Sinopsis de A Herbivorous Dragon of 5,000 Years Gets Unfairly Villainized
Saying 5,000-year-old dragon sounds impressive, but that dragon was an extremely harmless herbivorous being. However, due to his uselessly gigantic figure and terrifying appearance, he was mistaken as a Demon King executive and the nearby village provided him with a sacrificial maiden. The dragon, fundamentally cowardly and timid, tried to drive her away, but the sacrifice, extremely enthusiastic about her, did not want to give up.
Inevitably, she lied, "Okay, I've only eaten a small portion of your soul, so you can go back now," but the maiden, with her outrageous assumptions, understood that she was now a kinsman of the dragon. Then, of all things, she began to manifest a strange power based on her mistaken assumptions – in turn, the defenseless dragon, by some mistake she started a rebellion against the Demon King. Rebellion or not, she wasn't even his subordinate in the first place.
