I Became the Fiance of a Dragon in Romance Fantasy

Chapter 55

55 – Huh?.

Ayla Isvante was a timid girl. Because she was a shy person, she did not easily get along with others, and because of that, she maintained an attitude of stepping back from the princesses.

Moreover, since she was not the type to enjoy walking around outside, her taste was extremely static, and in the end, she had to dwell on the bitterness alone when she went to a banquet without making contact with any princess.

In fact, she also wanted to make friends, but her timidity of not being able to speak properly when facing people further isolated her.

Until there, there was no problem. She didn’t associate with others often, and she was out of public attention.

In the first place, I did not get involved with others, so I did not get involved in various incidents or accidents.

However, her somewhat peaceful but lonely situation changes.

That is, on the day Ayla first set foot in the social world, a male aristocrat who had a crush on Ayla appeared.

Ayla was naive and timid, but at least she knew how to be considerate of others. The male aristocrat, who was attracted by that, was in a situation where, of course, he already had a fiancée.

What followed was obvious.

Ayla didn’t have much interest in the male aristocrat, and rather rejected him out of fear, but the male aristocrat did not yield to him and continued to court Ayla.

However, the fiancée of the male aristocrat, who was displeased with the appearance, began to harass Ayla, and eventually, the somewhat influential fiancée mobilized their close friends to vent their low feelings toward Ayla.

Even if it seems like a no big deal to someone, it was a terrible day for Ayla. To the point where I hate getting involved with people.

She didn’t want to go to the banquet even more, and she hated meeting someone. It made me afraid of people.

It was then that Ayla met Adyllun.

It must have been Adirun’s birthday banquet. Isvante, a minor noble in the north, had no choice but to attend Adirun’s birthday banquet, and Ayla met Adirun for the first time there.

Although others loathe and fear her scaly appearance, she has stood tall and behaved befitting a successor to Rodenov.

Ayla was not afraid of Adilun’s appearance, but felt that her proud behavior was great.

Unfortunately for Ayla, most of the northern nobles had already attended Adyllun’s birthday banquet, and of course, those who had been bothering her were also present.

Those who bullied Ayla outside of everyone’s eyes once again called her separately and harassed her. I couldn’t even ask anyone for help. Because she was a descendant of a powerless aristocratic family.

The aristocratic man who first wooed her turned his attention to another woman as if he had lost interest in her, but his fiancée still harassed Ayla.

The bullying that started with anger as the driving force has become a habit.

Just as they were serving as an outlet for the emotions of the princesses in the garden, Adilun appeared in front of them.

Adilun couldn’t accept that someone would bully others at his birthday banquet.

She responded immediately. He hid Ayla behind himself, kicked out the male aristocratic fiancée and the people who followed her and harassed Ayla from the banquet, and threatened that if he touched Ayla in the future, it would be regarded as touching Rodenov.

Only then was Ayla freed from them, and she tried to say thank you to Adilun.

However, Ayla, who is timid, ended up saying thank you and running away, so she missed the opportunity to make her first friend.

With that memory at that time, she decided that she shouldn’t live like this, and tried to change herself little by little. Beginning with the practice of talking to the maids of the family first, a tearful effort was made over the years.

And finally, at this point, Ayla, who has shed her timidity, attends this social gathering to thank Adyllun for saving her and to ask if he can be a friend.

It’s a story that’s sure to happen somewhere, but I nodded my head because Ayla’s attitude in telling the story was quite serious.

indeed. I wondered how such a timid person could talk to me, but was there a steady effort?

“I guess that happened.”

“Yes Yes. Princess Rodenov is a really nice person.”

“But isn’t it different now? What year did you say it was then?”

“It was three years ago.”

“It is impossible to say that Adirun then and Adirun now are the same. Isn’t it? Haven’t you ever thought that as much as you have changed, Adirun must have changed as well?”

“That, that… … .”

Ayla couldn’t answer easily. I kept pushing her.

“Perhaps Adiluun is not what you know now. She suppressed me and even slapped me on the cheek, as you saw yesterday. Would such a person really remember Princess Ayla?”

“… … .”

Ayla thought about it, then shook her head.

“Nope. You probably don’t remember.”

I remembered. I wanted to be honest, but I kept quiet because I had a duty to see Ayla’s reaction.

“But it doesn’t matter. Because I came here to become friends with Princess Rodenov in the first place.”

I could be sure by looking into her determined eyes.

That girl really wants to get to know Adyllun.

I nodded.

“Do as you please. Of course, don’t think that I will change your mind about Adilun.”

“… … Yes. Actually, I didn’t think Sir Physis would change his mind. It’s only natural that you were even slapped on the cheek by Princess Rodenov. But I just wanted to tell you. It’s not that you’re such a bad person. Then I’ll go see Princess Rodenov.”

“Yeah.”

I nodded nonchalantly, but inside I was happy.

It was because I could tell without looking at what Adyllun would be happy in my room at night.

Come to think of it, I remember that Princess Lobelia also said that she would become Adilyun’s friend, but since National Day, we haven’t had anything to meet… … It must be good for her just to have a friend who will be nearby right now.

Above all, Princess Lobelia is a little ambiguous to be a mere friend.

The relationship of being a pure friend without any intention is a law that gives people strength.

At this social gathering, I thought I would find a lot of people to weed out, but I never thought there would be such an unexpected harvest.

I looked at Ayla as she walked towards Adyllun. Ayla looked at Adyllun and was delighted to say thank you for helping her before, finally being able to say it.

Adilun treated Ayla in a perplexed manner, perhaps unfamiliar with Ayla’s friendly attitude, and then nodded happily when Ayla cautiously asked if it was okay to be her friend.

By the time they were building friendships with each other, I was gradually grasping the inner thoughts of the nobles approaching me, and today’s banquet was finally over.

* * *

At the end of the banquet, I sent flames to Adilun.

– Adilun.

-Yeah?

– Yesterday, Adilun came to my room, so can I come over today? I felt like I had to tell you about a noble who figured out his intentions today.

-Uh, yes? Yes. Please. But can you not hear me?

-I’m good at hiding or infiltrating. I’ll see if the time is right later and I’ll find it through the window.

-If so… … I know.

As soon as Adilun gave permission, I went straight to my room, washed briefly, opened the window of my room, and started climbing the outer wall of the castle while changing into slightly simpler clothes.

Since most of the structure of the castle and rooms were already known, finding Adirun’s room was not difficult. It wasn’t even that far from my room in the first place.

Since it was already late at night, no one was looking at the castle, so I was able to reach Adilun’s room smoothly.

Adilun had the window of the terrace wide open, probably expecting me to come. I jumped right into it.

“Adilune.”

I called her name softly from the terrace.

However, when I didn’t hear Adirun’s answer, I went straight into her room, wondering if something serious had happened.

There was no one in the room. Didn’t you expect me to come this early?
