I Became the Fiancé of a Dragon in Romance Fantasy - Chapter 11: Prom (1)
Chapter 11: Prom (1)
“Yeah. It’s over. Let's go now.”
Saying that Adilun held out her hand to me.
However, her hand was shaking slightly, so I could tell how much pressure she was under at this ball.
She must be thinking of the countless other princesses who would keep her in check, and the people who would whisper to themselves while looking at herself covered in bluish-white scales and with horns on her head.
The biggest problem is that I can’t give her any psychological comfort.
Even though I saw her trembling, I couldn’t even say anything to ease Adilun's feelings because of the sins I had committed because I was also one of the people who took her confidence away.
The insult I had brought to her face the other day on her appearance, although I apologized, must still have left a scar on her heart.
Saying something for her now would only make her angry and embarrassed.
All I can do is hold her hand so that she doesn’t tremble.
“What’s wrong?”
She asked me if she could feel the strength in the hand she was holding.
“it’s nothing.”
I couldn’t say anything. I couldn’t even make light jokes like before. Because if I did, she would be genuinely angry.
“Don’t forget what you promised, because today is the most important day.”
“I already know. Do not worry too much.”
“Let’s go.”
There was no conversation between us after that.
In silence, I could only hope that, she doesn’t get hurt today.
I know that it is a hopeless wish, a wish that could not come true, but I hoped so.
