Short filmTranscript
00:03I married the Black Dragon Commander.
00:05We were said to be 100% compatible, though he was forced into it.
00:10For two years, he never interested in me.
00:14Are we doing this or not? I have matters to attend to.
00:19Let's not. You go ahead.
00:21Are you sure?
00:23Absolutely sure.
00:24He studied me. He put on his military uniform.
00:27As soon as he left, I dialed the Covenant.
00:34What is going on?
00:36We apologize, Ms. Lyra.
00:38Database upgrade revealed a matching error.
00:40Commander Kalen is not your true soulmate.
00:43We've been married for two years, and you're only telling me now?
00:46We're sorry. He still has an 80% compatibility with you.
00:49Theoretically, your marriage shouldn't be affected.
00:52You said theoretically.
00:53What about in reality?
00:55In reality, your 100% match is someone else.
00:59Who?
01:00We're retrieving the corrupted file.
01:03Has Kalen been notified?
01:05Not yet. He blocked us.
01:07Yeah, Kalen loathed for assigning him a human wife.
01:10Don't tell him yet. I'll handle it.
01:12We are counting on you, Lyra.
01:14This was a dragon-ruled kingdom.
01:16Kalen was its all-powerful High Commander.
01:19I was a human, stranded here five years ago.
01:23When the Bureau found me, I agreed to the match at once.
01:27I wanted his connections to go home, but Kalen didn't want me.
01:32He only agreed because of the 100% compatibility claim.
01:37I tried everything to win him over, to seduce him.
01:42He hated every move.
01:44I even threatened to call him impotent if he refused.
01:47I'll tell everyone you're frigid.
01:48He endured my touch, cold and resentful.
01:51Until today, the truth came out.
02:08I stopped messaging Kalen after that call.
02:11A week later, he messaged first.
02:13I've sent a physician to check you.
02:15I'm not sick.
02:17The housekeeper said you've been distracted.
02:19You stopped shopping. Are you well?
02:21I'm fine.
02:23Fine.
02:23Before, I'd boldly say I loved him or wanted him.
02:28Now I said nothing.
02:30Kalen typed long, then sent.
02:34I'm coming home tomorrow.
02:38So soon?
02:39No need to rush.
02:40I'm fine. Focus on your duty.
02:42The kingdom needs you.
02:42Don't worry about us.
02:47Kalen didn't reply.
02:48Half an hour later, he walked in.
02:51He looked like he'd raced through a storm to get to me.
02:54He didn't even take off his uniform.
02:56He pressed his hand to my forehead.
02:58Temperature on normal.
03:00Breathing normal.
03:01Scent normal.
03:03You're not sick?
03:04I keep telling you I'm fine.
03:07Then why have you stopped going out?
03:08Your favorite brand drops new parses every Monday.
03:12You used to come home loaded with bags.
03:14Trying to save you some money.
03:16Whatever you spend, I can earn back.
03:18We didn't marry for me to Prince Penny.
03:20I couldn't tell him that we would be divorced soon enough.
03:23In the silence, Kalen swept me into his arms toward the bedroom.
03:28You always wanted me to wear this uniform while we do something.
03:31Let's do it today.
03:32Just this once.
03:35You must be exhausted from work.
03:37I'd be a beast if I jumped all over you the minute you walked through the door.
03:40You rest.
03:41I'm not that thirsty.
03:42I'll cook for you.
03:43I scurried to the kitchen.
03:45Glancing back, I saw Kalen standing still.
03:48His expression lost.
03:50A moment later, he followed me to the kitchen.
03:54An urgent matter arose.
03:55I have to go back.
03:58Go ahead.
03:59I'll return as soon as I'm done.
04:01Don't rush.
04:02Handle your duties.
04:03Since you're cooking yourself, I have to enjoy this meal.
04:10Shall I make it and bring it over?
04:13You're always running back and forth.
04:15It's too much.
04:16Very well.
04:18I intended it as an excuse, but he accepted.
04:22Was he not feeling well?
