"Their souls are forced to merge together through special soul skill. It may not harm their lives since it is a successful operation. In return, Mia also couldn't access most of the ice phoenix's power. She may not even be able to use the true phoenix power."

"Mia… She is stronger than Phoenix Artica. She is better in terms of willpower and character. This is her gift. I could sense her care and protective feelings towards Millie. It is a very genuine and beautiful emotion. Compared to this pure feeling, Artica….

She is truly a waste."

"A phoenix who is too prideful despite her good talent. She only knows how to envy others and never truly learns." explained Jayna.

"Did you hate her? The ice phoenix Artica?" asked Angus.

"No. I neither hate nor like her. She is indeed my sister and my… child. But, I am also Jayna, the fourth princess of the Heart and your beloved wife." replied Jayna.

"Hmm… Then, what will you do to her?" asked Angus while reigning his own desire to ravage his beloved woman.

"During the phoenix soul assimilation process, we usually come to terms with each other. However, Mia and Artica have a stubborn attitude when it comes to giving in. Their process also does not come naturally, like I do."

"Although Mia has the upper hand since she owns the body, Artica could still disrupt her like last time. Moreover, Artica didn't choose Mia as her vessel on her own."

"This makes Artica have a grudge towards Mia and Millie. Phoenix's grudge is one of the most powerful curses in this world." said Jayna.

Hearing this, Angus remembers the trapped Phoenix's souls in Everwhite Basin. It could even attract fire elements from the whole region and change the climate. Angus even guesses that the Gram monster is the byproduct of the Phoenix curse.

Though there is no recorded history, Angus noticed that the whole Everwhite region should not have had a snowy climate in ancient times through their underground composition.

However, this world is magical, and powerful earth magic may change the underground crust layers. Geology science and research can only be used as references, never used as the final conclusion.

"Did you have a solution?" asked Angus.

Jayna didn't reply but only looked at Angus silently. Looking at her silence, Angus knew about her answer. As early as their first training, Jayna found Mia's unstable condition. She even asked Angus to prevent Mia from participating in the knight competition.

However, Mia is adamant about entering the competition. Not only does she not want to be left behind by others, but she also wants to gain recognition to break the hidden shackles left behind by her family.

Although her noble family no longer bothers Mia with Jayna's help, she still wants to use her own strength to break up with them. This is also why Jayna gives Mia a higher evaluation than the ice phoenix Artica.

"There is really nothing we can do. We could only hope that Mia and Artica realize that they are no longer separate but one entity. However, this is very hard and takes a long time." said Jayna.

"Even the current me still has not fully passed this process." added Jayna.

"Denying her will to enter a knight competition is also the same as denying her effort. *Sigh* What a headache?" said Angus.

"Hmmm… Maybe we could ask her family to persuade her or something?" asked Angus after thinking for a moment.

"Nostrand noble family. They are just a disgusting Leech Viscount family. They will only create more liability for Mia rather than provide a solution," said Jayna.

"What kind of family are they? I only know you forced them and offered something they couldn't refuse to solve Mia's marriage problem last time." said Angus.

Although Angus and Jayna share their bond and memories, they still respect each other and do not casually intrude on each other's private and secret memories unless they want to share them.

"The viscount Nostrand is actually similar to your and Blue family. They are a noble family with a long magician lineage. Unfortunately, they didn't have special talent or specialize in something. At most, they could only produce a few fifth-grade magicians throughout history."

"In fact, the viscount title is not granted by Father's new aristocratic system. They are also one of the fortunate ones who did not get involved in the civil war by staying neutral in the past. Even then, I hear they have already become a viscount noble family," explained Jayna.

"No one knows when or how they got their noble title. However, there are a lot of rumors that they got it through deceit and manipulation in the noble circle. There are probably some ancient records left in the Royal Library. Lilith." added Jayna.

Without further instruction, Lilith has already noticed Jayna's intention.

"Certainly, My Lady." replied Lilith while bowing before leaving the area towards the Royal Library.

"Angus, did you think there is something in Mia that we aren't aware of?" asked Jayna.

"Probably." said Angus.

As high noble, Angus and Jayna know some history about the noble title. Before the reign of King Leon, the noble title couldn't be granted easily, even if the person had a substantial meritorious deed towards the kingdom.

The only way to become noble is by inheriting the title through blood or being lucky enough to be granted by the king at that time. As a result, people attach importance to their bloodline very much.

There is even a rumor that bloodline was more important than background and qualifications at that time. However, this rumor is not without basis.

Most people from noble families are descendants of famous figures or their ancestors who were connected with powerful people in the past. In other words, there is a huge chance these families will produce a powerful high-grade genius.

Since the Nostrand family existed even before the Civil War, Angus thought this family was also a descendant of a powerful figure. There is a chance Mia has other talent besides her current Phoenix ability.

With this talent, she no longer needs to rely on her unstable phoenix power. They know it will hurt her body and mind when Mia uses Phoenix's power during the unstable merging process.

According to Fire Phoenix's memory, there are cases when the vessel goes berserk and loses its insanity forever, especially for those with powerful abilities. Ice Phoenix Artica may not be on par with Fire Phoenix regarding power.

However, she still ranks top among the other phoenixes. In fact, if she continues to develop her power, she may be on par with Fire Phoenix. Unfortunately, she is too prideful and blinded by her own vanity.

After waiting a moment, Lilith returned while pushing a cart full of books. Seeing dozens of thick books, Angus and Jayna have a sudden foreboding feeling.

"According to head butler Darius, these books should contain everything about the noble families in the Heart kingdom and its past," said Lilith.

"Urgh… Lilith, just bring those related to the Nostrand family and put the others back," said Angus.

"Urmm… I am sorry, Master. The head butler said there is no exact record book for a single noble family. If Master wants to know about the Nostrand family, Master needs to read these historical books and find fragmented information on it." replied Lilith.

"*Sigh* It seems my prediction is right. Otherwise, you will know about the Nostrand Family's past with your strict past lesson." said Angus.

"Don't bring it up. It makes me want to revive that old hag and torture her to death again." said Jayna.

"Alright, let's get this done." said Angus.

*Clang* Suddenly, the door opened as the pale sluggish Mia entered the room.

"Mia, you still need to rest, " said Millie, supporting from behind.

"No, I can't. Angus, Jayna." said Mia while looking at them.

Noticing Mia's determination and clarity in her eyes, 'She noticed our conversation and intention?' thought Angus.

'Don't underestimate Phoenix's power. Although Ice Phoenix is not as powerful as I am, she has the best perception and sense in the world, except for her heat sense. Mia probably heard our previous conversation.' said Jayna through their bond.

"Alright, you are welcome to join us. However, don't get your hopes up. There is still a chance we found nothing about your family or even worse." warned Angus seriously.

"Thank you. That's all I need." said Mia.

Seeing this, "Mia, why are you trying so hard? It's not like you are crazy for fame or recognition from others. Even without this knight competition, there are many other ways to rise to fame."

"With Jayna and my support, you may even have higher fame than the winner of the knight competition in the future. There is no need to work in desperation like this." said Angus.
