A Righteous Female Knight Never Compromises!-Chapter 30 : A Little Chat with Princess Mia
Chapter 30 - A Little Chat with Princess Mia
Anyway, in the simulation, Anna didn't know how she had managed to convince Princess Mia, but now, she had absolutely no idea how to convince her.
It was simple... because ever since the meeting with Princess Mia, Louise and Mia had been discussing topics that Anna found hard to interject into, such as childhood memories or some philosophical works she had never heard of.
Thanks to Mia, Anna learned for the first time that Louise knew so much.
Looking at it this way... aside from having a better figure and higher combat skills than Louise, wasn't she completely outmatched in every other aspect (sad).
Why did Louise fall for someone as unremarkable as herself back then?
As if sensing Anna's unease, while chatting with Mia, Louise gently wrapped her arm around Anna's slender waist.
This restless little hand was naturally noticed by Anna. Feeling Louise's hand fidgeting on her waist, a gentle rubbing made Anna's ears turn quite red.
Fortunately, Princess Mia didn't know that Anna was a half-elf, nor did she know that Anna's ears would turn red whether she was shy or lying. Seeing Louise holding Anna, a strange smile appeared on her face:
“You two are really beautiful~”
“Is... is that so?” Being looked at with such a strange smile by Princess Mia, Anna felt inexplicably shy.
She had seen a similar look before, back at the knight academy, when a female classmate was helping her childhood male friend pursue the male class monitor...
It was like... a look of satisfaction at seeing others together?
“Um... Anna... may I call you Anna directly?” Mia asked.
“Of course.”
“Then you can call me Mia.” Mia smiled slightly, “When I saw you at the palace, I felt you were extraordinary.”
“...How so?” Anna was still puzzled. Her disguise should have been perfect at that time, and her male attire fits her perfectly. Even the most troublesome front armor had been flattened. How could Princess Mia recognize her as “Anran” at a glance?
“It's the aura, the aura,” Princess Mia said, “I can't quite put my finger on what kind of aura... but when I saw you, Anna, your aura told me that you shouldn't be a man, but a woman.”
“After talking with you, this feeling deepened, but I still didn't know who you were.”
“Until a few days ago, when I went to your house and mentioned that my elder sister wanted to cooperate with you, after a brief chat, I felt that you must be that Anran.”
“That's just 'must be'...? Then you... oh, I see.”
Although Princess Mia wasn't sure if Anna was that Anran, the final address was entirely to trick Anna.
And although her reaction wasn't extreme, she very naturally accepted the address... didn't that just confirm it more?
“Speaking of which, how did Anna and Louise meet? Can you tell me?” Mia blinked mischievously, “Last time we met, I briefly mentioned Louise's childhood. As an exchange, it's only fair that I know how you and Louise met, right?”
“This...”
The little hand that was holding Anna instantly changed from rubbing to pinching, just slightly pinching Anna's waist.
As if Anna dared to say a word, Louise's hand would immediately twist that piece of flesh 360 degrees.
“This... it's still not very convenient to say... right?” Anna was forced to put on a wry smile.
“It's okay, we can talk about it slowly next time we meet.”
Mia naturally noticed the anomaly in her childhood friend Louise. Although Louise's hand was under Anna's clothes, Mia could easily guess that Anna was now in a “coerced” state.
“Just chatting like this isn't enough.”
As she spoke, Mia suddenly pulled out a chessboard from under the table.
“Let's play chess? Anna, do you know how to play chess?”
“...I've learned a little.”
At the academy, it was considered an interest, something you could learn if you wanted to. Anna had briefly learned about this chess game called Knight's Chess.
“Knowing a little is enough, let's give it a try.”
Seeing Princess Mia's eager expression, Anna hesitated, then finally nodded in agreement.
Bringing up the cooperation now would really ruin the atmosphere, so let's play a game first.
Looking at the already set up chessboard and the pieces on her side, Anna's mind suddenly went blank.
...How do you play this again?
...
Although she had some understanding and knew the basic rules and how to play, it had been too long since she last played, and she hadn't played much Knight's Chess at the academy. Under Mia's fierce attack, Anna quickly lost.
...It didn't even take ten minutes.
“It's okay, Anna, you still have a lot of room for improvement.” Seeing Anna pursing her lips in silence, Mia comforted her.
However, hearing this, Anna felt even worse.
Wasn't that just saying she was bad?
Forget it, she was bad to begin with, so there's no point dwelling on it here.
“Then let me try.” Louise, who had been sitting quietly watching the game, suddenly spoke.
“Alright, it's been a long time since I played against you, Louise.” Mia smiled, “We learned chess together back then.”
“Unfortunately, the teacher has passed away.” Louise sat in the seat Anna had just occupied, “...And you didn't even tell me about the teacher's death.”
“At that time, we didn't know where you had gone, Louise.” Mia moved a piece.
Louise had actively sneaked off to the town back then, without telling any friends about her becoming a knight, which Anna knew.
The battle between the two was much more intense than Mia's slaughter of Anna.
As they played, Mia stopped chatting and focused on the game.
The atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze, and Anna didn't dare to breathe loudly, afraid of disturbing their game.
However, the one who broke the solemn atmosphere was still Mia.
“So, Louise, and Anna, you came to see me not just to chat and play chess, right?”
