The Eternal Debauchery's

ll chess game

For a few minutes, only the sound of the two of us moving the chess piece could be heard.

Neither Safelia nor I spoke. We just looked at the chessboard while calmly moving our pawns.

However, I have to admit that Safelia is a great chess player.

Even after nearly thirty rounds, there seemed to be no clear winner. Each of us has eight pieces left on the chessboard.I have a king, a castle, a knight, and a bishop plus four pawns. Safelia, on the other hand, had her king, two forts and a bishop plus four pawns.

We both made our moves very quickly. More precisely, we use exactly one second for each movement.

“... You are pretty good, Prince Claus.” Safelia praised as she moved the pawn one step forward. “Not many people your age are as adept at chess as you.”

"You're not bad either." I commend him back. “Just a little worse than me.”

Safelia's smile stiffened. He doesn't know how to repay it.

"… How funny." He moved his lips and shook his head while I made my next move.

Safelia then took her other chess piece, a fortress, and moved it to eat my piece.I clicked my tongue in mock disappointment before removing my bishop.

"you know, prince Claus, I think life is like chess."

"Oh? Is that so?”

"Of course." Safelia nodded slowly while making her next move. “A good chess player only needs to remember the enemy pieces and pieces, then he must move the pieces according to it, predict the movement of the enemy and slowly corner it.”

“A good analogy.” I'm nodding.

“Unfortunately, the real world is not that simple. Sometimes, the pieces you have are not enough to defeat the enemy.”.

"Do you think so, Prince?" Safelia looked me in the eye. “I, on the other hand, think that even a well-used pawn can destroy a fortress.” Right at that moment, one of his pawns ate my fortress.

I breathed excessively. “Excellent, I didn't see it coming.”

I then moved my bishop to eat his pawn.

Safelia continued. “you see, prince. No one in the empire had more chess pieces than the church. Our chess pieces are in every place, soldiers, castles, nobles, commoners. No one has more chess pieces than us.”

“Wah, amazing.” I whistle in shock. Safelia frowned for a moment hearing my sarcasm, but in the end, she decided to ignore it.

“Think about that, Prince Claus. As a church, we can easily make chess pieces as kings, no.., emperor.”

I looked at Safelia deeply. This girl actually dared to talk to me about this topic.

“I think the church is forbidden to participate in politics.” I said.

"Well, rules are made to be broken." Safelia answered calmly.

I nodded and looked at the chessboard. After a second, I raised my knight and moved it forward.

“... Look, inevitably I feel a little suspicious now. Why has the church acted so far only for a girl?” kataku.

As soon as I spoke, my mana surged around, filling the room with terrifying killing intent.

Safelia's body trembled for a moment. He looked at me with surprise and fear, but a moment later, a foreign power surged within him and eased my pressure.

My eyes narrowed. Blessing of the Gods, yes.

With the help of the Goddess of Order's power, Safelia managed to regain her composure. He took a deep breath and looked at me with a watchful look.

Then, he spoke.

“Prince Claus, you do not understand at all the importance of the holy princess to our church. In the history of the church, only two holy princesses appeared, and each of them managed to make the church at least twice as strong as before they appeared. In other words, the holy princess is a sign of the growth of the church. Currently, we are the largest religion in the empire, but with the help of Clara, we can become the largest religion in the world!” Safelia's tone of voice sounded almost fanatical.

I narrowed my eyes. “Then, what is your proposal?”

It was just one more step from turning into a queen. “If you do, we will make sure to make you the next emperor. At that time, strength, revenge, women, everything will be at your fingertips. ”

I stared at Safelia for a few seconds before laughing. “Good proposal. Unfortunately, you are wrong about something. ”

“Mm?”

I smiled gently and moved my knights again. In my next move, it could kill its king.

Check over.

“Strength, women, revenge. I don't need your help to get it. Besides, I wouldn't sell the woman I love for something like that. Check, miss Safelia. ”

Safelia's expression turned cold. "Are you sure this is your answer, prince Claus?"

"i'm sure." I'm nodding.

Safelia grunts. "Dip." He then looked at the board and instinctively raised the king. But as he was about to move it, he noticed the placement of the other pieces on the chessboard.

Right now, one of the fortresses and its pawns were blocking two possible moves of its king. As for the other two, they are on my bishop's path.

"This is…"

"Supremey." I smile.

Safelia's surprised. He looked at every part of it and realized that unknowingly, he had fallen into my trap.

"you…"

I stood with a grin on my face. “It was a great match, Miss Safelia. Unfortunately, you are still a few levels below me. ”

"When"

“Fifteen rounds ago. At that time, the game was mine. It's just that you didn't realize it until now. About your proposal, thank you but not.”

Safelia looked at me deeply. "Are you sure about this, prince?"

"Of course."

Safelia nodded. "So so. To be honest, I admire your determination. However, I hope you do not regret today's decision. ”

“Don't worry, I won't.”

With those words, I left.

…

Safelia looked at the prince's back with a pensive expression.

When Claus finally left, he sighed.

“... Saints, do you need anything?” A man suddenly appeared behind Safelia and asked.

Safelia thought for a moment and nodded. "Find a way to make things difficult for the prince."

“... Do I need to kill him?”

Safelia shook her head. “No, it is not a good idea to kill a prince. If that doesn't work, I'll think of another method. ”

The man behind Safelia nodded.

"Understood."
