I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 597

Chapter 597 Chapter 55 A Question
“You found out?”
The girl in the black and white maid dress looked at her with a slight surprise, and then a smile appeared on her cheeks, “But she’s not the daughter of any noble family… Count Sirius rarely attends noble balls, and I haven’t heard of any noble lady’s name.”
“Then who is it?” Verafia asked curiously.
“If you want me to say… I think it’s mostly because the young master missed Young Master Azer.”
The maid girl thought for a moment and then said, “After all, when the young master was young, he was raised by Young Master Azer. As the head maid said, their relationship has always been good, and the young master was very attached to him when he was young…”
“However, not long after the master passed away, Young Master Azer moved out of the castle and rarely came back. The young master misses him very much, but he never showed it. However, you saw through it.”
Verafia blinked her golden eyelashes slightly, showing a look of sudden realization.
The “master” the maid mentioned clearly referred to the father of Count Sirius and the former count. According to Azer, he died ten years ago in the expedition against the Frost Calamity. At that time, Azer was still a child… but he moved out of the castle.
In his words, he found Sir Trist, joined the Punishment Army, and became a Witch Hunter.
“In Azer’s eyes, Sirius is also the most important person to him… Could it be that Azer knows something, or has made some resolve… Hmm, could it be that he vowed to kill the Frost Witch and avenge the Count?”
Verafia tilted her head slightly. After thinking about it, she felt that it was probably just as she guessed.
“Actually, in the eyes of the castle maids, the Count is still a child who hasn’t grown up…”
The maid said softly. Suddenly, she realized she had said something wrong and quickly looked back. Seeing that no one was behind her, she said, “Miss Verafia, please don’t tell the head maid or the Count about this, or I’ll be in trouble.”
At the end, the maid stuck out her tongue and begged Verafia.
Verafia couldn’t help but chuckle and nodded. Seeing that she agreed, the maid breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly, and then quietly closed the door.
After the maid left, Verafia sat on the soft sofa, resting her chin on her small hand.
Outside the window, the soft moonlight seemed to flow like clear water, slightly illuminating the girl’s flawless face. The young girl suddenly blinked gently:
“However, I feel like it’s not ordinary. What do you think Count Sirius thinks of Azer…? Is it just, as a younger brother, to be attached to an older brother…?”
On that refined and slender young Count, she felt a resemblance to herself towards that guy Ig…
“Wait, this young lady isn’t attached to Ig that guy! Clearly, it’s this guy who is attached to this young lady!”
Verafia raised her little face and argued stubbornly. Even though the young man wasn’t in front of her, thinking like this still felt comfortable.
Suddenly, there was a crisp knock on the door, and the girl quickly turned her head. A moment later, a young man’s voice came from outside the door, “Young Lady, it’s me.”
Under Sirius’s arrangement, although Ig didn’t live with her, he was in an adjacent room.
“This guy, why did he come as soon as I just mentioned him?”
Slightly lowering her small face, the girl blinked her eyes, then placed her small hand on her slightly hot little face, making sure she was no different from usual, and then said, “Mmm, come in directly, the young lady hasn’t slept yet!”
The door was gently pushed open, and Verafia looked at the young man who walked up to her. Her slender eyelashes lifted slightly, and she said, “Ig, did you come to find me because you have a question?”
“Young Lady knows?”
Ig touched his nose and sat beside her at the girl’s gesture.
He slightly raised his head. The girl was sitting on the sofa, and she gently lifted her hand to stroke her long hair.
Her beautiful golden hair reflected on her flawless profile. The moonlight illuminated the soft curves under her white dress, making her delicate face appear exceptionally moving and beautiful.
Ig was stunned for a moment. In the past, he was accustomed to the company of this charming and beautiful girl. When she was around, he felt a sense of cherish, as if she were a rare treasure…
His arm was suddenly pushed lightly, and Ig quickly came back to his senses. The girl, with her beautiful eyes, tilted her head and looked at him. Her golden eyes turned slightly, and she suddenly giggled coquettishly:
“Mmm, why are you spacing out, you guy… Could it be that you’re infatuated with this young lady?”
As if she could smell the fragrance of the girl’s hair, Ig’s breathing quickened with her charming voice.
He had wanted to shamelessly wrap his arm around the girl’s slender waist and pull her into his embrace. Then, when she let out a娇呼 and her snowy cheeks turned red, he would give a charming smile and gaze affectionately at the beautiful eyes hidden by the girl’s shy eyelashes, saying:
“Girl, it’s only your fault for being too beautiful and catching my attention.”
However, Ig was too embarrassed to flirt like that. Such a scene actually made him blush and his ears burn. In the end, he could only cough awkwardly:
“Cough, cough, Young Lady…”
“Pfft, you guy, you haven’t done anything to me yet, and you’re already like this…”
The girl’s crisp laughter, like silver bells, sounded out. Her beautiful golden eyes curved into a gentle golden moon. She held her small hands, tilted her little head, and placed it on the young man’s shoulder.
Ig held his breath.
Outside the window, the silver moonlight cast a thin shadow, and the air, reflecting her melodious voice, felt tranquil.
At this moment, only the young man’s slightly heavy breathing could be heard, intertwined with her delicate breathing. One could even faintly hear the restless and hot blood flowing in the young man’s veins.
The scorching heat seemed to stain Verafia’s fair face. Her heart trembled, showing a hint of nervousness and shyness. She was not yet at the point of openly teasing Ig like this; it was a great courage for the girl.
“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore…”
A muffled laugh broke the tranquil atmosphere filled with lingering emotions. Verafia lifted her little head before she could blush, stuck out her tongue, and looked at the young man with golden pupils:
“Tell me, why did you suddenly come to see this young lady? Is there something you want to ask? Mmm, this young lady guesses, is it… the ‘cultist’ from not long ago?”
“How did Veer know?”
Ig suppressed the restlessness in his heart and looked up with surprise.
Back then, when facing the “cultist” in the tattered robe from the Kasha Cult, both the opponent and Verafia’s reaction made him feel that there were clues.
However, after that, Count Sirius was always by their side, and Ig never had the chance to ask.
