I Became the Fiancé of a Dragon in Romance Fantasy

Chapter 70: Please take good care of him



[Physis' POV]

Even though I was a little drunk, there were no problems in keeping my mind clear and under control.

Adilun's audacious provocations continued to shake my head. 

'What on earth did I do?'

Kissing, licking horns, biting...

And kissing for a long time before we came back.

Honestly, I already knew that Adilun was actively taking the initiative, but I couldn't even anticipate her being so upfront about mentioning pregnancy.

The desire I had been holding back surged like an explosion, but I was barely able to endure it.

It must mean that she trusted me to that extent. Perhaps it was her way of showing trust. It had only been a few days since we came to Ortaire, and she was already making such bold provocations, which gradually made me uneasy.

I was afraid I would impregnate her before the wedding.

As the days passed, all I had left was patience. Whenever I looked at her, who became more and more desirable every day, it was not difficult to see that she was deliberately tempting me.

In fact, now it seemed like Adilun was not actually a dragon but a fox or maybe a succubus?

Perhaps that was why tempting me like that… …No it must be because she hopes I won't be swayed.

Moreover, there was the suggestion Adilun made in the end.

If it became too difficult to endure, she told me to come find her.

Somehow... it might not be long before I secretly visit Adilun's bed.

"Ugh..."

Unknowingly, a stifled moan escaped from me. Frankly, it was my limit. I wondered if I could endure for a few more days.

At this point, even if my fiancée was too adorable, it was a problem. I desperately wished.

'Please, tempt me in moderation.'

The day was bright. My family asked what happened during the picnic yesterday, but I just smiled awkwardly and avoided the question.

"Nothing really happened."

"Considering how drunk you were... Wouldn't it be better to have the ceremony quickly? Of course, it's true that you and Princess Rodenov didn't have a good relationship for the past year of your engagement, but now that you both like each other so much, is there any reason to delay the ceremony? It has even been a year since you got engaged."

There was nothing I could say to my mother's words. In fact, our relationship seemed like a sweet engagement to others.

Our relationship had been good enough recently that it wouldn't be strange to go on a honeymoon right away.

"If it's good for both of you,  I’ll talk to Rodenov separately. I think they would be happy too...  Didn’t they also see that the two of you had a very good relationship?”

“It is true, but… … That's why I want to postpone it a little more."

"Why? Tell me the reason in detail."

"It’s true that we get along well, but I still don’t know much about Adilun. We only spend just a few months together and I don't think that this is enough, If it was just dating, I wouldn't mind, but... Marriage and dating are different. I think we need to know each other better in order to care for each other and understand each other more. And right now, Adilun and I are getting to know each other and building that trust. I think if we rush, it could harm our relationship. I'm not saying I need years, I'm not an idiot, but just a little more time will be good enough."

My mother listened to my words and widened her eyes as if questioning if those were truly mine.

“Oh, my goodness. I didn't expect you to say something like that... You genuinely have feelings for Princess Rodenov.”

"...Yes."

"I understand. From now on, I won't say anything about your relationship. Just go in the direction that seems most ideal to both of you."

"Yes, Mother."

"Now, I don't need to worry about you anymore. It's such a relief."

"Haha... I did cause quite a lot of trouble."

"Rather than being upset because of you, it's really better that you're behaving so well now. It's better to regain your senses later than to cause more problems later on."

"That's true. But, Mother."

"Yes?"

"What about my older brother... Is there any news about him? Engagement or dating, for example."

Upon hearing those words, my mother sighed.

"Ha... I don't know either. Who will Huian end up with... He’s a child with no flaws, yet strangely, he has no connections with women. Even if I try to introduce someone, he just keeps rejecting."

"Is that so? Well... I'm sure he'll handle it on his own."

"But it still makes me uneasy that he doesn't even have an engagement partner."

"He is my older brother 'Huian'. I don't think you need to worry too much about him."

“Haa. I’m not sure. I'm just glad that at least you seem to be doing well."

“Hahaha…”

“Anyway, I’m planning to enjoy tea time with Adilun later, will you come too?”

