I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 145

Chapter 145 Chapter 63 Elishia (Part 2) (11/80)
“Thank you for helping me earlier. May I know your name?”
The girl’s voice was gentle, like clear sunlight. She raised a pair of golden eyes and thanked the young man beside her softly.
“Ah, it’s nothing!”
Ignett, who had been stunned for a moment, hastily replied, “And I wouldn’t have been able to defeat Rols by myself, I might have been cleaved by his sword. I have to thank you for saving me. As for names, you can call me Ignett.”
Ignett naturally assumed that the light shield and protection had landed on him for no reason, and among the people present, only this swordswoman could have lent him a hand.
A swordswoman, who also possessed such pure sacred light divine arts, what was this girl’s identity?
With thoughts churning in his mind, Ignett couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the girl.
A gentle smile graced the girl’s delicate face. For some reason, Ignett suddenly found himself comparing her to his young lady.
Although she had similar eye colors and hair color to Verafia, the feeling they exuded was entirely different:
The girl before him, despite her high ponytail, gave Ignett a sense of peace and gentleness. Her pair of golden eyes, beyond their beauty and charm, were more like the clear, thin dawn light of early morning, serene and graceful.
As for his own young lady…
Verafia also had beautiful long hair like a brilliant golden sun, and a pair of beautiful golden eyes that, while occasionally showing a child-like liveliness, and Miss Phoenix seemed very close to him, and when the girl was happy, Ignett even wanted to reach out and caress her delicate and soft little face.
However, Ignett always felt that behind her eyes, which were like scorching stars, there was a kind of indescribable indifference, unlike the scorching colors – showcasing her pride and nobility, yet not allowing anyone to desecrate it.
“Ignett?”
Elishia uttered a sound, and Ignett quickly snapped back to attention, “Ah, I’m very sorry. I was looking at you just now and accidentally thought of my young lady. Oh, right, how should I address you?”
“You can call me Aixi,”
Elishia said with a light laugh. She looked at the young man before her, her beautiful eyes shifting slightly.
From the beginning, she had felt that Ignett was not ordinary. She didn’t expect him to mention that he served a young lady. Well, wasn’t this very close to what Little Fei had said?
“Then, Ignett, did you come to this place to find her?”
“That’s right. Miss Aixi, my young lady…”
Before Ignett could finish speaking, Elishia let out a soft sound and turned her fair face.
Suddenly, not far away in the slums, a violent magical fluctuation disturbed the air’s elemental particles, followed by a loud explosion.
Ignett also abruptly turned his head, a look of shock on his face.
Although his perception, as it was, could not discern the fluctuations in the elemental ocean, the mark of golden flame branded on his wrist told him without a doubt that it was the magic released by that Miss Phoenix.
“Ignett, what’s wrong?”
Elishia noticed the young man’s expression and guessed, “Could it be that your young lady is also in this slum? If that’s the case, please let me accompany you to find her.”
Ignett naturally did not refuse, and he hurried towards the slums with the enthusiastic swordswoman.
However, before they had walked too far, they saw a girl in a beautifully clean dress, holding a staff, and stomping her foot, walking out with a tall knight in silver armor. Ignett quickly went to meet them and instinctively shouted.
“Young Lady!”
“Huh, Ignett, why are you here too?”
Verafia turned her head and seemed to see someone she trusted. The sulky little face that had been pouting her lips brightened up instantly. The girl took a few light steps in her small boots and ran to the young man.
“Ah, Young Lady, after you left, Fernos finished reforging the End, and I thought of coming to find you.”
Looking at the girl who had run to him, tilting her little face as usual, extending her slender fingertips to lift her jade-like little face, and gazing at him with beautiful, lively big eyes, Ignett’s previously suppressed anxiety vanished, and a hint of relaxation and joy appeared on his face.
Ignett looked at the girl’s exquisite and beautiful face, like a doll, pure and flawless.
“It’s just, what happened to you just now… I felt the magic you released. Did something happen?”
“You mention that… Humph, of course, this young lady was plotted against by a hateful bad guy!”
When she spoke of this, Verafia’s expression turned unpleasant. She flicked her small hand, pursed her thin lips, and looked like she was sulking.
“In the end, I fought with him, and I didn’t catch him, which is one thing, but I was also humiliated by that person! Then I ran into this Avik who came… Hey, who is this woman behind you, Ignett?”
Verafia suddenly saw the girl walking behind Ignett and became wary, her scorching golden eyes showing vigilance.
The Temple Knight Avik, who was following the girl, also noticed the girl. Elishia winked at him as a signal, then walked closer to the girl.
“You must be Miss Verafia, whom Ignett mentioned. Indeed, you are a very beautiful child.”
“Who are you, and why are you by Ignett’s side?”
Verafia didn’t understand her goodwill at all, raising her big eyes and saying with a displeased face.
“Miss Verafia, you can just call me Aixi,”
Elishia said with a smile. She increasingly felt that this girl before her was the blonde girl Ophi had mentioned… As for the girl’s demeanor, Elishia didn’t pay much attention, explaining with a smile.
“It’s just that Ignett helped me. And after Ignett sensed Miss Verafia’s aura, I suggested that I follow him to find you.”
“Is that so?”
Verafia turned her head to look at the wry-smiling young man beside her, and her exquisite little face clearly showed an expression of no denial.
It took Ignett quite a while to explain to the girl before she was convinced that her attendant and this woman who claimed to be Aixi had met by chance.
“Alright then, I misunderstood you.”
Verafia crossed her arms, but her expression was still displeased. She tilted her chin and snorted, “I thought my attendant had run into some bad person… I apologize to you.”
Elishia shook her head. She took a step closer to Verafia, her golden eyes like cast gold casting a gentle gaze upon the girl:
“It is only right for Miss Verafia to be wary of a stranger like me. However, could you let me know what happened to you just now?”
