"Rio likes to eat them?" Marquis Oxtail narrowed his eyes, doing his best to look even more shocked, to show just how strongly he rejected this news. "So you raise phoenixes just to feed Rio?"
Liszt glanced at the agitated Marquis Oxtail.
He more or less understood what his father was thinking. Super Magic Beasts were certainly impressive mounts, but compared with Draconic Phoenixes, they were clearly inferior—especially Draconic mounts that could be tamed from childhood.
