Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2145

Hundreds of birds responded.

Little Velquin spread its dazzling wings, sparkling in the golden light, soaring upward before bursting out of the glow and transforming into a majestic phoenix.

At that, Trevaris followed closely behind with his fire-phoenix form.

Though it wasn't the first time people had witnessed this, every phoenix appearance brought a different level of awe. Especially this time, when what emerged was unmistakably a true phoenix!

"The phoenix has been born! It is the true phoenix this time…"

If the appearance of the fire phoenix before had left room for doubt, wondering if it was just a trick of sorcery, then the actual appearance of the phoenix now silenced all those doubts in the entire capital.

"The true daughter of the Ignis family is indeed the Chosen One!" someone said, unable to stop themselves from complimenting Maeric beside them.

"Lord Maeric, with such a daughter in the Ignis family, the family will surely rise to great heights in the future!"

At that moment, Maeric, whose attention was completely drawn to the magnificent phoenix before him, couldn't bring himself to smile, despite hearing the compliments from his associate.

Indeed, the Ignis family would have risen to greatness with a daughter being the Chosen One and the Queen—if only she hadn't already completely severed ties with the family.

If receiving the symbol of their broken ties had only angered him then, seeing Serelith on the high altar today filled him with deep regret.

If she hadn't severed ties with the Ignis family, his position should've been above that of the Chancellor at the coronation ceremony today.

The reality was, he had none of that. The phoenix, born of the Ignis family, would never return to them again.

No matter what Maeric felt at that moment, Shannon had no way of knowing. From the day she left the Ignis residence, she had completely severed her ties with that family.

At that moment, she simply looked up at Velquin in his shiny true form, her initial astonishment transforming into joy.

The vast, endless white snow nearly blended her snowy hair with the ground beneath her. While the capital had seen heavy snow, the snowstorm in Northreach was akin to an icy hell.

There were no visible bodies here, for they were quickly covered by the falling snowflakes.

The thick snow had collapsed houses and trees, and the living people were huddled in the ruins, struggling to stay warm by the fire.

They knew that if the snow continued to fall like this, by tomorrow, at least half of them would lose their lives. They didn't know what they were waiting for, or if they had any future left.

Elowen closed her eyes, taking in the plight of the people across the northern lands. After a long while, ten fox tails unfurled behind as she opened her eyes.

The spiritual energy of the Ten-Tailed Elythune burst out, and her body lifted off the ground.

Her fingers traced lightly in the void, and the next second, a massive, almost celestial image appeared in the sky above Northreach.
