"Everyone, please rise," Phoenix said, "Come on, get up. We are neighbors after all, no need for all this kneeling."
The word "neighbors" she had heard from Tang Fei's mouth, found it both intimate and amusing, and she quite liked the term.
Above New Star, she had no neighbors.
Besides, she was a Princess of the Phoenix Empire, but the Empire's territory did not include the Old Land.
It was a land abandoned by the gods, and these people were refugees forsaken by the gods...
They could have chosen not to kneel, yet they knelt anyway.
This inexplicably gave Phoenix a sense of responsibility, as if not ensuring their wellbeing would be her fault...
Hearing Phoenix's call, everyone got up from the ground, and someone shouted, "Your Highness, which country are you from?"
"Phoenix Empire," Phoenix answered with a smile.
"Oh, I saw that big bird on the plane... so it was Phoenix..."
"I heard the Phoenix Empire is quite powerful. It's a pity I never had the chance to visit..."
