Kyle stops his wedding ceremony, claiming Hailey is not his true bride. Lady Diane defends her daughter by calling the unborn baby a monster.

Kyle abruptly halts the wedding proceedings in the banquet hall. He declares that Hailey is not the noblewoman he came to marry. He refuses to proceed with the union, leaving the entire group of wedding guests in shock at his sudden choice.
Lady Diane speaks up to defend Hailey. She dismisses the pregnancy and attacks the legitimacy of the unborn child. She claims the baby is a monster conceived in the Forbidden Dragon Lands, attempting to undermine Kyle’s belief in his own heir.
A guest interrupts the confrontation to speak. He tells Kyle that a wounded, pregnant girl appeared at the banquet hall earlier. He explains that Lady Diane ordered guards to drag her away, confirming that Laura was recently at the palace.
Kyle spots Laura’s dragon ring on the floor near a pool of blood. He immediately throws Lady Diane to the ground in a display of anger. He then calls upon his magical powers and rushes out to find his missing mate.
“I came to wed the most noble daughter of House Gray. This is not her!”
“She lay with a monster in the Forbidden Dragon Lands and conceived a bastard. How could it possibly be your heir?”
“A wounded girl stumbled into the banquet hall just now. She said she carried your child and begged everyone to take her to you.”
Kyle stands over the blood-stained floor as the reality of Laura’s situation sets in. He lets out a terrifying roar of rage and uses his dragon magic to track her down. The episode closes with Kyle storming out of the hall, leaving the reader wondering if he can reach the injured Laura before her time runs out.
