I gave the sword to the thief (LOL) just because she was the first one to offer to do it and it took her 100 days to come back with the prize. Sometimes I wonder if I would have gotten a bigger prize if the adventurer had offered first because she said she had kept half of the prize for herself.

You have to give it to Knight. The tall hero. He won't fail, and bring you back all of your money, whereas if you hire the thief, she will keep half of the wealth.

i didn't need to deny the knight once for it to work and he asked me first

I gave it to the thief. For a moment I thought my blade gone for ever... And the dragon safe ^^

me to XD

heres my playthrough 

I hired the thief and it took her 7 days, i think.

The thief has a point when she says she did all the hard work.

How does the game end. It says congratulation but the game still continues , i killed the dragon and got to be the king of the councils. and stillt he game continues with the scientist making a machine which brings  out 20 gold. 

I gave it to the thief... the knight wasnt coming back so i put my trust  in her.... I was wrong ): 

I did the Thief because shes relatible to me ^-^ and i do wish though that we could give it to the witch....

I gave the sword to the thief because she was the only one who kept asking. I was  scared she would just take the sword haha.

I gave the sword to the Knight even though the thief aka Sneaky Girl kept asking me but i read that she took half the earnings so i kept on saying no until day 85 i finally got to give it to the Knight!

The Knight, but still tree and witch put DENTS in wealth

Gave it to the thief. Denied her at first, thinking "She's probably gonna steal it. Do I trust her with something so valuable?" But the next time I had a thought: "She does offer to... well... steal for me, so maybe she'll be loyal." And I hired her. The only other guy was a short knight (I don't know if he was the right guy to hire) and I had denied him. I just wanted to kill the dragon and see what happens so.

i hired the knight
