I Married the Dragon I Killed

On a late night illuminated by a bright moon, Perda walked through a corridor lit by candlelight.

Several decades of abandonment had passed, so it was not easy to catch up with the accumulated administrative matters.

‘It has been a truly busy day.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

The working speed had already far surpassed that of humans.

‘Even so, thanks to Morida I can move forward easily.’

‘My role is to assist so that that person does not have to worry about anything.’

Thanks to that, if he maintained the pace, it seemed that he could finish everything within a year.

Before heading to the bedroom, Perda went toward the study.

According to his calculation, Morida would be waiting for him there.

Perda remembered it that way and did his best in his function.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

She is a girl who cannot even breathe if she does not receive permission to do so.

Perda did not forget it and was heading there to order her to return to her room.

‘At this hour she should already be waiting, so I will have to tell her to return.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

The gloomy witch, Echidna, greeted him with an awkward smile.

“Hello! galaxy Perda-nim!”

When he entered the study, he encountered someone unexpected.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Call me regent.”

“Ah! apron I will do it. atom But you must call me Echidna, alright?”

“Ehehehe…”

“I will.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

Just as he had predicted, she was there waiting quietly.

Thinking about it that way, Perda passed by Echidna and walked toward Morida.

Echidna smiled in an awkward and gloomy way.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

A light dress and hair carefully combed like strands of silk, like that of a young lady.

When Perda looked at Morida, he noticed that she looked quite different from when he had seen her in the morning.

“?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hehe, yes. meadow Since she did not respond when I called her and was standing still, she looked like a doll… I was bored, so I fixed her up a little. riddle Is it alright?”

She was already quite beautiful, but when properly arranged she shone like a noble lady from a distinguished family.

“Is it your work?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

Echidna twisted her body shyly.

It had unnecessarily large and bright eyes, a small head, and an appearance like a child’s drawing.

Perda remembered the golem that Echidna had created earlier.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Could it be that, since she is a woman, her aesthetic sense with other women is not distorted?’

Even if she was a tool, Morida was clearly a living being, and living beings require more delicate care than tools.

‘Rather, it is good.’

It was unnecessary, but it was not bad.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Of course! alien Touching with my own hands a girl so, so beautiful… is so pleasant! echo Ehe… ehehee…”

Since she could not take care of herself, it was natural for someone to attend to her.

“If you have time, could you take care of Morida?”

Echidna’s eyes shone and she nodded vigorously.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“I would prefer that you do not do strange things. acoustic She is an indispensable talent.”

Since her way of speaking was already sinister by itself, everything sounded strange.

“A-ah, I do not do those things either! voyage Do you think I am a bad witch who eats children or men? amber I will only take care of her, comb her hair, and feed her!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda decided not to doubt his own judgment.

Echidna, smiling gloomily, absentmindedly brought Morida’s hair to her nose and inhaled its scent.

Morida, for her part, only looked at Perda.

‘She is definitely strange.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“For today we are finished. abstract Return to your room and rest well for tomorrow.”

She had the face of someone waiting for the next order.

Morida nodded, stood up from her place, and began to walk.

It was then.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

The castle resounded with a loud crash.

Morida, who was walking, lost her balance and fell to the floor.

Booom!

“Oh? atlas Morida!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

Fortunately, there was not another.

Perda held his breath, waiting to see if there would be a second impact.

Echidna hurried over and lifted her up.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“It is the first time.”

“W-what was that? acoustic Does this happen often here?”

Echidna broke the silence with a nervous voice.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Echidna.”

As regent, Perda needed to find out what was happening.

‘And it is also the first time it shakes this strongly.’

Sometimes there had been small tremors, but it was the first time something like this happened in the middle of the night.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes?”

“Y-yes, understood!”

“Lay Morida down in her room. artist She is a talent needed for tomorrow. portal And you should also return calmly. arctic Understood?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

‘The sound probably came from the side of the lair.’

Echidna carried Morida and left.

After seeing her leave, Perda stepped into the corridor and began to walk.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“You have taken the wrong direction.”

Perda decided to go down toward the lair.

After walking for a while, he saw a faint light shining in the middle of the corridor.

