The princess was defeated in chess.
chess.
It’s a very classic brain game.
A game in which two players use checkered boards and specially shaped pieces to eliminate their opponent’s pieces.
It sounds like a simple game where you just have to use your own piece to eliminate the opponent’s piece. In fact, it wasn’t a game at all.
As if it was not called a classic brain game for nothing, even when moving each piece, I had to anticipate how many numbers would happen in the future.
There is a saying that in a game between chess masters, one game consumes more than 4,000 calories.
I could see how much the game requires a lot of brain power.
You could ask what romance fantasy novels have chess.
But it did exist. Surprisingly, it existed.
I don’t even know why it exists. Because the writer might be a big fan of chess.
In any case, chess existed in the worldview of [The Prince Holds a Sword], and scenes where the main character, the Crown Prince, played chess with other characters a few times were described.
Each time, the main character, Mikhail Schelgart, always won thanks to the main character’s buff.
The character who played chess with him said, ‘You have a great brain. I will follow you.’ There were also episodes where Mikhail became a subordinate while doing this.
Returning to the original story of Me and Rebecca, I and Rebecca have already played quite a bit of chess.
It’s not that I and Rebecca aren’t commoners who wouldn’t have been exposed to a lot of games like this, but we’re both nobles who are used to this kind of entertainment.
It’s not that I never had to explain the rules of chess to Rebecca.
Of course, out of so many games, I didn’t lose a single one.
only one plate.
It’s not that Rebecca can’t play chess.
Rather, he was on the good side. Because Rebecca, with her hair like a Munchkin princess, actually almost beat me several times.
Sometimes, when they attacked me with unexpected numbers, there were times when I worried that I might lose.
Still, I haven’t lost a single game.
Even before I was possessed in the first place, I was also a person who liked chess very much.
“Are you going to be defeated by another extraordinary move this time?”
“····.”
Because Rebecca, who was always full of thoughts that if she scratched Rebecca’s feelings in this way, would unconditionally defeat me, took care of herself.
Even if I play the game safely, I get greedy in a situation that beats me and rolls it up.
You lose the game as it is because you can’t find the traps you have installed openly.
It has always been so.
“Laugh a lot now, because soon you’ll be begging me for your fault.”
However, whether the fact that the penalty was changed to granting wishes stimulated Rebecca’s win-win spirit, Rebecca did not easily fall for my provocation.
Up until now, Rebecca has grown up quite a bit by getting hit with me.
The thought of wanting to clap my hands came to my mind.
“I don’t know how many times I’ve heard that word.”
“····.”
Rebecca’s face wrinkled right away at my tired reaction.
And then my continuous punches.
“Looking at the princess’s ugly expression, I think I’ll win today’s chess too.”
“····.”
“How many times have I told you that such an expression doesn’t suit a princess.”
“········ Leave it alone.”
Chess began with Rebecca’s third-rate villain lines, which she was now familiar with.
“······Nonsense.”
Naturally, the result of the match was my victory.
***
Rebecca with a confused expression on her face.
I did just that. Because this time, I almost lost.
Whether it was because he had learned from a professional chess teacher, Rebecca’s chess skills had improved a lot without seeing it.
Overwhelmed by Rebecca’s constant pressure, he almost lost.
– Are you struggling because you can’t catch just one Knight? I’m sorry.
This time, the main thing was to shake Rebecca’s mind at the right time.
Ever since she heard that, Rebecca has been obsessed with Knight like crazy.
“I thought I was going to win unconditionally.”
She looked at Rebecca, who was dead for a moment, with sad eyes.
When I put on such a disappointed puppy-like expression, the guilt flooded over me.
However, I didn’t know what kind of disgrace I would face if I lost it out of guilt. Losing was never going to happen.
“······ I have to fire you.”
“…?”
A princess who quietly murmurs with a sense of despair that she couldn’t win.
Suddenly, I felt like a bad guy who took my father’s job.
‘······no way.’
Shaking her head saying it wouldn’t be an effort, she walked closer to Rebecca.
“Why are you coming closer?”
Then, a voice full of the princess’s vigilance was heard.
