Short filmTranscript
00:03I married the black dragon commander. We were said to be 100% compatible, though he was forced
00:10into it. For two years, he never interested in me. Are we doing this or not? I have matters to
00:16attend
00:16to. Let's not. You go ahead. Are you sure? Absolutely sure. He studied me. He put on his
00:26military uniform. As soon as he left, I dialed the covenant. What is going on? We apologize,
00:37Miss Lyra. Database upgrade revealed a matching error. Commander Kalen is not your true soulmate.
00:43We've been married for two years and you're only telling me now? We're sorry. He still has an 80%
00:48compatibility with you. Theoretically, your marriage shouldn't be affected. You said
00:53theoretically. What about in reality? In reality, your 100% match is someone else.
00:59Who? We're retrieving the corrupted file.
01:03Has Kalen been notified? Not yet. He blocked us.
01:07Yeah, Kalen loathed for assigning him a human wife. Don't tell him yet. I'll handle it.
01:12We are counting on you, Lyra. This was a dragon-ruled kingdom. Kalen was its all-powerful
01:18high commander. I was a human stranded here five years ago. When the Bureau found me, I agreed to the
01:26match at once. I wanted his connections to go home, but Kalen didn't want me. He only agreed
01:33because of the 100% compatibility claim. I tried everything to win him over, to seduce him.
01:41He hated every move. I even threatened to call him impotent. If you refuse me, I'll tell everyone
01:48you're frigid. He endured my touch, cold and resentful. Until today, the truth came out. Kalen
01:55could never love me. 80% meant nothing. It's over. Only 100% could open his heart. A chill struck
02:04me.
02:04When he learns the truth, will he burn me to ashes?
02:08I stopped messaging Kalen after that call. A week later, he messaged first.
02:13I've sent a physician to check you. I'm not sick.
02:17The housekeeper said you've been distracted. You stopped shopping. Are you well?
02:21I'm fine.
02:22Hmph. Fine.
02:24Before, I'd boldly say I loved him or wanted him. Now I said nothing. Kalen typed long, then sent...
02:34I'm coming home tomorrow.
02:38So soon? No need to rush. I'm fine. Focus on your duty. The kingdom needs you. Don't worry
02:43about us.
02:47Kalen didn't reply. Half an hour later, he walked in. He looked like he'd raced through
02:53a storm to get to me. He didn't even take off his uniform. He pressed his hand to my forehead.
02:58Temperature on normal. Breathing normal. Scent normal. You're not sick?
03:05I keep telling you I'm fine. Then why have you stopped going out? Your favorite brand drops
03:10new parses every Monday. You used to come home loaded with bags. Trying to save you some
03:16money. Whatever you spend, I can earn back. We didn't marry for me to Prince Penny.
03:20I couldn't tell him that we would be divorced soon enough. In the silence, Kalen swept me
03:26into his arms toward the bedroom.
03:28You always wanted me to wear this uniform while we do something. Let's do it today. Just this
03:33once.
03:33No! No!
03:35You must be exhausted from work. I'd be a beast if I jumped all over you the minute
03:40you walked through the door. You rest. I'm not that thirsty. I'll cook for you.
03:43I scurried to the kitchen. Glancing back, I saw Kalen standing still. His expression lost.
03:50A moment later, he followed me to the kitchen.
03:54An urgent matter arose. I have to go back.
03:58Go ahead.
03:59I'll return as soon as I'm done.
04:01Don't rush. Handle your duties.
04:03Since you're cooking yourself, I have to enjoy this meal.
04:10Shall I make it and bring it over? You're always running back and forth. It's too much.
04:16Very well.
04:18I intended it as an excuse, but he accepted. Was 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, radiating the same suffocating pressure as Kalen.
04:36Meet me at the old spot. Send your adjunct in to pick this up.
04:41Come inside.
04:43I've authorized your entry.
04:45Isn't that wrong? This is top secret. No outsiders allowed in.
04:49It's fine. No one will dare stop you.
04:52I usually wait at the gate.
04:58Just 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? Are 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. How could you forget again?
05:34Sorry, I got caught up at work.
05:36What kind of excuse is that?
05:38It was Isolda, 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 Isolda's tantrum when his nostrils flared.
05:55You're here.
05:59I must clarify, the situation isn't what you think.
06:02My apologies. I'll leave you to it. I'm off.
06:05Kalen, if you're busy, don't worry about coming home tonight. I won't leave the lights on.
06:14The data is still being restored, but he definitely has one.
06:17Understood. I think I know who it is. Fix it faster.
06:21Your efficiency is a disaster. Can't you work overtime?
06:24Miss Lyra, your data restoration is almost complete.
