@Disappointed: Maybe the village is also to blame for her current state. I remember reading about some other story where a living sacrifice to a feared being was raised her entire life from early childhood to be a perfect sacrifice, twisting her mentality appropriately.
And who's to say that it's this dragon around whom the "Jaryuu" legend was made? I wouldn't be surprised if it's a total coincidence that he just resembles a totally different dragon who is truly evil and powerful and whom we will only see much later.
man, the dragon is trying his best to clear the misunderstanding. that's already better than alot of MC there. I really feel bad for him. he''s the true sacrifice for the sake of entertainment
