“King Otwar did that?”

Hearing the news from her husband, King Brior, the Queen narrowed her eyes.

The two are currently inside the Queen’s chamber.

King Otwar is the current ruler of the Kingdom of Levanor located to the north of Brior.

The 3 countries namely Brior, Levanor, and Philarush are collectively called the Lunoir Triple-Alliance. A long time ago, these 3 countries were once a single superpower so the diplomatic relationship between them is quite active and they share a very close tie to one another.

After using her white bishop to take the King’s knight, the Queen gently leaned back on her sofa.

At the moment, the Queen and the King are in the middle of a chess match. The prize for the winner this time is the right to decide which summer villa they will visit for their vacation. However, hearing the news from her husband, it doesn’t seem like they will have enough free time to relax at a villa this year. In truth, the Queen couldn’t care less which villa they will visit but since the King made it a bet, she accepted the chess match. After all, the Queen isn’t quite fond of losing.

“Well, there’s that incident after all. We can’t refuse it this time.”

“Ara, is there really a need to refuse though?”

Seeing the corners of the Queen’s mouth raised up, a wrinkle formed between the King’s eyebrows.

“……what are you scheming now?”

“Scheming you say? Do I look like the type to do that?”

Fufu, the Queen laughs.

And the King was convinced by her smile. This is his beloved wife who has been by his side for so many years. He can tell immediately if her smile is a genuine one or an evil one.

The Queen then picked up her queen.

“I personally support it you know.”

Thud, the Queen placed her queen on the board. Looking at the board, the King’s expression immediately changed.

“W, Wait! That’s……!”

“It seems that it is my victory today as well.”

The white queen was placed in front of the black king.

Even if he gets the queen in the next move, it would still result in checkmate.

Fufu, the Queen made another smile. This time it is a genuinely happy one.

“It appears that fortune has favored me this time, Your Majesty.”

Ugh, The King regretfully groaned.
