Zed and Arwen, who had been waiting for him, approached.
“If we’re talking about disrespect, yes, there was.”
Zed, observing his expression, asked.
“Were you disrespected in there? riddle You look like you want to kill someone.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
That was why it was better not to engage in pointless arguments.
He had to endure them calling Valdrova an evil dragon.
For someone who became a great mage through vengeance, it was not easy to ignore those emotions.
Perda changed the subject.

“She said she had something to do before the meeting ended and left. ability I don’t know where…”
“I see.”
“Ruri?”
“Ruri… now that you mention it… where did she go?”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
Perda did not insist.
“It doesn’t matter. riddle She’s not someone easy to control.”
“I’m sorry, I should have found out beforehand…”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
‘Speak…’
In any case, he already knew where she had gone.
From what Ruri had said earlier, she was probably heading to speak with Silverwind.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
If Perda had spoken to him at that moment, a fight would likely have broken out.
He was restraining his anger with obvious clumsiness.
Perda recalled the look Goz Silverwind had given when that was mentioned.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
Just as he was thinking that—
If not for Blancaros’s neutral zone, it could have been much worse.
‘I doubt that conversation will go well.’
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
A completely white man, fitting the surroundings.
“Regent Perda Valdrova?”
Impeccable posture, worthy of a subordinate of the absolute of the neutral zone.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“In private?”
It was the Hand of Blancaros.
“My lord calls for you. amateur Could you accompany me?”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Yes. palette He wishes to speak about the proposal you presented.”
It was unusual.
‘But this time he had no choice.’
Blancaros did not usually summon humans privately in order to maintain neutrality.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
In fact, that was the reason Perda had restrained his anger.
“Understood.”
“This way, please.”
He had intervened directly in the proposal, so he needed to hear from the proposer.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
Blancaros’s audience chamber did not seem fitting for a dragon.
***
Perda followed his guide.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
But this place.
And the council hall was indeed like that.
One would expect something grand, imposing, worthy of emperors.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Come in.”
Neither too large, nor excessively majestic.
It resembled the office of a small feudal lord.
Was surprisingly human.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
In the white space, there was a blue presence.
Perda stopped upon entering.
Blancaros received him with his own voice, seated behind a marble desk.
He was not alone.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
Her expression became even more unpleasant upon seeing him.
She was already seated.
She stared at him.
Erika Iorga.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
Behind him, Zed and Arwen began to sweat.
Perda shrugged.
“Me do something wrong? voyage Impossible.”
“Why is she looking at you like that? altitude Did you do something wrong?”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
He ignored Erika and greeted Blancaros.
Perda did not respond and walked forward.
“Sure you did…”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Pffft…!”
“I have nothing to discuss with this woman. timber May I leave?”
He slightly turned his head toward Erika.
“I appreciate the invitation, Blancaros, but…”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
The direct insult, and Zed and Arwen bursting behind him.
Calling someone of the level of a Dragon Spawn “this woman” was practically suicide.
“Cough!”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
Erika, on the other hand, looked at him in disbelief.
Blancaros sighed, as if he expected it.
“Hmm…”
“Th-this woman…?”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
And besides, she could not use force here.
She smiled.
But she restrained herself.
This meeting was to talk.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
Perda covered his ears.
“As you wish.”
“It is a pleasure to see you again, regent Perda. avalanche Instead of telepathy, let us speak face to face.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“I am within my rights. afford You insulted my fiancée. apron Did you expect me to speak nicely to you? adapt What would happen if I called you a water lizard, Iorga?”
“Are you going to keep behaving like a child?”
Erika’s smile disappeared.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Cough, cough…”
If it were up to them, they would have run away at that very moment.
“Ah…”
Zed and Arwen almost choked.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Let us consider that we have both insulted each other. arcade In addition, I will apologize for my words. galaxy But I had reasons for doing so.”
At those words, Erika restrained herself.
She bit her lower lip hard and took a deep breath to calm down.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“First, let us have the servants withdraw and speak only among superiors.”
She had endured the insult, so it was clear she intended to talk.
Perda removed his hands from his ears.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Yes!”
“Understood. canvas Both of you, withdraw.”
As soon as the order was given, they hurried out.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Wow, such trustworthy words.”
In the white space, only three people remained.
Perda responded with sarcasm.
“To speak plainly, since emotions are high I am on Valdrova’s side.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“You don’t believe me. atomic I was on the frontlines of that war. altitude I saw all the dragons fight with my own eyes. arrow And I still remember her figure with complete clarity.”
