35-2. How a queen catches a knight.
***
Once Sophitia sent Licht back, she invited Fine to her own bedroom.
“..Sophie, did you have to do this?”
“It reminds me of the old days, doesn’t it?”
Because I also added a postscript to come in pajamas.
From noble mtl dot com
“Pine, it’s been a while since I saw you. I’m glad you look so bright.”
It was a pajama party with two high-ranking women dressed in striking black and white outfits with frills.
If the people of the Empire or the North had seen this scene, they would surely have been unable to keep their mouths shut.
“..Yes, Licht. Thanks to.”
“You are so unique. How the hell did you meet that man?”
Sophitia took her luck by recalling the Black Knight, who threatened her with a spear herself, but she did not waver.
Even though everything was frozen except for the lower part of her neck, the man who calmly told her of her love for Pinegrancia, as if the accident had cooled down.
“At first, I approached to get swordsmanship.”
“Is it because of Drake Ryu? Most of the time, you just have to learn it with your body.”
“Right.”
Is that the reason your body looks solid, unlike other imperial citizens who use mana? Sophitia with a smile on her face.
She also showed great skills when subduing the Apostle of Wrath. If not Grand level, at least Sword Master level.
“We became friends after teaching swordsmanship like that? Enough to say that the princess is a precious person?”
“More than that, he was considerate of me even though he knew who I was.”
So I thought the distance got closer while teaching swordsmanship, but I guess it wasn’t. Sophitia felt a bit regretful when her calculations made a mistake.
“Even though I knew you were the princess, you treated me like a friend. It was good.”
“..Really? Without selfishness or blackness? You are very pretty.”
Fine Grancia was a beauty from the point of view of a Northern Grand Duchess. She goes in where she goes in and comes out where she comes out….
A woman’s body without superfluities. After her coming-of-age ceremony, she became more and more beautiful enough to attract men’s hearts.
“It’s a bit perverted, but it only gives cute reactions.”
“Well, when you were next to me, they just looked at the sky and desperately tried to hold it in.”
An alluring wolf that can steal all the eyes of men passing by if you take off your helmet and walk down the street. It was itself.
When it comes to her, Sophitia is her Fine. When she is next to her, she feels a complex about her body.
A man named Rich did seem a bit ignorant, but
“It’s a cute puppy. Licht.”
“If you think of people that way, you will get your nose hurt. Blood.”
“But Licht is like a puppy afraid of people….”
Rather, Sophitia drew an arc around her mouth thinking that her liking was so great that she wanted to cherish it.
“What does your face look like? I don’t know because I always cover my face with a helmet.”
“You look ugly. Very.”
As a strategist, she kept scooping Fine. One thing that was clear about her was that it was strange that she showed emotions beyond crush.
“Even though you are extremely ugly, do you want to cherish it? Enough to give up your tail?”
“..Yes.”
Her icy expression softened slightly as Fine spoke in a tone that seemed to be thinking of Richet.
“Richt… I don’t want to be taken away from someone else.”
A man who hates lies is desperately trying not to lose a man and even lies.
“I want to get closer and be special, but there is no way.”
It was the moment when the pure heart of the girl with pure white wolf ears and tail was conveyed, and the Grand Duchess of the North was convinced.
My friend is having his first love.
Fine is shy, covering her face with her sheep’s hair. The empty glass is filled with the wine of love.
“So, Sophie.”
“Huh?”
However, it is a raw feeling that has not matured yet.
At this rate, the moment you lose your innocence, you will surely run out of control. It was Phineas who threatened even her friend, Sophitia, by exposing her teeth.
Because of that, I decided not to break her innocence. Originally, the feeling of love was far from calculating Sophitia,
“Today’s recommendation…. What?”
“I told you before. Blood.”
I took the action of saying it in a roundabout way. She shouldn’t be easily advised of something she hasn’t experienced.
“It’s a novel titled How a Queen Caught a Knight.”
“..That’s a strange title.”
I took out a book I had prepared in advance from the bookshelf. A novel that has been modified by changing not only the content inside but also the cover. It was a collection of short stories written in half a day by borrowing the power of northerners.
