I Married the Dragon I Killed

But upon seeing those expressions, Perda gained even more confidence.

“Today, taking advantage of this occasion, I want to speak about Valdrova, who will be my companion.”

Some of those present, the weakest in spirit, looked as if they were about to faint.

“In the Far East, a land where all creatures once could dwell, it was devastated by the Black Dragon Godwin, turning it into a land of death where magical beasts emerge without end.”

“The great red dragon Valdrova has fought for 150 years against those beasts, without receiving any reward. atlas And even so, what title has been given to my companion?”

But that, over time, became an object of contempt and mockery.

With that certainty, he reinforced his words.

A name that once spread terror among all.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda’s gaze swept across the audience.

There were many, but their expressions were predictable.

The indifferent.

“Tyrant. album Evil dragon. adjust The beasts always advance from those corrupted lands. palette They tear her scales and her flesh. auction Her claws rise to protect her lands and her families. aluminum And even with such sacrifice, she has never asked for anything in return. amber Even in the midst of pain and tears, she has remained silent, fighting without yielding. audit We have received her grace. timber Even beasts repay the favors they receive. arctic That is why today I speak here to clear her name.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

And those calculating how to take advantage of the situation.

The interested.

But all were looking in the same direction.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

“Perda Valdrova, the regent, correct?”

The Dragon Spawn.

The servants of the immortals.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

No.

Would it be opposition from the Silver Dragon Spawn?

Someone spoke.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

The leader of Iorga’s Spawn.

Blue hair, non-sharp horns.

It was a female voice, elegant.

‘Erika Iorga.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

She stood up with elegance.

“A pleasure to meet you, regent Perda. sphere I am Erika Iorga, representative of Iorga and mistress of the Tower of Blue Eyes.”

Her appearance was so majestic that she could be mistaken for an imperial princess.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

“I do not like to begin with criticism in our first meeting, but given the nature of your proposal, I will go straight to the point.”

“The pleasure is mine.”

Her eyes fixed on Perda.

A light blue, but with a sharp gaze.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

“In summary, my answer to that proposal is simple no.”

And the worst part.

The conviction in her gaze was firm.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Her tone was calm and logical.

“150 years ago, during the Dragon-Demon War, Valdrova pierced Godwin’s heart and was recognized as a war heroine.”

Was that she dragged the entire assembly to her side.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

“I assume that, as Valdrova’s fiancé and the one who presented this proposal, you have researched enough.”

“But it did not end there. beacon Valdrova lost control of her power. album Countless people, races, and lives died. crystal Do you know how many?”

Erika did not wait for an answer.

But Perda was not swayed.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Half in half a day.

Perda answered firmly.

“Half of the victims of the entire war against Godwin.”

The greatest tragedy recorded in history.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Goz Silverwind.

Erika shifted her gaze.

Toward another place.

“Exactly. agent Half of twelve years of war in just half a day.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Goz did not speak.

“The leader of the Silver Dragons, Silverwind, also died because of it.”

Or rather, he could not.

He was a man of action, not words.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

But Perda did not waver.

“The case is different from Godwin’s. atomic At that time it was a total war. shadow The entire continent surrounded Godwin. album There were countless soldiers and creatures gathered. atomic In that chaos, it was inevitable that they would become easy prey.”

If he was going to retreat, he would never have spoken.

He pressed his lips, holding himself back.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

“And she killed Silverwind. amateur A brave warrior, an exemplary leader who valued others more than anyone.”

“But she was also the one who ended Godwin, who tormented the continent for those twelve years.”

“The important thing is that she lost control and caused those deaths. voyage She killed, in half a day, half of what Godwin did in twelve years.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Evidence.

In a single day, Valdrova caused the death of the worst evil dragon and the greatest guardian dragon.

But Perda had something.

It was inevitable that her position would be left in question.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

“That loss of control was not Valdrova’s will, nor something inherent to the nature of her power.”

“It was simply a phenomenon caused by the contamination of the chaos that resided in the heart of the evil dragon, Godwin.”

“If it is not her nature, then what was it?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Erika’s gaze became sharper.

“In Godwin’s heart resided chaos. echo And the one who was closest to that chaos was Valdrova. orbit By directly destroying that core, it was inevitable that she would receive its influence, whether she wanted to or not.”

To be able to say this, Perda had discussed the matter extensively with Morida.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda knew it.

“Valdrova was not the only one who fought in that place. arena Everyone fought desperately. antique Many were closer, many were more injured.”

“It is true that Valdrova was the one closest to Godwin. sphere But you are making a mistake.”

Erika once again dominated the atmosphere.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Erika shifted her gaze toward an old man at her side.

“And Odograsa?”

“If your argument were correct, all the dragons present should have been affected. apple Even Iorga, who suffered severe injuries. athlete Yet she remains perfectly fine.”

After comparing records, it was clear that Valdrova, in comparison, had suffered less damage.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

A firm denial.

“Odograsa is protected by golden faith. action He would not fall to such a superficial trick from Godwin.”

The old man responded with a laugh.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

Erika raised her head.

“You see? atomic If what you say were true, many would have been corrupted in that war.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

“That chaos seeped in from destroying the heart? portal It is possible. amateur But look at the present. galaxy While others overcame their wounds, what has Valdrova done?”

