I Married the Dragon I Killed

“We do not know the details, but… it is certain that he has ability if he managed to convince Stephan Pascal, the head of the branch. beacon He is not someone who is easily persuaded by simple titles or positions.”

“The regent? alien Do you mean… Valdrova’s fiancé?”

Count Consilus asked in surprise.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah…”

What image did he have now?

An empty sigh escaped from Count Consilus’s lips.

Perda Valdrova.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

The worst possible.

Until now, the only thing he had done was watch and threaten the regional lords.

‘That brat… was negotiating with the Pascal Trading Company?’

Because of that, discontent among the local lords had been accumulating.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

And the second thing that surprised him was—

‘And he did not do it for personal ambition.’

It surprised him that, without anyone knowing, he had reached an agreement with the Pascal Trading Company.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Trying to activate commerce meant seeking the development of the stagnant and isolated territories.

‘What kind of conditions did he offer?’

If he had wanted to satisfy his personal ambition, it would have been enough for him to focus on Valdrova Castle.

That was something very far from a selfish interest.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

The territories under Duchess Valdrova had no value.

Even if trees were cut down to create farmland, the most that could be obtained were meager harvests of emergency crops.

To block the monsters, the forests spread densely in front of the battlefront.

Furthermore, every year the front line retreated, leaving the land more and more devastated.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

‘No lord… could do something like that.’

That was the image of the far east.

That meant that Perda had offered conditions capable of overcoming all those disadvantages.

Even if those lands were given away, people responded this is too much and withdrew.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

It did not matter if what he had shown was a lie or something absurd.

Consilus decided to do what corresponded first.

What mattered was that it had worked.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

“Enter. alpha Organize the carriages and rest today. auction I will listen to the plan later.”

The man blew a whistle and the carriages of the Pascal Trading Company began to enter one by one.

Consilus raised his gaze toward the mountain that rose over the sky after passing through the dark forest.

“Thank you, count.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Today, Count Consilus pronounced that name as if he had witnessed an extraordinary being who had emerged from the darkness.

Consilus knelt in that direction and showed respect.

His voice was full of emotion.

“Lord Regent…”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Arwen was surprised by that sudden gesture.

Then one more.

“My lord?”

But he soon understood its meaning and also knelt looking in the same direction.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

***

They knelt and paid respect toward the solitary mountain.

And another more.

One after another.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

“Torment!”

It was the name of a superior wind spirit.

Ruri, who was in the banquet hall, raised her hand.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

— You have called me, my lady? album Today you also seem to be in a bad mood.

The figure bowed respectfully before Ruri.

At that moment, a white wind began to swirl in front of Ruri and revealed its form.

It looked like a human figure that could disperse at any moment, but it remained firm.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

The next name she shouted was that of another lower water spirit.

“Today we begin another great cleaning. action Summon all the lower spirits without leaving a single one. aluminum Open all the windows and completely remove the air from this room.”

— I will obey your order.

“Source!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

“Absorb and clean all the broth and filth those bastards left behind. antenna Do not leave even a single stain. arctic We cannot allow them to mark the place of the great sovereign as if it were dog urine. arctic Understood?”

— Chubak.

Mana began to drip in the air and took shape like a viscous liquid.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

The spirits moved quickly when they sensed that Ruri was more irritated than usual.

The sound of water stirring strongly was heard.

— Chubabak!

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Ruri’s small chest rose and fell strongly.

The water spirit began to divide repeatedly, dispersing its body to absorb the filth from the floor and the castle walls.

“Huff…”

The mixed smell of sweat and perfume still seemed to float faintly in the air and irritated her nose.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

She especially hated wandering knights.

A smell that seemed impossible to erase no matter how much she tried.

Ruri did not like knights.

‘How irritating.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Not only did they lie to exaggerate their feats, but they also did not hesitate to insult.

That tale formed seventy percent of the knights’ feats and was one of the people’s favorite stories.

The insult Ruri referred to was the typical story of the brave knight who faced an evil dragon.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Dragon slayers who ran down the hallway while wetting themselves.

Because the bards received money from the wandering knights and changed the protagonist to the name of the knight who paid.

Because of that, approximately half of the wandering knights were known as dragon slayers.

And curiously the story was always the same, only the name changed.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

More than fifty wandering knights had come.

There were no more repulsive creatures.

‘At least they achieved the objective.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

‘But that was solved by the second son of the Pascal Trading Company we brought this time.’

They had even said in astonishment “Isn’t it too much?” when they saw the mountain of bodies.

The problem was also what to do with them afterward.

And when adding what they brought, it exceeded one thousand five hundred corpses.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

The smell of the bodies could still be faintly perceived.

Even so, at the entrance and in the places where they had parked the carriages there were traces of monster corpses.

A group of workers and research assistants with verified identities arrived quickly and took care of everything.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

The smell of monster corpses eventually disappeared.

