”How are you so good at chess Lilinor? Does Johra co?”
”It's ok I can play more if you want”
”One ame!”
I woke up to a scene of Jerna and Lilinor playing chess on my bed Jerna's face was completely covered in charcoal
”What are you doing?”
”Ah Johra, you're awake Jerna wanted et out of your bed So I asked her if we can decide it by a game of chess”
”Uh…”
The charcoal on Jerna's face was definitely a result of her losses From Lillinor's point of view thisin chess to a little girl who looked even younger than her broke all her confidence
Wuaaaaaaaa!
As we exchanged a glance, Jerna could no longer bear the shame and ran out of the room in tears
”Is chess a ga? I had no idea Should I have cried yesterday?”
”Not really, it's so unique no Jerna”
Viezda ake and tired frootten little sleep
”Do you want to go for breakfast?”
”Is it possible for me to join you as well?”
”Of course, I've already paid the cost of your stay here”
”Cost?”
”Right, with gold you can pay for food You can earn so Also, in order to enjoy chessyou need to first buy it with gold”
”Oh, I thought hu”
”Lets go Lilinor, Viezda”
”Yes master”
We joined up with Jillian and Jerna at the dinner table Her eyes were still a bit wet, but she had calone to wash her face clean, but there still remained some charcoal on her face so I instinctively chuckled
'Although Jerna is pretty talented at chess, Lilinor is still in another level'
Besidesplayed just a few ga ability and skill in laying traps were several notches higher than any human Had it not been for Lena's assistance, I would probably not be able to beat Lilinor either
”Johra,this afternoon”
”Oh~ we haven't seen each other in a while now”
”He ood news”
”I look forward to hearing it”
Jerna began to eat, but kept staring a Lilinor She in turn cut her food into small pieces and tasted just a small amount
”Lilinor, that isn't considered good table manners”
”I don't know about human's manners, but when I eat food I like to taste it beforehand”
I gave her a hard look as I spoke to her
” I thought you were a friend of mine?”
”Ah, then should I eat more like you do?”
”Yes”
After that Lilinor would perfectly copy any ofa reflection in the hter
Viezda as next to her couldn't help herself either
”Johra, what's wrong with the?”
”It's because you are following my actions too closely”
”Is that it?”
After our bit of fun, we finished eating our breakfast and e room for some tea Viezda however went to join the manor's staff
”I hear that you're pretty good at chess, Lilinor” mentioned Jillian
”I can't coh”
”Well, Johra can't even be considered human”
”Is that so?”
Lilinor gave reement
'Why did Lilian agree?'
”There are s about Johra which are too abnormal”
”Yes I agree”
Jerna concurred with them
”I'm human…”
I tried to conored by the trio
”The Count has arrived”
Announced the chief butler, so ent out to greet him
”What a flashy carriage, and what's with this retinue?”
There were 20 Knights, dressed in fancy and colorful are
”It's the I on?”
Jillian exclaimed in surprise, just as the count stepped out
”Count Sion?”
”Father, what's going on?”
”Be polite, it is her Majesty's carriage”
”A hu”
Hearing the count's explanation everyone except Lilinor was completely dumbfounded
As we kept our heads bowed, the Princess exited the carriage and was escorted by the count She was dressed in a stunning Ivory white dress with the occasional golden sparkle Her skin was pure white, so I could tell that she had a very protective upbringing
”Everyone, please raise your heads Count Sion, can you introduce us please?”
When she raised her face, it was so pale one would almost think she was sick However her voice was cal, 17 year old body didn't match the maturity she exuded, which was that of an experienced 40 year old woman
”These are my children, Jillian and Jerna”
”It is a pleasure to meet you, your Majesty!”
”I am Mayardus Gran Einhart Nice to meet you both”
After greeting the others, the princess walked towardsexpression I took the chance to secretly give Lilinor a look so that she would act appropriately To which she nodded back
”This is the man I had spoken to you about”
”It is a pleasure to meet you, your Majesty”
”Your Majesty”
I used the sa that Jillian and Jerna had done, and Lilinor copied ain
”Pfff, how cute! I heard many tales of you Jora, so I canext to you?”
She was clearly interested in her cobalt blue hair and strange clothing which didn't appear in regular human society
”Oh, this is Lilinor, a distant relative ofin a foreign culture for quite some time”
”Ms Lilinor? Pleased to meet you”
”Likewise”
The faces of her knights instantly turned cold, but the princess kept a warm expression
”Would you be so kind as to guide me?”
The princess reached out to me
'shi+t, what am I supposed to do in this situation?'
Everyone including the Count was looking at me nervously, but I didn't have a clue as to as the proper etiquette here
”I'll help you out Johra, just gently place your hand under hers and carefully guide her It is what they refer to as the noble's escort
'Thanks Lena, you’re my savior'
As I tried to properly lead the princess towards the reception roohts around usof an army
