I, Viretta, Am Going to Hunt a Dragon

"As you know, we went through this difficult journey and hunted the dragon just to break off the engagement."

The dragon was dead, and all of Medlit's problems had been solved.

The reason for the engagement had disappeared.

"No, you—"

"What more do you need to end the engagement?"

"......"

The words, spoken with a smile, were almost a threat.

If even the dragon wasn’t enough, she was implying she would do something even worse. The people with common sense present at the scene froze awkwardly.

"Well... if that’s your decision, I’ll respect it. It’s certainly a foolish choice, and you’ll regret it, but it’s your decision, after all."

"Thank you for understanding."

"After hunting a dragon together in such perfect harmony, if you say you want to break off the engagement, no one would understand. I’d want to stop you from going down that difficult path, but I suppose I must respect your autonomy."

"I thought I’d need to persuade you a bit more, but you’re very open-minded. Thank you."

"You want to end things and move on to someone else, causing all this chaos, and yet here I am, burdened with a huge debt in my name... But I’ll have to endure, right? If I try to stop you, will you rebel next time?"

Cadlan's tone became more exasperated.
