I Became the Fiancé of a Dragon in Romance Fantasy - Chapter 14: Prom (4)

Chapter 14: Prom (4)

Adilun's POV]

In front of me, two people were dancing. The appearance of Princess Lobelia and Physis dancing and talking to each other in the calm music was different from before, it was so beautiful that anyone would be mesmerized.

As her gorgeous blond hair fluttered calmly, admiration erupted from all around. 

Even to me, a woman like her was too beautiful. 

Come to think of it, since I was little, I’ve heard compliments on Princess Lobelia’s beauty. As the saying goes, the sight of her and Physis dancing together now was beautiful in itself, regardless of whether they danced well or not.

However, it was not that Physis was any less in terms of appearance and beauty- Neatly combed black hair and a rare alluring face.

Seeing him standing with Princess Lobelia, who alone made the faces of many young ladies blush, made me feel very pitiful.

I gently touched my skin.

Smooth, bluish-white scales that can't be called human skin at all. I began to hate my appearance, which some admired because I was of dragon blood, while others condemned me as a hideous monster.

It’s a body inherited from my parents, and the pride that I inherited from the legend of my ancestors broke down bit by bit.

In fact, I didn’t even want this at all. What I hoped for was not a grandiose legend, It was normality. Just normal life with a normal appearance, meeting other people, talking to them… such things.

I longed for the kind of normality that was impossible for me. So every time I saw the scene in front of my eyes, I felt bitter, because these people can do things that are impossible for me.

The dance comes to an end before I knew it, and as that beautiful dance between those two gradually comes to an end, suddenly, they whispered a word and smiled at each other.

I was momentarily short of breath. I don’t even know why I’m feeling this. However, what is now gripping my heart can certainly be called misery.

Yes. I was miserable.

I hated seeing my fiancé, who didn’t get along with me, and Princess Lobelia exchanging smiles with each other. But It wasn’t jealousy, that much was certain.

He was the fiancé I hated in the first place. And it wasn’t even an engagement that was concluded by my will. But even so, I couldn’t avoid becoming miserable when I looked at this handsome man and this beautiful woman getting along so well.

Looking at the two people who create an impossible figure for me, I couldn’t stop longing and feeling self-deprecating.

It was a sound I had never heard before when Physis and I were dancing there. It was the sound that told me, the person ‘me’ is not even accepted as a person.

I suddenly remembered the voice of certain aristocrats who I had forcibly ignored earlier.

'Look at those scales and the horns on her head? don't they look no different from a monster?'

'Prince Ortaire is really pitiful. He looks so handsome, but he has to marry such a monster because of an arranged marriage. Did you see the forced smile on his face earlier? I feel very sad for him.'

Earlier I pretended not to hear them and just ignored them, but that words stuck in my heart. Yes, a monster…

I am neither human nor animal, but a monster. Even if I do achieve something, it won’t be an achievement for anyone to marvel at, it will just be the monstrous act of a monster.

No. I shook my head and made up my mind to not weaken little by little.

It’s not long since I promised myself to have a determined will, so I must not have weak thoughts like this, I must not be led by their intentions.

What am I trying to do by denying myself? All traces of my life, all the affection I received from my parents, should not be attributed to nonsense.

Yes. Let us not be weak, Adilun.

But even after repeating that, I couldn’t help but feel the bitterness rising from the inside.

Also, I miss the North. If the cold yet strong wind hits my face, these miscellaneous thoughts will fly away automatically.