But that unpleasant smell did not seem to want to leave.

It was better than the smell of sweat and perfume from the knights.

‘I never thought the smell of those disgusting things would seem better to me.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Ruri liked cleanliness, but she was not someone obsessive.

Cleaning and cleaning the banquet hall again and again.

Simply the impact the knights had left had been too great.

A cleaning that would normally finish in ten minutes took her two hours a day for ten days.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah, right. avalanche Good work, Torment, Source.”

— My lady, it is already time for you to continue with other tasks. acid What do you wish to do?

Only when not a single hair remained on the floor and the floor looked completely new could she finally relax.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

— Chubabak!

— Then we will withdraw.

The wind and water spirits turned back into mana and dispersed.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

She took a document with a summary of the information obtained through the Empire’s Intelligence Department and descended to the lair.

Ruri left the banquet hall while checking the hidden pocket inside her skirt.

‘Today’s cleaning ends here now I must go present the weekly report.’

As always, a dragon with red scales was there, coiled.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

“It is the weekly report. admire Today is the day I come to present it, is it not?”

— Hmm Yes, I have been well. acquire What have you come to talk about?

“Yes. amber Have you been well?”

— Have you come?

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

‘She feels… distracted.’

— Ah… right.

Ruri was already used to her forgetting things frequently, but today’s reaction was different from usual.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda. attic That man.

And it was not necessary to see what those thoughts were.

She looked like someone who lived lost in other thoughts.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

She began by speaking about the Empire, the most important matter.

It was so obvious that Ruri did not mention it and went directly to the main matter.

“They have enacted laws focused on granting intensive privileges to the ruling classes, and the lower sectors are reacting with discontent. admire Because of that they are trying to calm the situation with entertainment for the citizens and food distribution.”

“They say the political situation of the Empire has been becoming unstable lately.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Valdrova responded automatically.

Here such a thing happened.

It was evident that she did not have much interest, but Ruri continued reading the contents of the document mechanically.

— Hmm… I see.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

After finishing the news that covered the entire continent, she moved on to the next point.

There another thing happened.

“And regarding the current situation of the Duchy…”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Valdrova’s body moved immediately.

— Say it.

She adjusted herself in her place, lifted her head, and sharpened her ears.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Her voice became clearer.

Ruri did not like that either, but she maintained neutrality.

And her eyes seemed brighter than usual.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

“The position of Tesalos Wolcher remains vacant, but a contract has been signed with the heir of a large trading company, which has secured great stability for the Duchy.”

With a single line saying that everything was going well, her mood had risen.

— I see.

Her voice sounded different from usual, almost nostalgic.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you like him that much?”

‘Since that day it is even more evident.’

Ruri could no longer endure it.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

“Perda.”

— What do you mean?

Gruu—

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Valdrova was agitated like a girl.

For someone seeing her for the first time it would seem that she was angry, but Ruri knew the truth.

Steam came out from Valdrova’s nostrils.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

“You do not like him?”

— That I like him? acoustic What does that mean? atomic I am not saying that I like my fiancé.

— Of course not.

Valdrova added with a serious face.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

But Ruri thought something different.

Valdrova defended herself passionately saying she only worried because he was weak.

— I only remember sometimes the moment when he suddenly appeared. autumn And I worry a little about his well-being. wizard Is he not a weak human?

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

But when it was something related to Perda, the feeling was completely different.

Whenever the topic was something related to humans, she first showed tension.

‘Valdrova is speaking more than usual.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Normally her state was gloomy.

To relieve that state a little, Ruri made a proposal.

Now she seemed to float in the air.

“Then, how about organizing a tea gathering?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

— You mean drinking tea, eating sweets, and talking?

Gruu!

Valdrova expelled air through her nose again.

— A tea gathering?

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

— Hmm…

“The Duchess Valdrova, whose beauty is the greatest on the continent, would look good in any situation.”

— A tea gathering… that is not something that suits me. avalanche Those kinds of things are for pretty young girls.

“Yes. sphere It is common for human fiancés to meet beforehand and talk. adjust Confirming their feelings before the wedding.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

— A meeting… then I would have to appear in human form.

She rested her chin on her claws and sighed.

But there was still something preventing her from accepting.

She did not seem entirely displeased.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

It was like someone hungry rejecting the banquet that had been prepared.

“Yes.”

— Hmm… then I cannot go.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

— Because it is embarrassing.

It was a reason not at all worthy of a sovereign.

“What is the reason?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

“You also held hands.”

— Yes, we saw each other once.

“…Have you not already seen each other once? antenna I understand that you met face to face in human form.”

Ruri took a deep breath and asked.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Valdrova saw Perda.

— Yes, we held our hands.

And Perda saw Valdrova.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Valdrova remembered that moment.

