Ethan had a hard time hiding his surprise. For a few seconds, he just stared at the object in front of him, eyebrows raised.
He knew about the Giant Empress Bees, having once seen illustrations of one in a history book from the Darkwall family library.
It was a species that had been extinct for over a thousand years, known for producing massive amounts of high-quality magical honey.
Furthermore, these bees possessed an otherworldly beauty and a peaceful, docile nature. Their wings could be woven into the most beautiful dresses in the world.
Ysara herself kept one such piece in her dress collection, inherited from an ancient ancestor and made from precisely this material.
It was a silver dress with a sheen that seemed to make even the stars pale in comparison. Many hailed it as the most beautiful fabric that had ever existed.
Obviously, the Giant Empress Bees had been widely used in beekeeping and mass-bred. But there was a problem.
