Listening to Natasha's words, Aster nearly choked with the steak he was munching.
'Out of all the possible answers of course it had to be really close to the ti I have been living in this world', he thought.
Still, he was able to not show his surprise on his face, in exchange the one who had the more troubled expression was none other than Mylene.
Without getting up from Aster's lap, Kana patted Mylene's shoulder to get her attention.
"Are you worried about your family sister Mylene… you can stay with and big brother, if you want to".
Mylene saw Kana's adorable face and she smiled at her.
"I'm only worried about my grandmother… she was the one that taught rune mastering and while the rest of my family probably celebrated my "demise", I'm pretty sure she has been looking for even after all this ti".
Kana nodded before she turned to see Aster.
"Don't worry, I'm sure big brother will help you reunite with her, so she can co live with us too, right big brother~".
Aster patted Kana's head, while he looked Mylene directly into her eyes.
"Sure, she is your sister and my friend after all".
"Woah, so you are the gentle sweet-talking type despite your looks and aura, can't say I don't like the contrast of it though~", Natasha who had pretty much zero restraints, mumbled while she took a big spoon of a dessert.
"Young miss, please be more reserved…", her protector on the other hand, could feel a headache coming her way.
Mylene flushed a bit, but she didn't say anything and limited to drink from her cup.
Aster on the other hand chuckled, he didn't take Natasha's words personally, what did get his attention was the part "despite your looks".
"What, do I look like so kind of maniac in your eyes?", he asked.
But Natasha simply shrugged.
"Not really, in fact, for a Draconant I think you are pretty chill, also the fact that, that little girl is so comfortable around you speaks by itself~".
"Draconant?".
"Ah right, sorry I keep forgetting you aren't from a Divine Firmant, I guess in the mortal planes all the dragon species are called dragons, if my eyes don't fail you descend from a Darkness Desolation Dragon, right?".
Aster limited to nod, ignoring how was Natasha able to point the race from which the Drage family descends, which was strange considering he didn't use destruction as he didn't have that attribute.
Natasha saw the slight confusion in Aster's eyes and she licked her lips.
"If you want, I don't mind giving you so private "lessons" hehehe~".
"Ahem, young miss, don't make call your mother…", her protector, cleared her throat as she glared at Aster, making Natasha pout.
"Whatever… there are many species and subspecies, but the main divisions are, Draconant, which have practically the sa characteristics of true dragons, four limbs, wings and a strong body, but with only four claws, Darkness Desolation Dragons fall in that category".
"The other categories are, Lindwyrm, Wyvern, Drake, Amphiteres and Crysopels, there are other categories, like that little Wyrm that seems to have taken a liking to you though it has the potential to evolve into a Lynwyrm I guess, but only those five are descendants of true five clawed dragons who are a basically a legend in the current age".
"By the way, my Sun Graceful clan and that block of ice's Moon Stream Luan clan descend from real phoenixes, we are pretty compatible don't you think~", said Natasha as she fluttered her pretty long eyelashes.
Aster was in a bit of a loss, not due to her flirting, but because he realized he knew nothing about his own lineage, Lilia hasn't ntioning anything like that, so she probably doesn't know about it too.
'I wonder what would those guy's faces be like, if they knew they are just a subspecies and not the real deal', he thought.
According to Lilia, the Drage family took pride in their ascendence, but now it turns out, Darkness Desolation Dragon, wasn't even a "Dragon", in all the aning of the word.
"Wait, then what is a Dark Armageddon Dragon, is it another Draconant species?", he asked.
Back then, when Lilia t Aria, she purposedly changed the na of the dragon from which the Drage family descended, as a trial to see if she was a honey trap, prepared by soone, only now Aster realized he haven't heard about that na up to this day, nor he asked his mother why did she know about it.
"You have a Dark Armageddon Dragon in your family tree!", let alone Natasha or Charlotte, even Ixas nearly fell from his chair.
'D-Damn… that would explain a lot of things', thought Mylene, rembering the few tis she has seen Lilia showing so of her battle abilities, which by this point where on par with Darkness Desolation Dragons that have taken human form, in other words progenitors of a clan or family, and she wasn't even close to be an adult in dragon standards at least.
