[A/N: This chapter is [misleading] and will undoubtedly rub some people the wrong way. You're witnessing the [old] Ice Phoenix, who will die and be reborn—this isn't Evalyn Skye.

The Ice Phoenix was presented as a [toxic woman] with severe trust issues but had endearing traits [Kaze fell in love with]. This chapter showcases her toxic side.

Then you can see the Ice Phoenix's endearing qualities in the upcoming chapter.

Evalyn's relationship with Kaze drastically changes who she is destined to be. So please reserve judgment and enjoy this beautiful golden era arc.]
