I Became the Fiance of a Dragon in Romance Fantasy

3 – Adylune (2)

As soon as the next day came, it was confirmed that there was nothing wrong with my body along with a simple examination, and I climbed the teleport gate to the Rodenov Fortress as if I was being dragged right away.

“Remember. There is no next, and you must take responsibility for what you said.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

My respectful demeanor made my family all stare at me wide-eyed. Starting with my mother, everyone around me, including my older brother, who usually disapproves of me by beating me up like a dog when I get into an accident.

It must mean that the evil I committed was serious.

I smiled bitterly and told my family.

“Anyway, I will go.”

In an instant, my vision went black and I could see the road.

Characteristics of the teleport gate.

When the designated coordinates are set, the person who climbs the gate can find a path in the dark, at the end of which there is a door of light.

The person inside the gate simply had to walk all the way to the gate.

I walked down the path of light and passed through the door, closing and opening my eyes for a moment as I felt my sight suddenly brighten.

The scenery reflected in the eyes is the outer castle that boasts an overwhelming intimidation, and the snowfield outside the outer castle where a snowstorm blows.

It is not enough to call it a fortress blessed by nature. This is a place where winter engraves its footsteps throughout the year.

A fortress city built in the Duchy of Rodenov in the north, Caltix.

After opening the teleport gate, I immediately went through the check-in process.

“Welcome to. Master Physis Ortaire. It’s only two days.”

The words of the article managing the teleport gate were polite but cold. It was worth it.

In the Duchy of Rodenov, where dragon blood is sacred, insulting Adirun, who inherited the blood the thickest, was tantamount to earning their enmity.

I have committed sins, so I nodded my head at that cold and rude attitude.

“It’s been two days. Sir Tyr.”

“What business did you come for?”

The characteristics of the Rodenov knights were revealed in every word.

The characteristic of not showing any respect to those with hostility.

From their point of view, who always have to fight against the ferocious monsters of the north, ruthlessness toward the enemy is an indispensable feature.

I said with a complicated expression to Lord Tyr, who asked coolly with the energy that I would have taken out my sword right away if it hadn’t been for a political relationship.

“I came because I wanted to apologize for the rudeness I did to the princess two days ago.”

“… … .”

There seemed to be a lot of things he wanted to say, but Lord Tyr forcibly put up with them and finished the check-in process without saying anything.

Probably, there must have been a lot of curse words in that mouth that I couldn’t say.

* * *

After the check-in process was over, I headed straight to Caltics’ inner sanctuary.

The teleport gate was installed in the outer castle, so the road to the inner castle was quite long.

As the fortified city in charge of the north, the wide area and overwhelming height of the wall gave me some kind of intimidation just by looking at it.

The buildings I’ve seen in my previous life are incomparable.

The size of the outer castle alone was overwhelming, but the inner strength was also formidable.

A cool chill penetrated my body. Compared to my previous life, my weak body was incomparably weaker, and it made me tremble even in the cold.

Originally, I could have requested a wagon or any other vehicle, but I deliberately didn’t.

Wouldn’t you feel bad for nothing if the person who had insulted you came to apologize, but with a normal appearance?

At least this level of brokenness and clumsiness has to be shown.

No matter how long I walked, I arrived at the door of the inner sanctuary just as the cold was etched deep into my bones.

The guards guarding the castle soon confirmed my identity and, like Sir Tyr, opened the door without saying anything, albeit coldly.

As soon as I opened the gate and entered, I saw the scenery of the neatly decorated garden.

Even in winter, the flowers that showed off their vitality were making the garden bright by themselves, and the faces of the attendants and maids who trimmed them were smiling regardless of the cold weather.

He must have been feeling quite proud just by working in this castle.

That proves that the owner of the castle treats them well.

He alone is the lord of the castle city of Caltix and the duke of the north who rules the entire Duchy of Rodenov.

Get to know the character of Duke Johannes Rodenov.

The expression of the maids and attendants hardened in an instant, as if they had discovered me at the sound of the castle gate opening.

The smile that I just caught a glimpse of is nowhere to be found, and looking at me with a sharp attitude, as if dealing with an enemy, I realize their hostility toward me.

Among them, the maid who was controlling the maids bowed her head to me and said.

“I’ll take you to the drawing room.”

“All right.”

The head maid of the duchy was likely to be an aristocrat belonging to a vassal family belonging to the duchy, and in fact, Sarah Lorraine, the head maid of Rodenov, was a living witness of Rodenov, having served for as many as 30 years.

It was a status that could not be ignored as the second son who was not the heir to the count’s family.

So, to treat her in a rude way is to ignore Rodenov.

