Before they saw that video, many people didn't take the dragon seriously, some even doubted it was just a slightly larger lizard that frightened the new Family Head of the Arias Family.
After all, women tend to be more timorous and prone to making a big fuss over minor issues.
But upon viewing the video, anyone who wasn't blind could realize just how powerful the Black Dragon in the marsh was; yet precisely because of this, representatives of the great families became even more hesitant.
To defeat that terrifying beast would clearly come at a considerable cost, whether in terms of money or manpower, and since the dragon wasn't appearing on their own territories, most people were unwilling to foot the bill for the disaster of the Arias Family.
It's no wonder then that someone suggested Ireya shouldn't disturb the creature in the swamp.
