I Became the Fiance of a Dragon in Romance Fantasy

29 – Tourney (5)

Alan Aiden covered his still tingling face and barely came to his senses before looking at Physis.

‘What. That guy.’

Alan did not properly perceive Physis’ blow. Due to the nature of the tournament, which ended in one match, if you didn’t recognize the blow, you had no choice but to lose.

‘It’s too fast.’

I definitely expected it to be stuck in the guy’s face, but the lance stuck in the face was not his own, but Physis’s.

‘Damn it. Can’t even do this.’

Alan instinctively realized that Physis’ strike was beyond his reach.

but… … However, there were too many things I lost because of Physis to give up.

The status of your family, your honor and your future. All of that was thrown into the gutter.

It’s already too late to regret. No, Alan didn’t think it was his fault in the first place. I’m just telling the truth, but isn’t this too much?

Alan gritted his teeth and glared at Physis. That guy is the culprit of everything. That he was in such a miserable state, and that his family was in danger.

It’s not over yet. As Alan muttered, he held the lance that the servant had brought in his hand.

‘This time, I will definitely stick my lance in his face.’

Even if that happened, I wouldn’t be able to bring him down to the same level as myself, but at least I’d give him some shame.

Alan Aiden seemed to have not lost his fighting spirit even after being beaten so badly in the face. Well, since there are a lot of things accumulated in me, is it natural?

The psychology of such people is obvious. They do not admit their faults and try to find fault in others.

The reason I know so well is simple. Because I was like that too.

In my previous life, I lived like that and changed when I met a child who introduced me to this world, and in my current life, I changed because of the influence of my previous life.

Because I was also a person for myself.

The way I see Alan Aiden now is the same as all my past lives, past and present. I mean, it was no different from facing the past me.

Selfish, hoping for something and dealing with the target… … . Even so, those who do not admit their faults and try to find the reason in others.

It’s the pitiable self of the past, and the traces of the 20 years that still remain in me that I still haven’t gotten rid of.

i still know That the trace could crawl out at any time.

So break it. Thoroughly trampled on me so that I can never crawl out of myself again.

For the time being, that should be enough.

Repeat the same procedure as before. Facing him, I match my words and breath.

Next, I raise my lance and keep an eye on him.

The vibration of the horse kicking the ground spreads throughout the body, and the rough cry of the galloping horse echoes through the tournament arena.

lift a heavy lance This time, the purpose was the same as before. To cut off his lance and stick my lance into his face.

With the rapid movement of the horses, the distance between me and him was gradually narrowing.

I feel a spear attack that is faster than before, yet threatening, aiming at my face.

Between the rough breathing, I could clearly see the eyes with hatred toward me.

but don’t allow

I will not allow you to harm my body or your malice to harm the person I hold dear.

Do you know that hatred is only permitted to you?

Me too. I hate you for showing me fragments of my past.

I pointed my lance towards my face and inserted my lance at a faster speed than him.

Quadruped!

A louder rupture sounded than before, and the lance of the guy who was only focusing on my face shattered and scattered.

However, my blow didn’t end there, I pierced between the scattered lances and hit the guy’s face again.

Kwajik!

My lance, which had cracks while crushing his lance, was completely destroyed when it met its final destination, his face.

And finally, the winner was revealed.

“Winner! Physis Ortaire!”

Wow-!

Along with the cheers, numerous flowers rained down on the match ground, but all those scenes did not inspire me at all.

There is only one thought swirling inside me right now.

I only thought that I would trample on him in the upcoming Battle of the Territory.

I threw the destroyed lance to the ground and got off the horse with my helmet off.

Immediately after that, I approached Alan Aiden and said softly to the distraught fellow floundering on his horse.

“This is just a skirmish. I will crush you thoroughly.”

These were also the words to say to the evil traces of my two inner beings that I somehow managed to put to sleep while overcoming death in Rodenov in a cold winter, but still remain and do not disappear.

* * *

As I watched Physis move towards Alan Aiden, I felt a glimpse of ominous feelings.

Why? Where did this ominousness come from?

I expanded my vision through magic. To see Physis in more detail.