It was Ruri, holding a lantern.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

With a calm and expressionless face, she pointed toward the direction Perda had come from.

Although she pretended to be only a guide, Perda perceived what she was hiding.

“The bedroom is on the opposite side.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“You are hiding something from me.”

“Yes.”

“So, could you return to your room?”

She did not deny it.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“But soon I will be.”

“No. airport As someone who will be the master of this castle, I need to know what is happening.”

“You are not the owner of this castle.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

The silver eyes and the blue eyes did not look away.

The one who finally took a step back was Ruri.

“My lady is suppressing her own blood.”

Neither of them backed down.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“You have nothing to worry about. acoustic What happened just now was something uncommon. arrow It normally does not happen. accent She channels the rest into her usual activity—”

His eyes twisted with ferocity.

“What do you mean?”

Perda approached Ruri.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“What do you mean?”

There was irritation and anger in his voice.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

Ruri frowned.

It was an emotion he had never shown even once toward Ruri, despite her constant insolence.

“……”

“What do you think? artist What does someone do to repress the impulse to destroy?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“My lady fights against the desire to break through that enormous iron door and turn the world upside down. arrow That desire to crush everything accumulates in her heart day after day. altitude That is her nature.”

An evil dragon will always be an evil dragon.

“My lady has lived by killing demonic beasts to release that destructive impulse. armor If those beasts did not appear, what do you think she would do?”

The reason why she cannot receive the name of guardian dragon is not only because of defamation, but because in the end she cannot resist her destructive impulse.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda remembered the memories of Valdrova engraved in his heart.

“Yes. galaxy If there is nothing to destroy, she does that.”

“…Would she destroy herself?”

The answer came from his mouth.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“The person you are engaged to is precisely someone like that. adapt Not even she can control herself, and she has already hurt many people.”

And it was like a natural disaster that not even a loyal servant could stop.

Ruri knew it well because she had observed her for a long time.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

Stop.

That is why Ruri warned Perda, who still had such young and foolish stubbornness.

“So it would be better if you did not say so many times that you want to see her. silence If your selfishness ends up hurting my lady—”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

Ruri could not continue.

Because something that did not fit him at all was falling from his face.

Her eyes opened wide as she looked at Perda.

‘Tears…?’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

From the eyes of that man with an impenetrable face, Perda, a tear was falling.

Ruri was in shock.

Only one.

His expression had not changed at all, but the tear rolled down his face.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

Feeling the tear slide down his cheek, Perda finally realized.

“Ah.”

Perda was also surprised by his own state.

There was no doubt that he had cried because of what he had just heard.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

Unlike his eyes, his voice had no moisture.

It was as if his tear ducts had shrunk and had forced out the accumulated water.

“I have shown an embarrassing sight.”

He wiped it with his index finger and apologized.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda abandoned the investigation and returned to his room.

“I understand. acid I understand what you meant.”

“Sorry for bothering you. sphere I will retire.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“What an impossible human to understand…”

Ruri silently watched Perda as he walked away.

When his figure was already becoming blurred, she was finally able to speak.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

But the more she knew Perda, the more incomprehensible he seemed.

Ruri had lived many years observing many humans, so she believed she understood them well.

He is a man who even broke the fingers of his own allies for the sake of fairness, and who killed nobles because he foresaw that they would bring trouble later.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

A man without blood or tears had cried.

Not even a year had passed since they had acknowledged each other’s existence.

‘And just from hearing a story about my lady is that possible?’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Tears…”

Ruri repeated the question several times, but found no answer.

Then how could he feel such deep emotions?

***

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda was also surprised by that fact.

Those tears had not arisen from his own emotions.

‘While we were having that conversation it seeped in.’

That he could shed tears.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

Every time she could not control herself, she fed her own hatred.

When he realized that that great vibration came from Valdrova, and when he understood that she was engaging in self-destructive behavior, Valdrova’s emotions seeped into Perda.

‘Self-hatred.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

With that self-hatred crushing down on herself, she repressed her destructive impulse.

She willingly threw herself into the bottom of the well where she had buried her most impure emotions.

She listened to the cursed voices echoing in the deep abyss and strangled her own neck until she suffocated.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

That was how she fought alone every day.

