I Became the Fiance of a Dragon in Romance Fantasy

17 – This is the last one. (One)

The tea time atmosphere was quite friendly. Except for me, of course.

I was passing the time just as it went by, responding appropriately to their words. because i was tired

I didn’t like the situation itself where I set up an angle of confrontation with someone and then became a target again. But at that moment, someone’s question rang in my ear.

“Princess Rodenov. I have a question for you. Is Prince Physis Ortaire always that kind?”

The intention of asking such a question out of the blue must be because she thinks that Physis can’t be kind to a monster like me.

I do not know.

However, judging from the clear jealousy in those eyes, I guess my prediction was correct.

Indeed, looking at her face, she was one of the princesses who blushed when she told Phishes earlier that she was handsome.

How should I answer? The trouble didn’t last long. Because I was in a position to act.

I wanted to break their illusions by answering the truth, but I didn’t want to tell them about Physis and me, and I didn’t want to break the alliance that Ortaire and Rodenov were trying to carry on with my petty anger. It was impossible.

“Yeah. Always be kind.”

Remembering his recent attitude, I replied.

Certainly, the attitude towards me has been very kind lately, probably due to pressure from the family.

“Wow, really? Can you be specific? I’m curious about what happened between the two of you on a regular basis!”

What kind of answer does that woman want? I was very curious about the intention, but I decided to live up to that expectation.

yes. There is no need to break the innocent girl’s dream. Whatever it is, it’s none of my business.

“I do not know. When I stopped by Enassa for this National Foundation Day, he moved one step ahead of me and escorted me… … When I attended this ball, he even held my hand when I was trembling involuntarily.”

Of course, each time I had to suppress the anger that was rising. You don’t have to tell me that fact.

“Also, when Physis smiles, her eyes fold slightly, and you don’t know how cool that is.”

After answering appropriately, the princess’s expression became that of a dreaming girl. I’m not sure, but he’s probably drawing a rather romantic situation by assigning my anecdote to himself.

And that expression soon began to harden little by little.

Eventually you will realize the reality. The one next to him is not himself, but I am the monster. Perhaps inside that woman, she is determined to save Physis from the monster.

Oops. If you knew his true identity, it would be you, not me, who despaired. It would be better to leave the dream just a dream.

Wherever you are, try your best.

At that moment, Princess Lobelia spoke to all of us.

“Now, since we talked a lot with each other, shall we go back to the venue soon? The prom isn’t over yet. You can dance with the people you want, and you can dream of romance with someone you like. With such expectations, let’s enjoy today.”

“Yeah. majesty.”

* * *

When I returned to the venue, the venue was somehow cluttered. Did something happen? In the distance, I saw my father, who seemed a little angry.

“father?”

“Ah, Adilun. You are here.”

“Has anything happened? The chairman is cluttered… … .”

At that moment, my father thought about something and told me.

“It would be better to tell the truth. We ended up having a land battle.”

“Yeah!?”

It’s Yeongjijeon. what else is that

“What the hell happened?”

“There were those who dared to insult you. Those who gave me ugly words that I couldn’t bear to say… … . Thinking about it again makes me angry. The battle between the clan and the great warrior to which they belonged covered the Yeongji War.”

“ah.”

Right. I could roughly guess the level of insult my father hadn’t been able to say. There must have been words like a monster or something. I calmed down my expression and asked my father with a firm face.

“Which family is it?”

“Aiden.”

“Aiden. Are you talking about Aiden of the central nobility? Recently, it is said that it is increasing the tax by allying with the merchants… … .”

“Accurate.”

“Since it was me who was insulted, we must have the right to proceed with the Yeongji War. The Grand Master duel would be part of that method.”

“yes. No matter how much I feel anger towards Aiden, there is nothing wrong with the people living in it.”

“understood. Then, what are you planning to buy at Yeongjijeon, father?”

“everything.”

My father’s eyes were cold. Looking at the scene, I could guess that my father was very angry. How long has it been since you saw your father so angry?

“When is the schedule?”

“A month from now. I plan to notify the Knights immediately after the National Foundation Day.”

“I see.”

“By the way, Adilun.”

“Yeah.”

“Physis decided to participate in the duel with the Great Warrior.”

“… … Yeah?”

what else is this

“What do you mean by that? Why is he in the Great Warriors duel… … ?”

“It was Physis who found those who insulted you in the first place. And then he pinned them to the ground right away. So, next month, if he passes the test while taking a simple test, I plan to send him to a duel with great warriors.”

Confusion overtook me in an instant. Directly punishing those who insulted me, and even going to a duel with great warriors? why?

