I Became the Fiance of a Dragon in Romance Fantasy

14 – Prom (4)

in front of you. Two people were dancing.

The appearance of Princess Lobelia and Physis dancing and talking to each other in the calm music that was different from before was so beautiful that anyone could see it.

As the gorgeous blond hair fluttered calmly, admiration erupted from all around.

Even to me, a woman like her, the princess was too beautiful.

Come to think of it, since I was little, I’ve heard compliments on Princess Lobelia’s beauty.

As the saying goes, the sight of her and Phissis dancing together now was beautiful in itself, regardless of whether they danced well or not.

However, it was not that Phissis was pushed aside in terms of appearance. Neatly combed black hair and rare, alluring Jaan.

Seeing him standing with Princess Lobelia, who alone made the faces of many young ladies blush, made me feel very pitiful.

I gently touched my skin.

Smooth, bluish-white scales that couldn’t be said to be human skin at all. I began to hate my appearance, which some admired because I was of dragon blood, while others condemned me as a hideous monster.

It’s a body inherited from my parents, and the pride that I inherited the legend of my ancestors was broken little by little.

In fact, I didn’t even want this at all.

What I hoped for was not a grandiose legend. I was hoping for normality. Just normal meeting other people, talking to them… … such things.

I longed for the kind of normality that was impossible for me.

So every time I saw the scene in front of my eyes, I felt bitter. Because people can do things that are impossible for me.

The dance comes to an end before you know it, and the beautiful dance between the two gradually comes to an end. Suddenly, the two whispered a story and smiled at each other.

I was momentarily short of breath.

I don’t even know why I’m doing this. However, what is now gripping my heart can certainly be called misery.

yes. I was miserable.

I hated seeing my fiancé, who didn’t get along with me, and Princess Lobelia exchanging smiles with my fiancé.

It wasn’t jealousy. That much was certain.

It was the fiancé he hated in the first place. It wasn’t even an engagement that was concluded by my will.

But even so, I couldn’t avoid myself becoming miserable when I looked at those handsome men and women. Because the two of them got along so well.

Looking at the two people who create an impossible figure for me, I couldn’t stop the longing and self-defeating feeling of self-defeating.

It was a sound I had never heard before when Physis and I were standing there.

The misery that the person ‘me’ is not even accepted as a person.

I suddenly remembered the voice of a certain aristocrat who had been forcibly ignored earlier.

‘Look at those scales. What about the horns on your head? Doesn’t it look no different from a monster?’

‘Only Prince Ortaire is pitiful. He looks so handsome, but to marry such a monster because of an arranged marriage. Did you see that I was smiling forcibly earlier?’

I pretended not to hear, I just ignored it, but the words stuck in my heart. yes. monster.

I am neither a person nor a purpose, but a monster. Even if I achieve something, it won’t be an achievement for anyone to marvel at, it will just be the monstrous act of a monster.

no. I shook my head and made up my mind to weaken little by little.

It’s not long since I’ve had a determined will, so I’m thinking weak thoughts like this. You must not be led by their intentions.

What am I trying to do by denying myself? All traces of my life, all the affection I received from my parents, should not be attributed to nonsense.

yes. Let us not be weak, Adilune.

But even after repeating that, I couldn’t help but feel the bitterness rising from the inside.

Also, I missed the North. If the cold yet strong wind hits your face, these miscellaneous thoughts will fly away.

* * *

Adilun’s bitter expression didn’t last long, but I saw it clearly. Why? Why are you making that face?

I thought about why. Why? Because I danced with Lobelia?

I shook my head. No, definitely not because of that. Because she obviously hates me. Then why the hell

There must be a lot of reasons, but I didn’t know why. Because penetrating the essence of the target did not mean that it could even read the mind.

The heart that was satisfied with a fairly large harvest quickly becomes frustrated.

After the bitterness on her face had passed, what was left behind was what could surely be termed emptiness.

