Archer Empress

....

Third Person's Pov

As soon as the sun rises the entourage continued their journey to the capital.

The weather is good. All five still sitting together on the same carriage. This time they made sure to prepare something to do, they played go changing opponents one after another.

" Seems like no one can beat the crown prince on playing" Lady Miya said while observing each game played by the highness's.

" Tssk I just take it easy for him of course after ten rounds it'll be his loss" prince Kaja pouted.

" I'm only good at playing tag with beautiful flowers, this game is Alucard's best" prince Valir said while flipping non existing hair on his face.

"Hmmm hmmm" a fake cough from prince Roger. This three really can't play go well , however they are really competitive.

" You three are hopeless in go ,none of you were able to defeat me" the crown prince said with his straight face.

" I also am quite interested in playing after watching each game you played. If crown prince would give me this honor. I would also want to try." I said as I put my tea down.

" Ohh I would accept my Lady. Maybe you'll be able tp defeat me not like this three" he said while teasing the others I can't help but giggle . During this time I am able to get to know them a bit and unlike before being with them is no longer awkward.

" Please go easy on me then I only played couple of times before with his majesty" I answered as they prepare the board for us to play since we sit beside each other.

" Then I'll let you choose my Lady if you want to take the first move or not" the crown prince.

" I would like to defend instead which is also a good offense, please do take the first move your highness" I said with a smile. Ohh I forgot to add earlier, playing with his majesty will always end up one game after another. As to why let's talk about it after the game.

" I understand I'll start then" he said as he put one stone on the board.

I take my time placing a stone right after. Each time I put a stone the crown prince will be able to immediately put his stone. I intentionally take my time before plaing mine on the board to make it look like Im thinking hard of my moves. I can say that I may not be the best but I am definitely not the worst when playing go.

Regarding the games I played with his Majesty, I somehow always end up winning so his majesty will askto play each time. That is why I avoid playing with him once he ask, since I can't go easy on him or he'll ask me to play all night long until he win fair and square.

For some reason I would like to beat the crown prince to help ease these three poor highness's whose like defeated puppies in front of a cunning wolf.

After few minutes of playing the game a gasp can be heard when I look up to see who it is. I almost laught put loud forgetting to be ladylike when I see the dumbfounded faces of prince Kaja and prince Valir and I can help to laugh completely when I also see prince Roger's shock face which is first.

" This....this ..." That's prince Kaja whose trying to say something.

" Wow I can finally see this day to come" prince Valir exclaimed. Prince Roger somehow is able to calm himself and smile a bot. Woah that's new for sure. This game is worth to play.

" When you said you played with father earlier...." Understanding what the crown prince is asking . I smiled and answered "oh right about that his Majesty always lets me win each time" I keep smiling innocently like thats the most obvious thing that hppens.

" You humble yourself too much. It's my defeat " He said as he look at me and smiled.

"Are you sure you did not go easy on the Lady? " Prince Kaja asked again.

" Tssk you've been watching the game" the crown prince said while raising an eyebrow.

" Ahhhh finally even though we lost everytime, somehow I feel so much better watching your defeat for the first time" prince Valir said laughing loudly. I even see prince Roger's nod in agreement for the first time since I've met them.

I suddenly don't know if I should laugh or feel bad for the crown prince.

" Each move you make defended your piece will and once you make move to attack it's sure win very dececive" suddenly the crown prince mumbled.

Wait this.....I can feel something ominous and a deja vu. This happens before ...

Before he can say another anything.

" Hmmm hmmm I feel a bit dizzy all of sudden." While putting a hand on my head.

" Too bad , you may rest then my Lady, maybe we can play again sometime" prince Alucard said. Goodness like father like son indeed. I can already see him asking a game after another just like his majesty. Everytime he lose he will be interested in my moves that will end up wanting to see more and play another game.

" I somehow feel like I need to learn more about this game. Kaja play with me again" he said. I hide my smile behind the sleeve of my dress and fake a cough.

These three highness's will take the arrow in behalf of this frail Lady . I should say my thanks later once we take a camp for the night again.

I'll just watch another set of onslaught matches as the journey continues. Let's see how long will it take for this three prince's will able to keep playing with the crown prince. Who will be the first to give up playing one game after another.

I bet even prince Roger will not be able to last for more games.
