I Married the Dragon I Killed

But there, there were temperature-controlled capsules, lined up diagonally like coffins.

A normal prison separates spaces with bars.

What appeared before their eyes was not a normal prison.

Orcs, elves, goblins, even rare races.

Not only humans.

And inside each one, there was a person.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“They’re all alive. agent They’re still breathing.”

“Let’s rescue them quickly!”

All lay there with no trace of color in their faces.

A knight who was observing noticed something.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

When they tried to open a capsule, Zed stopped them.

“What rescue? absorb Our objective is a demon.”

“And you still call yourselves knights?”

“Are we just going to watch innocent people die? advance That goes against knighthood!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“They’re going to die frozen or they’re going to explode. canvas The second is better. arcade I’m going after the demon.”

Zed looked at them with disdain.

“And don’t be idiots.”

Before leaving, he added.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Zed didn’t.

They left with guilt.

They had no choice but to accept that he was right.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Bang! airport Bang! atom Bang!

But it didn’t take long.

They checked the rooms one by one.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“I hope not.”

“Could that be her?”

The screams echoed through the hallway.

“Aaaah! acoustic Let me go! avalanche Let me out! meadow What did I do to be here?!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

A capsule was shaking violently.

“Open this! silence Now! acoustic Don’t you know who I am? anxiety I’m Penelope, daughter of the great demon Sitri!”

They headed toward the source.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

The demon stopped banging, confused.

With a grim expression, the knights opened the capsule.

“Damn, it is her.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“You are—”

“What? legend You’re not guards.”

“Eh? galaxy You actually opened it? amateur Wait! arena Time! voyage Time! adapt Don’t hit me! crystal I’ll stay still! academy Really… huh?”

She slowly opened her eyes.

“Wait! sphere I didn’t do anything! accent I have nothing to do with them! alert Let me li—!”

“Where are the guards? atom Who are you? galaxy Did you come to kill me?”

“Are you Pen—”

Zed covered her mouth.

“From now on, only answer yes or no. admire If it’s yes, nod. armor If it’s no, shake your head. acoustic Understood?”

“Mm.”

Total silence.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

She nodded.

Seeing the sword, Penelope calmed down.

“Be quiet.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

She nods.

“Are you sure?”

“Is your name Penelope?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mm?!”

“We made a deal with Sitri. timber We get you out of here in exchange for infiltrating. album Follow us.”

“I said yes or no.”

She nods.

“Mm mm!”

“Does she want to say something?”

“Yes? avalanche Hey, pink hair. zenith I’ll let you go for three seconds. arrow Speak clearly.”

“She’s resisting a lot.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“Useless. atomic Tie her up and carry her.”

“waitamomentletmeexplainthisisntwhatitlooksliketheycapturedmebutitwasntlikethat—mmff!”

Zed removed his hand.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“Understood.”

She resisted so much that she ended up getting hit and lost consciousness.

The woman didn’t manage to say anything.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda felt something.

It wasn’t his imagination.

As they advanced through the storm.

***

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“What was it?”

“Yes.”

“Did you feel it?”

Consilus, who was at the front, looked back.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“It wasn’t the wind.”

“Then?”

“Silverwind’s dragon spawn. adapt They’re searching for intruders.”

Marco could barely walk.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Marco turned even paler.

But it was dangerous.

“No. accent They passed over us. beacon They haven’t detected us yet.”

“Then we’re in trouble?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Shortly after, a black silhouette appeared through the storm.

If they descended from the sky like meteors, there would be no chance.

“I’ll increase the speed.”

Perda followed Consilus.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

The others were waiting there.

They had returned to the cave.

“Everything ready?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“We have her.”

Pink hair.

Zed lightly kicked the unconscious girl.

“The target?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

White skin.

She shone like marble.

“Quickly.”

But her horns, black eyes, bat wings, and shovel-shaped tail revealed her as a demon.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then we withdraw.”

“There were no problems.”

“The laboratory was empty.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

They boarded the portal.

‘Too easy.’