06:27I will send your 100% matches info immediately.
06:30Fine.
06:33I spent the evening in solitary bliss.
06:36Unexpectedly, Kalen returned.
06:40Why are you back?
06:44This is my home. Can't I come home?
06:46I didn't mean that.
06:49Lyra, there's nothing between Islot and me. It was never like that.
06:53She's just a comrade.
06:55Today's her birthday. She 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.
07:03You stood her up. Did you apologize properly?
07:05I don't know her, but girls are all the same.
07:08Just sweet talk her. She'll get over it.
07:10Are you like that too?
07:13I... I don't need cattling. I'm fine.
07:23Wait. The 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. I'm young. Let'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 non-stop.
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?
08:01Kaelin, I want a divorce.
08:04What?
08:05Why?
08:06I don't think we're right for each other.
08:09Our status, our backgrounds, they 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.
08:35Kaelin 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, just like that.
08:55Kaelin 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 Kaelin returned, he asked again,
09:11Are you sure you want a divorce?
09:13Yes.
09:14But no rush.
09:15I'll go along with whatever you arrange.
09:18It'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.
09:40The 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 Kaelin's height and build.
09:53In 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 Kaelin's wife.
10:13I didn't want to make things messy.
10:16Besides, I would eventually return to my own world.
10:19No need to write more tragedy into my story.
10:22On the weekend, Kaelin 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.
10:58I held on to Kaelin's arm, ignoring all the stares.
11:01Kaelin, 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.
11:25Yeah, a sudden spark, a racing heart.
11:27Is that what it's like?
11:28It was the first time I'd heard that.
11:30I thought back to the first time I met Kaelin.
11:34None of that had happened.
11:36If he hadn't felt it either,
11:38wouldn'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.
11:59I have called you here for an urgent announcement.
12:03My 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.
12:16All 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.
12:25Kaelin seemed to have expected this.
12:27Does this not bother you?
12:31Bother me?
12:32He'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 Kaelin'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.
13:56I excused myself to the terrace for air.
13:58The cool breeze cleared my head.
14:01Moments later, footsteps approached.
14:03It was Dorian.
14:05Lyra, may 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 Kaylin.
14:18I see.
14:19It isn't the first time they've made a mistake.
14:21But Kaylin 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?
14:55I thought you grew up here.
14:56Maybe I didn't even get here as early as you did.
15:00When did you come here?
15:01Five years ago.
15:02You?
15:03Dorian's polished facade cracked.
15:06A while before that.
15:07His posture relaxing.
15:08How have you been holding up in this draconic hellhole?
15:10It's insane.
15:12I 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?
15:42I 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.
16:20Feel free to visit my lab whenever you like.
16:24Get him away from you.
16:27Kaelin 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.
16:46I 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.
17:10I knew it was not love.
17:12Visiting Dorian's laboratory was non-negotiable.
17:16I needed to see that machine.
17:18My 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.
17:27His 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.
17:58We ran into Kaelin the second we reached the ground floor.
18:02He'd been waiting there for hours, his 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.
18:31What 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 100% 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.
20:37I had only wanted a divorce because of the data error.
20:40Now, I wanted to go home.
20:43If 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.
21:19His pupils were fully draconic.
21:21The heat radiating from him meant he'd entered his mating rut early.
21:26All because of jealousy.
21:27When we finished, he tossed a set of clothes at me.
21:31It was the exact set I'd planned to wear to seduce him the day the data changed.
21:36He 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.
21:53Kaelin left, only to return in his crisp, forbidden military uniform, as he dragged me back into the abyss.
22:24You were so happy talking to him.
22:27You 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, and 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.
23:16No, sir.
23:17It's about your compatibility report.
23:18Kaelin finally obtained the report.
23:21He crushed the two sheets of paper in his grip, his 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.
23:41The secret the Covenant had fought to bury was now laid bare.
23:46I was Kaelin's 100% match, but he was only 80% to me simultaneously.
23:55Kaelin 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.
24:13Kaelin 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%?
24:22The room fell into an eerie silence.
24:25No one had expected him to be so clinical.
24:27Must I say it?
24:28It has to do with your private biology.
24:32Speak.
24:36Our comparative analysis suggests that for Lyra, your physical constitution is simply too overwhelming.
24:43Meaning?
24:44If 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.
25:02That is the only discrepancy that lowered the score to 80%.
25:08And him?
25:10How does he reach 100%?
25:12Besides?
25:14That?
25:15I 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?
25:33No, no.
25:34You misunderstand.
25:35They simply share the same origin.
25:37Kaelin turned his gaze to me.
25:39My mind raced, readying an excuse about being hometown friends with Dorian.