“This romance novel is a bit unusual.”
“It was that the Queen and the Knight made love to her.”
Sarak, Sarak. There was the sound of pages turning. In fact, I just wished I had written the plot with a slight twist on the story of Fine and Richt.
“Pine, you know how easy it is for a knight to catch a queen, right?”
“Is it common in chess?”
“Of course.”
It wasn’t very difficult. The Black Knight and the Princess. On a chess board, it’s a black knight and a white queen.
“In this novel, chess pieces look like people.”
“..I think it’s cute.”
In this case, the queen loves the knight. She tried to catch her, but if there was a knight who ran away, she wondered what she would do.
“The plot is that the white queen falls in love with the black knight.”
This novel contains the result of that trouble.
“Where did the white king go…?”
In fact, if he marries Fine, Licht will automatically gain power similar to hers. Because she becomes the husband of the one who becomes the empress.
“She abandoned the queen, saying that the king would live with him.”
I dramatized it a little here. Because real life and books are different.
“Too much..”
“I don’t think so. He’s a king.”
Sophitia was dumbfounded when Licht told her that she couldn’t make it because of her status. Even Emperor Locke rose from a woodcutter in the mountains with one sword.
In fact, they seemed to have many similarities. The emperor appeared as a war hero holding an axe and even unified the four divided countries into an empire.
Likewise, while Licht is a hero who even killed the Demon King of Omniscience, he said that he would not be able to marry the princess was too ignorant of the world.
“So she feels envy of the white queen as she sees the other colored knight guarding the black queen, and she struggles to catch it….”
“They can move differently, so they will run parallel lines.”
If there was a strong backlash, you could give him the rank of count, make him a nobleman, and marry him.
A woman who has the sole right to inherit the throne of the Grancia Empire.
She could even secretly live forever by detaining Licht underground without anyone knowing. Even if the emperor or the people oppose it, what use is it?
The princess with omnipotent power, that is Fine Grancia.
“Even if you’re a queen, is there anything you can’t do..?”
“If the knight makes up his mind and runs away, she won’t be caught.”
After all, she can become a knight white king if she wants to, but this is too blatant.
“Right. It seems to be getting closer, but it’s getting farther away…. I cannot meet you.”
“It’s like Licht with me..”
Unlike Licht, Fine is honest about her feelings. So Sophitia waited for the story to come out of her own mouth,
“I was curious after hearing that.”
When Fine showed a little knowing expression, Sophitia asked a few questions to confirm her feelings.
“Pine, does your heart beat fast when you are next to Licht?”
“..I don’t know.”
Sophitia was discouraged when she saw the princess, whose condition was more severe than she thought.
I’ve seen her show affection by touching her tail and even scratching her chin a little while ago.
To say that she doesn’t even know about the beating of her heart, even if Sophitia has never experienced her love, she knows the basics.
“Really? Never had one Think carefully. Blood.”
“..Ah, there is.”
Sophitia looked at Fine as she clapped her hands lightly as if she had thought of something, and Sophitia’s face turned red, but soon that expectation was shattered once more.
“If I stick by Licht’s side, Licht’s heart beats.”
“Is that the end..?”
“Whoops, if that’s the case…. My heart, which had been numb for a long time, felt like it was beating too, so I feel comfortable.”
Hearing those words, the Grand Duchess of the North felt a sense of déjà vu. She had heard of this somewhere, and a memory flashed through her head at the sensation she felt.
“I can’t believe you…. Did you try a dragon heart transplant…?”
“.. Huh? Of course.”
The magic circuits of a country’s princess and a man are connected. Somehow, I felt that the magical power I felt was slightly different from before.
“Pine, if His Majesty knows about this, you know what to do!!”
“It was necessary. Sophie.”
I’m going to try and slaughter a man named Rich. Tears of blood flowed from her eyes, and the entire academy could be wiped out.
What Locke did after the Empress Belin Grancia was beaten by Magic Hat was truly shocking. It was because he wiped out all the remnants of the cult of warriors single-handedly.
The dominant theory is that the reason why they couldn’t move for a long time was that they quietly died so as not to offend Emperor Locke.
