Chapter 391: The Fall Of Clouds

"The Clouds have begun their fall," Danielle fixed her eyes on her daughter, casually saying the words that brought a change to Stella's face. She lifted a cup of coffee at her speed, sipping more of it.

Meiya and Stella gawked at the Madame with dilated eyes, parted lips, and indescribable fear rocked their eyes. Their lovely curves trembled, and their blooming feelings didn't allow them to sit by the table.

"How come?!" Meiya raised her voice, precisely knowing what her mother's words meant, foreboding even more chaos to Alex's continent.

Only Alex was left clueless, his vision skipping from Danielle to Meiya, then from Stella to Auberon, only to gaze back at the Madame of this mansion, for no one could bother with him right now.

Danielle replied after coffee went down her throat, "It's been the same as far as we can look back to our history. Nothing changed until last year. Our clouds, islands, homes, and lands have always been slowly dropping."

After those words, Alex could grasp the situation, the main point of the talk, and the cause of his beloveds' reactions. He inferred that the Winged Realm was in plight, for their world had slowly lowered its status to the mortal realm.

At least, that was how it sounded in Alex's ears.

Danielle's following words confirmed his thoughts, "The highest seats of Ten Families were aware of it. It's a secret passed from leader to leader, after all. The fall was slow and not threatening to our lives.

Our ancestors believed that we, the future generations, would find a purpose in our bloodline in that fall. They studied the fall, only to find nothing. They couldn't find any mechanisms or cause of that fall, disappointingly leaving it all to the future generations.

Last year, the clouds dropped significantly. And they never stopped. They keep falling; their destination is probably the continent below us."

Alex learned how many dangers came from that simple-sounding event.

One of them was a possible crack in dimensions, which would open a way for others to infiltrate the Winged People. There was also a chance that every winged would lose their strength in the mortal continent without their realm to back them up.

After all, it could be like them not fulfilling their duty. Heavens would strap off their privileges and divine bloodline, bringing them closer to humans.

"It's not something we should be worried about, for now, at least," Auberon added, telling his young family members that the main families estimated the fall to the mortal continent, "Even if the fall suddenly picks up the pace, we still have many years ahead of yourself."

Meiya and Stella looked at them with understanding. And while the sloth girl contemplated deeply about possible future events related to her and her race, Meiya stood up, pointing her slender finger at her future husband.

"It just gives us more reason to appreciate the presence of Alexander! He should be able to tread freely in our realm and help us look for clues. He has different eyes and different senses!

If we combine them, we might find answers," Meiya explained, putting her hands on her waist as she couldn't believe how short-sighted other families could get.

Danielle and Auberon shook their heads, "He's low level, and his energies might be too jarring for knowledgeable people. Understand it and sit down."

"Pointless!" Meiya slammed her hand on the table before taking a seat, for her mother's eyes forced her to drop that soft ass on the chair.

Auberon chuckled faintly, sitting with his arms crossed like his daughter. Yet, much calmer emotions swirled around him, "Wars are pointless, too, because no side ever wins. One death on either side is a loss already.

Yet, people are driven to fight, kill, and plunder. The same goes for us, people with hearts. We carry the holiness, but even that element can't soothe, for example, our greed and envy and stop evil from sprouting from within. It's a part of nature, Meiya. If someone from our race finds Alexander's presence dangerous, he's the right to expel him.

Alexander has our family's backing, so it can only be done through battle. Regardless of how unfair and asinine it might be, Alex will have only two options, fight or leave."

Of course, as Alex's Winged Girls came from a prominent house, he had enough land to casually tread on… At least, that was how Alex thought.

Yet, Stella ensured Alexander understood that Auberon's harem was greatly different from his. While Stella's aunts were friendly despite their sharp personalities, that was only limited to Danielle's children.

Other wives and their offspring were always in the shadows of those aunts and Meiya, so they would use all chances to bite at them.

Alexander Deathwill Mao sounded like a good beating bag.

"I barely have any place here, huh," Alex whispered faintly, knowing that Meiya and Stella's mansion was probably the only place he could freely move in and around. Even taking a stroll to Danielle and Auberon's mansion could potentially endanger his life in the Winged Realm.

"My wings feel uncomfortable by just imagining you locked with these two in the house, having all good stuff delivered to you," Danielle brought her hand to her forehead, voicing her thoughts.

In a house, Alex could taste the cuisine of the winged people, Meiya and Stella. Other stuff would lose a lot of value, so it sounded like Alex could only try getting his hands on the complex healing skills to enhance his understanding of Stella's Ultimate Skill.

But that was work! Danielle wanted her daughter, granddaughter, and their beloved to have some fun first for a good while.

She pondered with her eyes shut, then slightly opened her eyes, "You can try sneaking around the city like lovers, can't you? Well. Tell me first whether you have some wishes, Alexander.

I like the coffee," Danielle said, drawing a nod of approval from her husband.

Alex chuckled, "Thank you, mother-in-law. I thought we could get some quests for people for the mortal continent. Our alliance needs strength to fight against the antagonists."

"Antagonists…" Danielle and Auberon whispered in tandem.
