"Say, George, is it true you killed a dragon?"
"It is," George said morosely.
"While rescuing a maiden from it?"
"No. Well... They both demanded I choose."
"Choose what?"
"One of them. How could I? I loved them too much! So I choose none. Neither. It... broke the dragon's heart."

@MicroSFF THANK you. This version makes sense.
@MicroSFF No, wait! While the dragon is about to die, at the last moment the maiden cannot bear that! She pulles herself together, walks up to him, grumbles at him about what's the point. Little by little, they start talking. They really have a lot to talk about. At the end they become closer. Enemies become friends. Perhaps even lovers as well.👱‍♀️🐲
