Chapter 59: Ignite
The woman’s frantic actions caused the Eirin to back away. Eirin could not say anything as she eyed the young man in front of her, but it seemed like even the young man was baffled by the situation.
"I said leave! Did you not hear me?"
Shade scratched the back of his head, and his eyes showed annoyance. "Why? Explain it so we can understand why you’re acting like that." Hearing the rude and arrogant Shade Cromwell say those words with a calm tone left Eirin’s mouth agape. She didn’t know the young man could talk like that. However, Scarlett Jenkins did not answer, instead, she pursed her lips, as if stopping herself from saying something.
Scarlett ruffled her hair as she moved away from the railings. "Wow, I can’t believe this," she said to herself as she held onto her temples. "Regina, that fool." The two heard her whispering which left Eirin blinking lots of times. Why was the Phoenix insulting the Queen?
The woman kept exchanging glances between Eirin and Shade before saying, "You two are the worst pair to be sent to this place, do you know that?"
"I know," Shade admitted.
"Screw it. I have loads of things on my plate right now. Bring Arthur instead and leave this place this instant."
Scarlett turned around and walked away, leaving Eirin and Shade confused. Eirin did not want to remember the terrifying mood change the woman executed in front of her.
"What the fuck was that?"
Eirin saw the annoyance in Shade’s eyes as he kept murmuring cuss words and muddling his hair on their way back to the lodging. Despite not knowing what the Phoenix wanted to convey, the teenage girl assumed that it was her fault that the Phoenix did not want to leave with them.
"There they are! What took you guys so long?"