04:23As he left, I handed the cooking to the chef.
04:26When the meal was ready, I headed to headquarters.
04:29The building was massive.
04:32Radiating the same suffocating pressure as Kalen.
04:37Meet me at the old spot.
04:38Send your adjunct to pick this up.
04:40Come inside.
04:43I've authorized your entry.
04:45Isn't that wrong?
04:46This is top secret.
04:48No outsiders allowed in.
04:49It's fine.
04:50No one will dare stop you.
04:52I usually wait at the gate.
04:57Just come in.
04:59Perhaps I was mistaken, but his voice sounded softer.
05:03I braced myself and walked in.
05:06Every eye in the building turned to me.
05:09The draconic guards were in their element here.
05:12A human in these halls was an anomaly.
05:15Hey, how did you get in?
05:16Are the guards slacking?
05:17Upon learning I was Kalen's wife, they peered at me with contempt.
05:23Just her?
05:24I caught their disdain.
05:26Kalen's marriage was clearly a joke to them.
05:31Fine, you were supposed to eat with me.
05:33How could you forget again?
05:34Sorry, I got caught up at work.
05:36What kind of excuse is that?
05:38It was Isolde, a lovely siren, whose real shape is a nightingale.
05:43That if not for the 100% match, she would have been his partner.
05:49Kalen was listening to Isolde's tantrum when his nostrils flared.
05:55You're here.
05:59I must clarify, the situation isn't what you think.
06:02My apologies.
06:02I'll leave you to it.
06:04I'm off.
06:05Kalen, if you're busy, don't worry about coming home tonight.
06:08I won't leave the lights on.
06:14The data is still being restored, but he definitely has one.
06:17Understood.
06:18I think I know who it is.
06:20Fix it faster.
06:21Your efficiency is a disaster.
06:23Can't you work overtime?
06:24Miss Lyra, your data restoration is almost complete.
06:27I will send your 100% matches info immediately.
06:30Fine.
06:32I spent the evening in solitary bliss.
06:36Unexpectedly, Kalen returned.
06:40Why are you back?
06:43This is my home.
06:45Can't I come home?
06:46I didn't mean that.
06:49Lyra, there's nothing between Islot and me.
06:51It was never like that.
06:53She's just a comrade.
06:55Today's her birthday.
06:56She invited me, and I thought it was a group dinner.
06:58I lost track of time, so she came looking for me.
07:01It's no big deal.
07:02You stood her up.
07:03Did you apologize properly?
07:05I don't know her, but girls are all the same.
07:08Just sweet talk her.
07:09She'll get over it.
07:10Are you like that, too?
07:13I don't need cattling.
07:15I'm fine.
07:23Wait.
07:24The protection.
07:26What?
07:29A condom.
07:30When did you buy this?
07:32Today.
07:33Why?
07:35Haven't you always wanted a child?
07:37I've changed my mind.
07:38I'm young.
07:39Let's wait.
07:40You've been truly weird lately.
07:42Have I?
07:44Yes.
07:46You used to make the first move every time.
07:48But tonight, no matter how I kissed you, you just shut down.
07:52You used to call me my love nonstop.
07:54Bug me at work.
07:56Tease me about my muscles.
07:58Now you only use my name.
08:00What's going on with you?
08:01Kalen.
08:02I want a divorce.
08:03What?
08:05Why?
08:06I don't think we're right for each other.
08:08Our status.
08:10Our backgrounds.
08:11They just don't match.
08:13The compatibility bond says we're perfect together.
08:16But compatibility isn't absolute.
08:19It's just data.
08:20And we are real people.
08:21You and I can't just settle for some number.
08:24Settle.
08:27So, that's how you see it.
08:29His eyes darkened right away.
08:31The draconic horns that had started to show slowly retreated.
08:35Kalen stood up and started getting dressed.
08:38I need some space.
08:39He left for the balcony without another word.
08:42Under the moonlight, he had forgotten to retract the tail.
08:45It hung loose behind.
