I Tried to Become a Worthless Scumbag to Break Our Engagement for His Happiness, but Instead I Was Hugged, Kissed, and Sworn Eternal Love by the Ice Knight (BL) - CHAPTER 6
Fleck realized at once that he was dreaming. Because standing before him was Heliosphere, already grown. The person who had been so small only a moment ago was now grown, like an adult. That was why this had to be a dream.
He understood, and he gazed at the person he loved. Wearing the academy uniform, so beautiful, so beloved. Her face showed no trace of warmth, and so, ah—Fleck thought, the time had come.
Even in the dream, Fleck was still Fleck. But the Fleck in the dream was also different.
The memories and feelings of the Fleck in the dream came pouring into him, flooding him again and again.
Fleck’s fiancée had always been truly, truly captivating. Because of his strange constitution, she had to be engaged to him to secure her safety—such a pitiful person. He had known for a long time that this person did not love him. He had also known that her family resented the engagement.
He knew that everyone, everyone except his own family, wondered why Heliosphere Nyuno had to marry a useless man like Fleck Torino.
Everyone, all of them—why, why, why? With someone like you. With you.
They cast their gazes at him, sometimes even threw words at him. Fleck’s heart had nearly broken again and again.
Bitter remarks were an everyday thing. Harassment he could not fight back against increased year by year. Whispers behind his back, direct attacks of magic hurled at him—because of his body’s ability to nullify it.
And yet, Fleck remained her fiancé. He clung to Heliosphere’s arm. Because if he didn’t, Heliosphere would die.
Fleck alone understood. That Heliosphere’s peculiar constitution was abnormal. That his body produced magic power far beyond what could be dismissed as “magical rampage.”
To consume it, he had to use magic. But no matter what, the power he produced was only of ice.
The only world his magic could create was one of frozen winds and biting cold, stripping warmth away.
At the time of his magical awakening, Heliosphere had frozen the mansion, nearly killing his own mother.
That trauma still remained. Heliosphere was a genius at controlling magic.
But there was no guarantee that his control would forever suppress the rampages that surged beyond it.
For now, he could control it. But if ever it went beyond his control, if he truly killed someone—then Heliosphere’s heart would shatter, and he would die.
That was why Fleck clung to him. So that he would not freeze, he kept bestowing upon him the only thing he could give.
