I Favor the Villainess
12. Prince Game - For Rod
During the afternoon of socializing, a group of men was flourishing somewhat in the lobby of a college full of noble children.
At its centre is Master Rod-Bauer.
He is the first prince of this country.
As I've written before, that personality is in a nutshell mine.
Not broken, not bent, even forward.
It is also my bad race.
People are constantly around Master Rod like that.
Though civilians and half aristocrats are too afraid to get close, senior aristocrats are desperate for everyone to connect the edges at all.
However, unlike you, who are often surrounded by a lot of women, it seems that Master Rod is often with the same sex.
Seems more interesting in your age that you're still joking with the same sex than romance with the opposite sex.
"Oh, isn't that Ray? Come here, too."
Nevertheless, exceptions also exist.
He thinks he's funny. People want to be near him, regardless of their gender.
I've been intrigued by the exams.
Claire, I came to the lobby with your treat, but I got caught unlucky today.
"No, because I need to take care of Master Claire."
"Fine, right? Thank you for speaking to Master Rod."
For the truth of Claire, say, "Go away,"
Lene is also smiling bitterly.
"No. I am always by Lord Claire's side. How about this loyalty? Please reward me with something."
"It's not about saying it yourself, is it?!?
Yeah, Master Claire still has a scratch on her today.
"Nice, Claire's with me. I'm playing a little chess right now."
"Master Rod is too strong for anyone."
That's what the aristocrats and bumpy youth in attendance said.
Chess.
The nobles around here are not entertaining counterparts.
Master Rod is really strong.
Chess has been tapped into as a fundamental because he has also been educated from an early age to take command of the army.
"Claire was strong there, wasn't she? What do you say, one inning?
"Please don't. I'm no match for Lord Rod."
I hate to lose, Master Claire, but Master Rod is strong enough for her to throw a spoon like that.
When I say this, can you tell a little about its strength?
"How's Ray?
"I... well, to a lesser extent"
"One inning, let's play. Interested."
"Oh, I don't mind."
and so on, I decided to play chess with Master Rod.
……
"It's a check"
"Civilians... you..."
Around Master Claire's use of disdain in front of Master Rod, upset is transmitted.
The nobles around him seemed to be bothering too.
The game was almost unilaterally pushed by me.
Lord Rod's King has been in distress since earlier.
……
Speaking of Rod, disappear your usual leeway and stare at the plate face with seriousness.
How about the next Luke move, the battle will be decided.
"Ray... you're strong"
"Not so much."
"Don't be modest. I haven't fought this far since you."
Naturally, Master Yu also plays chess.
And not as strong as Master Rod, but very strong.
"Will you be surrendered?
"Hey you! No disrespect!?
Master Claire is distracted.
But I knew it.
"No, I'm sure you're strong... but still, not as good as me"
That said, Master Rod moved Luke.
Mr. Rod's Luke was just around the corner between his King and mine - moving to take the queen he was checking.
"Checkmate."
I knew it would unfold, but I'm going to verify a few moves.
Even if Luke is taken here in the bishop, the king is taken a few more steps in the bishop in that position with Knight's bait.
Even if King runs away, Luke keeps rumbling and this enclosure is a bump.
I'm still taken by Pawn, who promoted to Queen a few hands away.
It's packed.
"We lost."
"Ooh!"
A gallery springs up in a magnificent reverse play.
Master Rod had a satisfying grin.
"No, you were really critical"
"No. You've been working on this reading muscle since the middle of the day, right?
"What, you were aware"
"Yeah, I was wondering if Luke was taken by Bishop in the middle of the defeat."
"Right. That was a little greedy."
Playing sentimental battles with others, I realized that my eyes were changing to look at me in some nobility.
Shit.
Did you get too well?
"You're strong!
"Doesn't it look like you're hunting down Master Rod?
"Let's point it at me too!
Fear seems to have ended in concern, but a reaction returned that I'm not sure what it is.
Somehow, the young men gathered here smell similar to Master Rod.
"Well wait. The streak is tough after all this fighting. Leave him alone for today."
Rarely did Master Rod make an adult statement.
Sometimes it feels good to control a fierce battle, but it is the nature of Lord Rod's nature to be able to see this kind of big picture and objective thing.
"But you're really strong. Even civilians can point to chess?
"No, I never mentioned it at home. I knew the rules themselves."
"... what?
Master Rod's eyes were set.
I'm not lying.
I didn't have a chessboard or anything at home as Ray, so I never had a chance to point it out.
Most importantly, as I explained earlier, my hobby in my previous life was gaming, and Chess, a type of board game, did quite well without leaking into that example.
Furthermore, there is a reason why we have been able to fight so well this time.
Revolution mini-games also have AI chess, which I've been working on as well.
AI has several patterns, from the weakest sein-like AI to the strongest back-your-like.
Each AI has its own characteristics in how to defend the attack, and besides Master Back You, if you're doing it, you can win roughly.
So I could actually beat Master Rod this time.
However, when I did that, it was likely that Master Rod's fondness for me would increase again, so I let him have flowers and conceded the win.
My purpose is to love Lady Claire, not to attack my prince in any way.
For the record, in fact, the strongest chess is the earnest eu - commonly known as the back eu.
You're the second sweetest person in the game to follow Master Rod, but if you mean it, you're the strongest.
Master Yu behind the mini-game is also strong with a degree of completeness that doesn't seem like a mini-game for maiden games.
"It's almost the first time and its strength?
"No, I have the experience I pointed to itself. Somewhere else."
……
"Well, Master Claire, it's time for your meal. Master Rod, if you'll excuse me."
That's what I said, and I tried to quit my seat.
"Let's point again.... Now you're serious?
And I was told by people's bad grin.
Oh, this, he's out of his hands.
"When you get a chance"
I left the lobby behind only a blur.
"Civilians... who are you really?
On the road to the dining room, Master Claire asked me that.
"Who is Claire's lovely slave?
"That's how I mislead you again...... Fine. Sooner or later, I'll skin it."
"I hope so."
I have nothing to hide, but if Master Claire is interested in me, I've never gone beyond that.
In that sense, I guess I appreciate Master Rod for inspiring me.
"By the way, what was the reward for your loyalty earlier?
"There isn't!
