Chapter 127 – Chapter 45 Discussion
Rubiel City, in a dilapidated alley, silk-like, smooth, and beautiful long hair, radiant like the morning sun’s golden rays, lightly brushed against the girl’s delicate, thin shoulders, then fell.
Her pure white little boots made clear sounds on the ground. A girl adorned in exquisite dress, appearing out of place amidst the surroundings, turned her delicate face, as fine as porcelain, like an exquisite work of art meticulously carved by the gods, a self-satisfied expression appearing on it.
Verafia waved her little fist and happily chided the young man beside her.
“Those few guys, they wanted to snatch this young lady’s things again, hmph, and ended up like this. Ig, do you think this young lady is amazing?”
A wry smile appeared on Ig’s face. He had naturally witnessed the stunning flame attack the young lady had casually unleashed. Now, this little phoenix, with her bright and beautiful big eyes, was proudly showing off.
However, Ig couldn’t help but advise his young lady.
“Young Lady, the identities of those two people do not seem ordinary. Furthermore, scoundrels like them would surely not have broad minds. If you humiliate them like this, they might hold a grudge.”
Verafia’s expression immediately turned unhappy. She glared angrily at the young man beside her and said unhappily, “Hey, they were the ones who provoked me first, how can you blame me? And if it weren’t for your sake, Ig, this young lady would have burned them to death with a single fire!”
Ig watched the girl pout and turn her face away, feeling a bit amused. However, he clearly knew that this Miss Phoenix was just saying that, so he just chuckled.
“Even so, Rubiel City is considered a large city in Peka, and the noble families here are even more deeply rooted. Sometimes they even act contrary to the King’s commands. If they are determined to find trouble with you, it will be a troublesome matter for you, Young Lady.”
“Ah, this…” Verafia gazed with her big eyes, a few strands of golden hair lightly touched by the wind, caressing her slightly biting, delicate face.
Seeing the girl’s beautiful profile, Ig couldn’t help but reach out and touch her hair.
The girl’s hair, like the radiant golden sun, was delicate and soft, with a very good touch. However, as soon as Ig’s fingertips touched it, he realized his presumption and felt a chill in his heart.
Wait, no matter how beautiful this little phoenix is, you shouldn’t casually touch her. Although this little guy looks ignorant and clueless, if she becomes uncomfortable, she could pinch you to death with a wave of her hand!
Ig cautiously glanced sideways at the girl’s expression. Fortunately, the girl didn’t seem to pay any special attention to his actions. She merely fidgeted with her little head as if feeling a bit unaccustomed, and then continued to gaze with her fair little face tilted.
Ig breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
“Moreover, even if they can’t defeat you, if it delays you from searching for Grand Duke Oran’s treasure, wouldn’t that also be a very annoying matter?”
—
Verafia slightly raised her scorching golden eyes to look at Ig opposite her. Within the brilliant gold, her confusion over the young man’s words lingered.
Earlier, when Ig opposite her had suddenly gone mad and reached out to touch her hair in front of her, Verafia had indeed been startled and instinctively wanted to dodge, but she quickly suppressed this action.
After all, the identity she was currently playing was that of a phoenix young lady who had just been born not long ago. If her reaction was too strong, wouldn’t it seem strange? Moreover, this young man, who would be terrified if she merely frowned, Verafia believed he wouldn’t dare to do anything special to her.
Verafia gently touched her hair with her fingertips, blinked her eyes, and then seriously thought with her little face tilted.
However, according to her persona, having this young man comb her hair should be fine… Ig touching her earlier didn’t make her particularly uncomfortable, hmm, this matter could be considered…
Seeing the girl in thought, Ig couldn’t help but feel curious and asked, “Young Lady, what’s wrong?”
Verafia bit her lips, raised her little face, and propped her slender hand against her snowy cheek, thinking hard.
“Hmm… these few people do seem rather extraordinary, especially that young lady. I heard before that she seems to have come from your Royal Capital. Hmm, and there was also a teacher named Vi, Vicena? Ig, do you know them?”
“Young Lady, I wouldn’t know better than you. But about Vicena you mentioned… I seem to have heard her name…”
Ig chuckled. But he quickly frowned and began to think, “Let me think… it seems Father mentioned this name during a conversation. It seems she is the chief mage in the King’s court? Hmm, I don’t know if it’s the same person…”
Verafia remained silent, a slight smile appearing on her exquisite little face.
She naturally knew this mage named Vicena. Earlier, she hadn’t killed those few people, she had only taught them a lesson with a wave of flame, not only because of their background as Ig had mentioned but also because of this person’s name.
Verafia couldn’t help but recall the memory of a little girl stumbling behind her, calling out “Brother Locke” with her big eyes.
However, as Ig said, if she is now serving as the chief mage in Lancaster’s court, then that staff is probably in her hands too…
Verafia’s eyes showed her thoughts. She suddenly noticed that the young man beside her, who had been deep in thought, had raised his gaze again. She quickly put on a hesitant expression on her little face.
“Although what you said, Ig, is right, and these scoundrels’ backing is something I can’t afford to offend for now, but since they’ve found me, I can’t just let them bully me…”
Verafia grumbled reluctantly. She suddenly raised her golden eyes and shouted indignantly, “Besides, aren’t you to blame for this? If you, Ig, could have scared them away, would this young lady have had to act?”
Ig was stunned. He thought, I hadn’t even managed to reveal my identity, and wasn’t your flame attack already sent out?
However, as a qualified attendant, it was natural that enduring his young lady’s unreasonable tantrums was a necessary skill, so Ig quickly put on an apologetic expression.
Verafia suddenly showed a thoughtful expression again.
“However, what you said can’t be ignored. What if they bring their entire family to cause trouble for this young lady, then what will we do?”
