My Fiancee Was the Villainess of This World

5 – Playing with a witch

A guy who has been beaten is less painful and gets hit better.

“Your Highness, you are out of breath! How many times have I told you to breathe through your nose!”

“Keuk, kuk, uh, uh, uh!”

Several years have already passed since I let go of my duties as a prince and have been careless.

If I had to say the sports I did, horseback riding and hunting, which I enjoyed as hobbies, were over.

To call such a person early in the morning and harass them like this… !

I felt like dying.

“Let’s take a break!”

But whenever that happened, the captain of the knights exquisitely gave them a break.

If a person who has been hit with a beating gets hit less painfully, then a person who has been beaten in reverse is the law of hitting well.

‘The first button… !’

I don’t even have the strength to spit out the gourd I cursed at that idiot who was making a happy face because he was out of breath.

I really felt like dying.

“You said you had an appointment today, right? It’s a pity, but we’ll end it here.”

Dirty guy.

For three days, I really thought I might die.

“The rumors are true.”

Since he was lying on the floor, forgetting his chest, greedily craving oxygen, the knight commander showed a soft smile that was not befitting of his size.

“I work hard for the opposite s*x I like. At first, that’s enough.”

After saying that, the knight commander rubbed his index finger under his nose with an embarrassed expression.

This was the posture that I used to describe in my previous life as ‘Koseuk’.

“I just wanted to win her heart… You have come very far.”

There is no Imperial person who does not know that the leader of the knights is a loving wife.

He was a man whose mouth became light when talking about his wife to the point where he joked like that.

“That happened when I was six years old.”

This is a story you already know.

But I pretended to listen to the story of the knight commander as if I was hearing it for the first time.

Because I wanted to rest even a little longer.

As the captain of the knights was about to tire of his love for his wife, the lady-in-waiting near her handed me a towel.

“Oh no…. The story is long. We will do that for today.”

Then, perhaps the knight commander noticed, he stopped talking and announced the end of training.

“Thank you as always.”

“hahahaha, this is nothing.”

Dirty bastard.

After thanking the knight leader, I headed to the bathroom to wash away the dirt from his body, and then to the drawing room where he was waiting.

“Have you waited long?”

I said that as I opened the door to the drawing room and went in. Priscilla got up from her seat and tried to greet me, but then froze.

Her quivering eyes were pointed directly at my head.

Is it that strange that I cut my hair?

How could all the subjects of this country respond to cutting their hair a little rather than falling off the horse?

The ungodly bastards.

“Ah.”

Perhaps remembering the fact that she bumped into me and didn’t even greet me, Priscilla greeted me a little flustered.

After receiving such a greeting from Priscilla, I sat across from her.

A tea from Istria, with a certain amount of assertiveness but with a clean throat, was placed in front of me.

As I sipped the tea leisurely, I watched Priscilla’s eyes.

‘What do I have to say?’

To tie her to her system, her relationship has improved.

And in order to get to know each other better in the future, she revealed her intention to meet with her every weekend.

Her problem was that she didn’t know what to talk about with her.

Conversation is established only when there is a topic.

And a topic should be an area in which both parties show interest to some extent….

‘Ah, I guess I can do it with this.’

“Doesn’t it suit you very well?”

I pricked her as she touched her hair, to which she reacted furiously.

“It is not.”

But why did you react so violently?

“Just….”

“Just?”

“….”

I don’t know why he stopped talking.

I glared at her with her expression of frustration.

Then Priscilla clicked her lips and looked a little worried, and then she opened her cherry lips and let out her words.

“Now… Are you okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“That head….”

Priscilla hesitated for a long time and looked hesitant.

The story she hesitates so much….

‘Ah, were you paying attention to that?’

At first, she was apparently growing her hair in memory of her deceased mother.

She believed that she had to protect her hair, which was inherited from her mother and was brighter than gold.

But now, I was just cultivating it like a habit.

Perhaps it was because of the memories from my previous life, but now it felt cumbersome and cramped, but I cut it off when a good opportunity came along….

“Because you can’t dwell on the past forever.”

“I see.”

Priscilla looked at my hair for a while, then she smiled softly as she raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

“It suits you well, Maximilian.”

“… Thanks.”

The appearance of smiling brightly like a flower blooming was truly magical.

A witch indeed.

“How is the system? I don’t know if I can survive.”

“I’m not used to it yet, but I think it’s a good place.”

It’s a relief that the car is in front of her eyes.

