The Blind Dragon Chapter 5

The Divine Clan could unilaterally dissolve such relationships. For the gods, returning a beast clan bride wasn't a big deal, but for the rejected bride, her entire tribe would be shamed.

A rejected bride couldn't return to her tribe. She could only fend for herself.

Elena collapsed on the spot. When she recovered, she immediately grabbed my pant leg, crying desperately.

"Adrian, please don't leave me! Don't you love me most?"

I was too foolish, giving my sincere heart to the wrong person. That's how this venomous woman took my life in the previous timeline.

My brother also came forward to persuade me. "Adrian, you two have been together for two thousand years. How can you just end it like this?"

"How will Elena survive after this?"

I laughed. I wanted to ask him—when you had Elena carve out my heart, did you think about the fact that your own brother would die?

Father was so angry he pointed at me, trembling. "Outrageous! You chose her, and now you're just abandoning her? This will cause endless gossip."

I smiled. "Don't worry, Father. I'm doing a good deed. This should be celebrated."

The brides present were all aware to some degree that Elena admired Sebastian.

They all wore knowing expressions.

Sebastian's face looked terrible, but there was nothing he could do.

Father had no way to deal with me either. He threw out one last line: "You rebellious son! After breaking off this engagement, let's see who else you can find."

I ignored Elena's sobbing and went straight to the High Priest.

After hearing my purpose, he confirmed multiple times whether I truly wanted to dissolve the relationship with Elena. I nodded firmly.

On the way out, I looked up at the sky, squinting against the sunlight.

Who else could I find? I actually had the perfect candidate in mind—though it would take some effort.
