@nunyab69 It's weird, he stole an opportunity. It put Hero progress back a little, but I'm not sure if something better could be done. He could let it play as default, but why? Are we sure that these events won't cause motivation for Hero? It's just a Dragon King's words.
His helping hand toward the other girl is a bit more understandable. She is basically a rogue slave, if dragons kick her out, not much would await her. It's different than the hero who has already outlined things to do.
