If violated, something rather unpleasant might happen.
However... "Fine, I promise you. I, Friel, swear by my True Name that I will absolutely not reveal what is said next."
Jona Velli was taken aback, but seeing the hint of cunning in Friel's eyes, she understood instantly. Her mouth curled into a wicked grin.
'So you're using that trick? Cunning Friel—Friel isn't your True Name at all.'
While criticizing her in her heart, Jona Velli also spoke up.
"I, Jona Velli, swear by my True Name that the contents of the following conversation will absolutely not be spoken of."
Seeing both dragons swear their oaths, Ailar felt slightly relieved and began to tell the story slowly.
"Actually, Sister Sasha told me your stories. That's not much, but she mainly mentioned that black dragon named Gris to me many times.
And well, she only told this to me alone. Later, I accidentally—it was really an accident, really, really an accident.
I accidentally let it slip. Then I thought, since I'd already said it, I might as well share it with my Brass Dragon companions.
In the end, it became known to everyone on Dragon Island. Sasha's suitors were furious and found out from other Brass Dragons that it was me who leaked it.
They came to demand an explanation, and later Sister Sasha found out too and gave me a harsh lesson!"
When she spoke the dragon language syllable for "harsh," Ailar placed a deliberate emphasis on it.
"Finally, one night, while no dragons were paying attention, I snuck out.
Mainly, I still wanted to see the outside world. After all, staying on Dragon Island for over seventy years was just too boring."
"Can you imagine? Spending most of the time under the care of adult dragons is no fun at all."
At that moment, Friel showed a triumphant smile while sinking her consciousness into her Inheritance Memory.
Friel directly uploaded the scene from just now, while Jona Velli contacted Sasha through the Inheritance Memory.
Jona Velli: You there?
After a short while... Sasha: What is it, Sister?
Jona Velli stopped browsing the Inheritance Memory and connected with Sasha.
Jona Velli: Did an underage dragon run away from your Dragon Island?
Sasha: How did you... Ailar is with you?!
Jona Velli: Yes, and she even told us why she left.
Sasha:...That girl... I'm speechless. Why are you Brass Dragons all such big mouths?
Jona Velli: I don't know, go ask your ancestor Bahamut.
Sasha: Uh, I don't have the status for that yet. But I heard you destroyed the Demon King City?
Jona Velli: It was just a trivial matter... The two dragons chatted idly for a while about getting stronger and their scales becoming more radiant. Notably, Sasha also asked some questions about Gris.
Sasha: Alright, Sister, let's stop for now. Wait for me for one day. In one day, I will come to find Ailar and catch up with you as well.
Jona Velli: No problem, it's been many years since we last met.
When the time comes, we won't stop until we're drunk.
Sasha: Good, then... I'm hanging up.
Jona Velli: Got it! Wait, I forgot to mention something. In three days, I will officially establish an Empire and hold a coronation ceremony. Jie jie jie... *Silence*
Jona Velli felt a slight touch of impatience.
Jona Velli: Well? What's the meaning of your silence?
After a brief silence.
Sasha: Sister, since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for Chromatic Dragon establishing an Empire.
I know why you are establishing an Empire, but please, whatever you do, do not start an unjust war. Otherwise, I fear we might meet as enemies on the battlefield.
I don't want to see you in disaster, following in the footsteps of the Titanss and the Great Dragons.
Jona Velli sneered disdainfully: Heh, justice? What is justice? What is evil?
A wolf eats meat when it's hungry, and a sheep eats grass when it's hungry. It is nothing more than the rules of nature.
So, this is why Chromatic Dragon despise Metal Dragons so much—hypocrites.
Of course, this doesn't include you; I still have a good impression of you.
Besides, regarding those Ancient Dragons, I only have one thing to say: weak.
The truly strong will never fail.
Jona Velli showed confidence—an unparalleled confidence.
This was no longer just the pride of a dragon or excessive conceit, but absolute confidence in her own power.
It was precisely because she knew exactly how strong she was that she could better measure her actions.
On Dragon Island, Sasha, who was lying by the Dragon Heart Lake, opened her eyes. She stared blankly at the underage Metal Dragons frolicking in the lake.
"In the future, I will definitely protect you, Sister."
On the other side, in the Dragon Palace of White Crystal City.
As soon as Jona Velli opened her eyes, she saw the two dragons talking.
"By the way, how do you know so much about us?"
"Uh, because I often browse the inheritance videos you upload."
Ailar spoke truthfully. Friel's movements paused, followed by astonishment.
*Ding—*
The notification sound for an update from a followed dragon rang in Ailar's mind.
Ailar was stunned. she looked at Friel with inquiry, then realization, and finally a mischievous grin.
She subconsciously assumed Friel had uploaded the video of her comforting Jona Velli just now.
"Uh... you guys chat first, I'm going to sleep for a bit~ Heehee~"
"Wait a—"
Before Friel could finish, Ailar had already closed her eyes, sinking her consciousness into the Inheritance Memory.
"Uh-oh."
Friel spread her hands toward Jona Velli.
"Seems like it's over."
"What's wrong?"
Jona Velli didn't quite understand what Friel meant.
"I uploaded the scene from just now into the inheritance skill, and Ailar follows me. As soon as I updated, she received a notification."
Jona Velli's eyes widened.
"Wait? Weren't you going to report her to Sasha?"
This time it was Friel who was confused.
"Didn't you upload it to the Inheritance Terminal too?"
The two dragons stared at each other, their nerves quickly connecting as they said in unison.
"Uh-oh, we played it too big."
A moment later, Ailar snapped her eyes open. First in bewilderment, then she glared at Friel with a face full of anger.
"You... you actually..."
"What about me?"
Friel didn't show the slightest hint of embarrassment.
"How could you do this? My god, aren't you ashamed of being untrustworthy?"
Wait, why didn't you receive punishment for breaking your oath?"
"Ashamed? Why would I, who am so powerful, have such an emotion? That is just an emotion that appears when the weak have no face to confront their mistakes.
I am the Flame Tyrant Friel. For me, such redundant emotions are merely burdens.
As for why I didn't receive punishment?"
Friel wore a meaningful expression.
"Guess."
(Not in a good state, can the sickness demon please stay away from me!)
