At this moment, Phyllis's mind was filled with memories of her past. Phyllis was born into the Duke Alfred's family, the ruler of the Elven Kingdom of Wind, and was the daughter of the duke's heiress.

She was born noble, however, because her father was a common elf, Phyllis was considered a disgrace to the family and was constantly belittled and bullied at home.

Her father disappeared when she was young, and her mother fell into depression and passed away when she was five. Since then, Phyllis suffered even more mistreatment and was treated like a servant in her own home.

The only person who treated her well in the world was Grandma Ella, the old maid who had worked in her home for over fifty years. Grandma Ella had watched Phyllis grow up since she was a child and treated her like her own granddaughter. After her mother's death, Grandma Ella was the only person who was kind to Phyllis.

When Phyllis was mistreated at home, Grandma Ella would comfort her, and when she was hungry, she would secretly give her food.

Even when Phyllis was ten years old, Grandma Ella took out her limited savings to send Phyllis to the Magic Academy. Because no one in Phyllis's family was willing to spend money on her education, and they didn't even want outsiders to know of her existence.

In fact, because of this, Grandma Ella had a falling out with her family. The people in Grandma Ella's family didn't want her to spend so much money on Phyllis, considering that the tuition for the Magic Academy was expensive.

In order to repay Grandma Ella, Phyllis worked hard to study and practice magic at the Magic Academy.

Fortunately, she had astonishing talent, and with her hard work, her strength rapidly increased. At the age of twelve, she reached the fourth level, becoming the youngest intermediate magician in history. At fourteen, she reached the seventh level, becoming the youngest advanced magician. She became the idol of countless elves.

Then, at the age of fifteen, she was chosen by the Tree of Life to become the supreme Elven Holy Maiden.

When Phyllis became the Elven Holy Maiden, the position had been vacant for over sixty years, and the Elven race had been deprived of the blessings of the Tree of Life for sixty years. Trees in many forests had withered, rivers had dried up, and the land was plagued by monsters. The living conditions for the Elven race had become incredibly harsh.

So once Phyllis became the Elven Holy Maiden, she worked tirelessly to restore the vitality of the forests and drive away the monsters. After two years of governance, the forests where the elves resided restored their former lushness. The elves celebrated, and Phyllis was even hailed as the savior of the elves.

However, just a month ago, Phyllis suddenly lost her resonance with the Tree of Life and was framed for using dark magic. In the end, her powers were stripped away, and she was banished from the Elven kingdom, never to return in this lifetime.

Grandma Ella had worked hard to send her to the Magic Academy, and Phyllis had been busy traveling all over the place as the Holy Maiden. She hadn't had the chance to properly repay her, but now everything had turned out like this.

She had failed Grandma Ella's expectations.

Grandma Ella must be extremely disappointed in her.

Phyllis sat there in a daze, so overwhelmed with despair that her face didn't even show a trace of sorrow.

A voice appeared in her mind.

What meaning is there for me to live in this world?

***

In Mu Yunfan's room, he lay on the bed with a helpless sigh on his face.

Sigh, he had clearly saved such a beautiful young girl, but he hadn't said much and didn't even know how to comfort her.

How could he comfort her and help her regain her spirits?

Losing her position as the Elven Holy Maiden, losing her powers, and being banished from the kingdom, regardless of who encountered such a thing, it would be difficult to accept.

And he had only just met her, unaware of her situation, and it wasn't appropriate to casually offer comfort.

Sigh, why was it so difficult to comfort a girl?

Mu Yunfan thought about his interaction with Phyllis. Suddenly, an image of Phyllis walking alone in the forest appeared in his mind. Her eyes, devoid of any spark, became exceptionally clear.

Mu Yunfan couldn't help but frown. He had seen that expression before, it was a look of desperation, filled with emptiness.

Then Mu Yunfan remembered what he saw when he entered Phyllis' room after heating up the noodles - Phyllis had once again shown that same expression.Suddenly, unease swept over me. The person who had once shown such lifeless eyes, she had finally done something irreversible. After her parents died in a car accident, she couldn't accept the reality and ultimately took her own life.

Mu Yunfan suddenly felt a chilling sensation all over his body. He jumped out of bed and rushed out of the room. As he opened his own door, he saw that the door to Phyllis' room across the living room was open.

"Phyllis!"

Mu Yunfan rushed in, but found the room empty. He began searching the house.

No one in the bathroom, no one in the other rooms.

"Phyllis, Phyllis!"

Mu Yunfan shouted several times, but received no response. Instead, it caused complaints from neighbors in other units of the same building: "What are you making a fuss about in the middle of the night?"

Mu Yunfan's heart sank. Suddenly, he saw that the door of the house was open. Phyllis had left!

He rushed out of the house and arrived at the staircase of the building. Mu Yunfan looked at the stairs leading to the upper floors.

Could it be that Phyllis went up to the rooftop?

Just as he was about to rush up, he suddenly realized that he didn't know how long Phyllis had been there. He might not make it in time!

Mu Yunfan looked toward a nearby window and without hesitation, he ran towards it, breaking through the window and jumping out!

Mu Yunfan landed on the ground outside the building and stood still. He looked up at the rooftop, scanning the edges, but saw no one.

Mu Yunfan breathed a sigh of relief, but then suddenly noticed a two-story tower on the rooftop. At the top of the tower, silver hair fluttered in the wind. A graceful figure stood there, like a beautiful angel.

In the moonlight, she was as beautiful as an angel.

Mu Yunfan was alarmed and desperately shouted, "Phyllis!!! Don't do it!!!"

Phyllis remained motionless, as if she hadn't heard at all. Then, her body leaned outward, like a fallen angel, and she fell down.