The Daejeonsa duel was a life-threatening place. Taking the life of the loser in a duel is the right of the winner. Going to a place like that meant risking your life.

As far as I know, his strength was poor. It seems like he’s been training quite a bit lately, and his physique has grown quite a bit, but it doesn’t seem like he’s going to duel directly with the knights… … .

Did he really act for me? Wasn’t it simply because of family pressure to be nice to me?

My head got complicated. Is he sincerely repenting for his mistakes?

Or is he just pretending to sympathize, not wanting to hear that his fiancée is a monster?

I don’t know. Really, I don’t know. Why?

Involuntarily, I began to look around. Not far away, he was talking to his brother about something.

I move my steps and approach him, and he smiles at me with a slightly bitter but welcome smile. Why are you making that face?

Wasn’t it that he hated and hated me so much?

I don’t know if that expression was sincere or if it was because of my promise to do a play.

It would have been nice if there was at least some kind of magic that could understand people’s minds. If that was the case, I wouldn’t have to worry so much.

he tells me

“Adilun? what’s going on?”

I grabbed his arm and said.

“Please talk to me for a minute.”

He seemed flustered, but was meekly drawn to me. Is there a place where the two can talk quietly? Terrace. Yes, a terrace would be nice.

There was no one on the terrace. Maybe it’s because it’s still too early for young nobles to have a tryst. The view through the open windows was too beautiful.

Contrary to the beautiful scenery, I felt like I was stuck in a gutter.

“Why did you do that?”

“Yeah?”

He looked at me with a bewildered expression. But I repeated what I said.

“Why did you say you were participating in the Grand Master duel? Did you have a reason for that?”

“Because I was angry.”

He took care of his embarrassment and spoke to me with a calm expression.

“Why are you angry?”

“Because they insulted you.”

“lie.”

“… … .”

When I say that it is a lie, your expression twists miserably. Why, why do you make that face? Isn’t that the expression I should rather have when I’m really miserable and rotten?

Anger surged through my head.

“I don’t know why you are doing this now. Rather, it will be like that from the first time we met. Why are you confusing me so much? Are you angry that they insulted you? So, then, you insulted me? Weren’t you mad at yourself then?”

“… … .”

He hung his head and said nothing. I still shouted at him with anger.

“Answer me! If you hate me so much, why are you acting like this? Did your family pressure you?”

* * *

In front of her eyes, she was angry. In this situation, what should I do to get rid of that anger? How can my sincerity reach her?

As she said, I don’t know.

However, there will be only one thing I have to say now.

“I don’t hate you anymore. I have abandoned all of my hatred and contempt for you. He said he didn’t know why. I don’t know either. I just wanted to do that.”

A choking sound was heard.

“lie… … .”

Is it my imagination that the pitiful trembling voice sounds overly sad?

“I’ve said it before. don’t forgive me That still holds true. don’t forgive me You just need to be happy. I will never insult you in the future. I will not say anything shameless to ask for your trust.”

At that moment, her expression twisted sadly.

“Why, why come now? why! I lost my pride because of you, and I lost the me I loved because of you! But now, if you show that attitude, what are you going to do to me… … . I can’t think of myself as a person anymore. I’m just a monster But since you, who made me like that, say those words, it’s disgusting, I hate you… … .”

There is a sense of misery and humiliation in her words.

that’s what i made Because I was the one who broke her self-esteem, which was higher than anyone else’s.

“I’m sorry. sorry… … .”

All I could do was make this pitiful apology. Anything you say will only hurt her.

Hearing my apology, she suddenly raised her head and looked at me. As if revealing my sins intact, the golden eyes shone most brilliantly and illuminated me.

“Do you know who I hate the most?”

“I do not know.”

She nodded as if it were natural for me to shake my head.

“It must be so. So let me tell you. What I hate most is… … I want to believe that you have changed, even when you are in such a situation.”

This time I was out of breath. Does she still have hope for me who insulted her so much?

“Even though I hate myself so much, I can’t let go of this pitiful hope… … . I won’t be able to endure it if I don’t even have the hope of living happily with a companion who will walk with me.”

At that moment, she brought out some of the words that she had been hiding in her heart.

That would have been your last hope. I couldn’t bear to throw it away in the rotting misery.

“… … Yeah.”

“therefore… … Last, last. I will not trust you easily in the future, and I have no intention of forgiving you easily. But if you continue to honor me. If that’s how you behave consistently.”

That’s how she looks at me with a ray of hope in her misery.

“I will trust you.”

An ultimatum fell to me.
