"Have you met a woman called Cecily and Rosa?" Ryu asked with an eager face and tone.
Echbert took a step back when Ryu zoomed on his face. "I-I . . ." he shook his head. "I'm sorry . . . I haven't encountered anyone with that name."
Ryu's shoulders fell. It might also be possible that they were already on their second Islet, or it might be possible that they were resting on a sanctuary, and they were on their way here.
Ryu sighed and scratched his head. All the possibilities and 'might' were giving him headaches.
Seraphina squeezed Ryu's shoulder and offered a comforting smile though she planted the two women's names into her memory. One of them might be his master, and the other was his mate.
Seraphina then asked Echbert the most important question, "Who's the boss of this Islet?"
Echbert's expression fell, and his face turned gloomy. "It's . . . the legendary beast, Tiamat."
". . ."
". . ."