Did he hear anything from the nobles around him? Most likely it was.

“Adilon. Are there any bad places?”

“no.”

The atmosphere, which had softened a little while ago, suddenly became chilly again like a blade.

“I really don’t mind.”

She said it was nothing, but her tone was quite sharp.

Seeing that the face of Adilun, who was relieved and delighted with the beautiful dance he had performed, had become darkly stained in that moment, even I felt depressed.

“Did something really happen? You look so bad.”

“No. really.”

Every single word made me feel a little bit sick as if he was rejecting me, as if he had given up everything.

Perhaps if I said one more word here, she would surely be angry. In the end, without saying anything, I had no choice but to follow the next procedure of the prom.

A time for young male aristocrats to socialize with male aristocrats, and female aristocrats with female aristocrats. The female nobles will enjoy a simple tea time in the garden, and the male nobles will chat among themselves in the venue.

I was standing in a corner of the banquet hall in a daze, and my older brother approached me, perhaps seeing something strange about my condition.

“Has anything happened? I don’t like the look on Princess Rodenov’s face.”

“Ah, brother.”

My older brother asked if my older brother felt the sudden apathy between me and Adiluun.

“I don’t know either. I’m sure Adyllun’s expression was good just a moment ago… … .”

“Isn’t that because you danced with Her Highness?”

“It wouldn’t be that kind of jealousy. I’m sure.”

“why?”

“Adyllun hates me. How many wrongs have I done to her right now? I openly insulted her in front of her several times, but wouldn’t it be impossible to feel a crush on me like that?”

“Still, you never know. Because you still have a pretty face.”

“What is the difference between my older brother and me? And as usually jealousy is an emotion that usually appears when a person with a crush is involved with another member of the opposite s*x… … It certainly won’t.”

“is it? It’s complicated. Tsk. Didn’t you do well right away? I don’t know what tricks would come if I knew that the relationship was cold at a time like this.”

My older brother said that and clicked his tongue slightly.

“Iknow, right.”

When I let out a sigh, my older brother told me.

“Anyway, what can’t be helped is unavoidable, and once you’re done, don’t give even the slightest excuse to the central nobles over there. Because there might be some crazy people who are envious and jealous of you dancing with Her Highness.”

“I know that much.”

“Ah, but.”

“What else can I say?”

“If they ignore you or Princess Rodenov, or talk nonsense about the alliance between the two families… … .”

“if?”

“Defeat without remorse. I won’t say anything about accidents like that.”

“This is true. Can I do it so openly?”

“Okay. Because you are definitely a member of Ortaire and will soon become Rodenov’s son-in-law. If anyone disrespects you or Princess Rodenov, or puts them down, run into them. It’s what you’re good at.”

“That’s right.”

“An insult to the original family is a legitimate reason for a duel. It would work better for them to pretend to be crazy than to give them something to chew on by giving them a clumsy excuse. People like that don’t easily change their perception of someone they start ignoring. Don’t belittle me.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

I nodded my head in agreement with my brother’s words. It’s better to be certain than to act clumsily.

“Because they will not want to associate with a madman. If you’re going to run into it, be sure to step on it so you don’t even think about climbing. At least at your level, you won’t lose to the idiots here.”

“It’s a little awkward when you say that.”

“What else?”

“It seems strange that you overestimate me… … .”

“Seeing you train with the knights for three months, I automatically have no choice but to revise my evaluation. you damn bastard Anyway, behave well.”

“All right.”

My brother said that and turned his back.

Right after Hwian walked away from Physis, she immediately pulled out something that looked like a small bead from her bosom. It was a magic tool with a recording function stored in it.

‘Certainly, among the central nobles, there will be those who insult Physis and Princess Rodenov. If so, there is a high possibility of getting caught up in trouble due to Physis’ personality where the fist goes first. I’ll have to prepare in advance.’

He immediately picked up his magic tools and got into the gap of some nobles who were glaring fiercely at Physis.
