I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 1032

“Heart of Light… Mmm, thank you.”
Verafia put away the gift from the Goddess of Light and thanked her. Her peripheral vision caught Ig in her sight, and she suddenly transmitted her thoughts: “Avrilia, can I ask you one more question?”
“Are you asking about the young man beside you?”
The Goddess of Light’s gaze shifted slightly, and then she shook her head: “I’m sorry, he was originally the Son of Destiny. Even if he gave up that identity, I cannot make too many judgments.”
“Mmm… Is that so? Is it because of me?”
Verafia glanced at the young man beside her, a hint of sadness in her eyes.
She had once wondered what kind of life Ig would have if she were not around… Perhaps, as Avrilia said, as the Son of Destiny, he would have a more fulfilling and happier life?
Instead of just dedicating himself to her, even willing to give up what he possessed.
Her eyes dimmed, and she shook her head.
Having received enough answers from the Goddess of Light, Verafia had no intention of staying.
It seemed that Herafir and the Goddess still had things to discuss, and the girl chose not to disturb them, bidding them farewell with a gentle wave.
Clear light condensed around her, as pure as magnificent jade. Verafia, holding Ig’s hand, took small steps forward, the beautiful high heels wrapping her feet making a pleasant sound.
She tried her best to hide her emotions and put on a normal expression. She shifted her gaze, secretly looking at Ig, wondering what kind of demeanor she should have when facing him.
Suddenly, her small hand was grasped by Ig. The girl looked up in surprise and saw the smile on the young man’s face: “I guess Veer must have asked the Goddess of Light about me.”
“Eh, how did you know?” Verafia replied subconsciously.
This shouldn’t have happened… Ig, you idiot. Even though it’s already in the legends, my conversation with Avrilia was a telepathic exchange. Even if a true god were standing beside us, they wouldn’t be able to detect it. How did this guy know?
On the girl’s raised little face, besides panic, there was more doubt.
“Veer’s expression has always been so easy to read.”
Ig rubbed her small head, unable to help but chuckle, and added, “Actually, being able to be with Veer is already a very fortunate thing for me. I can’t imagine what kind of things could be compared to Veer?”
“Compared to the Young Lady, even an entire world is insignificant.”
“Mmm. St-stupid, always saying such emotional things. You guy, you must be deliberately teasing the Young Lady…”
The girl’s pretty face flushed, and her small hands tugged at his collar, almost burying her head in her embrace, which left Ig speechless.
Isn’t this all because you little girl always overthink things?
Ig thought as he stroked the girl’s delicate golden hair.
“By the way.”
The girl’s pleasant voice sounded. She raised her head, her magnificent golden eyes lighting up with a bright color.
“My sister said before that the Goddess of Light might be able to answer some of your questions. Ig, why didn’t you ask?”
Her magnificent, luxurious big eyes gazed at him. It was clear that a captivating blush still lingered on the girl’s fair skin, yet she pretended to be relaxed. It was evident that this little girl was completely trying to change the subject.
Ig smiled slightly, “I originally had some questions…”
“Let this young lady guess, is it about eternity?” Verafia tilted her head, blinking her charming eyes.
Ig thought for a moment, “Actually, I did have that plan. However, the Goddess of Light Princess has already given me the answer.”
“The answer?”
Verafia followed Ig’s gaze and looked around. The luxurious buildings were bathed in radiant light. “Mmm, Ig, you mean that the Goddess of Light’s world itself contains the answer to eternity?”
Seeing Ig’s affirmative reply, the girl puffed out her cheeks and grabbed his arm, asking persistently, “Then, Ig, tell me, what is it?”
“Hmm, Veer, why don’t you guess?”
“Mmm, darn it! The Young Lady already told you…”
Facing the girl’s protest, Ig remained unmoved, only smiling and rubbing her small head, his eyes inevitably raising.
In fact, the question Ig most wanted to ask the Goddess of Light was what he could do for Verafia.
However, such a question quickly vanished in his heart. He was the girl’s knight. What else did he need to ask the Goddess of Light for?
“Veer is a greater goddess than me. Perhaps she doesn’t need my protection, so what I can do is naturally become her sword. Even if it means facing the abyss.”
Ig thought to himself, a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.
Of course, Ig had no intention of telling Verafia these words.
Otherwise, this little girl would definitely be embarrassed again and say that he was deliberately being sentimental… Well, for Ig, that would also be a very awkward thing.
…
After Verafia and Ig left, the Goddess of Light Avrilia and Herafir stood in the palace. However, they did not converse as Verafia had imagined, but rather gazed at their departing backs.
“Hera, their relationship is very good.”
Golden radiance like clear hair cascaded down. Avrilia revealed a gentle smile, her melodious voice sounding.
“After all, Veer is a god as a mortal.”
Herafir turned her face, her fiery red hair cascading down, her exquisite face with a pair of magnificent crimson eyes like flames of fire gazing at the light-filled goddess: “Then, Avrilia, what about you?”
The magnificent red eyes were bright and fiery. The Goddess of Light also lowered her bright eyes, revealing a smile as gentle as always, her voice soft, “Hera, this is the question you asked me before we parted. However, compared to the hatred back then, this time, you are more like questioning. This isn’t like you from the past.”
The goddess’s luxurious golden eyes were gentle and bright. Herafir’s eyes dimmed. From the very beginning, she knew the other party’s choice.
“Veer still needs me to help her… Avrilia, goodbye.”
“Mmm.”
The Flame Goddess suddenly turned her face, looking at the girl enveloped in light, whose purity made her even more brilliant: “Avrilia, I can feel that you have abandoned your divine spark, which has far surpassed me… Tell me, is your light eternal?”
“Light, it eternalized in an instant, and transformed into the world.”
“Above eternity lies being the world… I see.”
Herafir murmured. She looked up at the boundless world created by light and suddenly smiled again, “As expected, this is your choice all along. Thank you for telling me, I should go now.”
Avrilia called out to the Flame Goddess who was turning to leave. She gently closed her beautiful, luxurious eyes and smiled again:
“If, as destiny foresees, before the abyss submerges that world, you and Soul, and your sister, Hera, this pure land, I will always keep it for you.”