If you are at a loss for words, you can lift the teacup like this.

Dalgak.

“I’m really glad you came.”

“Yes, do you?”

“The commander of the knights became motivated and tried to kill me.”

Cook-Cook.

As if the story of the imperial castle had been told to Priscilla, she covered her mouth and smiled gracefully.

“I should see you more often.”

“….”

It was the first time.

I never thought she would make a joke like this.

I thought she was the kind of boring person who kept aloof from jokes.

“I should check the stock of the car.”

Awkward.

Priscilla, who had reached out for her car, withdrew her hand with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“Just kidding.”

“….”

Ah, you seem a little angry right now?

She used to be the one who always hesitated and humbled herself no matter what I said.

But now, for some reason, I feel that our gaze has become a little similar.

Is it because our relationship has changed?

“The commander of the knights was very satisfied. He said he was grateful for showing interest in the wholesome hobby of horseback riding.”

Until now, I had lived a life steeped in alcohol and gambling.

“He is a really cheeky guy. You mean meddling with your hobbies?”

“….”

“You look like you want to say the same thing as the knight commander.”

“… You look more energetic and healthy now.”

“Whoa.”

I always thought he would take my side like a yes-man, but this time he’s on the side of the knight commander.

Who do you think I am suffering from in the first place, this witch… !

“You mean that?”

“Maximilian?”

I ordered her lady-in-waiting to bring me the play box I had left in her drawing room.

“There are likes and dislikes in hobbies, but there is no good or bad.”

As I said that, I started shuffling the cards from the box brought by the lady-in-waiting.

Perhaps surprised by my flamboyant hand movements, Priscilla opened her mouth with a puzzled expression.

“How is it?”

“Hand… You seem to be very talented.”

“Big!”

The lady-in-waiting who was waiting to pour tea for us burst out unbearably.

The lady-in-waiting, who met her eyes with mine, turned black with a dead expression and began to bow her head.

“Sorry. I forgot the case and committed this rudeness….”

Priscilla bowed her head to me, saying that it was my fault, perhaps to protect the lady-in-waiting.

She is a model woman of nobility.

To say that she bowed her head for the sake of a lady-in-waiting.

Is this really smoke?

In fact, isn’t there something wrong with the memory of the previous life?

I felt like my head kept getting complicated.

“It has been done. That it is insignificant.”

I put the shuffled cards in front of me and her, then opened her mouth.

“You can play poker, right?”

“… I know the rules.”

“I look forward to that.”

Okay, that’ll do.

If you focus on the game like this, I don’t think you need to bother to bring up the topic.

Today playing cards, next board games, then….

‘It would be nice to share a review of the book.’

Great.

I thought I could continue dating for a month without any problems.

“At this rate, something is boring. How is it? Trying to make a light bet.”

“I’m sorry, but gambling….”

“Just kidding.”

… Stop without me knowing

Still, playing poker is a bit boring, just showing off each other’s genealogy….

As I was rummaging through the boxes with that thought in mind, an unexpected object caught my eye.

“That?”

The box contained a stack of cards with skewed writing that had turned yellow over time.

I thought it disappeared somewhere, but I never thought it would be stored in a place like this.

“This is the card I played with Dior when I was still close with him.”

To be precise, it is a stack of cards with penalties written on it.

“If you lose the game, turn over these cards one by one and follow the instructions written on them.”

It was the time when I was still close with Dior, so it is an old item that is at least 7 years old.

At that time, he and I were both famous troublemakers in the imperial castle.

“Are you curious?”

I handed the old stack of cards from her box to a slightly hesitant Priscilla.

“….”

Priscilla was handed her deck of cards at random, looking a little flustered.

Whoa.

She let out a sigh of relief as she strained herself, wondering what she was worried about.

In the first place, it is a game that little children would think of.

I don’t think there’s anything to be nervous about.

‘No, wasn’t that kind of worrying? I’m pretty damn ugly.’

So that’s why you’re looking at me like that.

Because he was famous for having a temper when the topic of Dior came up.

A pitiful bastard.

“Then let’s begin.”

That’s how the card game began.

No big deal.

It is a card game without chips worth betting on.

It’s a monotonous game where you just face each other, check your card hand, and keep an eye on your opponent while continuing the game.

There’s no way anything great will happen.

But—

“I lost.”

“Hmm.”

“… Lost.”

“Mmm.”

“….”

“hahahaha, hahahaha!”

“….”

It was a good harvest to know that she couldn’t play the game even if she couldn’t do it.
