I Became the Fiance of a Dragon in Romance Fantasy

32 – Ready (1).

The carriage trip ended earlier than expected.

It was because they got away from the capital, Enassa, and entered the territory where the teleport gate was activated again.

I told her because I was very sad about breaking up with Adilun.

“Take care of yourself.”

“You too. then… … See you in a month, Phissis.”

“Yeah. Adilune.”

I don’t know what’s on her mind, but in the hope that she will regret it a little, I return to Ortaire.

The people of Ortaire welcomed us happily.

In particular, they were all the more delighted to see my older brother packing up all sorts of gifts for the servants of the family, and everyone was surprised that the money for the gifts came from me.

“Gift funds? Master Phishis?”

“Is that true?”

“Please. Master Huian must have paid for it.”

Seeing how I couldn’t accept that I raised the money, people still couldn’t believe I was doing anything.

Still, this was a lot better. Where is it that you don’t even suspect that you won it by gambling somewhere?

To their words, my older brother answered that it was true.

“No, it is true. Do you know how Physis got the money? You will probably be more surprised to know this.”

“How did you arrange it, Master Physis?”

“Anyway, even if he told me, he wouldn’t believe me, so I’ll tell you. Physis won the National Day hunting competition and the joust.”

“Yeah?”

Except for the people who were directly there, most of the other servants looked wide-eyed and disbelieved.

But the surprising thing is that some of the knights among them were nodding their heads saying that it could be so.

Apparently, the knights personally sparred countless times with me for three months, so they seemed to recognize the fragments of my talent.

“Is that true? Master Physis won the hunting competition and the joust?”

But the butler couldn’t believe it easily, so he asked his brother directly.

“yes. It’s not necessarily my testimony, it’s something my father and mother witnessed. Isn’t that right, father and mother?”

“yes. hit. Physis won both events, earning huge bounty money. However, the bounty money was not used as a gift for you guys.”

“Yeah?”

“Hwian, that guy put all his money into the private gambling hall for tournaments and martial arts tournaments. And I don’t even know how many times that money was multiplied.”

“Huh.”

My father said it as if it was no big deal, but all the servants were surprised.

Rather than the fact that he had won, he seemed more surprised by the fact that that diligent older brother had put his money in a private gambling house.

They looked at their brother as if they were looking at something incredible.

In the end, it was only after the testimony of the servants and maids who accompanied the family in Enassa that people accepted that I had indeed won hunting contests and tournaments.

Thus, an unexpected banquet was held in Ortaire.

It was a small banquet for those who accompanied us in Enassa and also guarded Ortaire in our absence.

After all that process was over, I was finally able to take a break.

* * *

After all the banquets were over, my father called the family members together and told them about the fiefdom war between Rodenov and Aiden.

Also, the fact that I, the fiancé of Adilun, will go out as a great warrior myself.

“It is dangerous. No matter how allied they are, they put Master Physis, who will become a member of the Rodenovs in the future, as their great warrior.”

“Okay. I will prove Physis’ skill.”

The retainers said it was dangerous, but my father told them it was okay.

“I am fine.”

“But, Bocchan.”

“This is what I ought to do. I insulted Princess Rodenov for a year. You must pay for your sins.”

“If you say so… … .”

Even the vassals, who were extremely opposed, backed down once my father and I spoke firmly.

“Don’t worry too much. Physics will do just fine.”

Since my father, the strongest knight in Ortaire and the swordsman of the Anadem Empire, supported me so much, even the vassals eventually had no choice but to nod and resign as if they knew.

After they withdrew, my father spoke to me.

“Are you really going to be okay?”

“Yeah. Trust me. three months. It’s only three months. The fact that I gradually accumulated victories and realized mana in sparring with knights.”

“yes. I have nothing more to say about your talents. However, as long as you don’t know who will emerge as Aiden’s great warrior, carelessness and arrogance are prohibited. Do you understand?”

“I will keep that in mind. Then Father, I will go away.”

“Are you training?”

“Yeah.”

“Then let me help you. The family knights won’t put much pressure on you anymore. You have to be at least like me to be able to understand anything. I’m not too busy today, and I’ve handed over the small papers to Hwian, so it should be fine.”

“Your brother is pitiful.”

“What? Shouldn’t the successor do all of those things? ruler. Let’s go.”

“Yes, Father.”

My father immediately led me to the gymnasium.

* * *

“I heard from the knights. You don’t use a separate weapon?”