08:47When I was young, I had a dog.
08:49When it was happy, its tail would wag.
08:52When it was sad, it would hang.
08:54Just like that.
08:55Kalen was miserable.
08:57Perhaps the divorce request was too sudden.
09:00For a high commander, a perfect, stable marriage was part of his prestige.
09:04Suddenly ending it would bring a torrent of political pressure.
09:08When Kalen returned, he asked again.
09:11Are you sure you want a divorce?
09:13Yes.
09:13But no rush.
09:15I'll go along with whatever you arrange.
09:17It'll take some time, true.
09:20My father's birthday dinner is in a few days.
09:23Come with me.
09:24Don't upset him.
09:25We'll talk about everything else after.
09:27That's fine.
09:28I can do that.
09:29So, everything you said before, was it all a lie?
09:34What?
09:35I didn't hear that.
09:37Nothing.
09:37Go to sleep.
09:38Good night.
09:39He turned and walked out of the bedroom.
09:41The Covenant sent over the data on my real match.
09:44Like me, he was human.
09:46His name was Dorian, a young, genius scientist.
09:50He was nearly Kalen's height and build.
09:52In this world of powerful beastmen,
09:55he earned his high status and fortune with his brilliant mind alone.
09:59The file had his contact info,
10:02which meant he already knew I existed.
10:05They only leave their details if one side is willing to recognize the other.
10:09But I didn't reach out to Dorian.
10:11I was still Kalen's wife.
10:13I didn't want to make things messy.
10:15Besides, I would eventually return to my own world.
10:19No need to write more tragedy into my story.
10:22On the weekend, Kalen came to pick me up for the banquet.
10:26You'll have to put up with some things today.
10:28We have to act like we're deeply in love.
10:32Don't worry.
10:33My eyes will be only for you.
10:35One more thing.
10:37My brother's coming back.
10:39You have a brother?
10:41Why have you never mentioned him?
10:43He's my half-brother.
10:44My mother's son from her first marriage.
10:47He's human.
10:49Human?
10:50We reached the estate.
10:52His father had been a powerful figure.
10:54And the banquet was filled with high society.
10:57I held on to Kalen's arm, ignoring all the stares.
11:02Kalen, is this your 100% match?
11:05What does a perfect bond feel like?
11:09Tell us.
11:10Right.
11:1070% is already rare enough.
11:13I'd rather not say.
11:14I'd hate to make you jealous.
11:16You're such a tease.
11:18But honestly, we're all envious.
11:20They say real soulmates feel something physical the second they meet.
11:24Yeah, a sudden spark, a racing heart.
11:27Is that what it's like?
11:28It was the first time I'd heard that.
11:31I thought back to the first time I met Kalen.
11:34None of that had happened.
11:36If he hadn't felt it either, wouldn't he have figured out the data was wrong?
11:41I looked up at him, but his face was totally calm.
11:45It's more than that.
11:47It's an overwhelming urge to possess the other or be possessed.
11:51His words trailed off, and he lowered his head, watching me.
11:56The banquet began.
11:57The host stepped onto the stage.
12:00I have called you here for an urgent announcement.
12:02My wife passed away long ago.
12:06Before she married me, she had a son.
12:08After she passed away, her eldest son stayed with his grandmother.
12:12He came to live with us after my mother-in-law died.
12:15All these years later, we've grown as close as real father and son.
12:20Today, I officially declare him a true member of the family of Ashwarren.
12:25Kalen seemed to have expected this.
12:27Does this not bother you?
12:30Bother me?
12:31He's human, yet he's to be your brother.
12:34My mother was human.
12:36You are human.
12:37His candor surprised me.
12:39Come, Dorian.
12:40Come meet everyone.
12:41At the sound of his name, my mind went blank.
12:45The air seemed to shift.
12:47I looked up and saw him.
12:49Dorian.
12:50My true 100% match.
12:53Dorian's gaze cut through the crowd, locking straight onto me.
12:57In that split second, my heart seized.
