I Became the Fiance of a Dragon in Romance Fantasy

43 – molting.

Adilun’s cold did not go away easily.

Perhaps it was because she had been overexerting herself recently, she couldn’t get out of bed even after she regained consciousness.

And I… … .

“Okay, do it.”

“… … ah.”

The past few days, I’ve been taking care of Adilun.

Originally, it was Mina’s job to do, but I wondered if it was because of me that Adilon suffered so much, so I’m taking care of her myself.

She started eating the soup I offered her like a baby bird.

“it’s delicious?”

“… … Yeah.”

Anyway, after finishing the soup, she lay down on the bed again.

“Are you okay now?”

“Yeah. maybe… … I think it could happen by tomorrow.”

“Well. Excuse me for a moment.”

Reaching out my hand and placing it on her forehead, I could definitely feel that the fever had gone down considerably from the first day.

But Adyllun’s face turned red again, perhaps because I was a bit ashamed of touching your forehead.

Throughout my care, whenever she made physical contact with me, she blushed as if she was ashamed.

Are you that shy?

“The fever has gone down a lot. Fortunately, the.”

“… … Thank you. For continuing to take care of me.”

“Well, actually, if you look at the cause, I think it was because of me, so I just did what I had to do.”

“That’s not it… … .”

“Yeah?”

“No, nothing.”

“Anyway, let me know when everything gets better. Now, you will have to listen to the explanation about the social gathering.”

“Well, you can just do it right here. Can I just explain it now?”

“Nope. When you are resting, it is definitely better to rest.”

“huh. I see. Anyway, if you catch me and explain to me, it’ll be soon, so I’ll just rest.”

When I resolutely refused, Adiluun said in a calm voice, perhaps a little sulking.

“You made a good choice.”

She was so cute, I reached out and stroked her hair.

“Ah. Please don’t do this.”

“hahahaha. sorry. Stop being too cute.”

“Oops. Ah, okay, I’ll rest now.”

“Yeah. Rest in peace, Adilun.”

Adilon dyed his face red again and wiggled back into the futon. It’s not good to tease too much either.

I got out of the room

Ever since I was suffering from a bad cold, Physis has been showing me a friendly attitude.

Whether it’s feeding them soup directly, stroking their hair, or measuring their forehead frequently.

It wasn’t that I hated all of those actions. No, it could have been better. It had been a long time since I had received such comfort and friendliness from others.

The problem was on my side. Every time he touched it, heat kept rushing to his face. Even I don’t know why I’m doing this, I’m still confused.

Especially if you listen to what he has to say to me since then.

He always says I’m cute when he sees me with a red face. Where the hell am I cute, he. Where is this monstrous appearance?

To be honest, when I faced him, I couldn’t help myself looking shabby.

Jet-black hair, a sunken self-an with the power to attract the opposite s*x. And even a beautiful appearance that nine out of ten women would fall in love with at first sight.

On the other hand, what about me?

It is true that he maintains human features, but all parts of his skin are covered with scales like those of a dragon, giving him a monstrous appearance.

The sharp golden eyes numb the hamstrings of those who look directly at them and make them feel rejected.

No matter how much I thought about not hating myself, I couldn’t help it. Because it was right that I was out of shape with a normal person.

But Physis tells me that I’m cute. I felt good, but… … I honestly couldn’t understand. Why?

Is it simply a lie or is it the truth?

I couldn’t figure it out. whether it is true or false. Sometimes I feel like that.

I wish I could read your mind

But that would be a futile wish. Even in the magic books handed down from the previous dragons, such magic did not exist.

In the end, what I can know is the attitude he shows to me and the attitude he shows to others where I can’t see it.

Trust is not something that can be easily given away.

It’s a wish I’ve already made many times, but I hope the image he shows me is sincere, not just a lie.

I hoped so.

As I was lost in thought, the sun was setting outside the window before I knew it. I feel completely better now. No problems, just a little refreshing… … feeling like that

Is it because I’ve been lying in bed for so long? My body itched a little. Well, I couldn’t even wash properly.

I pulled the line and called Mina. Fortunately, Mina quickly opened the door and found me, as if she was nearby.