“Yeah.”

“May I ask why?”

“There is no particular reason… … It’s because it’s more comfortable to extend a fist than to just swing a sword.”

“I’ve been taught the family’s swordsmanship since childhood… … . Anyways. If swordsmanship doesn’t suit your hand, it might be better to just practice martial arts. Each has its pros and cons.”

After my father finished speaking, he immediately took up his posture.

Maybe he didn’t use mana separately, but he didn’t feel the airflow of mana.

But, just standing with a sword.

That alone is so terrible that it weighs me down.

I endured the pressure and raised my mana.

A torrent of mana swirls around the body, making the body that was weighed down by the pressure much lighter.

thud!

I stomped my feet and took a step forward.

At that moment, the pressure of my father, which had been weighing me down, broke away.

For an instant, a strangeness dwells in the father’s eyes.

“It’s quite good. It’s unbelievable that it’s only been three months. Seeing it in person gives me a new feeling.”

I hadn’t even raised my fist yet, but it felt like everything about me was being read.

Maybe you can even see it as natural. My talent for mana must have come from my father.

“ruler. I will stay still, come and see.”

I didn’t even answer, I ran towards my father’s sword. My father swung the wooden sword without even exerting much force.

It was just a simple swing, but I could see it.

The way the sword would go was covering my entire face.

There was nowhere to escape.

The moment I clumsily chose to evade, that roughly swinging sword would immediately hit my body.

then. You have to face it, not avoid it awkwardly.

Without hesitation, I wrapped mana around my gauntlet and threw out my fist with all my might. The cleanest punch I could do collided with my father’s wooden sword.

and moment.

Quaang!

An unbelievable roar echoed from the collision between a training wooden sword that was not even wrapped in mana and a gauntlet that was wrapped in a torrent of mana.

Crisp. Caan.

And… … The steel gauntlets that wrapped around my fists and arms cracked and shattered. Actually, the training wooden sword that my father held in his hand was fine.

“I lost.”

“Excellent.”

I spoke calmly, and my father spoke in a satisfied tone.

“I like your eyes. You saw clearly where my sword was headed.”

“Yeah.”

“If you weren’t qualified, you would have judged that it was just a rough swing and tried to evade. And it would have come off awkwardly. But you confronted me head on… … At least it reached my wooden sword. Am I right?”

“Exactly, Father.”

At my answer, my father said in admiration.

“It is a precious eye. Aptitude for mana, physical perfection… … There are countless kinds of talents you have, but those eyes are probably the biggest axis of your talents.”

“you’re right.”

“hahahaha. You will feel jealous of your son. guy. Why did you wander until now with eyes like that?”

“It’s good that you’re awake now, isn’t it?”

“That is correct. I was puzzled because I had heard so much from the knights, but now I understand. You are a genius. Who in the world would object to you being a genius? ten years? No, in five years you will catch up with me, and in ten years there will be no one comparable to you on this vast continent.”

“Isn’t that an overestimation, Father?”

“Three months. With only three months of training, no one could touch my wooden sword. I have met countless people who have been called geniuses. Even those people couldn’t reach my wooden sword in just three months.”

“… … .”

“I will have to watch your training often from now on.”

“Are you all right?”

“No matter how busy I am, I can make time for that much. Also, isn’t there Hwian? It’s not because of the Yeongji War. It’s just a matter of personal greed.”

“What will your brother think?”

“Do you think he would be jealous of something like that?”

“… … no.”

“Hwian moves anything out of necessity. It’s just that his disposition is right and upright, so the part corresponding to ‘necessity’ doesn’t go out of order. He will welcome you with open arms when you become stronger. There will be many places to use you.”

“Well, it certainly seems so.”

“The reason why I immediately picked Hui An as the successor is a bigger reason. It would be nice to have strong arms to lead the family, but that is only secondary. Hui An is a child with the ability to be a leader. I know how to embrace my own people, and I know how to identify talented people.”

“As expected.”

“yes. So don’t worry.”

“All right.”

“Please come here every day from now on. time is… … yes. Good morning. After my guidance is over, you may engage in sparring with the knights, or you may train as you please. If you have the stamina left, that is.”

“All right. It’s not too long before the Yeongji War.”

“yes. There is no need to worry about Youngjijeon anyway. Because there is still one month left. Perhaps in the meantime, you will become amazingly strong again.”

I just nodded without speaking.