13:01Every cell in me screaming to merge with him.
13:04But it was only a flicker.
13:06I was human.
13:07And humans had the will to master their base instincts.
13:11Dorian's eyes fell on my arms, still entwined with Kalen's.
13:15His face, unreadable.
13:17He had control over himself as well.
13:20The patriarch guided Dorian through the crowd until they reached us.
13:25Three years, brother.
13:26You've grown.
13:27Are you almost 1.9 meters now?
13:29Nearly.
13:301.89.
13:31You locked yourself away for three years for your research and didn't even come home.
13:35But I am back now.
13:36This is Lyra, my wife.
13:38I invited you to the wedding, but you were too busy.
13:41My bad.
13:42I'll make it up to you with three drinks.
13:44Fair enough.
13:45I'll drink with you today.
13:46Lyra, you don't mind?
13:48Go ahead.
13:49Don't worry about me.
13:50After a few rounds of wine, Dorian's faint, ethereal scent seemed to seep into my bones.
13:55I excused myself to the terrace for air.
13:58The cool breeze cleared my head.
14:01Moments later, footsteps approached.
14:03It was Dorian.
14:04Lyra.
14:06May I call you that?
14:07I was always curious why my soulmate never contacted me.
14:11Seeing you now, I understand.
14:12I laughed awkwardly.
14:14The Covenant messed up the data.
14:15I thought I was a perfect match with Caelan.
14:18I see.
14:19It isn't the first time they've made a mistake.
14:21But Caelan doesn't know, does he?
14:22We should keep it between us.
14:24He doesn't?
14:25Dorian raised an eyebrow.
14:27I had to admit, back in my original world, Dorian would have been my ideal type.
14:33The Covenant is panicking over how to break it to him.
14:38Dorian scoffed.
14:39How incompetent.
14:40Sounds like they've never been crushed by the grind of a real career.
14:43Exactly!
14:44If I were their boss, I'd make them work 996 schedules.
14:47At their efficiency, even 007 wouldn't save them.
14:50Wait.
14:52You know that too?
14:53How could you?
14:54I thought you grew up here.
14:56Maybe I didn't even get here as early as you did.
14:59When did you come here?
15:01Five years ago.
15:02You?
15:03Dorian's polished facade cracked.
15:05A while before that.
15:07His posture relaxing.
15:08How have you been holding up in this draconic hellhole?
15:10It's insane.
15:11I want to go home.
15:13Soon.
15:14What?
15:15The human world and the Beastmen world exist in separate spatial dimensions.
15:19My father brought me here.
15:20I've been doing this research to find a way to travel between the two realms.
15:23The results are promising.
15:25We should be able to return shortly.
15:27Dorian!
15:28My God!
15:29Are you a saint?
15:31Just a little bit of science.
15:33It's all in the math.
15:34Dorian flashed a hand gesture from our original world.
15:37Back home, I was the youngest researcher published in the journals.
15:40It was you?
15:43I saw your headlines!
15:44I remembered a brilliant young prodigy whose face was plastered everywhere.
15:50Now, the pride of the scientific world sat before me, plotting our escape.
15:58Lila, there you are.
16:00Kaelin stepped out of the darkness.
16:02Kaelin's demeanor had shifted from gentle to icy.
16:06His eyes were the golden slitted pupils of a black dragon.
16:10He fixed on Dorian with predatory intent.
16:14Dorian didn't flinch.
16:15Lila and I were just reminiscing.
16:17Father is still waiting for you.
16:19Feel free to visit my lab whenever you like.
16:24Get him away from you.
16:26Kaelin pulled me against him.
16:28His hand gripped where Dorian had just brushed.
16:32What were you talking about?
16:34You seemed quite happy.
16:37Just some lab work?
16:39His voice was calm.
16:40Are you going to his laboratory?
16:42But the air around them crackled with tension.
16:45I gritted my teeth, forcing myself to remain calm.
16:50Perhaps...
16:51It was the first time I truly felt the sheer terrifying power of the dragon.