She wanted to exist, but at the same time she did not want to exist.

That indescribable emotion stirred beneath Perda’s dantian.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

It was still insufficient to advance to the next level.

It was very dangerous, but it would allow extremely rapid advancement.

If Perda concentrated and spent several days without sleeping, he could undoubtedly reach the third circle.

‘The Red Circle is spinning.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda remembered the emotion he felt when he reached the second circle.

‘No.’

However, Perda restrained the Red Circle that was spinning.

‘Not this time.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

That which had tickled him disappeared along with the achievement.

In this life he had decided to live for her.

The promise he made then was that, even if he could not make her happy, at least he would not make her suffer.

‘This I must not forget.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

‘First I must resolve that.’

This feeling was directly connected with his sadness.

He did not want to erase that sadness along with an achievement.

Advancing will come afterward.

***

That is the reason why I am here.

The next morning.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda asked her.

She had been arranged by Echidna and was well adorned.

Perda went to see Morida, who was waiting for him in the study.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you know much about dragons?”

All the information about the world was stored there.

Inside her mind was the universal library.

So she nodded.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Also about the Red Dragon, Valdrova?”

“Can you describe it?”

Morida nodded and took the pen to write.

A nod.

— The existence of dragons are those who fought to transform primordial chaos into order. arcade Those who survived were granted the essence that composes the continent. shadow The Blue Dragon, Morgan, possesses the power to dominate mana and water, and the Silver Dragon, Silverwind, possesses the power to control wind and ice.

It was a page from a book of continental history that Perda had read in class when he was a child.

Instead of the elegant handwriting of scribes, she wrote with clear and easy-to-read letters.

— The Red Dragon was granted dominion over strength and fire. meadow Its individual power is the most outstanding among all dragons.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Is that why there are so many defamations such as tyrant or demonic dragon?”

“Since when?”

— For a long time she was described as a being worthy of reverence, but she was officially designated as an evil dragon relatively recently in dragon history.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

— After the Dragon-Demon War, that is, after the death of Godwin.

It was the first day a dragon of the continent died.

The Black Dragon and incarnation of darkness.

— The Black Dragon Godwin was known as the dragon who dominated darkness, but later it was discovered that chaos was also an essence that had been granted to him. antenna Godwin revealed his ambition and became the origin of all demons, plunging the continent into chaos. adopt However, the other rulers intervened and he finally died at the hands of the Red Dragon Valdrova.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

The uncontrolled fury of Valdrova.

“And then?”

— The most accepted hypothesis is that, during the process of killing him, Godwin’s power destabilized Valdrova’s power. amber As a result, the essence of her power could not be contained and caused secondary damage.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Innocent humans, creatures and even Silverwind.’

With the appearance of the Demon King many people died, but her loss of control also killed and burned many more.

A tragedy for which she would have to atone eternally.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“Is there no way to suppress that?”

She was reviewing all the books stored in her mind.

Morida closed her eyes.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

“I see.”

She shook her head.

After five minutes of meditation, she opened her eyes.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

If there existed a method to suppress the Red Dragon, the incarnation of strength,
could she still be called the incarnation of strength?

From the beginning it was a contradiction.

Perda accepted it calmly.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

She was condemned to suffer eternally because of her own power.

Perda tormented himself.

‘Is there truly nothing I can do for her?’

He imagined her figure tearing off her scales and bleeding.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

At that moment.

The helplessness crushed him like an enormous weight, and despair pierced his heart like a thousand spears.

‘If only I could do something for her…’

It was a pain similar to what he felt when he absorbed her heart.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

A tool does not move by its own will.

Morida, who held the pen, had pulled on his clothes.

A small tug struck the collar of his clothing.

If she moved, it meant that a prior order from Perda had been activated.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

Morida nodded.

— Based on the available information, I have identified a hypothesis to suppress it.

She moved the pen again.

“Has a situation appeared in which you can give an answer?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 21: Reason Why She Is an Evil Dragon published by TrungTu Reads.

— According to the hypothesis, Perda Valdrova, you can suppress her.

The moment Perda read the next sentence, the thick fog in his heart dissipated and the sun came out.

Morida’s eyes looked at him clearly.