“Although all of Iorga maintains a stance of vigilance toward Valdrova, the high command values her contributions greatly.”
Of course, sure.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“The image of her single-handedly stopping the moment when Godwin tried to drag this continent into total destruction…”
He too had witnessed that battle.
The hairs on her arms stood on end.
Blancaros closed his eyes in silence.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
Erika continued.
“And you expect me to believe that after seeing how they ridiculed her and tried to bring her down?”
“Delivering the final blow to Godwin, who was trying to destroy everything without distinguishing between evil or guardian dragons, involved enormous risk. matrix All the dragons knew it. auction And they hesitated. airport But Valdrova rushed in without thinking. antenna It was like a black mass pierced by a red spear that collapses. adapt Of course the result ended in another terrible tragedy. adopt Even so, she is not someone who should bear the name of evil dragon.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Because if I didn’t, it would have been dangerous!”
“That is why I apologize for the insult. arcade But I had to do it.”
“You had to humiliate her? aspect Does that make any sense?”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Silverwind.”
Perda recalled Silverwind, who had not said a single word.
“Dangerous how?”
Another group of dragons.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“If I had not intervened, they would have. autumn Those idiots with ice in their heads would have turned this meeting into a disaster. accent Before you even declared the conquest of the Far East, they would have already demanded a war between dragons.”
Erika fell silent.
“You’re saying you attacked and ridiculed everything just to protect me?”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“That a perfect being becomes imperfect is an extremely dangerous precedent. orbit Enough to collapse the balance of the continent.”
For a moment, in Erika’s eyes, a wounded beast was reflected.
She seemed to hesitate about whether to say it or not.
“It’s not just for you, regent Perda. arctic As you said if it is not her nature, but madness caused by Godwin’s corruption…”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
And why Blancaros had closed the matter unilaterally.
Why she had been so hostile toward Valdrova.
Perda understood.
Perda summarized his understanding in a single sentence.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“At first, it was only a slight sense of strangeness. acoustic Many dragon spawn suffered aftereffects after the battle against Godwin. arctic But in the last 30 years she could no longer endure it. harbor She is becoming unstable.”
Erika nodded with a pained expression.
“It seems that Iorga also presents the same symptoms.”
“And now?”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Then and Odograsa?”
That meant that Iorga, the authority of magic, was absent.
“She has entered hibernation. aluminum She decided not to move until a solution is found.”
Perda thought of something else.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
Then everything fit.
Those wrapped in faith naturally believe in their perfection.
“We do not know for certain. athlete He has no spawn, and being himself a deity to his followers, he would not reveal his weakness to anyone.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
‘It was a problem capable of shaking the entire dragon society.’
Seeing that Perda understood, Erika lowered her tone and explained calmly.
This was not just Valdrova’s problem.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
Perda stood up, as if there were nothing more to hear.
“I see.”
“If it is accepted that her nature is not that of an evil dragon, but that she is affected by Godwin everyone would be in danger. adapt Not only Valdrova, but also the position of the others. galaxy It would be an easy target for those who provoke chaos, such as the purple dragons or the war dragons. arch That is why we are buying time until we find a solution.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Coward…?”
Erika was about to explode.
“Then it only means you are a coward.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
But it was only for an instant.
“What do you plan to do in the end?” he asked.
As soon as she saw Perda’s eyes, she was completely overwhelmed.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“What end do you refer to?”
“That…”
“If you keep hiding it like this, what will you do when the moment comes when everything comes to light, when there is no turning back?”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Isn’t that so?”
“Do you think I would do something so despicable?”
“Will you hide your secret even if it means sacrificing my fiancée’s life?”
Erika could not respond.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Let us leave the conversation here. atom May I go?”
She could not affirm it, but neither could she deny it.
She remained silent, clenching her fists like someone mute.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“…You may.”
Nothing had been resolved, but neither was it something that could be resolved at that moment.
Perda looked at Blancaros.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
She could do nothing.
Erika remained motionless in her place.
With permission granted, Perda left.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
The eyes filled with contempt from Perda.
She had been surpassed by a human, being the leader of the dragon spawn.
How pathetic.
And even so, if the same situation happened again, Erika knew she would freeze again.

In them, she saw fragments of her own future.

“Uaaah…”
He was tirelessly processing the documents that President Erdes had left for four consecutive days.
The man moved the pen making sounds like a ghoul from hell.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Uaaah… huh?”
Shortly after, a circular spark appeared in front of him.
Normally he would have stood up to receive her, but Lu did not even have the energy to think about that.
He knew perfectly who caused that phenomenon.