16:58He was human-shaped, yet I could almost feel his invisible claws grazing my skin,
17:05marking me as his property.
17:07His possessiveness had erupted.
17:09I knew it was not love.
17:12Visiting Dorian's laboratory was non-negotiable.
17:16I needed to see that machine.
17:17My only ticket back to my own world.
17:20The moment Kaelin left for his duties the next morning, I slipped out.
17:24Dorian walked me through his research.
17:26His words igniting a flicker of hope in my chest.
17:30Time vanished in that sterile alchemical space.
17:34It wasn't until dusk.
17:36I realized my phone was flooded with Kaelin's missed calls and messages.
17:42Still texting Kaelin?
17:45Yes.
17:46You said he wasn't exactly warm.
17:48What changed?
17:49Who knows?
17:50Probably the possessiveness of a dragon in his prime.
17:54Dorian dimmed the lab lights, and we stepped out together.
17:57We ran into Kaelin the second we reached the ground floor.
18:02He'd been waiting there for hours.
18:04His eyes bloodshot.
18:06My scout said you were here.
18:08I didn't want to believe it, but it's true.
18:11I'm sorry.
18:12I didn't check my phone.
18:19Enough.
18:21Can we go home?
18:23I followed him silently, my mind still racing with the schematics I'd seen.
18:28Laya, I can't escort you home today.
18:30What a pity.
18:31Come back tomorrow.
18:32I have more to show you.
18:34Kaelin instantly went into defensive mode.
18:37She won't be coming back.
18:38That remains to be seen.
18:41Dorian met his murderous gaze with a faint, mocking smile.
18:48Kaelin, you once invited me to your estate.
18:50I'd love to see where you and Lyra live.
18:53It's not convenient.
18:54My apologies.
18:55I didn't realize.
18:57I suppose I don't have a home to visit anymore, do I?
19:00My parents are gone.
19:02Dorian winked at me, feigning hurt.
19:05Lyra, babe?
19:06Is he always this stifling?
19:09Is that name yours to use?
19:11The atmosphere turned explosive.
19:14Kaelin's eyes shifted into vertical slits.
19:18Just a joke, Kaelin.
19:20With such a possessive grip, what will you do if she's stolen away?
19:24That will never happen.
19:26I love Lyra.
19:29And she loves me.
19:31The word love catching in his throat.
19:34Dorian chuckled.
19:36I envy you.
19:38Though the Covenant told me I also have a hundred percent soul match.
19:42His eyes locked on mine.
19:44A clear challenge.
19:46Kaelin stepped forward, shielding me with his large armored frame.
19:51Darian, I would not hesitate to kill you right here.
19:55I finally snapped back to my senses and tugged at Kaelin's sleeve.
20:00Let's go home.
20:01We finally dragged Kaelin away.
20:03Lyra, you shouldn't have met him behind my back.
20:08Why?
20:09You are my wife.
20:11Yet you spent an entire day alone in a confined space with another male.
20:15The very air in the car shifted.
20:18I could feel his emotional collapse.
20:20He was bordering on insanity, trying to suppress the image of us together.
20:25We're getting a divorce, aren't we?
20:28We agreed to discuss it after the banquet.
20:30You really want to leave?
20:32Because of him?
20:33Not because of him.
20:35But I have my reasons.
20:36I had only wanted a divorce because of the data error.
20:40Now, I wanted to go home.
20:42If he didn't love me, I should free him before I vanished.
20:47Kaelin fell silent.
20:48I thought he was already drawing up the divorce papers.
20:51But the moment we got home, he pushed me into the bathroom.
20:56What are you doing?
20:58A bath.
21:00No covet of his scent.
21:02It has to be washed off.
21:04These clothes are going too.
21:06I can do it myself.
21:08No.
21:10I can't trust anyone but myself.
21:12Kaelin scrubbed me with obsessive force, the shower soaking his dress shirt.
21:17He was losing control.
21:18His pupils were fully draconic.
