I Became the Fiance of a Dragon in Romance Fantasy

30 – Martial Arts Competition (1).

Why did Adilun make such a face?

That was the first thought that came to my mind when I returned home.

Fragments of anxiety, even a glimpse of some kind of fear, revealed in the expression she made as she looked at me for a moment. And that anxiety must have been caused by me.

What is it about me that frightens you so much?

Recall what happened just before.

He defeated Alan Aiden and won the tournament.

What was there to be afraid of?

Relive the memories. I think of all the situations, and I remember what happened in those situations that made me feel uneasy.

I don’t know.

No matter how much I think about what you see in me, I don’t know why.

Until the end of the night, in the end I couldn’t figure out why.

* * *

The last day of National Day. It is the day when the martial arts competition is held.

I decided to put the worries I had yesterday behind me. Because it was useless for me to suffer foolishly by myself.

It is a waste of time to force yourself to know something you don’t know. Because I still have a lot of work to do.

The Yeongji War was not far off. In line with that deadline, you’ll have to train yourself as much as possible.

Just, you’d better ask her later when the time is right.

I shook my head to clear those thoughts and immediately headed to the Mutu competition site with my family.

Perhaps because it was the end of the National Foundation Day festival, there were far more people at the Mutu Convention Hall than expected.

As I looked at the scene of the competition, my older brother hit me and asked.

“Has anything happened?”

“Nope. There was nothing.”

“By the way, I think your expression is very bad.”

“I’m just a little tired.”

“but. not even tired I’ll be fine today though. You’re not even going to a game.”

“Yeah. Yes. By the way, brother. Did you win a lot of money?”

To my question, my brother answered with a cheerful smile. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen that guy smile like that.

“hahahaha. then. Of course.”

“How much money did you win? Your expression looks so good.”

“Okay. I didn’t really look at it… … . Still, it seems to have earned several times the minimum initial funding. In the first place, your dividend wasn’t that high when you first bet. Speaking of which, there will be a martial arts competition, don’t you want to try it too?”

“brother. That’s gambling addiction.”

“I have already left the Sabi I brought with me for the first time, and I plan to use only a part of it from another one this time. You have that much self-control.”

It seems that he had a taste for gambling because of me.

“Everyone says that. brother. Should the heir of the county be like that?”

“I’ll do it in moderation. Moderately. But is it strange that you say that? Surely you, as far as I know, remember that even the money you blew away at the gambling house was quite good?”

“Ugh. Certainly not. Haven’t you stopped now?”

“So, since I’ve seen you, I thought I’d do it moderately, too.”

“Anyway, I understand.”

“But don’t you have any money? I thought you would definitely bet.”

“I got my hands off it.”

“Okay then, take this and do it last. I allow it. Most of the money I won anyway was because of you.”

My brother said that and handed me some of the money he won.

“Ah really. Why are you suddenly like this? Because I don’t.”

“You’re just pretending it’s money you don’t have? It will be more fun than you think. An opportunity like this isn’t common, so let’s do it one last time as memories and for fun.”

Despite my continued refusal, my older brother continued to urge me. I couldn’t understand it anymore because the nobleman who dragged me from the gambling house and beat me up was like that.

“Ah, I see. Oh yeah. Let’s just take a walk. What does your father say?”

“Did you rather like it?”

“… … If I said I was doing it, I think you would have grabbed my hair right away.”

“That is the difference between basic behavior. You blew quite a bit of money on the gambling board not too long ago. I just hung up now… … But now, even my father won’t say much about you.”

“That’s fortunate.”

“great. Then let’s go!”

This man, he shouldn’t have been this kind of person, but somehow… … .

* * *

As I expected, the private gambling hall was full of people.

It was the center of all sorts of fuss, full of people asking who were making a name for themselves everywhere, and people investing their money trusting their eyes.

Led by my older brother, I spread out the list of martial arts competitions and stood in front of the people who were investing money.

“Who do you want to flirt with? nobles.”

The person who appeared to be the owner of a private gambling house spoke to us with a cringe.

“Wait a minute. I think I need to look at the roster.”

“All right. If you choose, please tell me.”

“I get it. Let’s see… … .”

That’s how my older brother started looking at the list of contestants for the martial arts competition.

“Does anyone know any names?”

“Well, people with high reputations know about it through rumors… … Because those people usually don’t pay high dividends.”

If the dividend is high, you can bet safely, but if you don’t bet… … .

Brother, isn’t it a bit reversed?

“Usually, this is how unknown strong people go to the end.”

My older brother said that in a confident tone, but I looked at him with pitiful eyes and said,

“I will go all the way. In a bad way, of course. Usually, people like Hyung-nim often disgrace their group. I am speaking from my experience.”

