44 – More than anyone.

As soon as I opened the door, what I saw was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.

The woman was Adyllun. horns on top of the head. Her hair, dark blue like the night sky, was enchantingly wet as if she had just finished taking a bath, and as always, a low but pleasant voice came from her mouth.

Finally… … Even the bright golden eyes, as if seeing through the opponent.

“Adilon. The scales… … . What happened?”

“I don’t know either. just… … After taking a bath, my whole body started to itch, and when I scratched, the scales fell off.”

“Do you have any pain somewhere? Is it a place where you feel pain?”

“Oh, I don’t think there is for now.”

“ha. Fortunately, the. Were you worried?”

I wondered if the scales had fallen off somewhere in her body, but if so, she would have a painful expression on her face, so that’s not the case either.

Rather than admiring her beauty, I felt rather fortunate.

She will no longer have to gossip about her appearance.

Rather, Adyllun would probably be the subject of praise for most subjects. Also, you will witness the jealousy of countless princesses.

However, it was better to be excellent enough to make others jealous than to blame and suffer for being a monster. That would be a testament to how good you are.

“Impression, is that all?”

I came to my senses at the voice full of regret that I heard when I was immersed in thoughts and faced her again.

“no. It’s too late to say this.”

I shake my head.

“It’s beautiful, Adilon. More than anyone I’ve ever seen.”

He spoke the words she most wanted to hear.

“… … is that so. That’s fortunate.”

At my words, she made the most happy expression I have ever seen.

If you look at the slightly sharp eyes bending beautifully, your heart sinks. It was an outrageous look. To the extent that if you let go of your mind, you will be enchanted at once.

“What’s wrong?”

“Oh, nothing.”

But wouldn’t Adirun be rather disappointed if he did that? I am the one who, not long ago, spat countless insults at her.

If I change my attitude toward her simply because her appearance has changed, and approach her more aggressively, wouldn’t that alone hurt her?

Probably. so… … Avoid talking about your appearance.

Of course, she may also want to be confirmed that her appearance has improved. However, that is the reaction that people who have loved her from the beginning should show.

So, I, who insulted her with my appearance all year long and reflected my rejection, is a reaction I shouldn’t dare to show, and it’s a hot topic. It is nothing more than a deception of her.

“Ah, speaking of meals… … Once I brought soup. Would you like some?”

So I stupidly had no choice but to ask her like that. She nodded.

For some reason, there is a hint of regret on her face.

Perhaps, it was as if he was trying to let others know that he had taken off his scales… … well now

Since he had just finished taking a bath and had a cold, he thought it would be better to have some food and recover his energy before calling the people to Adiluun’s room.

“Ah yes.”

“But just in case, lie down in bed. If you’re not careful, you might catch a cold again. Especially since you’ve taken a bath, you’d better warm up quickly.”

“yes. I know.”

I grabbed her by the shoulders and led her to the bed. Then he brought the tray carrying the meals in front of her and took out the soup on the silver platter.

As I had been doing all day, naturally I put the soup spoon into her mouth.

“ruler. Oh, do it.”

“ah.”

Adilun also seemed to have gotten used to it, and he quickly bit into the spoon I was holding out.

“I can get tired of soup every time, are you okay?”

“Because I’m not the type to enjoy eating something in the first place… … . And above all, this soup is really delicious. It doesn’t look so immature to complain about the soup or food that the chef has put so much effort into.”

“I’m glad that’s the case. Actually, I was worried. Eating the same food for days on end is not good either.”

“It’s really fine.”

“If there is something wrong with your body, please tell me. To be honest… … I am a little anxious.”

As if pondering over my words for a moment, I rested my hand on my chin and lost myself in thought. Perhaps, it contains the question of why the scales suddenly fell off.

“Well… … For now, this is my hypothesis.”

“Yeah.”

“It is said that snakes are at their weakest when they shed their skin.”

“Yes.”

“maybe… … I guess the reason I caught a cold was to escape. Oddly enough, I didn’t do a lot of pettiness.”

“Then your body will grow more after that, does that mean?”

“I do not know. I don’t even know that far. Things like mine weren’t that common, and there weren’t any records.”

“Anyway, I understand. Ah, Adilune.”

“Yeah.”

I will have finished eating. You can call other people now. Adilun certainly seemed to have recovered much more energy than before.

“I will bring His Excellency Duke Johannes and Duchess Claudia.”

* * *

In an instant, the door closed and he said he would bring his father and mother and left.

Even after he left, I couldn’t believe the current situation, so I pinched my cheek.

It felt tingly, and it hurt.

It’s not a dream. I looked at my hand. Clear skin came into my eyes.

oh

Only then did I know That I wasn’t a monster. being a whole person.

The self-defeating sense of shame began to disappear at once. The wounds that lowered my self-esteem are starting to wash away.

The reaction that Physis showed just before was triggering such thoughts even more.

After he said he was beautiful, the reason he didn’t bother to say additional things about my appearance was probably to be considerate of me.

As soon as he saw my changed appearance, what he said came to mind.

‘Is there any pain anywhere?’

‘Fortunately, the.’

He was concerned about my condition first. I didn’t put my appearance first.

At the same time, I started to think of the insults he had made a year ago.

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

ugly molars. yes. The words I heard back then had taken away all my pride and put me down.

But now he… … I didn’t forget, I knew.

What did he say, and how great was the wound I received then? So I must have had no choice but to save words about my appearance.

But I also felt a little bit sad.

It was to the point where I inadvertently wished he’d paid more attention to my appearance. Because I wanted to recover my shattered pride little by little like that.

To say that it was beautiful is not a bit lacking.

As I was expressing my dissatisfaction like that, a thought suddenly came to my mind.

he… … Have you ever told someone you are beautiful?

I continue to think deeply.

National Day.

Princess Lobelia. and numerous other princesses.

Come to think of it, he had never once praised another woman’s appearance or admired her beauty.

He… … told me i was beautiful

The fact that I suddenly realized, joy begins to fill my heart.

He acknowledged his mistakes, cared for me, and acknowledged me.

Because of what happened in the last few days, I couldn’t help but feel grateful to him little by little, but to think he had gone this far.

My thoughts about him started to go one step further, in a positive direction.

* * *

I moved to the Winter Garden attached to the current Rodenov Castle. It was because I had heard that the Duke and Duchess had been chatting here for the first time in a while.

“Five. Isn’t it Phish? What happened?”

His Excellency, Duke Johannes, welcomed me. The Duchess next to him was also looking at me with a welcome look.

Recently, since I started to take care of Adilun with utmost sincerity, I could feel that the favor they had with me increased rapidly.

“dismissal. Can you go to Adilun’s room for a moment? The Duchess is also with you.”

“Well? Has something happened to Adiluun?”

“… … Yes. However, it is not a bad thing.”

“What is going on?”

“The scales on Adirun’s body… … It fell apart.”

“what? Is that true?”

“Really?

The two opened their eyes wide and looked at me.

“Yeah. dismissal. go fast Adilun is also waiting for you two.”

“Go right now. Madam, let’s go.”

“Yeah. go fast dismissal.”

So, we quickly headed to Adilun’s room.

At the things that would happen afterwards, I somehow started to laugh.
