I Became the Fiancé of a Dragon in Romance Fantasy - Chapter 18: This is the last chance (2)

Chapter 18: This is the last chance (2)

At my words, Adilun instantly raised her head and asked me.

“Going together?”

“Yes. I’ve heard that it doesn’t matter that even female nobles participate in hunting competitions if they want to.”

“Aha.”

As if realizing something, Adilun looked at me and said.

“Yes. Let's go together. I would rather be with you than spend all day with the princesses who keep asking me about you.”

“Do the princesses ask about me?”

“Yes. They were very interested in you because of your good looks.”

“Is that true?”

“Yes. To be honest, they ask me about you to the point of being very tired.”

“This…”

To be honest, it was quite embarrassing, so I didn't say anything but she looked at me with a puzzled face and said.

“I have no idea what you are thinking about. It’s not your fault that you’re good-looking. But… …Don’t go around and be bewitched by those innocent princesses. I have no intention of getting involved in a love affair.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

“By the way, do you have any experience in hunting?”

“In hunting… …I do not know. I think it’s hard to say that I can very well. But I don't think I'm too bad.”

“I see. Oh, we arrived at my room, I’ll go in now, and you should rest too.”

“Rest well, Adilun.”

After saying that, when I was about to leave, I suddenly felt like someone grabbing the hem of my clothes.

“Adilun?”

“Thank you for listening to my heart without laughing. At least I should say thank you for this. And don’t forget what I said earlier. Really, this is the last time. The last chance I can give you.”

Somehow, I thought she was cute, and I laughed spontaneously and told her.

“Of course, I will. I will work hard, Adilun.”

“… …What are you laughing at anyway, you should go to rest now too.”

Feeling a bit embarrassed, she said that and quickly opened the door and hid behind it.

Looking at that figure, and thinking she really is cute, I turned my back and started going to my room. While walking I was lost in thought.

She is too kind. To give me, who trampled her on her pride for no reason, a chance to correct my mistakes again, was something really hard to do for anyone. It's like letting her guard down again in front of old danger.

She also told me that she wants to walk a happy life with me. The fragments of hope she expressed were terribly heavy. Can I really do it?

I feel a little afraid. Do I deserve it? Even if I know I'm changed because of my previous life, but that old Physis was also me. All the things I did to her in the past year were by no means less than the people who insulted her at the venue.

I was not this weak In my previous life, even at the moment of facing death, I wasn’t so afraid.

I shouldn’t be like this. 

I forcibly suppressed my fearful heart, made up my mind, and recalled a single resolution in my heart. The resolution of making Adilun happy.

The reason I was able to hold such a determination in my heart is probably possible because I am facing her in person now, unlike in my previous life, where I only faced her in text.

You don’t know how happy I am for that fact alone.

Perhaps this feeling would not be conveyed to Adilun for the rest of my life. But it didn’t matter.

I am satisfied with being able to witness her life and being able to face the hardships she is about to go through together.

Adilun, I will surely live for your happiness.