In that moment I could see

The contempt, the hatred that could not be hidden in his self… … Violence. Fragments of intense emotions that cannot be hidden at all.

I was out of breath. Because it reminded me of the time he looked at me in the past.

What was he angry about?

He said something to Alan Aiden. Alan Aiden, who seemed to be out of his mind, trembled at the words.

Perhaps finishing her business, Phishes lifted her head as she left the arena. At that moment, my eyes met his.

And anger and hatred disappear from his face, revealing a bright smile.

Did you get angry watching something about Alan Aiden? And why are you smiling at me?

I do not know. I still don’t know you Physis.

Actually, I still want to know why you changed.

Maybe someday, the day will come when you’ll tell me the reason.

The jousting match after defeating Alan Aiden was, in fact, trivial. I continued my victorious streak, defeating all the knights without giving up a single point, and finally winning the tournament.

The faces of the crowd were completely covered with astonishment, and I watched them indifferently.

The moderator was making a fuss, saying that a winner who did not give up even a single point was so rare that even in the history of many National Day tourneys, it was hard to find such a case.

Finally, when the awards ceremony was ready, I knelt down to the emperor in front of the podium and accepted his award.

There were several awards. The glory of Enassa, a medal proving the winner of the tournament, a huge reward, and even a knighthood recognized instantly.

I, who had been temporarily treated as a knight by participating in a tournament, was able to become a real knight by winning the tournament.

Going through all the procedures, the Emperor told me.

“Your father will be relieved now. Phishis Ortaire. It is a great talent.”

“It is embarrassing. your majesty.”

“Do not let that amazing talent go to waste, and work hard so that you can become the pride of Enadaeim.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

“good night. let’s go now Enjoy the glory you have won.”

“Yes. your majesty.”

The conversation ended with that. As the awards ceremony ended, people from both the Ortaire and Rodenov families gathered around me.

“You did well. God, I see you winning all the tournaments.”

My father laughed loudly, which was rare, and my older brother was delighted with my victory with a very satisfied expression, as if he had won a lot of money.

“Thank you, father. brother.”

My mother also looked at me and smiled with a blissful smile. Perhaps, it was because the other ladies had something to brag about.

The reaction of the family was generally the same, and the reaction of the people of Rodenov was no different from that of the family.

“I can’t believe it. I was preparing a test for the Territory War, but it turned out to be completely useless.”

“hahahaha. Shouldn’t you give it a try though? Since the Yeongji War is against a strong knight, it can’t be compared to a monster. Rather, you have to compete with the strong knights of Rodenov to be able to face the knights of Aiden without panicking in the Territory Battle. Please proceed as prepared, Your Excellency, Duke.”

“If that’s what you mean, then I know.”

“congratulations.”

“It’s all thanks to Adirun.”

“What do you think I did? It’s all what you’ve done Physis. No, I should call you Sir Physis now, right?”

She spoke to me in a playful manner.

“There is no need to call it that hard… … . It’s enough with just phisis. Adilune.”

“I see. Anyway, it was great.”

“thank you.”

My family and the people of Rodenov, who had heard me and Adylon talk, moved away so that she and I could talk more comfortably.

“Now, the National Foundation Day is coming to an end. After tomorrow’s martial arts competition… … The National Foundation Day will come to an end, and the Yeongjijeon will begin at last. Oh, by any chance, Physis also attends the martial arts competition?”

“Nope. I do not want to participate in martial arts competitions. Isn’t the martial arts tournament a place where people from all over the empire gather to fight to become knights? I’m tired, and since I got a knighthood today, I’m thinking of just watching it comfortably.”

“aha. okay. But Phishes… … .”

She was about to say something to me, but suddenly stopped talking and bit her lip.

“Well? Why?”

“No, nothing.”

However, what was revealed in her expression as she said it was nothing was a clear uneasiness.

“Has anything happened?”

“It’s really nothing. Never mind.”

“… … All right.”

She shut her mouth, as if she didn’t want to bring the topic up any longer.

What the hell is going on?

What is it that makes you so anxious?

After a line of question dug into my mind, a silence fell between me and Adirun.