I answered her politely. Then the head maid widened her eyes, just like my family.

I understood her reaction and smiled bitterly. It happens unexpectedly often.

Even if it was just the last time I visited, I was the one who was negligent and talked to the butler and the head maid.

Following the maid’s guidance, I arrived at an antique-decorated room and sat down on the sofa to wait.

how much time has passed

The door opened, and a girl with dark blue hair, golden eyes, and blue-white scales appeared in front of me.

* * *

I looked at the young man in front of me.

only two days. It was only two days. That young man spoke terrible words to me and left.

I don’t know why he came here, but he came to me again before the painful scars were healed.

I knew that my appearance was different from people.

The scales that have stuck to her body since she was born in her mother’s belly, and her foreign skin that is different from other people’s.

But people cared for me. Mother and father, head maid, butler, and all the knights.

I knew right away that I was different from other people. Other people, like me, didn’t have scales.

When I asked why, my father and mother told me.

You are a child born with the dragon’s blessing. you are our pride

From that day on, these blue-white scales were my pride.

Every day I heard people’s blessings.

The precious people of Rodenov. The people I will one day rule over. They honored me with one heart and one mind.

My blue-white skin seemed to be the color of winter, so I thought my body was harboring winter.

The snow falling lightly on the fort, the occasional sunbeam shining and melting the snow, the sound of footsteps stepping on the snow, the falling snow piled up on the trees, and the distant scenery of the snowy field.

I thought all of those things were together inside me.

But my pride was shattered one day.

It was the day when there was a gathering of noble families.

I dressed up in beautiful clothes, like those of a fairy, and entered the ballroom with proud steps.

At that time, I could not forget the sound I heard.

monster. gross thing. terrible thing.

Nobles were whispering like that.

My ears, which are much more sensitive than others, picked up the words they whispered, and I had no choice but to witness my own difference, which I had been proud of, becoming nothing but a mistake.

The funny thing is, those who whispered so would have called it a brilliant and stylish scale in front of my eyes.

Alas, from then on I couldn’t believe what people were saying.

On the outside, they will praise me, but behind the scenes, they will laugh at me as a monster.

It’s just that I’m of Rodenov lineage, so I can’t openly say that.

I believed that all sorts of reluctance, fear, and disgust would accompany their gaze at me.

I was ignorant of people and ignorant of their culture.

And that ignorance immediately became the blade that attacked me.

A space where young ladies gather and chat. Being ignorant of their own laws and regulations, I was attacked countless times by them.

Faced with the malice in their every expression, I realized that I had been so foolish.

What is the blood of a dragon? What is the mark of a dragon?

Those things don’t give any help to the world I live in.

I studied. About things I don’t know. about their education.

I didn’t have many opportunities to use it, but it was thrilling to see the contempt in their eyes suddenly change to alertness and fear.

yes. Knowledge was power, and no one with power could ignore it.

I wanted to get even physical strength.

My slender body was not suited to martial arts, but my natural dragon bloodline and my superior intellect led me to the realm of magic.

From then on, I was completely immersed in magic.

The power to twist the logic of the world. The power to recreate the scenery of winter even in the middle of summer.

I was fascinated by that unreal power, and I only delved into magic without going outside.

Five years to lock myself in the castle and concentrate only on magic. In the meantime, I heard something new.

Rodenov and Ortaire’s arranged marriage.

There had been stories about engagements before, but most of them were about engagements with northern nobles, so I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide at the story.

My first meeting with Physis Ortaire was, of course, terrifying.

As soon as he sees himself, he openly puts on an expression that he is looking at something terrible in his eyes. Following his facial expression, my emotions became terrifying.

It was a terrible meeting for each other in many ways.

I haven’t had any expectations from Physis since then.

Maybe he does too. Who would like a gongnyeo who is reputed to be a monster?

But not expecting it didn’t mean it wouldn’t hurt.

The gaze of disgust from the object with which I had to spend the rest of my life was more exhausting than the gaze of disgust from others.

The more I met him, the more my heart was covered with scars.

Cracks like scales on my skin began to carve into my heart.

And just two days ago, since he sowed a deep hatred towards me, I also hated him.

By the way, did you come here to apologize?

[Get out of my sight. I don’t want to see that ugly face of yours again.]

I immediately remembered what he had said two days ago. To the subject who told me to go away and never want to see that hideous face again. come now?

under.

You must have been under pressure from the family. The arrogant and rude Physis apologized?

Undoubtedly, the ferocious words had to come out of my mouth.

“Why did you come here? Do you not even remember what you said? It went away as you wished, but why did you come to such a dangerous place?”

Could I have a voice like this?

I spoke to him in a sharp tone like a thorn made of frost.
