00:00When I arrived at Starcrest Sanctum, I saw him holding another woman's hand.
00:03I confronted him.
00:05Kael'thar, who is she?
00:06Kael'thar stepped protectively in front of the woman, his tone firm.
00:09Don't be afraid. No one in this realm has the right to hurt you.
00:13Prince Kael'thar, what exactly are you meaning?
00:15But Kael'thar didn't even glance my way.
00:17He raised his voice for the entire hall to hear.
00:20Everyone, this is Seraphina Reed.
00:23She is to be my wife.
00:25I stared at him in shock.
00:26You're marrying her?
00:27Yes.
00:28So what about me?
00:29Alara, our betrothal was nothing but a hasty arrangement. It was never real.
00:33Not real? So why did you swear to me and make me wait centuries for you?
00:37I was young and foolish back then.
00:39After experiencing mortal life, I finally see that only Seraphina is my true destined match.
00:44Alara, I know I'm merely immortal and far less noble than you, but I truly love Kael'thar.
00:49I beg you to grant us your blessing.
00:51You stayed by my side through everything, but she is nothing but a worthless fox spirit.
00:56You are the only one fit to be my wife.
01:00This isn't just an insult to me.
01:02It's an insult to my mother and father.
01:04Suddenly, he channeled his ether power and lunged at me.
01:07Yet I didn't suffer a single scratch.
01:10He stared in shock.
01:11You're protected by a dragon scale.
01:13How is that even possible?
01:14In that instant, Emperor Aelius and Queen Lyra descended amid a burst of golden light.
01:20Kael'thar stepped forward at once.
01:22Father, mother, you've arrived just in time.
01:24I wish to dissolve my divine bond with Alara.
01:27I was ready to roll up my sleeves and strike him down, but Queen Lyra's voice held back my anger.
01:32I agree. It's you who are beneath Alara.
01:35Mother, I'm your own son.
01:37A mere mortal girl has bewitched you. What a disgrace.
01:40She turned to me.
01:41Alara, I'm so sorry.
01:43Emperor Aelius' gaze turned cold.
01:46I am the one who decreed this betrothal.
01:48Do you dare question my decision?
01:50Father, I wouldn't dare.
01:51Serafina said.
01:52Your Majesty, do not blame Kael'thar.
01:54I am of humble birth and far unworthy of him.
01:58If you knew you weren't worthy, why did you follow him up here?
02:01Mother, Serafina is the only one I'll ever marry.
02:04Fine. Very well.
02:07Mom, you agree?
02:08If your love is truly unbreakable,
02:10then you and this girl shall return to the mortal realm to endure mortal trials.
02:16What?
02:17Oh, and most importantly, keep your memories.
02:19Let you truly feel what it means to fall from grace.
02:22After all, you need that contrast to prove just how real your so-called love.
02:27Silas Weaver bowed.
02:28As you command, your grace.
02:29Mother, have you lost your mind?
02:31You're the one who's lost it.
02:33Marry whoever you like,
02:35But my daughter-in-law will be Alara and no one else.
02:38Suddenly, Queen Lyra's face went pale and she collapsed.
02:42Emperor Aelius hurried forward and carried her away.
02:45I grew worried for Queen Lyra and was about to rush after them.
02:48Alara.
02:49But Kael'thar said.
02:50Even with the Emperor and Queen backing you,
02:52I will never spare you another glance.
02:54I shrugged.
02:55A disloyal man is worse than a dog.
02:58Who'd want one?
02:59Worry about yourself.
03:00When I reached Queen Lyra's chambers, a streak of gold squirt the sky.
03:04The divine gate opened.
03:06I slipped inside.
03:07Your idiot son didn't inherit your good qualities, just your broken brain.
03:12You're right.
03:12It's all my fault.
03:14Please do not anger yourself.
03:15I can do without a son.
03:17But Alara must be my daughter-in-law.
03:20Then Queen Lyra caught sight of me.
03:22Alara, you're here!
03:23Look!
03:24Our bond can continue!
03:25Queen Lyra was excited, and she gave the egg a hearty kick.
03:29It slid across the room, banged against the wall, wobbled dramatically, then fell still,
03:35looking almost pitiful.
03:37A new beast companion?
03:39The Queen waved it off casually.
03:40That's my youngest son.
03:41I stared from the egg at her, lost for words.
03:44Was this truly her unborn son?
03:46Don't worry, he's inherited my Voidmog bloodline.
03:49Incredibly durable.
03:51That's not what matters.
03:52Our divine bond can still stand.
03:55The original betrothal never specified which son.
03:58Queen Lyra scooped up the egg cheerfully and smacked it against her palm.
04:03The egg was unbelievably tough.
04:05Truly pure Voidmog bloodline.
04:07The Voidmog bloodline only bonded to one mate.
04:10She simply shoved the egg into my arms.
04:13If my second son failed to meet your standard, I would keep bearing airs until you agreed.
04:19One son was more than enough.
04:21There was absolutely no need for more.
04:22I was still trying to figure out how to politely decline when Queen Lyra suddenly went pale and fainted straight
04:28as a board.
04:29Emperor Alias caught her and explained that she suffered Void Taint backlash and had overexerted her vital energy.
04:35She needed a thousand years of secluded rest.
04:38Please do not disturb us.
04:40I hadn't said a single word and they were already gone.
04:43Just me, holding an egg, totally confused.
04:47I had zero experience raising a child.
04:51Maybe trying it for a few days wasn't the worst idea.
04:54I named the egg Little 2.
04:56His favorite thing was cuddling with me.
04:58Over time, I learned to read his moods.
05:00When happy, he'd roll end over end across the floor.
05:04Extremely happy, he'd flip in the air.
05:07Unhappy, he'd sit in one spot without moving.
05:10Silly egg.
05:11But his durability was genuine.
05:13I could even skip him across a pond.
05:16Dozens of skips in a row.
05:17When I was bored, I'd scribble on his shell.
05:20When I was hungry, I'd have him adjust his glow to roast food for me.
05:24Little 2, it's not like I'm bullying you on purpose.
05:27Ising told you I'm only keep you for two days.
05:29Craig can get your parent to cure-pick you.
05:31Or, don't blame me for shake your yolk all messed up.
05:34Then a random thought hit me.
05:36I could use this egg to skip stones across the water.
05:39The voice suddenly rang out.
05:41Stop.
05:41I stared at the egg, utterly stunned.
05:44An egg can talk?