21:21The heat radiating from him meant he'd entered his mating rut early.
21:25All because of jealousy.
21:27When we finished, he tossed a set of clothes at me.
21:30It was the exact set I'd planned to wear to seduce him the day the data changed.
21:35He forced me into them without a word.
21:38I had underestimated the terrifying power of a dragon in a rut.
21:46I tried to push him away.
21:50Go change yourself.
21:52Kaelin left.
21:54Only to return in his crisp, forbidden military uniform.
21:58As he dragged me back into the abyss.
22:12You're hiding something from me.
22:24Hot tears landing on my skin.
22:35You were so happy talking to him.
22:40Will you be with him after the divorce?
22:45Can we...
22:46Can we not get divorced?
22:48The night ended with me passing out.
22:50The night ended in my unconsciousness.
22:53When I woke, Kaelin was still there, kneeling to help me pull on my stockings.
22:58My lower back ached.
23:00And the air was thick with the shame and ecstasy of the night before.
23:05I was about to speak when his phone buzzed.
23:08The voice of his adjutant came through.
23:11Commander, there's a complication.
23:13Keep it under control.
23:14I'm on my way back.
23:15No, sir.
23:16It's about your compatibility report.
23:19Kaelin finally obtained the report.
23:21He crushed the two sheets of paper in his grip.
23:24His dragon fire flickering in his eyes.
23:27The Covenant's headquarters had been purged.
23:30The staff stood like trembling quail.
23:3420 minutes ago, Kaelin's data had been fully restored.
23:38An intern had sent the report to his adjutant.
23:40The secret the Covenant had fought to bury was now laid bare.
23:46I was Kaelin's 100% match.
23:50But he was only 80% to me.
23:53Simultaneously, Kaelin saw my report.
23:57It clearly stated my perfect match was Dorian.
24:01The elder director sat in his chair, sweating profusely.
24:06Commander, the fault is mine alone.
24:10I'll pull my own life support plug if that buys your forgiveness.
24:14Kaelin stared at him.
24:15Don't touch the plug.
24:17I have questions.
24:18Anything, sir.
24:19Where do I fall short in those 20%?
24:21The room fell into an eerie silence.
24:24No one had expected him to be so clinical.
24:27Must I say it?
24:28It has to do with your private biology.
24:32Speak.
24:34Uh-huh.
24:36Our comparative analysis suggests that for Lyra, your physical constitution is simply too overwhelming.
24:43Meaning?
24:43If you were to release your full draconic potential in terms of size and stamina, Lyra simply cannot withstand it.
24:50Last night, blinded by jealousy, he had lost all restraint.
24:55I hadn't just fallen asleep.
24:58I had blacked out.
25:00Anything else?
25:01Nothing.
25:03That is the only discrepancy that lowered the score to 80%.
25:09And him?
25:10How does he reach 100%?
25:12Besides?
25:14That?
25:16I have never seen such an anomaly.
25:19It seems...
25:20It seems...
25:22He and Lyra share a near-identical genetical sequence.
25:25They originated from the same realm.
25:27That is the true source of the 100% match.
25:30Are they blood-related?
25:32No, no.
25:33You misunderstand.
25:35They simply share the same origin.
25:37Kaylin turned his gaze to me.
25:39My mind raced, readying an excuse about being hometown friends with Dorian.
25:45But he asked nothing.
25:51Back home, Kaylin sat on the balcony, brooding in the dark.
25:57So this is why you asked for a divorce?
26:03I walked over, trying to laugh it off.
26:0680% is still high, isn't it?
26:08Don't be so grum.
26:10He paused, then added...
26:13I'm sorry.
26:14What are you apologizing for?
26:17I was too rough last night, wasn't I?
26:20Were you hurt?
26:21A little.
26:22A little.
26:22But it was okay.
26:24You looked...
26:26Magnificent when you lost control.
26:29I'll be more careful from now on, if you're still willing to have a future with me.
26:35If you aren't, I will respect it.
26:38Even though it is torture, I will learn to restrain my beast.
