Once again, the dragon went mad, which made the whole of Studian recall the miserable times they had experienced.

However, the people who escaped from the dragon’s mouth this time brought back other news. They said that due to the real Princess Lydia’s fear and evasion, a teenager set out on the journey to the mountains instead of her. They said that the youth passed through layers of dragon fire and succeeded in calming the dragon who had fallen into madness. They also said that the dangerous and raging dragon meekly put away its claws and teeth in front of the teenager and regarded him as the treasure.

This teenager is named Joyce. He was the one who calmed the dragons and saved the entire elven race, and he was the one who led the entire border city against the demon army.

Joyce’s name instantly spread throughout the continent. He finally became the darling of the bards once again with his own identity. The border city erected a statue of him as a tribute for his help.

The sculptor perfectly created the figure that shone incomparably on the city walls that night. He was slender and was even dragging a skirt that represented grace and softness, but in his hand was a huge sword pointing high into the sky. The tip of the sword was set with one of the most shining gems, which could emit the most beautiful light no matter in the day or night.

The rough stone carving cannot fully present his beautiful appearance, but it was never his appearance that made people admire this boy dressed as a woman.

The people who came to the border city admired the statue at first glance and praised how beautiful the jewels on the statue were. But all the soldiers who had actually participated in that battle said to them, “The light of the gems is not as bright as the princess. The princess has magical powers that not only heal the heart but also bring unparalleled courage.”

There may be many kings and princesses in Studian, but there is only one princess in the border city, and that is the young man dressed as a woman who led them to victory over the demons and gave them courage – Joyce.

In contrast, the reputation of the real Princess Lydia was terrible. She was too timid to go to the mountains and instead caught a commoner to die on her behalf, causing all the citizens of Studian to resent her behavior. The elves, who hate her the most, have revealed the scandal of Lydia’s impersonation of a dragon’s treasure, and anyone who hears about it can’t help but scorn her.

The elves, who had been hit hard, hated Princess Lydia, a vicious woman who had used the entire elven race and coaxed them to harm the real dragon treasure.

However, at the same time, the elves also continued to repent for having harmed the youth, Joyce. They also remembered the great act of the teenager to persuade the dragon to spare them.

They learned from the border city. In the place where the teenager gently soothed the dragon at the time, the scene was replicated. Although they did not have the ability to carve out the dragon’s huge body in minute detail, they portrayed the warm scene of the youth and the dragon snuggling up to each other nine times out of ten.

The remorseful elves would go to the statue of the teenager every day to repent.

The previous Elf King has been turned into ashes in the dragon’s wrath, and Serodi became the new elven king. He wore a crown, holding a scepter, and walked step by step to the statue of the boy.