25:45But he asked nothing.
25:52Back home, Kaelin sat on the balcony, brooding in the dark.
25:57So this is why you asked for a divorce?
26:00Because you found a human with a higher compatibility?
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.
26:15What are you apologizing for?
26:17I was too rough last night, wasn't I?
26:20Were you hurt?
26:22A little, but it was okay.
26:25You looked...
26:26Magnificent when you lost control.
26:30I'll be more careful from now on.
26:32If you're still willing to have a future with me.
26:35If you aren't,
26:37I will respect it.
26:39Even though,
26:40it is torture.
26:41I 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,
26:54my heart resonated,
26:56my blood roared.
26:57Beyond the data,
26:58my beast and my soul recognized you first.
27:01If you felt that,
27:03why have you always been so cold?
27:05I am sorry, Lyra.
27:07There is a reason.
27:09I will take you somewhere.
27:11Perhaps then,
27:12you will understand.
27:13Kaylin brought me to a cemetery.
27:15After her first husband passed,
27:17she was left to roam the streets with her son,
27:19Dorian,
27:20until she met my father.
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 kin 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.
27:55My 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,
28:04I 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.
28:40If I fully unleashed my dragon soul and merged with you,
28:42every inch of my skin would be etched with your scent.
28:45It would be in 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.
29:08Kaylin 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,
29:32I 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 Kaylin 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.
29:56Midway, my phone buzzed.
29:57It was Kaylin's adjutant.
29:59Mistress, can 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,
30:25but behind me lay the life of a man whose heart beat for mine.
30:29Like the moment I accepted this destiny five years ago,
30:34I made my choice.
30:35Send me Kaylin's coordinates.
30:37When I reached the abandoned factory,
30:39I thought again of the first dog I ever owned.
30:42People always favor their first companion.
30:45Even if I knew other breeds were more beautiful or better suited to me,
30:49I couldn't forget him.
30:51Kaylin was the same.
30:52He was the first to look at me with those vulnerable, draconic eyes.
30:57The factory was a labyrinth.
30:58I closed my eyes, tapping into the 80% bond,
31:02praying 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,
31:12sharpening my perception.
31:14I navigated past the rebel patrols and found Kaylin in the warehouse.
31:18He was holding them off alone.
31:20Lyra, you're safe.
31:22Thank the gods.
31:23He pulled me into his arms.
31:25Since you're safe, you should have stayed home.
31:26You shouldn't have come.
31:28If I hadn't, would you have kept charging into death traps for me?
31:31Kaylin's lips thinned.
31:32He didn't deny it.
31:33I'd made the right choice.
31:35Suddenly, an explosion shook the walls.
31:38Old model automatons marched out of the dark,
31:41detonated one by one.
31:43I saw a figure in the shadows, Dorian.
31:47Reinforcements.
31:48Kaylin said.
31:49Dorian is your way out.
31:50This is where our mother once worked, designing these machines.
31:53He grew up here.
31:54He knows every circuit.
31:56He's creating a diversion.
31:58When did you plan this?
32:00There was no plan.
32:01Kaylin shook his head.
32:02I only told him we were trapped in the signals cut.
32:05Dorian is brilliant.
32:06He knew what to do.
32:07Dorian ran to the window and unfurled a portable emergency cushion.
32:11Of course he did.
32:11Go.
32:13Find Dorian.
32:14Let him take you home.
32:14Now, Lyra.
32:16Kaylin shoved me toward him.
32:18I froze.
32:19How did you know?
32:21If I couldn't figure even that out, I wouldn't be High Commander.
32:24Kaylin smiled.
32:26Come with us!
32:27I have my duties.
32:28I grabbed his arm.
32:29This kingdom, these people, they need me.
32:32Kaylin 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, but 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 on to my feelings for him.
33:16Have dinner with my parents tomorrow.
33:19Don't let them think I'm starving the mother of this child.
33:22Doran, are you angry?
33:24Why would you ask that?
33:27I married you so this child would have a name.
33:31It's not fair to you.
33:32It isn't.
33:33I'm a genius, and you're just using me for this.
33:37But since I'm your 100% match, I'm happy to oblige.
33:41Besides, he saved your life.
33:44He was Kaylin's child.
33:46When 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.
33:59I 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.
34:14Then scrambled back into the dark.
34:17A familiar scent drifted on the wind.
34:19My heart hammering a rhythm I recognized.
34:23I turned around.
34:26I'm sorry.
34:28I'm late.
34:30I'm sorry.
34:30I was, you know, huh?
34:31I was, you know, I wasEveryone teacher, when I saw some lady in the house,
34:31You know, I mean, I was strangely лет � менstèmes.
34:31You know.
