Chapter 13: Crown Prince’s Gift
The chess match ended up being quite heated.
The adults had finished their meeting when Prince Edward challenged me to a sixth game, and my parents arrived to pick me up.
I was on my way to the carriage after saying goodbyes to the king and his family when I was stopped by Prince Edward.
“Hey! Mariel.”
I could see that his blue eyes were filled with vexation.
I believe he was upset because he had lost to me at chess. But I only defeated him once in three games. But I suppose he wants to win all of them.
“What is it, your Highness?”
Prince Edward tightens his fists and thrusts them forward.
“Remember the chess rules I taught you. I won’t let you win a single match the next time! “
You want to play next time? Fine, I’ll take you at your word!
“Of course, your Highness. Next time, let’s play chess together.”
I smile.
Don’t think I’m the same person I was the first time.
My grandfather taught me how to play shogi when I was Japanese and living as Marie; we went to the neighborhood shogi club, and he was very strong; I never won a game.
Prince Edward is a chess player, not a shogi player though.
“You have my word.”
Prince Edward chuckles.
I’d never had this conversation with him before.
I didn’t have romantic feelings for him, but my life might have turned out differently the first time if I had been a little closer to him.
The next day, Prince Bernhardt comes to me as a matter of course.
What’s unusual is that he has a white kitten with him.
“What’s wrong? That kitty.”
“This is a gift for you. Take it.”
He grabbed the kitten’s neck with his hand and held it out to me, which I quickly accepted.
“Please don’t be rough. Don’t feel sorry for the kitten?!”
“I rescued him after he got stuck up a tree and couldn’t get down.”
Prince Bernhardt folded his arms and said it with zeal. He’s clearly not paying attention to me.
The kitten meows and reaches for my hair with its tiny paws. She probably thinks it’s a toy.
But still…
Kyaa! So adorable! How? What a cute creature!
When I’m engrossed in the kitten, a grumpy voice comes flying out.
“Hey! Don’t you have anything to say to me?!”
“What? Oh. Thank you very much. What shall we call her? “
“What is the kitten’s gender? Oh, it’s actually a girl.”
“How about Luna, because she has golden eyes like the moon?”
Luna meows in response, so let’s go with Luna.
“Ruria, Blanc, this is Luna, our new family member.”
I Introduce Luna to Ruria and Blanc.
“Kii~yui!”
“Hoo hoo!”
“Meow!”
Luna meows, as if greeting Luria and Bran.
“…Bringing the kitten here was a mistake.”
Prince Bernhardt blurts out.
“Did you say something?”
“…No.”
[I rescued a kitten who had climbed a tree and couldn’t get down.] Does he remember what was said to him?
But that doesn’t mean I prefer boys who are “egocentric.”
I’m just going over a few things.
