00:00I tighten my grip on the two ugly gray stones.
00:02If I don't act now, I die.
00:06The cosmic space in my brain roars, unlocking a flood of forbidden knowledge.
00:11In a flash, I realize the truth.
00:13Elena, no.
00:14The entire empire has been doing it wrong for centuries.
00:17Their violent ritual arrays are too crude.
00:20They work only on low-level monsters.
00:22True legendary beasts are too sensitive.
00:27The empire's harsh magic instantly destroys them, cooking them into dead stone.
00:32Elena's past eggs weren't trash.
00:34They were murdered by her own Skalant's ignorance.
00:36But I know the cure.
00:37Lady, you want a real weapon?
00:39I don't need a ritual.
00:41I just need you.
00:42What are you doing, Rock?
00:43Before she can finish, I reach out and grab her hand.
00:46The entire cave gasps.
00:48Corvus' eyes widen in absolute horror.
00:50No one touches the Grand Duchess and lives, but I don't let go.
00:53I tighten my grip, forcing her palm down until it presses firmly against the small gray stone.
00:58Trust your husband.
01:00Elena stares wintry at me, her dark vision flashing with shock, but she doesn't pull away.
01:05The moment our hands lock on the shell, my cosmic domain acts as a bridge.
01:09Her overflowing dark magic pours through my arm and injects directly into the egg.
