"The King of Birds?"


"Father of all birds? Aren't all birds babies?"


While the humans looked at the two birds in bewilderment, a small bird jumped out of Lasilia's palm. The Shryden was the largest of the parrots, and the little bird was no more than two fingers tall. Compared to the Duke of Shryden, the little bird looked more like a bug than a bird. As the little bird came down to the floor, the Duke of Shryden lay flat on the floor to lower his eyes.


"Pippi. Beep."


The little bird muttered something and put his forehead on Shryden's forehead. It was difficult to pinpoint, but a very mysterious feeling touched her skin.


"Oh my gosh! It's more like a fairy tale than a real fairy tale, Her Majesty."


Yvette whispered as she tugged on Lasilia's clothes. It was absurd, but it seemed that she didn't even know what she was doing because she was so distracted by what was unfolding in front of her eyes.


"I know."


After a while, the little bird removed its forehead. Then, it flapped its small wings towards Lasilia and cried out. She was told to pick him up again and put him in her hands. The Duke of Shryden shook his head angrily and fell flat.


"Oh, I'll take you there!"


The people were surprised by those words. Although Shryden was a parrot, and a very good copyist, he was still a bird. It felt like imitating human speech, but she didn't think he would be able to talk like a human. But now he really spoke. If you covered your eyes, you would have thought it was a person, not a bird.


"It seems a bit different."


As Lasilia spoke her words, Shryden let out a terribly human cough, ahem.


"Yes. The father of all birds gave me the power to speak human words. So, from now on, I am taking the place of his father's mouth."


"What? Birds have that kind of power?"


"Is that all there is to it? He is still young and he is not able to use all his strength."


"It's amazing."


"And... I know, right. It's really amazing. No, it is mysterious."