Perda thought.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Perfect timing.

Three minutes remained.

Neither short nor long.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

As if everything had been calculated.

Demons do not make unfavorable deals.

“We need to hurry.”

‘Too perfect.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“What’s wrong?”

“Toward here?”

Said the mage.

“A dragon spawn is approaching.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

It must not be discovered that someone from the domain of Grand Duchess Valdrova was here.

“Erase all traces! apple Immediate retreat!”

“Yes. athlete They’ve detected us.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

In a hurry, they began erasing traces with the tools they had brought.

Perda thought.

Barely 2 minutes remained.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mm mm…?”

Penelope woke up, looking around.

He had to resolve that uneasy feeling within that time.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

When she saw Zed, her eyes widened.

“Stay still. athlete I’ll make it easy.”

“Mmff! harbor Mmff!”

“Mmff! zenith Mmff!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Pure fear.

Tears and snot ran down her face.

Penelope desperately shook her head.

Zed raised the dagger.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

The dagger stopped.

“Wait.”

“What is it?”

Perda frowned.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Even so, Zed obeyed.

“Uff… thank you. timber No, wait, I have to explain what happened earlier, I—”

“Remove her gag. galaxy I want to hear her.”

“There’s nothing to hear…”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah! action No! canvas Don’t kill me! atlas I’ll answer everything! galaxy Yes!”

“That.”

“Shut up. shadow I decide what you say. voyage Or I’ll slit your throat.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“Demons who die in Serdes just return to hell. abstract Momentary pain. anxiety For you, it’s going home. adjust Isn’t it?”

“W-who isn’t afraid of dying?”

“Why are you afraid of dying?”

Perda gestured with his chin.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“What does that mean?”

Penelope shouted, almost hysterical.

“T-that’s true, but my case is different! alien If I return, I’ll really die!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Penelope cried desperately.

“Because I…”

“My mother doesn’t want me to be rescued! amber She wants me to die! artist I can’t go back to hell!”

“Then tell me why she wants to kill you.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“Don’t think. antenna Tell the truth.”

“I can’t! amber If I say it, something happens! alpha I can’t say it! antique Aaaah! crystal I’m going to go crazy! armor Why am I so stupid?!”

She hesitated.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

She couldn’t say it.

And Sitri wanted to kill her.

Everything pointed to something.

She knew it, but she couldn’t reveal it.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Something he had heard before.

Something he ignored.

There was an answer.

Perda thought.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

At that moment, he understood.

But it was important.

“I see.”

Do not make deals with demons.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“Regent!”

“It was you.”

Perda murmured.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Zed shouted.

They were about to cross.

Perda made a decision.

“You have to come! aspect There’s no time! 30 seconds!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes?”

“Zed.”

He stood up.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Perda threw him his bag.

“Take care of this baggage.”

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

But another object flew toward him.

Pink hair.

Zed caught it.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“Uaaah!”

Penelope’s body slammed into him.

“Ugh!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

The portal closed.

The Binding Bridge only allowed 8.

Both fell into the portal.

“Regent—”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

The shout was cut off.

Alone on the frozen mountain.

Perda was left alone.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

It’s coming.

He would just have to wait.

If he were alone, there would be no problem.

But it wouldn’t be like that.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

A figure emerged from the blizzard.

No moon, yet clearly visible.

At that moment, the sound of the storm began to fade.

In its place, footsteps on the snow.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Silver eyes.

“Well now, this I didn’t expect.”

Silver hair.

Sharp horns.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

A Silver Dragon Spawn.

The same one who had been above them.

He smiled.

“I thought I’d find a rat, but I found something different.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

***

“Nice to meet you, regent of Valdrova.”

Like a cat before a trapped mouse.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

No less than 20 days had passed without touching anything.

She had left spirits in charge of basic cleaning, but without supervision they didn’t work diligently.

Upon returning to Valdrova’s castle, Ruri immediately began cleaning.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you finished?”

— Kyu.

So, late at night, she began to clean.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

— Kkyuung!

