That, and the tendency of humans to see in others what they themselves are most guilty of.

His own guilty conscience refuses to see that you could have defeated the dragon, because that would mean that the dragon is defeatable by a human hand and therefore he could have defeated the dragon instead of giving up his love. He has to see you as vile and scheming, because seeing you as anything else means he has to admit to himself that he did wrong. "Everything's your fault, not mine!"

Though I can't tell whether he truly believes you made a deal with the dragon, or simply refuses to accept that you defeated the dragon (there's a difference, albeit a subtle one).