How could she forget the memory of that day?

— That is why I cannot.

Just as Perda remembered it vividly, it also remained vivid in Valdrova’s mind.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

When he was bleeding from the nose it seemed he might collapse at any moment.

That man who did not stop despite the pain.

She had no choice but to transform into human form with Polymorph and hold him.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

A dragon who had crossed countless battlefields, burning and destroying everything that stained the earth.

While crying as she watched him suffer, Perda took her hand and pulled her toward him, wrapping his arm around her waist.

An existence whose strength was so overwhelming that one could not even speak of power before her.

An absolute being before whom everyone held their breath and lowered their heads.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

That day, for the first time, Valdrova became the princess and the woman of novels.

But when that man wrapped his arm around her waist, all that glory became an illusion and her body lost its strength.

A man thousands of times weaker than her brought his face close to hers.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

The warmth of a man’s hand, a warm greeting, and also a beautiful smile.

For someone who had not had contact with humans for hundreds of years, it was too much information to endure.

— It is a pleasure to meet you, my heart.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

She remained frozen.

Her mind became completely blank and even the tears that were about to come out disappeared.

Because of that Valdrova could not do anything.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

‘My heart…’

— Gruu!!

Even when he collapsed weakly against her chest, she remained motionless for a long time.

All those actions were still alive in her memory.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

And at the same time she remembered her own embarrassment.

She remembered what Perda had done.

Valdrova covered her face.

Just thinking about it made her reaction return.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Something tickled her body and she felt the urge to move.

And when she became agitated like that, she forgot to breathe and her chest filled with air.

Her heart burned like a lava furnace.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

A long sound similar to a whistle echoed through the cave.

Valdrova slowly expelled that air.

Hiiiuuuuuuu…

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Whenever she filled with happiness beyond what she could contain, she made that sound.

It was the sound Ruri hated the most.

‘That sound again…’

It was a hundred times better than unhappiness.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Valdrova looked at Ruri from between the wings with which she covered her face.

“I think a tea gathering would be a good option. arcade What do you wish to do?”

— What do you think I should do?

But it was not pleasant either.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

“You are the incarnation of power. crystal The incarnation of power must know how to express her will firmly.”

Valdrova scratched her chin with her claw.

In other words, she should not pass the decision to her.

— That is true… I must do it…

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

‘She is dying to go.’

She tilted her head again and again.

She turned around with her enormous body while thinking and thinking again.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

But having desires did not mean everything would turn out as she wanted.

Ruri had already understood the answer from Valdrova’s gestures.

Even though she was capable of burning and destroying monsters without hesitation, deep down she was the most cowardly.

Her desire was also directed toward Perda.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Valdrova was the kind who flipped the table even when someone pushed her toward the food.

— For now… I want to stay here for a while… I still do not have the courage to face my fiancé.

“I understand. agent Then we will postpone the tea gathering. sphere I will take my leave.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

— Ruri.

“Yes.”

Ruri bowed and turned around.

— Have you had a lot of work lately?

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

— Ah, I see. august I thought you had not even had time to bathe because you smell quite a lot like sweat.

“No. portal Nothing in particular.”

Ruri did not understand the intention of the question.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Like sweat?”

But Valdrova’s, being a dragon, was even better.

Ruri’s sense of smell was excellent.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

When she returned to her room, Ruri tore off her clothes and burned them.

And Ruri did not sweat simply from managing the castle.

— Do not overexert yourself. zenith I do not wish you to push yourself too much.

“…Do not worry, my lady.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda was in his office together with Morida.

And she decided that before any knight ever set foot in the castle again, it would be mandatory for everyone to wash first.

***

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda wanted to convert the results obtained into quantifiable values.

Recently, after joining forces with Stephan Pascal, he had managed to solve the supply problem that not even the Empire had been able to resolve.

“How is the progress of the supply plan elements going?”

Morida responded in writing.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

— If the supply plan continues, it will contribute 30% to the stability of civilian life, increase the individual combat capability of the troops by 45%, and produce a 30% increase in morale.

“What are the prospects due to the supply?”

— 32%. zenith The most important supplies have already been completed by concentrating them in the territory of Count Consilus. amateur Gradually we will continue supplying the other territories.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

It was something that should make Perda happy, since he had moved for the development of the territory.

Mori nodded.

“It seems the potential is maximum.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

“A big problem will arise soon.”

Perda did not seem so happy.

But.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Morida tilted her head with curiosity.

“In the world there are people who cannot stand seeing others prosper.”

Perda answered that silent question.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

People who, even if they themselves were mediocre, could not stand seeing others stand out.

And those types right now occupied the top of the Arken Empire.

When something begins to go well, those who try to ruin it always appear.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 27: Because it is Embarrassing published by TrungTu Reads.

Not even a few days passed before the greedy ones threw themselves against Perda.