“Good work. riddle You may withdraw.”

At the word “withdraw,” the spirits became excited.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Ruri looked at the room she had cleaned.

The spirits assisting her were summoned back.

Soon, she was alone in the room.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

More precisely, the place where Valdrova and Perda would celebrate their wedding and share a room.

For someone who was still only a fiancé, it was something distant.

It was a bedroom.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

The job of a maid was to adjust and maintain the master’s environment.

Ruri was a maid.

But Ruri neglected nothing.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

But in that castle, aside from Ruri, there was no one else.

To reach perfection, at least 100.

Even so, it was enough.

To achieve that environment, normally more than 50 servants were needed.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

And among the Silver Dragon Spawn, she was one of the strongest.

She was a Dragon Spawn.

She was not a weak human maid.

Her ability made it possible to maintain that castle in perfect condition.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Even after decades, the cleanliness remained impeccable without major renovations.

Maintain perfection.

‘That is what I can do.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

In that castle, there was nothing outside her control.

And what is within expectations can be controlled.

Perfection means everything is within expectations.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

At least, until he appeared.

‘Perda…’

Her life was a perfect circle.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Perda Rosnova.’

At first glance, a young noble barely older than her.

When she first met him, he was a weak human.

A mediocre being from whom nothing was expected.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Not exactly the opposite of what was expected, but he didn’t fit either.

Perda was different.

‘He wasn’t.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

He was unpredictable.

He seemed like an emotionless psychopath, but in front of Valdrova he behaved like a child.

He acted arrogantly, yet always bore the consequences.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Incomplete.

Indefinable.

Not fitting his age, and yet somehow fitting it.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Yes.

‘A variable…’

It was that variable that was breaking the current calm.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

And she hated powerlessness.

What cannot be controlled made her feel powerless.

Ruri hated variables.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

He was Valdrova’s fiancé.

That was why it had to be eliminated.

But she couldn’t eliminate Perda.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

‘It wasn’t something bad.’

Situations beyond her control even began to appear.

And so, everything began to change.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

He did things without hesitation that Ruri would never have done, changing everything.

The territory, once stagnant, began to develop.

And Perda was starting to establish his recognition and reputation.

It was a positive change.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

The emotion she felt at those achievements was strange.

She had lived for centuries.

‘Impatience.’

She already knew what it was.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

And yet,

A boy barely 18 years old, in less than a year, could change everything.

She had served for centuries.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Or that even if they hadn’t, she might be able to do something.

That was why she tried to contact Silverwind.

He could take everything from her.

Amid so many changes, she thought that perhaps they had also changed.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Everything was outside her expectations.

‘But I couldn’t do anything.’

She was powerless.

In situation, in strength, in everything.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

For approaching Silverwind unnecessarily.

‘And… I…’

The taut fuse finally ignited.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Maybe it could have been handled better.

For causing Perda to encounter Goz.

If Perda hadn’t been so blunt.

If he hadn’t shown hostility so openly.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

It would be easy to blame him and find peace.

The one who worsened the situation was Perda.

Yes.

Perhaps everything would have been different.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

‘If I hadn’t gotten involved from the beginning…’

Everything started because of her.

And even so, what she said was—

But Ruri couldn’t do that.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

She clenched her fist.

“Who asked you to help?”

The discomfort between them was already obvious.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Nor how to face him.

And it would last much longer.

She didn’t know how to look at him.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

It was even affecting her emotions.

That uncontrollable variable.

She didn’t know what to do.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

Suddenly, the air in front of her stirred.

Ruri was confused.

A wind spirit appeared hurriedly at her side.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

The spirit was agitated.

Ruri recognized it.

— Kkyuung! advance Kkyuung!

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

It was one of the ones she had sent to watch over Count Consilus’s castle.

Ruri tried to listen calmly.

The spirit reported, nervously.

“Speak.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 63: Penelope published by TrungTu Reads.

“Is that… true?”

But she couldn’t.

The variable kept moving without stopping.