“but. That too.”

“Isn’t it difficult to judge something now in the first place? Why don’t you check out at least one game and come back later?”

“Well… … Certainly, he’s strangely trustworthy, perhaps because he’s a guy who frequents gambling tables.”

It seems that the country does not want to blindly put money in a situation where there is no clear winner.

“How much did you plan to invest? All like last time?”

“No way. As I said before, I was thinking of leaving as much as I had brought with me for the first time.”

Come to think of it, that’s what I said earlier. Glad then

“That’s fortunate.”

“First of all, let’s watch the first game as you said.”

“It is.”

So my brother and I arrived at the Mutu meeting place again, and when we sat down in our seats, Adiluun was looking at the Mutu meeting place, wiggling his fingers.

“Adilun? When did you come?”

“I just came. Where have you been anyway?”

“Ah, that… … It’s a private gambling house.”

“Yeah?”

In an instant, Adiluun’s expression overlapped with the anxiety he saw yesterday.

“Ah, that… … My older brother asked me to give it a try. I was just trying to have fun with some of the money I won from my tournament winnings. And in the end, I didn’t walk out.”

“Ah, Prince Huian… … ?”

Even after saying that, she looked at me without clearing her doubts. It’s a little embarrassing, but this.

“Yeah. I asked to go. I was doing it with extra money anyway, so whether I succeeded or failed, I thought I wouldn’t do it anymore.”

At that moment, thanks to the assistance of his older brother, who came right in from the side, Adirun erased his doubts and spoke to me with a visibly relieved expression.

“ha. That’s fortunate. I thought you hadn’t broken your old habits.”

The moment I saw her now relieved expression, something ran through my head.

She gave me an uneasy look when I said that I just couldn’t get over my old habits. If so, is the uneasiness she created yesterday also due to the uneasiness of not knowing when my old self will come out?

But did my old self come out yesterday? As I pondered, one thing finally came to my mind.

When you defeat Alan Aiden.

Obviously, like the old me, I punished him violently and emotionally.

Perhaps Adyllun saw it in some way. Because she’s pretty smart.

“Could that be? If I had, I wouldn’t have come this far.”

“I guess I’m leaning too hard, right?”

To her soft talk, I answered firmly.

“Yeah.”

More thoroughly, I have to govern myself. Looking at the relieved Adilun, I made that resolution.

* * *

Someone was seen horribly falling apart in the arena, and immediately the winner was decided.

“Winner! Edith Douglas!”

The one who destroyed the opponent with sharp swordsmanship was called Edith Douglas.

The martial arts competition was quite exciting.

People using all kinds of weapons appeared, and among them, there were many people who were far superior in skills, and there were a few people who had terrible skills.

At first, it was not easy to predict who would win, but the spectacle just made it clear.

Perhaps the author has the highest probability of winning this martial arts competition.

“As you said, it was good to see the first game. If I bet money for nothing, I would have just lost money. First of all, I roughly decided who to bet my money on, did you decide?”

While watching the martial arts tournament, I answered my brother’s question without hesitation.

“The one who just won. Did you say Edith Douglas? If I bet money, I’ll bet on him. The winner of this martial arts competition will be that one. The movement itself is different from other people.”

My older brother also nodded, as if he had felt something.

“It’s like me. I can tell just by pretending maybe… … He was away for a while, but even if he had seen it, he would have answered the same.”

“Yeah. certainly.”

“Then I’ll have to go. Oh, the money I gave you earlier, give it back. If you’re confident, you’ll have to bet on it.”

“It really is a disease. brother. I know because I do it often.”

“Anyway, this is the last time. really.”

When my older brother said that he bet money, Adilun was staring at me from the side, widening his eyes. This, if you say that you are betting money for no reason, you will be beaten to death.

“Well, I believe you will do well. And… … I guess I’d be better off not doing it.”

Having said that, older brother obediently agreed, unlike the persistent request he had made earlier.

“yes. Princess Rodenov is also against it, so it would be better for me to do it myself. Anyway, I’m coming with money. Don’t go.”

“Please go.”

“that… … Are you okay?”

Adilun looked at the scene in amazement, then spoke to me.

“You will do well. Because he was a person who was certain to break up from the beginning… … I wouldn’t do it enough to be a problem. He said he would leave the money he brought in at first.”

“Oh yeah… … . Anyway, Phish. I don’t want to see you lose money gambling, so please don’t gamble in the future. I know?”

“Of course I will.”

“Good idea.”

She was relieved again and told me.

In the meantime, Edith Douglas accumulated one more victory and gradually made her name known to people.
