The Throne room fell silent at the mention of sealing the Phoenix of Calamity. In the chaos surrounding Arthur's mistake, one unrealistic piece of information was enough to bring it all to a brief pause.

"Hear him out? Gray, he's the son of the Arcanium. If he as much as breathes one word about our existence, the dragon king will come knocking on the Phoenix Barrier and burn everything in his path," the king argued.
"And yet he's known of our existence for a whole year," Gray added.
