I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 370

Chapter 370 Chapter 164 Chrisis’s Past (Part 2)
Although the girl’s complaining voice was very quiet, combined with the expression on her small face, it was not difficult to perceive.
Chrisis gazed at the unattainable luxurious girl in front of her, silently thinking about her relationship with that young man in her heart. She closed her eyes slightly, then smiled and said softly:
“Miss Vera, your expression… do you want a gift from the young master?”
“How is that possible!”
Verafia, like a little bird thrown into a rain curtain, seemed to be startled and raised her little head, quickly denying it.
The girl shook her head vigorously, raised her golden gorgeous eyes, and argued unreasonably: “Moreover, with this young lady’s status, even if you add up all his wealth, it’s not as valuable as a feather of mine. Why would this guy’s gift be worthy of this young lady’s attention… I just felt that this guy didn’t respect this young lady just now!”
Chrisis pursed her lips into a gentle smile, but she didn’t provoke Miss Phoenix further. Instead, she gently picked up the conversation and continued to tell her story.
The content that followed was similar to what she had said last time. Chrisis only briefly mentioned her story of going to Lichen’s religious academy, without going into detail.
However, Verafia obviously guessed that this period was not a happy one for her, and it could even be considered a darker period… Perhaps Chrisis’s hostility towards nobles deepened during this time.
“So, because the Sacred Light Church not only helped you, but also took you to help the poor during your internship… that’s why Chrisis chose to join the church as a nun right after graduation?”
After Chrisis finished her explanation, Verafia raised her small face and looked at her, her big golden eyes showing interest. The girl’s pure white slender hand rested on her cheeks, she thought for a moment and added, “Well, in your human words, is it to realize one’s value?”
“Realizing value or something… ha, I am not like Miss Vera with your extraordinary status. This topic is a bit too distant for me.”
The girl’s words made Chrisis unable to help but laugh. The nun looked at her flawless face and shook her head with a light smile:
“There are no phoenix ladies in humanity like you who are naturally powerful and don’t need to worry about life. Even the descendants of kings and nobles are an ignorable proportion compared to commoners. The ideals and values you mentioned… can be a luxury for many people.”
Verafia suddenly felt that the nun’s gaze was like looking at a pampered and ignorant young lady who was trying to appear profound with her meager insights.
“Hey, hey, do I look that ignorant? I was just maintaining my persona just now!”
Verafia felt offended, and with a puffed-up face, she wanted to retort.
However, before she could make a sound, her raised golden eyes happened to fall on the beautiful face and water-blue eyes of the nun beside her, who was slightly smiling. Her golden eyes rippled slightly, and a thought flashed through her mind.
Although this nun always wore a smile, she could easily feel a sense of pessimism and low mood from Chrisis’s words and demeanor… This was not common for a nun of the God Of Light. After all, the spirit and temperament of the Sacred Light Church were always positive and uplifting.
“As for why I chose to become a nun… it’s probably because I only have talent in divine arts. I don’t want to be a burden to the young master after graduation due to unemployment.”
However, before Verafia could think carefully, the nun’s voice completed the unfinished words.
Verafia’s golden eyes flickered, and she wanted to pout and complain. For clergy to serve in the church was not a mandatory rule… Moreover, even in an ordinary adventurer team, a priest skilled in divine arts was always in demand.
Instead of such a crude excuse, it would be better to say directly, “Your childhood sweetheart wants to get closer to Ig.”
Verafia crossed her slender hands. For some reason, she thought stubbornly again.
While the thoughts were brewing in the girl’s mind, the nun beside her had already stood up and looked at her with a smile: “These are probably my past. I wonder if Miss Vera is satisfied?”
“Satisfied? How can you say that?”
Verafia exclaimed a couple of times. Listening to the nun’s words, it was as if she was narrow-minded and distrustful of her relationship with Ig, which was why she came to question her?
What is this all about… And does she care about that guy Ig that much?
The girl thought indignantly. Verafia couldn’t tolerate such a distortion of facts… She simply turned her little head away and ignored the vulgar nun, “However, no matter what, thank you for telling me.”
“It’s no trouble.”
Chrisis shook her head and raised her eyes again, showing her a smile: “In fact, I feel much more relaxed after telling you. So, I should thank Miss Vera for listening.”
After speaking, Chrisis turned her gaze to the place where the Holy Communion was distributed earlier. The long queue of people had dwindled significantly. Obviously, no matter how fast she rushed back, she wouldn’t be able to complete much work.
She couldn’t help but smile helplessly: “However, it seems that I will be complained about by a few sisters tonight. But, Miss Vera, why are you out alone today? Where is the young master? Why isn’t he accompanying you?”
Ha, you finally mentioned that guy Ig… Hmm, but I can see that you’ve been holding back until now.
Verafia sneered disdainfully in her heart. The girl’s slender fingers fiddled with a strand of her loose hair, looking bored, and raised her eyes to look at her again.
“You ask about Ig? Hmm, this guy seems to be undergoing some assessment today… He’s too busy to accompany this young lady. So, I came out alone.”
“Assessment? Miss Vera, are you talking about the assessment for the qualification of a Landauislofen family member?”
Chrisis’s expression changed. But seeing the girl’s strange look at her, Chrisis quickly explained: “Ah. I just returned to Lorinc this morning… I haven’t had time to inquire.”
“Is your life as a nun this busy?”
Verafia muttered, but didn’t dwell on it too much. She raised her head and responded: “It’s what you said. But with the sword technique I taught him, it’s easy for that guy to pass. So, I didn’t waste my time and came to do my own things.”
“…Your own things?”
ps: Chrisis’s initial design was the male protagonist’s childhood sweetheart. I even planned to have her engaged to the male protagonist at first… but in the end, a lot of her plot was cut.
