After Nao left, Ember entered the room. She flicked her hand, and a string of flames lit up the room, starting from her and reaching the end.
"Will you marry me, Ember?"
The light from her flames illuminated Lawrend, who was holding a pair of odd-looking rings in his fingers.
"Yes, Master."
Ember maintained a calm demeanor as she walked towards him and let Lawrend put on the ring on her finger. She lifted it up and let the flames above her bring color to its features.
"This is a ring made of phoenix feathers. How?"
Ember turned to Lawrend. She couldn't contain the rumbling emotions in her heart any longer. From what she knew, phoenixes were truly extinct from the world.
"I used the Ignis Bloodline to look for remaining traces of phoenixes. This was hidden very deep in a closed cave. There was no way to access it except digging for it. The entrance had long been sealed."
"So it's from a phoenix nest?"
"Correct."