“Yes, lady. Did you call?”

“mina. I want to take a bath… … Please prepare the bath.”

“Yeah. miss.”

It didn’t take long to prepare for the bath. Mina must have predicted that I would wash up soon, so everything was already ready for the bath.

Surely, it was because he supported me for a long time. Perhaps the one who knows me best in Rodenov is Mina.

Common princesses take a bath with the help of maids or maids, but I was different. I didn’t want to show my body to anyone else.

I’m afraid I’ll look at my body covered with blue-white scales. Of course, I don’t think Mina would do that, but she just didn’t like me.

The rather large bathroom attached to my room was large enough for me alone.

In order not to make the cold worse, I quickly took off everything I was wearing and put myself in the bath.

When the warm water touches the body, the mind begins to feel more comfortable.

How long were you soaking? Something felt itchy.

I couldn’t stand this itching that started from my fingertips, so I started scratching the skin on my fingertips without realizing it.

Why are you doing this?

I knew that scratching hurt my skin, but I couldn’t stop scratching.

How much did you scratch? Usually, if you scratch that much, there should be pain, but there was no pain.

It was a strange thing. When I looked at my fingertips, wondering why.

I couldn’t help but be surprised.

“uh… … ?”

The scales on the fingertips were peeling off. The scales began to peel off along the fingertips, like a snake shedding its skin. What was revealed at the spot where the scales were peeled off was white… … Beautiful white skin.

When I feel embarrassed by the sense of difference in the skin that I do not think is mine.

Itching began to spread all over the body.

“OMG.”

itchy itchy itchy

The scales that once began to peel off naturally began to peel off. Starting from the fingertips, the scales all over the body began to fall off… … Finally.

Even the scales on the side of my face fell off.

Without even having time to feel the slight pain of the scales coming off, I turned my gaze to the bathroom mirror, which I had put away because I didn’t want to look at it right away.

“ah,”

My vision blurs, and I see myself reflected in the mirror.

What is reflected in the mirror… … .

It wasn’t dragon skin, it was me with white, intact human skin. Although it had horns.

The tears didn’t stop. The first time I saw myself after 19 years… …

It was dazzlingly beautiful. Even more so than Princess Lobelia, famous for her beauty.

Seeing my whole face for the first time, I just sat down and wiped away tears.

* * *

how much i cried Realizing that too much time had passed, I hurriedly finished the bath and collected the lumps of scales that had fallen from my body. To prove that I am me.

This was in case other people didn’t recognize me. In fact, you wouldn’t know because of the horns on top of your head.

What will the people of the castle say when they see me? Especially, what would Physis say while looking at me? Will you be delighted, or will you be surprised?

I couldn’t have predicted all the reactions, but a smile began to form on my lips. I was happy.

It wasn’t just an appearance, but… … Somehow, I felt like I had regained my whole self.

I also had doubts. Why did the scales come off all of a sudden?

Phil must have a reason. For reasons I don’t know.

It is said that the family inherited the dragon lineage, but many records about the dragon have been lost.

It’s just that I will have no choice but to live and know.

The gait that was a little shriveled became confident little by little. Finally I opened the bathroom door.

Fortunately, no one was in the room. The clothes were just lying there, neatly arranged. Apparently, he had gone to work separately.

I changed my clothes and looked at myself in the mirror.

I wonder if what I saw in the bathroom earlier was an illusion, more beautiful than anyone I’ve ever seen… … I saw myself

When you’re staring at the mirror endlessly like that.

I hear a knock on the door outside… … I heard Physics’ voice.

“Adilun, are you finished with your bath? I think I’ll have to eat dinner soon, so I’ve prepared it.”

“Yeah. Come on in.”

It was a tense moment. As soon as I finished my answer, there was a squeaking sound and the door opened… … he entered the room

“I’m fine with my body… … ”

His eyes wide open and he looks at me.

“… … Do you?”

He was able to complete his words only after one breath. His surprised face came into my eyes… … His self-awareness meets my golden eyes.

“Yeah.”

Smiling wider than ever, I answered him happily.
