Yvette summons an S-rank Saint Dragon, but it immediately shows signs of being a cursed beast, with black smoke rising and weakening rapidly. Her uncle Hans reveals he paid to curse her, then publicly disowns Yvette from the Church family, declaring she has no right to inherit leadership. Others mock her, pointing out her beast's impending death means she has no power or status. Despite the insults and threats, Yvette refuses to give up. Meanwhile, a voice outside asserts the cursed dragon can no longer be saved but offers to become a parasite to help Yvette evolve, hinting at a dangerous new opportunity.
