You want to talk? May I ask your name? And my name is just Rust. I don't have a middle name or a sir name.

　I'm not sure what you mean by "ancestral lineage," but by two dragons I assume you mean Seyrukh and Anne. If that's the case, you can't say you've mistaken them for someone else. ....... The world is dying, right? Well, not Her Highness Lily, I mean. The three unrighteous seats of power wanted that too. I remember she helped Seiluk to get the point.
