Chapter 26 (1/2)
Running towards the exit, Irene took only a few minutes to cross the immense palace.
With her dragon-slayer magic, she was stronger than before.
She was confident in her strength and magic, yet she was showing a face of fear and apprehension at the moment.
Given the power of the feather alone, if her power were to be unleashed, then the kingdom would surely suffer great damage.
And the question she had been asking herself ever since he had the feather was running through his head.
Will the Celestial Phoenix want to destroy the kingdom for taking one of her feathers?
According to the soldiers, the feather fell out of the Phoenix's body, so in itself it is not considered theft.
But she now knew that the Phoenix was a mythical and ancient creature never seen before.
So she didn't know the behavior of the creature, but knowing that it is very powerful and that it is a creature as old as the world, she thought the Phoenix must have a minimum of pride.
She also felt the outpouring of Life Energy from the feather.
Feeling this energy, her confused mind cleared up and her negative feelings subsided.
All her bad thoughts like the destruction of the kingdom were swept away to be replaced by thoughts buried deep in her heart.
Thoughts of finding himself falling in love with a man and getting married so that he would never be separated again, from life to death. Becoming pregnant with their child and living a happy and peaceful life.
It was a dream that Irene had buried deep in her heart because of her status as Queen and the ongoing war.
She had very little time for herself or to make her dreams come true. But it was a dream that she cherished the most in the world.
She wanted a man who would free her from all the constant stress, to see her as a woman and not a queen, to feel that warmth she had never experienced before.
All her thoughts, dėsɨrės and dreams resurfaced, but she focused on the present situation and was finally able to see the faces of the people.
She was able to notice and see the faces of the citizens and soldiers already there.
Confused to see these facial expressions instead of fear or anything else, she noticed that their faces were all pointing towards the same place.
Moving closer to the square, she was able to see the scene which obscured all the people in the place.
A young man of about 19-20 years of age with a line and celestial beauty was standing in the center of the citizens, wearing a large dress with the hood that had now come off because of the wind caused by the power of the Energy of Life and his floating hair.
Irene was hypnotized by the young man and her heart began to beat at a speed and rhythm different from usual and unusual for her.
Shin's reflection was reflected in his glassy eyes and was engraved in her memory forever.
An image worthy of a painting from the greatest artist, no, a divine painting.
Still hypnotized, a flying object entered her field of vision.
Shifting her gaze slightly to have Shin and the object in her vision, Irene could see that the object was the feather.
She was first surprised to see the feather as it was locked in a barrier created by Belserion and reinforced with its magic which was very powerful.
Then the feather continued to move towards Shin until it stopped right in front of him.
Suddenly, in the young man's back, large green wings of fire emerged.
The wings radiated a pleasant warmth and were sturdy looking very powerful.
It released small flames dancing all around Shin adding even more charms to the image of Shin.
Added this to Shin's serious eyes and the aura of his magical power, Shin's charisma and charm became fatal for all women.
At that time, Irene had begun to make the connection between all that had just happened.
'A celestial appearance, an overwhelming magical power, wings of fire, and the Energy of the feather that seems to react...Could it be?!'
When Irene had found the answer, the feather did something that made Irene 100% sure of the reliability of her answer.
The feather threw itself towards Shin's wings to merge there and return to its place.
After asking the system and getting his answer, Shin remembered that he was in a public place among all the citizens.
Looking around him, Shin saw everyone's eyes on him.
Shocked looks, love, ŀust, admiration, all kinds of emotions and dėsɨrės were released.
A drop of sweat ran down on Shin's forehead as he saw everyone looking at him like that.
Then his gaze was drawn to the side to see a woman.
(Irene's description already made)
”Irene Belserion” gently mumbled Shin so that no one could hear her.
She was beautiful and when Shin saw her, his heart leapt.
It was the first time he felt this and his heart beat at this rhythm and speed.
He understood that he had surely had what was called ”love at first sight”.
In the anime, he already thought Irene was very beautiful, but in real life, it was something else entirely.
For him, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