"No, I jut happened to have heard that na before, and I suddenly rembered, but why is it so shocking?", to avoid misunderstandings, Aster imdiately elaborated.
The slight tension that was lingering in the atmosphere dissipated.
"A Dark Armageddon Dragon is a true dragon… the dragon of the end to be more exact, not too much is known about true dragons, and the sa applies to real phoenixes, but following the heavenly law there is always a ying and a yang", said Charlotte wanting to join the conversation.
But Natasha took over a second later.
"A White Genesis Dragon, or the dragon of the beginning would be their counterpart, unfortunately I don't know anything else, I suggest you… no it's possible that your "Heavenly Quadrant" is connected to the Imperdra Divine Firmant where the biggest clans of dragon subspecies reside, they are one of our neighbors, maybe I can give you a guided tour soday~".
Charlotte softly snorted, but then a little smile flourished in her face as she took out a book with a scaled cover, which she then handed to Aster.
"Natasha might now the nas, but I bet she doesn't know the differences between the species, I got this book from the library of my family, you can read it while we are in this secret realm".
Aster gladly accepted the book, although he just got to know so important information, he had more questions than answers right now, like how co his mother knew the na of a true dragon species.
"Thanks, to both of you".
In a rare occasion, Charlotte smiled upon being thanked by Aster, the sa happened to Natasha, which made Aster rember he had another question for them.
"Changing the subject, a bit, why do you two suddenly said you wanted to marry , I nearly killed you two in that fight you know?".
The information regarding dragon classifications is probably public, Mylene confird that what they told him was true, through a sound transmission, so while for him was valuable information, Mylene was going to tell him now that the restrictions over her were a bit loose in the secret realm.
But those two had offered intel about the woman form the Storm Roc family, in exchange of just tagging along with him, and that was a whole different situation.
Natasha and Charlotte stared at each other, before they answered.
"Well, you stood up against that bitch without any fear… also your yang looks deliciously strong and you are flaunting it just like a peacock does with its feathers, without any restrain, how do you expect a pure maiden like to resist the temptation, I bet even those boring uptight won back at ho would be head over heels for you~", Natasha pointed out one of the many reasons he's been wanting to find a dual cultivation technique, his yang kept getting stronger the more his bloodline evolved, and that was bound to draw attention.
Just like how Aria looked extrely appealing to the mbers of the other gender, before she started giving Aster, he ying energy in a daily basis, he will look "tempting" to won, while it wasn't a problem now, it can beco one if not properly dealt with.
"Mm… unlike those ying oriented arrogant weak idiots, or the silk pants narcissists, the chances of a male existence with a yang which isn't detrintal to my Moon Stream constitution, are one in countless of millions, and the chance of eting him are even lower, so I won't let this chance get away without putting up a fight", mumbled Charlotte.
Aster didn't know whether he should laugh or cry, those two were pretty shaless in what love regards, it was quite weird to listen to girls being so open about what this subject, yet he couldn't help but find it rather interesting.
'Well, in the myths phoenixes are all females, maybe they have lived in an all-female environnt, only hearing about boys by their parents or sothing like that, or they recently got to know so', concluded Aster.
"Just to be clear, I already have a partner, well to be more accurately I have quite a few and they are my everything, also I don't feel that way about you to, that being said, if you want to tag along, I don't mind, jut be aware of that".
To his surprise the answer he got from those two was pretty different to what he expected.
"Oh, that's fine I would be weirded out if you were single, it just ans I'll have to put in so effort to earn so love hehehe~".
"The guys that my aunties introduced to , already had so partners and they were losers, I don't mind sharing as long as I get the sa amount of attention from my partner".
"Young lady, you need quite a few of ying oriented partners to nurture your constitution, please think about it", said her protector.
"Young miss, you deserve a life partner who dedicates his heart exclusively to you, what would Lady Mirelia say, if you were part of so guy's harem".
Aster chuckled, apparently those two's circumstances were pretty complicated, in any case he had nothing else to discuss with them right now, so he walked towards his room to read the book followed by the girls.
"Rest, we'll leave at night with Espi's help", said Aster as he left.
"If you need so explanations about the book, just call ~", of course Natasha didn't miss the chance to flirt with him, while Charlotte simply nodded at Aster.
"Mm, see you later".
