"No necessary connection? How so?" Manina stared straight at the Red Dragon Queen, curious to hear how these giant dragons would explain themselves.
"Of course there's no necessary connection," the Red Dragon Queen responded seriously. "In our Giant Dragon Clan, offspring of dragons residing overseas often send gifts to the direct descendants of the Dragon Emperor and the Dragon King if they wish to return to Dragon Island."
"It's possible that the Blue Star humans knew of this tradition, so when pretending to be a dragon offspring, they too wanted to offer a gift, but by coincidence chose Princess Coco."

If the Blue Star human had chosen my son when presenting the gift, would you also accuse me of colluding with the Blue Star humans?"