26:43I couldn't help it.
26:44I leaned down and kissed his ears.
26:46The fools at the Covenant.
26:48Our compatibility is 100%.
26:50I know it.
26:52The moment I saw you, my heart resonated, my blood roared.
26:57Beyond the data, my beast and my soul recognized you first.
27:01If you felt that, why have you always been so cold?
27:05I am sorry, Lyra.
27:07There is a reason.
27:09I will take you somewhere.
27:10Perhaps then, you will understand.
27:13Kaylin brought me to a cemetery.
27:15After her first husband passed, she was left to roam the streets with her son, Dorian, until she met my
27:20father.
27:22My father was a high-ranking official in the Draconic treasury.
27:26He was a fool for love.
27:27He stopped before a grave.
27:29The woman in the photo had a gentle, haunting smile.
27:32He defied the entire kingdom to shower my mother with everything.
27:35I never saw a love like theirs.
27:38Even when the blood test results showed they were only 80% compatible.
27:42In his eyes, they were 100%.
27:45But my mother was human.
27:46So fragile.
27:47I stood, paralyzed.
27:49I couldn't imagine the abyss of grief his father must have fallen into.
27:54My father nearly took his own life.
27:56But he saw Dorian and me.
27:58And for our sake, he kept going.
28:00Kaylin turned to me.
28:02When my own blood compatibility results came in, I vowed never to let my mother's fate befall you.
28:06A realization hit me.
28:09So that's why you kept me away from headquarters?
28:11And avoided public outings?
28:13Yes.
28:15My position is even more dangerous than his was.
28:18This was the only way to keep you safe.
28:20And why blacklist the Covenant?
28:22Lila, we don't have to talk about this.
28:25I want you to know that I'm here for you.
28:29No matter what.
28:31I just...
28:32I don't know how to feel about all of this.
28:35You need to be careful.
28:39If I fully unleashed my dragon soul and merged with you,
28:43every inch of my skin would be etched with your scent.
28:45It would be an invitation to my enemies to destroy you.
28:49I had to hold back.
28:50The sight shattered my heart.
28:54I am sorry.
28:56What for?
28:57For letting you misunderstand.
28:59Truly, I am sorry.
29:01No, I am the one at fault.
29:03The 80% confession felt so small now.
29:06I hugged him tightly.
29:08Kaelin bent to kiss me.
29:09In that moment, I didn't care about the data or the destiny.
29:14He was my heart.
29:16And he was my instinct.
29:19It was time to return home.
29:21A week later, he told me it was time to return home.
29:25The news struck me with a strange, sudden vertigo.
29:29Looking at our wedding portrait on the bedside table, I felt a flicker of grief.
29:34Hey, where are you?
29:35I'm packing.
29:36What time for the experiment?
29:37I replied to Dorian.
29:39I didn't have much to pack, but I needed to leave Kaelin a note.
29:43It took me 30 minutes.
29:45Dorian didn't reply during that time.
29:48I didn't think much of it.
29:50Finished.
29:50I donned the clothes.
29:52I stepped out, feeling strangely light.
29:55Midway, my phone buzzed.
29:57It was Kaelin's adjutant.
29:59Mistress.
30:00Can you hear me?
30:01Where are you?
30:02I'm at the central plaza.
30:03What's wrong?
30:04You're safe.
30:05Of course I am.
30:06Damn it!
30:07What happened?
30:08He just got a video saying you were kidnapped.
30:10He went to the rendezvous plane.
30:11If you're not there, it's a setup to kill him.
30:13Damn it!
30:13Why didn't he call me to verify?
30:15The comms were jammed, Mistress.
30:16There was no time to head home.
30:18He had to save you first.
30:20I've been trying to reach you until this whole time.
30:22A step forward led to the path home, but behind me lay the life of a man whose heart beat
30:29for mine.
30:30Like the moment I accepted this destiny five years ago, I made my choice.
30:35Send me Kaelin's coordinates.
