneath her robes and walked beside the young man.
–
Rustle.
The faint sound of footsteps and the soft rustling of the evening wind against the nun’s robe seemed to merge together, echoing in the quiet atmosphere.
Neither of them spoke. Although the white-robed nun was close by, she did not break the boundary of “intimacy.”
But for some reason, Ig seemed to feel a sense of oppression.
He couldn’t help but want to look back at the beautiful girl in the red dress behind him, but he suppressed this impulse and raised his gaze to look at the nun’s face beside him.
The twilight sunlight gently cascaded, casting its glow on the nun’s robe and her fair cheeks. Although she couldn’t compare to Verafia, Chrisis’s appearance was also considered beautiful. Under the rendering of the evening sun, she appeared even more gentle and beautiful.
However, Ig faintly felt the desolate, sad, and even desperate attributes of “twilight.” He hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.
“Sister Chrisis…”
“Young Master Ig.”
The nun’s clear voice also sounded at this moment. She turned her face, wearing a gentle smile: “I heard that the young master defeated Douglas yesterday. Congratulations.”
“You mean that scoundrel… Sigh, I still resent not being able to beat him up for you, Sister Chrisis.”
Ig stopped his steps along with the nun, “However, it’s not really something to be praised. The scoundrel lost because of his own arrogance, and I only managed to do it with Veer’s power.”
“Miss Verafia…”
The white-robed nun said it slightly. Her gaze shifted, touching the slender figure standing in the distance, her large golden eyes gazing at the girl. The gorgeous evening gown seemed to dim under her exquisite beauty.
“Miss Verafia… is indeed quite a good girl. You must cherish such a treasure-like child, young master.”
“Haha, it’s my luck to meet Miss Vera. I will do my best.”
Ig felt the atmosphere ease a little and couldn’t help but laugh, “But, Sister Chrisis, why did you come to find me? What did you want to do?”
Whether it was an illusion or not, the atmosphere in the air instantly became silent. When he came to his senses again, Chrisis’s warm azure eyes met his gaze, and her fair face showed a slight smile.
“I came this time to bid farewell to the young master.”
