I Became the Fiancé of a Dragon in Romance Fantasy

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

 

So, if I treat her in a rude way it will be the same as ignoring Rodenov.

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

* * *

[Adilun's POV] 

 

I looked at the young man in front of me.

 

Only two days ago.
It was just two days ago, the same young man spoke terrible words to me and left.

 

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

 

I knew that my appearance was different from others.

 

The scales that have stuck to my body since I was born and my foreign skin that is different from other.

 

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

 

But I knew from the start that I was different from other.
unlike me, didn’t have scales.

 

When I asked why I have them, my father and mother told me, that you are a child born with the dragon’s blessing and 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, 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 fairy tails, and entered the ballroom with proud steps.

 

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

 

Monster!!, Gross thing…
a demon!.

 

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 such things about my scales, called it brilliant and god's blessings in front of me.

 

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 and see me as a monster.

 

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

 

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, their culture, and things they do or like.

 

I didn’t have many opportunities to use them, but it was thrilling to see the contempt in their eyes suddenly changing and becoming 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.

 

For five years I locked myself in the castle and concentrated only on magic.
In the meantime, I heard something new.

 

It was about 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 saw me, he openly put on an expression that He is looking at something terrible in his eyes.
Following his facial expression, my emotions became terrified.

 

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?

[TL – Gongnyeo is the Korean word used for women who were dedicated to powerful countries by their vessels.]

 

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

 

The gaze of disgust from the person with whom I had to spend the rest of my life was more scary.

 

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 he 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.
For the person who told me to go away and never want to see my hideous face again to come now?

 

'Under pressure.'

 

He must have been under pressure from the family.
The arrogant and rude Physis will apologize?

 

Unsurprisingly, the ferocious words came out of my mouth.

 

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

 

Could I have a voice like this?

 

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