Because they are a race of wolves who value family above all else.
“Licht saved my life several times, but I couldn’t.”
“That doesn’t mean risking your life to save it. We could have died together!”
“The comfort and warm feelings I received from Licht are not enough. Sophie.”
Unknowingly, Fine took her luck with her love for Licht. The feeling of love is insufficient to express in words, and insufficient in action.
“My mother was also saved by Licht.”
“What..? Then really….”
If it is true that he rescued the empress who was thought to be dead, then the differences in social status that Licht had spoken about would be of no use.
I’m a hero from another world, so I’m not familiar with this. Dennis and the Heavenly Demon also had common sense that went the other way.
“To me… He is a precious person who feels more like a hero than a warrior. Please don’t speak carelessly. Sophitia Coldheart.”
With her golden eyes sparkling, Fine revealed her true feelings. A firm fury she asked not to swear at the person she liked anymore.
“If that’s your opinion… Then I’ll get it.”
“I’m sorry for talking so harshly. Sophie.”
When she saw the confident side she had seen when she was young, Sophitia had no choice but to step back.
“No. I asked something So do you know how the queen catches the knight?”
“What is it..?”
She just went from talking about novels to naturally moving on to love stories and tried to give her advice about love.
“I’m going to do everything possible.”
This is a passionate feeling, so I thought that if I touched it, I could be beheaded as well, so I avoided talking directly about what love was.
Surely, if Fine becomes conscious of love because of him and starts dating Licht, the blade will surely point north. Instead, he listened to the contents of the novel and gave advice.
“Well, treat your stomach with delicious food….”
Although he himself had never been in a relationship, he knew what to do to attract men. Iron-Blooded, united by calculation and logic.
“Or there are many ways to make it fun by making a physical charge, right?”
It was advice like Sophitia who rules the north. If it’s not on her own side, she’s trying to placate her, and if it doesn’t work, she’ll get rid of it.
“It was the same with Knight here. Because all men are the same.”
“..Licht didn’t work with a physical charge. Sophie.”
“Looks like it works? She didn’t look like a eunuch.”
Remembering Licht, who used to cross her legs or walk strangely when Fine was by her side, Sophitia continued her words,
“I was attacked by an apostle and asked to kiss her. She refused….”
“…”
She was dumbfounded to hear that the country’s princess tried to slap her on the lips, but she refused. She is so beautiful that it is said that she saved the country in her previous life.
“You are a eunuch.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Oh, Sophie…Don’t do it. The ball grows…”
As soon as she told Licht what she had been rejected for, her Fine’s ears and tail were down, so Sophitia tugged at her cheeks to freshen up her mood.
“If you ignored a kiss from such a cute kid, you can call it a eunuch!”
She started gossiping about the black knight to cheer up her friend, who was starting to see the bright side at best.
“Huh, you might be right.”
Seeing Fine laugh with a small laugh, Sophitia stopped her mischief and approached her bookshelf again.
“Oh, Fine. There is a famous hot spring in the north around here?”
As a strategist, her brain spun quickly, and she took out a thick book with famous landmarks in the North. What I read in front of Licht just before.
“They say it’s great for the skin. How about a visit before going back to the empire?”
“Good for the skin..?”
Sophitia finished her calculations, thinking about what she had seen of her in the North and what she had done to kiss her.
If you talk like this, Fine, who seems to have an exclusive desire, will take care of it.
“Even with burn marks…. Good?”
“Yes, there are so many different types of baths.”
I kept the fact that there is a mixed bath a secret for now. Licht, who looked like a eunuch who said this, could have run away, and if her curiosity was strong, she would definitely enter.
“Thanks for the recommendation. Sophie.”
The operation ends if you induce Richt to take a mixed bath beforehand. It was a trap that the wolf would attack if you deceived it as if it were a man’s bath and laid a trap.
How the queen catches the knight. In fact, it is difficult for a queen to catch a knight alone.
“I can’t go because I’m busy. Have fun and come Blood!”
Then she just needs to use different words to isolate the knight. For example, it is a problem that can be solved by using a rook or a bishop.
Sophitia smiled strangely, turning her eyes into half moons.