The one who greeted cheerfully was Erdes.
“Blue! timber I’m back!”
“You’re back already?”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“I finished the meeting and came straight here. canvas Hey, I missed all the fun.”
More than someone returning from a meeting, she looked like someone coming from tourism.
“For someone coming from a meeting, you look a bit strange.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
Lu sighed, finished reviewing the last document, and collapsed onto the desk.
“…How could there be?”
“Did you finish everything?”
“How picky. echo After finishing I went for a walk around the city. amateur Any problem?”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“For now, yes.”
“Perfect… but strange.”
“You see? harbor This is how work should be distributed. acid I rest and Blue works. sphere Perfect distribution, right?”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
Well, at least there would be something tasty.
“And besides, I brought specialty sweet bread from there. sphere Where do you find such a considerate boss?”
Erdes raised her eyebrows proudly.

“…It’s empty.”
“Really? meadow Ah, it was so good I ate it all. aluminum Sorry. voyage Can you throw away the box?”

Lu opened the box.

“Damn it…”
“I quit. silence I resign.”
“Ah, that won’t do. acid Blue must serve me a thousand more years. accent There is no option. alert That is our contract.”

“How was what?”
“You didn’t go because of that Perda Valdrova, right?”
Lu pretended to cry with a desperate expression.
“So… how was it?”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Peculiar?”
“That guy? beacon Hmm…”
She rested her chin on her index finger and moved her head before answering.
“He was… peculiar.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“No matter how much they hype it, it doesn’t change anything. athlete He was just interesting.”
“For you, the strongest Archmage of humanity, to say that?”
Lu’s eyes widened.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“And he also learned black magic. acid You could smell it.”
“That guy had a Red Circle.”
Erdes sat on the desk and looked at Lu.
“Red Circle?!”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“B-black magic?!”
“Th-that guy… is still alive?”
Lu’s face turned pale.
It was not fear of black magic.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“I couldn’t just mess with him like that. august He’s the fiancé of that crazy dragon. absorb Why look for trouble?”
“Well… if he came back without causing trouble… that man must really be peculiar.”
Erdes frowned, uncomfortable.
“Of course. alert What do you think, that I’m some crazy killer who kills without thinking?”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Blue. legend If your parents suddenly disappeared, how would you feel?”
Her dangling leg began to swing.
“Uh… I don’t know. absorb I guess I’d get angry.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“You probably would… but a normal person would also feel sad.”
“Only anger? riddle Would you say I won’t forgive them! and that’s it?”
Erdes snapped her fingers.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Exactly. alert A storm of emotions. atlas It is normal to be overwhelmed without being able to distinguish which one dominates. timber It is almost impossible to cling to just one.”
“Don’t you understand what I’m saying?”
“I guess…”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Do you want to copy it 50 times?”
“Ah, wait… I think I’m starting to understand…”
“Idiot. adjust With something like that, you can’t create a Red Circle.”
“Sorry, my head can’t handle that much…”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Ugh! avalanche That’s too much! antenna While you were gone I did all the work too!”
“Ah, I really had understood it.”
“You’re stupid and stubborn. altitude It will be 100 copies.”
“One thing is work and another is life.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“So, what you’re saying is that Perda Valdrova shouldn’t be able to have a Red Circle?”
“Exactly.”
Lu grumbled, and Erdes clicked her tongue.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“But emotions are something relative, right?”
“The Red Circle forms when the balance of emotions breaks. wizard But in adolescence that balance cannot break. acoustic For it to break through anger, he would have to be so broken that he firmly believed that even the reason he gets up every morning is due to anger.”
“That much for you to say that?”
“That’s right. acquire Each person has their own standard. arcade But even taking that into account, that guy called Perda far exceeds my standard.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Uh… it’s a somewhat… strange comparison, but couldn’t it be explained by the fact that he was expelled from his family?”
He became Valdrova’s fiancé.
“That guy accepted it.”
That was practically a death sentence, enough to make any resentment explode.
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“So what you’re saying is that, since there was no trigger that broke the balance, a Red Circle should not be able to form.”
“To accept something means he still has reason. acquire And that, in turn, means his anger is not enough.”
“What does that mean?”
“Exactly.”
Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 53: Unacceptable Precedent published by TrungTu Reads.
“Without meeting the conditions… and yet a Red Circle formed…”
“That’s right.”
“But the regent does have a Red Circle.”

They stared at each other for a long time, until Lu understood.
“Are you saying that Regent Valdrova… made a contract with a demon?”

Even a dog learns something after years.

“Don’t you smell it?”
