5 – does not reach (2)

Eyes open. Bright light hits my retinas, and warmth surrounds me.

I looked around. A charming room decorated with antique wallpaper and eye-shaped crafts everywhere.

And in it, a girl with dark blue hair and bluish white horns was lying face down on the bed, trying to sleep.

She was covered in bluish-white scales, and strangely, now I don’t feel the strangely intense disgust or repulsion I felt when I saw her before.

Rather, the bluish-white scales that look divine. Later, I heard that she would become a complete dragon and shed her body on her own will. Will I ever be able to witness the sight?

I forced myself to stand up. Obviously, it should be normal when the whole body is in disrepair, but it was fine.

He must have used healing magic. Being of dragon blood, she was well-versed in all types of magic.

I grabbed my head. I made a mistake again. The apology I made to her yesterday was so rude. If I had died there, it would not have ended as a simple matter.

To apologize and make it difficult. From Adilun’s point of view, I must have been terrible.

Nevertheless, judging from how he healed me, it was clear that Adilun had a good disposition as well. No, is this speculation? Maybe he simply didn’t want to bring unnecessary trouble to his family.

But I believed she would be good.

It wasn’t just because of what I saw in the novel. just… … Because in my eyes she shone brighter than ever. Not because of her appearance, but because of her existence itself.

“Um… … .”

Feeling that I was tossing and turning, she opened her eyes.

“ah… … .”

“good morning.”

I smiled at Adilun with the brightest face I could build.

She barely woke up, looked at me with a puzzled face for a moment, then said.

“under… … .”

She laughed and said.

“If it’s okay, let’s go. right now. Because I don’t want to see you.”

“All right. Previously… … .”

At Adilun’s words, I got out of bed and bowed my head to thank her.

“Thank you for saving me.”

As if all the strength in her body was drained by those words, she said in a panic.

“You know what? You are truly terribly selfish. If you apologize like that, you might feel at ease. Did you not know what trouble this Rodenov might have been in if you had died?”

“sorry.”

I had nothing to say. I just hung my head and said sorry.

“Go quickly. As you wished so much, the request for divorce will be dismissed as nothing. And… … .”

She said to me as if to shoot at what was inside.

“Now pretend to be nice, pretend to be pretentious. Fuck that horrible attitude. The disgust and contempt in your eyes from the first day you saw me. You’re going to apologize now for the subject you’ve been staring at? Did you think I would accept that?”

I looked at her with a puzzled expression. She spoke to me with even more indignation, perhaps seeing my complex expression.

“Don’t make that face. Just looking at it makes me angry. I never trust you No matter what you say or do! therefore… … Go quickly.”

oh, it’s already too late

Even if they succeeded in reversing the breakup, what would be the meaning here?

past life. I wished her happiness.

current life. brought her misfortune.

My apologies do not reach her.

I returned to Ortaire with no idea what the hell I was thinking. Seeing my dejected expression, my father asked.

“How have you been?”

“For now, the breakup has been stopped.”

With that alone, my father seemed to have guessed what had happened.

“The breakup… … is it. Right. Didn’t you accept the apology after all?”

“… … Yeah.”

“Ugly guy.”

It was a word that he spat out as if he was despondent, but it came louder than any screams.

“Go and see. You must have a lot of feelings, so you must be making that kind of expression. One year from now, find a direction for what you need to do and put it into action.”

“All right.”

“It’s not just Princess Rodenov. This Ortaire is also full of people who have suffered damage because of you, so you will have to ask for forgiveness from all of them.”

“Yeah.”

I answered my father in a complicated way.

“Your expression. your behavior it may have been embellished. But such an expression is not something that comes easily, and I have never seen it in your entire life.”

After a brief pause, my father spoke to me again.

“So this is your last chance. If you don’t change again this time, I will give up on you. But, if you change… … I will trust you again.”

“I will keep that in mind. father. I will never disappoint you.”

“good. Don’t waste your time in vain.”

I lost my direction. I, who could do anything in my previous life, disappeared, and only I, who was engulfed in violence and stubbornness and only hurt others, remained.

Will you sit down because of that?

no.

have to stand up

I have to act again and change like I did in my previous life. Didn’t you move only for the benefit at first in your previous life? People don’t change easily, but they can change if they want to change.

After leaving the office, I checked the things I had to do.

I should apologize to those who have been harmed by my mistakes, discipline myself and help those in trouble.

And when I can confidently claim that I have changed, I should apologize to Adilun again.

There was no time to waste.

I immediately found a butler.

“butler!”

Change had to start now.

This is what it is. You will no longer have to worry about Physis Ortaire.

yes. Arrogant marriage anyway. You don’t have to trust each other.

But why is it so complicated?

Were his words sincere, or was it a well-packaged pretense?

no. There is no point in making such an assumption. He hurt me deeply, and I was free to accept his apology and forgive him.

I will never trust him again. No, I won’t trust anyone except the people around me.

Because I’m too tired to trust anyone.

No matter what he does, I will not believe him.

It was enough to hurt someone’s betrayal once, and once was enough to hate and contempt. For every time they cast disgusting glances at me, I hated myself.

I didn’t want to hate myself anymore.

I didn’t want to betray the value that my loved ones gave me. I wanted to believe that a person called me is a person of value.

therefore… … Please, may Physis never appear in front of me again at any moment other than marriage.

I just wished so.
