33 – Uneasy.

Rodenov still greeted us with a cold, bitter wind.

After exiting the teleport gate, the appearance of Caltix Fortress came into full view at a glance. A place covered with frost-like ice and snow, yet still filled with the warmth of those who live in it.

It wasn’t flashy or lively like Anadheim, but just looking at this iron-clad fortress gave me some peace of mind.

No matter how splendid and mysterious the appearance of the capital is, it seems that it does not evoke as much emotion as the place where I was born and raised.

House. yes it is my home

It’s a peaceful mind that I haven’t felt in a long time.

My father told the members of Caltix Castle that Aiden and the Territory were to fight, and they were angry at Aiden for insulting me and prepared to condemn them.

Also, my father announced to the knights that Physsis had been selected as the great champion of Rodenov, but the knights showed considerable dissatisfaction.

But after I heard that he had won hunting contests and tournaments, and that he had condemned Alan Aiden for insulting me, that discontent subsided a little.

Instead, they nodded at their father’s words that he would have to test his qualifications to become a great warrior, and asked him how they would test him.

My father said that he would judge Physis’ qualifications by sparring with the knights of Rodenov.

Because of that, the knights burned even more passion and trained repeatedly to improve their skills. It was because he saw it as an opportunity to legally beat Physis, who he always wanted to beat, and being selected as a great warrior in the Battle of Yeongji.

Meanwhile, I shut myself up in my room and rested.

Perhaps they were considerate of me when I returned, but the servants did not make a fuss and took care of me so that I could rest comfortably, and I really liked that consideration.

Because I needed time to organize my thoughts.

It was only a short few days, but the things that happened at the National Foundation Day planted shame and relief, anxiety and fear in me at the same time.

he has changed He didn’t want to admit it, but he had definitely changed.

Just by the way his family treated him, it was evident how he had been for the three months since he had been kicked out of me.

The people of Ortaire, who had previously regarded him as something troublesome, now believed in him.

Can you gain people’s trust in three months?

And being able to win back such trust from those who have lost all trust in him must prove that he worked so hard.

Also, the attitude towards me was much more harmful, to the point of believing that I was a completely different person.

Even when I pushed him in my confusion, he apologized to me with sincere apologetics and swore in front of me that he would never do that again.

In fact, I don’t know how many times I tore off the covers that night out of embarrassment. To say such an embarrassing thing casually.

Since then he started worrying about me all the time.

He pushed away Alan Aiden who had insulted me, said he would directly fight for me, and even when monsters attacked the princesses during the hunting competition, he took care of me first.

On the day we watched the festival together after the jousting match, he looked at me wearing a mask and put on a guilty expression.

He cared about me enough to even think that inviting me to the festival might have made me uncomfortable.

I was really happy to see that expression.

Because of that, I was able to trust him in part… … All the while, I hoped he wouldn’t change again.

I made a promise.

If he maintains a consistent attitude for the next nine months, let’s erase all the wrongs we’ve done to each other and go back to square one.

But in a corner of my heart, there was still a feeling of uneasiness.

Then why did he change?

Because the root cause is not known. Change always comes with a purpose. People change when they have a purpose.

But I couldn’t guess even the slightest reason why he changed.

It’s only been two days since I went back with a disgusted face saying I didn’t want to see myself right now. I couldn’t understand him changing his attitude again after only two days.

That fact made me uneasy. I felt like he could go back to his old attitude whenever he wanted.

The mind to trust him and the mind not to trust him collide.

What if, after 9 months, he suddenly changed again? What if you looked at me with things like anger and disgust from before?

can i stand it?

* * *

I can see the figure of Physis in front of my eyes.

He looks at me with the friendly smile he’s shown me so often lately. pleased. He smiles like that for me now.

The negative emotions that had always stood on his face in the past had turned into positive emotions before I knew it and were heading towards me.

We walked hand in hand. The stories that popped out were trivial, but that alone made us laugh happily.

happy.

If the companion I will be with for the rest of my life is a person who cares for me, I will be happy.

I grabbed him and led him What you see in front of you is the bell tower of Caltix Fortress.

This was my favorite place, where I could see the vast Caltics Fortress at a glance. Someday, I always wanted to introduce you to someone who would be with me sincerely.

He seemed surprised by the appearance of the bell tower. I smile and look at him He also smiles and leads me by the hand.

After climbing quite a lot of stairs, the appearance of Caltix Fortress is finally revealed. The view of the winter fortress and the people living in it at a glance was my favorite scenery.

Sit with him on the ledge of the bell tower. He dissuades me saying it’s dangerous, but I tell him not to worry and I’m fine.

The biting wind brushes through my scales. Even that was good. This cold wind that makes me aware that I am alive is the foundation of my life.

I speak kindly to him. This is my favorite scenery.

He also smiles.

say

“Did this plain sight lead me here? It’s ridiculous.”

derision.

And an audible, harsh, hateful voice.

“What makes you laugh so well? Just looking at that disgusting face makes me feel sick. Hey, monster.”

no. I’m not a monster.

He speaks to me muttering in dismay.

“Not a monster? hahahaha. funny thing. Look at yourself.”

He forcibly lifts my arm and puts it in my field of vision.

“Does man have scales? Do humans have horns? no. no.”

With anger comes sorrow.

“Don’t pretend to be human, monster. Just looking at it is disgusting.”

scary. Right now, I was so scared of the sudden change of the person who had smiled at me until recently.

His denial of existence made me so sad.

“Ah, uh… … .”

I stopped crying.

* * *

“… … ah.”

Open your eyes. I see the familiar look of my bedroom.

“dream. That’s it.”

I mumble blankly, and soon wipe the tears flowing from my eyes.

“Ah, uh.”

But the tears don’t stop.

Why? It’s just a dream. Why won’t the tears stop?

Because you hate your own weakness? Because you don’t like the way you look?

Are you afraid of the way he might change someday?

I don’t know. Anxiety continues to eat away at the mind.

Rather, the kindness he has shown recently makes me even more anxious. If he continued to show me a friendly side, I didn’t even know what I would become.

I wouldn’t be able to bear it if he showed me his old self again in that situation.

If only I was beautiful If you were more beautiful than anyone else from a human point of view.

Could I not have worried about this?

A large horn on his head. Blue-white scales covered my entire body.

Seeing a person who can’t be called a person at all, I end up having a question.

I.

Is the person right?
