I Became the Fiance of a Dragon in Romance Fantasy

19 – Hunting Contest (1)

Prior to the start of the hunting competition, Lobelia opened her mouth. The emperor sat leisurely with a joyful smile, as if he was simply watching the hunting competition.

Originally, I heard that he was very active in hunting competitions, but what is the reason?

It is unknown.

“it is a nice day. The day is sunny and not too hot, so it is a very suitable day for hunting competitions.”

“For the sake of the princess he serves, or for the sake of the lord, or for the family… … The reasons may be different, but there will be only one purpose for all of you who are standing here now. Championship.”

“This hunting competition may be a bit difficult. Besides simply catching a lot of game, the game with the highest score can be quite dangerous.”

“Of course, for safety reasons, I released it in a fairly deep place in the hunting ground… … Please be careful. If you touch them drunk with high scores, non-knights could lose their lives if they do something wrong.”

You can see that some of the nobles are nervous at Lobelia’s words. It could have been that he was intimidated by the word dangerous, or it could have been estimating his reputation that would rise if he hunted a dangerous guy.

“But you are the noble nobles of this mighty Anadheim. I believe that such threats can be easily overcome. In this hunting competition, which also includes quite a few knights, I hope you will show off your skills to the fullest. Good luck.”

As soon as Lobelia’s words were finished, the sharp howling of hounds was heard, and the hunting contest began.

“Are you going?”

my brother asked me

“Yeah. Aren’t you participating in the contest?”

“Annoying. I’m not engaged, and I don’t even have a princess I like, so what are you doing? you work hard What about the hounds, by the way?”

“I don’t really need a hound.”

“Anyway, do your best.”

“Yeah.”

I left my older brother behind and immediately drove the horse towards the hunting ground.

There were nobles who brought their own hounds, but I didn’t really need them. You can activate your senses through mana.

I saw the bow in my hand. it’s a bow I’ve shot quite a few times in my past life, but I don’t think I’ve ever shot one in my current life. But it didn’t matter.

Because I was confident in whatever I did with my body.

As I rode and ran moderately, I saw the appearance of the prey captured in my eyes. Without hesitation, I raised my bow, drew the string, and let go.

Teeing. There was a light crackling sound, the sound of cutting through the wind, and the sound of something falling. once one.

Perhaps thanks to his experience in his previous life, there was no problem handling the bow. Satisfied, I activated my senses again. It was because there could be prey nearby.

The hunting competition has begun.

Now, the princesses only had to wait for the people who would offer their game to them.

Gradually, it was very friendly to see people who were close to them gather and talk.

Even so, seeing that they implicitly say that their own knight is superior, it must be that they also want their knight to play an active part in the hunting competition.

Suddenly, will Physis be good at hunting? I started to have doubts. As far as I can remember, I had never heard of him hunting.

I didn’t really want his performance, I just wanted the hunting tournament to end quickly.

because… …

“Princess Rodenof, what kind of game would you like Prince Ortaire to catch?”

“I don’t really want anything. It’s the first time I’ve ever had a hunting competition hosted by the imperial family, so I’m in a state where I don’t even know what it is. I don’t even know what kind of prey there is.”

“I heard that in this tournament, quite rare animals and even dangerous but beautiful monsters are released. The dangerous monster that Her Highness talked about earlier is probably that monster. I’ve heard that she has beautiful hair that glows in the moonlight… … .”

As soon as the princess finished talking excitedly about what game was in this hunting competition, the princess next to her threw a word at me with a jealous attitude.

“Anyway, I’m very envious of Princess Rodenov.”

“Me?”

What kind of nonsense is this again? Why am I envious?

“Yeah. I also have a fiancé who was involved in an arranged marriage… … He’s a very bad match for me.”

“ah… … .”

Her attitude was understandable. I was bound by an arranged marriage, but I must have become jealous when I saw Physis being kind to me.

Moreover, even the beautiful appearance of Physis.

After all, people seem to have a habit of thinking about things that are not their own.

Of course, Phishis has only recently been kind to me, but what would she say if I brought him from a year ago right in front of that princess?

It became funny for some reason, but I endured it and looked at her with a pitiful gaze. yes. I know that feeling well.

“Oops… … must be hard I fully understand that feeling.”

“You understand?”

But as soon as I said that, the nameless princess reacted sharply to me. I expected such a reaction, so I wasn’t particularly taken aback, but the expressions of the princesses around me began to stiffen.

It seems that she was not a princess with a very good reputation from the beginning. It must have been that he had been solving troubles with his fiancé to the princesses.

However, judging from the fact that no one ever said it out of their mouth, she seemed to be the daughter of a well-ranked family.

“Yeah. I didn’t get along very well with Physis either.”

“Yeah? Did you look so friendly?”

“The day Phissis first met me, we both hated each other so much. I don’t like the situation itself of an arranged marriage.”

Although it’s a little relieved now, to be precise, that side hated me one-sidedly.

“But if we give each other a step and talk… … It might get a little better. Because I did. Don’t just try to avoid the parts that don’t fit each other, let’s talk about it.”

“Conversation… … .”

It’s a simple method above all else, but it’s not easy to find out a person’s true intentions.

Because you need the courage to tell your story to others, and sometimes you have to endure shame.

What is the relationship between me and Physis?

My relationship with him was not a relationship that could be solved through conversation like I said.

The next step was necessary. The next step is action.

Even I didn’t know what would happen to our relationship after the stage of action, but one thing was certain.

At least it will be better than now.

At my words, the nameless princess nodded with a slightly worried expression. He seemed to suspect that that alone could solve the relationship, so I added one more word.

“After talking, if you are dissatisfied with each other’s behavior, it would be good to actively correct it.”

“… … I see.”

In the eyes of the princess who reluctantly nodded, there was no longer any jealousy.

* * *

“Where is this?”

I was only engrossed in catching prey, and I got lost. It was because he was preoccupied with hunting prey that seemed precious to him.

Before I knew it, the carcasses of prey were dangling from my horse. Among them, by far, the game with the highest score would be a fox with silver fur.

I didn’t think Adyllun would be happy with this, but as long as I participated in the hunting competition, I would have to pay for the handkerchief she gave me if I achieved more than a certain level.

“for now… … Should I go back the way I came, or should I look for the most dangerous guy?”

In fact, it seemed like I had already secured a lot of points, so I didn’t have to catch anything more, but hunting had a strange charm, so I wanted to enjoy it a little more.

Now that this is the case, should we try to win at all?

I’d love to do it if I can.

I expanded my senses. Quite a lot of things were caught in my senses, but since there was no one that felt particularly strong, it didn’t seem like they were around here.

Keeping my senses open, I mounted my horse again and headed deeper into the hunting grounds. Since I said Lobelia is in the depths, something will come out if I just go into the depths.