“No. I’m just thinking of going to the training ground.”

"Is that so? Alright."

“Then have a good time with Adilun, Mother.”

"You don't have to tell me, I already planned on doing that."

"Haha. Yes, I was worrying for no reason."

[Adilun's POV]

I headed to Ortaire’s garden because Countess had called for me. Curious about the reason, I went and she simply said she wanted to have tea time.

As I entered the garden, a refreshing scent different from the winter garden filled the air. The overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming, unlike the chilly ambiance of the winter garden, giving off a completely different feeling.

Even though I had been here once before, it seemed that the charm of this unfamiliar scenery didn't easily fade away.

"Welcome, Adilun."

“Hello, madam.”

Countess greeted me with a bright smile on her lips. Every time I saw her, her smile always put me at ease, and it felt comforting to be welcomed with a smile each time.

"Did you enjoy the picnic yesterday?"

"Yes, it was a delightful picnic."

I smiled and took a sip of the tea personally prepared by her.

"So, how far have things progressed between Physis and you?"

“Cough!”

However, as soon as I took a sip of tea, I unintentionally choked upon hearing the Countess's question.

"Cough, cough!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't expect such a strong reaction..."

"Oh, no, it's my fault. I apologize for being impolite..."

"I wouldn't call it impolite. But judging by your reaction... I suppose things have progressed quite far."

"...Y-yes."

"Hehe, I see. Well, I won't pry any further since it could be a bit uncomfortable. However, there's one thing I would like to ask. Princess Adilun Rodenov."

“Yes.”

“Do you want to marry Physis right away? If the princess nods, I’m thinking of holding the ceremony right away, even if it means persuading Physis.”

Marriage. Honestly, I expected this topic to come up by now. It had been about a year and a half since Physis and I became engaged.

Considering that most princesses usually wait about half a year after the engagement before getting married... my marriage was indeed becoming overly delayed.

Over the past year, our relationship was worse than others. If Physis hadn't changed, our engagement would surely have been broken.

But now, the situation was completely opposite to back then. We respected and loved each other. That much was certain.

We hadn't confessed our feelings or engaged in a physical relationship... but it was undoubtedly a relationship where we could consider ourselves lovers.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say I didn’t feel the same way.

But… … I had decided. The upcoming seven months were a time when we had to firmly build trust in each other.

So, marriage was still too early.

I concluded that and shook my head.

"No, it's still too early for marriage. Thank you for your concern, madam."

"I see. I understand. It's fortunate that both of you seem to have the same thoughts."

"...Yes."

"It feels new. To think that two people who had such a strained relationship could become this close, I, and even my husband, didn't expect it. I wondered if it was our greed that caused pain to both of you... Thank you so much again, Adilun, for forgiving Physis."

The Countess spoke while looking into the distance.

"Thank you for thinking that way."

"I worried a lot and hoped that the relationship between you two would improve, but when it actually became a reality, I'm at a loss for words. Our Physis, please scold him sharply when he makes mistakes. My future daughter-in-law, Princess Rodenov."

The Countess smirked mischievously, but her gaze still remained in the distance.

"Yes. But I think I'll make more mistakes."

"That's okay. That child has made far more mistakes. So, I hope your future is filled with blessings. Don't cheat on each other, just look at each other... I hope you have such a life. Oh, you don't need to worry about Physis cheating."

"Really? Is that so?"

"Yes. That child has never been interested in women, even when he reached the age to be attracted to them."

"I see..."

"But still, hold onto him tightly just in case. He probably won't be able to resist your words. I never thought that child would be capable of loving someone... I'm just grateful that it turned out this way."

I also gazed in the direction the Countess was looking and honestly replied.

"Yes. I'll keep that in mind. And I'll do my best to live the way you suggested."

"That's all I ask. Ah, but... I still want to see a child between you two soon."

"Ah..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"....Ahaha... wh... Hahaha..."

I couldn't bring myself to say anything to her words, so all I could do was let out an awkward laugh.
