Chapter 54

If all this blame and scorn came purely from birth, it was truly a lonely fate.

Viretta clenched her fist in a determined pose, rallying herself.

"At this rate, I have no choice but to hunt the dragon and clear my name!"@@novelbin@@

"You shouldn't clear it."

Ranken approached Viretta, carrying the luggage the bandits had tried—and failed—to steal.

Not only did he have no intention of doing so, but Viretta didn’t find it strange in the slightest.

"What’s the point of capturing them? Are you turning them over to the guards?"

"That would be boring. We’re short on workers for the dragon hunt, so I plan to recruit them."

"Run for your lives! If Medleidge catches you, you’re as good as dead! I’m already doomed, but you can still escape!"

Ranken cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted down below.

He betrayed Viretta in an instant, brushing his hands off as if wiping them clean.

"A man’s got to have a conscience. I can’t drag these poor people into hell."
