Firm Grasp

"Dear, the inheritors of the Fire Phoenix Clan didn't seem bad."

Shirley's soft and melodious voice echoed beside Davis, causing him to turn to look at her while they were flying back to their island.

"Why do you say so?"

"Hehe~" Shirley awkwardly giggled, "I don't have any evidence, but the two female inheritors, Hirona and Sierra, particularly seemed nice. Although they were haughty, I think they aren't bad people."

"You do know those two are probably the reason why the Vermilion Bird Clan and Blue Luan Clan are in steep decline, right?"

"…" Shirley became stumped.

She couldn't help but remember Zora Luan and her home, which is located within the Aurora Cloud Gate. Only through the Aurora Cloud Gate's graces were they still surviving to this day. If not, they could've been wiped out by the Fire Phoenix Clan.

Realizing this, she couldn't help but deflate, her expression wilting like a flower behind her veil.