30:37When I reached the abandoned factory, I thought again of the first dog I ever owned.
30:42People always favor their first companion.
30:44Even if I knew other breeds were more beautiful or better suited to me, I couldn't forget him.
30:51Kaelin was the same.
30:52He was the first to look at me with those vulnerable, draconic eyes.
30:56The factory was a labyrinth.
30:58I closed my eyes, tapping into the 80% bond, praying for its guidance.
31:04In an instant, every cell in my body seemed to awaken.
31:09I felt the draconic instinct within my own blood, sharpening my perception.
31:13I navigated past the rebel patrols and found Kaelin in the warehouse.
31:18He was holding them off alone.
31:20Lyra, you're safe. Thank the gods.
31:23He pulled me into his arms.
31:25Since you're safe, you should have stayed home. You shouldn't have come.
31:27If I hadn't, would you have kept charging into deathtraps for me?
31:30Kaelin's lips thinned. He didn't deny it. I'd made the right choice.
31:35Suddenly, an explosion shook the walls.
31:38Old model automatons marched out of the ground, detonated one by one.
31:43I saw a figure in the shadows, Dorian.
31:47Reinforcements.
31:48Kaelin said.
31:49Dorian is your way out.
31:50This is where our mother once worked, designing these machines.
31:53He grew up here. He knows every circuit. He's creating a diversion.
31:58When did you plan this?
32:00There was no plan.
32:01Kaelin shook his head.
32:02I only told him we were trapped when the signals cut. Dorian is brilliant. He knew what to do.
32:06Dorian ran to the window and unfurled a portable emergency cushion.
32:11Of course he did. Go.
32:13Find Dorian. Let him take you home. Now, Lyra.
32:16Kaelin shoved me toward him. I froze.
32:19How did you know?
32:21If I couldn't figure even that out, I wouldn't be High Commander.
32:24Kaelin smiled.
32:25Come with us!
32:27I have my duties.
32:28I grabbed his arm.
32:29This kingdom, these people, they need me.
32:32Kaelin cupped my face.
32:34I'm glad you came for me, Lyra.
32:36But your safety is all that matters.
32:38He shoved me into Dorian's arms.
32:40The fire roared to life behind us.
32:43The last time I saw him.
32:44I've been back in my own world for a month.
32:47I often sit on the balcony, staring into the distance.
32:51Still worried about him?
32:53Yes.
32:55We left, and the reinforcements arrived in time.
32:58You have to trust him, Lyra.
33:00He didn't climb to his rank through bloodlines.
33:02He paved his way with dragon fire.
33:05I know.
33:06But how can I not worry?
33:08He fought his own instincts just to send me away to you.
33:11So I'll fight mine too, and hold onto my feelings for him.
33:16Have dinner with my parents tomorrow.
33:18Don't let them think I'm starving the mother of this child.
33:22Dorian, are you angry?
33:23Why would you ask that?
33:27I married you so this child would have a name.
33:30It's not fair to you.
33:32It isn't.
33:33I'm a genius, and you're just using me for this.
33:36But since I'm your 100% match, I'm happy to oblige.
33:41Besides, he saved your life.
33:44He was Kaylin's child.
33:45When I discovered I was pregnant, I finally understood why I'd gained those draconic senses.
33:52Dorian was a good man, balancing his research with fetal education.
33:56My pregnancy was seamless.
33:58I felt stronger every day.
34:01Seven months in, I went hiking.
34:03I walked too fast, losing the group in the dense woods.
34:07A massive python slithered from the grass.
34:11But then, the python stopped, then scrambled back into the dark.
34:17A familiar scent drifted on the wind, my heart hammering a rhythm I recognized.
34:23I turned around.
34:26I'm sorry.
34:28I'm late.
34:29We'll allow you to coolと思います.
34:29I am during this challenging week.
34:29You put the top buns seasonings.
34:30Your你说 won?
34:30You know where are you going?
34:31You're Är Montgomery qui opened?
34:31Iível to meet you in the moment of my life.
