Star Elf Prince

Lyra learns she is pregnant with Prince Cairn's triplets and moves into the palace to live with him. At a dance, Orlin cuts in, reminding her they are technically married, just as Darian is about to arrive.

Lyra argues with Cairn about the previous night, refusing his help but accepting rare gems to buy her grandfather's medicine. At home, her grandfather spots a mark on her neck and demands to know if she slept with an elf.

After Lyra's grandfather sees the mark on her neck, Priestess Irius pulls her aside and asks if she has a boyfriend. Lyra lies that he is human. Irius urges her to leave the rough man and consider an elf. Cairn arrives for a hangover remedy, making Lyra flee in embarrassment.

While working at a tavern, Lyra is cornered by drunken patrons who try to force her to drink and assault her. She cries for help, and just as the situation turns dire, Cairn appears and demands to know who dares touch her.

Orlin drives off the drunken patrons harassing Lyra and recognizes her as the woman bound to his soul. Lyra admits she lied to Priestess Irius about having a boyfriend. Orlin offers a bag of rare gems for another encounter, and Lyra reluctantly agrees to pay for her grandfather's healing ritual.

Orlin takes Lyra to a deserted rooftop, insisting she stay sober and take the lead this time. Lyra worries about being seen while Alpheus keeps watch. Orlin orders her never to wear such a short skirt again, and Lyra explains it is her uniform.

After their rooftop encounter, Lyra is exhausted and Orlin gently stops, offering to walk her home. She refuses, afraid her grandfather will see them. Orlin gives her a necklace and tells her never to take it off. Alpheus teases Orlin about being in love, just before Princess Cecilia arrives.

Princess Cecilia confronts Orlin, smelling a half-breed on him, and he coldly refuses her dinner invitation. Cecilia vows to find the woman who seduced him. Lyra visits her recovering grandfather, who urges her to live her own life. Alone in the wild eating berries, Lyra suddenly realizes she might be pregnant.

Lyra hides signs of pregnancy from her grandfather, who warns her to stay away from elves and tells her to quit her bar job. She then receives her acceptance as a junior apprentice at the Arcane Academy and resolves to start fresh. Prince Cairn appears, insists she get into his carriage, and asks her to move in with him.

Lyra turns down Prince Cairn's offer to move in with him and gets out of the carriage, deciding to get checked out after days of nausea. At the Arcane Academy, Prince Orlin visits and singles out Lyra to demonstrate magic scroll restoration. She completes the demonstration, surprising everyone, though Orlin still has a question.

Lyra's nausea interrupts her academy demonstration. Still worried she might be seriously ill, she seeks out a priestess for an examination. The priestess congratulates her on carrying triplets, leaving Lyra stunned and asking whether she can choose not to keep them.

Lyra tells the priestess Irius that she does not want her children born into a world of hatred and that an elf prince would never accept half-elf offspring. Irius agrees to arrange the unbinding ritual. Meanwhile, Irius's daughter learns from her mother about Lyra's pregnancy and her decision, leaving a friend shocked and urgent.