Her voice filled with emotion.

Perda began to see Erika differently.

“She does not fight to protect anything. absorb She is like a beast that has tasted blood. meadow That destructive nature that awakened can no longer be reversed. airport The beasts that come from the cursed land are the only thing that can contain that instinct, and she chose that place because it brings no consequences. acid That is why she remains near that land but without any intention of eliminating it.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

A wall of the north.

Not just any wall.

She was a wall.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda had seen it.

Like the great barrier that stopped ice giants and demons.

The Frost Wall.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Beyond that wall, there was neither compassion nor tolerance.

It left no room.

It only offered absolute rejection.

Erika’s argument was the same.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda did not understand.

‘Why…?’

If it were Silverwind showing anger, he would understand.

‘Why are they so determined to destroy her?’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda observed the atmosphere.

And yet, she was desperate not to leave even the slightest possibility.

But Iorga had no relation at all.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Disgusting.’

Many nobles supported Erika.

Alexander, who earlier seemed to be on his side, now remained silent, calculating.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

To Perda, they all seemed eager to destroy her, to tear her apart.

He did not understand politics.

But he did understand humans.

‘It was to be expected.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

If Perda did not carry Valdrova’s name, they would already be devouring him.

‘Even so…’

He had always known that.

When someone becomes a target, everyone unites to bring them down.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

But even so.

And the more it boiled, the colder his face became.

Anger began to boil.

From the beginning, he had stopped believing that he could persuade them.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

It was not easy.

The anger he had buried mocked him.

To have to remain still in front of all this.

He felt the agitation in his heart.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Must you endure all of this all these slanders and still continue protecting what you love?

‘Valdrova… my heart…’

So he asked within himself.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Something fragile like a sprout breaking through the damp earth at dawn but capable of melting his frozen heart and engraved in the deepest part of his being answered.

His heart, which was boiling, calmed.

Then—

The mockery of anger disappeared.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

You will love everyone.

“Then…”

Even so.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

“Prove what?”

At his words, Erika asked.

“I will prove it.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

From the platform, Perda spoke with absolute clarity.

“That the fact that she has taken the Far East as her base is not to vent her destructive instinct but for another reason.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Only to help her spread her firm wings.

“As a representative of the Far East, as regent of the domain of Valdrova, and as Valdrova’s fiancé, I will make this declaration before all.”

He raised his head with pride and, in a firm voice, marked each word into everyone’s ears.

Then, what Perda had to do was very simple.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

“Conquer the cursed land?”

“I will purify and reclaim this land corrupted by the father of the demonic, origin of chaos, the evil dragon Godwin.”

At those words, the entire Grand Council erupted into murmurs.

It was a declaration of conquest of the cursed land.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

“That land that not even the immortals could dominate…?”

It was natural.

The reactions were of disbelief.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

And now.

For a hundred years, countless people tried and were defeated.

All had failed.

Since the Dragon-Demon War, many had tried to conquer that place.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

“Just as she desires the peace of the continent, I will also act so that everyone understands that the title of evil dragon is an injustice.”

“The objective of the great Valdrova, embodiment of power and fire, is to eradicate the magical beasts that arise in that land. alert And the final objective of that eradication is the conquest of the cursed land.”

A young regent challenged the impossible.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda was a newcomer.

That declaration shook the entire Council.

He was 18 years old, without experience.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

But here.

It was more than enough to call him arrogant.

In any place, age and experience carry weight.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

But deep down—

On the surface, they thought he spoke with Valdrova’s authority behind him.

It was not so simple.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Perhaps that man could achieve it.

There was something more.

A faint hope.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Blancaros’s voice echoed calmly.

“This matter…”

Even the Dragon Spawn were surprised.

And all the noise disappeared.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

The fact that he spoke personally gave it absolute weight.

Perda could not refuse.

Blancaros spoke directly.

“We will leave it here for now, regent.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

With that, Perda was satisfied.

He returned to his seat.

“Thank you for allowing me to speak.”

His debut had ended.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

For Perda, they had no importance.

He did not listen.

“Let us move on to the next topic.”

After that, irrelevant discussions began.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Her name echoed in his mind.

As a former mage of vengeance, his instinct engraved it deeply.

‘Erika Iorga.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

He tried to ignore it.

Then—

— Regent Perda, can you hear me?

‘It is useless.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

As if you name her and she appears.

— I have heard your opinion well.

Telepathy.

Erika’s voice echoed in his mind.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda gathered mana in his finger.

He brought it to his head.

Just enough not to seem hostile.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

— Your proposal has been received positively by me, Erika Iorga, and furthermore.

Perda had blocked the telepathy.

The link was broken.

Cut.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Erika was startled.

What are you doing?

She turned her head toward him.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda stared at her.

She tried again.

‘Get lost.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda cut it again.

— No, listen.

— Wait, regent Perda. alert I understand that you are emotional. armor But if you listen to me—

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 52: Still published by TrungTu Reads.

For the next thirty minutes, until the session ended, they clashed in a constant exchange she trying to communicate and he blocking every attempt.

Cut again.