He was watching with a vigilant look as if he was going to ask me if he came any closer.
He approached right next to Rebecca without paying any attention to that kind of gaze.
“Princess, do you remember what I said before I started playing chess?”
“No. I don’t remember.”
Rebecca shakes her head as if she doesn’t remember anything.
Although it seemed pretty cute, the world of winning had to be sober.
“Obviously, the loser decided to grant the winner’s wish.”
“····.”
There was a time when people had to keep their promises.
When Operation Morsø didn’t work for me at all, Rebecca changed her ways and began to slander me.
“This… you unscrupulous. What are you trying to do to me?”
“It’s unscrupulous for your fiance. The employees of the Duke of Valencia will love it.”
“Are you going to unleash the dark desires you’ve been hiding?”
“…are you talking about me?”
To be honest, it was a little ridiculous.
Even the princess doesn’t want to grant my wish, so it must have been something she said.
‘How hard did I try not to tee off?’
Even so, I did not want to expose my feelings for Rebecca, so I heard those words.
All that came out was that it was absurd.
“I’m curious as to what you’re talking about.”
“There’s no way that you, who is fiancee to a pretty person like me, can’t help but have feelings like that.”
It was a very confident statement.
A statement that only Rebecca, who possesses the fact that she is beautiful and that much pride, can say.
I also didn’t have to refute the princess’s words.
It’s true that Rebecca is pretty, and it’s also true that I have a crush on Rebecca.
However, if you listened to the princess making a swarm, the result of the chess game you had just won through hard work was meaningless.
“Princess.”
I called the princess indifferent.
“You don’t like to carry out a penalty like that?”
“····.”
It was a princess whose lips were trembling a little as if she wanted to answer yes right away. Rebecca is unable to speak because of her face and pride as a princess.
I took advantage of Rebecca’s point, as I have always done.
“If you don’t like the princess. I can do it for you like never before.”
“······Really…”
“Instead, I might act like a princess the next time I’m defeated by the princess.”
Rebecca, who had been happy for a while at the thought of being able to look after her, seemed to have calmed down again at my subsequent words.
The princess will never accept this offer.
It would be worse than dying to have to grant my wish, but Princess Rebecca would hate it even more because there was no reward for defeating me.
If Rebecca had been the one to accept this offer, she wouldn’t have talked about it in the first place.
“that…”
As I expected, Rebecca isn’t that much. has shown a reaction that
“Then, don’t shout, and carry out the punishment.”
“····.”
I did not miss the opportunity and wedged it in.
Rebecca was contemplating between taking a penalty for a while and the feeling of triumph when she beat me later.
“What is your wish?”
He asked for my wish as if it had no choice.
Rebecca’s expression, a mixture of an expression that she really doesn’t want to hear and an expression that she can’t do anything about, was very mysterious.
“Feel free.”
He couldn’t stand the strange and cute expression on his face and burst into laughter.
“…why are you smiling?”
Rebecca’s chilly voice is heard naturally.
I was taken aback by the sudden change in the atmosphere of the room, but I had been living with Rebecca for three years, and I had already learned the guidelines for action in such a situation.
“it’s nothing.”
“····.”
At times like this, I knew that pretending not to know is the best way to be consistent.
It was Rebecca, who looked at me with a disliked expression. He turned his head to avoid the stinging gaze.
The spear with such a stinging gaze and the shield of turning his head that he knew nothing of it fought for a long time.
Rebecca sighed as if she had lost.
“Hey, my fiance is like this.”
“Everyone knows that Princess is good too.”
sting-
A gaze that seemed to ask how he did not say a word.
The princess’ eyes were very sharp. On the contrary, the princess’s voice was gloomy.
“······· As soon as possible, say your wish.”
He said without wasting time because he had a foreboding that he wouldn’t be able to see Rebecca’s face for the next week if he teased him more.
“Give me a cheek kiss.”
“······yes?”
Rebecca is making an expression asking if she’s heard wrong now.
But unfortunately.
“I would appreciate it if the princess could give her fiancé she loves a kiss on the cheek.”
The princess’ ears were very normal.
