"Dragon-nim, it's very easy. A normal phoenix has either only black feathers or only red feathers. A royal phoenix, however, has black feathers with red streaks," Whitra explained enthusiastically.

'AH, FU*K FU*K FU*K FU*K. FU*K YOU WHITE STAR, FU*K YOU GOD OF DEATH. MY SLACKER LIFE, AHHHHH I WILL NOW GET STUCK HERE AHHHHHHHHH~,' Cale thought frantically, his mind spiraling into a mental breakdown as he fully comprehended the implications of what had just been revealed.

" STRONG NIXEE! YOU HAVE BLACK FEATHERS AND RED STREAKS! " Shouted Raon enthusiastically. The little one's excitement was palpable, and Cale could only cringe inwardly at the implications of Raon's words.

'Oh, no, why now, Raon? Why must you reveal this?' Cale thought in a panic, mentally preparing for the consequences of such an enthusiastic announcement. 'My peaceful, slacker life is about to be destroyed!'

Shickler's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief as he turned toward Cale. "Eh?! Is that true, Phoenix-nim? You're really a royal with that much power?" Shickler asked, his voice filled with a mix of awe and eagerness.

"PFTT! Poor Cale," Lock and Cage whispered to each other, their faces a mask of sympathetic amusement as they glanced at Cale. Their shared pity for his predicament was clear.

'Ha, TAKE THAT!' Alberu thought with a smirk, his eyes gleaming with a sense of triumph. 'Hehe, he made fun of me with all the paperwork. Look at him now, me ruling over a kingdom while he's stuck managing the oceans. BAHAHA!'

Choi Han's expression shifted to one of pride. 'As expected of Cale-nim,' he thought, a proud smile spreading across his face as he regarded Cale with newfound admiration.

"Tsk, unlucky bastard," Eruhaben muttered under his breath, his tone laced with a mixture of sympathy and humor. Next to him, Ron, who had been listening, couldn't help but smile benignly at Cale. Cale, trying his best to maintain his composure, was visibly struggling to suppress the chaos building around him.

"Phoenix-nim, my loyalty is yours and yours alone!" Archie suddenly declared, dramatically dropping to one knee with his hand over his heart, his expression one of utter reverence. The other whales, clearly inspired, quickly followed suit, bowing in unison and echoing his sentiment with exaggerated gestures.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Cale exclaimed, recoiling in horror at the sudden display. "Get the heck out of my face, I don't want your loyalty! Keep it to yourselves!" He was visibly rattled, desperately trying to maintain his composure. "Our work here is done. Let's just head back," he said dismissively, making heading towards the route heading for the ship

"Phoenix-nim, please, just hear us out," Shickler implored, his voice tinged with urgency. "Do you know a woman named Jour Thames?" He asked, his eyes gleaming with hopeful anticipation.

Cale stopped abruptly, his entire demeanor shifting from annoyed to intensely focused. The mention of the name had clearly struck a nerve.

"How do you know that name?" Cale demanded, his voice cold and menacing.

"Phoenix-nim, two hundred years ago, Jour-nim visited us," Shickler began, his tone somber. "It was around the time the chaos began, the start of the hunt for the phoenixes. She came to us with a message from the world tree, saying that the child she would bear in the future was destined to be the future ruler of the oceans."
