Chapter 204 The Princess Lost in Dreams
“Talking about Ig-” “you like that… what do you know!”
A tender and clear, pleasant voice of a girl sounded, but she sounded very angry.
The mage and knight quickly turned their heads to look. What they saw was a dragon girl with magnificent dragon horns like jewels and a pair of crystal dragon wings. Her frosty blue, translucent big eyes were wide with anger.
“This, this is Miss Orphilia, that dragon!”
Although this Ice Dragon Miss looked young and tender, with her Star Rank power and profound demonic power, even some Saint-level powerhouses found it difficult to compare with her in this frosty domain.
Coupled with her beautiful face and her somewhat naturally naive, cheerful, and peaceful personality, she was very popular among the warriors.
However, this Ice Dragon girl, who usually had a good temper, was rarely angry because of the name “Ig-”
Orphilia’s face turned red, and she puffed and ran to the front of the knight and mage.
She slightly clenched her little fists and looked at the two men who were as quiet as cicadas. She didn’t know how to express her anger for a moment. In the end, she flicked her slender and elegant dragon tail, which was covered by exquisite blue frost dragon scales, and walked past them indignantly.
“They don’t know anything… yet they slander others like this.”
Orphilia held back her tears, which were about to fall. Although it wasn’t directed at her, it made her feel very uncomfortable when it was directed at her friend.
Such words were not only an insult to Ig-, but also to Vera.
The Ice Dragon girl shook her head vigorously, completely ignoring the gazes of others, and ran to the carriage and climbed on it.
Even the nightmare of frost could not contaminate this warm space.
Her delicate eyelashes lightly covered her eyes. The golden-haired girl held her slender hands in front of her pure white silk long dress, and half-reclined on the soft bed. Orphilia also saw a pure white small flower that was rarely seen in the ice and snow.
Even after a full half-year, the girl’s face showed no signs of wear and tear from time and dimness. Her eyes were slightly hidden, and her doll-like exquisite face was lustrous and jade-like. Her delicate skin was slightly rosy, as soft as clouds.
It made people unable to resist reaching out and touching her.
As if she were a beautiful princess lost in a sweet dream.
The black-haired young man sat behind her, a gentle smile on his lips. One hand held a comb made of walrus ivory, gently brushing the girl’s smooth, silk-like hair.
“Little Fei?”
Ig-‘s movements paused slightly. He raised his eyes and saw the Ice Dragon girl who had hurriedly boarded the carriage.
“Um, Ig-, you’re accompanying Vera…”
Orphilia closed the carriage door and stammered a bit in a flustered manner. She looked at the black-haired young man behind the girl, and her frosty blue beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. “Ig-, are you injured?”
“I just came back, and I’ve asked Miss Shiel to rest.”
Ig- said with a smile, “But, Little Fei’s senses have become more acute again… Actually, it’s not a serious injury. I just fought with an incarnation of the Frost God for a while.”
“I always feel like you’re hiding something from me… is it because of Vera?”
Orphilia suddenly spoke.
“Is there?” Ig- raised his head and said.
Orphilia puffed out her cheeks and shook her head again.
Half a year ago, Verafia refined and purified a corner of the Sky that the Frost God had severed and gave it to Orphilia as a gift.
Not only did it allow Orphilia to reach the Star Rank in just half a year, but it also gave her a special understanding of the laws of ice.
As for Ig-, she could feel that the fragments of the laws of ice remained in the boy’s body, but it didn’t seem like they were left behind from a battle…
Not understanding, Orphilia cupped her face, her dragon tail wagging, and she sat between Ig- and the girl.
She raised her frosty blue pupils and looked at them.
Ig- and Vera… were the best friends she had made since coming to the human world. But now, Vera was always asleep, and even Ig- sitting beside her, she felt he had changed a lot and she couldn’t understand him at all.
Orphilia felt an indescribable sadness in her heart. The feeling of discomfort was like a large stone pressing on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Gently picking up the girl’s beautiful hair, Ig- put down the comb and saw Orphilia looking at him and the girl. He curved his lips and said.
“Little Fei, your eyes are still a little wet, as if you’ve been crying.”
“Um!”
The Ice Dragon girl was startled and raised her face, quickly reaching up to wipe her eyes.
“Just now, were you arguing with others for my sake?”
“Ig-, you know everything?”
Looking up at Ig-‘s smiling face, Orphilia blinked her eyes somewhat wronged and pouted her lips, “They don’t know anything, and they just mock Ig- because of some rumors…”
Ig- shook his head. His fingertips stroked the girl’s smooth hair, and his raised eyes seemed to be recalling memories from half a year ago.
He said, “Actually, everything they said is not wrong. Half a year ago, Vera chose to completely unleash her flame power because of me…”
Orphilia anxiously raised her face.
“But you didn’t do anything wrong, Ig-. You clearly tried so hard back then, wanting to save Vera, even willing to sacrifice your life and block that hateful evil god by yourself!”
“Sacrifice his life…”
Ig- repeated the phrase.
If it was just about sacrificing his life, wouldn’t it be too easy for him, given his responsibilities and vows?
“Vera is my girl. I should be like a knight, forever protecting my goddess and my princess, so that she won’t be harmed.”
“This is my responsibility. But I have never truly fulfilled it.”
“But…”
Orphilia wanted to say something more. However, seeing the dim light in the boy’s eyes, she didn’t know what to say for a moment and could only lower her head dejectedly.
Silence passed in the stillness.
“Is that Winterfall City up ahead?” Ig- looked out through the open window. He could vaguely see the city frozen by ice.
“Um, Miss Kaslai told me it’s not far away…”
Orphilia suddenly raised her head. “By the way, I’ve never understood why Ig- insisted on bringing Vera here?”
What Orphilia said was a question she had had for more than half a year.
Entering this divine frost domain meant unimaginable danger. Although this expedition was considered smooth, more than half of the warriors had died from the erosion of ice… Not to mention Verafia, who had been in a deep sleep. Even though she was a Goddess Princess, it still took considerable effort to take good care of her every day.
As for Ig-, he had always insisted on doing things himself. Only when he couldn’t get away would he occasionally ask Shiel and Ain for help.
But in fact, at the very beginning, neither Kaslai nor others had to join this expedition.
Half a year ago, Ig- did not give the Ice Heart to Kaslai. The condition was that he would accompany them to this frosty domain.
